The reason why the Undying Blood Race had a killing spree was to seize blood, as long as they were able to suck in enough blood, their cultivation would be able to rise rapidly.
Among them, the blood of the human race was the most attractive to them, without the need for refining, it could be directly absorbed by the body and transformed into cultivation and strength.
Absorbing the blood of savage beasts, although it was also of great benefit to them, it required a great deal of time to refine, and was comparatively much more troublesome.
If they were able to absorb the holy blood of a human saint every day, the Immortal Blood Race’s cultivation speed would be enough to make the pride of the human race despair.
In the Northern Domain, every time the Undying Blood Race captured a place, they would gather the corpses of the humans they had decapitated, separating out their blood and building a blood pool.
Only the Immortal Blood Clan cultivators who had killed the most enemies and received the most credit in battles were qualified to go to the edge of the blood pool to cultivate and improve their cultivation.
The blood pool at the bottom of the valley wasn’t too big, and it certainly wasn’t small, it was considered medium.
Almost all of the Immortal Blood Race that gathered at the edge of the blood pool were Half-Saints, as many as sixty to seventy of them.
“Killing so many humans, damn it.”
Huang Yichen looked at the dried human corpses in the valley, a cold light appeared in his eyes as he took out his holy sword, wanting to rush up and behead those Undying Blood Race Half-Saints by the blood pool.
“Don’t be impulsive.”
Zhang Ruochen stopped Huang Yichen and added, “We’re new to the Northern Domain and haven’t figured out the situation here yet, so don’t act rashly. Once we kill them, it will definitely attract the attention of the Immortal Blood Clan, which will not be beneficial to us.”
“Could it be that we just let them go?”Huang Yichen said in a deep voice.
“It’s not too late to make a move after first finding out our exact location and the battle situation in the Northern Domain.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t have a favourable feeling towards the Immortal Blood Race either, and the anger in his heart was even more furious, yet he was calmer than Huang Yichen, and was very clear on how to do what he should and shouldn’t do.
Qing Mo said in a low voice, “Your Highness, Sheriff Lord, we came to the Northern Region to look for that Saint Master of the Dan Dao from the Immortal Opportunity Valley, and to heal the injuries on Sir Zhang’s body, that’s the most important thing.”
Hearing this, Huang Yichen finally calmed down.
This valley, although there were dozens of Immortal Blood Race’s Half-Saints gathered there, which seemed dangerous, it was actually safer instead, and no one would expect that there were even humans hiding inside.
Huang Yichen left the valley alone and went to spy, while Qing Mo stayed behind to protect Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo built a cave inside the densely packed dry corpses as a temporary hiding place.
Qing Mo guarded the entrance of the cave, while Zhang Ruochen sat down on his knees and took out the two sacred medicines gifted to him by Ao Yi, the Broken Golden Lotus and the Silver Thread Sacred Vine.
“Both are precious medicines for healing the meridians and sacred veins, try them out first.”
Zhang Ruochen was naturally unwilling to become an invalid and wanted to renew his three veins and set foot on the path of cultivation again. Thus, he plucked a leaf of the Broken Golden Lotus and took it into his mouth, absorbing the medicinal power contained in the sacred medicine.
As the medicinal power penetrated into his body, his body indeed regained some vitality, however, the three veins did not change at all.
Unable to renew the three veins, then, even if the physical body became vibrant now, it would soon lose out.
Zhang Ruochen sighed softly, not wanting to waste the Sacred Pill, he did not continue to take it, and put the Severed Golden Lotus and Silver Thread Sacred Vine back away.
At this stage, Zhang Ruochen was unable to cultivate his physical body and martial arts, however, he was still able to cultivate his spiritual power, and as long as he could make himself stronger, it was a way out.
While Zhang Ruochen was preparing to cultivate his spiritual power, he unexpectedly discovered that his body had become a little different from before.
One of the invisible blood veins that he had constructed using his spiritual power was unexpectedly covered in a layer of multicoloured light, filled with an indescribable spirituality.
