Free Web NovelChapter 558: Chapter 556: Hahaha, He’s Finished
This drop of essence blood came much too unexpectedly.
Xu Yang was about to go mad.
What cultivation level am I at right now?
Shouldn’t you have sealed this drop of essence blood before giving it to me?
Though its force didn’t reach the Shenxiao Realm, it’s still not something he can withstand now.
Forget the spirit marks—even if he urged the Divine Tripod to the limit, it still couldn’t suppress it!
As for the Heaven-Locking Divine Chain, under the power of this essence blood, it was like brittle paper—shattered at the slightest touch!
Boom!
Thunderous explosions erupted inside Xu Yang, as if his muscles, bones, and flesh were forcibly blasted apart.
His skin split open, blood splattering everywhere!
The horrific scene made everyone inhale sharply, unable to contain their shock.
Yai Ruotong stared blankly at this, unable to keep a look of delight from her face.
He’s finished!
"That essence blood wasn’t sealed—there’s no way he can endure it."
"What is Divine Sparrow thinking?"
"To gift the essence blood without sealing it? If Xu Yang dies here, the War King Families won’t let this go lightly!"
"It probably won’t go that far."
Everyone watched, hearts pounding, their scalps tingling in fear.
For the moment, not one of them was envious anymore.
The essence blood was good, but not something they were blessed to enjoy.
Shi Hu’s face was filled with worry.
Jun Baimu, on the other hand, despite his shock, wore a mocking grin.
Though he dared not offend Xu Yang, seeing Xu Yang suffer misfortune was a delight.
Xu Yang dying here was unlikely, but if he was left severely injured, what a great turn!
Blood Ming Divine Sparrow stood tall and motionless, watching Xu Yang with deep-set, chilling eyes.
Its motives were unfathomable!
Spurt!
Xu Yang coughed out a mouthful of blood, shuddering uncontrollably.
He truly couldn’t endure anymore.
Even with his utmost ascension, he still couldn’t resist the impact of the essence blood’s power.
"Damn it, what do I do?"
"In ten breaths at most, my body will completely collapse!"
"All my previous progress and refinement will be wasted!"
He wouldn’t die, but he would be gravely wounded.
His strength would suffer a great loss!
Even if he recovered, for a time he’d be left with a serious hidden wound.
Right now, he had no mind to ponder the intent or deeper meaning behind Blood Ming Divine Sparrow’s actions.
"Celestial Refining Divine Tripod!"
"My only hope is this treasure!"
Xu Yang bit down hard on his lip, his expression crazed.
Clang!
Boom!
The Divine Tripod suddenly expanded, making the entire plaza tremble.
The Heaven-Burning Divine Fire was snuffed out in a flash; Xu Yang vaulted himself straight into the Divine Tripod.
With his true body stepping inside, he smashed through the void and reached the edge of the Tripod’s inner world.
On the outside, everyone watched in confusion.
Only a single pill tripod was left!
"What is he doing?"
"This tripod looks impressive, but it can’t possibly hold down Blood Ming Divine Sparrow’s essence blood, right?"
"He’s not seriously planning to refine himself into a pill, is he?" Yai Ruotong couldn’t help but laugh.
An illustrious top prodigy, ranked second on the Celestial Pride List, now so wretched and miserable—who would have imagined it!
Blood Ming Divine Sparrow didn’t move, but deep in its gaze flashed a glint of surprise as it stared at the Divine Tripod.
It faintly sensed something obscure and blurry—a ripple that made even it uneasy.
How could this be possible?
It had lived thousands of years, seen countless treasures, cultivated to the peak of Shenxiao, and its power surpassed even Chi Xue Dao-zhu!
For any being or treasure to make it uneasy, no exaggeration—a being of that level would only be among the ancient monsters of the seven top clans.
There was no way such a thing would be found on a prodigy who was only at the True Monarch stage.
No matter how extraordinary his potential, he simply wasn’t qualified to command such artifacts.
What exactly is hidden inside that tripod?
At the edge of the Divine Tripod’s world.
Xu Yang didn’t hesitate and crashed straight into it.
Boom!
Agonizing pain flooded in from soul and body alike.
It was as if he were sliced by a thousand blades, burning and being torn apart!
