Chapter 718: Soul Theft Activated, Blood Sea Abyss Unlocked

Trait [Mastery Through Integration] + Psychic Ability [Cured but Still Drooling] ([Diagnosis: Amnesia]) + Talent [Soul Theft].

This was Yu Yuan's combination attack, forged with [Mastery Through Integration] as the adhesive.

After multiple consecutive failures.

Finally, when the 'False Snake of Rebirth' fiercely launched its self-destruction, heavily injuring the Blood Duke's clone and causing its condition to plummet catastrophically.

He completed a perfect combination attack.

- [Diagnosis: Amnesia activated successfully, acquired one segment of the target's memory]

- [Talent Soul Theft activated successfully, acquired Psychic Ability "Transdimensional · Blood Sea Abyss Descent"]

Yu Yuan had no time to think further. He wildly flung out all the psychic abilities on his body like a madman, a trace of frenzy revealed in his eyes.

Even though his limbs had now completely melted away, he felt no fear whatsoever.

His mind held only one thought, and that was to plunder... to plunder the Blood Duke's strongest talent as well.

Meanwhile, as the core of the battlefield, the Blood Duke's clone had just absorbed the complete self-destruction of the 'False Snake of Rebirth.' Although it had used energy to shield itself at the first moment, it was still unavoidably severely injured, suffering heavy damage from both body and spirit.

But that wasn't the worst of it.

He dazedly felt his weakened body, felt the inexplicable environment around him, felt the terrifying pull and crushing pressure of the Spiritual Dimension against him.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"What's going on, why am I here?"

Then he saw the Bloodline River being forcibly expelled by the Spiritual Dimension, and the Molten Demon below him grinning foolishly at him.

The Blood Duke's clone's mind wandered again, but his gaze suddenly froze.

Because he discovered that the Bloodline River had actually shrunk by one-tenth.

The Blood Duke's clone flew into a rage, but soon he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He felt that his body was actually in a severely wounded state.

"Where exactly is this, what happened?"

Before he could seek answers.

A terrifying hiss had already emerged from the Bloodline River.

It was a terrifying serpent-shaped phantom. The Blood Duke's pupils contracted, then he flew into a rage.

"Snake of Rebirth, why are you coming out of here?"

But the Snake of Rebirth's reaction was not what he had imagined.

The Snake of Rebirth's phantom likewise looked around, emitting a furious roar, the fury of someone who had been fooled and was now humiliated into rage.

"Hiss- So it's you! Blood Duke, you despicable bastard, you've fooled everyone. I'll remember you. Prepare for war!"

A cold glint flashed in the Blood Duke's clone's eyes.

"Hmph, a failure like you who fled from the New World dares to stir up trouble in front of me? Just wait, what you took, I will personally come back to retrieve."

Blood light flickered, and the remaining soul will of the Snake of Rebirth was directly shredded apart.

The Blood Duke's clone finally could no longer resist the pull of the Spiritual Dimension and was forcibly dragged into it.

Disappearing together with the Bloodline River.

Yu Yuan saw the gaze the Blood Duke's clone cast before disappearing and revealed a ferocious grin.

In his Molten Demon state, it was filled with intense derision.

-

Hiss-

The myriad snakes hissed in unison.

"Blood Duke! You damned bastard."

The Snake of Rebirth let out a furious roar.

Artus's soul will had actually appeared in the Blood Duke's hands.

Things were now perfectly clear.

The Moon Shadow's Breath who killed Artus was never a member of the Blood Clan, but one of the Blood Duke's people.

Or perhaps the Blood Clan and the Blood Duke were never as irreconcilable as the outside world imagined, and their current war was nothing more than a staged act.

"These cunning bastards."

The Snake of Rebirth's ears seemed to still echo the Blood Duke's earlier taunts.

- A failure like you who fled from the New World...

Failure...

Those three words were like a steel needle, ceaselessly stabbing at the Snake of Rebirth's nerves.

It had been thoroughly enraged by the Blood Duke. Although it sensed some obvious holes in its earlier logic.

In the Snake of Rebirth's eyes, none of that mattered anymore.

A cold, sinister gleam flashed through its single eye.

"I will definitely make you pay the price."

On the other side, the Blood Duke's consciousness returned from the Spiritual Dimension, his clone merging back into him.

Sensing the inevitable weakening of his aura, the look in his eyes was like a venomous snake.

"The Fallen Abyss, the Snake of Rebirth, the Blood Clan... what are they really doing? And..."

Deep confusion spread across his face.

"What exactly happened just now? Why did I suddenly appear there, what place was that, why did it feel so familiar..."

The Blood Duke discovered that there seemed to be a blank gap in his memory, which filled him with immense confusion and anxiety.

He opened the Virtual Light Screen and checked his own status.

Body condition (lightly wounded), this was caused by the clone's injuries earlier.

The Bloodline River, had actually lost another 11.8% of its share.

The image of the Snake of Rebirth's soul will drifting out of the Bloodline River surfaced once again in the Blood Duke's mind.

"Hmph!"

He continued scrolling down.

Talents normal.

Exclusive talents normal.

Transdimensional talents normal.

Traits normal.

Special traits normal.

Psychic abilities nor... wait.

The Blood Duke's eyes narrowed slightly, staring intently at the psychic ability column.

"Did I lose a psychic ability here? How many psychic abilities did I have before?"

A wave of absurdity, horror, and a hint of what-the-hell emotions surged through the Blood Duke's mind.

He finally confirmed that his memory had developed a serious problem.

The most terrifying part was that he clearly knew something was seriously wrong with him.

Yet he had no idea why this was happening.

Just like now, he could feel that he was missing one psychic ability.

But... what that psychic ability was called, what effects it had, he had not even the slightest shred of memory.

He thought of the Snake of Rebirth again. None of this could be unrelated to that venomous serpent.

"Since you're looking for death, then I'll grant your wish!"

In reality, the Civilization Ladder was also plunged into immense panic and chaos at this moment.

Because just now, all players above Bronze Rank had felt an inexplicable psychic ability tremor.

Followed by a long string of elimination notifications.

Then someone posted a confused message in the chat channel.

[Pigeon Shield Shelter: The guy who declared war on me just now suddenly died from physical collapse. Does anyone know what happened?]

[Single-Hand Whale Train: Huh? You too? Same here, I just won a war for no reason.]

[Single-Eye Monster Cave: So it wasn't just me, what's going on?]

As more and more players cross-referenced information, they were shocked to discover that all these players had died at the exact same time, and they all shared a common identity.

They were all members of the same Gold-tier faction.

That Gold-tier faction's name was... the Bloodlands.
