Chapter 655: Build a blood pool, break the ninth level, ten thousand paths end, Dao body hidden

What kind of situation is Black King in now?

According to Luo Chen's careful examination over the past few months, he has already understood.

The physical injury is extremely severe, almost reaching the stage where it cannot be reshaped.

The demon core is shattered, and hundreds of years of bitter cultivation of demon power are either scattered or integrated into the broken bones.

The soul is extinguished, like a little lamp flame, swaying and about to fall.

Such injuries, in anyone's view, are no different from a dying state.

In fact, it is normal to have such injuries.

The power of that Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure explosion, even with the reduction of the Pill Hall formation, is not something Black King can face head-on, even if it is just an aftermath.

If it weren't for his good foundation, plus soaking in the Plastic Spirit Holy Spring, and Luo Chen protecting him once after the flesh Nirvana ended, Black King would have fallen in the Pill Hall on the spot.

After the serious injury, Black King instinctively fell into a hibernation state by the method of the cliff snake.

The soul that was about to be extinguished was also preserved.

But, that's all.

To want to recover, relying on himself is definitely impossible.

Under such circumstances, Luo Chen's various medical skills only repaired a tiny bit of his physical injuries.

Even, in the eyes of Tianxuan who was watching from the side, even if Luo Chen saved Black King, the other party would be no different from a useless person.

Without him!

The demon core is shattered, and there is no possibility of continuing the Great Dao.

But to say not to save, Tianxuan couldn't bear it; the two demons joined Luo Chen's sect one after another, and although they didn't get along well, they were friends after all.

Luo Chen also considered a lot here.

Black King is a good helper for him, and he invested a lot of resources to cultivate Black King before.

It's a pity to abandon him now.

Especially, the loyalty Black King showed at the last moment...

"Build a blood pool first!"

Luo Chen muttered, and had already made a decision.

To save Black King, the previous him had no way, the overall injury was too heavy.

But after experiencing the Pill Hall inheritance, he really found a way in the past three months of searching through classics.

The Pill Hall inheritance, besides the Heaven-Refining Cauldron, still has seventy-two volumes of pill books, thirty-six pill formulas, and three mysterious and miraculous pill formulas sealed: Calm Spirit, Perceive Void, and Merge Dao.

Among them, those seventy-two volumes of pill books and pill formulas have no restrictions.

Under Luo Chen's browsing, he had a vague concept.

These pill books and pill formulas cover the three races of humans, demons, and demons!

There are subdivisions, but more are the gaps in grade.

Take the twelve pill formulas related to the human race, they are divided from the Qi Refining stage to the Nascent Soul stage, and each realm is divided into three types. The Spirit Root Pill formula in the Pill World assessment is also among them, but it needs to be more complete.

And the three types of pill formulas for each realm have different uses.

Breakthrough-type pills, cultivation-type pills, and the remaining one has different effects, covering many aspects such as assistance, healing, hanging life, breaking obstacles, clearing the heart, calming the spirit, and even poison pills.

The human race is like this, and the twelve pill formulas of the demon race are also like this.

Among them, there is a fourth-rank blood pill method that has the effect of reshaping the body, healing, and changing blood.

However, to refine this pill, the first thing to do is to build a blood pool!

As for how to build it, Luo Chen already has a general idea in his heart.

Three days later.

Sang Jinghe looked at the huge concave pit that was ten zhang long and wide with pain.

This is one of the few fourth-rank spiritual soil areas on Dragon Abyss Island!

He was ready to cut it open and plan it into pieces of spiritual fields to specifically plant some rare medicinal herbs.

But now, it was forcibly refined by Demon Lord Qingyang with true fire, supplemented by other mineral materials, and built into a pool that looked like glaze.

What is this pool prepared to be used for?

Luo Chen looked at the pool under his feet quietly, and suddenly opened his mouth:

"Jinghe, aren't you troubled by the ubiquitous Dragon Earthworms affecting your transplanting of Dragon Saliva Grass?"

