Chapter 376 Blood Axe's Fortuitous Encounter
From the outside, Dragonfall Valley looks like a long, winding snake, deeply embedded in the earth, with its belly being the very center of the valley.
The way in.
They either fall directly from the air or enter from the "tail tip" and gradually explore inwards.
Wang Yu had long known that there was a dragon blood vine demon in this place.
Naturally, we would start from the "tail tip" to test the strength of these monsters. If we rashly venture into the center, we might fall into a monster siege or a trap.
There's nowhere to run.
Moreover, given that even early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators have come here without gaining anything, it's clear that to obtain the opportunities here, besides having the strength to overcome the dangers, one also needs the intellect to explore.
"Let's try it out first, Xueyu."
The little fox noticed that it had more to do lately, and the fighting made it excited. Its body rapidly grew larger, transforming from a small fox into a giant snow fox thirty or forty meters long.
Amidst the frenzied waving of its five tails, a spherical magical artifact transformed from its natal demon treasure, the Snow Fox Robe, floated in the center of the tails.
A dreamy blue light, swirling and ethereal, suddenly burst forth.
Ice Bead, one of the five transformation forms of the Demon Treasure, is a dazzling, cold beam of light with extremely strong hallucinatory power, affecting both the mind and the body.
Simply put, it's not just about casting mental illusions on you.
Stimulated by that beam of light, it's like injecting the body with a hallucinogenic drug, making the target unable to control themselves. Using it in this passage is one of the methods to lure the enemy into revealing their true colors.
The Dragon Blood Vine Demon is said to be skilled in ambush.
Naturally, we need to lure them out first to see what happens.
As the beam of light from the Ice Orb extended forward, the earth trembled violently a few breaths later, and thick, dark green vines, as thick as water vats, sprouted from the ground and rock walls.
The most bizarre thing was that inside the blood-red flower bud blooming at the top of the vine was a flesh-and-blood dragon head flower stamen with blood-red eyes, which roared at Xueyu.
Like dragons of vines, their length underground is unpredictable, yet they exhibit extreme aggression.
Strands of crimson light emerged from the dragon's head.
The Ice Charm Ball was completely knocked away.
Xueyu said with heartache.
“Master, every single blood dragon vine is at the peak of the Core Formation stage.”
"I can see that."
"Use the sword form to cut them off at the base as much as possible; I have a use for these corpses."
Upon hearing this...
The ice sphere swiftly transformed into a three-foot-long green blade. This sword was named the [Heavenly Fox Sword]. The blade was rather thin and had blue ice patterns, making it look more like a ceremonial weapon than an offensive weapon.
However, its power is still quite good. The Heavenly Fox Sword Qi it unleashes can transform into a snow fox with sword qi, which also has a freezing effect. It is considered quite advanced among Core Formation cultivators.
certainly.
Because his own cultivation level was too low, dealing with so many dragon blood vine demons at the same time was too difficult, even extremely dangerous.
I observed for a while.
Wang Yu reached out and unleashed a surge of Ice Dragon Flame, which transformed into a pillar of fire that shot out fiercely, striking the Dragon Blood Vine Demons that were besieging Xue Yu, who appeared to be at the peak of the third tier.
But their methods are all cut from the same mold.
It gave Wang Yu the impression of being a mass-produced product, with average quality in all aspects, and no magical treasures or supernatural powers.
In terms of combat strength.
He can only fool rogue cultivators; he's no match for sect disciples, let alone Wang Yu.
He twisted the pillar of fire in his hand, causing it to sweep across the area.
The entrance to Dragonfall Valley was almost transformed into a fiery domain, with dark green vines burned to charcoal, while large swathes of ice crystals condensed around it.
With a single move, the dragon blood vine demon at the entrance was almost completely wiped out.
There wasn't even time to breathe a sigh of relief.
The earth trembled violently, as if it were about to lift the ground up, and countless vine demons emerged from the ground like earthworms.
They were pressed so tightly together that it made one's scalp tingle.
