Chapter 224: You Have the Blood of the Ji Family in Your Veins (Requesting Monthly Votes)
Crimson-gold divine blood splattered from Qin Tianchen's neck.
At this moment, he was still in the Divine Power State, yet Li Hao had shattered his head with a single, brutal punch!
Witnessing this scene, the crowd gathered at the cliff's edge fell silent.
Several exceptional figures in the crowd were left speechless with shock, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.
The young man, with his Treasure Robe torn to shreds, wielded a silver sword and withstood the attacks of two Ultimate Mastery Realm cultivators. Several wounds had appeared on his body, but they quickly healed, showcasing his astonishing regenerative abilities.
The Sacred Heart Amulet that had been protecting Qin Tianchen failed to block Li Hao's punch. While the Sacred Heart Amulet was effective, its power was comparable to that of the Dao Mind Realm. The rarer and more refined versions could match the full force of a Fate Reversal Realm attack. However, the power Li Hao unleashed far exceeded what the Sacred Heart Amulet could endure.
After all, this was just a talisman, not a Sacred Heart Celestial Treasure.
"Young Master!!"
The two elders, seeing Qin Tianchen severely injured, were horrified. They roared and unleashed the Qin Family's secret techniques, their auras surging to the peak of the Ultimate Mastery Realm. Their combined attacks struck Li Hao simultaneously.
Li Hao's aura surged as he aimed to kill the Qin Family's Young Master.
Boom!
He stirred a Sword Tide, sweeping it out to wash over his opponent's body.
Despite his head being severed, Qin Tianchen's physical body was incredibly formidable. In the Divine Power State, the blood from his neck quickly stopped, and there were signs of his head regenerating.
His divine soul remained hidden within his body, not daring to show itself. Seeing Li Hao's frenzied attack, Qin Tianchen's heart trembled. Was this guy trying to take him down with him?
"Reversing Fate!"
Fueled by rage, he roared and unleashed his Reversing Fate power.
Power rippled through the void, and the attacks from the two elders seemed to accelerate. Just as Li Hao's Sword Qi was about to completely destroy Qin Tianchen's body, their attacks hit first.
With a loud boom, Li Hao was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into the ground below.
The earth cracked, and the hills shook as if a massive boulder had fallen from the sky.
But in the next moment, the ground exploded, and Li Hao, enveloped in divine flames, emerged from the crater. His aura radiated outward, and although his Treasure Robe was stained with crimson-gold divine blood, his wounds had already healed.
What a fearsome physical body!
Everyone watched in shock. This young man's body was like a top-tier divine weapon. Even Ultimate Mastery Realm experts couldn't inflict serious damage on him!
After all, the aura he exuded was only at the Three Eternities Realm!
A divine race prodigy!
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but recall Li Hao's earlier words, holding their breath.
Could it be that there were hidden secrets deep within the Great Wasteland, truly ancient divine races that existed?
"This didn't kill him?!"
The two elders were stunned to see Li Hao rise so quickly. Their attacks were terrifying, yet they had no effect on this young man.
"Young Master, run!"
One of the elders suddenly reacted and urged.
The other elder's face also changed. Given the young man's ferocity, which exceeded their understanding, and with Young Master's Reversing Fate power used up, it was unwise to stay any longer.
"I, Qin Tianchen, swear that I will not rest until I kill you!"
Qin Tianchen regained his composure, fixing the young man's image in his Dao Heart.
His brother was dead, and he had lost a life. He was filled with intense anger, but as a prodigy, he controlled his rage.
Without hesitation, his divine soul enveloped his headless body, and he fled into the distance.
One elder provided cover, while the other charged at Li Hao.
"Die!"
This elder's major meridians were shattered, his divine soul burning as he unleashed the Qin Family's secret techniques. His body shone like a brilliant sun, radiating overwhelming power.
Li Hao wanted to pursue, but seeing the elder blocking his path, his expression changed slightly. The dying counterattack of an Ultimate Mastery Realm expert, especially one from an Ancient Holy Clan, was something he needed to take seriously.
The Heaven-Earth Meridian rapidly drew upon the power of heaven and earth, and Li Hao channeled more power, reaching forty percent in an instant!
