The Blood God Body Divine Ability, Breakthrough to Divine Consciousness!

"What a waste!"

Ji An shook his head as he flipped through the "Blood God Body" manual he had obtained from the Blood Fiend Adept.

"Blood God Body, when cultivated to its peak, the body can rival Pure Yang Treasure." Just one sentence in the introduction was enough to immediately attract Ji An's attention.

This supernatural power is actually a power that can cultivate a person's body to the point where it resembles a magical artifact.

Artificial treasures crafted by humans are divided into five stages: Human Rank, Earth Rank, Heaven Rank, Immortal Rank, and Pure Yang Rank.

This supernatural power can refine a person's body to the pure yang level.

At that time, even Pure Yang True Immortal would need special methods to destroy it.

No wonder his sword strike failed to harm that Blood Fiend Old Ghost.

Moreover, according to the introduction, this "Blood God Body" is not a purely evil divine power, but rather a technique that the Blood Fiend Adept cultivated using the wrong method.

According to the description in the introduction of "Blood God Body", the most orthodox way to cultivate this supernatural power is to use the essence blood of a race different from one's own. In that case, the supernatural power cultivated will not be like that of "Blood Fiend Adept", which is obviously a heretical secret method.

As for why Blood Fiend Adept, knowing the side effects of using the blood essence of his own kind, still chose to use it.

That's because cultivating this supernatural power using the essence blood of one's own kind is faster and simpler.

For example, if one uses the essence blood of Alien Race to cultivate the first level, one needs the essence blood of Alien Race at the Violet Palace Mansion realm.

The second level requires the essence blood of Alien Races from the Myriad Phenomena Manifestations Realm.

The third level requires reaching the Primordial Spirit level, and the same applies to the fourth and fifth levels.

The Sixth Layer even requires the essence and blood of Void Returning God or Demon!

However, if one uses blood essence from one's own race, one can still cultivate and break through to the third level even using Houtian blood essence!

This is also the real reason why the Blood Fiend Adept specifically kidnaps mortals.

"This divine ability can be cultivated by those who have mastered Qi Refining, Godfiend Body Refinement Qi Refining, or Body Refining for the first three levels. However, from the fourth level onwards, it places a great burden on the body, so only those with a Divine Demon Body Refining can cultivate it, and one must reach the Primordial Spirit Godfiend Body Refinement Refining before one can begin cultivating the fourth level."

"The Violet Palace Realm allows cultivation of the first and second levels."

"The Myriad Phenomena Level, capable of cultivating to the third level."

"At the Primordial Spirit level, one can cultivate the fourth and fifth levels."

"The Void Returning God-Demon realm can cultivate to the Sixth Layer."

"The Heavenly God can cultivate to the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels."

The first three levels correspond exactly to the Human Rank, Earth Rank, and Heaven Rank magic treasures.

The fourth and fifth levels are also Heaven Rank, but one is Heaven Rank Supreme Grade and the other is a Quasi -Immortal Rank Magic Treasure.

The Sixth Layer is a true Immortal Rank magic weapon; at that point, even ordinary Heavenly Immortals would find it difficult to harm it.

The ninth level is the magic weapon mentioned at the beginning, whose peak level is comparable to the Pure Yang Rank.

This supernatural power amazed Ji An. He never expected that the Blood Fiend Adept, a mere Ten Thousand Elephant True Man, could possess such a power.

Even Heavenly Immortal beings could not possess such supernatural powers unless they had extraordinary birth or extraordinary opportunities.

This supernatural power is the First Divine Ability in the Three Realms below the True God level, reaching the sixth level.

The First Divine Ability in the Three Realms below the True God is the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts " jointly created by the leaders of Buddhism and Daoism!

"I never expected to acquire such a divine power; it's a truly unexpected delight," he murmured to himself, his fingertips lightly tracing the pages of the book. "And—"

Previously, obtaining the essence blood of a different kind at the Primordial Spirit level would have been extremely difficult for Ji An, akin to throwing an egg against a rock.

