Jian Chen also stared fixedly at the clump of essence blood that was being refined in the sky. He felt rather uncertain inside.
He understood the process of the ritual. The Darkstar race would first fuse the blood of all races into the White Tiger's essence blood, increasing the level of the power of the bloodline. The final goal was to increase the power of Seiyu's bloodline to a level that was extremely close to the bloodline of a Grand Exalt.
Of course, this so-called extremely close to the bloodline of a Grand Exalt was only equivalent to a first generation descendant of a Grand Exalt. It was not actually reaching the same level of bloodline as a Grand Exalt.
What the Darkstar race wanted to do was increase the level of Seiyu's bloodline to the level of a first generation descendant of a Grand Exalt. Even though he was not a true descendant and did not possess a Grand Exalt's bloodline, he would still be able to sense the remnant power of the Grand Exalt of the Darkstar race. The connection would be so great that no Darkstar clansman would be able to achieve it.
Even the Darkstar Emperor would not be able to do it.
As a result, not only would Seiyu's chances of triggering the remnant power of a Grand Exalt increase drastically, but the remnant power he could trigger would become even more powerful as well.
"Is the level of bloodline really that easy to increase?" Jianchen asked himself. He was also a Primordial realm expert. He had spent many years in the Saints' World, so he was rather knowledgeable. He had never seen or heard of a method like how the Darkstar race used various types of essence blood to increase the level of Seiyu's bloodline in the Saints' World.
As a result, he became slightly worried as he watched the clump of essence blood slowly increase under the secret technique of the Darkstar race. He was worried that this would lead to some hidden problems for Seiyu.
Otherwise, if the level of bloodline could be increased so easily, there would be plenty of high level bloodlines in the Saints' World where experts were as common as clouds.
"Although Tian Shengxian has told us the exact process of the ritual, I still feel like I'm missing some crucial information. I'll wait a little longer, "thought Jianchen. He forcefully suppressed his urge to take action right now and paid close attention to the process of the ritual. After all, the Darkstar race was a race that had once given birth to a Grand Exalt. Perhaps they really did possess some wondrous methods that even the peak races of the Saints' World did not possess.
Two hours later, the three meter wide Blood Essence Sky had shrunk to the size of a fist under the refinement of the formation. As for the amount of Blood Essence Sky, it had gone from hundreds of thousands of drops to over a million, to just over a hundred drops.
This amount was almost the same as the total amount of Blood Essence they had extracted from Seiyu.
The only difference was that the level of this blood essence was clearly higher than Seiyu's own blood essence.
However, in Jianchen's opinion, even though the essence blood had improved by quite a bit, it was still nowhere near the level of the Grand Exalt's bloodline.
Under Tian Shengxian's control, a fist-sized drop of essence blood flowed from Seiyu's heart into its body.
Immediately, Sacredfeather's skinny body seemed to have received a huge amount of nutrients. It began to swell little by little, and his withered flesh and blood began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seiyu slowly opened its eyes. Its gaze was dim and lifeless, filled with a sense of weakness. Naturally, it could sense the recovery of its body, but the recovery did not seem to bring it any better. Instead, pain appeared in its eyes.
It felt as if he was suffering from some kind of torment that even a Divine Beast like him, who had reached the Divine King realm, found unbearable.
Kacha!
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out. Sacredfeather's gradually recovering flesh suddenly exploded. It was as if his body had turned into a ceramic. At that moment, cracks appeared on the ceramic.
More and more cracking sounds could be heard as more and more parts of its body exploded. The cracks continued to spread and soon covered its entire body. It really gave people the illusion that its entire body was going to shatter.
This was the result of the essence blood not matching the body. This was because Seiyu's essence blood had already been transformed and possessed the presence of the Darkstar race. As a result, from a certain perspective, the essence blood no longer belonged to the body. Forcefully fusing with it would naturally lead to problems.
At the same time, the strength of the essence blood had already exceeded the limits of what the body could contain. The appearance of these two problems led to the current situation.
However, Tian Shengxian did not become flustered at all as if he had already expected this. He formed a seal with his fingers and pointed at the air.
In the next moment, a huge formation slowly appeared on the ground of the thirty-six main cities of the Darkstar race. It seemed to be connected to the entire city, and with the support of the tremendous energy that had been gathered for many years beneath the city, the formation suddenly began to operate.
"Argh!"
"W- w- what's happening? My essence blood, the power of my soul, and my vital essences are all being rapidly drained away …"
"Oh no, my cultivation is draining away …"
"It's the formation below us. God dammit, the Darkstar race really did not have good intentions for trapping us here. They're using this formation to take our lives …"
.....