Sang Jinghe was stunned for a moment and nodded subconsciously.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "That's just right; today I will solve this trouble for you!"

Sang Jinghe was surprised; could it be that Senior Luo has already thought of a way to arrange a shielding formation?

However, the next moment, the other party's actions made his heart feel cold.

Only to see him no longer suppressing his aura, releasing it all.

An aura like a prehistoric beast permeated in an instant, rushing in all directions.

In just a blink of an eye, it had the posture of covering the small peninsula island.

Not only that, Luo Chen stomped his foot!

Boom!

Layers of giant force were transmitted into the depths of the earth vein.

Like an earthquake, Dragon Abyss Island began to tremble.

Under the cooperation of this aura and vibration, countless Dragon Earthworms hidden on Dragon Abyss Island felt like the end of the world, and they could no longer hide in the mud and rock layers, crawling out of the earth one after another. 【65

Rustle...

Rustle...

As far as the eye could see, there were gray, long worms, wandering the earth in a panic.

Such a scene made one physically uncomfortable, almost to the point of vomiting!

Yet, Luo Chen's expression was incomparably calm.

He simply raised both hands!

A cyan-gold speck of light slowly emerged from behind him, flames flickering and branches extending.

In an instant, a cyan fire tree appeared, floating in the air.

Dreamlike and illusory, it shone brilliantly.

This cyan fire tree had restrained power; there was no high temperature, nor was there the irritable heat of flames.

Yet, the moment it appeared, countless dragon earthworms became agitated and restless, subconsciously fleeing outside Long Yuan Island.

That was the soul's instinctive fear!

However, it was already too late.

With a thought from Luo Chen, the fire tree flew high into the sky as if it had a spirit, and then its branches extended, sending out clusters of sparks that drifted down like willow catkins.

Countless dragon earthworms, all those touched by them, stood frozen on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen revealed a satisfied smile.

The Wither-Prosper True Fire had, unknowingly, grown to such a point.

The strange fire took form, giving birth to a true spirit!

If Luo Chen hadn't deliberately suppressed it, the spirit of this fire could have instantly become filled with autonomous will, just like the source-less fire spirits in the Blazing Prison.

But for now, Luo Chen didn't have that intention.

He himself hadn't advanced to the Nascent Soul stage; if his own true fire had a free will, it would easily become a case of the guest bullying the host.

It could only be said to wait for now!

Wait until he breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm!

At that time, once he achieves the Nascent Soul stage, the cluster of true fire in his hand can have some restrictions lifted, and combined with its own terrifying foundation, it will surely become a major killing move in Luo Chen's hands!

But for the present, the power of the Wither-Prosper True Fire was enough to threaten the Nascent Soul stage; these hundreds of thousands of low-level dragon earthworms were instantly suppressed.

"Tianxuan, Jinghe, go and bring back all those dragon earthworms suppressed by my true fire."

"As you command!"

"Yes!"

The two flew out without hesitation, wandering Long Yuan Island, bringing back the dragon earthworms that were still alive one by one.

They were only suppressed by the sparks of the Wither-Prosper True Fire, but they were not dead.

From this, one could also see that Luo Chen's fire-control technique was superb, having reached the level of being able to control it as he pleased, down to the finest detail!

At first, they didn't understand Luo Chen's plan.

But after seeing Luo Chen kill the dragon earthworms one by one and pour their turbid blood into the glazed pool, they vaguely understood something.

Hundreds of thousands of dragon earthworms—even if left for people to kill, one would be exhausted to death.

But with the three of them working together, it took only a few days to wipe them all out.

A pool of blood, incomparably foul-smelling, appeared before the three.

"It's really too wasteful. If these dragon earthworms were utilized well, it would be enough to make a sect flourish." Sang Jinghe was incomparably regretful; he hadn't expected that Luo Chen's solution to the dragon earthworm problem wasn't an array, but rather solving the very thing that caused the problem.