His flesh and blood swelled, showing signs of being stretched to the limit.
If it reached fifty percent, his surface flesh would start to crack.
Boom!
Li Hao shot into the sky, engaging the elder in a fierce battle.
The two fought in a chaotic mix, with divine light from lightning and fire intertwining, and sword qi surging into the heavens.
Such a devastating battle made the onlookers at the cliff edge retreat, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.
After half an incense stick's time, the elder's burning divine soul and major meridians gradually weakened, having been completely burned out.
His robes were torn, his body covered in blood, and his already hunched frame now looked even more frail and aged, but his eyes revealed extreme reluctance and fear.
Li Hao, too, was drenched in blood, but his body bore no wounds. The torn flesh had healed during the battle, displaying a terrifying recovery rate!
The elder panted slightly, then unleashed Enduring Power, reigniting the battle. Nearby mountains were flattened, and the ground in front of the cliff was riddled with deep craters.
In the end, the elder's strength waned again, and Li Hao cleaved him with a single sword strike.
This Flowing Silver Divine Sword, an eighth-cast divine weapon, was now riddled with notches and had a damaged blade.
Li Hao, holding the broken sword, performed the Spirit Sacrifice True Demon Art without hesitation, openly extracting the elder's physical essence and converting it into refined blood power to strengthen himself.
When the elder's corpse withered and turned gray, Li Hao casually tapped it, turning it to ashes and leaving no trace, to prevent his cultivation techniques from being discovered.
Having done this, Li Hao turned his gaze to the crowd at the cliff edge.
This single glance made the onlookers feel as if their hearts had skipped a beat.
This young man was too ruthless, having killed Qin Tianchen's younger brother and then one of Qin Tianchen's lives. Even the elder generation of the Qin Family, who had reached the Ultimate Mastery Realm, could not defeat him. It was truly terrifying!
Moreover, Li Hao's aura grew stronger the more he fought, a skill that they could not comprehend.
His body seemed like a bottomless pit, growing more fierce with each battle, like a savage beast, giving off an invincible aura.
At this moment, Li Hao reined in his divine power state and ended his Transcend to Immortality, feeling aches and swelling all over his body. However, these sensations gradually subsided as his body healed itself.
He held the broken sword and walked toward the cliff.
With each step the young man took, the onlookers felt their hearts tremble.
Finally, someone could no longer bear it and turned to flee, intent on spreading the news of the divine race prodigy's emergence in the Great Wasteland!
"That Crimson Blood Vine Demon King's Second Blood Body is a great nourishment for you."
Ji Yunge, hidden within Li Hao, transmitted this guidance after the battle ended.
However, he did not comment on Li Hao's battle with Qin Tianchen, as if deep in thought about something else.
Li Hao looked at the cave on the cliff, where a crimson blood vine lay still.
The others followed Li Hao's gaze, their eyes shifting to the cliff cave. A few of the most outstanding men and women present had their expressions change, but they hesitated, taking no action.
They had seen that the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King had given birth to a Second Blood Body, making it a vulnerable time.
But with this young man standing at the cliff edge, who dared to act?
Even the elder generation of the Qin Family, who had reached the Ultimate Mastery Realm, had been killed. Unless the strongest elders of the Qin Family core came, all other family and tribal members would have to back off.
What frightened them even more was the name the young man had revealed.
The divine race of the Great Wasteland!
Unheard of!
Just one young man from this divine race was so formidable. What would it be like if the elders behind him appeared?
Seeing that no one was taking action, Li Hao did not hesitate. He extended his Object Control power into the cave.
Inside the cave, a three-zhang-long blood-red vine lay beside the thick vine of the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King.
Seemingly sensing Li Hao, the blood-red vine lifted its body, writhing like a venomous snake, and a voice entered Li Hao's ears:
"Please, young man, spare my blood body. You can eat my main body; the power it contains is no less than that of my blood body. I just want to leave this place..."
Li Hao raised an eyebrow. This plaintive voice belonged to the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King?
"Why should I choose not to eat both?" Li Hao countered.
"If you do that, I can't defeat you, but I can make my main body explode and tear my blood body apart before you get it. Then you'll get nothing!"
