270: Chapter 27 Blood Demon's Lair! The Undying Blood Demon Codex!

At the same time, the supreme grade blood pill that Qin Yan had swallowed—most of whose medicinal power had already been used for his breakthrough—

Contained one last wisp of medicinal power, which was also its purest source essence.

As if attracted by this blood-colored nest, it actually detached itself voluntarily, transforming into a blood-red stream that trickled and poured into that embryonic nest!

"Buzz!"

The phantom of the nest absorbed this source medicinal power, and the blood-light instantly intensified!

Although its size didn't noticeably increase, its form instantly became much more solid. Its color changed from dark red to something resembling a burning blood-diamond—crystal clear, with blood-colored flames seemingly dancing inside.

"Is this... the 'foundation' or 'talent phenomenon' that naturally derived after I opened my human body's hidden treasury?"

Qin Yan was both surprised and suspicious.

According to common knowledge, when a martial artist reaches the Third Grade Limit and opens their hidden treasury, they comprehend a Body Tempering Technique.

But sometimes, it is accompanied by some special phenomena.

However, another change occurred!

The black seed, which had been staying at the stern of the boat and seemed to still be sulking, reacted the moment the blood-colored nest completely solidified and radiated blood-light.

It was as if it sensed something that made it extremely excited.

It abruptly turned around, turned into a black stream of light, and instantly appeared in front of Qin Yan!

The dark-gold patterns around it lit up with unprecedented brilliance!

It was no longer the soft, eerie light from before, but a powerful radiance carrying an ancient, mysterious, and even slightly domineering aura!

This radiance did not spread outward; instead, it suddenly converged and compressed inward.

Enveloping Little Black, it turned into an extremely condensed beam of dark light, ignoring the defenses of Qin Yan's skin, muscles, and bones.

It plunged directly into his chest and 'shined' precisely onto that newly formed blood-colored nest!

"What?!" Qin Yan was greatly shocked, but he had no time to react and was powerless to stop it.

The seed hovered quietly above the nest, emitting a deep, eerie light.

Then, strands of black mist began to drift from the seed's surface—incredibly pure, yet exuding an extremely cold and ancient, domineering aura.

This black mist was not an attack; instead, it carried a strange desire for 'affinity' and 'assimilation'.

It slowly drifted down, contacting and intertwining with the dense blood qi emitted by the blood-colored nest below.

The blood-colored nest instantly boiled!

The originally pure, crystalline blood-red color began to violently interweave, entwine, and fuse with the invading pure black mist!

Red and black—two completely different colors, both filled with powerful power attributes—formed a bizarre yet harmonious dynamic balance inside the nest.

They permeated each other, becoming one and the same.

An indescribable aura—a mixture of majestic blood qi, mysterious black qi, and a hint of disturbing ominousness and dominance—

Diffused from this transforming nest, making even Qin Yan feel a pang of palpitations.

"What on earth is going on?!"

Little Black's sudden action was completely beyond his comprehension.

It didn't seem to be destroying it, but more like... remodeling or completing this blood-colored nest condensed from his own potential?

Time slowly passed amidst this tense and bizarre internal evolution.

Qin Yan could only passively feel the red-and-black interwoven nest inside his body, its form becoming clearer and clearer under the continuous infusion of blood qi and black mist.

The aura it emitted also became thicker and deeper, gradually stabilizing.

Finally, just as the blood boat was about to reach the other shore and the outline of the riverbank ahead was clearly visible—

The red-and-black nest inside Qin Yan's body emitted a slight hum that only he could 'hear', as if originating from the very source of life, and completely took shape!

It was still only the size of a grain of rice, hovering quietly above his heart, but it was no longer illusory.

The entire nest displayed a strange color of interwoven blood-red and pitch-black, its surface covered with countless fine, profound, natural blood-black patterns.

Those patterns seemed to be slowly flowing, occasionally flashing with blood-light or black mist.

The moment the nest was completely formed and stabilized—

Little Black, hovering above it, seemed to have finally found its ultimate home.

It emitted an extremely subtle spiritual fluctuation that was almost 'joyful'.

Then, with a flash of eerie light,

The entire seed, like a swallow returning to its nest, turned into a condensed black stream of light and plunged straight into the black-and-red interwoven nest below, disappearing.

In the next moment, an unprecedented, crystal-clear connection—as if linked by bloodline—was suddenly established between Qin Yan and that black seed!

Not only could he clearly 'perceive' the existence of the nest, but he could also clearly 'feel' the... emotions of the black seed within it!

Happiness! Excitement! Satisfaction! As if a long-wandering traveler had finally returned to a warm home!

And... a tiny bit of inexplicable... resentment toward Qin Yan, its 'host'?

This resentment was definitely not because of that supreme grade blood pill that had been 'stolen' earlier (*/ω\*)!

"Blood Sea Nest? No..."

As the nest completely formed and the seed settled in, strands of profound information, like an inheritance already engraved deep in his bloodline, naturally emerged in Qin Yan's mind.

He instantly understood the name and function of this nest.

"After fusing with Little Black's strange energy, it should now be called—the Blood Demon Nest!"

Feeling the various mysteries of the Blood Demon Nest, Qin Yan felt a strong sense of curiosity and a desire to explore alongside his shock.

He looked at the Blood River close at hand, and with a slight thought, he tried to activate the newly formed Blood Demon Nest.

He raised his right hand, palm up, and concentrated his will on the nest.

"Buzz..."

In his palm, a miniature, slowly rotating dark-red vortex appeared out of thin air, its edges faintly flickering with black patterns.

Suddenly, something strange happened!

In the surrounding Blood River, the pure blood qi that originally required killing a Blood Spirit or gathering a blood flower to obtain—

Now, as if soldiers summoned by an emperor, it actually detached itself from the viscous blood plasma.

It transformed into strands and wisps of pale-red air currents, crossing several yards and plunging into the blood-colored vortex in Qin Yan's palm!

"Body Tempering Technique—Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture, refine!"

Qin Yan gave a low shout!

This blood qi absorbed into Qin Yan's body was then instantly captured, absorbed, and refined by the Blood Demon Nest above his heart!

Tempered by the nest, this external blood qi was purified to the extreme, removing the dross and retaining the essence.

Then, it turned into a peculiar warm current, quietly merging into Qin Yan's body!

Qin Yan could clearly feel that beneath his skin, an extremely faint, looming layer of red-and-black interwoven profound patterns had emerged.

They flickered with a faint light but soon faded away, as if absorbed by the skin.

A slight itching and a sense of strengthening came over him; his body was being polished and consolidated once again at the most minute level by this pure power!

That's right, this 'Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture' was the Body Tempering Technique unique to him that he had comprehended in his human body's hidden treasury when he broke through the Third Grade Limit and opened the Blood Demon Nest!

However, after carefully perceiving the contents of this 'Body Tempering Technique', the shock in Qin Yan's heart grew even greater!

How was this a simple 'technique' or 'divine ability'?

This was clearly the core inheritance of a top-tier body-refining cultivation method with a complete system and lofty aspirations, pointing directly toward the Great Dao!
