The moment this essence blood entered Xiao Yan's body, it immediately unleashed an extremely powerful and violent force, forming a blood-red wave that raged through Xiao Yan's body, as if it wanted to destroy his meridians and internal organs.
This situation was naturally under Xiao Yan's control. The fact that he allowed it to come in meant that he wasn't completely unprepared.
"Puff!"
With a thought, a pale white flame surged forth throughout his body, enveloping all his meridians and bones. No matter how the power within the blood essence clashed against it, it had no effect whatsoever.
He focused his mind inward, and the Heavenly Flames condensed into a finger, which he then pointed at the ball of bright red blood without hesitation.
"Bang!"
With a soft thud, a fist-sized ball of essence blood burst open, transforming into countless tiny blood droplets, like dense raindrops, which instantly dispersed throughout Xiao Yan's body and rapidly merged into his bones and flesh.
If Xiao Yan wants to use this essence blood to temper his physical body, the best way is naturally to fully release the power of this essence blood, allowing the power contained within it to explode in every cell of Xiao Yan's body, letting its explosion destroy everything. All Xiao Yan needs to do in this process is to endure.
"Bang bang bang..."
Tiny beads of blood seeped into the muscle, then exploded like balloons, unleashing their full destructive power.
The powerful force transformed into an energy wave that bombarded every cell. Instantly, the pain of tearing muscles came from all over Xiao Yan's body. The intensity of the pain was like a torrential downpour, and the intense pain that stimulated his nerves was like being pierced by countless steel needles.
Although the power contained in the blood essence of the Red-Scaled Python was violent, after countless decompositions, its power had been diluted considerably. At least, it would not have any negative impact on Xiao Yan himself. Nevertheless, this extreme tempering method still sent chills down one's spine.
The excruciating pain was almost unbearable for most people. Yet, even so, Xiao Yan dared not tense his body in the slightest while enduring this extreme pain. Any resistance would diminish the benefits that the essence blood was bringing him. Therefore, Xiao Yan had to ensure that his body received this power perfectly without any resistance, and this entire process was bound to be extremely painful.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan is most able to endure pain.
To gain power, one must always pay a price. If one cannot even endure this pain, then it only proves that Xiao Yan is not qualified to obtain this power. However, the fact is that he did.
After two hours of agonizing torment, the essence blood of the Red-Scaled Python within Xiao Yan's body was finally completely exhausted. During this process, Xiao Yan made no attempt to resist, allowing the power contained within the essence blood to erupt within his body, drawing strength from each destruction.
"Call..."
Feeling the throbbing pain throughout his body, Xiao Yan trembled and exhaled. After two hours, all the muscles in his body involuntarily tensed up, and each muscle cell expanded several times over, with the hidden power within them being particularly strong.
As the essence blood was consumed, it also brought great stimulation to Xiao Yan's body. He could even clearly feel that every muscle cell in his body was breathing wildly as if it had undergone intense exercise. Although Xiao Yan was trying to relax his body, the appearance of his body at this moment still appeared exceptionally powerful.
One can imagine just how powerful Xiao Yan's physical strength will be once he fully recovers!
It wasn't until half an hour later that Xiao Yan gradually recovered and sat cross-legged again, but Xiao Yan was not in a hurry to cultivate his physical strength.
Cultivating physical strength requires a balance of tension and relaxation, a slow and intense approach. Only after proper rest can one ensure that the body is not damaged. As the saying goes, extremes meet, and being too eager for quick results may actually harm Xiao Yan's foundation.
With a thought, the immense Spiritual Strength between his brows surged outwards, instantly condensing into nine avatars around Xiao Yan.
Since leaving Zhu Family Village, Xiao Yan has focused most of his attention on these nine incarnations, aside from traveling.
With High-Grade Spirit Stone as an energy source, the cultivation of the nine avatars naturally accelerated considerably. Now, all nine avatars have reached the Mid-Stage Six-Star Dou Di realm, making them exceptionally powerful.
Furthermore, the nine avatars merged into one, advancing their cultivation to the Early-Stage Seven-Star Dou Di. Their combat power was undoubtedly much stronger than that of many ordinary Dou Di experts. In addition, with Xiao Yan as their main body, their combined combat power was even more unparalleled!
With a flick of his finger, three streams of light shot out, which were three High-Grade Spirit Stone.
Under Xiao Yan's deliberate concealment, the astonishing energy aura within did not spread outwards, and the dazzling milky-white light of the Spirit Stone was also completely obscured.
High-Grade Spirit Stone are incredibly precious; even experts at the Origin Transformation Realm would be tempted by them. How could Xiao Yan take them out so casually? To be on the safe side, he even added the Great Dao of the Void to them, not only concealing the immense energy contained within the High-Grade Spirit Stone but also obscuring its own brilliance.
Even so, Xiao Yan still chose a high spot on the boulder to avoid being too close and having the Spirit Stone discovered by outsiders.
Immediately afterwards, the three streams of light floated in front of the three avatars, and under Xiao Yan's guidance, streams of pure energy surged out and quickly entered the bodies of the nine avatars.
As the sun rose again in the distant east the next day, the group, who had rested for the night, had vanished without a trace, leaving only faint marks on the rocky ground. They had already set off on their journey once more.
Over the next few days, although the journey remained arduous, for some reason, everyone's pace quickened considerably. Along the way, everyone centered around Xiao Yan, trying their best to keep up with the young man's pace. Although the process was even more tiring than in the previous days, they were also surprised to find that the power within each of them seemed to have become much more concentrated.
In this way, the originally dull and boring itinerary actually made these people more energetic.
By noon on the third day, the environment around the group gradually changed. From a great distance, they could see an endless mountain range at the horizon, which was the main hall of the Northern Wasteland Hall, Mount Beiji.