“That’s the …… Chaotic Qi ……”
Five-coloured Chaotic Qi continuously escaped from the cracks of the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, surging into Zhang Ruochen’s tattered body and penetrating into the flesh and bones.
Chaotic Qi was a gas that was only born when the heavens and earth were first opened, containing infinite vitality that could give birth to all things in the heavens and earth, and many powerful ancient living beings were born in the midst of chaos.
Now, Zhang Ruochen’s body’s three veins were shattered, and all the meridians in his flesh had disappeared, somewhat similar to the world at the time when heaven and earth had first opened, there were no rules or veins, and everything was chaotic.
Such an environment appeared to be dead, yet it contained infinite vitality and endless variables.
“It’s unbelievable that Chaotic Qi can construct a blood vein.”
Zhang Ruochen felt as if he was seeing a bright light in the midst of darkness, and his heart was ecstatic.
The blood vein that the Chaotic Qi had condensed into was constructed according to Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual guidance, and was not stable, it was just a filament of Qi, so to make it turn into a real blood vein was obviously not an easy task.
Perhaps, only a Dan Dao Saint Master would have the ability to make a gaseous vein, turn into a real bloodline.
Zhang Ruochen was even more eager to find that Dan Dao Saint Master that the Wine Crazy Man had mentioned, if he was able to reshape the three veins with the assistance of the Chaotic Qi, he said that he would not necessarily be able to be blessed by the misfortune, and go from being a Houtian Being, to an Innate Being, and be able to go even further, both in terms of his potential and his physique.
Of course, this was only Zhang Ruochen’s most optimistic thoughts.
After all, even a Dandao Saint Master was probably not sure of helping a wasted person remake his three veins.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current mental strength, he could only build just one or two percent of the structure of the blood vein system, and to build a complete blood vein system, he would need even more powerful mental strength.
“With my current physical condition, I can only cultivate my spiritual power even before I’ve reassembled the three veins.”Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
As long as it was through contemplation and enlightenment, the strength of one’s own spiritual power would gradually become stronger. Of course, that was only the most traditional way of cultivation, and the growth rate of spiritual power was quite slow.
Zhang Ruochen had a large amount of resources at his disposal, all of which could be used to rapidly increase his spiritual power, and were not needed before the traditional way.
For example:
The “Green Dragon Divine Dew” collected from the Seven Star Divine Ling was an excellent medicine to enhance mental strength.
Another example was that Zhang Ruochen could absorb the memories and knowledge of other saints from the Saint Source he had mastered, which could also rapidly increase his mental strength.
In the end, Zhang Ruochen chose the more conservative way, by absorbing the Green Dragon Divine Dew, to enhance his spiritual strength.
While Zhang Ruochen was cultivating his spiritual power, some significant events were also happening in the outside world.
……
…………
The battle at the Sea of Yin and Yang quickly spread throughout the Kunlun Realm, and whether it was the major forces of the Human Race or beings of other races, all of them were shocked.
One of the Ten Great Divine Weapons, the Divine Dragon Sun and Moon Chaos Pagoda, had unexpectedly come out of the world, and the aura emanating from the Divine Weapons made all the holy weapons in the world that possessed a vessel spirit tremble.
Divine artefacts, in the world of artefacts, existed like gods.
On this day, all the living beings in the world were discussing the Divine Dragon Sun and Moon Chaos Pagoda.
“In the Sea of Yin and Yang, a divine dragon awakened, holding the Divine Dragon Sun Moon Chaos Pagoda, suppressing the Winged Dragon King, injuring the Heavenly King of the Thunder Ministry and the King of the Slaughtering End, so strong that he is a mess.”
“If he’s so powerful, why hasn’t he stepped out of the Sea of Yin and Yang and reigned over the world?”
“That powerful person in the Yin Yang Sea shouldn’t be a divine dragon. If it was a divine dragon awakening, how could the Thunder Tribe Heavenly King and the Slaughtering End King escape?”
Some people questioned, feeling that the powerful one in the Sea of Yin and Yang wasn’t too strong, or at least hadn’t ascended to the top.
