System: Replicating The Heavens-Chapter 529: Ch : Divine Blood Race

Alex looked around the place that used to be the core area of the research base.

He came here because, moments ago, he felt an indescribable aura rising from this place before disappearing all of a sudden.

"What was that?"

Alex frowned and silently released his Divine Sense to envelop this area. However, to his surprise, not only did his Divine Sense fail to envelop the core area, but it was also forced back by an unknown barrier.

He focused a little and sensed a crude energy rising from underground every second.

Yes, crude energy, not refined—and this energy seemed to be part of a treasure, not something released by a cultivator or a formation.

Alex was surprised but not for long. There are simply too many things in the universe that can block a person's Divine Sense.

However, the same could not be said for Chaos Energy.

The next moment, Alex released several strands of Chaos Energy underground.

As expected, the crude energy was unable to stop the strands of Chaos Energy, and very soon, Alex detected an underground tunnel. This tunnel was deep and without end.

A light flashed in Alex's eyes as he raised his hand and pressed it against the ground.

Rumble~

The earth trembled as a gentle force spread downward out of his body. The next second, the ground collapsed, and a deep tunnel slowly opened in front of him.

Alex stepped forward and descended into the tunnel.

The tunnel was dark, with faint red and black lights glowing from runic symbols carved into the walls. He also sensed the air here was filled with thick blood aura and death energy.

Even so, Alex didn't stop. He continued to walk deeper.

The deeper he went, the stronger the blood aura and death energy became in the air.

After walking for about five minutes through the dark tunnel, Alex suddenly stopped. He could clearly feel that something was still alive down here. Moreover, whatever it was, it was definitely not human.

Why did he feel this way?

Because he sensed a sinister aura that could never belong to any human being.

There was another reason Alex stopped. It's because his Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline and Blood Devouring Abyssal Pearl suddenly started trembling uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline was something he had replicated, so he easily controlled it. As for the Blood Devouring Abyssal Pearl, it was inside the System's Personal Space, so there was no need to worry, no matter how fiercely this pearl reacted.

Shaking his head, Alex once again started walking, and very soon, he reached a massive underground chamber. The space in this chamber was huge, even larger than the floors above. At the center of the chamber, there was a gigantic pit. Inside the pit, countless broken pipes, shattered formation plates, and torn chains were scattered around.

In the middle of all of it, Alex saw an altar.

This altar was made of black crystals mixed with blood-red metal. On it were deep grooves that formed complicated patterns. These patterns were not normal formations but dark runes. Together, they formed sacrifice arrays.

Alex's eyes narrowed when he saw this altar and immediately realized that this place was not only a research base, but also a sacrifice ground.

At the center of the altar, there was a broken crystal container.

"It looks like something was inside, but it broke the container and walked out. What could it be? Another hybrid monster?"

Alex muttered as he observed the broken crystal container in amazement.

Although the container was empty, the remaining aura inside was enough to make anyone's heart feel cold. This was just the remaining aura, but it was already stronger than Henry's aura after he transformed into a Saint King Stage monster.

Henry had transformed into a First or Second Layer of the Saint King Stage monster, but the aura here clearly belonged to a creature at the peak of the Saint King Stage.

Shaking his head, Alex slowly walked forward.

On the ground, there were traces of blood.

Even though they were just traces, they still carried terrifying vitality.

"Divine Blood Race," Alex muttered.

The traces of blood here belonged to a member of the Divine Blood Race.

Talking about Divine Blood Race, this is a terrifying and taboo race in the universe. They believe that bloodline is the root of all power. To them, talent, fate, and even destiny are all decided by blood. Because of this belief, they do not cultivate normally like humans or most races. Instead, they research bloodlines, bodies, and life essence.