Tianxuan didn't have any thoughts. "Long Yuan Island is very large, and the low-level dragon earthworms hidden within number in the tens of millions; these are only a few hundred thousand."

Luo Chen said nothing, throwing various medicinal herbs into it.

Afterward, in front of the two, he threw the main body of the sleeping Black King into it as well.

The turbid blood bubbled and bubbled, completely submerging the Black King.

Tianxuan couldn't help but ask, "Master, just soaking like this, will the Black King be okay?"

"Not enough!"

Luo Chen shook his head.

"The Black King's injuries are too severe; this little bit of stuff is still not enough to heal him. Next, when you have free time, go catch more second-tier dragon earthworms, draw their blood, and put it into the blood pool. Also, after your injuries are healed, sweep the surroundings, and if you encounter a third-tier Demon King, kill it and bring it back."

Tianxuan didn't decline, only worrying that her own strength was insufficient.

She was currently at the mid-stage of Core Formation, and relying on that top-grade magic treasure, the Nine-Wind Banana Fan, she dared to fight a Great Demon King, but wanting to kill it and bring back the corpse, that was a bit difficult.

Regarding this, Luo Chen had long anticipated it.

"Take this fire!"

Luo Chen pointed his finger, and three cyan fire seeds detached from the fire tree, slowly sinking into Tianxuan's brow.

"If you encounter someone you cannot defeat, just activate this fire."

"Alright, you two go down first!"

After speaking, Luo Chen dismissed those around him.

After the two left, Luo Chen sat cross-legged before the glazed blood pool, his expression resolute.

He bit the tip of his tongue lightly.

A drop of essence blood from the tip of his tongue slowly flew out.

Drip!

The crimson blood drop fell into the blood pool.

In an instant, it was like boiling oil entering water; the quiet blood pool emitted crackling sounds.

Black King's body appeared and disappeared within this crackling sound.

When this rejection reaction gradually faded, the originally turbid color mixed from the large amount of dragon earthworm blood became incomparably bright red.

"For a mere spirit pet, you are quite willing to expend your vital energy."

I don't know when, but someone was already standing quietly beside Luo Chen.

That person's face was pale, appearing both dead and alive, bearing quite a resemblance to Han Zhan's original appearance.

"Why did you come?"

Han Zhan chuckled. "You made such a big commotion before, I couldn't not come!"

Luo Chen slowly stood up and looked at "Han Zhan."

"How have you adapted to this body?"

Han Zhan stretched his muscles and bones, smacking his lips.

"It's still early. Feiyunzi's realm is different from mine, and his spiritual root attributes are also different. Especially after years of cultivation, the paths of the meridians in the body and the number of opened acupoints are also very different. I am currently just a Nascent Soul occupying the Purple Mansion; it's far from being a perfect possession. According to my estimation, it will take at least ten years to perfectly adapt to this body and exert my peak strength."

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

"Let's not talk about me first. You made such a big move, building such a Four-Spirit Blood Pool, can you really save the Black King?"

Luo Chen said in a low voice, "Take it one step at a time. First, resolve the physical trauma, and then solve other problems. As for the soul, I might have to trouble you, Senior, when the time comes."

"I don't mind." Han Zhan tried to stroke a beard that didn't exist, froze for a moment, then lowered his hand and put it behind his back. "It's you, you should be preparing to break through to the ninth level of Core Formation, and then attempt the Nascent Soul realm!"

"Exactly."

"Since that's the case, you squeezed out your heart blood before, and now you've expended vital energy to squeeze out a drop of tongue-tip blood; aren't you afraid of shaking your foundation!"

Regarding this, Luo Chen smiled slightly.

"That won't trouble you, Senior. Since Luo Mou dares to do this, naturally I have the confidence not to delay my cultivation."

Luo Chen indeed had this confidence!

A person's essence blood originates from the mixture of magic power and physical blood, and it also contains rich vitality within it.