He was probably afraid of the top few beings in the Kunlun Realm, such as the “Quod Emperor” of the Ancestral Dragon Mountain, the “Qi Tian Blood Emperor” of the Immortal Blood Clan, and the “Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor” of the Nine Lives Palace…….
How could these great emperors or emperors standing at the top of the Kunlun Realm not be moved by the appearance of a divine weapon?
Perhaps the world-defying powerhouse in the Sea of Yin and Yang did not yet have the strength to fight against the Quod Emperor, Qi Tian Blood Emperor, and Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor, and was worried that he would not be able to keep the Divine Dragon Sun and Moon Chaos Pagoda, and that was why he did not come out of the Sea of Yin and Yang.
Of course, there were also some cultivators who believed that the world-defying powerhouse in the Yin Yang Sea was a divine dragon, only that he had been frozen for too long and his cultivation hadn’t fully recovered yet, which was why he chose to hibernate.
When his cultivation fully recovered, in the entire Kunlun Realm, it was estimated that there would no longer be any living beings that could fight against him.
On the very next day, news came out from the Barbarian Secret Realm that another great battle had erupted in the Sea of Yin and Yang, and it was suspected that an emperor level being had broken in, wanting to seize the Divine Dragon Sun and Moon Chaos Pagoda.
The sounds of battle lasted for half a day, and the waters in the Yin Yang Sea surged violently, flooding thousands of miles of mountains and earth along the seashore.
In the end, that suspected emperor level being retreated with injuries and fled out of the Yin Yang Sea, his huge and boundless body disappearing into the barbaric wilderness.
As the divine artefacts came out, all living beings were unable to remain calm.
Five days passed in a row, and enough eight beings with huge breaths broke into the Yin Yang Sea, however, all of them returned in defeat.
“He has the advantage of geographical location and is in possession of the Divine Dragon Sun, Moon, and Chaos Pagoda, in the Yin Yang Sea, there is no living being that is a match for him.”Among the Immortal Blood Clan, such a piece of news was rumoured to have come from the mouth of the Qingtian Blood Emperor himself.
Not long ago, the Qing Tian Blood Emperor and another Blood Emperor of the Immortal Blood Clan had simultaneously intruded into the Yin Yang Sea and fought with that recently awakened Gai Shi powerhouse for an entire day, and in the end, the two Blood Emperors escaped with serious injuries.
At the same time, a Saint of the Immortal Blood Race also revealed that with the cultivation of the Qing Tian Blood Emperor, he couldn’t see through the identity of that Gai Shi powerhouse and didn’t know if he was a divine dragon or not.
The appearance of the Divine Artifacts tugged at the nerves of the topmost batch of beings in the Kunlun Realm, while the news of Zhang Ruochen having his three veins abolished by the Central Winning King also caused a huge stir in the younger generation of the Human Race.
“Didn’t Zhang Ruochen die when he was crossing the Quasi-Saint Tribulation? How could he be wasted by the Middle Winning King in the Yin Yang Sea?”Many cultivators expressed their disbelief.
“Zhang Ruochen is such a hero, how could he not be able to survive the Quasi Sacred Tribulation, that was just a means for him to escape from his golden shell. In reality, Zhang Ruochen suffered such a calamity only after he intruded into the Yin Yang Sea and, killed a large number of Immortal Blood Race’s Saint, ultimately angering the Middle Winning King.”
“Shameless, the Middle Winning King is already a hegemon who has lived for thousands of years, but he even struck out at a junior.”
Among the young cultivators of the Human Race, Zhang Ruochen’s popularity was extremely high, and many cultivators idolised him, wishing to rise as quickly as he did to slay the four directions, causing the young cultivators of the Savage Beasts and the Immortal Blood Race to tremble when they heard the name.
When they learnt that Zhang Ruochen had been invalidated by the Middle Winning King, an unknown number of people were deploring it, and an unknown number of young girls who adored him were wiping away their tears. The number one amongst the young saints of the Human Race had finally fallen, unable to become a great emperor to guard the Human Race anymore.
