Chapter 9: The Blood of the Million Demonic Beasts

  The Silver Ribbon Fish Overlord gazed at Xiao Ji with eyes full of murderous intent, his body moving as fast as lightning, instantly appearing in front of Xiao Ji.

  Xiao Ji wanted to dodge, but he couldn't keep up with his opponent's speed at all.

  In an instant, Xiao Ji only felt a huge force hitting his body, his five internal organs seemed to be knocked out of place by this huge force, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his body was thrown dozens of feet away by this powerful force.

  Feeling the intense pain and weakness in his body, Xiao Ji struggled to look ahead.

  The silver-banded fish's massive body flashed by, and it appeared in front of Xiao Ji, looking down at him from above.

  "You're too weak, I don't even need to use a tenth of my power to easily kill you. However, I'll give you a chance, you can beg for mercy from me, if you kneel down and ask for it, maybe I'll spare your life, after all, a crawling insect like you isn't even worthy of me taking the effort to kill."

  The silver fish smiled at Xiao Ji, and in its opinion, Xiao Ji would definitely do what it said.

  In the demon beast realm, kowtowing represents complete submission to the other party, with the same meaning as kneeling in human society. If Xiao Ji was just an ordinary demon beast, he could abandon his dignity as a demon beast for the sake of his life, but Xiao Ji is not a demon beast, but a true human soul with Huaxia's hot blood!

  Xiao Ji didn't know how many of his bones were broken, he struggled to lift his head and said expressionlessly:

  "I will definitely kill you!"

  Although his face was calm and unusual, no one would doubt Xiao Ji's determination and anger in his heart at this moment!

  Since childhood, I have never lost my parents' extreme strictness and have never knelt down to anyone, even the highest leader of China!

  The Silver Ribbon Fish Grand Commander changed color instantly upon hearing this.

  "Fine, fine, fine! If so, then die!"

  The Silver Ribbon Fish General let out a loud roar, opened its huge mouth and bit towards Xiao Ji's seven-inch location.

  "Boom!"

  A burst of rubble flying sound, the silver belt fish led the broken stones out of its mouth, and looked up.

  The place where Xiao Ji was originally standing had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the crater caused by his own attack.

  "Where did that guy go?"

  The Silver Ribbon Fish General let out a loud roar, looking left and right, but there was no sign of Xiao Ji anywhere.

  At this moment, Xiao Ji was bathing in the rolling and galloping medicinal river. Countless medicinal auras flowed into his body through his wounds, while the medicinal water, as usual, did not flow into his body at all.

  "You actually suffered such a serious injury, fortunately you didn't die on the spot, otherwise even Medicine River wouldn't be able to save you."

  Hao Fu is now standing on the riverbank, gazing at Xiao Ji who is floating in the medicinal water.

  "Why must you be so stubborn, insisting on taking that hit from the Sevenfold Body Forging Fist? Luckily, your opponent didn't use full force; otherwise, with your physique, you wouldn't have been able to withstand it."

  Xiao Ji's body had recovered somewhat at this moment, and the recovery ability of Yao He was indeed extraordinary. Although he couldn't rely on it to train, its ability to recover his physical body was extremely strong.

  Xiao Ji looked at the empty space where Huang was, and his original wariness towards Huang had turned into gratitude in his heart. The other's concern was indeed genuine, if not for Huang's help, he would never have been able to cultivate to his current level.

  "We should have collected a considerable amount of demonic beast blood by now, I need to accelerate my cultivation progress!" Xiao Ji raised his head and glanced at Huang, his unyielding determination seemed to emanate from his very being.

  Hao nodded slightly:

  "I've collected nearly a million demonic beasts' blood, enough for you to break through to the fourth stage of Body Refining in your strongest state. However, first prioritize healing your wounds."

  Xiao Ji responded with a sound, and in his heart, he had made arrangements for his own cultivation.

  In his past life, Xiao Ji was able to cultivate to the Heavenly Stage with a lifespan of over 30 years. Apart from his extraordinary talent and wisdom, he also relied on his own devilish cultivation method to rapidly break through. Although at this time as a snake body, he had lost human agility, but with this medicinal river that could repair his physical body, he could become even stronger than in his past life!

  Slowly closing his eyes, he began to practice the breathing and exhaling techniques of the Dragon-Tiger Bone Refining Fist.

  As expected, the rolling medicinal energy was affected by the Dragon-Tiger Bone-Forging Fist and frantically surged into Xiao Ji's body, repairing his damaged meridians and bones, making them even stronger.

  The intense pain transmitted from his body deeply stimulated Xiao Ji's nerves. Xiao Ji's heart returned to its origin, embracing the unity of his true self, unmoving with a will as firm as a rock, tightly guarding his heart and not being affected by the pain.

  Tendons snapped, reborn! Bones shattered, reconnected again!

  That rolling medicinal energy, combined with Xiao Qi's own astonishing recovery ability, caused countless cells and bones to rapidly regenerate, divide, and his entire body's injuries were recovering at an unimaginable speed.

  "It will probably take about two days for Xiao Ji's body to fully recover in the Medicine River." Huan muttered to himself, just as he was about to hide his figure and meditate.

  "What?!"

  Hao, who was just about to leave, looked incredulously at the Medicine River, which was churning like a boiling pot. A dark green python, several feet long, was twisting and turning in it, without showing any signs of injury!

  "This is just a short hour, and the body that was on the verge of death has completely recovered, and even made great progress. How is this possible? Even if you take a rare and precious medicine, it's impossible to fully recover in just one hour!" Huo's mind couldn't believe it, staring tightly at Xiao Ji in the medicine river.

