302: Chapter 302 Divine Blood Refines the Sword, Tempering the Sword Spirit

Countless experts were left with lingering fears, not daring to approach again. No one expected that today, the Heaven-Reaching Peak would disappear.

Only then did many experts descend upon the area.

The Black Cloud Ravine returned to its former state once more; after some conversation, the crowd dispersed.

A hundred miles away, atop a mountain peak, Hun Tiandi descended rapidly, quickly carving out a cave and slipping inside.

Moonlight stones were scattered, illuminating the cave.

Whew!

He let out a soft breath and then grinned; the harvest this time was simply too great. The Heaven-Reaching Tomb was truly a treasure trove.

Sitting cross-legged, he slowly closed his eyes and appeared within the Netherworld.

Not far away, atop the altar, the light of that Blood Jade Palace Lantern remained bright, though it had dimmed somewhat.

This Blood Jade Palace Lantern was a peerless treasure containing a drop of Sovereigns Blood, which could be called Immortal Blood, and the Blood Jade Palace Lantern itself was a unique Life Lamp.

Hun Tiandi gazed at this Life Lamp, which was also the treasure connected to the Corpse King, General Jiang Li, inside the Black Imperial Coffin.

It was this palace lamp and the Sovereigns Blood that allowed General Jiang Li to recover from destruction and condense a Primordial Spirit.

If this Life Lamp were extinguished and the god blood taken, General Jiang Li would surely become extremely weak, and his new Primordial Spirit might even be annihilated.

Jie jie jie!

"If I devour and refine the Sovereign's God Blood, to what grade can the Blood Scripture evolve? Heaven Class? Beyond Heaven Class? To what level can my own strength skyrocket?"

"Sigh, but that's just a fantasy. If I really did that, the only outcome for Hun Tiandi would be dying from body explosion!"

Hun Tiandi fell into deep thought about how to deal with this Blood Jade Palace Lantern and the Sovereigns Blood.

"Sovereigns Blood?"

"How about doing it this way?"

He appeared and took out the abi sword and the Yuantu Sword. The twin swords let out two sword hums; under Hun Tiandi's nurturing, they had developed no small amount of spirituality.

Buzz!

The twin swords then flew through the air, one after the other, shooting toward the center of his forehead. If anyone were present, they would surely think Hun Tiandi was committing suicide.

Deep blue and crimson sword lights disappeared within the cave.

When they reappeared, the twin swords emerged in the Netherworld, slowly rotating around Hun Tiandi like playful children.

"Sovereigns Blood, refine my divine swords. God blood refines the swords, tempering the sword spirits!"

Hun Tiandi said with an evil smile.

Buzz...

Just as Hun Tiandi was about to drive the twin swords to devour the Sovereigns Blood, the lamp body shook, and the blood jade glaze-like lotus patterns became like a real blood-colored lotus.

It suddenly bloomed, revealing the golden god blood within the lamp wick.

Not good!

Vigilance rose in Hun Tiandi's heart and his expression changed drastically. He was about to withdraw and retreat when the blood lotus, which had bloomed in the blink of an eye, erupted with blood-colored flames, and from its center emerged a figure the size of a thumb.

It was a young girl dressed in a blood-colored gauze dress; her blood-colored pupils held a hint of poignant beauty that was quite endearing.

Her figure was graceful as she danced amidst the flames, bringing with her waves of eerie blood-colored fire.

Crack!

The blood-colored flames flashed like a blade glow, breaking through the golden light and slashing toward Hun Tiandi.

His physical body instinctively erupted with a light shield, and Dou Qi Armor condensed.

Under Hun Tiandi's horrified gaze, the blood-colored flames pierced through his body like a blade glow and slashed toward the distant mountains.

Hiss...

Hun Tiandi's pupils shrank as he sucked in a breath of cold air, staring at the Blood Jade Palace Lantern with a dark and unsightly expression.

"What overbearing flames, what a terrifying palace lamp. If I had approached from the start, I'm afraid I would have perished on the spot!"

After that single strike from the Blood Jade Palace Lantern, the blooming blood lotus petals eerily retracted in an instant, and golden light suddenly erupted from within the palace lamp.

"So, the Sovereigns Blood was a cover. The previous blood-colored flames and blood-colored lotus are the true form of the Blood Jade Palace Lantern!"

After being injured, he also learned the true face of the Blood Jade Palace Lantern.

"The Sovereigns Blood, this King is determined to take it. No one can stop me..."

Taking a deep breath, he mobilized the power of the heart of samsara to suppress the Blood Jade Palace Lantern. With a thought, the abi sword and Yuantu Sword charged directly into the Blood Jade Palace Lantern.

