76 Demonic Joker (1/2)

Watching the blood pour onto the ground and create a large pool, Arnin couldn't help but smile. He had discovered a way to control his essence and blood, however it was only a temporary solution. Plus, this solution could cause many problems if he continued to use it in the future.

Kill! That was his solution. Draining others of their blood, and then using it to cultivate was an extremely efficient way to stabilize his own blood and essence. It was easier than cultivating other elements, especially on a battlefield where blood was almost everywhere.

After an hour of sitting and waiting silently, the blood had collected into a large pool. Arnin walked over to the pile of bodies and climbed to the top. He didn't care about the corpses and showed absolutely no respect towards them. To him, the bodies beneath him were just tools to increase his power.

Arnin climbed to the top and sat down with his legs crossed. He then closed his eyes, and began to silently cultivate. He disregarded his surroundings and focused on healing himself as much as possible. Plus, there was no one around for a good distance so Arnin had some time to cultivate.

The silence was extremely eerie, especially with the large pile of dead, bloody bodies, and the person that sat on top of them. What was even more sinister was the fact that the person on top of the heap did not look normal in any way.

He had crimson hair that showed hints of obsidian black, deep purple eyes that glistened like the moon, and pale skin that resembled that of a ghost. The person looked extremely terrifying and demonic.

This person was, of course, Arnin. Due to the fact that he was completely depending on the blood cultivation, combined with the high density of blood essence, there were some changes to his body. These changes surprised even Arnin, and made him come to a realization.

Having the ability to use blood was actually not so simple. Other than strengthening the physical body and gaining essence through blood, there was also other amazing abilities that Arnin discovered in the midst of cultivation. Although he only discovered some of the abilities, they were still a large gain.

One method of utilizing blood was using it as a poison. Although only one place knew the reason behind such occurrences, blood was able to kill or cause damage to other people just by being added into their circulation.

Arnin had gone to Earth and discovered the reason, of course. After knowing that there were different blood types, he was able to find out which blood types affected each other, and whether the effect would be positive or negative.

This topic had interested him so much that he had started his own investigation. He found that other than the four main blood types (A, B, AB, and O, not including the RH factor), he was able to discover many more.

After understanding how the new blood groups affected each other, he had a very thorough understanding of topics regarding blood.

Arnin wasn't the only one who discovered Earth, however he was the only one who had been able to enter and gain information. Ever since he found out that Earth was filled with great minded humans, he had the whole place become a personal property that not even his generals could enter. Anyone that did would be given an automatic death sentence.

Using blood as poison was one of the abilities that Arnin was impressed with, but there was still a lot more. Arnin could use blood in order to affect the movements of another's body. Since blood was rushing everywhere, he could forcefully control the flow of that blood and begin to affect the actions of the victim.

The last ability that he was able to gain some insight on was blood transformation. Although he could use blood to strengthen his physical body, there was also another way to enhance his strength through blood. This blood transformation would allow him to absorb different kinds of blood and pull it into his body as his own. He would gain all the benefits of the blood, and sometimes even acquire a new ability.

If Arnin was to absorb the blood of a phoenix, there was a chance that he would increase his control over nirvana, or even gain some insight into it since a phoenix was associated with nirvana.

Arnin was pleased with the new abilities that he learned through his enlightenment. He knew that having more abilities was beneficial since it would increase the trump cards in his arsenal. Plus, he didn't have the problem of not being able to master each ability. He knew that it would only take a small amount of his time to completely master each of his abilities.

Another hour passed, and Arnin was done with his cultivation. His hair was still crimson because of the large amounts of blood essence he absorbed. Not only that, but his eyes continued to glisten with a strong purple. They didn't seem as dull as before.

Arnin jumped down from the pile of bodies. He clapped his hands together a couple times in order to remove any dust off of them, of course he only did this to tease the dead bodies.

Arnin started to walk away before stopping in his footsteps. He turned his head and looked at the bodies one last time. ”Thanks for your patronage.” Arnin smiled before disappearing from the area.

In the large cave, other than the battlefield on the ground, there was another area. A large, flat rock was in the middle of the cave, which looked sort of like a table. This area was filled with blue candles that floated midair.

Sitting in the middle of the table was an unknown green rock. This green rock was shimmering with splendor, however if one looked hard enough, they would notice something very peculiar about stone.

A video. The rock was showing a video of some battle. Clearly, the green rock was like a surveillance camera that allowed others to see live footage of the battle.

The green rock was displaying five different projections. Each individual projection showed different people. Sometimes, it would be an individual fighting, or other times, a group battle. Four of the projections showed intense fighting, however the fifth was anything but.

The last projection was something that was very different, and also somewhat sinister. It showed a boy sitting on top of a pile of headless bodies with his eyes closed. The video was extremely weird, and many would even call it terrifying.
