Nature and Mechanics

Blood Souls are Li Fei's life force as quantified by the Myriad Blood Bead. If all Blood Souls are depleted, he dies; as long as some remain, even otherwise fatal injuries do not kill him immediately. 2

The Myriad Blood Bead transfers nearly 99% of direct bodily damage onto Blood Souls, leaving Li Fei's visible injuries far lighter than they should be. It absorbs energy from his body and from damage he suffers, using that energy to level up, expand his Blood Soul capacity, and unlock or enhance abilities. 2 5

• Blood Soul recovery is tied to the total amount of Blood Souls rather than solely to the Myriad Blood Bead's level; its standard recovery rate is 10% of maximum capacity per day. 63 616
• Higher-quality energy produces greater progress for the Myriad Blood Bead; jingli provides more energy than Innate One Qi despite both being capable of depleting one Blood Soul. 155
• Damage directly caused by activating Blood Soul Skills is not shared by the Myriad Blood Bead. Overusing a skill beyond Li Fei's physical endurance can therefore injure him internally. 35 195
• Blood Souls can serve as refining material for Li Fei's Flying Sword Body. They are more compatible with him than metal ores and introduce no impurities. 468

Abilities & Skills

Damage Transfer

The Myriad Blood Bead redirects the overwhelming majority of direct damage received by Li Fei into Blood Soul consumption.

• Nearly 99% of direct injury is transferred, allowing Li Fei to endure poison, extreme cold, physical impacts, and attacks that would incapacitate ordinary Martial Warriors. 5 400
• Continuous damage remains dangerous when it outpaces recovery, particularly within Martial Dao Domains or against sustained Mystical Powers. 498
• This damage-transfer effect becomes the seventh Mystical Power of the Myriad Blood clone after the Myriad Blood Dao Principle is completed. 713

Blood Rage

Blood Rage consumes Blood Souls to enhance Li Fei's physical strength.

• It initially requires at least 1 Blood Soul and lasts for one minute; spending more Blood Souls produces a greater increase in strength. 24
• In Blood Demon State, its effective power is amplified: spending 1 Blood Soul is equivalent to spending 2 in a normal state. 104
• Its initial enhancement would extend its duration from one minute to three minutes; its later Extreme form can maintain power for ten minutes. 201 713
• Once crystallized, Blood Rage can be powered by Heaven and Earth Essence Qi rather than directly consuming Blood Souls. 585

Blood Fiend

Blood Fiend converts Blood Souls into Blood Fiend Qi, also rendered as Bloodbaleful Qi in several status displays. 60 74 137

• The Qi manifests as a cold, bloody-red aura that Li Fei can direct freely through his body and attacks. 60
• Greater Blood Soul expenditure increases the Qi's refinement and lethality, but causes it to dissipate faster. Qi created from 1 Blood Soul lasts roughly a dozen hours, while Qi created from 2 lasts seven to eight hours. 63
• It has a special killing effect against living things, but is far less effective against objects, energy, or tissue that has already lost vitality. 60 255
• At Extreme strength, its intensity scales with Blood Soul expenditure up to 10% of Li Fei's maximum total outside Blood Demon Extreme State. 443
• Its Blood Crystal allows Li Fei to create and stockpile Blood Fiend Aura through Heaven and Earth Essence Qi without consuming Blood Souls. 546 585

Blood Might

Blood Might launches a mental shock against a designated target.

• Its power scales with Blood Soul expenditure and initially has a maximum expenditure of 10% of Li Fei's total Blood Soul capacity. 120 127
• It can instantly overwhelm opponents whose mental strength is insufficient, even if their cultivation realm is otherwise formidable. 127
• After enhancement, Blood Might can strike ten targets at once; Li Fei's self-created Blood Might God applies the same multi-target principle. 400
• Its Blood Crystal allows it to use Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. This enables techniques such as Blood Might Seven Kills — Moon Phase, which can affect Peak Experts. 577 585

Blood Spring

Blood Spring forms an internal reserve that stores Blood Souls separately from the Myriad Blood Bead.

• At its initial form, Li Fei can deposit up to 1% of his maximum Blood Soul total per 24 hours and withdraw the stored amount when needed. 156
• The first enhancement increases the deposit rate to 2% per day. 201
• At Extreme strength, it stores 3% of Li Fei's maximum Blood Souls daily, with a maximum reserve of 3,000 Blood Souls. 435 616
• Blood Spring becomes a vital reserve during long battles, allowing Li Fei to continue fighting after the Myriad Blood Bead's active supply is depleted. 400 498

Blood Breath

Blood Breath is a passive recovery skill that restores Blood Souls in combat.

• It initially activates below 30% of maximum Blood Souls and restores 5% of maximum capacity per minute until the total returns to 30%. 327
• Its first and second enhancements raise the activation threshold to below 40% and then below 50%, respectively, while retaining the 5%-per-minute recovery rate. 337 384
• After condensing into a Blood Crystal, it no longer requires a threshold; it can be activated at will, and its recovery rate increases as Li Fei's remaining Blood Souls decrease. 648 650
• At extremely low reserves, it can restore more than 1,300 Blood Souls per minute by absorbing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi from the void. 650

Blood Demon

Blood Demon is Li Fei's Transformation Skill, which amplifies his Blood Soul-based combat abilities.

• In Blood Demon State, all Blood Soul Skills are greatly strengthened, his damage tolerance rises, and the limits of Blood Rage and Blood Fiend improve. 104
• Maintaining the early form consumes 5 Blood Souls per minute. 177
• The first strengthening allows Li Fei to enter Blood Demon State at any time rather than waiting for his Blood Soul reserve to fall. 476
• Blood Demon Extreme State becomes available below 30% total Blood Souls, costs 100 Blood Souls per minute, and removes the usual limits on Blood Rage, Blood Fiend, and Blood Might. 476
• At Level 100, Blood Demon crystallizes, allowing Li Fei to enter Blood Demon Extreme State at any time; all Blood Soul Skills double in power and lose their restrictions. 691

Blood Crystals and Dao Principle

Blood Crystals are the ultimate evolution of Blood Soul Skills. They allow their corresponding skills to operate through Li Fei's own power or Heaven and Earth Essence Qi instead of consuming Blood Souls. 540 546 577

• The Blood Crystals correspond to Blood Rage, Blood Fiend, Blood Might, Blood Spring, Blood Breath, and Blood Demon. 691
• Each Blood Crystal is a fragment of a Dao Principle. 691
• After reaching Level 100, the Myriad Blood Bead cannot advance further. Li Fei spends seven years unsuccessfully attempting to fuse the six Blood Crystals into a complete Dao Principle. 691
• In the finale, Li Fei uses his Authority in the Land of Origin to fully condense them into the Dao Principle Myriad Blood. This Dao Principle manifests as a clone carrying the six former Blood Soul Skills as Mystical Powers, plus damage transfer as a seventh. 713
