"I'll take this mid level Blood Demon Crystal." Ye Chen stored the crystal in his storage ring and said to Anicca Spear King and Iron Monkey King.
Anicca Spear King promptly nodded, "You killed the Blood Demon King, so the Blood Demon Crystal belongs to you. Moreover, me and the monkey also owe you a life."
Anicca Spear King was not someone who liked to take advantage of others. As far as he was concerned, being able to live was the greatest fortune.
"It was just a matter of convenience. Even without you, I would still have acted." Ye Chen didn't expect them to repay him. Obtaining a mid level Blood Demon Crystal was all thanks to the two. Without them, he might not have come across it.
Iron Hand King had a straightforward character, "Old Chang is right. We owe you a life. If you're in danger, we'll risk our lives to repay you."
"Hehe, do as you wish."
Ye Chen smiled. Although one might know a person's face but not their heart, these two did seem like people worth befriending.
"I'm Chang Chifeng, also known as Anicca Spear King. This is my good friend Iron Monkey King. May I know benefactor's name?" Anicca Spear King put away his spear and cupped his fists.
Ye Chen said, "Ye Chen."
"Ye Chen! You're the first ranked Life and Death Substitute List Ye Chen, the one who defeated Giant Wolf King? "Anicca Spear King suddenly understood.
"Right."
Ye Chen didn't intend to hide it.
"Everyone says that you have the strength to contend against a low step King, but it seems like your battle strength has already reached mid step King." He could naturally see that the reason Ye Chen could easily kill a mid step Blood Demon King was because of his Destruction Sword Intent. Destruction Sword Intent was one of the strongest sword intents and had a restraining effect on almost everything, including the Undying Body. Even if a sword artist with similar strength as Ye Chen were to attack the same Life and Death King, the result would be different. The King injured by Ye Chen would need more Zhen Yuan to operate the Undying Body.
However, Elemental Sword Intents were extremely difficult to raise. The Destruction Sword Intent was one of the hardest Elemental Sword Intents to raise. Shi Feng wondered how Ye Chen had managed to raise his Destruction Sword Intent to the Sixth Stage.
Of course, he didn't know that Ye Chen had three great Sword Souls back then, which were the Slaughter Sword Soul, the Destruction Sword Soul, and the Immortal Sword Soul. After the Destruction Sword Soul devoured the Slaughter Sword Soul, its rank increased by leaps and bounds. Then, the Immortal Sword Soul also reached the fifth rank, resonating with the Destruction Sword Soul and improving even faster.
After the Destruction Sword Spirit leveled up from the peak of the fifth step to the sixth step, the Immortal Sword Spirit also improved greatly. From the initial stage of the fifth step to the late stage of the fifth step, it had increased by two small levels.
This was the effect of resonance.
Unfortunately, resonance required the two Sword Souls to be of the same rank. For a long time to come, Sword Soul Resonance wouldn't happen unless the Immortal Sword Soul was upgraded to the sixth rank.
Anicca Spear King and Iron Monkey King were both solitary Kings who liked to be free and unfettered. Therefore, they could become brothers of different races. Although Ye Chen didn't speak much, the two could feel Ye Chen's righteous sword dao and elegant temperament. They couldn't help but praise him in their hearts and wanted to befriend him.
"Ye Chen, after leaving Bloodlight Ocean, if you have time, you can come to my Monkey Island as a guest. My Supreme Grade Monkey Wine, you can drink as much as you want. I, Iron Monkey King, will not even frown." Iron Monkey King said.
"Supreme Grade Monkey Wine?"
Ye Chen found this name very familiar.
"Hehe, Ye Chen, you can't let go of such an opportunity. Supreme Grade Monkey Wine, one cup can increase one's cultivation base by one month. Moreover, it's very delicious and unforgettable. Usually, when I visit, he won't dare to let me drink as much as I want."
Ye Chen didn't know, but Anicca Spear King was very clear that the Supreme Grade Monkey Wine was his life. Although Anicca Spear King often went to freeload, and Iron Monkey King was very generous each time, he wouldn't drink as much as he wanted. After all, the materials needed to make this wine were too precious, and the brewing process was also very difficult. One jar would take Iron Monkey King at least a year to brew.
"Alright, definitely. I'm just afraid that you'll close your door and refuse guests."
Ye Chen's face was full of smiles. A cup of Monkey Wine could increase one's cultivation base by one month. No matter what, he had to be a guest.
"How could that be? It's fine even if I drink it all."
Iron Monkey King glared at him.
Ye Chen and Anicca Spear King both laughed.
"Oh right, Ye Chen, Iron Monkey King and I are preparing to leave. What about you?" The Anicca Spear King and the Iron Monkey King worked together to obtain some low-tier Blood Demon Crystals. Originally, they wanted to continue and obtain more low-tier Blood Demon Crystals, but the appearance of a mid-tier Blood Demon King had greatly exhausted them.
"I'll leave in a few days."
With the Destruction Sword Intent, Ye Chen was destined to obtain Blood Demon Crystals more easily than others.
"That's right. You have the Destruction Sword Intent. As long as you don't encounter a peak mid-level or high-level Blood Demon King, you'll be fine. However, it's best not to stay for too long. Your Destruction Sword Intent can restrain Blood Demon Kings, but it won't be as effective against Hetero Blood Demon Kings."
Anicca Spear King reminded.
"Ye Chen will be cautious."
Ye Chen naturally knew that Bloodlight Ocean wasn't a safe place. However, he had yet to venture too deep into it. The closer he got to the core region, the greater the danger. Correspondingly, the chances of Blood Crystal Flowers appearing would also increase.
