Refining, and Breaking Through Again!

As one of the strongest experts on the Dou Qi Dou Qi Continent, the amount of energy contained in a single drop of Zhukun's Essence Blood is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Moreover, Zhukun is also the Monster Supreme!

As we all know, monsters are different from humans; their entire bodies are practically treasures.

Just like you've heard of refining the Essence Blood of a certain magical beast to increase your strength.

But have you ever heard of someone enhancing their strength by refining another person's Essence Blood?

Even if the latter doesn't say it doesn't exist, it's clear that refining the Essence Blood of a magical beast will provide you with a greater boost compared to humans and magical beasts of the same level!

This might be related to the fact that it's harder for monsters to level up than for humans.

The advantage of Warcraft is its long lifespan, while its disadvantage is that cultivation is slow and advancement requires more resources.

In comparison, although humans have shorter lifespans, they can cultivate faster, and the resources required for advancement are not as many as those required by magical beasts of the same level.

Perhaps this is precisely why there is such a difference.

Clearly, Zhukun is now preparing to use his own Essence Blood as a way of repaying Xiao Lin for taking care of Zi Yan.

At the same time, this was also the method that Zhukun mentioned to help Xiao Lin improve his strength when Xiao Lin first came here!

As a top expert on the Dou Qi Continent and a Monster Supreme, the energy contained in a single drop of his Essence Blood is immeasurable!

In the Original Work, the Yellow Springs Demon Saint, who was also a top expert on the continent, left behind his Essence Blood.

However, since the Yellow Springs Demon Saint is already dead, it is impossible to verify whether his Main Body was human or a demonic beast.

His Essence Blood might not be stronger than Zhukun's!

Although it was mentioned in the Original Work that the Yellow Springs Demon Saint had cultivated to the point that his own bloodline had mutated.

But this mutation is actually just a transformation towards the Dou Emperor Bloodline.

As for Xiao Xuan, Gu Yuan, and Hun Tiandi, they all come from Emperor Clans, and what they possess is definitely the Dou Emperor Bloodline from their ancestors.

Therefore, from this perspective, the Yellow Springs Demon Saint may not necessarily be able to suppress Xiao Xuan, Gu Yuan, and the Hun Tiandi.

Of course, since they are both at the Emperor Soul and Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint, there is absolutely no difference in their strength.

If they were to fight to the death, the outcome would almost certainly be mutual destruction.

Is the Yellow Springs Demon Saint strong?

That's absolutely, without a doubt, incredibly strong!

But throughout history, no one who possesses the Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint and the Emperor Soul is necessarily weaker than anyone else!

Comparing the Yellow Springs Demon Saint with the current Zhukun, it's equally impossible to say who is stronger or weaker.

But there's a story behind each person's Essence Blood.

The Yellow Springs Demon Saint is already dead. His Essence Blood was left behind before his death, while Zhukun is still alive!

Therefore, the quality of Zhukun's Essence Blood, compared to that left by the Yellow Springs Demon Saint in the Original Work, is not necessarily higher, but it is definitely not lower!

At the same time, after forcing out a drop of Essence Blood from his body, Xiao Lin could clearly feel that Zhukun's aura had weakened slightly.

"Senior Zhukun, what is this...?"

Even though he had expected it, Xiao Lin was still somewhat excited.

"This is my Dragon Emperor Essence Blood. After refining it, your strength will rise to the next level."

Zhukun spoke calmly.

This was the decision Zhukun had made after learning from his daughter that everything Xiao Lin had said was true during the month he had been in contact with Zi Yan.

To be fair, Zhukun's way of repaying his debt of gratitude was quite direct!

But Xiao Lin likes it!

"Thank you, Senior Zhukun!"

Zhukun had already forced out his own Essence Blood, Xiao Lin naturally wouldn't be pretentious.

Besides, he was already eager to improve his strength, so why would he refuse the drop of Essence Blood given to him by Zhukun?

"Refine this drop of my Essence Blood right here, and I will lend you a hand!"

