Cultivators of the Fish Dragon Realm had to borrow divine power through sacrifices before they could refine a drop of divine blood.
Half Saints were different, their physique, already very powerful. If they grasped a drop of divine blood, they could completely rely on their powerful cultivation to refine the divine blood into their bodies.
Although it was said that a half-saint refining a drop of divine blood was not as useful as a Fish Dragon Realm cultivator refining a drop of divine blood, however, it was divine blood after all, and it had endless benefits for half-saints as well.
Under normal circumstances, if a Galactic Yuan Master had a drop of divine blood, he would definitely, in the first instance, refine it, and there was no way he would just carry it on his body and not use it.
It was for this reason that Zhang Ruochen was so surprised to find a drop of divine Blood from his body.
“There are only two explanations. First, Gala Yuan had just obtained the Divine Blood and hadn’t had time to refine it yet.”
“Second, by carrying a drop of divine blood on his body, Galo Yuan must have had some other purpose, perhaps, something to do with the evil monks of the Deadly Zen Sect entering the netherworld on a large scale.”
To confirm which speculation it was, was, in fact, rather simple.
As long as one more Evil Monk of the Dead Zen Sect was captured and the divine blood was searched out on his body as well, one would also be able to prove that it was the second scenario.
Zhang Ruochen held the Divine Blood in his hand, the corner of his mouth hooked up as he smiled and said, “Divine Blood is an unattainable treasure, if I refine it, I will have refined a total of five drops of Divine Blood, and my own cultivation will definitely rise quite a bit again.”
Putting the divine blood away, Zhang Ruochen then extracted a ball of Semi-Sacred Buddha Light from Garo Yuan’s body and sealed it inside a jade box.
From Gala Yuan’s body, Zhang Ruochen also searched out three Sacred Stones, seven vials of pills, and the cultivation secrets of the Thousand Ghosts Prajna Palm and the Deadly Zen Buddhist Dharma, and all of them were put away in the spatial ring.
The string of Buddha beads around Garo Yuan’s neck was a powerful Buddhist artefact.
At this moment, that string of Buddha beads had already turned into golden droplets that merged into the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword.
“Swish!”
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword flew back again, tip down, suspended in Zhang Ruochen’s palm.
Its power, again, had increased by quite a bit.
“Trying to raise the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, to the level of a Thousand Stripes Saint Artifact is really too difficult.”
Zhang Ruochen grabbed the hilt of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and waved his arm, and then, on the body of the sword, an ebony-black glow emanated.
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword had absorbed and refined a large number of True Martial Treasures and Sacred Artifacts, yet it was still a Hundred Stripes Sacred Artifact.
Only, it was powerful enough to be ranked in the Hundred Lines Sacred Artifact Spectrum, and the power that erupted from it was directly after that of a Thousand Lines Sacred Artifact.
At this stage, the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword might not be as good as the Heavenly Sword, and it was far from being comparable to the Void Sword, but it was the most suitable sword for Zhang Ruochen, and it was already connected with him by heart and blood.
Using the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, Zhang Ruochen could bring his sword Dao to its most perfect state.
“I will grow with you, and one day, you will become a Thousand Stripe Saint Weapon, or even, more powerful than the Void Sword.”Zhang Ruochen’s hand gently stroked the body of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword.
As if the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword was able to sense Zhang Ruochen’s emotions, it unexpectedly trembled gently and emitted a cheerful sword chime.
Cold Snow transformed into a petite figure, carrying the Void Sword on her back, and swept over to Zhang Ruochen, saying rather joyfully, “Master, Sister Mu, Little Black, and I, together with our joint efforts, have already repelled the three Irregulars.”
Zhang Ruochen had been paying attention, to the entire battle situation, and thus, did not feel surprised, but still complimented, saying, “To actually be able to repel three Impermanents at the same time, your strength, has impressed Master.”
Mu Lingshi said, “Actually, it’s nothing remarkable, it was entirely by borrowing the power of the Void Sword that I was able to have such a remarkable battle. Without the Void Sword, the power of the three Irregulars is simply not something we can resist.”
Mu Lingshi’s body was drenched in fragrant sweat, and the Saint Qi in her body, was almost exhausted.
That battle just now, obviously, wasn’t easy.
Xiao Hei, however, was holding a bellyful of fire, digging the Divine Demon Mouse out from the ground and lifting its tail, causing the Divine Demon Mouse to hang upside down in mid-air.
“Speak! Earlier when this Emperor fought with the three Irregulars, why didn’t you make a move?”
The Divine Demon Mouse stumbled and said, “The three Impermanents are not a match for you, Master Cat, and there was no need for me to make a move to help. Master Cat, don’t you think so?”
“Is that right? Why does this Emperor feel that you are in arrears?”
Little Black stretched out a claw and slapped it on the Divine Demon Mouse’s head, his pair of round eyes revealing a ferocious light, with an intention to eat the Divine Demon Mouse.
Earlier when the three Impermanence launched their attack, the Divine Demon Mouse did not make a move from the beginning to the end, but stood aside to watch the show.
Obviously, the Divine Demon Mouse wanted to use the hands of the three Impermanence to get rid of Xiao Hei and Zhang Ruochen and the others.
It was a pity that he hadn’t anticipated that Cold Snow had actually grasped a Supreme Saint Artifact Grade Void Sword, which repelled the three Irregulars as well, causing his plan to fall through.
How could Little Black not see through this?
“Master Cat, I won’t dare next time.”
