True Blood Profundity

The flames soared into the sky, burning through the Void the Great. It was a terrifying place, like an Eternal Ancient Star, inextinguishable furnace suppressing all evil in the world.

In the end, the Power of Faith that Zhou Tong had drawn upon burned out completely, and the flames went out. Like a diamond in a field, Zhou Tong's entire body was charred black, but a part of his flesh was glowing, brilliant and dazzling, like an immortal lamp.

He shook violently, and the charred flesh and ashes fell away, his withered body regained its vitality, and Zi Xia flowed around his entire body, reshaping it.

Zhou Tong carefully sensed that his strength had increased slightly compared to before. During the recovery process, Zhou Tong clearly saw one or two ancient symbols glowing within his flesh and blood.

"Is this the power hidden in the bloodline? Is it also the origin of the human bloodline?" Zhou Tong looked at the wisps of light in his blood and the almost invisible symbols, and vaguely understood something in his heart.

"The life imprint in the blood, the most primitive symbols..." Zhou Tong looked closely and immediately noticed that one or two of the symbols seemed to be similar to the runes of the Ten Fiends Nine-Leaf Sword Grass and the Ten Fiends Nine Netherworld Howler.

"Could it be that during my cultivation in the Blood Movement Realm, I imprinted the mark of the Ten Fiends into my body, which is why my bloodline analysis reveals this?" Zhou Tong had countless doubts in his mind.

The Quasi-Emperor level is a closely guarded secret. Even Zhou Tong only vaguely sensed some things from the experience of his predecessors before he began to further cultivate and refine himself.

"Unearthing the great secrets within the bloodline is one of the keys to becoming Quasi-Emperor. It's a pity that this time, even with the Karma Fire body tempering, I only saw one or two runes." Zhou Tong silently pondered these two runes.

Suddenly he moved. He slowly raised his palm, and between his fingers, countless divine powers condensed, eventually transforming into a chain. Half of it was purple and the other half was bright red, intertwined together, like Order Divine Chains.

The divine chain appeared illusory at first, but soon runes filled it in, constructing the chain and making it more real and cohesive.

"Splash!"

Zhou Tong's palm trembled slightly, and the sound of the divine chain was indeed heard. Divine power and runes condensed and joined together, forming a real chain with a strange magic.

"What a powerful Order Divine Chains! This is only the result of analyzing a tiny bit of the blood's secrets, yet it has yielded such a method." Zhou Tong pondered carefully, his heart filled with increasing joy. The more he pondered, the more he felt that it contained unimaginable mysteries.

"I'll meditate for a while first. Once I've grasped it enough, I'll ignite the Karma Fire again! If I can't break through to Quasi-Emperor using ordinary methods, I'll use the most extreme method to burn it out!!" Zhou Tong meditated silently.

Time flies, and twenty years have passed in a flash. During this time, the entire Divine Domain was peaceful, with no rebels and a thriving Divine Domain.

Neither Ji Zi nor Dao Yi, whom they had met before, had any trace of them; moreover, no outsiders had come here in recent years.

Within the Divine Domain, the number of races is unimaginable, but the Divine Domain is both a celestial land and a prison. These cultivators, trapped in the Power of Faith, have no way of leaving this place.

Over the course of twenty years, Zhou Tong would periodically activate the Power of Faith to transform into Karma Fire, tempering his physical body and primordial spirit. Originally, only 50% of the blood in his body had been transformed into crimson Azure Heaven True Blood, but with these twenty years of tempering, the Azure Heaven True Blood in his body had reached nearly 60%.

His primordial spirit, tempered by the Karma Fire, grew stronger day by day, becoming crystal clear, like the purest crystal, containing unparalleled power.

In particular, over the past twenty years, the scriptures of the Immortal Platform Secret Realm have been created and are almost perfected.

Thus, the Five Great Secret Realms were completely connected over the course of twenty years.

Meanwhile, in addition to his cultivation, Zhou Tong would spend some time each year traveling to the Divine Domain to see the different scenery and great paths, further broadening his horizons and enriching his own Dao and Dharma.

"After twenty years of arduous cultivation, Quasi-Emperor, my primordial Divine Crystal, and I have also mastered the Red Dust Heart-Refining Method, successfully activating the profound meaning of the Immortal Tear Green Gold... However, such cultivation is extremely taxing."

"The Power of Faith in this Divine Domain has almost burned away most of my strength. With my cultivation method, I can only hold on for another ten years at most before the Power of Faith here is completely burned out." Zhou Tong opened his eyes, sat cross-legged on the altar, and looked at the low mountain not far away.

The once sacred hill has now lost much of its radiance. The vast, boundless, ocean-like golden Power of Faith has been reduced to a mere fraction, and even its color has faded from gold to silver. This is the result of a significant decrease in the Power of Faith and a drop in its concentration.

At the same time, Zhou Tong also looked at the Lingbao Array Diagram not far away, and a sense of joy arose in his heart.

"As expected, the Lingbao Array Diagram can only remain 'alive' by relying on the Power of Faith from the Divine Domain. Now that I've consumed that Power of Faith like this, the Array Diagram's vitality is much weaker than before. Moreover, over the years, I've also been Reversed Soldier Character Secret, constantly nurturing the weapon spirit with the essence of weapons. In a few years, this Array Diagram will be mine..."

"It doesn't matter how much Power of Faith from the Divine Domain is consumed. Now, let's make a final gamble and become an Emperor in our physical body!" Zhou Tong adjusted his state slightly, entered the Divine Forbidden Zone, and then released the remaining Power of Faith the Divine Domain little by little in one go, igniting it into endless Karma Fire.

He no longer intended to temper himself slowly, but instead used the most extreme method to temper a Quasi-Emperor's body.

"Boom!!"

Endless Karma Fire, countless strands; dazzling silver light, millions of rays.

The Power of Faith accumulated over many years in the Divine Domain was released in full force, converging into Karma Fire, which fell on Zhou Tong and transformed into the most dazzling divine light, illuminating the entire Divine Domain.

The entire Divine Domain was awestruck by the divine might he exuded during his cultivation. Some cultivators with lower levels of cultivation were filled with fear and prayed and worshipped him daily, which only added to the power of the Karma Fire.

Zhou Tong sat cross-legged on the altar, receiving the baptism of billions of Karma Fire, while he himself underwent an indescribable transformation.

Zhou Tong's body was enveloped in Karma Fire, sometimes transforming into Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, sometimes into True Dragon, and sometimes into Immortal Phoenix and Kirin. His body was constantly changing, and one after another, the Ten Fiends evolved from his body, ferocious and ruthless, fighting against heaven and earth.

Within his body, the Order Divine Chains trembled and rattled, reviving.

One could vaguely see that there were ten kinds of runes and Order Divine Chains within his body, among which the runes and Order Divine Chains of Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, True Dragon, Immortal Phoenix, Kirin, Kunpeng, Thunder Emperor, Gu, Sky Horn Ant, and Nine Netherworld Howler were extremely clear.

The last type of rune and the Order Divine Chains — the God-Striking Stone —was somewhat dim and lackluster.
