914: True Demon Blood Core

A mysterious stream of information flowed into Chu Ying's mind, as if it were told to him by the Heavenly Dao rules of the Tian Yuan Ancient Secret Realm.

[true devil blood core: Contains the mysterious and powerful pure Origin power of the Heavenly Demon Universe, and can be used to refine the Physical Body, temper the physique and internal organs; and refine the Great Dao.]

"Good stuff!"

"No wonder the Physical Body defenses of these true devils are so strong. They are indeed not ordinary Heavenly Demons; they possess true devil blood cores within them."

Chu Ying immediately explained the matter to the women.

"Strengthen the Physical Body? Body Refining?" Liu Ping asked in surprise.

Although some top experts pay attention to Physical Body strength, they only temper it slightly to enhance it. In the current Martial Dao cultivation system, there are no specialized Body Refining methods outside of the basic Realms.

Of course, a Cultivator's physique and Physical Body strength also increase as their cultivation improves.

For example, the body of a Nine Tribulation Quasi-Emperor, even without activating defensive power, cannot be harmed by a Cultivator at the Celestial Venerable Realm or below.

At the Quasi-Emperor level, every time the Lightning Tribulation descends when a Cultivator makes a Breakthrough in their cultivation Realm, it also serves to temper the Cultivator's body.

Therefore, few people focus on Body Refining, except for a very small number of Legacies that explore the Dao of Physical Body cultivation.

Even Chu Ying only managed to increase his Physical Body strength after obtaining an Opportunity in the No Return Land of the Endless Sea on Origin Star.

"Your Physical Body is very strong, so you should just absorb and refine these true devil blood cores."

Mo Liyue said. None of them had ever practiced Body Refining, and while it was better than nothing, the strength gained from Body Refining would be negligible given their cultivation Realms.

"This can also temper the Great Dao. Your Dao Realms..."

Chu Ying said, looking at the six Beauties and Dao Companions beside him.

"Tempering the Great Dao? Isn't having you enough?" Mo Yanyue curled her red lips and said haughtily, "You are the Cauldron for the six of us. Don't you understand?"

Xue Qingluan, Liu Ping, Beigong Yunni, Mo Liyue, and Nalan Yu all had sparkling eyes upon hearing this, staring intently at Chu Ying. Their expressions varied: anticipation, nervousness, anxiety, shyness, and also infatuation, such as Liu Ping.

"Cough, cough!"

Chu Ying lightly coughed, "Well, um... let's talk about that later. Then I'll use them to temper my physique."

The women couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After collecting all the true devil blood cores from the true devils, the immortal leaves that appeared after they were killed, and automatically absorbing the ancient Essence of Heaven and Earth, Chu Ying and his Beauties departed.

But they were not leaving the Primordial First Line of Defense Ruins. This area was quite vast, and Chu Ying and the others had only just explored the cluster of Sect ruins, such as the Sword Sect.

It was only because they suddenly encountered Heavenly Demons that they rushed to the exit of the Primordial First Line of Defense Ruins to send off the five female Cultivator Elders from the Misty Rain Immortal Palace and the Burial Flower Holy Land.

Since the Primordial First Line of Defense Ruins also contained Heavenly Demons, Chu Ying decided not to leave; he needed to explore the entire area thoroughly!

No Method. He was an enemy of the Heavenly Demons. Since he could kill them and had already encountered them, he could not stand idly by.

Moreover, the number of immortal leaves obtained by killing Heavenly Demons far exceeded that from other searching methods. Crucially, they could also acquire items like the true devil blood core and Heaven and Earth Vital Qi to improve their cultivation... Meanwhile, Princess Xinyue and the Cultivators from Shihuang Mountain, who were originally pursuing Chu Ying's group, encountered Heavenly Demons again—specifically, the non-ordinary Heavenly Demons, the true devils, released from the ice lake they had opened.

The moment they met, the expressions of the Shihuang Mountain group drastically changed.