But now--

"Yinglong Guard - Prison Mountain Great Marsh -"

Yinglong Guard has been fighting against the Demon Race for many years. In the Prison Mountain Great Marsh, there are many great demons at the Violet Palace and Myriad Phenomena Manifestations realms, and even Primordial Spirit Demon Kings are not uncommon.

Isn't this perfect food for cultivation?

Hunting down powerful demons is a routine task for the Yinglong Guards to gain merit.

If we could use the lifeblood of our mission targets as resources for cultivating this "Blood God Body"—wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?

It allows one to accumulate merit to exchange for the "Golden Origin Scripture" and also to cultivate this supernatural power.

Ji An finished checking his spoils, there was a knock on the door.

"Yinglong Guard, this humble general requests an audience." It was the voice of the general in the early stages of the Myriad Phenomena who was stationed in Blackwater City.

"Come in," Ji An said calmly.

The door was pushed open, and the general walked in, his face filled with awe and gratitude. He bowed and said, "This humble general, Shi Feng, the garrison commander of Blackwater City, greets Your Excellency. Thank you for your intervention in eliminating the Blood Fiend Demon. Your Excellency's divine might is truly admirable!"

"It's my duty." Ji An nodded, indicating that there was no need for further formalities.

Shi Feng straightened up and reported, "After you left, sir, I led my men to the valley. All 5,300 surviving civilians have been safely brought back to Blackwater City and settled. Rest assured, sir, there will be no problems."

"Hmm, well done." Ji An approved of the arrangement.

Although he disliked tedious and mundane affairs, properly settling these innocent people was a meritorious deed.

Seeing that Ji An didn't want to say anything more, Shi Feng tactfully bowed again. "Then this humble general will not disturb your peaceful cultivation any longer, sir."

After Shi Feng withdrew.

"The first three levels, the Violet Palace and Myriad Phenomena levels, are sufficient for cultivation—the required essence blood—" Ji An pondered, "Heavenly Treasure Mountain sells them; I can go back to the Red Dragon Mountain Range to submit my mission and purchase some then."

The following morning.

Ji An did not alert anyone and went straight to the teleportation array in Blackwater City.

They stepped into the formation once more.

With a flash of light, the space shifted, and he was back in the familiar giant tower-shaped teleportation array of the Red Dragon Mountain Range.

Red Dragon Mountain Range, Military Affairs Hall.

Ji An stepped into this desolate place once again and went straight to the counter.

This time it was the same white-haired, hemp-clad old man who had come before; he still had his eyes half-closed.

Ji An didn't say much, but directly placed the Blood Fiend Adept's signature magic weapon on the counter, and handed over his Yinglong Guard token.

The old man glanced at it, and after confirming it was correct, he pointed to a spot under the counter.

"Hmm, 'Blood Fiend Adept,' a Class C mission, with a reward of thirty merit points. This has already been credited to your token."

The old man's voice was calm.

Ji An accepted the token; his total merit points had reached one hundred, and he felt at peace.

We're still a long way from the 10,000 points needed for the "Golden Origin Scripture," so it seems we need to speed things up.

The more pressing matter right now is cultivating the Blood God Body.

"Essence Blood--" With a thought, Ji An's figure disappeared from the Military Affairs Hall, and he once again piloted the Void-Escaping Boat, heading straight for Anchan City.

Heavenly Treasure Mountain.

Ji An immediately showed his Yinglong Guard token, and a steward greeted him courteously.

He stated his requirements.

The steward soon presented several specially made jade bottles.

"My lord, please look," the steward said, pointing to the Crimson Flame Tiger at the Violet Palace Mansion Realm, this bottle contains the essence blood of the Myriad Phenomena Realm of the Mystic Ice Profound Ice Python, both icy cold and brimming with vitality; and this bottle contains the essence blood of the Azure-Armored Earth Dragon at the Violet Palace Mansion Realm."

