Chapter 389: Chapter 246: Giant Spirit Awakens
This was a feeling he hadn’t even had when facing Ji Boyan.
"Blood Tyrant True Yang..." Qin Xuan murmured the name, his heart in turmoil.
To think that completing a Purgatory Level Blood Talisman could awaken such a behemoth.
’Damn it, just how many secrets was the Blood Demon Sword Sect hiding?’
The Holy Sect’s waters ran deeper than he had imagined.
’I’m still too weak. Before a being like that, my current cultivation and authority are nowhere near enough.’
A powerful sense of crisis washed over Qin Xuan.
He had reason to believe the Ten Thousand Forms of Parting Sorrow Demon Monarch and the Divine Blood Refining True Demon Monarch in the Blood Pool Sword Tomb were even stronger than that entity!
The only thing that gave Qin Xuan some peace of mind was that the process of a Demon Cultivator becoming a True Demon could seemingly only succeed within the Blood Pool Sword Tomb. As long as he didn’t set foot inside, he should be relatively safe for the time being.
...
「Huai Heavy Industry Company, within a secret chamber.」
Qin Xuan sat cross-legged. Before him floated a Demon Pill, crimson as a flame.
A phantom scorpion tail flickered in and out of view, its flames burning brightly.
Qin Xuan took a deep breath and formed a hand seal. The Five Poison True Understanding technique circulated within him. Strands of pure Demonic Essence transformed into invisible tentacles that coiled around the pill, beginning to absorb the immense fire-poison essence inside.
SIZZLE...
The Demon Pill trembled violently, its crimson, poisonous flames attempting to lash out, but Qin Xuan forcibly refined it with his even more tyrannical Demonic Essence.
A torrent of scorching energy flooded his meridians, bringing with it searing pain.
Fine beads of sweat broke out on his temples. Qin Xuan’s body trembled slightly, but he gritted his teeth and held on, guiding the power to surge through his body and temper his Demonic Essence.
After an unknown amount of time, the Demon Pill’s glow faded completely, and it crumbled to dust.
"Open!"
Qin Xuan’s eyes snapped open, a sharp glint flashing within them for an instant.
He formed a hand seal. His Demonic Essence surged like a tide as he forcibly stripped away strands of pure and violent fire-poison essence. These transformed into streams of crimson energy that flowed into his body.
BOOM!
It was as if some internal barrier had shattered. Qin Xuan’s aura flared, and the demonic light surrounding him grew deeper and more condensed.
’After refining three Demon Pills, I can temporarily boost my cultivation to the Purple Mansion Tenth Level!’
Qin Xuan’s eyes lit up.
One had to understand that the higher the realm, the more difficult it was to break through.
But with the Five Poison Fake Pill Method, he was already invincible among cultivators of the same rank.
However, in the instant Qin Xuan’s mind relaxed and he prepared to consolidate his new realm...
VMMM!
Deep within his sea of consciousness, the Golden-Breaking Blood Talisman, long dormant inside him, suddenly erupted with a blinding, blood-red light.
A colossal, savage, blood-colored phantom roared and charged forth, instantly flooding Qin Xuan’s sea of consciousness.
"Giant Spirit Blood Demon!"
Qin Xuan’s mind reeled. His consciousness plunged into his sea of consciousness as he stared in astonishment at the blood-red demonic phantom that had taken form.
"Without entering the Blood Pool Sword Tomb for nourishment, how could you possibly have awakened on your own?!"
Hearing this, the Giant Spirit Blood Demon’s True Spirit adopted a seemingly solemn expression on its savage face. Its voice was a deep rumble, yet it carried a bizarrely righteous air.
"My young friend, do not be alarmed. It was your successive breakthroughs, your vigorous qi and blood, the stability of your Purple Mansion, and the pure energy you drew upon while refining the Demon Pill that inadvertently nourished me, allowing me to awaken ahead of schedule."
The Giant Spirit Blood Demon’s blood-red eyes widened as it looked at Qin Xuan with great sincerity.
"To express my gratitude, I shall now pass on my life’s worth of cultivation and memories to you, my young friend. This will help you point directly toward the Great Dao, so I do hope you won’t resist!"
Alarm bells screamed in Qin Xuan’s mind. He immediately sensed something was wrong and snapped, "You’d be that kind?"
The Giant Spirit Blood Demon’s True Spirit looked utterly magnanimous, its voice brimming with righteous integrity.
"There are, of course, some... insignificant side effects. The price is that your original memories will gradually fade away. This is a necessary part of the fusion process, so rest assured, my young friend..."
"I will live on in your place!"
BOOM!
Before its words had even faded, a terrifying, constricting power descended.
To his horror, Qin Xuan found he couldn’t even move a finger. His consciousness began to blur.
