214: Chapter 215 True Dragon's Blood, the Martial Saint's Appetite

Lin Qi's Baji Mountain Crushing Force shattered the stone door, and ancient dust mixed with a majestic Aura rushed toward him. He did not blink.

An impact of this level was little more than an itch to his current physical body.

Inside the stone door was not some deep passage, but a vast Void Realm. He stepped inside, and bone-like cracks extended under his feet, leading into the distant darkness.

He sensed the changes in his surroundings.

"Tsk, this is getting interesting."

The pressure of gravity grew stronger. Lin Qi's Martial Intent Insight immediately captured that the gravity Law in this area had increased again.

From the previous ten times, it had doubled directly to twenty times. The air became thicker than mercury; with every breath, his lungs had to exert force to pull the heavy gas in.

"As expected, the closer one gets to the core, the better the body can be tempered."

Lin Qi thought to himself. He was not panicked at all; instead, he felt a faint excitement.

With this level of pressure, an ordinary Awakening practitioner entering would likely have their bones fall apart instantly. But for him, this was the perfect condition to hone his sinews and bones.

His Prototype Golden Body resonated continuously under the immense pressure. A faint golden glow appeared on his skin—not a conspicuous light, but a glimmer buried deep beneath the surface.

A hum came from deep within his bones. This was a sign of his physical body fighting to its limits.

Every muscle and bone was being reshaped under this gravity.

Lin Qi felt his body was like a stubborn rock under a hammer, being struck repeatedly to remove impurities and keep the essence.

"Now this is Cultivate!"

With every step he took, he left a very deep footprint on the hard bone-like ground.

It was not intentional; the gravity was simply too great, and combined with the natural Aura of his golden body, the footprints were profound. He felt the solid sensation coming from beneath his feet.

"The Prototype Golden Body is being tempered, and the Bloodline Furnace is also quietly growing. It seems my path as a Martial Saint is destined to consume more and be more brutal than others."

After passing through a narrow bone canyon, the view suddenly opened up. A wide underground space appeared before him.

Lin Qi narrowed his eyes. Martial Intent Insight instantly covered the entire area. The edges of this space were jagged black rock walls.

Massive inverted stone cones hung from the ceiling, having been there for who knows how many years. In the center stood an ancient Blood Sacrifice Altar ten meters high.

It was built entirely of an unknown black stone, exuding a sense of ancient and grand Aura.

"Sure enough, the good stuff is always hidden in the most dangerous places."

Lin Qi muttered to himself. This Blood Sacrifice Altar felt different from any System creation he had seen before.

It was more primitive, more savage. The surface of the Blood Sacrifice Altar was carved with extremely intricate ancient patterns.

These patterns were completely different from any existing System magic arrays in the Federation; there was not a trace of data-based design, only the purest natural power.

"Ancient Runes. The System cannot easily analyze this thing."

Lin Qi's Martial Intent Insight penetrated the surface of the Blood Sacrifice Altar, and he 'saw' the internal structure of the altar body.

The Blood Sacrifice Altar itself was a massive energy gathering and purification device.

It was like the organ of some creature, slowly and continuously drawing a certain high-dimensional energy from the surrounding environment, then filtering and precipitating it.

"Good heavens, an Abyss Creature juicer? This thing is potent!"

His gaze was involuntarily drawn to the liquid flowing in the grooves of the patterns.

It was an extremely thin liquid that emitted a dark golden glow, flowing slowly along the complex patterns as if it were alive.

"This luster, this Aura... True Dragon Relic Blood Droplets!"

Lin Qi immediately judged. He had seen this in his past life's game; it was something top experts would fight to the death for. It was formed through the accumulation of eons after the sacrifice of ancient creatures. Its purity was extremely high.

"Good stuff, this is definitely good stuff!" Lin Qi rubbed his hands in excitement.

He could feel that the purity of this relic blood far exceeded the Bloodline Qi Crystal he had obtained before.

While those Bloodline Qi Crystal were pure, compared to this true dragon relic blood, they were like tap water compared to aged fine wine.

This true dragon relic blood was the perfect nourishment to push his Prototype Golden Body a giant step forward.

"No wonder that fellow Ying Wan was lying there half-dead; turns out he was waiting for me to scout the path for him and then treat me as a Great Medicine."

Lin Qi talked to himself. He thought about what happened before and became more certain of his judgment. This place was dangerous, but the rewards were huge.

Without any hesitation, he walked toward the Blood Sacrifice Altar. Under twenty times gravity, every step he took was deep. He began to climb the stone steps leading to the top of the altar.

"This is what you call mountain climbing. Those 'Ladders to Heaven' from before were just child's play."

With every step he climbed, Lin Qi's body endured even greater pressure.

The closer he got to the Blood Sacrifice Altar, the stronger the pressure from the true dragon relic blood became. It was invisible and intangible, yet it seemed to want to crush his Soul. This pressure was not a mental attack, but pure suppression of life hierarchy.

"Hiss... if an ordinary person touched even a bit of this, their Soul would scatter!"

Lin Qi's Martial Intent Insight was fully active as he pushed upward step by step against the pressure.

Golden light flickered on the surface of his skin, his Prototype Golden Body hummed louder, and the sensation of being tempered deep in his bones grew stronger.

He felt the flow of True Qi within him. Although it was suppressed, in this environment, the circulation of True Qi became more solid.

Every breath pulled the thin Aura of Dragon blood into his body as the Blood Moving Technique and Turtle Breathing Technique operated simultaneously.

"This isn't just a Blood Sacrifice Altar; it's clearly my exclusive training room!"

Lin Qi grinned.

He finally reached the top of the Blood Sacrifice Altar. In the center of the platform was a groove.

Dark golden liquid flowed in the groove, emitting an enticing luster.

Standing in the center of the platform, he felt the desolate Aura rushing at him. This Aura seemed to blow from ancient times, carrying the scent of the primordial wilderness.

Lin Qi did not start absorbing immediately. He turned his gaze across the empty darkness.

Although no one had followed him in, who knew if there were other monsters.

Or would the Li family pull some other tricks? He did not want to be ambushed at a critical moment.

"Even though I've swatted the Li family's flies, that old dog Li Qingcang won't let this go."

He thought to himself. That old dog Li Qingcang, for the sake of face and to keep the Li family from becoming a laughingstock in Kyoto, would surely continue to use ruthless methods.

Lin Qi could feel that this time, he had truly offended the Li family to the death.

"But so what?"

The corners of Lin Qi's mouth curled up. He used his Martial Intent Insight to scan the surroundings, confirming there were no other threats for the time being.

"Enemies will always come."

He slowly sat down cross-legged. He extended his hands and pressed them against the cold surface of the Blood Sacrifice Altar, feeling the icy touch of the ancient patterns on his palms.

The moment his hands touched the patterns, his Prototype Golden Body and the true dragon relic blood resonated strongly.

That feeling was like rain after a long drought; his sleeping Bloodline was cheering.

"Come on, let me see..."

Lin Qi took a deep breath.

"To what extent can this so-called true dragon relic blood push my Indestructible Golden Body!"