They hunt beings with powerful bloodlines and special physiques. Humans, spirit races, beast races, and even ancient races are all their targets. To them, living beings are not people; they are materials. They capture geniuses, dissect their bodies, extract sacred blood, and fuse different bloodlines to create stronger life forms. Their goal is to create a "perfect divine body" that surpasses all races and breaks the limits of cultivation.

They are masters of bloodline extraction, bloodline fusion, physique reconstruction, life essence evolution, and artificial creation of powerful beings.

They can take the blood of a dragon, the body of a saint, the soul of a genius, and merge everything into one monster. Many of their creations lose their sanity because no normal body can endure such power.

This is why Divine Blood Race is the enemy of humanity and many other races. They treat all races as livestock. Anyone with talent is either hunted or experimented on. Their existence threatens the future of all civilizations.

They do not seek coexistence; they seek domination through blood.

In simple words, if compared to the Human Race, it can be said that Humans cultivate, the Divine Blood Race creates power by force.

Humans grow stronger, and the Divine Blood Race steals strength from others.

Humans respect life; the Divine Blood Race sees life as raw material.

After countless years of research, the Divine Blood Race has pushed their own bodies and bloodlines to a terrifying level. Their bloodline, physique, and Life Essence have all been refined again and again through extreme methods. Because of this, their race is no longer normal by any standard. They are born with power that other races can only dream of after decades or even centuries of cultivation.

Each newborn of the Divine Blood Race already possesses the strength of a Saint Foundation Stage warrior. For humans and most other races, reaching the Saint Foundation Stage requires long training, great talent, and rare resources. Yet for the Divine Blood Race, this level is merely their starting point. From the moment they open their eyes, their bodies are already strong, their blood is already powerful, and their Life Essence is already complete.

Their bloodline is extremely pure and violent in energy. It carries an immense amount of life force and cultivation potential. Their physiques are naturally strong and resistant, able to endure power that would destroy the bodies of ordinary cultivators. Their Life Essence is thick and stable, giving them an incredible foundation for future growth. Because of this, their cultivation speed is frightening. Every stage they advance through is faster and more stable than that of other races.

It is also said that even a single drop of blood from a Divine Blood Race member is a priceless treasure. That drop contains condensed bloodline power, Life Essence, and refined energy. It can strengthen physiques, repair damaged foundations, and even raise cultivation levels.

For cultivators, it is no different from a supreme divine material. Even Immortals would be tempted by such blood, because it can help them refine their bodies or enhance their own bloodline.

Perhaps this is the reason why a member of the Divine Blood Race "eats" their own kin if they see necessary.

Normally, finding even their trace is almost impossible. It is said that their entire race lives in an alternate dimension hidden somewhere inside the Dark Blood Galaxy.

Talking about the Dark Blood Galaxy, it is one of the most terrifying galaxies in the universe.

It is said that a terrible battle was fought between Immortals and Abyssals in ancient times, and the location was the Dark Blood Galaxy. That battle was so horrifying that not a single creature was left alive after the war ended.

Due to that war, the space of the Dark Blood Galaxy is filled with dense blood energy and a chaotic aura that can easily corrode ordinary cultivators.

Countless races avoid it because survival there is very difficult, let alone exploration. That war had shattered the galaxy's connection with the Universe itself, causing laws to break.

The Dark Blood Galaxy is the only galaxy where strange laws exist. This is also where many areas distort space, perception, and even life force.

For most races, entering that galaxy is no different from walking into a dead land. Yet, for the Divine Blood Race, it is the perfect environment.

The blood aura of the Dark Blood Galaxy nourishes their bodies, strengthens their bloodlines, and supports their cultivation. That is why they chose it as their hiding place and built their alternate dimension there, making it nearly impossible for outsiders to find or invade.

Rumors even say that the Divine Blood Race is actually the "product" of that war.

No such race existed before that ancient war, but just a few million years after the war ended, the Universe faced its first crisis created by the Divine Blood Race.

Alex knew most of the information about the Divine Blood Race because it is one of the three races that are enemies of the entire universe.