Each devoured half of the Sovereigns Blood.

"God blood refines the swords, tempering the sword spirits. Break for this King!"

The twin swords charged out, an earth-shattering sharpness erupting from their blades. The golden light cleansed the sword blades; the light on the blades, which were originally as bright as clear mirrors, flickered uncertainly.

A series of immortal pattern seals were derived and branded onto the sword blades.

Hun Tiandi's gaze was as sharp as a sword as he withdrew the power of the heart of samsara that was suppressing the Blood Jade Palace Lantern.

Boom!

The Blood Jade Palace Lantern, entirely made of blood jade, was like a crystal palace lamp. A wisp of eerie blood-colored flame burned at the wick, releasing blood light.

Hun Tiandi retreated rapidly, distancing himself from the Blood Jade Palace Lantern; this treasure was not something he could move right now.

Inhale! Exhale!

At this time, the abi sword and Yuantu Sword were each enveloped by the Sovereign's God Blood, looking like two golden cocoons nurturing long swords.

"I believe that this time, using the Sovereigns Blood to temper their spirituality and condense sword spirits will allow the twin swords to transform!"

He revealed a faint smile.

In the Netherworld, waves of pure energy converged and poured entirely into the golden fetal membranes.

The rest was left to time.

Stepping out of the Netherworld, Hun Tiandi put away the moonlight stone, opened the cave entrance, and sped off toward the direction of Yan Xing and the others.

Xiao Sect!

"Xiao Yujie, immediately mobilize everyone to find traces of Yun Tian!"

Xiao Xiao, her entire body permeated with murderous intent, spoke through gnashing teeth, her eyes glinting with red light as she stared at the terrified Xiao Yujie.

"You..." Xiao Yujie wanted to ask, but he met Xiao Xiao's distorted face.

The words reached his lips but were forcibly suppressed again; Xiao Yujie could guarantee that if he spoke, there would definitely be no good end.

"Yes!" Xiao Yujie turned and left, found Elder Ri, and gave the orders.

"Elder Ri, has anything major happened in the Black-Corner Region recently?" Xiao Yujie had been in seclusion and did not know the news of the Heaven-Reaching Peak's appearance.

"Sect Leader, news arrived three days ago that in the deepest part of the Black-Corner Region, a Heaven-Reaching Peak appeared in the Black Cloud Ravine. A tomb was discovered, which legend says is a burial ground for the powerful!"

"However, even experts at the Dou Zong level who approached barely made it back!"

"Furthermore, dozens of Dou Huang and Dou Wang experts were frozen to death by the chill radiating from a stone tablet outside the tomb!"

Elder Ri spoke slowly, informing Xiao Yujie of the news that had been sent back.

"Elder Ri, pass down the order to inquire about Yun Tian's whereabouts!" Xiao Yujie spoke indifferently.

"Yes, Sect Leader!" Elder Ri turned and left.

"Heh, to be able to enrage this person like this, she must have suffered quite a setback at the tomb?"

Xiao Yujie revealed a playful smile.

At the same time, news was spreading through the entire Black-Corner Region at an astonishing speed: a tomb of a powerful expert had been discovered in the Black Cloud Ravine, attracting countless experts.

The news was even spreading outward.

Chang'an City, Longevity Hall!

"Your Majesty, there is news that the tomb of a powerful expert has appeared deep in the Black-Corner Region. Shall we send someone to investigate?"

Po Jun petitioned.

"Oh? Ignore the matter of the tomb; that is not something you can participate in. What you need to do now is increase your strength!"

From the Dragon Throne, Hun Tiandi spoke coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The officials all spoke respectfully. What the Dazheng Dynasty needed to do now was remain silent and manage the subdued Black-Corner Region well.

With the help of vast resources, they would create more experts.

Now was the time to accumulate strength. Either remain still, or move like a thunderbolt.

A while ago, Hun Tiandi's forceful subduing of the Black-Corner Region had already drawn the attention of many forces. According to intelligence, the Flame Alliance and the Xiao Sect, which has countless ties to Jia Nan Academy, have taken notice.

"As long as they don't actively seek me out, let them mess around as they please!"

"The court is adjourned!" Li Jingzhong shouted from beside him.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live, long live!" The officials bowed and then withdrew from the Longevity Hall.

Star Palace.

"What are your plans?" Elder Dan asked indifferently. Previously in the imperial court, some officials had petitioned to participate in the tomb matter.

But seeing it being stopped, Elder Dan knew that this disciple of his had made arrangements.

"Teacher, that is a death trap. Anyone who goes will die!"

Hun Tiandi sneered.