Ordinary people simply wouldn't dare to consume essence blood recklessly.

But Luo Chen didn't have this worry.

After he consumed the main body of the Taisui, the vitality within it was terrifyingly peerless; even after Luo Chen used it to complete his physical nirvana, he still hadn't completely digested it.

Now, wasting a mere few drops of essence blood, apart from slightly damaging his magic power, really didn't affect him too much.

Moreover, this Four-Spirit Blood Pool indeed required powerful blood as the main ingredient.

Looking at the resources in his hand, only the essence blood produced by Luo Chen's body, which was comparable to a wild beast, could be called powerful.

"Alright, as long as you know what you're doing." Han Zhan shrugged unnaturally and walked down the mountain.

Looking at his back, Luo Chen frowned.

The other party first touched his beard and stopped abruptly, and then shrugged unnaturally, which shows that his control over the body is not very satisfactory. However, is it so difficult to possess a body?

You must know that Feiyunzi's Nascent Soul had already been crushed by him.

It was just an empty body; with Han Zhan's ability, he couldn't control it naturally after several months?

Luo Chen thought for a while, finally activated the array to cover the blood pool, and returned to the abyss thatched cottage alone.

Feeling the pure spiritual energy purified by the array, Luo Chen revealed a satisfied smile.

This is where the main vein of the fourth-tier spiritual vein is located!

The spiritual energy within is incomparably abundant.

At least from Luo Chen's knowledge, it is the most standard fourth-tier low-grade spiritual vein.

Logically speaking, Core Formation cultivators wouldn't dare to cultivate in such a rich environment.

It's like people needing water; a moderate amount of water quenches thirst, and abundant water resources allow one to swim, but if one is under the strong pressure of the deep sea, let alone swimming, one can't even open their mouth.

But all these laws were broken in Luo Chen's case.

A body comparable to a wild beast!

After reshaping, a fire-spirit body that can accommodate fire-attribute spiritual energy on a large scale!

Plus the master-level "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra"!

With the foundation of these three, Luo Chen completely dared to sit and cultivate in a fourth-tier spiritual vein at the Core Formation stage.

It can even be said that because of these many conditions, Luo Chen's cultivation speed has reached the fastest in history!

According to his estimation, it is at least three times faster than before leaving Penghu!

This kind of earth-shaking change is unimaginable to outsiders.

But compared to everything Luo Chen paid to achieve this cultivation speed, it was only natural.

Whether it's the wild beast body, the fire-spirit body, or even the master-level "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra," who in this world can achieve one or two of them?

Let alone a fourth-tier spiritual vein, it is by no means something a Core Formation cultivator can enjoy alone.

In Han Zhan's view, since Luo Chen now has such an excellent environment, both internally and externally, he should advance courageously and cultivate with concentration, in order to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

But Luo Chen didn't think so!

"In the Land of Fallen Demons, I soaked in that... Plastic Spirit Holy Spring, and my realm surged from the sixth level of Core Formation to the eighth level in one breath. At first glance, the foundation is still solid, without a feeling of emptiness. But in my heart, I feel like I'm sitting in a castle in the air, uneasy and anxious."

Luo Chen already knew the name of that miraculous spring water from the alchemy books left by the Demon Lord Liantian.

He was naturally amazed by its various miraculous effects.

If it weren't for the fact that Demon Lord Liantian didn't leave the alchemy formula for refining this spiritual spring, Luo Chen would even want to reproduce this spring water if he had the chance in the future.

Digressing.

Back to the topic.

The surge in realm made Luo Chen feel insecure.

This has nothing to do with the realm itself, but the sense of disparity in his state of mind.

Therefore, even with such an excellent cultivation environment, Luo Chen still suppressed his heart of advancing courageously.

"Let's hone it some more!"

Luo Chen muttered a sentence, operated his life-bound cultivation method, and entered deep-level cultivation.

The honing he spoke of was by no means as simple as just sitting and cultivating.

One point is the refinement of the purity of magic power!