Even if the quality is low, it's still at the peak of the third tier. This quantity is truly outrageous. The spiritual veins of Fallen Dragon Valley are not of high grade, so it's impossible for them to support so many demons.
Moreover, this is just the entrance; the real journey begins deep inside.
Wouldn't that be tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Millions?
Absolutely impossible!
While pondering.
Wang Yu changed his magic, and the pillar of fire transformed into an ice dragon. He scooped up the little fox that was still hacking and slashing with one claw, and suddenly rushed out of the tail end of Fallen Dragon Valley, also grabbing a few dragon blood vines along the way.
This exploration made him realize that forcing his way in was not a realistic option.
I have to go back to my old job and do stealth work to have a chance to safely penetrate deep into the core of Dragonfall Valley. After getting away from the entrance, the wildly dancing dragon blood vine demons gradually calmed down.
With remarkable ingenuity, they transported all the broken rocks and fragments of land back, and from the stamen of the dragon-head flower, they spewed out streams of muddy, yellowish-brown water.
It was fixed just like that.
The entrance was exactly the same as the one Wang Yu had seen at the beginning. All the charred corpses had been recovered, and everything had returned to calm, as if Wang Yu had never been there.
This behavior reminded him of two kinds of creatures.
Bees and ants.
"Could these dragon blood vine demons be merely ant soldiers or something similar? Are there queen-like creatures deep within the nest?"
He quickly thought it through.
Wang Yu carefully examined the few vines he had snatched, but found no cores such as demon cores, only dragon blood from the sap of these spiritual plants.
It contains abundant life energy, which is even better than the dragon blood he used when making secret medicines before, and is only inferior to the effect of the inner core of a flood dragon.
Furthermore, it is more inclined to repair and replenish the body's vitality.
It is perfect for extreme training.
As the situation gradually became clearer, Wang Yu decided to let the people cultivate here for a while and sent Xue Yu to dig a temporary cave dwelling so that he could continue to live as a cave dweller.
However, he encountered trouble right from the start.
The body of a three-year-old child is fine for fighting with supernatural powers; it hardly affects Wang Yu's combat strength. However, if he wants to train his physical body...
Not only were his arms and legs short, but he was also dealing with a large dragon blood vine demon, making it difficult for Wang Yu to feel the exhilaration of each punch landing on his body. His day of training could only be described as frustrating.
So Wang Yu began to improve the Demon Dragon Fist.
The dragon of blood and qi unleashed by the Yinming Demon Dragon Technique should be concentrated in the limbs as much as possible, transforming it into an extension of the body, so that the power of the Mountain Throwing Divine Force can be fully exerted.
Every few hours, Wang Yu would rush into Fallen Dragon Valley.
Engaging in melee battles with an almost endless number of dragon blood vine demons, the oppressive feeling of fighting countless enemies alone further enhances his group combat skills.
The vines that lashed at him left red marks, but no blood. However, if he was lashed too many times, he would develop purplish bruises.
Sometimes, being bitten by the stamen of the dragon's head flower can cause poisoning.
Using only his physical cultivation, the deeper Wang Yu went, the greater the pressure became. Even with mass-produced peak third-tier strength, the basic power was still quite formidable.
The presence of so many perfect sparring partners also ignited Wang Yu's fighting spirit.
Each time, he would bring back a few of the thickest dragon blood vines and use their blood to make a pool of dragon blood medicine to repair bodily wounds.
Starting from the third day.
His physical strength showed a slight increase, indicating that he had fully entered the state of readiness. Wang Yu then took out the remaining blood essence crystals from the two corpses and added fuel to the fire on top of that.
He was drawn to the celestial moon's malevolent influence, which relentlessly tempered his physical body.
The inexhaustible dragon blood vines became his free dragon blood supplier, even though only one or two drops of essence blood could be extracted from a single vine.
Despite the large number of people, he still ate until he was stuffed.