  Xiao Ji rolled around in the medicine river for a while, and found that his whole body had fully recovered. His strength was even stronger than before he was injured. His muscles, bones, and blood vessels stored a lot of medicinal energy, which nourished his entire body continuously.

  Crawled lightly onto the shore, but found that the vast sky was staring straight at oneself.

  "Hao, what's wrong?" Xiao Ji looked at Hao and asked in puzzlement.

  "Oh, it's nothing. I just saw that you recovered so quickly and was a bit surprised. Are you sure your body has fully recovered?" Huo asked again to confirm.

  Xiao Ji shook his body and burst out a loud crackling sound.

  "I've fully recovered and feel a significant increase in strength." Xiao Ji smiled slightly.

  "That's good." Haung nodded.

  "The speed of physical recovery is astonishing, what kind of demon is this? I've heard that the first of the four ancient sacred beasts, the Eastern Supreme Sacred Beast - Qinglong, has such a terrifying recovery ability. Could he be the descendant of the Qinglong Sacred Beast?" Huo's mind was racing, his eyes fixed on Xiao Ji's body.

  "Do you have any impression of what happened to your parents?" Haoh thought for a moment and decided it was better to ask Xiaoji.

  Xiao Ji didn't know who the snake's parents were three years ago and could only shake his head.

  "I don't remember at all, from birth until now, I've always been alone, and have never seen my parents."

  Hao nodded, many divine beasts or ancient demon clans' powerful beings, after giving birth to their offspring, left. Leaving behind their descendants, letting them grow up alone in the cruel nature, tempering themselves. Fortunately, they will have the opportunity to ask for a higher level of realm in the future!

  However, Xiao Ji's own recovery ability was limited. He relied on the breathing and exhalation techniques of the Dragon Tiger Bone Fist to stimulate the medicinal energy to ravage his spirit, crazily promoting cell growth, in order to recover from injuries at such a rapid pace. In reality, it wasn't as miraculous as Huang thought.

  "Next, draw the blood of a million demonic beasts, flush your body, refine and purify, allowing you to rapidly break through the Blood Refining Realm and enter the fifth stage of Body Refining - the Bone Refining Realm!" Haoyue said to Xiao Ji, as he shot out a golden light that enveloped the surroundings, causing the space around them to suddenly change.

  "In my treasure, I can freely transform space." Hao explained to Xiao Ji, who looked somewhat astonished.

  Xiao Ji nodded upon hearing this and looked around him.

  Here is still a stone chamber, but in the center of the stone chamber, there is a pool of water.

  At this moment, the pool was completely covered with thick and dense fresh blood, becoming a bloody pool!

  "This is the million demon beast blood I've collected. If you enter it and soak for 49 days, you can absorb the essence of this million demon beast blood into your body, completely transforming your bloodline, providing endless power for your future Body Refining realm!" Huo's tone was filled with excitement, as in the past, when watching countless humans cultivate, they could only use spiritual medicine to change their bodies, barely breaking through the Blood Refining realm by purging impurities from their blood.

  But the demon beast doesn't need to be like this at all.

  The world of demonic beasts believes in survival of the fittest, and the Blood Refining Realm must be triggered by the bloodline of living beings to obtain the strongest power when breaking through.

  It is not allowed for humans to slaughter indiscriminately, although they can hunt and obtain the blood of demonic beasts. However, the price paid will be to become a half-human, half-demon. If humans mix with the blood of demonic beasts, can they still be considered complete humans?

  Even if it's a demon beast, it's basically impossible to get millions of spiritual blood to break through itself. Now, if not for encountering a great battle at the bottom of the sea, how could it be so easy to gather the blood of millions of demon beasts?

  "With the blood of these millions of lives, perhaps I can try that legendary divine art!" Huo's heart stirred as he recalled the ancient art of Blood Refining he had heard about in his past life.

  "One million demon beasts' blood, forged into an indestructible body!"

  Hao Da let out a loud shout, and the golden light poured into the blood pool, condensing the fresh blood of countless lives into tiny red lights that floated in mid-air.

  At this moment, Xiao Ji swiftly jumped into the blood pool and coiled in the center of it.

  Hao looked at Xiao Ji with satisfaction, golden light constantly surging and rapidly rippling.

  "A million lives lost, crying out to the highest heavens!"

  A million demonic beasts' blood floating in the air was drawn by a golden light, condensing into an esoteric pattern. A primordial, terrifying aura of the highest order emanated from this esoteric pattern, as if a slumbering ancient evil demon was about to awaken!

  "Through ancient and modern times, across countless eras, the blood of a primordial ferocious beast bursts forth! Burst! Burst!"

  Hao's body shone with golden light, a timeless river of eternity emerged, floating amidst countless bloody glows.

  The mysterious pattern formed by the blood of millions of lives was completely wrapped in the vast and mysterious river of time, which stretched infinitely. One end transformed into a giant hand of time, which suddenly reached into the mysterious pattern, quickly pulling out several drops of blood, as if it had really returned to the past in the river of time, pulling out the blood of an unknown terrifying existence.

  "Roar!"

  A deafening roar of terror, bursting forth from the mysterious diagram, as if a ferocious ancient beast was about to pierce through the ages and strike down its opponent across the void.

  At this moment, the pointer of time points to the mysterious pattern formed by the blood of millions of lives, and turns it over, pouring all the blood of millions of lives into that mysterious pattern, only then can the anger of that unknown terrifying existence be calmed.

  Hao received the long river of time and smiled at Xiao Ji, who was shocked in his heart:

  "I never thought that the blood of a million lives could actually be exchanged for three drops of the ancient ferocious beast's blood. With these three drops of fresh blood, your body will be elevated to an unimaginable level!"