After saying that, Zhukun manipulated the ball of Essence Blood, about the size of an infant's fist, that was floating in his palm, and made it float in front of Xiao Lin.

Yes, that's the size of a single drop of Zhukun's Essence Blood!

"Okay, I understand!"

Seeing this, Xiao Lin did not hesitate at all and sat down cross-legged on the huge square.

Clearly, Xiao Lin was planning to refine Zhukun's drop of Essence Blood directly.

With Zhukun himself present, this should go quite smoothly!

Indeed, that is the case.

With Xiao Lin's full absorption and Zhukun's assistance, the speed at which he refined this drop of Dragon Emperor Essence Blood was quite fast!

In just two or three days, Xiao Lin had already refined nearly half of this drop of Dragon Emperor Essence Blood.

During this time, Xiao Lin's aura grew stronger and stronger!

From the early Mid-Stage Three-Star Dou Saint to the later stages, and finally to the peak...

However, as Xiao Lin gradually absorbed the energy from this drop of Dragon Emperor Essence Blood, Zhukun frowned.

"Judging from the current situation, even this drop of my Essence Blood would barely be enough to help this kid reach the Early Four-Star Dou Sheng, let alone reach a major realm..."

Zhukun's whispered words were tinged with dissatisfaction.

Because he felt it was something that made him lose face!

In fact, Zhukun was still too strong-willed.

It's important to know that in the Original Work, after Xiao Yan absorbed the Demon Saint Essence Blood from the Yellow Springs Demon Saint, he only advanced from the Early One-Star Dou Saint to the Late-Stage One-Star Dou Saint.

Xiao Lin is currently at the level of Three-Star Dou Sheng!

Logically speaking, this should have been a pretty good thing, as it helped Xiao Lin advance to the Peak Three-Star Dou Saint.

But right now, it's not that Xiao Lin, the beneficiary, is dissatisfied, but rather that Zhukun, the supplier of the Dragon Emperor Essence Blood, is not!

According to Zhukun's understanding, Xiao Lin had taken care of his daughter for so long, which was an immense favor!

He merely helped Xiao Lin advance from the Mid-Stage Three-Star Dou Saint to the peak; the debt of gratitude he owed was far too small!

So, he felt a little embarrassed to admit it...

Therefore, just as Xiao Lin was about to absorb all of the Dragon Emperor Essence Blood, Zhukun gritted his teeth and forced out another drop of Dragon Emperor Essence Blood from his own body.

Then, he continued to help Xiao Lin refine his second drop of Dragon Emperor Essence Blood.

Having forced out two drops of his own Essence Blood in a short period of time, Zhukun's aura noticeably weakened.

But he didn't interfere further, and instead continued to repeat the same actions, helping Xiao Lin refine his Dragon Emperor Essence Blood.

Xiao Lin, who was originally absorbing and refining the Dragon Emperor Essence Blood with his eyes closed, instinctively sensed something was wrong when Zhukun delivered the second drop of Essence Blood, and prepared to stop.

"Keep going, don't stop!"

However, before that, Zhukun's voice rang in Xiao Lin's ears.

Trusting Zhukun, Xiao Lin continued to absorb and refine the Dragon Emperor Essence Blood.

Five days later, the second drop of Dragon Emperor Essence Blood was finally absorbed and refined by Xiao Lin!

Thanks to Zhukun's help, it only took ten days to refine the two drops of Dragon Emperor Essence Blood, which contained immense energy!

"Boom"

On the tenth day, Xiao Lin, who had absorbed and refined the two drops of Dragon Emperor Essence Blood, suddenly opened his eyes.

At the same time, Xiao Lin also unleashed the aura of a Four-Star Dou Sheng!

Moreover, this is not even the Early Four-Star Dou Sheng, but the Mid-Four-Star Dou Sheng, and even faintly approaching the late stage!

Xiao Lin was confident that he could reach the Late Four-Star Dou Sheng realm in about a year, given his current situation.

Such a huge improvement made Xiao Lin overjoyed.
