368: Chapter 368 Advancement to Dou Wang, Qingyue's Transformation

With a thought, the meridians and organs within his body surged with vigorous vitality; refining the Innate Sword Blood was like undergoing a complete rebirth.

The thick, broad meridians within his body, shimmering with a crystalline jade light, had been tempered by the sharp sword qi until they were countless times stronger than before.

Whether in terms of toughness or width, it was a qualitative leap.

His internal organs, which were originally fragile, now gave off a sense of resilience, brimming with power.

The combat strength his physical body could now exert was even more terrifying and formidable than when he previously used Dou Qi.

If not for the fact that Hun Tiandi practiced a peerless demonic art and the Blood Scripture provided a certain amount of experience in devouring special constitutions, he might have exploded from the impact of the sword blood.

While refining the sword blood, the meridians, flesh, bones, and organs within his body...

...cycled repeatedly between destruction and restoration.

The sword blood released pure energy, nourishing and tempering him. After an unknown amount of time, the last trace of the Innate Sword Blood was successfully refined.

Boom!

As the surging Dou Qi poured into the vortex, an inexplicable fluctuation emanated from within his body. This time, the change occurred in the circular Dou Crystal—the Source of the Blood God.

It suddenly transformed into a mass of liquid formed from pure Dou Qi energy.

This fluid quickly flowed to every part of Hun Tiandi's body. Wherever it passed, whether it was meridians, flesh, or the Sword Bone, everything was greatly strengthened.

An extremely terrifying aura, one that a Dou Ling could not possibly hope to match, slowly awakened within Hun Tiandi's body and then suddenly erupted.

The aura passed through his flesh and Sword Bone without hindrance, permeating through his skin and diffusing into the surroundings.

Inside the cave, Hun Tiandi's tightly closed eyes snapped open, and two substantial beams of blood-colored sword light shot out.

When they hit the stone wall, they actually left behind two pits as thick as an arm.

Advancement to Dou Wang!

"A Dou Wang expert, so this is a Dou Wang!"

Hun Tiandi moved his stiff limbs, and a series of crackling sounds like thunder came from within his body. After advancing to the Dou Wang level, the circular Dou Crystal inside him had disappeared.

There was nothing there.

This was the hallmark of ascending to Dou Wang!

For a Dou Wang expert, the Dou Qi in the body is no longer confined to the vortex or Dou Crystal but covers every part of the body. This allows for the storage of more Dou Qi and a faster circulation speed during battle.

Rumble!

With a thought from Hun Tiandi, rumbling sounds echoed from all over his body as streams of pure Dou Qi, like a flood...

...galloped from every part of his body and flowed through his meridians.

The Dou Qi in his body followed the meridians and erupted violently from his back.

Bang!

Blood-colored Dou Qi Wings suddenly unfurled from his back, over a zhang wide, looking like the wings of a fallen angel—magnificent and stunning.

"Dou Qi Wings!"

Turning his head to look at the unfurled blood-colored wings, he could now manifest the Dou Qi Wings entirely by relying on his own power.

A look of joy appeared on his handsome face.

What did manifesting Dou Qi Wings represent? From this point on, Hun Tiandi had once again truly stepped into the ranks of the strong on the Fighting Qi Continent.

The gap between a Dou Ling and a Dou Wang is such that, in the eyes of the powerful, only after advancing to Dou Wang can one be called an expert.

Below Dou Wang, all are but ants!

Outside the cave, Yun Xiao suddenly stood up and looked back toward the cave, where a powerful aura was emanating.

"Did His Majesty succeed?"

"Just who is that aura coming from?" Miss Xiao Yuer also sensed it, but she had been blocked by Yun Xiao and was unable to investigate.

"Someone has ascended to the Dou Wang level?" Suddenly, Joyous Douhuang seemed to realize something; this kind of aura was similar to the changes when he himself had ascended to Dou Wang.

"Who is in the cave? Advancing to Dou Wang?"

"You are not qualified to know!" Yun Xiao said coldly. Joyous Douhuang's face turned ashen with anger. To have this person guarding them, could it be that youth?

