A dark red, blocky jade pendant appeared; this was the one-in-ten-million chance of finding the ultimate Blood Shackles. This treasure hunt also set a new record for the amount of Holy Spirit Stones he had consumed.
A full five thousand ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones. He had previously targeted items with a one in ten million chance of success, but he only used a few hundred Holy Spirit Stones each time. This time, five thousand stones was more than ten or even dozens of times more than before.
"In-depth analysis!"
Jiang Yuantian had just opened his Heavenly Eye to examine the Ultimate Blood Shackles when, unexpectedly, the Ultimate Blood Shackles transformed into a beam of blood light and entered his body.
When Tianyan tried to re-examine the device, a series of notification sounds began to reach his ears.
"Blood Shackles, unlocking progress 65%!"
"Blood Shackles, unlocking progress 66%!"
The two notification sounds were three minutes apart, and those three minutes only slightly increased the progress of the shackles. At this rate, it would take at least two hours to completely unlock the Blood Shackles.
"So my Blood Shackles are only this much open!" Jiang Yuan was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that he had only opened 65% of his Blood Shackles. He had previously thought that with his ancient martial arts talent, he would definitely be able to open the Blood Shackles to more than 90%, but now that he saw it, that was simply wishful thinking.
"It seems that the difference between ancient martial arts practitioners is related to the degree to which each of these shackles is opened!"
Judging from the degree to which the shackles are opened, the combat power among ancient martial artists is even more uneven than that among those who have awakened their spirits. After all, the data of those who have awakened their spirits is the same, and they are at the same level of energy points.
During the long wait, Jiang Yuan couldn't let it go to waste. He rolled the lucky die again, but after getting a boring number, it immediately went flat. A little bit of luck on the lucky die had become a synonym for bad luck, since it couldn't get much lower than that.
After rolling the lucky dice, Jiang Yuan once again set his sights on the Great Wilderness Divine Wood Classic. He had already planned to complete this task, but due to the intervention of the Northern City Alliance, he had to abandon his plans.
The super-load places extremely high demands on the physical body, and he didn't want any accidents to happen along the way, and now was the perfect time.
"In that case, let's begin with the ninth-tier physical body!"
Jiang Yuan activated the Great Wilderness Divine Wood Scripture, and the energy he had prepared beforehand began to circulate within his body. In the blink of an eye, he broke through to the eighth level of body tempering.
Sure enough, the moment he broke through, the Heavenly Eye issued an alarm about the super energy load, but Jiang Yuan didn't care at all. The super energy load of the next level was still within his tolerance range. As long as he proceeded steadily, he could break through.
His physical body continued to grow stronger, and with the help of self-healing factors, his body seemed to have returned to its original, natural state.
Meanwhile, the complete unsealing of the Blood Shackles is also proceeding gradually.
...
Fujiang Squad Base
"Sister Binghai, I promised I'd help you break through to the ninth rank, right?" Yu Tu eagerly awaited Yang Binghai's praise.
"Little Yu, your methods are amazing!" Yang Binghai's eyes were shining. Others might not be able to sense it, but as the person involved, she could truly feel it.
Now, her spiritual energy has reached over 700, far exceeding the threshold of 512 points for the ninth rank. All the credit for this belongs to the girl in front of us.
Luo Nan and the others were furious. They couldn't understand why they, as men, had to have their energy drained. But with Yang Binghai, the situation was completely reversed.
This gender discrimination is outrageous.
"Who told you to be my best friend!" Yu Tu is now focused on winning over the Fujiang team, so she can only start with Yang Binghai.
"By the way, Xiaoyu, your husband has been missing all day. Is he in any danger?" Yang Binghai looked towards the tent.
"Don't mention that guy!" Yu Tu said, sounding uninterested.
"What's wrong?"
"He went to fight some strange beasts!" Yu Tu pouted. "He said he wouldn't let me play with him!"
"Jiang Yuan doesn't seem like such a heartless person!" Yang Binghai's expression was somewhat uncertain. Although she hadn't had much contact with Jiang Yuan, her intuition told her that Jiang Yuan was a decent person.
"Why don't you come with me to Echo Valley and take a look?"
...
"Look, what happened at that barracks?"
A streak of blood-red light shot into the sky, and Long Shan, Yang Zhehan, and the others all turned their gazes toward a barracks in the far corner.
“Those barracks were vacant before, so the apostles must be living there now!” Long Lei stared intently at the source of the blood light.
"Will the apostle be alright?"
The others looked at each other, all somewhat worried.
"Very pure energy, but different from the spiritual energy we've seen!" Yang Zhehan fiddled with the energy analyzer, constantly recording the collected data.
"Shall we go take a look?"
None of them could make up their minds, as even touching this level of energy could cause serious damage to the body.
"You all wait here, I'll go check it out!"
A chubby figure stepped out of the door; it was Little Fatty.
"Commander Tang, are you alright?" Long Shan asked Tang Yingjun.
Little Fatty abandoned his forced smile and calmly said, "I'll go see him!"
After saying that, Little Fatty strode confidently toward the room.
Unbeknownst to others, this was a phenomenon that only occurred when the Blood Shackles in the ancient martial arts system were opened to their extreme. The towering pillar of blood seemed to be announcing to the world that an ancient martial artist who had reached the pinnacle of blood was being born.
Little Fatty called out to Jiang Yuan several times but received no response. Instead, the blood pillar energy soared into the sky and grew stronger and stronger, exceeding the level that a ninth-tier cultivator should possess.
This is a manifestation of the rules of the battlefield, and it's not as simple as it seems.
"Brother Yuan, are you alright?"
As Little Fatty stepped across the threshold, the first streak of blood-red light swept across, and his body, like a small boat in a storm, was already teetering on the brink of collapse.
Jiang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes amidst the blood-red light; he had already sensed Little Fatty's arrival.
"This energy is pure blood shackles. If you can comprehend it, it might lead you into the world of ancient martial arts!" A bold idea emerged in Jiang Yuan's mind.
The Ultimate Blood Shackles bring about a perfectly unsealed blood shackle, and its power should not be underestimated. Just the overflowing energy alone might be enough to lead someone onto the path of ancient martial arts.
Of course, this person must have a talent for ancient martial arts!
"Brother Yuan, don't scare me! If something really happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to Ning Yanlan!" The chubby boy's voice trembled slightly, partly because the bloody light in front of him was starting to affect him, and partly because he was genuinely afraid that something might happen to Jiang Yuan.
"Hurrah!"
With a roar, the massive beast's body burst through the barracks, then roared wildly amidst the blood-red light filling the sky.
"Brother Yuan!" Little Fatty panicked when he saw the ferocious beast.
The little dumpling didn't appear when the two parted last time, so in the little fat boy's eyes, it was obviously a strange beast that attacked Jiang Yuan.
"Giant bloodline, give me your power one last time!"
After roaring, Little Fatty charged headlong into the blood-red light without hesitation, regardless of whether the giant bloodline was useful or not.
