Chapter 652: Blood Creature

Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations

Within the ancient Dissolving Blood Palace.

The treasure spirit—the blood-robed cold man—was still sneering at the soldier from Destruction Legion sitting in front of him.

However, Xue Ying wasn’t angry at this. In fact, he was actually wearing a sly smile. He did not care about bickering with the treasure spirit, so he simply let out a terrifying aura.

“Hong!”

One could see bloody fog vaguely appear to envelop the surface of Xue Ying’s body. On top of this, a huge, strange reptile appeared on his back. The lizard had an extremely long tail, so long that it surrounded his body twice over, and it seemed to be sleeping as it lay on its tail.

“Tiger Cricket Totem?” The blood-robed cold man was staring at the strange scene appearing behind Xue Ying. After cultivating the Dissolving Blood Secret Technique to the large success stage, one would be able to externally project this very scene. It was said that the Ancestor Devil had received enlightenment from three unique lifeforms, and it was this knowledge that he then used to create the profound “Myriad Devil True Body”. Only then was he able to set down the fundamentals for this absolute art, fusing them together with his countless experiences and other external supplementary objects to eventually form his true body.

After he successfully cultivated this technique, even the Lake Heart Island master, whose combat power was known to be insurmountable, could not defeat the Ancestor Devil.

“You succeeded?” The blood-robed man was staring at Xue Ying with a frown of disbelief. “That scene just now was actually you reaching the final bottleneck?”

The expression of savage pain which Xue Ying had shown just a while ago, complete with his grunt, was actually the final moment agony he let out as he reached the final bottleneck. Thinking back on it, this was clearly the true reason he had let out a sound. It was very clear by now just how terrifying Xue Ying’s comprehension ability was.

“Ten thousand years is indeed a very short time, but I was lucky enough to succeed nonetheless,” Xue Ying said with a chuckle.

“Hmph.” A feeling of grievance was brewing up in the cold man’s stomach. “You, soldier of the Destruction Legion, are indeed quite proficient when it comes to comprehending techniques, for you to have succeeded within such a short time. However, you shouldn’t be too happy! Remember, if you want to obtain the command token from the Three Devil Palace, you have to get through two trials. The Dissolving Blood Secret Technique was just the first trial. You might have passed this trial of comprehension ability, but the second trial is one that tests your true combat power.”

“I know. What was it that you said before, something about defeating a Blood Creature?” Xue Ying nodded.

He had gotten quite a lot of information from his teacher. The process involved succeeding in cultivating the secret technique within a million years and then winning a frontal battle. Only then would he receive the command token.

This particular command token was actually the token for the entire Three Devil Palace.

Using it, he could easily make his way towards the other two palaces. Even if he failed ten or a hundred times, he could try it again and again.

Thus, obtaining the command token would mean that half the work was already done!

Even if he failed afterward, he could just wait until his combat power reached a higher level. However, if he could not find the Three Devil Palace, it would be pointless even if he was stronger.

“Indeed, the second trial is combat against a Blood Creature. They are a form of life bred by His Majesty precisely for the sake of battle. Its combat power is incredible, and most Paragons would likely end up either suppressed or torn apart and eaten in a fight against it.” The blood-robed man sneered. “I’ve heard that the armor you soldiers of the Destruction Legion don in battle is formidable, but that won’t matter if the Blood Creature just swallows you whole.”

Having said these words, the man pointed to a corner of the palace hall.

Weng!

A drop of black-colored blood condensed out of nowhere then began floating in mid-air as golden patterns shifted on its surface.

Soon afterward, following a ‘hua’ sound, the black-colored liquid started rapidly distorting and expanding, and before long, transformed into a mutated beast covered in black scales, and standing upright to reach a height of roughly ten meters or so. Its legs were very short, but its claws were thick and long, and its arms reached a length that was approximately half of its entire body. There were three horns on its head, but its most distinctive trait had to be its huge, bloody mouth. Its two small eyes were flickering with savageness and cunningness.

The strangest part about this beast, though, was that even though it was just standing in place, its figure began emitting countless circular black ripples that affected the void. Xue Ying could easily feel an inherent threat present in these ripples.

‘Such a terrifying beast. It’s just standing there, but it can still give me a feeling of looming death.’ Xue Ying heart was left in trepidation. ‘This blood creature groomed by the Ancestor Devil is definitely not any weaker than those fools from the Ancestor Mother Religion whose realms are extremely low,.’