The second golden core was shattered.

But Luo Chen had long been accustomed to the life of having double the magic power.

Because of his five-element spiritual root constitution, his magic power was several times that of his peers, and with the blessing of two golden cores, the gap was more than ten times!

This was also one of the foundations for Luo Chen's previous confidence in freely releasing large-scale destructive spells, killing enemies across realms, and even challenging Nascent Soul True Persons.

But now, without the second golden core, Luo Chen just felt at a loss.

But people, after all, have to get used to it after losing something.

Since he can't find a way in quantity, he will make a fuss in quality!

In his early years, for the sake of dual-core cultivation, his magic power looked purer than ordinary Core Formation cultivators, but in reality, it hadn't reached his own limit.

Now, let's refine it bit by bit and purify it to an extreme state first!

A red golden core floated in the sea of Qi.

Below, the Wither-Prosper Fire Tree stretched its branches vigorously, slowly scorching the golden core.

Occasionally, a tiny bit of "impurities" were discharged; that was the magic power of other attributes.

Under such scorching, the golden core became more and more crimson, just like a vermilion fruit!

It can even be said that the essential five-colored golden core was gradually fading.

Half a year later.

In the abyss, a powerful aura flashed and disappeared.

Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes.

In his eyes, there was both surprise and helplessness.

"Ninth level of Core Formation..."

He originally wanted to polish his foundation well, but the excellent internal and external cultivation environment ultimately made him advance to the ninth level of Core Formation unknowingly.

This was not what he wished, but when things came to a head, he could only accept it.

It's not like he could pull a long face just because his realm improved!

Luo Chen sighed and summoned the attribute panel.

【Lifespan: 186/900】

【Spiritual Root: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth】

【Constitution: Fire-Spirit Body】

【Realm: Core Formation 9th Level 1/100, Archaic 4th Tier 35/100】

【Cultivation Method: Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra Master 650/1000, Ten Thousand Paths Convergence Great Perfection, Ten Thousand Beast Sutra Master 510/1000】

On the rippling attribute panel, one term after another appeared and disappeared.

Luo Chen didn't look at the other attributes, only focusing his attention on the first five major terms.

The surge in lifespan was within expectations.

Not to mention breaking through three realms, his body also crossed to the mid-stage of the Archaic fourth tier after nirvana.

It is normal to have an extra hundred years of lifespan.

Luo Chen even had a feeling that if he completely absorbed the power of the Taisui in his body, the upper limit of his lifespan would surge again!

After a glance, Luo Chen didn't pay much attention to it.

For now, he no longer had the pressure of lifespan. More than nine hundred years old is already long-lived; some Nascent Soul True Persons who have suffered serious injuries only have this much lifespan, and he, Luo Chen, is only at the Core Formation stage, so what's the rush.

Luo Chen's attention was mainly focused on the new term that appeared.

【Constitution: Fire-Spirit Body】

Fire-spirit body, he can understand; it's the constitution transformed after nirvana to adapt to the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra."

But what about that?

"Could it be that my Five-Element Dao Body hasn't disappeared? It's just covered by the Fire-Spirit Body, so it can't be manifested?"

Luo Chen was quite puzzled.

He tried to operate the "Yimu Yaowang Sutra" he cultivated in his early years, but after operating only a small cycle, he felt his magic power was stagnant and his meridians were faintly stinging.

Obviously, this is not the performance that a Five-Element Dao Body should have.

According to the records in ancient books, the Five-Element Dao Body can cultivate all methods, so how could there be such a feeling of stagnation.

But on the panel, it is indeed displayed this way.

After thinking hard for a long time and experimenting for a long time, he finally didn't get a result.

Unwilling to give up, Luo Chen finally gave up.

Looking down, the changes in realm were swept over, and Luo Chen focused on the changes in cultivation methods.

First is the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra"!

From the entry-level master level in the Blazing Prison to the current progress bar of 650, it surged by a full 150 proficiency points!

