Chapter 101 - Cultivating Blood Energy (2)

As soon as the wisps of blood began to enter into the Ordinary Blood Symbols in his dantian, they began to gradually grow from their dim and dull states into brightly illuminated states.

Not long, ten of the Blood Symbols in his dantian became filled with the blood that flowed into his body through his pores. And as the solid, blood-red symbols floating in his dantian became filled with blood, a powerful energy that was surprisingly calm but concealed a type of great power within them, began to brew.

Xiao Lin who could feel the power starting to swell within those 10 Blood Symbols in his dantian gave a delighted smile.

He then placed more effort on moving blood from his body into the Blood Symbols.

...

About 6 days later, he was able to make about 19 Blood Symbols in his dantian to grow from their poor dim state into brilliantly lit state. And once these occurred, Xiao Lin felt strong currents of power beginning to pulsate about within the Blood Symbols.

But at this moment, he had actually used up all the blood from the headless corpses of the cultivators that he killed many hours ago.

He then stood to his feet to move further into the distance. However, before he would do so, he used a particular technique from the Divinity-Annihilating Primal Blood Flame battle art to set the heads of the cultivators and their headless corpses on fire.

Once he did so, he furrowed his brows as he started to think of something.

He then said inwardly 'Now that I am largely many days away from reaching the other cultivators that came into this place, and I have been able to replenish my Blood Energy to a certain extent, I should try using that powerful evasion technique from the Heavenly Blood Marauder Unparalleled Blur Flash technique to move at a really high speed so that I can catch up with them.'

Immediately he produced this thought within his mind, he instantly shot forward to catch up with the rest of them.

...

Three days later...

After running for about three days using the Movement Skills that he had, he finally came across many group of people who also seemed to be rogue cultivators.

"These rogue cultivators are meh. What are they always doing at the back?" Xiao Lin couldn't help but ask when he saw them.

He then continued "The disciples from those sects will take all the wealth and lifetime accumulations of the Azure Firestorm Archer for himself."

But once he said this, he furrowed his brows as a new thought came to his mind 'And maybe they don't want to battle the various sects' disciples here for the Azure Firestorm Archer's wealth. Perhaps out of fear that the disciples know more powerful attacking skills and could slay them. So, they would instead settle for the scraps and leftovers from the Azure Firestorm Archer's accumulations.'

Then when he arrived behind one of the numerous groups of rogue cultivators here, the group who he appeared behind at turned their heads to look at what had suddenly appeared behind them. Then when they saw Xiao Lin, their eyes widened with shock."

"Brat, where did you fall from?" One of them who was looking at Xiao Lin with surprise in his eyes asked.

"Nah. I have been around at the back." Xiao Lin responded.

"Really? And why's that?" The person asked.

"Just taking my time to cultivate." Xiao Lin answered.

"Hmm... I see... But your activity could have caused you to miss out on the wealth of the Azure Firestorm Archer" The person stated.

"Yea, I know that. But I am here now" Xiao Lin replied.

"Hmm. Alright" The person said.

Still looking at Xiao Lin, the person said "I can see that even as you are rogue cultivator, you hold this frightening power within you. You must be a rare rogue cultivator. So, would you like to join our group?

"Join? Nah! I am not here for that. I am here for something more important" Xiao Lin answered indifferently.

"Hmm. Okay then." The person said in a noticeable unhappy tone, as the invitation that he offered Xiao Lin into his small group of rogue cultivators had just been ruthlessly declined by him, thereby destroying his face before his colleagues

He then asked with anger beginning to swell within his heart "So, what important thing are you here for then?"

Then he said further with a great sense of absolute wrath in his tone "Brat, it must make sense to me, or you will deeply regret you ever came across me."

Hahaha!

Once he said that, Xiao Lin only suddenly laughed in an uncontrolled wild manner like he was abruptly possessed by a laughing demon. And this caused the person before him, the cultivators in the group that he was in, and then the other groups in this part of the region to begin to look at Xiao Lin with intensely bewildered expressions in their faces.

Then with a serious gaze appearing in Xiao Lin's eyes in the next moment, he said with a frightening chilly voice "I am here to take your delectable bloods to feed my Blood Symbols. They have all grown weak and dim like there is no vibrancy within them again. So, I need to feed them your bloods so that they can become luxuriant and vibrant again."

Xiao Lin stated directly and caused great surprise to appear in the faces of the people in the numerous groups looking at him with bewildered gazes in their eyes.

"What?"

The person that was before him asked with his head beginning to ring at what Xiao Lin just unbelievably spat out.

Xiao Lin only nodded his head with a smile appearing in his face.

He then said "Yea, you heard me right."

Then as soon as he said this, the atmosphere around them became heavy and filled with tension.

However, as the atmosphere became filled with heaviness that weighed down upon their hearts and souls, one of them who was at the 3rd-layer Mortal Spiritual stage said "Don't tell me that you guys are actually frightened by what a boy at the first-layer Mortal Spiritual stage said?"

Immediately he said that, Xiao Lin who was trying to achieve something with what he said, simply produced a slight smile in his face.

He then spoke to the person that talked last with a cold glint surfacing in his eyes "Well, we would see soon if I can't do anything about them."

Then as soon as he said that, he suddenly dashed out at a great speed towards the person that he talked to.

Then the instant that he appeared before the person whom he targeted, he quickly struck out with his razor-sharp claws towards the person's chest.

Bang!

Puchi!

Like a hot knife through butter, his really sharp claws that could pierce through steel like it were wet paper, easily penetrated through the person's chest despite the common-grade, chest armor that he was wearing.

Then when he pulled out his fist, the beating heart of the person could be seen in his hand. And as soon as he extracted the person's heart, he quickly stowed it away into one of the numerous spatial rings in his high-grade spatial ring.

The person before him who had a fist-sized hole in his chest and which revealed what was behind him, instantly collapsed dead to the ground with blood starting to gush out rapidly from the hole that Xiao Lin made into the left area of his chest.

"See! I am not joking. I am simply here to kill you all and take your blood so that I can feed myself." Xiao Lin said with a serious expression in his face as he looked at them.

He then continued "That was why I entered this legacy ground in the first place. And to my delight, I have been able to successfully acquire what I want."

"Then for your information, I have killed many cultivators at the back. Maybe five hundred of six hundred of them. However, I think it took me an entire month to take them down, I guess. But anyways, their blood have now transformed into overwhelming currents of a peculiar type of energy in my dantian"

Xiao Lin who was noticeably enjoying himself as he said this, didn't fail to take note of the subtle changes that happened to their expressions.

Immediately Xiao Lin made that last statement, the rest of the people in the different group had their body shaken by fear before cold and vicious light began to appear in each of their narrowed eyes in the next moment. And as soon as this type of light shone from within their eyes, stifling auras of unbridled killing intent began to erupt from within their bodies.

Then one of them, a cultivator at the forth-layer Mortal Spiritual stage, suddenly came out of his group and abruptly aimed out one of his palms at Xiao Lin.

Then once he did so, a stream of orange-colored Spiritual Energy abruptly erupted out of it in large amount before instantly transforming into a massive orange axe that had dozens of profound inscriptions in it surface and began to brim with power to sunder all things in it path.
