True Qi flowed at a rapid pace, gushing out from his palm and injecting it into the drop of Half-Saint blood.
“Wow.”
The Half-Saint blood immediately dispersed and transformed into a one-metre long blood qi jiao snake that flew around Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, and that one Blood Qi Jiao Snake was directly sucked into his body.
“Boom!”
Entering his body, the Blood Qi Jiao Snake’s powerful Saint Force erupted out, blazing like a fire, causing Ning Xiaochuan’s five viscera and six bowels to ache and crack, and the blood in his heart and veins felt as if it was boiling.
Zhang Ruochen was prepared and took out an Ice Vein Pill, quickly taking it into his mouth.
The Ice Vein Pill transformed into an ice-cold cool air that merged into Zhang Ruochen’s body, protecting Zhang Ruochen’s five viscera, six internal organs, meridians, and blood veins.
“Tai Ming Jade Pure Heaven!”
Zhang Ruochen followed the cultivation method of the second layer of the Nine Heavenly Bright Emperor Scripture, mobilising the thirty-six meridians in his body and rapidly absorbing the blood qi and holy power contained in the Half-Saint’s blood.
Wisps of blood qi emanated from Zhang Ruochen’s body, transforming into a huge blood cocoon with a diameter of three metres, wrapping Zhang Ruochen in the centre of the cocoon.
About three days later, the Ice Vein Pill’s Cold Dan Qi was completely absorbed by Zhang Ruochen, and the fiery power in the Half-Saint’s blood erupted once more, as if it was going to burn Zhang Ruochen to ashes.
Zhang Ruochen took the second Ice Vein Pill, and a second cold stream surged into his body, once again helping Zhang Ruochen to resist the heat of the Half-Saint’s blood.
Another three days passed before Zhang Ruochen took the third Ice Vein Pill.
The blood qi and holy power of the Half-Saint’s blood was continuously absorbed by Zhang Ruochen, and every cell in his body swelled up as if it was going to burst Zhang Ruochen’s body.
Zhang Ruochen’s martial cultivation level impacted to a critical point.
“Boom!”
The Qi Lake in the centre of his brow emitted a violent rumble that shook Zhang Ruochen’s entire body.
The capacity of the Qi Lake continued to expand, like opening up an even wider world.
The true qi that was originally all set to burst Zhang Ruochen’s body was like it had found a vent and surged madly towards the Qi Lake. The uncomfortable swelling sensation disappeared and was replaced by an indescribable feeling of relief.
The capacity of the Qi Lake had expanded by a full twenty-one times.
For other martial artists, when they broke through from the Xuanji Realm Great Extreme Position to the Xuanji Realm Great Circle, the Qi Lake would only expand by ten times.
“It should be the holy power in the Half-Saint’s blood that caused the qi lake to undergo a deformation, which is why it was able to expand to a level of twenty-one times.”
Of course, the larger the Qi Lake expanded, the more difficult it would be to cultivate the True Qi in the Qi Lake to perfection.
When he broke through the realm, the amount of true qi in Zhang Ruochen’s body doubled, but it was only one tenth of the qi lake’s capacity. One still had to cultivate nine times the amount of True Qi to reach True Qi Perfection.
With the realm breakthrough, Zhang Ruochen remained seated on the ground and continued to refine the residual Saint Force and Blood Qi in his body.
Another five days passed before Zhang Ruochen transformed all the Saint Force in his body, into True Qi.
Zhang Ruochen’s hands lifted up and drew a circle, absorbing the blood cocoon wrapped around his body into his body. The blood light flickered on the surface of Zhang Ruochen’s skin before disappearing completely
“Right now, I’ve only just entered the Xuanji Realm Grand Circle, the realm is still unstable.”
With the realm breakthrough, Zhang Ruochen could clearly feel that his power had risen by a large margin, making him a little out of control.
After all, Saint Force and Blood Qi were not things that Zhang Ruochen had cultivated himself, even if they had been transformed into True Qi, they were still very difficult to manage, and he had to spend time quenching them, prompting the added True Qi to completely merge with his body.
Zhang Ruochen cultivated in the Space-Time Crystal Stone for another three months, spending the vast majority of his time every day cultivating his palm techniques, and through palm practice, he was able to stimulate all of the power of the Half-Saint blood that was latent within his body.