He could only endure the lashes of the vines again and again, allowing his injuries and the flow of his cultivation techniques to reach a balance. Through this simple cycle of damage, repair, and strengthening, he could further enhance his physical strength.
During this process, the divine marrow filling the dragon's spine became increasingly condensed. The essence of this substance was actually Wang Yu's condensed blood and qi, which was also the foundation of his body cultivation.
It can affect all aspects, especially the "Heavenly Yin Blood" and "Corpse Demon Bone" cultivated from the Yinming Demon Dragon Technique and the Corpse Demon Secret Method, which have undergone a fusion reaction.
This technique was born from this.
The so-called "Netherworld Demon Dragon" is derived from these two things. It wouldn't be wrong to describe it as a corpse dragon. If one's body refinement truly breaks through to the fourth level, this technique will be somewhat insufficient.
The best path forward is to complete the Corpse Demon Secret Technique to the fourth level, using it as a guide for the Yin-Yang Demon Dragon Technique, or even to completely merge the two into one!
As time goes by.
The divine essence within the dragon's spine became increasingly condensed, radiating strands of silver light.
Body Refinement Stage 4.
Another name is "Silver Blood Spirit Bone"!
The essence transforms into silver, cleansing the limbs and bones, greatly increasing the cultivator's total blood and qi as if undergoing a blood transfusion, thus giving birth to a new realm of divine power—[Silver Blood Divine Power]!
This can be considered an advanced version of the Mountain-Throwing Divine Power.
Its core function lies in an invisible "field of force" that can diffuse pure brute force into a field.
To be able to traverse a hundred miles in a single foot and lift a towering mountain between two fingers!
Every corner of the area seemed to reflect Wang Yu's full effort.
Able to achieve all sorts of incredible effects, and even able to concentrate them into a single point to form a ferocious attack far exceeding the physical limits, he can be considered a master of body refinement.
The improvement was even more dramatic than the previous ones.
Moving mountains and filling seas is no longer just a fantasy, but a reality.
The so-called "spiritual bone" is the second level of divine ability, which is advanced from the Vajra Body, and its full name is "immortal bone"!
From blood to bone, the ultimate goal is to forge an immortal body; power is merely a byproduct of this path, far from the final objective.
The Vajra Body allows the soul to reside within flesh and blood.
Initially, only one immortal bone can be condensed. As the body refinement realm improves, it can gradually spread to the entire skeleton, achieving complete evolution.
What is enhanced is vitality and the power of immortality.
Even if severely injured to the point of being nothing but a skeleton, the Immortal Bone effect can regenerate flesh and blood, allowing one to return to their peak!
Its effects are very similar to the Corpse Demon Secret Technique, leading Wang Yu to believe that this secret technique might have been created by the Heavenly Crippled Old Man, using the fourth stage of Body Refinement as a model.
From this perspective, the Yinming Demon Dragon Technique can indeed be integrated with the Corpse Demon Secret Technique and advanced to a fourth-order body-refining technique.
at the moment.
Wang Yu was just thinking about it. If he really wanted to do it, he would first have to complete the Corpse Demon Secret Technique to the fourth level. He thought the placement speed was too slow and the cost-effectiveness was not high.
He then decided to place it after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
At that time, his life level will evolve again, which will bring a comprehensive improvement to his basic qualities, and the placement time will naturally be greatly reduced.
The abilities of the fourth stage of Body Refinement, whether it be [Silver Blood Divine Power] or [Immortal Bone], are highly coveted and serve as a carrot dangling from Wang Yu's mind, motivating him to keep striving.
You can see it, you can smell it.
As long as he worked hard, he could actually eat it. The strong feedback stimulus made Wang Yu work even harder, and he could often see the child fighting fiercely against many dragon blood vine demons.
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
Frequent battle injuries caused Wang Yu's physical strength to increase rapidly, and he soon reached the new limit opened up by the innate demonic fetus.
The Fallen Dragon Valley is such a treasure land that it is perfect for Wang Yu's cultivation, and it is also a perfect match for the Yin-Yang Demon Dragon Technique.
at the same time.
