Just then, a large mass of snakes crawled out of the cave entrance.
Behind that large mass of snakes, something seemed to be dragging. After half of it crawled in, countless snake eyes rotated in unison, finally locking onto Changqing.
“My dear disciple, I, found, you!”
Two arms, covered in venomous snakes, reached into the cave entrance, propping it open, and slowly dragged Liu Lu’s bloated lower body in.
Changqing’s gaze was like a knife, fixed on Liu Lu who was about to crawl into the cave, and he calmly asked Dan Ji.
“Do we have a chance?”
“You underestimate the boost this Physical Body gives you too much.”
“That’s good.”
Changqing turned and chopped off Dan Ji’s head. From her neck, a dense Scarlet Blood Qi began to rise, and in a Moment, it returned to normal, growing a new head. That cold and beautiful face once again saw the light of day, the only difference being that her eyes were somewhat lifeless.
“I still need to remind you, although this body’s Spiritual Power and Scarlet Blood Qi can be transferred to your body at any time relying on the Blood Slave Spirit, this does not mean you can use all of this body’s Imperial Spirits.”
“There are some particularly Advanced Imperial Spirits, such as Scarlet Blood Boil, Blood Sea Other Shore. Imperial Spirits of this Rank, even a slight activation requires far more Spiritual Power and Scarlet Blood Qi than your entire body’s total Spiritual Power and Scarlet Blood Qi. The consumption rate also far exceeds the rate at which the Blood Slave Spirit replenishes you. If you use such Imperial Spirits, it’s equivalent to suicide.”
“Ultimately, my Physical Body cannot use Imperial Spirits. The Imperial Spirits you use still consume your own Scarlet Blood Qi and Spiritual Power; this body only helps you replenish it.”
Changqing nodded; he easily understood Dan Ji’s meaning.
In short, it was like a novice inheriting a master’s top-tier equipment, but only being able to equip one at a time, and some equipment didn’t match his Rank, so wearing it would cause a bug and a ban.
However, it was already abnormal enough. One must know that Dan Ji, as a Venerable, had accumulated over three hundred years, and her Physical Body itself was a huge treasure trove, not to mention being able to replenish her Spiritual Power and Scarlet Blood Qi at an extremely fast rate.
Changqing nodded, and with a thought, a chain made of flesh and blood spontaneously grew from his wrist, connecting all the way to Dan Ji’s Physical Body’s neck. The chain resembled an enlarged Blood Slave Spirit; it was precisely the effect of the Blood Slave Spirit.
He could feel a continuous stream of Scarlet Blood Qi and Spiritual Power connecting from Dan Ji’s neck to his wrist, and countless Imperial Spirits awaited his command.
“With your Physical Body’s enhancement, what level of strength am I at?”
“Most people become complacent after gaining power, but you are so cautious. Don’t worry, although your cultivation is too low, making many powerful offensive Imperial Spirits difficult to use.”
“But if you overdraw some Origin and forcefully use some Imperial Spirits with a high cost, you can still firmly suppress Liu Lu. However, you must act quickly, otherwise, the Imperial Spirits will continuously erode your Origin, affecting your future cultivation.”
“Furthermore, if you use too many Blood Law Spirits that far exceed your ability, it will turn your acupoints into dead points, making any further progress in cultivation impossible.”
“Do you know why I have white hair? It’s because in my early years, I was forced to use some Imperial Spirits that far exceeded my ability, overdrawing my Origin and affecting my innate talent. White hair and red eyes are signs of excessive overdrawing.”
Dan Ji’s voice appeared in Changqing’s mind for only a Moment. Just then, Liu Lu’s entire body finally crawled into the cave.
Like a stumbling giant infant, she rushed towards the two in the Blood Pool. Along the way, countless scarlet tentacles accompanied by venomous snakes shook off her body, scattering everywhere.
Among the scattered debris, many spider limbs and Rose’s half-face were still faintly visible.
“Hungry, so hungry. Is this the feeling of Dao Ascension? Why am I so hungry? Blood food, I want blood food! Let you two be my blood food for Dao Ascension!” With that, countless scarlet tentacles on Liu Lu’s body converged into a giant hand, smashing towards Changqing.
