Blood Condensing Heavenly Gang Art

[Although this condensed mass of qi and blood was as small as a needlepoint, to you, it was like the first light before dawn.]

[In the fifteenth year, the vortex of qi and blood finally took shape. The power of qi and blood constantly seeped from your body, and you finally reached the Blood Condensation Realm.]

[At this point, the "Ancient Desolation Body Tempering Technique" successfully broke through, and a new cultivation technique, the "Blood Condensing Heavenly Gang Art," was comprehended.]

[This technique could merge the power of qi and blood from the Blood Condensation Realm with Heavenly Gang energy more perfectly, unleashing strength far beyond that of ordinary Blood Condensation Realm experts.]

Qin Bo felt the surging power of qi and blood within him, and a wave of wild joy surged through his heart.

At this moment, not only was his physical constitution far stronger than before, he also possessed the power of qi and blood capable of resisting the eerie.

Qin Bo picked up the Bloodthirsty Blade beside him and circulated his power of qi and blood. In an instant, a layer of red energy covered the blade.

The Bloodthirsty Blade seemed to sense Qin Bo's powerful qi and blood at that moment.

It actually began to tremble slightly, emitting a deep hum, as if roaring in excitement.

"The Blood Condensation Realm. I've finally reached it."

"Fifteen years. It was worth it!"

Qin Bo looked at the trembling Bloodthirsty Blade in his hand, his eyes filled with steadfastness and resolve.

Qin Bo circulated the "Blood Condensing Heavenly Gang Art," causing the power of qi and blood and the Heavenly Gang energy to flow rapidly through his body.

He quickly adapted to this entirely new power, striving to display his strongest strength in the battle that was about to come.

As the qi and blood merged with the Heavenly Gang energy, the aura radiating from him grew increasingly sharp.

Feeling this power, Qin Bo thought for a moment, then directly put away the feather.

He allowed the fluctuations of his power of qi and blood to radiate without reservation, hoping to draw the eerie over.

He had his own plans. If he could lure over all the eerie creatures nearby, his lifespan could be replenished as well.

After all, it was rare to find so many eerie creatures in this ancient fortress. It was the perfect opportunity to replenish himself. Otherwise, relying on burning his lifespan to cultivate, once his lifespan ran out, it would have been impossible for him to improve so greatly in such a short time.

But contrary to expectations, the eerie creatures that had been hiding earlier now seemed to have vanished.

Qin Bo released the fluctuations of his qi and blood for a long while, yet the surroundings remained deathly silent, with no sign of any eerie creature appearing.

"What's going on? Did they sense the danger and dare not approach?"

Qin Bo furrowed his brows tightly, his heart filled with confusion.

At that moment, he felt a chill in his chest.

"Luo Qingyan?!"

After taking out the scroll of marriage, he heard Luo Qingyan's voice coming from within.

"Young Master Qin, once the Ghost King appears, all ghosts submit."

"That giant hand just now belonged to a Ghost King-level eerie creature. The other eerie creatures no longer dare to come out."

"What?! A Ghost King?"

Qin Bo was greatly shocked. He had never expected to encounter a Ghost King-level eerie creature—and one that had severely wounded him with a single strike.

What was even more depressing was that—

Because of this Ghost King, the other eerie creatures no longer dared to appear either, so his plan to collect lifespan had gone up in smoke.

"Forget it. I'd better go take a look at the suppressed seal first!"

"It was already able to extend one hand out. Perhaps the seal is about to fail as well."

Qin Bo pondered inwardly, dragging his slightly staggering steps as he once again headed toward the depths of the fortress.

The farther down he went, the deeper underground he seemed to descend. The surroundings had already turned pitch-black, so dark that he could not see his hand in front of his face.

Even when Qin Bo spoke to Luo Qingyan, she no longer dared make a sound. It seemed the Ghost King's deterrence was truly extraordinary.

Fortunately, Qin Bo had broken through to the Blood Condensation Realm and covered his eyes with the power of qi and blood.

This enhanced his vision, allowing him to see somewhat clearly even in the pitch-black environment.

Relying on the faint vision brought by his power of qi and blood, Qin Bo discovered that the surrounding walls were covered with all kinds of strange patterns.

These patterns seemed to recount an ancient story.

But the light was simply too dim, and Qin Bo could only make out some vague outlines.

Some of the patterns looked like a group of people performing some mysterious ritual, while others resembled powerful beings battling evil forces.

Qin Bo proceeded slowly along the passage, every step taken with utmost caution.

He could feel that the farther down he went, the more intense the evil aura from the Ghost King became, pressing down on him until he could scarcely breathe.

Just as Qin Bo was preparing to rest for a moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from ahead, as if something were moving rapidly through the darkness.

Qin Bo's heart tightened. He immediately gripped the Bloodthirsty Blade in his hand and quietly circulated his power of qi and blood and his Heavenly Gang energy.

As the sound drew closer and closer, Qin Bo finally saw clearly.

It turned out to be a group of eerie creatures resembling rats but as large as cats. They glared with ghostly green eyes and charged rapidly toward him.

These eerie rats were incredibly fast, reaching Qin Bo in an instant.

They opened mouths filled with sharp teeth and bit toward Qin Bo's legs.

Qin Bo hurriedly kicked several of them away while swinging the Bloodthirsty Blade. A blade ray slashed out, instantly cleaving two eerie rats in half.

However, even more eerie rats surged forward like a tide, surrounding Qin Bo completely.

While fending off the eerie rats' attacks, Qin Bo considered how to respond.

Although these eerie rats were not strong individually, they were numerous and moved with great agility, making them impossible to guard against.

Suddenly, an unknown fluctuation swept over them.

The group of rats seemed to have been startled. One after another, they scattered toward the outside.

Left with no choice, Qin Bo once again took out the feather and pinched it in his palm.

Facing the Ghost King, although it was being suppressed, he still had to be careful.

For all he knew, it could crush him to death with a single slap.

He then followed the darkness and slowly walked downward.

At the entrance to the Evil Suppressing Forest.

The Three-Eyed Divine Bird was conversing with an old man in black robe.

"What?! You're saying that kid was tricked by you into going to Hell Fortress?!"

"Weren't you the ones who asked him to come here for an assessment?"

The bird flapped its wings and cast a disdainful glance at the old man in black robe.

"I told him to come in for a look and clear out some of the eerie creatures on the outskirts. When did I tell him to enter the fortress? Don't you know there's an extremely terrifying eerie creature inside?"

The old man widened his eyes and shouted.

"I knew that. I thought you did it on purpose."

The divine bird was unconcerned and pecked at the feathers on its wing.

"It's over. That kid is a once-in-a-thousand-years genius. If he dies here just like this, it'll be a loss for my Demon Suppressing Division!!"

The Three-Eyed Divine Bird rolled its eyes at him and said, "What's the use of panicking now?"

"Nonsense! How could I not panic? No matter how formidable he is, he's still only a newcomer in the Body Tempering Realm. He probably wouldn't even be a match for a single evil spirit, let alone the many eerie creatures inside the fortress."

"Don't worry. I gave that kid a feather. It can protect his life."

"Phew, that's good."

"Good my ass. The Evil Suppressing Forest will collapse before long. This is the perfect chance to have that kid investigate the seal. The Ghost King has been growing more and more active lately."

"Sigh, truly—before one wave has settled, another rises!"