At the same time, it was also through palm practice that the True Qi was quenched and the realm was stabilised.
While practicing palms, Zhang Ruochen took the remaining ten drops of Half-Saint True Liquid and four Ice Vein Pills on his body one after another, completely refining them.
Every day, Zhang Ruochen had to strike thirty thousand palm seals.
Three months down the line, Zhang Ruochen’s Elephant Power Nine Stacks had been raised to a new level.
Still standing ten metres away, Zhang Ruochen lucked out with one hand, and with the naked eye one could see the true qi surging around Zhang Ruochen’s body, all of it converging towards his palm.
“Elephant Power Nine Stacks.”
Zhang Ruochen struck out four palm seals in a row, and the four palms merged into one, transforming into a palm silhouette condensed by the true qi, striking the stone wall with a breath-breaking wind sound.
“Boom!”
The stone wall and the ground shook violently, and a piece of rubble fell from above.
On the stone wall, a half-metre long huge handprint appeared, Avray sunken. The stone wall around the handprint had cracked, and countless fine broken lines appeared.
One had to know that this was a palm that Zhang Ruochen had struck through the air while standing ten metres away.
If he had directly struck the palm on top of the stone wall, he didn’t know how powerful the destructive force would have erupted?
“This is a palm with four times the power? I don’t know what level of power one would have to reach if they cultivated the Nine Stacks of Elephant Power to its grand completion and erupted into a palm with nine times the power?”
Zhang Ruochen’s heart was very excited, even if he now encountered another black underground savage beast with eight tentacles, he would still have the power to fight.
After the last three months of cultivation, Zhang Ruochen’s true qi reserves in his body reached 30% of the qi lake’s capacity. The amount of true qi, reached six times what it was before he broke through the realm.
“It’s been more than two months since I entered the Red Sky Secret Mansion, it’s time to go out and collect the Half-Saint’s Light.”
Although only more than two months had passed, Zhang Ruochen had actually been cultivating for half a year.
Zhang Ruochen travelled towards the cave where he had first fallen down, and from the bottom of the ground, he kept breaking open the sealed hole.
It took two days for Zhang Ruochen to climb out of the ground with great difficulty and reappear halfway up Ghost Mist Mountain.
Next to him was the corpse of a green-coloured giant scorpion, the blood in the corpse had already been drained, leaving only pieces of green-coloured armour.
Zhang Ruochen sucked in a breath of cool air, “After Lu Han melted the Half-Saint’s Light, he has become so terrifying that he actually sucked in the blood of even savage beasts.”
As long as Lu Han was able to absorb enough blood, her cultivation would continue to grow stronger.
If her current power was at the level of the Heavenly Extremity Realm, even if Zhang Ruochen grasped the blood of the Golden Cloud Half-Saint, it would be very difficult to take the Half-Saint’s Light away from her.
If that was the case, all of the human cultivators and savage beasts in the Red Sky Secret Mansion would probably become her blood food.
Zhang Ruochen rushed towards the bottom of the mountain in a hurry, and the dried up corpses of the savage beasts could be seen along the way, all of them having been drained of their blood and died.
“She must be called as soon as possible, we can’t let her grow.”
Zhang Ruochen exerted his fastest speed and rushed out of the Ghost Mist Mountain.
Zhang Ruochen followed the blood trail left behind by Lu Han when she left, and travelled onwards, searching for her.
Having reached the Great Perfection of the Xuan Extremity Realm, Zhang Ruochen’s fastest speed reached seventy-five metres per second, which already surpassed the one powerhouse who was currently number one on the Xuan Ranking. At the same time, his fastest speed also surpassed Zhang Tiangui’s speed at the Xuan Extremity Realm Great Circle.
The main thing was that he still had a lot of room for improvement, and could completely go for the Supreme Extreme Realm of the Xuan Extremity Realm.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen’s ears flicked as he heard the sound of a fight, the sound coming from a grotto.
“Could it be Lu Han?”
Zhang Ruochen immediately became cautious and took out a drop of Half-Saint Blood Qi, wrapped it in his True Qi, pinched it in the palm of his hand, and approached towards that one grotto.
