Chapter 222: The Abnormal

This time it was a blood-colored book; the moment Li Zhangsheng took hold of the book, vivid scenes emerged above it.

Under the great sun, a Golden Crow flapped its wings, ready to fly, looking up and crying out while surveying all living things; there was a great Kun leaping from the moonlit deep sea, transforming into a bird, turning into a Peng; there was the auspicious Bai Ze, knowing all things, turning bad luck into good; there was the Green Jade Shangyang, foreseeing the future, peerless in grace; there were the Water-Fire Nine Infants, without soul or spirit, bearing nine lives; there was the Rain Master Jimeng, galloping with wind and rain, its Keen Edge fully revealed... The demeanor of the ancient Divine Beasts was displayed one by one, enduring and never fading.

From these scenes, one could see the strangeness of this book; on its cover were engraved the large characters "Book of Bloodlines (Part Two)," and the author was the Hundred-Victories King!

"A book related to Bloodline?" Li Zhangsheng was puzzled, but his hands did not slow down as he began to roughly read the contents of the book.

This book was not very thick, and inside were dense formulas and recipes, all related to purifying Bloodline.

This was a book on purifying Bloodline, which could extract the Bloodline of a Spirit Beast, ultimately aiming to extract the Spirit Essence of the Bloodline source, though it required extremely complex operations.

If the extracted source Bloodline were provided to a Spirit Beast possessing this same source Bloodline to absorb, it could increase its Bloodline concentration to a certain extent; if it took a step further toward the Bloodline source, evolution would occur.

Simply put, the effect was similar to a Bloodline Fruit, only it required accumulating a certain amount of source Bloodline to potentially allow a Demon Pet to evolve.

"Demon Blood!" At this moment, Li Zhangsheng saw a term, and he was visibly stunned; he discovered that Demon Spirit Essence was actually the catalyst for purifying Bloodline, and the higher the purity of the Demon Spirit Essence, the better the efficiency of purifying the Bloodline, and the more source Bloodline Spirit Essence could be extracted.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng flipped to the last page, which roughly introduced the life of the Hundred-Victories King, as well as a secret regarding strengthening the effect of purifying Bloodline.

The Hundred-Victories King was a figure from over a hundred years ago and was also the most outstanding Heavenly Pride of that time; he traversed the world for decades, defeating all the Heavenly Prides of his era, never having tasted defeat in his life, which was the main reason he obtained the title of "Hundred-Victories."

The Hundred-Victories King made it his duty to kill all demons, slaughtering countless demons in his life; the number of demons that fell under his hand was unknown, including quite a few Demon Commanders; these all became his Merit and also became the catalyst for him to purify source Bloodline Spirit Essence, which could be described as nourishing war with war.

On this page, there was naturally no mention of the Hundred-Victories King's end, but he was, after all, an unparalleled figure of the modern era, and Li Zhangsheng had heard some things, including the battle where he fell.

The Hundred-Victories King slaughtered demons crazily, and while strengthening his own combat power, he also became resented by many demons, eventually attracting the attention of a Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord plotted a conspiracy, luring the Hundred-Victories King deep into the Abyss Gate, where he was ambushed by the Demon Lord and multiple Demon Commanders; that ambush battle ended with the fall of the Hundred-Victories King.

However, the demons underestimated the strength of the Hundred-Victories King, which directly led to the Demon Lord being severely injured, multiple Demon Commanders dying, and countless demons being affected by the aftermath.

As for the secret regarding strengthening the purification of Bloodline, it focused on introducing a World Wonder—the Demon Refining Pot!

The effect of the Demon Refining Pot complemented the Book of Bloodlines, and it could significantly strengthen the effect of purifying source Bloodline Spirit Essence.

The Hundred-Victories King was extremely covetous of the Demon Refining Pot's effect, believing that the Demon Refining Pot could greatly increase his efficiency; it was not that he had not schemed for the Demon Refining Pot, but unfortunately, he could not find the whereabouts of this World Wonder.

The owner of the Demon Refining Pot was the Xuan Emperor, but after the Xuan Emperor fell, its whereabouts became unknown; some said it was buried in the Xuan Emperor Mausoleum, some said it was treasured by the descendants of the Xuan Emperor, or perhaps it was snatched away by the Supreme Being who killed the Xuan Emperor back then, and so on.

The Hundred-Victories King was eager for the Demon Refining Pot, so he naturally investigated things related to the Xuan Emperor, including the Xuan Emperor Mausoleum.

At the end of this secret, the Hundred-Victories King disclosed that some clues and tokens he had collected regarding the Xuan Emperor Mausoleum were all placed in a Treasure Vat.

"However, since there is a Book of Bloodlines Part Two, then what about Part One?"

Li Zhangsheng closed the book; the visions above it had already disappeared, and it looked like an ordinary book, but he knew very well that this was a book that could be called a priceless treasure.

At the first opportunity, Li Zhangsheng began to check the Treasure Vats that had not yet been opened, looking for the one containing the Book of Bloodlines Part One.

Unfortunately, he gained nothing!

Although he could not see the treasures in the Treasure Vats very clearly, he could still make out their outlines, and among these unopened Treasure Vats, not one was a book-shaped treasure.

That is to say, the Book of Bloodlines Part One was not here.

Although Li Zhangsheng could also find another way to purify source blood by relying on the steps in Part Two, the efficiency of purification would inevitably be greatly reduced, and the possibility of failure would also greatly increase.

Even for him, the Book of Bloodlines was very important and could complement his special abilities; the growth speed and potential of his Demon Pets would also inevitably be greatly improved.

By that time, as long as he did not court death, the Hundred-Victories King would be his baseline!

"The Hundred-Victories King might have placed the Book of Bloodlines in two places; of course, it is also possible that it was obtained by Cai Yangqian!"

Li Zhangsheng was not a fool; Cai Yangqian was the enemy who killed his parents, and in just three years, he had advanced from Third Rank to Fifth Rank; he must be holding his parents' relics, otherwise, his progress speed could not be so fast, and among them, it was possible that the Book of Bloodlines Part One was included.

"Everyone, continue attacking!" Li Zhangsheng pointed at a Treasure Vat emitting golden light, directing the Demon Pets to continue launching attacks.

Among the remaining Treasure Vats, there were four that had not been tested.

"I hope I can open one or two more!" Watching the actions of the Demon Pets, Li Zhangsheng prayed silently in his heart.

Whether it was the Book of Bloodlines Part Two, the Ancient Speed Enhancement Potion recipe, or the three portions of Wood Spirit Grass, their value was extremely high, and they could all improve Li Zhangsheng's strength.

Failure!

Failure!

Failure!

The Demon Pets attacked three Treasure Vats in a row, but they all ended in failure; in this way, only the last Treasure Vat remained untested.

This was an Earth Element Treasure Vat, and the Earth Element was known for its defensive power; Li Zhangsheng naturally did not have much confidence, but he still directed the Demon Pets to launch an attack.

"Eh, there is hope!"

Under the attacks of the eight Demon Pets, the energy barrier of the Earth Element Treasure Vat began to shake, rippling in layers; this made Li Zhangsheng see hope, and he immediately directed the Demon Pets to continue attacking.