“Here it comes! Calm your mind, cast aside distracting thoughts, and use the Imperial Spirits according to my instructions.” Dan Ji’s voice came, and Changqing dared not delay. Following her instructions, he instantly stored a light blue Imperial Spirit into his Earth Palace Viscera.
“Bone Shield Spirit!”
Several thick, long bone plates immediately extended from his arm, reaching directly to the cave ceiling, connecting side by side to form a huge bone shield, resisting Liu Lu’s frantic impact.
“Blood Blade Spirit!”
Following Dan Ji’s guidance, Changqing’s mind moved, sending the Bone Shield Spirit back into her Physical Body, and then he stored another light blue Imperial Spirit into his Earth Palace Viscera.
Several wounds tore open on his back, and blood gushed out, but it did not spill onto the ground. Instead, it gathered in his palm, forming a Scarlet Blade.
He held the blade and slashed. The long blade made of blood struck the huge monstrous limb, twisted and entwined by countless scarlet tentacles on Liu Lu’s body, and actually made the sound of clashing metal.
Liu Lu let out a strange cry, swinging the huge tentacle monstrous limb to attack him. Changqing activated the Blood Blade Spirit, and the long blood blade instantly disintegrated into blood beads under the monstrous limb’s strike.
It wasn’t until the entire blade body passed through the layers of tentacles on Liu Lu’s body that the blade body re-solidified, piercing through Liu Lu’s chest with one strike.
Changqing gripped the long blade tightly, his body spinning several times in the air, narrowly dodging Liu Lu’s swinging tentacles. At the same time, the long blade rapidly stirred in Liu Lu’s chest, pulverizing her chest, and countless scarlet tentacles of the parasitic Blood Demon Spirit flew out.
Liu Lu let out a painful wail, but she still attacked Changqing as if oblivious to fear. Scarlet tentacles constantly fell out of the gaping hole in her chest. Her body was like a ragdoll filled with cotton, long devoid of so-called vital organs or other weaknesses.
“Blood Roaming Spirit.”
Changqing withdrew the Blood Blade Spirit. This time, under Dan Ji’s instructions, he stored a deep purple Earth Spirit into his Earth Palace Viscera.
Activating the Imperial Spirit, his body immediately became illusory, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a pool of blood.
The pool of blood he transformed into was incredibly fast and agile, flowing on the ground, walls, and even on Liu Lu’s body. He moved with ease under her attacks.
“Ah ah ah ah ah!” Liu Lu let out an unwilling roar. Seeing that she couldn’t kill Changqing, she turned to attack Dan Ji, who was to the side.
Dan Ji at this Moment was just a Physical Body without a soul, completely devoid of any Evil Lord aura. She just stood there blankly with lifeless eyes, allowing Liu Lu’s powerful strike to hit her, sending her flying and smashing a large pit in the wall.
Fortunately, the Blood Slave Spirit’s chain lengthened as the distance between Changqing and Dan Ji increased, still providing Changqing with a continuous supply of Scarlet Blood Qi and Spiritual Power from her neck.
“Is it okay not to care about your Physical Body?”
Changqing saw Dan Ji’s Physical Body embedded in the wall and couldn’t help but ask with some concern.
“You underestimate me too much. This kind of attack won’t cause any substantial damage to my Physical Body. Focus on the battle.”
Liu Lu, whose head was blown off and was parasitized by the Blood Demon Spirit, clearly had no intelligence. She stumbled and rushed to Dan Ji’s Physical Body, using all her strength to attack her body.
For a Moment, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Each of her attacks almost smashed Dan Ji’s Physical Body into a pulp, but Dan Ji would instantly recover.
Seemingly realizing that she couldn’t cause any real harm to the person in front of her, Liu Lu simply stopped attacking. She grabbed Dan Ji with a huge tentacle, preparing to tear her apart in her mouth.
“Not good. If my flesh and blood are absorbed by the Blood Demon Spirit, it will greatly enhance the Blood Demon Spirit’s power. Previously, to prevent your Origin from being consumed, I didn’t let you use overly domineering Imperial Spirits, but now I must. Take this opportunity to finish the fight quickly.”
“Okay.”
Under Dan Ji’s guidance, Changqing stored a golden Imperial Spirit into his Earth Palace Viscera.
It was a Low Grade Heavenly Spirit.
“Blood Domain of the Dead.”
