Qiong Luo Realm, inside the secret realm.
A pitch-black imperial domain filled heaven and earth. At its center stood a hazy figure, streaming with dazzling divine radiance.
Shi Lan closed her eyes and focused. Immersed in a pool of blood, she drew wisps of essence from it and poured them into the domain, nourishing the figure within.
The blood pool was made from the mixed bloodlines of several Supremes. It contained none of the Asura Clan's battle blood.
Perhaps after years of soaking in it, the Asura Clan's battle blood had reached the limit of what it could do to strengthen her body. It still benefited her cultivation, but the effect had become unsatisfactory.
After weighing it all, Shi Lan gave up on continuing to devour battle blood to cultivate. More than a thousand members of the Asura Clan were still waiting for the blood pool to transform their bloodlines.
This was the foundation of an entire clan. The Asura Clan had no experts above the eighth rank, and the battle blood pool's losses would be difficult to replenish in the short term.
She still had some Supreme bloodline left in her hands, enough for her own cultivation.
But there was only so much Supreme bloodline to begin with, and one day it would run out. She couldn't take Bai Yu with her to ambush another Supreme. The risk was too great; it would be like licking blood off a knife's edge, gambling with her life.
Thinking about cultivation gave Shi Lan some cause for worry. The Dharma Body taking shape within her imperial domain had an enormous appetite. The resources she had spent since entering the Heaven-Observing Realm would have been enough to push an ordinary cultivator to the fifth heaven of Emperor Grade—never mind the Blood Cloud Realm.