Assaulted inside and out, Xu Yang even heard the sound of his body collapsing and shattering.
At the edge of this world, countless chains appeared.
Within them, Evil Qi roared, spurting forth.
For a moment, demons seemed to dance wildly.
The rampaging essence blood inside Xu Yang was struck as if by thunder—suddenly cowering and going dormant.
Chains and Evil Qi radiated an ancient, desolate force, more primeval than the Spirit Realm itself.
Just a drop of essence blood was quashed and suppressed on the spot.
Xu Yang dared not leave; for now, he could only rely on the Heaven-Locking Divine Chains’ ancient power to awe it into submission.
The Evil Qi flooded into his body, surging straight for the essence blood.
In his body, that drop of essence blood was now the most powerful existence.
Boom!
A shrill screech came from the essence blood, quivering and thrashing under the Evil Qi like a dying animal.
Xu Yang, reckless of the danger, madly absorbed the Evil Qi that spilled out. freёwebnovel.com
Once, twice, three times...
The essence blood gradually fractured and splintered apart.
Seeing this, Xu Yang finally let out a sigh of relief.
Yet feeling his own body torn into pieces, his mood was mixed—a tragic comedy.
What the hell was this?
The scattered essence blood remained fearsome.
At this moment, Xu Yang didn’t dare absorb or refine it at all.
His state now resembled a dying old man.
Fissures covered his flesh; any movement and he’d fall apart.
Never mind the essence blood—even a drop of true demon blood could collapse his body now.
Xu Yang, taking advantage of the Evil Qi still suppressing the essence blood, didn’t dare linger—he shot out of the Divine Tripod’s world like lightning.
Blood Ming Divine Sparrow saw Xu Yang reappear, his face awash with shock.
He realized he could sense his own essence blood, split into pieces and suppressed by a force of indescribable, ancient Evil Qi.
He was utterly stunned.
Xu Yang reappeared and immediately stored the Divine Tripod back into his body.
Then, in one gulp, he swallowed all the Divine Sparrow’s essence blood.
In an instant, Blood Ming Divine Sparrow sensed its essence blood completely vanish without a trace.
Xu Yang sat cross-legged on the ground, looking up at the Divine Sparrow, emotions churning.
Should he be grateful? That essence blood almost destroyed him!
Ungrateful? He had still obtained a true drop of essence blood!
Once he slowly refined it, his physique would be strengthened severalfold.
Swoosh!
Blood Ming Divine Sparrow cast a deep look at Xu Yang, then suddenly swept up endless blood flames and disappeared without a trace.
Xu Yang froze slightly, a frown creasing his brow.
He still couldn’t figure out what that divine bird was up to.
All the same, the result was good enough.
The plaza was left in utter silence.
The crowd stared dreamily at Xu Yang, unable to take it in.
"Did he get a benefit or not?"
"This is just miserable—he was strongest, lasted the longest, but ended up with his body on the verge of collapse!"
Xu Yang’s miserable state was plain for all to see.
Shattered, on the verge of falling apart.
Frankly, even a single High-tier True Monarch could finish him off with a slap!
Jun Baimu shook his head, sneering—wounds this heavy would take an age to heal.
And now the slot competition was about to start.
Could he even recover to his peak in time? That was a big question.
Against Xiao Ming, the outcome was already set in stone!
Still—at this moment, he felt no need for further mockery.
Jun Baimu patted Yai Ruotong’s perky butt. "Wait here for me."
He then strode to the plaza’s edge, and under everyone’s puzzled watches, shouted toward the distance: "Jun Baimu of the Jun Family, requests audience with Dao-Master Chi Xue!"
His voice thundered like rolling clouds, echoing into the depths of the arena.
"Why does he want to see Dao-Master Chi Xue?"
"Could Jun Baimu have another agenda coming here?"
"With his status, meeting Dao-Master Chi Xue shouldn’t be a problem."
Xu Yang, too, cast a suspicious look his way.
Just as he suspected—Jun Baimu really did have a hidden motive!
"I know your purpose for coming. Tell Patriarch Jun I have no interest in that matter!"
A cold, indifferent voice drifted down from the distant world.
Jun Baimu froze on the spot.
Was that a rejection?
