Heavenly Soul Roam

At this moment, in Hai Bodong's eyes,

although she was only a little snake, an indescribable air of elegance and nobility emanated from her.

After a swift discussion with Old Yao,

they determined that she was most likely

the evolved Queen Medusa.

At Old Yao's urging, Hai Bodong cautiously fed the little snake several bites of Purple Crystal Winged Lion King meat.

This confirmed that as long as he could provide her with enough food rich in fire-attributed energy,

then within a short period,

this juvenile Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python,

which Queen Medusa had transformed into,

would no longer reject him.

Afterward, suppressing the fear in his heart, Hai Bodong swiftly and carefully tucked her into his sleeve.

With Old Yao's help,

he concealed both his and Qing Lin's presence,

then quietly vanished from the spot.

Because Old Yao's concealment abilities

were exceptionally superb, the Snake People outside

had no idea that their Queen Medusa had already been secretly taken away by Hai Bodong's group.

When Queen Medusa's aura vanished once more, they fell silent again.

However, this time, they did not

let out the same hisses and roars as before.

Instead, they waited quietly and patiently at the side

for Queen Medusa to reappear.

After all, judging from

the aura Queen Medusa had just unleashed,

their Snake People queen

had clearly advanced successfully to the level of Dou Zong.

Yet after waiting for quite some time,

they made another startling discovery.

The purple barrier

that had suddenly unfolded earlier

was actually beginning to disappear as well.

Moreover, from their observations,

there was now not even the slightest trace

of Queen Medusa's aura within it.

At this sight, their previously ecstatic faces instantly turned pale.

Seeing this, Pill King Gu He and his group had no intention of lingering any longer.

After all, according to Gu He's soul perception,

even the aura of the Green Lotus Core Flame seemed to have vanished alongside Queen Medusa.

With the hopes in his heart shattered,

Gu He, who had gained nothing, chose not to remain any longer in order to avoid an even fiercer clash with the Snake People.

He began leading the rest of his companions away,

turning around and fleeing under Yun Yun's protection.

When Hua She'er and the others saw Gu He's group fleeing, they seemed to realize something as well.

Immediately, they summoned a large number of Snake People elders and tribal chiefs to pursue Gu He's group.

After all, in the eyes of the Snake People,

this group of humans had dared to brazenly invade the Snake People Sacred Hall.

Even if their Queen Medusa might no longer be here, in order to uphold the Snake People's dignity,

they had to make Gu He and his group

pay a painful price.

Meanwhile, with Gu He's group drawing the entire Snake People's hatred,

Hai Bodong's concealed group,

despite traveling on foot the entire way,

needed only half a day

to successfully return before nightfall to the Ancient Map Shop in Mo City,

where Hai Bodong had lived during the decades when his Dou Qi had been sealed.

After handing the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python that Queen Medusa had transformed into over to Old Yao and Qing Lin for safekeeping,

Hai Bodong began focusing on refining the Heavenly Flame source of the Green Lotus Core Flame he had successfully subdued earlier

inside the map shop's

underground Ice Cellar.

The next morning,

under Old Yao's protection, Hai Bodong successfully completed the refinement of the Heavenly Flame source.

Although he could cultivate only ice-attributed Dou Qi, and Devouring Heavenly Flame sources could not increase his Dou Qi cultivation,

his Divine Blood Realm, which had originally only reached the first realm, Divine Blood Awakening, was stimulated by the Heavenly Flame source.

It consecutively crossed the three major Divine Blood Realms of Snake Eye Opening, Star Vein Awakening, and Nine Spirit Surge,

reaching the fifth realm, Heavenly Soul Roam.

When he habitually opened the Attribute Panel within his sea of consciousness again,

a new list of basic information regarding Hai Bodong appeared at the corner of his vision.

Host: Hai Bodong

Dou Qi Realm: Eight-Star Dou Huang

Soul Realm: Mortal Realm Peak

Divine Blood Realm: Fifth Realm (Heavenly Soul Roam)

Cultivation Method: Ice Muscle Jade Bone Art (Earth Rank Low)

Dou Techniques: Ice Spirit Armor (Mysterious Rank Low), Ice Round Blade (Mysterious Rank Low), Mysterious Ice Whirlwind Kill (Mysterious Rank Low), Ice Wings (Mysterious Rank Middle), Multiple Ice Layers (Mysterious Rank High), Condensing Ice Mirror (Mysterious Rank Middle), Mysterious Ice Giant Shield (Mysterious Rank High), Multiple Ice Blades (Mysterious Rank High), Mysterious Ice Dance (Mysterious Rank High), Ice Blade Storm (Mysterious Rank High), Cold Qi Condensation (Mysterious Rank Low), Mysterious Ice Spike Wall (Mysterious Rank High), Mysterious Ice Giant Cone (Mysterious Rank High), Myriad Flowers Ice Mirror (Earth Rank Low), Mysterious Ice Dragon Soar (Earth Rank Low)...

Time Wheel Hourglass: Available to activate

Looking at the slightly altered information, Hai Bodong thought excitedly:

"I never expected that this time, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong would use the power of the Heavenly Flame source to successfully break through to the fifth Divine Blood Realm known as Heavenly Soul Roam."

"It actually raised my soul strength from Late Mortal Realm, which could only rival a Fifth-grade Alchemist, to Mortal Realm Peak, enough to rival a Sixth Grade Alchemist."

After Hai Bodong briefly tested the effects of the four newly attained Divine Blood Realms,

he also learned the specific capabilities

corresponding to each of the five Divine Blood Realms.

The first Divine Blood Realm, Divine Blood Awakening,

was the initial awakening of a Divine Blood Person's bloodline.

This realm required no cultivation.

Under a fortunate coincidence,

one could reach it naturally.

Aside from extending one's lifespan to a certain extent,

it provided an extremely limited boost to combat strength.

In Hai Bodong's estimation,

a Divine Blood Person at only the first realm might not even be able to defeat a Dou Zhe-stage Dou Qi cultivator.

Upon reaching the second Divine Blood Realm, Snake Eye Opening,

the power of Divine Blood People began to emerge.

At this stage, Divine Blood People

could activate their Snake Eyes

and gain the ability to control a mental force field.

In Hai Bodong's estimation,

a Divine Blood Person at this realm

could at most defeat an ordinary Dou Master.

At the third Divine Blood Realm, Star Vein Awakening,

the defining feature of Divine Blood People at this stage was a ring-shaped red Blood Energy Halo appearing behind their heads.

Simply put, this halo was similar to the halo of the Buddha that Hai Bodong had read about in books from another world.

At this stage, Divine Blood People

had already been completely remade by the cleansing of Divine Blood throughout their bodies.

Their physical strength soared!

However, in Hai Bodong's estimation,

a Divine Blood Person at this realm could at most defeat an ordinary Da Dou Shi expert.

Upon reaching the fourth Divine Blood Realm, Nine Spirit Surge,

the power of Divine Blood People saw a considerable increase.

This was because Divine Blood People at this stage could already release the Divine Blood particles within their bodies.
