The moment Mike used Blood Orb-Blood World, he was completely stunned when the entire body of the tiger transformed into a stream of blood and qi. This was the first time he had used the Blood Orb-Blood World.
When he used the Blood Orb, he found he can't use it on the opponent that are alive. So, he created Blood Orb-Blood World based on the principle of Yin-Yang Dual Enlightenment State. Creating a massive black hole with the power of blood and to suck the blood.
If his opponent isn't stronger than him, he can easily absorb the blood of the opponent. With this tiger, the case was a little different. Mike was weak if the tiger uses his Qi. But, without Qi, the tiger was weaker than Mike.
And, if Mike tries to absorb the blood, the tiger could still use the Qi to heal himself and even transform his whole body into Qi. This is what he noticed when he first slashed the arms of the tiger. Except for Darkness Swallow, he didn't have any skill to devour the Qi.
And, to use Darkness Swallow, he must touch the tiger. That's why he was struggling hard to make the tiger bleed so hard. He knew the tiger wasn't willing to transform his entire body into Qi. So, he wanted the tiger to merge his Qi with the blood.
Now, he can absorb the blood and Qi at the same time. Whenever he absorbs the blood, his Qi will be absorbed alongside. Even though the amount of Qi is massive, the entire body which stores the Qi has been merged with the blood.
So, as long as he absorbs every drop of blood in it, he can absorb the massive amount of Qi. But, he was surprised when the tiger transformed into blood. But, suddenly he noticed the seal following alongside the blood.
"Ahhhhhh! Human, you will die horribly. I will live. I will devour your mind. I will let you feel the taste of despair."
The tiger's voice rang from the blood as it got stored in the blood orb. The blood orb was inside his core. But, suddenly he noticed something. When he tried to store the blood inside the blood orb, he found the amount of blood was multiplied by the Qi.
It bursts out of the blood orb and spread through his core. But, it didn't stick inside the core rather moved out of the core and spread through his body.
"Ahhhh!"
Mike screamed in pain as his body started burning. The Qi and the blood of the tiger were too intense to contain. The anger flashed in his eyes when the Qi affected his mind. But, suddenly the chaos spirit appeared once again.
"Hahaha! I told you. I will devour you. Even if you have Chaos, it can't protect you from the soul." Suddenly, the tiger's laughter burst out of his mind. But, Mike was completely calm. Instead of focusing on the tiger, he used Immemorial Perfect Sword Body Technique.
Since the tiger didn't have any control over it now, he could easily control it. But, the amount was still insane. With the help of the Immemorial Perfect Sword Body Technique, he was able to control it and move it to his blood.
As his blood absorbs the vitality, his dantian absorbs the remaining Qi. But, something else was happening to his body as well. The blood and qi released from the blood orb were too much. It was constantly absorbed by his own body.
It wasn't specific to a certain part but it was absorbed through his cells. But, Mike had no idea about the other evolution whatsoever. He was completely focused on his cultivation. It was rising too fast.
From the third stage to the fourth, then to the fifth. Although it was fast, in real-time ten hours had already passed when he stopped his cultivation. It had reached the peak of the ninth stage. And, the tiger's remaining spirit was destroyed by the Anti-Mind Control Spell as well.
Not only that, he even got a new physique. It was called 'Destiny Star Spirit Physique'. It was simply the embodiment of the qi. Now, he can absorb the qi as much as he wants and keep it throughout his body just the tiger.
He can also use this physique to understand the laws better. And more importantly, he also got the memories of the tiger. It seems some people had sealed the tiger in this place. This seal was called the 'Eternal Seal of Heaven'.
Once this seal is cast, it can't be undone. The physical body loses all of its ability and the soul can't escape. Unless the tiger is killed, the seal won't be lifted. The problem is those people couldn't kill this tiger because his existence was the reason why heaven and earth share the qi.
Once the tiger dies, heaven and earth will no longer share qi with the universe. That's why those people only sealed him even though he slaughtered dozens of worlds and trillions of people. Now, the world no longer has the tiger.
But, the qi is still present which means it wasn't the tiger rather its ability to become the spirit of qi. Now, with that physique, Mike was the spirit of qi. He can command qi to the extent that he can even block the qi in many worlds and move that qi to another world.
Even so, this wasn't the best reward for that hard work. He was rewarded with an evolution. The biggest evolution he could hope for. His Pioneer Physique improved once again. And, he got another ability and a chance to create a skill.
This ability was called Inner World. It allows him to form a world that will be under his control. He can create anything he wishes for inside that world. He can even allow the water to burn. He can do anything without any need for energy to support it.
In fact, he can create his own world filled with different civilizations. When this thought came to his mind, he suddenly remembered Alena. After all, that girl wanted to create a civilization and become the goddess.
He was planning to ask her.
But, the good things came with the bad. Although he gained an evolution of his pioneer physique, his cores and element once again got devoured inside the universe. It felt like it was telling Mike not to use it.
Although Mike didn't know the reason when he found the extreme reaction of the universe to take back the cores and elements, he knew the threat was greater than he could ever imagine. It seemed he only got those back for the battle.
He still had a massive amount of blood in his core. Everything doesn't seem bad but one thing was bothering him.
[Your EXP has been full! Would you like to level up?]
Mike was bothered by this. According to Zemin, he can't reach the Martial Artist realm without a martial soul. To make the martial soul, he needs to use the essence released after merging the spiritual qi threads and vitality with the spiritual roots.
He does have the concept of three elements. So, he wasn't having any problem with it. But, to form a martial soul, he must call for the dead soul or spirit.
Suddenly, an idea rang in his mind. His lips curved and form a smile. He clicks on yes. The next moment, the space concept got released on its own. The devouring force of the sword increased as it sucked the vitality merged with the blood.
That vitality once again got merged with those threads. Now, his space concept covered the entire sword and those spirit threads and started merging them. Normally, it requires deep attention and comprehension to use the concept to merge them.
Because concept can generate force but we need to control that force. In Mike's case, his system was controlling the force on its own. At the same time, Mike felt his body changing a little. Blue energy was released out of his body and it spreads out wildly.
Mike didn't move from his position. He didn't know how much time seems to have passed. After a long time, a figure floated in front of him. This figure was a sword. It was a golden sword with dark stripes on it.
"Yawn! Is that the Immemorial Perfect Sword Body Technique? Did he also join the sect created by the master? But, why does he possess Destiny Star Spirit Physique? I thought only spirits are capable of inheriting this physique."
"But, this explains why he was able to summon me. Hmm! I think I can choose him. After losing my body, all I have is my thought. I thought I could follow the young master but it seems he has already left this world as well."
"Well, he did only visit this place because Three Swords created this sect. But, it was still bad to put me here to guard that sect. With the protection of the Three Swords, who can truly threaten that sect?"
"Humph! I will no longer guard this sect. I want to see the higher world as well. With the Destiny Star Spirit Physique and Immemorial Perfect Sword Body Technique, this kid has the potential to chase three swords and a young master. But, I will do my best to train him."
"Alright kid, it's your luck that I chose to be your Martial Soul."
After a few minutes of blabbering, the sword finally entered Mike's body. But as soon as he entered his sea of consciousness, the sword shouted.
"Holy shit! Can this even be true?"
