Chapter 502

The next moment, Wang Yu's heart began to beat violently again, and countless blood threads sprayed from the surface of his body, wrapping him and the small bottle in his hand together, transforming into a giant blood cocoon.

Inside the blood cocoon, Wang Yu closed his eyes, and his divine sense once again sensed that giant magic pattern diagram containing thousands of symbols.

This magic pattern diagram seemed to be detectable only when entering the blood cocoon; it appeared to be inscribed on a certain part of the blood cocoon itself.

Thinking of this, he pointed a finger at the space between his brows and released all his divine thoughts.

A moment later, a palm wrapped in golden-yellow mist sliced across the inside of the blood cocoon like a blade.

"Pop."

A hole the size of a palm appeared on the surface of the blood cocoon, and a small piece of the blood cocoon's skin of the same size fell out from it. However, after a roll of silver light swept over, Wang Yu used his telekinesis to collect it into the mysterious talisman, simultaneously sweeping a strand of divine thought into the talisman.

This piece of blood cocoon skin was remarkably hardening rapidly within the storage space of the mysterious talisman, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a piece of dark red, rough-surfaced hard skin.

And in this brief moment, the hole on the blood cocoon was once again blocked by dense blood threads, and the interior became dark once more.

Wang Yu withdrew his divine thought from the mysterious talisman, looked at the small bottle in his hand, and after a slight hesitation, opened the lid and drank the essence blood in the bottle in one gulp.

The moment the essence blood entered his abdomen.

His stomach "flared" as if ignited by something, and a mass of incomparably scorching energy swept and surged toward every part of his body.

At the same time, that unknown biological energy within his body also awakened, transforming into a frigid force; like a hunter, it rushed toward the scorching energy transformed from the essence blood at the very first moment.

The interior of the blood cocoon also sprayed out more cold threads that merged into Wang Yu's body, and that strand of Iron-Eating Beast bloodline deeply hidden within his body also awakened as a result, joining the fray.

The three abnormal forces devoured each other for a moment, then fused together, transforming into a mass of incomparably violent, raging power.

A heavy sense of drowsiness flooded Wang Yu's brain, yet at the same time, a tearing pain erupted from every part of his body; he felt as if his physical body were an awakening volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.

"Not good."

Wang Yu cried out inwardly and hurriedly pinched a spell with both hands, intending to mobilize the magic power in his body to forcibly suppress the abnormalities.

But it was already too late!

"Boom."

The blood cocoon burst open from the inside out, and countless flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Wang Yu was actually blown to smithereens by this astonishing power within his body, his limbs flying in disarray.

"Huff."

Wang Yu suddenly opened his eyes in the secret room, hurriedly felt around his body with both hands, and only after discovering that there was no damage and that he was in the same complete state as before entering the login interface did he let out a long sigh of relief.

He had never expected that the consequences of drinking Xiaobai's essence blood and stimulating the unknown biological energy would be so terrifying, directly causing his body to be blown apart by the erupting violent power.

Fortunately, at the same time his body burst open in the login interface, his consciousness was still able to issue a command, directly logging him out of the interface.

However, this also gave him a further understanding of the login interface space.

It seems that even if the body in the login interface is destroyed, the soul can still exist independently for a period of time; of course, this experience is certainly not pleasant.

In fact, not to mention the souls of Foundation Establishment cultivators, even if the physical bodies of Qi Refinement cultivators are destroyed, as long as they have a suitable soul-type artifact to inhabit, they can survive for a period of time, though the duration is never very long.

According to his understanding, only when a cultivator reaches the Golden Core Stage or above, because they have a Golden Core to rely on, can their soul survive for a long time by relying on the power of the Golden Core, lasting for ten or even several decades, far exceeding the imagination of ordinary people.

As for those with Nascent Soul-level power, because they have a Nascent Soul, they do not care much for their original physical body; relying on a Nascent Soul body, they can roam beyond the heavens, no longer restricted by heaven and earth, and can be considered true immortals.

Of course, if a mid-to-high-rank cultivator's physical body is truly destroyed and they have cultivated special soul secret techniques, they can consider the method of possession, finding a new suitable physical body and either devouring or directly dispersing the soul of the original owner, thereby usurping the nest and making the physical body their own.

However, although possession sounds good, in reality, there are too many restrictions, successful examples are extremely rare, and even if successful, there will be huge, irreparable flaws.

In order to maintain basic order, the major sects in the Cultivation World do not openly encourage possession and even strictly prohibit it, listing this method among the techniques of evil cultivators.

Of course, in reality, how these major sects actually enforce this is another matter entirely.

The login interface completely simulates everything in the real world; if he can ensure that his soul can truly exist independently within the login interface, does this mean he has the opportunity to experience the feeling of his soul leaving his body before reaching the Golden Core Stage?

Wang Yu considered this, lost in thought.

Although the experiment in the login interface failed this time, it also proved that this attempt is feasible; at the very least, that unknown biological energy will indeed have an effect on other bloodlines, and even essence blood consumed orally can stimulate relevant effects.

His physical damage in the login interface does not affect the state of his real physical body in the outside world, so he naturally dares to be bold and continue trying.

This failure was clearly due to consuming too much of Xiaobai's essence blood.

If he reduces the amount of essence blood consumed next time, would he not explode his body and be able to activate that legendary dragon bloodline?

Although Wang Yu also felt that it would not be so simple to succeed, it was indeed worth continuing to try; in any case, it would not bring about any worse consequences.

In the real world, he could actually just honestly follow the process in the login interface to activate that unknown biological energy, and he would be able to successfully awaken the Iron-Eating Crocodile bloodline a second time, gaining the abilities of Stone Armor and Copper Skin and Iron Bones.

But the Iron-Eating Crocodile is only a low-rank demonic beast, and even a second awakening would have limited help; however, if he could truly use this unknown biological energy to awaken the rumored dragon bloodline, it would be completely different.

As the most powerful existence among demonic beasts, even if he only awakened a third-rank Gray Dragon bloodline, it would allow his strength to soar to the heavens in one step, providing countless benefits for his subsequent cultivation and his breakthrough to higher realms.

This was also the reason why, once he discovered the utility of that unknown energy, he did not hesitate to risk fusing Xiaobai's essence blood in the login interface.

Although Xiaobai's essence blood is not that of a dragon, it has consumed the blood of an atavistic dragon and is suspected not to be ordinary dragon blood; thus, after multiple bloodline awakenings, the essence blood actually hides a special ability to consume lifespan to accelerate cultivation.

Although he keeps his distance from this ability, he has to admit that it is extremely heaven-defying, and therefore he yearns even more for the power of the dragon bloodline; if there is an opportunity to awaken such a bloodline, he naturally will not give up easily.

Wang Yu had made a decision in his heart; he had intended to enter the login interface again, but a deep sense of fatigue suddenly came from his sea of consciousness, which startled him and immediately dispelled the idea of entering again.

Over these past few days, he had consumed a lot of divine sense due to contemplating the magic pattern symbols on the yellow eyeball, and having entered the login interface twice in a row just now, it was only natural that his mental energy was now insufficient.

He immediately stopped doing anything else, took an incense burner artifact from his storage bag, inserted a thick black incense candle, lit it, and then, amidst the faint scent of sandalwood, sat cross-legged and quickly closed his eyes.

Tomorrow, he still has to meet Yan Tu; he hopes to recover some mental energy tonight so that he can visit this new master in a better state.