“I can swear to the heavens, to Master Cat, I absolutely don’t dare to have second thoughts …… Help ……”
In the tomb forest, the heartbreaking screams of the God Demon Mouse rang out, wanting to escape, but unable to escape, wanting to resist, but being suppressed by Little Black.
Any of the God Demon Mouse’s stunts, when used on Xiao Hei’s body, all of them were useless.
On the contrary, every time Little Black struck out, yet it always pierced through his weak points and beat him to death.
Zhang Ruochen just gently shook his head and sighed in his heart, “The sinister, vicious, and ruthless Shou Rou actually had a time when he begged for forgiveness, it’s really amazing.”
At the very least, with only Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation, it was not an easy task to defeat a Divine Demon Rat of the Half Saint realm.
Who would have thought that such a powerful being, when it met Little Black, would be chased and beaten as if it had turned into a child with no power to fight back.
Using his Heavenly Eyes, Zhang Ruochen once again looked in the direction of the Blood Lake and said, ”The Impermanence of the Netherworld and the Evil Monk of the Deadly Zen Sect definitely won’t let this go. Let’s enter the Scroll World first to hide for a few days and get out of the wind before we come out again.”
The Heart Art Buddhist Master and the Beautiful Ghost King were both Saint realm existences, and by the time they split the victory and lost and freed up their hands, it would surely be Zhang Ruochen and the others’ time to die.
Moreover, apart from the two of them, Hao Chuan Wu Chang was also a top level powerhouse, not something that Zhang Ruochen and the others, were able to fight against right now.
In the netherworld, being cautious would not be a bad thing.
Arriving at the Scroll World, Mu Lingshi sat on the underside of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood and began to absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to recover the consumed Holy Qi.
Xiao Hei, on the other hand, was studying the Deadly Zen Buddhist Dharma, wanting to manipulate the thirty-four Half-Saint corpses left behind by Gala Yuan. Obviously, the power that Garo Yuan exerted by absorbing the corpse qi of the thirty-four Half-Saint corpse skeletons was really quite coveted by it.
Cold Snow, however, was refining the Sacred Source of the Xuan Gui Sword Saint and working hard to raise her cultivation, wanting to break through to the Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation as soon as possible.
Zhang Ruochen was the only one who did not immediately cultivate, but was instead studying the Sun Moon Crystal Coffin.
The Sun and Moon Crystal Coffin, which was nine feet long, was cast from an unknown material, and its body was crystal clear, emitting an icy cold aura that caused the ground in a radius of tens of feet to condense a layer of white frost.
On the front of the crystal coffin, there was a crescent-shaped mark.
At the bottom of the crystal coffin, there was a sun seal.
To one’s surprise, the crescent moon seal and the sun seal were slowly absorbing the wood attribute aura emanating from the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood and infusing it inside the coffin.
“What a miraculous treasure, no wonder existences of the level of the Mindfulness Buddhist Master and the Beautiful Ghost King would fight because of it.”
Zhang Ruochen tried various methods and was unable to open the Sun Moon Crystal Coffin. Even using the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and slashing with all his might, he failed to leave a sword mark on top of the coffin.
“Since it can’t be opened, then for the time being, leave it here.”
In Zhang Ruochen’s heart, he was very curious as to what kind of changes would happen when it had absorbed enough wood attribute aura.
Everyone was working hard to cultivate and improve their strength, so naturally, Zhang Ruochen would not be idle.
He took out the divine blood and cupped it in the palms of his hands, unsealing the seals on the surface of the divine blood and began to refine it.
Other Fish Dragon Realm cultivators had to borrow the power of a deity in order to refine the divine blood.
However, Zhang Ruochen did not need to borrow the power of the deity to refine the divine blood. This was because, other Fish Dragon Realm cultivators refined the divine blood into a Divine Seal. Zhang Ruochen, however, mobilised the Seal of the Gods and absorbed the divine blood.
After about half an hour, Zhang Ruochen refined that drop of divine blood, completely.
The imprints of the Gods in the Qi Sea became clearer, taking on various different forms. Each of the imprints exuded a powerful divine force, causing Zhang Ruochen’s Qi Sea to become even more solid.
“If I can control the divine power contained in the Seals of the Gods, I don’t know how powerful I can explode?”
Zhang Ruochen’s meridians and Sacred Veins were simply unable to withstand divine power, thus, with his current cultivation level, he would not be able to use the power of the Seal of the Gods.
Perhaps, only when his cultivation became stronger and his physical body more powerful in the future would he be able to transform the Seal of the Gods into a substantial means of attack.
Of course, even so, Zhang Ruochen had refined the fifth drop of divine blood, and his strength had increased quite a bit.
“Right now, my cultivation level is only at the early stage of the Ninth Transformation of the Fish Dragon, there is still a lot of room for improvement. It’s just right that I can take this opportunity to raise my cultivation level some more.”
Zhang Ruochen’s finger, scratching above the spatial ring, took out a faceplate-sized Jiao Bead, used Saint Qi to wrap it, and held it up three feet above his head.
In the jiao bead, it contained a strong and incomparable aura that emitted blazing energy, causing the surface of the jiao bead to burn with a blazing flame, transforming into a huge fireball.
“Puffing!”
The heat emitted from the Jiao Bead forced back some of the cold air emitted from the Sun and Moon Crystal Coffin, causing the frost on the ground to melt into liquid droplets.
This Jiao Bead was a treasure that Zhang Ruochen had dug out from the body of the Ursus Skeleton Jiao King when he had beheaded it in the Market Realm Battlefield.
