Chapter 438: Debt in Blood

Chapter 438: Debt in Blood

In the Divine Dawn Pavilion, inside the cultivation chamber, Yun Xiao was seated cross-legged on the ground.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! From within his body, a series of thunderous explosions erupted intermittently, giving off a sensation akin to the creation of the universe. Strands of white radiance were born within his flesh, making it seem from afar as though 99 blazing stars were arranged within his body!

This was the Primordial Martial Furnace. The stars functioned like an alternative form of Dantians, emerging within the muscles of Yun Xiao. Unlike the Dantian, which had a network of meridians, these Primordial Martial Furnaces could connect with each other through the muscles.

This was somewhat similar to the physical tempering methods of demons.

The difference, however, was that the power of the Primordial Martial Furnaces and the Primordial Sacred Wheel inside Yun Xiao's Dantian could communicate with each other. After all, both were born from the Primordial Void Technique!

The Primordial Martial Furnace was a part of the Primordial Void Technique.

As a result, Yun Xiao's body formed a power structure with the Dantian and meridian system as its core and the 99 star-like furnaces in his muscles as an auxiliary.

The latter greatly enhanced his close combat abilities and the strength of his flesh.

"In simple terms, my body alone now qualifies as a tri cultivator of sword, martial, and sigil disciplines."

These were all within the human cultivation system, unified within one body, which for Yun Xiao, was still considered normal. After all, he regarded himself as a true member of the human race.

"Having 99 Primordial Martial Furnaces, each ignited by a different type of Yang grade metallic material, is indeed quite extravagant." Thinking this, Yun Xiao couldn't help but laugh.

Earlier in the day, he couldn't even afford a Yin grade Gold Diamond Crystal. Now, at night, he'd utilized 99 types of Yang grade materials.

Now, each of his Primordial Martial Furnaces possessed unique minor characteristics, which, when combined, produced the best effect!

"The talents of the Seeds of Creation allow for self-integration and the strengthening of strong meridians. Having consumed so many Seeds of Creation recently, all have merged into my Nine Suns Dantian, Nine Heavens Star Meridians, and the Primordial Golden Core. The talent of my Mystic Golden Dao Embryo should now surpass that of Tian Zhixiu by more than ten times."

However, the Mystic Golden Dao Embryo was somewhat inferior compared to the Seeds of Creation absorbed from Ye Xingchen and Ling Chen, two chosen ones of destiny.

Yun Xiao had acquired many Meridian and Core type Seeds of Creation from the young geniuses of the Pathseeker Society. Yet, despite arriving in a higher realm like the Primordial Ruins, he still found these talents suppressed by the Nine Suns Dantian and Nine Heavens Star Meridians.

Yun Xiao didn't mind it, though. After all, these two talents were also significantly enhanced through the process of absorption!

"I am now in the Late Sacred Wheel Realm, capable of contending against someone in the Perfect Five Decays Realm without issue. However, facing someone like Dharma Crown Qin, who has perfectly endured all five tribulations of the Establishment Five Decays Realm, still requires some effort." Yun Xiao took a moment to regulate his breathing, then stepped outside only to find no one around.

"Where's Lian Xi?" he asked.

"She went to the Primordial Pagoda," a person in white robes replied.

"Oh." Yun Xiao nodded, then inquired further, "Is everything calm outside?"

The person in white robes hummed affirmatively, then said gravely, "For now, but perhaps a storm is brewing."

The Blood Devil Ruins...

The earth was putrid and strewn with corpses. Under the wash of blood, even the rocks and sand of this coastal area had turned blood-red.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Standing on the cliff, one could see below an endless black sea of blood, shrouded in mist, with the ceaseless wails of billions of wronged souls. From a human perspective, it was impossible to see just how vast this bloody hell truly was.

The terror of this sea of blood had spread across thousands of worlds for hundreds of years. The nearby worlds, capable of moving, had mostly evacuated, leaving only the suffering, who lived year-round under the shadow of blood and resentment, barely clinging to life.

