Bloodlight Ocean, in a natural underground cavern …
"Fortunately, I have a lot of Zhen Yuan crystals. Otherwise, recovering Zhen Yuan in a short period of time would be difficult."
At the center of the cavern, Ye Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened his eyes, and two beams of light flickered within.
At Life and Death realm, recovering Zhen Yuan was a big problem. Every single Life and Death King's cultivation base was extremely frightening. Even those with low cultivation base had decades of cultivation base, while those with high cultivation base had thousands of years of cultivation base.
With such a huge amount of Zhen Yuan, it would be extremely difficult to rely on a cultivation technique to recover. After all, the Yuan Qi of the heaven and earth was too far apart from King grade Zhen Yuan. One would need to compress and refine it many times. Only by entering seclusion for a long time could one recover. However, this would also depend on the amount of cultivation base lost. Using supreme grade spirit stones would be a lot faster.
Unfortunately, supreme grade spirit stones were extremely rare. Moreover, they were the currency of Life and Death Kings. If the loss of cultivation base wasn't too severe, very few Life and Death Kings would use supreme grade spirit stones to recover Zhen Yuan. It was too extravagant.
If using supreme grade spirit stones to recover Zhen Yuan was extravagant, then using Zhen Yuan crystals to recover Zhen Yuan was a waste. Zhen Yuan crystals were even more precious than supreme grade spirit stones. Only Life and Death Kings and a small portion of half-step Kings proficient in this dao could condense them. However, Life and Death Kings didn't eat or drink, so they couldn't condense much in a year. Moreover, recovering Zhen Yuan required at least ten thousand Zhen Yuan crystals.
It should be known that when Ye Chen cultivated Undying Body and Limb Rebirth realm, he had used fifty thousand Zhen Yuan crystals, and his cultivation base had only doubled. Not counting the purity of Zhen Yuan, Ye Chen's cultivation base was only about nine years of cultivation base.
Of course, the Zhen Yuan crystals Ye Chen obtained were somewhat lacking compared to Zhen Yuan crystals condensed by Life and Death Kings. In terms of purity, they weren't even low grade Zhen Yuan crystals. If they were genuine low grade Zhen Yuan crystals, perhaps ten thousand would be enough. There was no need for fifty thousand.
"This time, I've used seventy thousand Zhen Yuan crystals. I don't even have two million and a hundred thousand left. I should save some."
The Zhen Yuan of a low step King was ten times purer than a high step King's, and five times purer than the peak of the third layer. Once Ye Chen entered Life and Death realm, he would be able to use Zhen Yuan crystals to increase his cultivation base. Currently, seventy thousand Zhen Yuan crystals could restore ninety-five percent of his Zhen Yuan, and seventy-five thousand could restore one hundred percent of his Zhen Yuan. Once he reached Life and Death realm, the effect would be reduced by five times, and he would need three hundred and seventy-five thousand Zhen Yuan crystals to restore the same cultivation base, which was nine years of cultivation base.
Fifty years of cultivation base was equivalent to fifty years of bitter cultivation base.
Blood Hand Monarch didn't have much wealth. He probably used precious treasures and top-grade spirit stones to exchange for things that could increase his cultivation. After all, no matter how good a treasure was, it couldn't be compared to cultivation. Unless it was a treasure that could greatly increase one's strength.
With his Quintessential Essence completely restored, Ye Chen stood up and walked out of the underground cave.
Although the mutated star fire poison had been removed, Ye Chen wasn't in a hurry to leave Bloodlight Ocean. His spirit body was only a step away from the fifth step. As long as he could obtain a Blood Crystal Flower, he would be able to truly enter the fifth step, and his body's strength would increase tremendously. If others attacked him, they would be heavily injured, but because of his fifth step spirit body, they would be lightly injured. This was extremely useful in saving Zhen Yuan, and his survivability would also increase.
"Even if I can't find the Blood Crystal Flower, I still need to get some low-level Blood Demon Crystals. Although low-level Blood Demon Crystals can't directly upgrade my spirit body to the Fifth Order, they can make the breakthrough easier."
Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, Ye Chen disappeared in a flash.
…
"The third one!"
With his Destruction Sword Intent reaching the sixth step, Ye Chen could easily kill low stage Blood Demon Kings. Even high stage Kings might not be able to kill low stage Blood Demon Kings as easily as Ye Chen.
The only problem was that Bloodlight Ocean was too vast, and it wasn't easy to run into low stage Blood Demon Kings.
Collecting the low-level Blood Demon Crystals, the number of crystals in Ye Chen's storage ring increased to four.
"Continue!"
Ye Chen flew out.
…
On the undulating hills, another fierce battle was going on.
"Monkey, dodge!"
Anicca Spear King roared. The spear in his hand moved like a divine dragon, appearing and disappearing amidst the wind and clouds. The spear pierced Blood Shadow's chest.
Puff!
This spear strike left a huge hole in Blood Shadow's chest.
"Keke, you guys can't do anything to me."
Blood Shadow was a mid stage Blood Demon King, several times stronger than a low stage Blood Demon King. Kings of the same level simply couldn't kill him. Only high stage Kings could slowly grind him to death. This was the terror of Blood Demons.
Swish!
A blood light flickered as the mid stage Blood Demon King charged at the slightly weaker Iron Monkey King.
"Scram!"
How could Iron Monkey King dare to let it get close? It opened its mouth and spat out a light sphere.
Bang!
A qi wave exploded, shattering one of the mid stage Blood Demon King's arms. However, he grinned and forcibly passed through the qi wave, arriving less than ten meters away from Iron Monkey King.
