123: The Xuansha demon body left the market

As Blood Sea circulated the Nine Heavens Mysterious Evil Art, the mist in the entire White Mist Space suddenly turned into pitch-black Evil Qi, rushing madly into his body.

With the circulation of the Cultivation Technique, wisps of Mysterious Evil Qi permeated every inch of his muscles.

The power of his Blood God Body surged dramatically; this was not an increase in magic power, but rather his Physical Body undergoing transformation.

Billions of cells awakened under the tempering of Mysterious Evil Qi, and dormant potential transformed into crimson patterns appearing on the surface of his skin.

When the Mysterious Evil Qi accumulated to a certain critical point, Blood Sea's aura suddenly shifted from calm as an ancient well to a raging tempest.

Dark red blood mist spewed from his pores, dyeing the entire space a dark red hue.

A howling vortex of Evil Qi enveloped his black robe, tearing fine cracks in the fabric.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Evil Art, for Cultivation, required Evil Qi which was entirely converted from the consumption of Attribute Points in the Cultivation Space. The consumption was doubled, with twenty Attribute Points disappearing for every year of Cultivation.

Xiao Zhuo sat in the White Mist World for a hundred years.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Evil Art used for Body Refining was not ordinary departed soul Evil Qi, but rather Heaven and Earth Mysterious Evil. According to its Cultivation Technique theory, one would need to continuously travel to nine Middle Thousand Worlds to absorb their Heaven and Earth Mysterious Evil in order to achieve Major Achievement in the Cultivation Technique.

However, Blood Sea, with the help of the panel, did not need to travel to multiple worlds; he only needed to consume Attribute Points to simulate the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Evil Qi of nine different Middle Thousand Worlds.

Within a hundred years, he Cultivated the Nine Heavens Mysterious Evil Art to the Perfection level.

When the last wisp of dark gold Evil Qi merged into his Dantian, Blood Sea's entire skeleton let out a crisp crackling sound like frying beans.

His originally fair skin now showed dark patterns, and every movement of his hands and feet caused ripples in the surrounding air.

The strongest Mysterious Evil Demonic Body of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Evil Art was complete!

The newly born Mysterious Evil Demonic Body perfectly fused with the Blood God Body. At this moment, he could contend with Late-stage Demon Infant (Cultivation Stage) Cultivators with just his Physical Body.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Evil Art's upper limit could reach Mahayana Peak.

Although he was still incredibly far from the Mahayana Realm, this current body was already sufficient to support the Blood Fiend Tower trial.

When the black-robed figure pushed open the courtyard door, the copper bell on the eaves chimed crisply.

He followed his memory through five bluestone streets, and a black-gold brocade banner embroidered with the five gilded characters "Mysterious Fox Consignment Shop" came into view.

He stepped over the threshold with practiced ease.

A Mortal attendant, greeting guests at the entrance, came forward.

"Master Blood!" The Mortal attendant's cloth shoe soles scraped urgently against the threshold, and the veins on his neck bulged as he shouted towards the inner hall: "Shopkeeper! A distinguished guest has arrived!"

"Ah? Oh!" An old voice sounded from the back of the shop.

A crisp clinking of porcelain came from the back hall, and Du Zhang, clutching half a ledger, hastily emerged from behind the screen.

The old man's calloused fingers rubbed the abacus beads, and he hurriedly pulled out a Storage Pouch embroidered with cloud patterns.

"Ten Body Sculpting Pills and three Breakthrough Pills sold for this amount." His gaunt hand made a gesture, and the faint glow of Spirit Stones overflowing from the pouch's opening was reflected in his cloudy eyes: "According to the rules, we take two-tenths, and the rest is all here."

Blood Sea weighed the heavy pouch, and a soft chuckle came from beneath his black robe: "You've worked hard."

"You flatter this old man!" Du Zhang hastily waved his hand, his waist jade pendant clinking against the counter: "If Master hadn't given me three furnaces of Foundation Establishment Pills to support me three months ago, this old man would probably still be drying medicinal herbs in the backyard."

Under the black robe, Blood Sea's lips curved slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

This old man, named Du Zhang, had originally been an attendant working at this Mysterious Fox Consignment Shop for most of his life.

He met Blood Sea when the latter first came to sell Medicinal Pills, and since then, he had been responsible for helping Blood Sea sell Medicinal Pills, bringing considerable profits to the Mysterious Fox Consignment Shop.

The previous shopkeeper, after a Breakthrough in Cultivation, was transferred elsewhere, and before leaving, he recommended Du Zhang to his superiors.

This was how he suddenly became the shopkeeper of the Mysterious Fox Consignment Shop.

The Mysterious Fox Consignment Shop was an industry of a Body Integration Family, considered a reputable merchant in the Blood Abyss Market, and even had a demon infant (Cultivation Stage) Family enshrinement overseeing it.

Du Zhang, with only a ninth-level Mortal Transformation Cultivation, becoming the shopkeeper here was truly due to his consistently good relationship with Blood Sea.

This also indirectly demonstrated the value of a Peak Profound-grade Alchemist.