Ji An scanned the area with his divine sense and confirmed that the quality was correct. With a wave of his hand, he purchased enough essence blood to cultivate the first and second levels of the Blood God Body.

Although these essence blood items weren't cheap, they were still within his means given his current wealth.

Moreover, the One-Clawed Yinglong Guard has a 10% discount within Heavenly Treasure Mountain.

However, when the steward carefully presented a bottle containing only three drops of dark golden essence blood, which exuded a chilling aura, and announced the price...

Even Ji An couldn't help but frown.

"My lord, this is the essence blood of Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator; one drop contains a thousand catties of Essence Liquid," the steward explained.

Essence blood of the Primordial Spirit Realm!

A single drop requires a thousand catties of Essence Liquid.

Three drops equal three thousand pounds.

Ji An: purchasing these three drops of essence blood would be enough for him to use when breaking through the bottleneck of the third level of the Blood God Body, but if he wanted to cultivate to the perfection of the third level, the amount of essence blood required and the amount of Essence Liquid spent would be astronomical.

It would be far more worthwhile to hunt down Primordial Spirit primordial spirits in the Prison Mountain Great Marsh in the future.

"I want this essence blood." Ji An made a decisive decision.

The manager quickly agreed.

Ji An paid a total of three thousand catties of Essence Liquid, including the essence blood of the Violet Palace, the essence blood of the Myriad Phenomena Manifestations, and the three drops of Primordial Spirit essence blood (because of the nine-tenths discount at Heavenly Treasure Mountain), and stored all the essence blood in his storage magic treasure.

After leaving, Ji An did not linger, but went straight back to the middle area of Heavenly Treasure Mountain and returned to the Jia Character No. 3 Grotto he had previously rented.

The cave's protective barrier was activated, isolating it from the outside world.

Sitting cross-legged on a jade futon, Ji An first took out the blood-colored book that recorded the supernatural powers of the Blood God Body and carefully studied the cultivation methods of the first three levels once again.

"Let's begin."

He first took out a bottle of "Violet Palace realm Crimson Flame Tiger essence blood".

As the jade bottle was opened, a scorching heat instantly filled the air.

Ji An activated the first level of the Blood God Body technique, opened his mouth and inhaled, a torrent of crimson blood essence, like magma, enveloped by divine power, continuously surging into his body.

"Laugh--!

The moment the essence entered his body, Ji An felt as if he had swallowed a burning flame.

If he hadn't cultivated the "Crimsonbright Nine Heavens Diagram," which enhanced his physical body, and hadn't already reached the Myriad Phenomena level, this power would have been enough to instantly burst apart an ordinary Violet Palace Cultivator.

Ji An fully activated the Blood God Body technique.

The Crimsonbright divine power was refining this external, violent force. He could clearly feel his essence blood being forcibly extracted and transformed into the purest "blood essence," which was then integrated into his body.

Skin, muscles, fascia, bones, and internal organs—under the transformation of blood essence, mysterious changes begin to occur.

Bone density is increasing, muscle fibers are becoming stronger, and faint reddish lines are flowing beneath the skin.

The core of the first level of cultivation lies in "blood tempering," using exotic blood essence as fire and oneself as a furnace to temper a body far exceeding its original strength.

Bottles of the Violet Palace Mansion Realm essence blood were rapidly refined and absorbed by Ji An.

Inside the cave, his body was like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring countless essences and blood.

His body surface was sometimes fiery red, sometimes icy blue, and sometimes covered with a layer of rock-like bluish-gray, which were the external manifestations of different kinds of blood essence during the tempering process.

Each time he finished refining his essence and blood, he could feel a noticeable increase in the strength of his physical body.

Three days later.

Time slipped away unnoticed amidst the selfless cultivation. When the last bottle of the Violet Palace Mansion Realm essence blood was completely refined and absorbed, the Blood God Body...

The first level has finally been completed!

