The Wonderful Uses of Blood Crystals
Leaving the cave, Hua Qiang stretched his limbs. Hmm, he could now use the power of the Immortal King Realm.
It seems I've turned misfortune into blessing. By absorbing the Stardust Energy, I've gained some understanding of the Starry Sky Power, and the suppression of this Exile Ruins against me has been greatly weakened.
What happened?
Why do I feel like my life force is slowly flowing through my body?
Before entering this ruin, my strength was suppressed to a mortal state, and I didn't feel anything. Could it be that my strength has become too strong, attracting the attention of some mysterious being in this ruin, and then it began to plunder my life energy?
Hua Qiang's face immediately fell, and he suddenly remembered the message left by the Starry Sky Realm Ye Xiao Snack in the cave: that something deep within these ruins devours life...
Although I have only come into contact with this information, it is not hard to imagine that there must be a powerful being here who is extremely interested in creatures with powerful life energy.
It's even possible that the being survives by harvesting the life energy of the creatures that enter this place!
Hua Qiang couldn't help but feel anxious. He had finally regained his Immortal King Realm power, but now he was facing such a troublesome situation.
If his life force is continuously devoured by the other party, his strength will decrease again, and he will be reduced to a mortal again.
When will we be able to leave this awful place?
No, we must find this entity and see if we can stop its actions.
A glint of malice flashed in Hua Qiang's eyes. If possible, he would try to fight him. If he could devour him in reverse, it might be an incredible stroke of luck for him.
With a thought, Hua Qiang appeared in front of the Rat King in a flash.
Thump!
"Oh my god, Master, you appear and disappear so suddenly, you're going to scare me to death!"
"Next time you show up, could you at least say hello? My heart is pounding so hard it's about to jump out of my chest!"
The Rat King slumped to the ground, looking aggrieved.
Hua Qiang gave it a flick on the head; this rat was getting more and more mischievous.
The Rat King was not angry after being flicked on the forehead; instead, he grinned from ear to ear, as he enjoyed the feeling.
The more its owner tapped it, the more it liked it; its position in its owner's heart was still just as important!
"Master, I've obtained more than ten Blood Crystal. Please take them and use them!"
Hua Qiang accepted the Blood Crystal, his face full of approval.
This tool mouse of mine is really quite good; it gets things done with a clattering sound!
Hua Qiang exclaimed in surprise, because just the moment he received the Blood Crystal, he felt his life force slowly flowing through his body, but the speed suddenly decreased, and he could no longer feel anything at all.
Could this Blood Crystal be able to prevent that hidden being from plundering my life force?
To confirm his conjecture, he raised his hand and made some gestures in the air, setting up a small spirit -Spirit Gathering Array around his body, and then placed a Blood Crystal on the array's core.
A slight tremor in the air signaled the activation of the Spirit Gathering Array. Although there was virtually no Spiritual Qi in this Exile Ruins, the scattered Spiritual Qi particles in the air were drawn together by the Spirit Gathering Array and slowly gathered.
Because the Blood Crystal was used as the array's core, the concentration of Blood Qi in the array suddenly increased, enveloping Hua Qiang's body as if he were wearing a blood-red battle robe.
Instantly, the life force in Hua Qiang's body completely stopped leaking out, and the Spiritual Power continuously provided by the Blood Crystal continued to nourish his body, and even his Blood Qi was slowly rising.
It's definitely useful!
Hua Qiang was overjoyed to have confirmed his conjecture, as he no longer needed to worry about the loss of his life force, which would lead to a decline in his cultivation level.
Now, as long as he continues to absorb and refine the Blood Crystal, his strength will continue to increase.
However, what he was most concerned about was how to obtain more Starry Sky Realm Blood Qi and Spiritual Power, so that he could accelerate his control of Starry Sky Power and thus step into the Starry Sky Realm!
Hua Qiang pondered to himself. Even with Ye Xiao Starry Sky Realm cultivation, he couldn't leave this ruin. So, if he wanted to leave this Exile Ruins, he would have to surpass the Starry Sky Realm in strength.
Only by reaching a higher level can one break free from the constraints here. If it's like Hana, it would take forever for me to escape!
The next moment, another conjecture arose in his mind. He vaguely felt that the mysterious existence might be related to his departure from this Exile Ruins.
If I could find the other party and create an opening from there, perhaps the way out would be right in front of me.
I've given up on thinking about it. I'll just focus on searching for Blood Crystal. This ruin is so huge; it must have existed for countless millennia. There should be quite a few Blood Crystal like these.
Once he has collected enough Blood Crystal and pushed his strength to the Immortal Emperor Peak, then he will have a slight chance to contend with that mysterious being.
His current strength is still too weak; he can only unleash the cultivation of the Immortal King Realm. If he were to rush forward rashly, he would probably be drowned by the opponent's spittle.
Just as Hua Qiang was relentlessly searching for the Blood Crystal, Xing Ming, whose mentality had been shattered by the beating, also experienced his moment of glory.
At this moment, he was staring blankly at something that looked like a pile of poop. Could this be the legendary Tai Sui?
Yes, it must be, but this Tai Sui is very different from what he imagined, it's disgusting!
Moreover, the smell was exactly the same as that of the latrine.
But this thing is really big!
Driven by his eagerness for power, Xing Ming reached out and grabbed Tai Sui, then pulled it up and bit it.
He couldn't be deceived by appearances. He took a bite, and a sweet taste filled his heart, making him tremble all over.
It felt so good; he hadn't tasted the "sweetness" of life in so long!
With a crunch, Xing Ming chewed and swallowed the piece of Tai Sui in his mouth. The next moment, his body felt warm, and a faint, long-lost power formed within him, surging through his limbs and bones.
Feeling so comfortable, he couldn't help but let out a sound that was hard to describe.
With a crunch, he took another big bite, then chewed and swallowed it.
A few minutes later, he had completely devoured a basketball-sized Tai Sui. Now he felt like he had inexhaustible energy, and at one point he even felt that he could smash a mountain with a single punch.
"Hahahaha, I'm back again!"
"Hua Qiang, you bastard, don't let me run into you, or I'll tear all your bones apart and make you taste what it's like to be a noodle man!"
"Oh, really? Old man, you seem quite confident in yourself. I'm itching for a game, let's play a couple of rounds!"
Xing Ming was startled by Hua Qiang's sudden voice, and his face immediately contorted with rage.
"You bastard, you have a path to heaven but you choose to walk into hell!"
"I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"
Immediately, he leaped towards Hua Qiang, clenched his fist, and slammed it down hard.