"It's time to move." Putting away the Storage Pouch, Blood Sea sighed and said, "Old Du! I intend to challenge the Blood Fiend Tower. If I succeed this time..."

Du Zhang's wrinkled hand suddenly pressed on the counter, his knuckles turning white from the force. The old man opened his mouth, but in the end, he only bowed deeply: "May Master achieve the Great Dao."

Blood Sea smiled slightly and said, "The Blood Abyss Market is closest to the Blood Palace. If I settle down in the Blood Palace in the future, it's not impossible that we'll meet again. Perhaps I'll even need your help with things."

Upon hearing this, Du Zhang's expression brightened slightly, and he clasped his fists, saying, "I will not refuse!"

After bidding farewell to Du Zhang, Blood Sea walked out of the market, then transformed into a blood-red streak, piercing through the clouds and disappearing.

Among the guards at the market entrance, one person's eyes flashed with a mysterious look. He greeted the others and then left his post.

A moment later, three figures exited the Blood Abyss Market together, heading in the direction where Blood Sea had disappeared.

Just as Blood Sea flew a hundred miles out of the Blood Abyss Market, three blood-colored escape lights suddenly enveloped him in a triangular formation.

He hovered in mid-air, his black robe flapping in the fierce wind. His Divine Sense swept over the three undisguised Devilish Qi behind him—two at Middle Stage Peak, one at half-step Late Stage.

"Master Blood, why the rush to leave?" The scar-faced Cultivator, who was leading, summoned his Nine Yin Blood soul banner. The sky full of resentful souls transformed into a blood-colored curtain, obscuring the sunlight. "I hear your Family fortune is quite substantial. I wonder if you would be willing to lend some to us to spend..."

Before he could finish speaking, the dwarf on the left suddenly shrieked.

The veins on his gaunt neck bulged, and beneath his skin, it was as if thousands of blood worms were wriggling.

Blood Sea's left hand, hidden in his sleeve, formed a blood-controlling incantation. The rich vital blood of a Middle Stage demon infant (Cultivation Stage) was directly activated by him from thirty feet away.

"What are you wasting words on him for!" The one-eyed old woman on the right flung out seven bone-piercing nails. The dark nail bodies were entwined with Nine Nether Filth Qi. "The little brat Blood Sea is only Early Stage demon infant (Cultivation Stage), we..."

Clang!

The third style of the Heaven Slaughtering Sword Art, "Heaven Slaughtering," suddenly erupted.

Crimson Sword Qi rolled back like a long river, and the air along its path was torn into fine vacuums.

The old woman's protective Demonic Cloud had not yet fully formed, but her left arm was already severed at the root.

Sword Qi raged at the severed limb. If she hadn't, at the critical moment, summoned a jade talisman to block the subsequent Sword Qi, she might have been completely cut down by that one strike.

The scar-faced Cultivator's pupils contracted sharply.

The intelligence was wrong! How was this an ordinary Early Stage demon infant (Cultivation Stage)?

The Blood soul banner spun rapidly, and nine thousand resentful spirits formed the Myriad Ghost Devouring Heart Array.

Yet, Blood Sea did not dodge or evade, allowing the resentful souls to pass through his body.

Dark red demonic patterns appeared on the surface of his body. Countless vengeful spirits disintegrated upon contact, transforming into pure Evil Qi that was devoured by his Physical Body.

"Impossible!" The scar-faced Cultivator spat out his vital blood to activate his Magic Treasure, and three blood-demonic claws suddenly emerged from the banner.

This was a killing move he had nurtured for a hundred years in an ancient battlefield, having once torn apart the Protective Aura of a Late-stage Demon Infant (Cultivation Stage).

Blood Sea's lips curled into a cold sneer. His right hand, forming a sword-finger, remained, while his left hand had already formed the Nine Yang Demonic Fire Art incantation.

Nine black-gold demonic fires emerged from the Void Realm, condensing into nine Flame Dragon.

The extreme Yang Demonic Fire collided with the blood-demonic claws, emitting a sizzling sound like a hot iron entering water.

The three demonic claws vaporized amidst screams, and the nine Flame Dragon, their momentum undiminished, continued to pounce towards the scar-faced Cultivator.

The latter's Blood soul banner unfurled, and a black-Qi-shrouded barrier immediately appeared.

However, the moment the Flame Dragon collided with the barrier, the black-Qi barrier was torn open without even lasting for a breath.

The scar-faced Cultivator had already instantly teleported away the moment the barrier appeared, his body appearing a thousand meters away.

A white jade palm, entwined with black Qi, had already appeared before him.

"Bang!"

The scar-faced Cultivator, who had just appeared via instant teleportation, had his chest bones completely shattered and fell, crashing towards the ground.

At this moment, the dwarf Cultivator, who had been ambushed first by Blood Sea, had already barely suppressed the surging blood Qi within his body. A large cauldron, wreathed in green mist, was thrown out by him, instantly transforming into a thirty-foot giant cauldron, covering Blood Sea's head.

On the other side, the one-armed old woman had also regenerated her arm and recalled the bone nails that had been sent flying by the Sword Qi earlier, attacking him.
