The Blood Exhaustion Method, or Essence Blood Annihilation, was different. When this cultivation method dispersed a person's essence blood, it also completely dispersed their true qi.
This way of dispersing true qi was different from crippling one's own internal power.
After crippling their own internal power, a person would probably have little chance of cultivating again.
Even if they could still cultivate, recovering their former strength in a short time was unlikely.
But Essence Blood Annihilation could accomplish that. As long as essence blood was replenished, strength could be restored rapidly.
Of course, it clearly also had significant shortcomings and aftereffects.
Namely, Essence Blood Annihilation likewise could not regenerate essence blood on its own. It could only ensure that a person would not die without essence blood, allowing them to restore everything they had before with someone else's essence blood.
After all, essence blood absorbed from others was not one's own.
To maintain their strength, they would have to keep consuming essence blood to make up for the losses.
That was the price, perhaps.
"I don't need to absorb anyone else's essence blood," Huang Xiao murmured.
His essence blood could regenerate. Even if he cultivated Essence Blood Annihilation, he could rely on his own essence blood to restore everything when the time came.

Over the past ten thousand years, quite a few people had entered the Ghost Capital and died there. Their essence blood must have been absorbed.
With essence blood, that person would certainly have