As soon as the formation began to operate, a series of wails came from the thirty-six cities, mixed with monstrous anger and resentment. This was because all the cultivators who were confined in the cities had their cultivation power, soul power, essence blood, and even the boundless vitality in their bodies mercilessly stripped away. They gathered from all over the cities and were then transported to the distant imperial city by the formation.
Not only the thirty-six cities, but the Hundred Saints City was also affected. Although there was no formation on the ground of the Hundred Saints City, there was a formation that was exactly the same as the thirty-six cities in the sky outside the barrier. It absorbed the energy of heaven and earth and operated on its own. It was also mercilessly devouring all the cultivators in the Hundred Saints City, absorbing their cultivation power, soul power, essence blood, and boundless vitality.
"The bastards of the Darkstar race have secretly set up such a vicious formation. They want to sacrifice us. Let's go, let's go, let's get out of here …"
"Let's go to the teleportation formation and leave the Hundred Saints City immediately …"
.....
In the Hundred Saints City, the expressions of all the prodigies changed drastically. They all ran in the direction of the teleportation formation with fear and panic.
However, at this moment, there was a huge rumble. The teleportation formation that they had set up in the Hundred Holy Cities as their only means of escape suddenly exploded. The entire teleportation formation was blown to pieces.
"Argh! No!"
Immediately, a prodigy let out a shrill cry. His face instantly paled and was filled with despair.
Because they were in the devouring formation, all the power in their bodies was rapidly draining away, making them feel weaker and weaker. If this continued, they would not be able to hold on for long at all. They would die from the loss of vitality in their bodies.
Within the 36 main cities, countless martial artists from the outside world screamed out in despair. They wanted to resist, but they discovered that as the great array beneath their feet revolved, their strength and vitality were constantly drained from their bodies, causing them to become increasingly weak. Let alone resisting, they couldn't even maintain the strength to float in the air.
This was because the devouring power was just too powerful, far more powerful than the Life Devouring Beast. Not only did it devour the vitality within them, but it also devoured the power of cultivation, the power of the soul, and so on.
"Darkstar race, you're so vicious. You actually want to sacrifice so many of us …"
"Darkstar race, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost …"
"You will receive retribution for doing such a vicious thing. Our sects in the Saints' World will never let you go …"
.....
In the royal capital of the Darkstar race, a total of thirty-seven streams of energy that contained the power of cultivation, the power of the soul, life, and so on, enveloped Sacredfeather in the form of colorful ribbons of light. As the streams of energy from the cultivators in the outside world were channeled into Sacredfeather's body, Sacredfeather immediately underwent a metamorphosis from inside out. He was undergoing a comprehensive improvement.
This was because when the Devouring Formations in these cities devoured all kinds of energy, they also refined the energy at the same time. It was also because the cultivators in the outside world were not powerful that the refinement was completed in an extremely short amount of time. It became an extremely pure, ownerless energy that had been stripped of all its impurities.
The clearly separated ownerless energy was naturally very easy to absorb. As a result, when the streaks of light enveloped Seiyu, Seiyu's soul, cultivation, vital energy, and vitality all recovered at an extremely terrifying rate.
Due to the weakness of his body, he was unable to withstand the essence blood. But now, he was quickly healed. This was because the boundless life force of thousands of cultivators was rapidly healing his injuries, catching up to the rate at which the essence blood was destroyed.
At the same time, the energy formed from the vital energy of the cultivators rapidly strengthened Seiyu's body as well.
The energy formed from the power of the souls of thousands of cultivators also strengthened Sacredfeather's soul rapidly.
In short, Seiyu seemed to have ingested a supreme tonic right now. His entire body was being strengthened from the inside out.
This was an improvement in every aspect. It could also be described as an evolution.
This was because he was also fusing with the essence blood refined by the Darkstar race through a secret technique. Even though the speed of the fusion was not very fast, and the essence blood that possessed the presence of the Darkstar race was not very compatible with Seiyu's body, showing signs of rejection, it still allowed the power of Seiyu's bloodline to increase evidently.
Jianchen sat on the top of the fifth divine hall as he paid close attention to Seiyu's condition. He had been accumulating power secretly long ago, ready to take action at any time.
This was because what was happening to Seiyu had already exceeded his understanding. There were just far too many unknowns and uncertainties involved, as well as many heaven-defying methods that he had never heard of in the Saints' World.