Ji An felt his blood and qi surge like mercury, his skin smooth as jade yet faintly glowing with precious light. With a gentle clench of his fist, the air exploded with a loud bang.

At this moment, in terms of physical defense alone, he already possesses the strength of Human Rank magic weapon.

Without the slightest pause, Ji An immediately began his attempt to break through to the second level – "Condensing Qi and Forging Bones".

This time, it's the essence blood of the Myriad Phenomena Manifestations Realm.

The immense blood and energy of the Myriad Phenomena far surpasses that of the Violet Palace Essence Blood.

When essence and blood enter the body, it's like a river bursting its banks!

The Will Impact of the Great Demon of the Myriad Phenomena Realm instantly increased the difficulty of cultivation by more than tenfold!

Ji An's bones cracked and popped, as if they were being repeatedly hammered by an invisible giant hammer.

However, this pain and Will Impact were like a gentle breeze to Ji An, who was at the tenth level of the Crimsonbright Nine Heavens Diagram and at the peak of his Divine Sense.

The divine power of the Crimsonbright Nine Heavens Diagram acts like Sea God, firmly protecting the core essence, while the Blood God Body technique is like the most efficient machine, refining the incoming power and integrating it into Ji An's body.

As time passed, bottle after bottle of precious Myriad Phenomena Essence Blood was consumed.

As the power of the last drop of Myriad Phenomena Essence Blood merged into his body, Ji An's body trembled violently!

Buzz!

The second level of the Blood God Body – Condensing Evil and Forging Bones – has been perfectly achieved!

At this moment, Ji An's physical body alone is comparable to an Earth Rank magic weapon.

Its power, defense, and recovery ability have all reached the pinnacle that an ordinary Myriad Phenomena Godfiend could achieve.

The divine and demonic physique granted by the "Crimsonbright Nine Heavens Diagram" complemented each other, making his physical strength reach an extremely terrifying level.

If I were to encounter an attack of the level of "Blood Fiend Adept" again, I could easily withstand it with my physical body alone, without even suffering minor injuries.

"Now, we're on the third level." Ji An's gaze fell on the three drops of dark golden blood essence that emanated an astonishing pressure.

The third level is called "Merging with God and Shaping the Meridians," which enables the physical body to initially possess the characteristics of "Immortal," thus entering the level of Heaven Rank Magic Treasure.

A single drop of the essence blood of Primordial Spirit cultivator contains a portion of the Life Origin and Primordial Spirit Demon. Its energy level and Will Impact are far beyond what any Myriad Phenomena can compare to.

Ji An's expression was solemn. He used his divine power to envelop the three drops of dark golden essence blood and carefully sent them into his body.

Boom-!

The three drops of essence blood entering the abdomen were like igniting a Stars within the body.

"Snort!"

Ji An grunted, his eyes blazing with divine light. The divine power of the Crimsonbright Nine Heavens Diagram was used to suppress the rampaging energy; his Divine Sense was desperately resisting the invasion of his Primordial Spirit's will.

The combined power of the three drops of Primordial Spirit blood was like three torrents converging into a raging tsunami.

Ji An's body was under unimaginable pressure.

Pale golden blood began to seep from his seven orifices.

"Break it!!"

Ji An roared from the depths of his soul, pushing his Crimsonbright divine power and Divine Sense to their limits!

Click!

It's as if something has broken!

A deafening roar resounded throughout his soul, like the roar of Pangu creating the Heaven and Earth. The consciousness that Ji An had been resisting with all his might suddenly weakened considerably. Even though Ji An had his eyes closed and was manipulating his Divine Sense to resist the invasion of the blood essence's will, he could now clearly see everything around him.

It's as if--

Ji An now has another pair of eyes.

Of course, it wouldn't be wrong to say it's the eyes.

"Divine Consciousness!" Ji An realized, "I didn't expect it to have reached this level."

This means that Ji An's soul has reached a new level—the soul level of a Primordial Spirit Daoist, Heaven Opening Eye and manifesting Divine Consciousness!
