Mighty Lord

Chapter 1178: Chapter 464 Divine Blood

"What a pity!"

In the end, those two deities were still expelled from the world. If it had been before, Zhou Tian should have felt relieved after successfully forcing those two deities to retreat. After all, considering their strength, it was no small feat for Zhou Tian, with his own strength, to have driven them back. To withstand their assault until the end was already a victory for Zhou Tian.

But now, Zhou Tian had a different thought, and so what could have been considered a victory when it appeared before him, also made him somewhat dissatisfied.

The descent of the gods was both a crisis and an opportunity. Without the capability, the descent of the gods naturally represented a great crisis for anyone. In the face of the gods’ frighteningly strong power, any living beings they set their sights on would hardly escape their chase and kill. That was Zhou Tian, if it had been any other monsters or NPCs, they probably would have been killed by them by now.

However, although the descent of the gods was a huge crisis for their enemies, it also came with a tremendous opportunity. After all, whether it was divine blood or their collection of treasures, these were things that ordinary living beings could only dream of acquiring. A lower-level creature obtaining a drop of divine blood could possibly upgrade to a superior being. With such an incredible opportunity before him, if Zhou Tian managed to kill those two deities, even with his current strength, he would surely achieve a breakthrough and see his power advance once again. freewebnovёl.ƈom

Alas, although Zhou Tian managed to defeat those two deities using the power of the crystal bomb, that was all he could do—defeat them. It wasn’t just that those two deities had already been expelled from the world; even if they hadn’t left, Zhou Tian had run out of crystal bombs and thus lost the means to contend against the deities.

At that moment, Zhou Tian felt only a brief pang of regret for not having killed the two deities. Afterward, he became extremely satisfied with the outcome.

Then, after the deities had retreated, Zhou Tian did not rush to deal with his enemies hostile to him; instead, he flew directly towards the seabed where the combat had taken place.

When it came to dealing with hostile forces, Zhou Tian was not in a hurry at all. Although these hostile forces had made him seethe with anger after this incident, Zhou Tian could sense that his position was far from being downgraded—at least based on the performance of those forces, he didn’t believe they had the power to knock him from his current realm.

Thus, although Zhou Tian would certainly counterattack, he was more eager to handle some other matters than to deal with them. freēwebnovel.com

Combat had indeed ended, but Zhou Tian would not forget that, during the previous battle, his efforts had wounded those two deities.

Now, those deities had retreated, but the injuries they had suffered would not disappear. And at this moment, what Zhou Tian was focused on was the divine blood they had shed when wounded.

Divine blood’s effect outdid ten thousand medicines in previous epochs; it could improve one’s cultivation level, physical constitution, and even directly aid in understanding the laws. It could be said that even a pig, after consuming enough divine blood, would become a divine pig with extraordinary strength. Knowing its effect, one could imagine just how valuable divine blood used to be.

Now, although the value of divine blood had greatly decreased due to the changes in the World Rules, the main reason was that living beings in this epoch derived all their powers from the rules, and by themselves found it difficult to comprehend the rules’ powers. That was why the divine blood’s value diminished.

But in reality, no matter how much it was weakened, divine blood was still divine blood. Not to mention its value to ordinary creatures, even for Zhou Tian, divine blood was definitely a coveted treasure. If there was no chance to acquire it, Zhou Tian would naturally not say much. But since there was an opportunity to obtain such a treasure, Zhou Tian would certainly not let it pass by.

Therefore, knowing that he had injured the two deities and successfully left behind their divine blood, Zhou Tian naturally preferred to focus his main energy on collecting the divine blood rather than rescuing his territory, which was unlikely to be breached. After all, collecting divine blood would not take too long.

As a result, relying on his sensing ability, Zhou Tian quickly found the first pool of divine blood.

But...

"Is this really blood?" Divine blood was indeed divine blood, and while Zhou Tian always liked to regard those gods as a group of special living beings, facing divine blood still inevitably caused him to entertain some other thoughts about the gods, finding it hard to view them as ordinary living beings.

The blood of living beings, no matter how different, is just that. At most, the blood might contain some other ingredients, be it elements or poisons; fundamentally, such blood is not much different from ordinary blood.