"Chi Yang, come over!" Suddenly, a loud call came from the edge of the Blood Devil Ruins.

Several beams of light quickly moved towards the source of the voice. The speaker was Yun Jin, a young man in blue.

In a moment, several disciples of the Primordial Academy gathered around him. They appeared to have gone through several battles, their bodies stained with much blood, each of them covered in black scabs, even their eyebrows dripping blood.

"The blood resentment demon is here!" Yun Jin pointed towards a deep cave at the edge of the shore.

"Kill!" The tall and burly Martial Cultivator Chi Yang, leading the group of academy disciples, charged in.

Suddenly, a shrill scream echoed from within! That was the voice of the blood resentment demon.

The gap in strength was too vast!

"Despicable!" Chi Yang was well aware that cursing was useless now; their only hope was to get the recording of these events out!

"Break out!" The group, accustomed to fighting together, coordinated well. However, once the fight began, the difference in numbers and age meant they had no chance at all!

"Make it quick, let's go home after the slaughter," Xuan Meng said coldly.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Numerous Life Sigils formed a prison, oppressively descending from all directions at the edge of the Blood Devil Ruins.

"Born as protectors of the Dao, yet you do not slay demons but instead kill those who do. What kind of descendants of True Immortals are you? You are the true offspring of devils!" Chi Yang was uncontrollably furious, his rage and sorrow erupting in a roar.

"Hehehe..." The members of the Black Battalion merely sneered coldly, playing with their prey like a cat with a mouse.

"Pitiful, lamentable, boring." Xuan Meng, unabashed, mocked the righteousness of these passionate youths.

"Better to die and be liberated early." She scoffed coldly, directing the eight-headed serpent towards Chi Yang.

"Too mediocre. The top disciple of the Academy Faction isn't even comparable to Tian Zhixiu."

In truth, the Three Immortals Lineage didn't send their strongest descendants to study at the Primordial Academy. And Xuan Meng was far stronger than Tian Zhixiu.

"Die!"

Just as the Black Battalion was about to launch their attack, a massive tremor came from the direction of the Blood Devil Ruins.

BOOM! It seemed as if the entire sea of blood in the Blood Devil Ruins was trembling, as countless humongous jets of blood shot into the sky.

"What is that..." Both the Black Battalion and the disciples of the Primordial Academy were startled, halting their actions to look.

"There's a figure there!!"

Following their gaze, within the towering blood mist, there was a fiery and tall silhouette!

She floated in the air like a work of art, her face unclear, yet one could tell she possessed unparalleled beauty...

And the terrifying aura of a devil!

"Devil!!" Xuan Meng and the others lost their composure in shock. How could this be? This was a devil whose mere presence instilled fear in them.

"Leave!" Xuan Meng came to her senses and quickly ordered everyone to flee.

As soon as her words fell, she felt a lethal gaze land on her.

"Ah..." Xuan Meng looked up!

The unparalleled female devil, shrouded in bloodlight, was conjuring the entire ocean, appearing before her eyes.

"What is this..." Xuan Meng's delicate body trembled violently.

SMACK! The unparalleled female devil slapped her face.

"UGHH...!" Xuan Meng screamed as her head flew into the sky, landing in the Blood Devil Ruins Sea 300 miles away, while her silver-armored body still stood trembling in place.

"Run!!" The remaining members of the Black Battalion were terrified out of their wits.

PUFF! PUFF! PUFF! The unparalleled female devil extended her hand, and countless drops of blood shot out, transforming into blood dragons that instantly swallowed all the silver-armored cultivators, melting them into bloodwater.

"Uh..." Chi Yang and the others stared in shock, the orbs in their hands dropping to the ground.

The unparalleled and indistinctly faced female devil glanced at Chi Yang and his group coldly and said, "Go back and tell the Primordial Ruins, we've come to claim the debt in blood..."
