It was like an engine, tirelessly transporting blood to every part of the body. Anyone with a powerful heart would never be weak in the blood moving realm.
Now, with the help of the purple qilin blood, Shi Yi's heart underwent an ultimate transformation, surpassing the extreme limit and sublimating completely to reach an entirely new realm.
He had grown even stronger, surpassing his former self. At the very least, he could find no equal in the blood moving realm.
After enduring the agony of ten thousand ants devouring his heart, the transformation of Shi Yi's heart finally ended in complete success.
He now possessed a purple heart, wreathed in rising purple mist and densely covered in qilin patterns, harboring terrifying power beyond imagination.
It was similar to a golden heart. Once activated, it would unleash an incomparably terrifying power of blood and vitality, throwing the heavens into chaos and shaking the earth.
Shi Yi clutched his chest and gasped for breath. Pain still lingered in his body, not yet fully dissipated.
His gaze shifted as he tried to activate this purple heart. In an instant, purple mist gushed from every pore on his body, and his blood surged endlessly like mighty rivers, supplying him with an unceasing stream of energy.
Shi Yi stretched his limbs a little. This terrifying power felt somewhat unfamiliar to him.
After familiarizing himself with it, he tested his raw physical strength. The result was outrageously astonishing, far beyond the strength any creature in the blood moving realm should possess.
Shi Yi was shaken. By risking his life to enter the qilin blood river passage, he had actually obtained such an immense opportunity.
He could sense that the essence within the drop of purple qilin blood had not been fully absorbed. His current capacity could not accommodate it all, either. Most of the essence was stored in his purple heart and would gradually be released during his future cultivation.
He had already experienced how heaven-defying the qilin blood droplet was. It had forcibly elevated his heart by several levels, making it comparable to those innate golden hearts.
Then what about the Qilin Precious Technique?
This was what Shi Yi anticipated most. After all, powerful as the purple heart seemed, it had ultimately been created through the forcible enhancement of the qilin blood droplet. It might prove tremendously useful in the early stages of cultivation, but its significance would diminish in the later stages.
The Qilin Precious Technique was different. If Shi Yi obtained it, comprehended its true meaning, and then sublimated it further upon that foundation, he would benefit for a lifetime.
With his double pupils open, he looked inward at his own heart, attempting to find traces of qilin symbols.
Effort never betrayed the determined. In an inconspicuous corner of one chamber of his purple heart, Shi Yi spotted an engraving of a Purple Qilin. It consisted of endless tiny symbols, densely packed, intricate and profound, embodying the mysteries of the Great Dao.
Shi Yi's heart stirred. This was the supreme Treasure Technique he yearned for-the Qilin Precious Technique.
The complete Qilin Precious Technique was undoubtedly something that could rival the Kun Peng Precious Technique.
To have obtained such a thing, Shi Yi's fortune was unimaginably great.
After all, the Shi Yi of the original story had obtained only the Qilin Remnant Technique, which meant he had never fought his way into the passage.
The original Shi Yi had not known that the extreme limit of the blood moving realm was so high. Unlike Shi Yi in this life, he had not set his sights high from the very beginning and worked toward that goal.
If Shi Yi had not reached what he then believed to be the extreme limit after the blood pool baptism, he would have had no chance of approaching the passage, even with the Qilin Step.
The wheels of history rolled onward. Shi Yi had already embarked upon a different path to supremacy.
He sat cross-legged in the Blood Pool and began comprehending the qilin engraving in the corner of his heart chamber.
The profundity of the Ten Fiends' secret techniques defied imagination. This was especially true of the complete qilin secret technique. Even though Shi Yi had been born with double pupils that could analyze runes and see through to their origins, fully comprehending it in a short time was difficult.
He became utterly immersed in the qilin engraving, savoring the many mysteries of the Qilin Precious Technique, ceaselessly analyzing and evolving them. A single instant felt as long as millions upon millions of years.
Qilin were creatures beloved by the heavens, known as auspicious beasts. In truth, however, their race was ferocious. Otherwise, they could never have ranked among the Ten Fiends of Immortal Ancient.
Before Shi Yi's eyes, the qilin engraving came alive. It transformed into countless symbols of the Great Dao, then into showers of dazzling purple light that danced and reassembled in the void, finally forming an enormous Purple Qilin.
The mysteries of all the heavens lay within him. As his power circulated, rivers of stars gathered around him, and stars emerged one after another, slowly revolving around the Purple Qilin like a host of stars cradling the moon. It was as though the universe, its mountains and rivers, and the four poles of heaven and earth had all been born because of him and revolved around him.
Shi Yi drank it all in ravenously.
The Purple Qilin was vividly lifelike, as though that supreme creature of old had been reborn. As his gaze shifted, hundreds and thousands of lifetimes passed in a glance. Seas became mulberry fields, ages changed, and only the immortal Dao remained eternally unchanged.
The next moment, terrifying scenes appeared within his gaze: great stars rising and sinking, and the universe shattering. The sight was staggering.
Shi Yi activated his double pupils and exerted every ounce of his ability to comprehend the true meaning of the Purple Qilin's runes.
After an unknown length of time, the symbols in Shi Yi's eyes finally settled. Then his purple heart beat, and the endless divine radiance in his blood transformed into tiny Purple Qilin that raced through his blood vessels.
Boom!
The Purple Qilin disintegrated into countless runes that descended upon Shi Yi and merged with him.
At that moment, a hazy purple sheen covered Shi Yi's skin, forming qilin scales. He seemed to have become a humanoid qilin, ready to tear through the vast universe and slaughter his way into the nine heavens.
Runes filled the sky, and qilin patterns were densely interwoven. Every line was crystalline and translucent, an indispensable part of the Qilin Precious Technique.
Shi Yi immersed himself in it, body and soul, comprehending the many secrets of the Qilin Precious Technique. In a single instant, he seemed to return to that brilliant, glorious era countless ages ago. Through the Purple Qilin's perspective, he suppressed all above and below, invincible both within and beyond the universe.
In the end, he completely mastered the Qilin Precious Technique, truly gaining a complete technique of the Ten Fiends.
It was on an entirely different level from the Treasure Techniques of primordial remnants and pure-blooded fierce beasts he had learned at the Martial King Manor and Demon Spirit Lake.
If the world learned that Shi Yi had obtained the complete Qilin Precious Technique, everyone would surely go mad.
Even in the Upper Realm, the Qilin Precious Technique was a coveted prize. It would stir the greed of great powers, making them unable to resist moving against Shi Yi.
Thus, under ordinary circumstances, Shi Yi would use only the Qilin Remnant Technique. After all, an innocent man became guilty simply by carrying a precious jade.
Once Shi Yi truly grew powerful, no petty scoundrel would dare covet his Treasure Technique again.
He withdrew the Qilin Precious Technique and steadied his aura.
Shi Yi did not know exactly how much time had passed from charging into the passage to merging with the purple qilin blood and comprehending the complete Qilin Precious Technique. But it had certainly not been short.
From what he knew of those Pure-Blooded Creatures, they definitely would not remain where they were and wait for him. To open the passage, Little Golden Spider alone was far from enough.
In other words, if Shi Yi wanted to get out, he could rely only on himself.