He had a vague suspicion in his heart. Then, he turned and left.

"Advancing to Dou Wang? Truly good luck," Miss Xiao Yuer sighed with emotion.

After the Blood Scripture refined the Innate Sword Blood, not only would his strength increase significantly, but the Blood Scripture would also undergo a qualitative leap, causing his combat power to advance by leaps and bounds.

With his mind, he controlled the Dou Qi in his body to emerge from all parts of his being, following the circulation path of the Blood Scripture technique and pouring into the vortex.

He was familiarizing himself with the brand-new Dou Qi and the new circulation path.

Buzz!

The energy of the pill was impacting the medicinal cauldron, spreading outward, followed by a faint medicinal fragrance that began to permeate from within.

Liu Ling could restrain the energy, but he was powerless against the medicinal fragrance.

"The pill is about to be formed?" In Mei Niang's purple eyes, there was a hint of joy, but more of it was gravity.

At the entrance of the valley, Yan Xing and Tu Xingzi glanced at each other, both seeing the delight in the other's eyes.

Liu Ling was completing the final step: nourishing the pill.

"Medicinal fragrance? Could it be that the refinement is about to succeed?"

Hidden in the forest, the lurking Elder Mo Yun looked startled. He had already sent a message to the Sect Master of the Joyous Sect, so why was there no reply yet?

Elder Mo Yun was anxious. If they missed this high-grade pill, the Young Master would be as good as ruined.

They had already failed once before in Linhai City.

This time they were refining a high-grade pill again; they were truly generous.

"Eh? A message from Elder Mo Yun, someone is refining a high-grade pill?" The furious Joyous Douhuang finally received the information after leaving.

After a brief deliberation, he hurried toward Elder Mo Yun's direction.

Boom!

The medicinal cauldron jolted. Half an hour later, Liu Ling reached out his hand, and a deep green pill appeared before him, the size of a longan, with golden patterns flickering on its surface.

A Tier 6 high-grade pill, the snake scale creation pill!

"Qing Yue, take the snake scale creation pill immediately to increase your strength. The atmosphere in this ruin is a bit off!"

Mei Niang spoke slowly; a storm was brewing.

Qing Yue nodded lightly, reached out for the snake scale creation pill, and encouraged herself in her heart: "Young Master worked so hard to collect the medicinal ingredients for this pill, I absolutely cannot let him down!"

Gulp!

Swallowing the snake scale creation pill, she sat cross-legged in meditation. Deep green energy erupted from Qing Yue's body, wrapping her inside and forming a green cocoon with flickering golden patterns, absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.

Qing Yue's first sensation after taking the pill was a surge of longing from deep within her slender frame.

The power of the pill permeated deep into her body, and that wisp of Snake-people Tribe bloodline within her began to absorb and fuse with the creation energy.

Strengthening itself, the impurities in the bloodline were washed away, and the snake-person bloodline began its transformation.

It became pure. There was no telling to what level her strength would rise once she woke up in the future.

Mei Niang watched the cocooned Qing Yue with worry filling her beautiful eyes. Beside her, Liu Ling spoke softly: "Rest assured, Empress. The snake scale creation pill was chosen by His Majesty for Qing Yue; it has always been a significant help to her!"

Mei Niang nodded upon hearing this.

"Sect Master, the people in this valley are the ones who injured you outside the ruins and are now refining a high-grade pill. In Linhai City, it was that youth in green who broke the Young Master's limbs!"

"If we can seize the high-grade pill, the Young Master's injuries should be able to fully recover!"

Elder Mo Yun bowed respectfully to Joyous Douhuang, explaining their purpose.

"Oh? So it's them. It really is a small world!" Joyous Douhuang said coldly.

"However, this group is very strong. I fought them in Linhai City and did not have the upper hand!"

"If we are to fight for the pill, we need more experts..."

Elder Mo Yun spoke calmly.

"Experts? Then that charming beauty shall belong to this King!" Joyous Douhuang said lecherously.

He suddenly sped off into the distance, seemingly to look for experts to help.

Elder Mo Yun took a deep look at the valley,