In the grotto.
Zixi was wearing a white martial arts robe, her skin as snow white as jade, her hair as black as a waterfall, her figure as slender as a willow branch, and her pair of slender, tall, long legs stepped on footsteps and moved quickly.
“Poof!”
The fish gut sword in her sleeve in her hand pierced through the heart of an old man with a dried out body, then quickly backed up and hid in the corner of the grotto.
Zixi’s pair of beautiful eyes stared tightly at the three old men who were still still surrounding the grotto’s main door, not blinking an eye.
In the grotto, there were already four corpses lying in the grotto, all of them were killed by her, some were stabbed through the heart, some were stabbed through the eyebrows, and some had their necks cut.
Zixi was also heavily injured, with blood hanging from the corner of her mouth. The robe on her back was shattered by a palm imprint, revealing a large area of snow-white and delicate jade skin.
Only, there was a blood-red palm print on the snow-white skin, and grains of blood beads overflowed from the palm print, completely colouring her back red.
If it wasn’t for the seven Evil Men who wanted to capture her alive, I’m afraid that she would have been more than simply injured.
Of the seven evil men, four had already died, and the remaining three were all Earth Extreme Realm martial arts experts.
“Stinking b*tch, actually killed four of us in a row, if you were captured by me, I would have to ravage you to death.” A middle-aged man with scars on the corners of his eyes said in a cold voice.
His arms were twice as thick as those of an ordinary man, bronze in colour, and full of explosive power as he walked towards Zixi, saying, “Hand over that piece of eighth-rank True Martial Treasure Weapon, and this seat can spare you from death.”
Zixi crossed her sword in front of her body, enduring the pain in her back, the three Earth Extremity Realm Martial Dao experts in front of her were like three huge mountains blocking her body, making her feel a little desperate.
Escaping under the siege of three Earth Extreme Realm martial arts experts?
That was something impossible.
If there was really no hope of escaping in the end, she would choose to bite the poison pill in her mouth at the first opportunity.
Definitely not to be captured alive by them, otherwise, her end would be even more miserable than death.
Zixi’s eyes carried a cold light as she said, “Tu Yun, I’m a member of the Hellmouth Sect, if you dare to rob the treasures I found, aren’t you afraid of the Hellmouth Sect’s retaliation?”
That one middle-aged man with scars hanging from the corners of his eyes was named Tu Yun, and was also a fierce man in the black market.
Ten years ago, Tu Yun had massacred hundreds of people in the Fire Dragon County Kingdom and destroyed seven properties of the Martial City Money Bank, and was later captured by an Inner Palace disciple of the Martial City Academy Palace and imprisoned in the Red Sky Mysterious Mansion’s Inferno River Purgatory.
Not long ago, a black market member who lurked amongst the students of the Martial City Academy Palace had opened the seal of the Yan River Purgatory, releasing all of those evil and ferocious people in the black market.
The other two people with Tu Yun were called Huo Gang and Chen Li Dao.
Tu Yun’s cultivation reached the middle stage of the Earthly Extreme Realm, while Huo Gang and Chen Li Dao were at the early stage of the Earthly Extreme Realm.
Chen Li Dao sneered and said, ”If you say you’re an assassin from the Earthly Sect, we’ll believe you? We only know that you are wearing the robes of the Martial City Academy Palace, so you are a student of the Martial City Academy Palace.”
The corner of Huo Gang’s mouth hooked up in a lewd manner. Evilly, he laughed, “Seeing that one piece of clothing on her body makes me very upset, I wonder what the sight will be underneath stripping the clothes off? Hehehe!”
Tu Yun nodded and laughed, “Old me has been locked up in the Inferno River Purgatory for ten years, and I haven’t touched a woman in ten years, I didn’t expect that just after escaping, I would come across such a beautiful and stunning beauty. Even if she is the daughter of the Dungeon Sect Master, Laozi will still play with her today, the big deal is that after we play with her, we will kill her with a knife, who knows that it was us who did it?”
“Since big brother has given his word, let me personally capture this beauty. I’d like to see just how much weight is inside her robes? Haha!” Huo Gang stared at Zixi’s slightly shrugged double. Peaks, his eyes narrowing into a thin slit.