The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King said, clearly making a desperate choice.
Li Hao's eyes flickered. It seemed that obtaining the blood body would indeed be a challenge.
If it were another tribe in conflict, the Demon King might not have made such a desperate choice. After all, in a chaotic battle, there would still be a slim chance of escape. But in front of him, there was no hope at all.
In such a situation, it might indeed resort to extreme measures.
Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "Let me taste your true form first, and don't resist."
"If you can swear by your Dao Heart to spare my blood body, I will not resist..." the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King said cautiously.
"I haven't yet condensed my Dao Heart."
"..."
Only now did the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King realize that Li Hao's aura was only at the Three Eternities Realm.
This young man was actually just a Three Immortalities cultivator!
"Then, use your Martial Dao to guarantee it..."
"You're getting a bit too chatty. You don't have the right to make conditions. Or, you can fight me. I'm not tired anyway", Li Hao replied coldly.
"..."
The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King hesitated. If it were anyone else, it wouldn't so easily agree, but it had seen everything that young man did in the battle. Even if it fought to the death, it had no chance of winning.
"Then, you have to keep your word, okay?"
It could only say with a hint of resentment.
Li Hao didn't bother to argue further. He raised his hand, using the power of Object Control to drag the Demon King's true form toward him, then pulled one end of its body to his face.
Li Hao activated the Spirit Sacrifice True Demon Art and began to refine its true form directly.
The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King quickly transferred its divine soul to its Second Blood Body. The purpose of condensing this blood body was to escape the constraints of the Crimson Wood Corpse Ridge.
Its true form had been nurtured by the essence blood of a Pathfinder's corpse and was bound by the Dao Realm, unable to break free. It could only sacrifice thousands of years of cultivation to reincarnate and escape.
"The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King didn't even resist."
"Is he going to devour its true form as well? How brutal!"
"What cultivation technique is that? It feels so sinister. Are they really from the Divine Race, or do they seem more like demons?"
The prodigies from the various tribes watching from a distance all felt a chill. The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King, in the face of that young man's ferocity, didn't even have the thought to resist. It was truly terrifying.
Soon, the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King's true form was completely absorbed by Li Hao, and all of its Demon King's Precious Blood was refined by him.
He couldn't absorb the essence blood like an elixir, but through this cultivation technique, he could convert it, achieving an effect similar to consuming an elixir, with no side effects.
As the essence blood was refined, Li Hao felt the fatigue from the previous battle vanish, and a vigorous vitality burned within him like a furnace.
He felt that with this power, he could refine his physical body to a stronger level.
However, now was not the time for cultivation.
He fixed his gaze on the cave and said to the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King's Second Blood Body, "I'm full now. I'm leaving."
"Hey, wait!"
Seeing that Li Hao was actually going to keep his word and let it go, the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King was somewhat surprised. As Li Hao was about to leave, it hurriedly called out.
"Hmm?"
Li Hao was slightly surprised, "Are you having second thoughts?"
Crimson Blood Vine Demon King: =()
What second thoughts?
"Can you take me with you?"
The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King transmitted its voice, sounding pitiful.
Li Hao raised an eyebrow, then glanced at the Great Wasteland Heavenly Humans around him. After a moment's thought, he said, "Afraid of dying? You can follow me, but I'll need something in return."
"What do you mean by something in return?"
"I mean you have to give me a benefit."
"I can let you bite me once more, but no more than that", the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King said timidly.
The sight of Li Hao devouring its true form had terrified it. This young man was too brutal.
But Li Hao's readiness to leave also made it realize that this brutal young man had a benevolent side, so it quickly seized the opportunity to plead.
"Fine."
Li Hao agreed and then said, "Hurry up and come out of the cave. The other guy escaped, and if you take too long, he'll bring reinforcements."
"Alright!"
The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King responded. Bloodlight flashed, and it shot out of the cave, its body contracting and twisting as it quickly reached Li Hao.
"They're about to clash!"
The onlookers in the distance all focused their attention.
Then, they all widened their eyes when they saw the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King's blood body shrink into a small withered vine, wrapping around Li Hao's arm like a vine bracelet. The light dimmed, clearly indicating it had been subdued!