At the crucial moment, Anicca Spear King swept Iron Monkey King with his spear, saving his life.
"Courting death!" The mid stage Blood Demon King was furious. It no longer chased after Iron Monkey King and turned its attention to Anicca Spear King. Although Anicca Spear King's flesh wasn't as powerful as Iron Monkey King's, he was much more troublesome. Only by killing him would the following battles be easier.
Raising his right hand, a rotating blood-colored ball of light condensed in the palm of the mid-level Blood Demon King.
"Go!"
With a wave of his palm, the blood sphere shot toward Anicca Spear King.
Anicca Spear King could sense the frightening devouring power contained within the blood sphere. The consequences would be unimaginable if he were to be hit.
Moving his body, Anicca Spear King ingeniously dodged the light sphere's attack.
"Let's see how you dodge this time!"
Three blood spheres shot toward Anicca Spear King in a triangular formation.
The speed of the blood spheres was too fast. Anicca Spear King could only dodge two of them, but he couldn't avoid the third one. Bang! Anicca Spear King was unscathed, but a three-meter tall figure was sent flying.
"Monkey!" Anicca Spear King widened his eyes. It was Iron Monkey King who blocked the blood sphere for him.
"Old Chang, don't worry. I won't die that easily." Iron Monkey King climbed up from the ground. His back was shriveled as if he had lost a large amount of flesh. As a Demonic Beast King, Iron Monkey King's flesh was many times stronger than Anicca Spear King's. This was also the reason why he dared to take this attack head-on.
"It seems like we're going to die here today."
Anicca Spear King heaved a sigh of relief and said bitterly.
"Yeah, I didn't expect us three brothers to die together in the end. Black Horn will go first, and we'll follow behind." Iron Monkey King was also unwilling.
The battle power of a mid-level Blood Demon King wasn't very strong. It was at the bottom of mid-level Kings and Demonic Beasts Kings. However, the strongest point of a mid-level Blood Demon King wasn't their battle power, but their recovery, which was even more frightening than an undying body. No matter how they attacked, they wouldn't be able to injure them. At most, they would only be able to wear down a bit of their opponent's strength.
"Oh, it seems like you guys know that you're going to die."
The mid-level Blood Demon King looked like a cat toying with a mouse.
"Hmph, even if I die, I won't let you have an easy time. Have a taste of my strongest spear, Wind Cloud Lightning Spear!" Anicca Spear King roared as his figure shot out and thrust out his spear.
Crackle!
The Wind Cloud Lightning Spear contained the wind and cloud profound, which was already very powerful. However, Anicca Spear King used some unknown method to use wind and cloud as the foundation to derive the power of thunder and lightning. It was equivalent to this spear containing the wind, cloud, and thunder profound. Of course, it was only a small amount of thunder profound.
However, its might had more than doubled.
As the spear thrust out, a sparkling electric light illuminated the surrounding dozens of li.
"This spear is frightening. Although it can't compare to the masked man's profound martial skill, it's not that far off. Life and Death Kings are very weak, and the strong are very strong. It all depends on one's comprehension of the profound martial skill."
Ye Chen had long since sensed the energy ripples and quietly approached. From afar, he inwardly sighed in admiration.
"Thunder and lightning power!"
The mid-level Blood Demon King's face sank. Among the various profounds, not to mention time and space profounds, there were a few profounds that Blood Demons feared the most. Among them, thunder and lightning profound was one of them. The thunder and lightning power derived from this spear was not weak. Although it wasn't enough to kill him, it could still injure him somewhat.
"Explode!"
The mid-level Blood Demon King shot out five blood-colored light spheres in a row, which exploded.
Puchi!
In the end, Anicca Spear King was blasted away, and the mid-level Blood Demon King's chest was also struck, turning it black and emitting smoke.
"Let's see if you still have the strength to resist." Anicca Spear King wasn't directly hit by the blood-colored light sphere and was merely blasted away by the aftershock. However, his aura immediately weakened, and his face turned pale.
Transforming into a blood-colored light, the mid-level Blood Demon King pounced at Anicca Spear King. Iron Monkey King had been blasted far away and simply couldn't catch up.
"Bewitching Mirror Shattering!"
Abruptly …
The mid-level Blood Demon King froze in the void.
In the next moment!
It shattered into thousands of pieces!
"Ah!"
The blood-colored Qi current dissipated into mid-level Blood Demon King roared and fled.
"You think you can escape?"
Ye Chen couldn't let the mid-level Blood Demon King escape. The latter's mid-level Blood Demon Crystal was priceless, and its usefulness to him was second only to the Blood Crystal Flower.
The second Bewitching Mirror Shattering thoroughly killed the mid-level Blood Demon King, and a blood-colored crystal fell down.
"A mid-level Blood Demon King is indeed a mid-level Blood Demon King. My Destruction Sword Intent's might increased by ten times, but it still couldn't kill it." Sucking the crystal into his hand, Ye Chen's face revealed a joyful expression.
A mid-level Blood Demon Crystal was more or less enough for his spirit body to break through to the fifth step. It would be best if he could find the Blood Crystal Flower later, but if he couldn't, it didn't matter.
"What? Killing a mid-level Blood Demon King with two swords?"
Anicca Spear King and Iron Monkey King looked at Ye Chen in astonishment.
When they discovered that Ye Chen's realm was not even at Life and Death King realm, they were even more astonished. For them, this was simply incomprehensible. They had personally experienced how frightening a mid-level Blood Demon King was. If not for Ye Chen's appearance, none of them would have survived.
"Freak, this is a freak!"
Anicca Spear King muttered.