"Then we'll take our leave first. If you want to find us in the future, come to Monkey Island or Cloud Locking Island."
"Definitely."
After Anicca Spear King and Iron Monkey King left, Ye Chen didn't stay either. He prepared to find a place to refine the mid level Blood Demon Crystal.
…
After searching for a long time, Ye Chen still couldn't find a suitable place. Thus, he returned to the cave where he recovered Zhen Yuan.
Blocking the cave, Ye Chen sat cross-legged at the center of the cave.
Buzz!
The storage ring flickered, and the mid level Blood Demon Crystal was taken out.
Compared to the low level Blood Demon Crystal, the luster of the mid level Blood Demon Crystal was even more magnificent. If the low level Blood Demon Crystal was an extremely precious crystal, then the mid level Blood Demon Crystal was a blood-red diamond.
Ye Chen could sense the extremely pure life energy contained within the mid level Blood Demon Crystal. It was precisely this life energy that could upgrade one's spirit body. At the later stages of the spirit body, it would also reflect one's life level.
Refining Blood Demon Crystal was different from refining other things. One had to cut open a wound and let the crystal come into contact with one's blood before refining it.
Creak!
His palm automatically split open, and Ye Chen pressed the mid level Blood Demon Crystal inside.
"So numb!"
The refining of the mid level Blood Demon Crystal had already begun. Ye Chen felt as if ants were crawling all over his flesh and bones, numb and tingling.
"Refining the low level Blood Demon Crystal doesn't have much of a feeling, but the mid level Blood Demon Crystal is indeed different."
Ye Chen wasn't startled, but rather delighted.
Gradually, the numbness turned into pain, which then turned into colic. It was as if his body was covered in sulfuric acid that was eroding his flesh and bones.
Sweat gushed out of his body like a spring, and veins bulged on Ye Chen's forehead.
Creak!
A black substance seeped through his pores and covered Ye Chen's body, emitting a faint fishy smell.
However, this situation only lasted for a moment. In the next moment, a surging temperature spread out, incinerating all the black substance, including Ye Chen's clothes.
In the end, Ye Chen was only left with the Bronze Armor.
Multitasking, Ye Chen took off the Bronze Armor.
It became naked.
In his palm, the mid level Blood Demon Crystal had been mostly refined, and only the size of a fingernail remained.
"Refine all of it!"
Gritting his teeth, the blood in his palm wrapped around the fingernail-sized mid grade Blood Demon Crystal and dragged it in.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
After an unknown amount of time, an extremely powerful life fluctuation spread out from Ye Chen's body. Inside the cave, there were electric currents flashing. Although they weren't bright, they were real. At the same time, a special magnetic field was formed around Ye Chen. This was a life magnetic field formed when a life was strong to a certain extent.
Two hours!
Two hours!
Twelve hours!
One day!
The mid level Blood Demon Crystal had been completely refined, but the breakthrough was not over yet. Ye Chen was pushing his life force to advance to the Fifth-Order Spirit Body.
Another day had passed.
The life magnetic field emitted by Ye Chen was even stronger, comparable to a Fifth-Order Spirit Body. However, it wasn't as stable as a Fifth-Order Spirit Body, and the field was sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
The next day.
Bang!
His powerful life magnetic field swept up all the tiny substances in the cave, and the flickering electric currents continued to swim around. Right then, he was like a very small star. His body contained a magnetic field, and anyone who approached him would be affected by it. Only powerful existences with the same rank five spirit body would be able to remain unscathed.
"Fifth-Order Spirit Body, done!"
Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes, which flickered like swords.
There was a huge difference between a Fifth-Order Spirit Body and a Fourth-Order Spirit Body. At the fifth order, one's life magnetic field could already be seen, which was equivalent to a lifeform evolving to a higher level.
"A Fourth-Order Spirit Body is the standard of a Life and Death King, while a Fifth-Order Spirit Body is the average. Now that I've reached this level, the gap is shrinking."
As his strength increased, Ye Chen's enemies also became higher level existences. Any improvement was precious. Fifth-Order Spirit Body held great significance for Ye Chen. First of all, his body's defense had become higher. Coupled with the Undying Body, Poison Fire King and the rest would find it hard to deal with him. If he ran into someone with a Spirit Consciousness Body, they wouldn't be able to injure him too severely. He would only need ten percent of his Zhen Yuan to circulate the Undying Body to recover.
In other words, a Fifth-Order Spirit Body made it harder for Ye Chen to get injured, and it also allowed him to conserve Zhen Yuan. His battle prowess had increased by a whole level.
Apart from this, a Fifth-Order Spirit Body possessed an extremely powerful recovery ability. It was like a star that could slowly recover after being destroyed. This was the power brought about by a powerful life magnetic field.
Creak!
Ye Chen lightly clenched his fist, causing the cavern to tremble. His entire body seemed like a volcano.
"After cultivating the Undying Body to the Limb Rebirth realm, the Dragon Power has already strengthened the body. However, the combination of Zhen Yuan and cells increases the explosive power by dozens of times."
Cultivating Zhen Yuan and cultivating the body would separate in the later stages. When cultivating Zhen Yuan, the cells would combine with Zhen Yuan, increasing the body's explosive power and making it not weak in close combat. Of course, compared to cultivating the body, it was far inferior. When cultivating the body, the strength was born from the cells, and the explosive power was more than ten times that of the former. In short, body refining Kings were close-combat monsters.