"Really? Without even a fight, it just acknowledged a master?"
"Is this vine demon so practical?"
"No wonder the main body didn't resist earlier. It seems they secretly communicated and made a deal!"
"I think this vine demon is using this young man to escape from here."
"Hmph, that young man isn't someone to mess with. This vine demon is playing with fire!"
Each of the prodigies from the various tribes felt a surge of frustration, but thinking of the young man's terrifying combat prowess, they could only sigh in resignation.
Li Hao didn’t linger any longer. He activated the Heaven and Earth Traceless Technique and sped off in the direction Ji Yunge had indicated earlier.
After leaving the Crimson Wood Corpse Ridge, Li Hao sensed a few subtle auras following him. He sneered and accelerated to full speed, quickly shaking off the pursuers.
"Sure enough, there are people who won’t give up. They guessed you and I would part ways outside the mountain range and planned to rob you."
After flying far enough, Li Hao spoke to the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King on his wrist.
The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King also sensed the pursuit. Hearing Li Hao’s words, he hurriedly said, "Thank you, benefactor!"
"Don’t be so quick to call me that. We had a deal. This favor isn’t free; let me take a bite."
Li Hao said.
"……"
The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King paused for a moment before obediently extending a blood vine from the vine ring to Li Hao’s mouth.
Li Hao didn’t hesitate, biting down and chewing with a crunch. The texture wasn’t great, like chewing on tough, first-rank meat.
Soon, he swallowed the blood vine and felt a warm surge of power flow into his body. However, compared to absorbing the demon king’s main body, this was too weak.
Unless he consumed it entirely.
"Here is good enough. You can leave now."
After flying several thousand miles, Li Hao told the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King.
Along the way, he encountered four demon kings, but he easily dispatched them, melting their bodies and absorbing their essence. Combined with the robust power from the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King’s main body, Li Hao’s physical body was refined to the level of a Ninth-Forged Divine Weapon.
Now, even in the Dao Domain of the Great Peace Dao Realm, Li Hao could barely hold his own.
"Benefactor, can I continue to follow you?"
The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King extended a tendril from the vine ring, gently caressing Li Hao’s arm as if pleading.
Li Hao was surprised. How could it have acknowledged him as a master so quickly?
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll eat you?"
"……This outside world seems more dangerous than I imagined. Could you, benefactor, take me to a safer place?"
The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King asked cautiously.
Li Hao realized the truth.
It wasn’t that he was particularly charming.
It was the overwhelming presence of the demon kings here.
"Alright, but before that, I’ll need daily interest", Li Hao said.
The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King fell silent for a moment before agreeing, "Alright, I can do that."
"Using your human terms, should we pinky swear to keep the agreement?" it asked.
At the same time, it extended a blood vine tendril from the vine ring, curling it like a pinky finger.
Li Hao glanced at it and said coolly, "Forget it. Sometimes, even pinky promises aren’t kept."
"Is that so?"
The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King was puzzled but quickly added, "Do you think I’m a demon and therefore deceitful? Let’s pinky swear; I’ll definitely keep my word!"
Li Hao snorted and ignored it.
Seeing that Li Hao wasn’t responding, the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King slowly wrapped its blood vine tendril around Li Hao’s pinky finger:
"I’ll pinky swear on my own, then. I’m a demon, but I always keep my word!"
Li Hao continued flying forward.
He moved swiftly, occasionally stopping to rest before continuing his journey.
"Kid, you’re part of the Ji Family, right?"
After a long silence, Ji Yunge, who had only spoken once since Li Hao’s battle with Qin Tianchen, now spoke again.
Hearing his voice, Li Hao’s body stiffened slightly.
"Senior, don’t you already know my background?"
Li Hao quickly regained his composure and replied telepathically.
Ji Yunge laughed lightly, "You’re still putting on an act in front of me. During your battle with Qin Tianchen, your divine blood was exposed. Although you heal quickly and have cultivated some technique to mask your aura, making it hard even for me to detect, the aura in the blood you spilled when injured couldn’t be hidden."
"You have the blood of the Ji Family in your veins!"