"This is bad! Take the Princess and flee!"

Quasi-Emperor Daoyang shouted, immediately activating his supreme emperor weapon and charging forward. He clearly understood the power of these Demon Race members. He didn't know their Origin, but they didn't seem to be creatures from the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

As the power of the supreme emperor weapon was activated, Quasi-Emperor Daoyang, who was at the Peak of the Nine Tribulation Quasi-Emperor Realm, erupted with terrifying might.

"Humans of the Heavens!"

"Kill them!"

"Use their blood as energy for the Great Emperor's seal to Break the Seal!"

It was also a group of true devils, no weaker than the true devils Chu Ying's group had encountered. Their incredibly powerful Physical Bodies directly withstood the Imperial Might.

Xin Yue and the others did not hesitate, turning around and fleeing immediately.

"These demonic creatures, hateful..."

Xin Yue gritted her teeth, her expression ugly. If she had known this, she would have just taken the immortal leaves from the ice lake earlier. She never expected to release something so terrifying.

However, the group of true devils quickly swarmed forward. Even Quasi-Emperor Daoyang, holding the Emperor Weapon, couldn't stop them, and could only block while retreating.

"Faster! Faster!"

"Protect the Princess well!"

Nine Tribulation Late Stage Quasi-Emperors from Shihuang Mountain continuously took action, engaging and fighting the pursuing true devils, but the situation was not good.

These true devils were extremely powerful, and their Physical Body defenses were terrifying. They completely ignored attacks and just charged forward.

At this moment, a true devil with terrifying combat power, fully comparable to a Nine Tribulation Peak expert, locked onto Princess Xinyue, who was still fleeing.

"The Child of Luck of the human race must be killed even more!"

The Peak true devil's ferocious, blood-red eyes released a crimson light that blasted out, and the Quasi-Emperors beside Princess Xinyue were immediately swept away, sustaining heavy injuries.

"Damn it!"

Xin Yue's expression was quite solemn. A screen of light appeared around her body, and she continued to flee, knowing she couldn't stop under any circumstances.

But just then.

She seemed to crash into a "human wall," slamming into a chest that was hard yet warm.

"You—"

Xin Yue suddenly looked up and was astonished to find it was Chu Ying!

"So flustered. You are a Fairy of the Burial Emperor Star Dao Lineage, after all. Where are your manners?"

Chu Ying smiled playfully, pulling Xin Yue's soft body into his embrace, one hand supporting her waist and the other hooking beneath her knee.

"Mm..." Xin Yue's cheeks flushed, but she anxiously said, "Powerful Demon Race members are chasing us here. What are you doing?"

"Isn't it just Heavenly Demons?"

Chu Ying's gaze was sharp as he stared at the Peak true devil pursuing them.

"Human! You carry the aura of our Great Emperor!"

The true devil's eyes were extremely crimson, as if bleeding, as it stared intently at Chu Ying. As if sensing something, it became incredibly furious and maniacal.

"Oh? You sensed it? I did kill a Heavenly Demon Great Emperor named Blood King not long ago."

"What about it?"

As Chu Ying spoke, the Peak true devil was completely enraged.

"You deserve to die!!!"

The Peak true devil charged straight over, its terrifyingly powerful Physical Body seeming capable of shattering everything.

Chu Ying narrowed his eyes and swung the immortal demon heavenly dragon sword!

The bonus of seven hundred forty-nine Sword Dao Profundities!

In terms of lethality, the Heavenly Dragon Sword was indestructible and could break through anything. In terms of strength, with the bonus of seven hundred forty-nine Sword Dao Profundities, Chu Ying's sword strike had enough power to slay this type of true devil without issue.

Moreover, Chu Ying hadn't even used the Great Side Effect Technique yet; otherwise, this true devil would have died even faster.

With one sword slash, the Peak true devil was suddenly knocked flying, a bloody, hideous, and dazzling gash across its body.

But the opponent actually didn't die, though its aura became extremely listless and weak.