The changes during this period...

"It should come from that physical nirvana!"

A transformation brings not only changes in the body itself, but also changes in the cultivation method.

Luo Chen can feel that the efficiency of his current operation of his life-bound cultivation method to absorb heaven and earth spiritual energy is far better than before.

Not only that, when outputting magic power and performing spells, it is also one or two points faster than before.

Don't underestimate this little progress.

You must know that most of Luo Chen's spells have been cultivated to Great Perfection.

What's more, on the basis of Great Perfection, Luo Chen has continuously optimized and researched, reaching an extreme point.

On this basis, he can still make progress, so how can Luo Chen not be surprised.

"It seems that this current Fire-Spirit Body is more suitable for cultivating the 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra,' and the subsequent improvement in proficiency should also be greatly accelerated."

"Perhaps, I have a chance to cultivate it to the Great Perfection level before the Nascent Soul stage!"

Obviously, this is another piece of good news after the surge in lifespan, the improvement in realm, and the fact that the Five-Element Dao Body still exists.

Luo Chen smiled, and then sighed inexplicably.

"Sigh..."

His gaze stayed on "Ten Thousand Paths Convergence."

This self-created cultivation method, which once drew on the strengths of many families, has finally reached its limit.

A long time ago, he had this feeling.

The progress of body refining became slower and slower, so he constantly sought external methods and exchanged for many ancient body-refining techniques from the Demon Hunting Division of the Wan Xian Society.

Relying on these patches, he finally cultivated to the Archaic fourth tier.

But, it stopped there.

After advancing to the Archaic fourth tier in Penghu, he clearly sensed that body refining had reached its limit!

This limit stems from "Ten Thousand Paths Convergence," and also from himself!

If one gets to the bottom of it, it stems from the body-refining method "Heavenly Peng Transformation"!

In his early years, Luo Chen and Wang Yuan bought "Heavenly Peng Transformation" from the black market in Dahefang.

That was an animal skin, and there was an unexpected joy, the "Emperor Flowing Pulp" alchemy formula.

But the "Heavenly Peng Transformation" at that time was itself an incomplete third-tier cultivation method; to cultivate it, one needed to accommodate the essence blood of Peng-type wild beasts into the body.

Wang Yuan didn't take it, only absorbing some advantages to make up for himself.

Luo Chen used this as a blueprint, and in the cave of the Soul Transformation great power Bai Ye, with the help of the system to complete it, he created "Ten Thousand Paths Convergence" at a critical moment.

Over the years, the knowledgeable Luo Chen pushed this body-refining method to the fourth-tier level bit by bit.

And then, it reached its limit.

The foundation of "Heavenly Peng Transformation" was too thin, and it was incomplete itself.

The Peng bird essence blood that Luo Chen took into his body at that time was only a second-tier Blazing Cloud Peng.

With the two superimposed, being able to help him cultivate to the Archaic fourth tier is already incomparably lucky.

Without the Taisui main body, plus the help of that wisp of Nirvana Holy Fire, Luo Chen would never have the cultivation of the mid-stage of the Archaic fourth tier.

While sighing, Luo Chen gradually packed up his mood.

"Let's leave it at that for now!"

"The path of body refining has an unknown future and many branches. This can be a guarantee of force, but it is difficult to be a hope for longevity."

"Giving up is naturally impossible, but one must seek higher-level cultivation methods in the future, or switch to cultivation or borrow from them, and creating another one is not impossible."

"But for now, the most urgent task is still the cultivation of Qi refining."

Since he is already at the ninth level of Core Formation, he must consider the matter of Core Formation.

But before that, Luo Chen has another small matter to do.

That is to take stock of the gains from the trip to the Land of Fallen Demons.

One can't go through life and death, and not know what one has gained or lost!

With a thought, he raised his hand.

Streams of light floated in the air of the wooden house.

Looking at those treasures, Luo Chen revealed a knowing smile.

"This trip was finally not in vain."