The tempering of battle can also affect magical power. Although he slowed down the rate at which he consumed the Human Pill, his magical power still surged to eight thousand units after a year.
His magical power, which should have become weak and unstable, was forcibly tempered back to its original state, and his Qi Sea gradually became full, bringing him very close to the peak of the ninth level of Core Formation.
That day.
After a brief trip away from Fallen Dragon Valley, Wang Yu went to retrieve the message sent by Wang Zhenghong and the others. Cultivation is one thing, but it's also important to be aware of outside intelligence.
To avoid being suddenly drawn into some major event.
Over the past year, the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect sent two intelligence reports to Fengzhou, both concerning two battlefields in the east and south directions.
The southern battlefield was too far from Fengzhou, so only some results were briefly mentioned, with no mention of defeats; it was all good news.
For example, a certain Nascent Soul ancestor of the Hehuan Demon Sect, renowned throughout the Red Iris Kingdom, was defeated by the Holy Sect and reclaimed a great deal of lost territory; or a certain surprise attack team made great contributions.
There is absolutely no truly useful information on kill counts.
This easily leads to unfavorable speculation: if a key figure isn't eliminated, the situation will be stalled, and the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.
The eastern battlefield involved Huangquan Temple, while the main battlefield was in Yunling Prefecture.
In the Xinzhuyue Prefecture, a struggle ensued over the ruins of Dongjijing. Guiling City, where Wang Yu was removed from his position as city lord, was also at the center of the battlefield.
This area is very close to Fengzhou, so the Holy Emperor made arrangements to have patrol teams dispatched from Fengzhou Prefecture to guard the border area strictly.
Slay all those who dare to cross the border.
However, orders are orders, and whether they can be effectively implemented is negligible given the bloated administrative system of Fengzhou Prefecture.
There is a lack of a commander who can make the final decision.
The Holy Sect had naturally taken this into consideration, and said that they would send Black Heaven Talisman Lord and the Earth Barbarian Old Demon of Barbarian Ghost Peak to oversee the overall situation.
It is clear that the situation on the eastern front is not optimistic either.
The blitzkrieg plan has failed, and countermeasures must be adjusted, especially regarding the defense of the Northern Boundary Mountains, and additional personnel must be deployed to various passes.
The two who were sent to Fengzhou were both Nascent Soul Level 3 cultivators.
Needless to say, Black Heaven Talisman Lord is also a member of the Zhuo clan, so it seems that the Zhuo clan of the Ghost Fang is exerting its power.
But for Wang Yu, it meant that the Black Heavenly Talisman Lord was coming to Fengzhou.
What about the Nine Evil Sword Lord?
—We must be wary!
"We need to speed things up."
The limit that the innate demonic fetus had opened up was now fully filled, making his physical body several levels stronger than before, and the silver threads in his divine essence became even more numerous.
This gave him an urge to break through directly.
But upon closer reflection, it seems better to seize the opportunity in Fallen Dragon Valley first. Having a breakthrough item increases the success rate, and even if it fails, it can save one's life.
When you're weak, taking risks is something you have to do.
Being powerful gives you the resources to increase your chances of success, so there's no reason not to use it.
"Xueyu, return the seed bag."
"They're here."
Synopsis: Upon waking up, Yang Peng realizes that in any world, reason is just reason. Without strength, resistance is laughable; only fists can be the hardest form of power.
Especially in this ancient dynasty, where human life is cheap and justice is nonexistent, he had no choice but to abandon his humanity in order to live a more secure life!
...
In the late years of the Great Yan Dynasty, the court was in turmoil, affecting thirty-three major provinces. Various regional kings raised private armies and hoarded grain. Major sects widely recruited refugees to expand their sects and select geniuses. Local powerful clans controlled prices, hoarding rare and valuable goods.
As Yang Peng uses his golden finger to imprint extraordinary skills, whether they are mutually restraining techniques or powerful abilities, as long as he can successfully imprint them, he can step by step reach the peak.
