Chapter 10: The Bloodbath of Demons

The mountains and forests, having endured battle, are in disarray. Only the pure moon in the sky and the occasionally blowing cool mountain breeze can provide a fleeting sense of tranquility and depth.

Of course, Chu Yun was extremely delighted. Regardless, the level of his son's cultivation had already exceeded his expectations. According to Chu Yun's initial plan, it would have been satisfactory if his son could barely reach the realm of a low-grade one-star Soul Warrior. As for why there was such a significant increase, there were certainly hidden reasons, but Chu Yun was unaware of them

Only by reaching a higher realm can one achieve faster progress. For example, a low-grade two-star novice warrior possesses 2000 points of star soul power

What actually permeates into the skin is not the essence of blood, but the demonic aura contained within it. As this aura is increasingly absorbed by Chuxiong, the dark red of the blood essence gradually transforms into bright red and light red. Eventually, it becomes a viscous, transparent substance resembling glue, no longer cold and devoid of any utility

The biting cold enveloped his entire body, causing Chuxiong to shiver involuntarily. Amidst the pervasive chill, waves of breath surged through the pores of his skin, wildly rushing into his body. At that moment, Chuxiong felt as if his skin were merely a layer of gauze, utterly incapable of blocking the infiltration of the demon's blood essence into his being

Having shed his beast skin clothing, Chuxiong once again settled on the bluestone. Chuyun then utilized a surge of star soul power to forcibly shatter the mass of blood essence. It was evident that this viscous mass of blood essence appeared soft, yet the toughness of its surface was undoubtedly beyond that of materials like beef tendons

Before his reincarnation, he took away a trace of the innate divine ability of the ancient beast Tianhong within that vast cave! This innate divine ability accompanied him through his reincarnation and became a part of his bodily functions

Wow! A burst of essence spilled from Chuxiong's head, instantly drenching his entire body

This strength is estimated to be equivalent to an intensity of 1500 points of Star Soul Power. To meet the standard for a low-grade one-star soul weapon, one needs a thousand points of Star Soul Power. In other words, although Chuxiong was unable to draw upon Star Soul Power, he still managed to unleash a force comparable to that of a high-grade one-star soul weapon through the sheer toughness of his physical body

After resting for a moment, Chuxiong slowly got up. Although there was still some unbearable pain in his bones, his curiosity about how much his physical strength had truly improved grew even stronger.

Without the proficient and fluid breath to stimulate the heart method, how could an ordinary martial artist possibly endure the torment of demon crystal bone refining and demon blood body bathing like Chu Yun

However, he also discovered that as the blood infused with demonic energy flowed to a certain area, the muscles there experienced significant enhancement. Not only was the strength increased, but the toughness also saw a substantial improvement.

At this moment, Chuxiong, if combined with his seemingly endless and highly ranked killing techniques, can at least be considered to have greater means of self-preservation

Is this still blood? It is said that blood is warm, and even though this creature has been dead for an hour, such a massive body should still maintain a certain temperature. However, this so-called blood essence is chillingly cold. According to the sayings of my previous life, this temperature has definitely dropped below freezing!

Before the celestial hound, if it is a tiger, you must lie down; if it is a dragon, you must coil up

Forcefully expelling all the vital energy, a kind of explosive power swells within each meridian. Poised and ready, then comes a full-force punch.

It is important to understand that in the Soul Martial Realm, those who are truly qualified, or rather, dare to do so, are generally Soul Warriors whose levels are not far from that of the monsters. For instance, a four-star Soul Warrior typically absorbs the demon crystals and blood essence of five-ring beast demons. If one were to forcibly devour the six-ring beast demons, it is likely that problems would arise, resulting in a situation that is not worth the cost.

This is the blood essence of a great demon, which is indeed an excellent substance for enhancing the strength of flesh and blood. Chu Yun said, "By bathing in it, allowing it to permeate into one's skin, and then flowing along the blood vessels, it can nourish the muscles throughout the entire body, how wonderful!"

When the Celestial Hound appears, all beasts are subdued—be it the primordial giant dragon or the fire phoenix of the nine heavens

Struggling to hold on

Certainly, such opportunities are not available to everyone. Without the assistance of a rare powerhouse like Father Chuyun, how could an ordinary martial artist possibly obtain demon crystals and the essence of great demon blood

Generally speaking, within the same grand realm, the strength of the medium level is increased by 20% compared to the lower level, while the upper level is 20% stronger than the medium level. For example, the strength of a lower-level one-star soul weapon is typically 1,000 points of soul power. The medium one-star soul weapon is around 1,200 points, while the upper level is approximately 1,500 points

Overall, the pain from the demon blood bath was much lighter than that from the demon crystal bone refining, so Chu Xiong was able to endure it without too much effort

Impressive! Chuxiong looked at his iron fist with satisfaction. It seemed that the strength of his past life was returning in some way. In his previous life, he was able to exert effort to wield the Dragon Soul Profound Blade, which meant he once possessed a strength equivalent to at least 10,000 points of Star Soul Power. Although he was still far from the cultivation level of his past life, this was a promising sign

The strength of flesh and blood is still lacking a bit, haha! Chu Yun laughed heartily and said, "Come, come over here!"

Following his father, Chuxiong walked to the enormous corpse of Zhuqian. He then saw Chuyun strike down with a knife, slicing open Zhuqian's abdomen. Subsequently, he reached in with both hands and pulled out a mass of bloodied substance the size of a basin.

The reason why Chuxiong has been able to persevere is due to an even more important and fundamental reason

Bang! Crash

Before me stood a tree nearly one foot in diameter, which had been forcefully struck and broken in half! The tree crashed to the ground, and its leaves fell in a flurry.

Dizzy, the great demon truly possesses treasures all over! Chuxiong cannot help but exclaim that the benefits brought to him by Zhuojian are indeed comprehensive.

The effects of absorbing demon crystals and blood essence that are only one realm higher than oneself are naturally somewhat insignificant. Unlike Chu Xiong, who, with merely the realm of a martial artist, directly devours and absorbs the demon crystals and blood essence of four-ringed beast demons

After those book spirits surged into his body, Chuxiong felt as if his bloodline was about to freeze. Only by forcibly mobilizing his internal energy could he raise his body temperature to ensure the circulation of blood. However, the flow rate had undoubtedly slowed significantly, and a sense of hypoxia and suffocation emerged, causing Chuxiong to feel almost dizzy

The only slight shortcoming is that the skin on the fist has already been scraped. The toughness of the bones seems to have exceeded the limits of flesh and blood. Hehe, Chuxiong gave a wry smile. Perhaps, nothing can be perfect in every way.

The innate divine ability of Tianhao is boundless devouring. Even the skull of a giant dragon is among its consumed possessions. Therefore, how could the demon crystals and blood essence of ordinary beast demons withstand it? Although the level of a four-ring beast demon is relatively high compared to Chuxiong, when it comes to quality, how could the ability of a mere four-ring beast demon contend with the formidable innate power of Tianhao

At this moment, his muscles and bones had already undergone a synchronized enhancement, and the overall strength of his physical body would naturally be further increased. According to Chuxiong's estimation, if he were to fully exert his strength at this time, it should be equivalent to over 1800 points of Star Soul Power

A martial artist who has not yet become a soul warrior possesses strength that approaches that of a two-star budding warrior, which can only be described as an extraordinary existence
