323: Chapter 323 Bone Forging and Blood Refining Completed!

After leaving the Blood God Hall square, Qin Yan pushed his near-exhausted body to move rapidly through the intricate ruins of the Royal Court.

He specifically chose remote and desolate paths and ruined walls that were difficult to track.

After circling for nearly half an hour, he finally found a narrow opening, barely large enough for one person, hidden behind a massive broken pillar and vines deep within an unremarkable cluster of collapsed palaces.

Qin Yan used the last of his blood qi to blast away the cobwebs and rubble at the entrance and slipped inside.

He then quickly used stones and vines to partially conceal the entrance from the inside.

Only after finishing all this did his tense nerves slightly relax.

His body went limp, and he slid down against the cold stone wall, panting heavily.

Without resting for long, he immediately took out a Healing Pill from his Storage Ring and swallowed it without hesitation.

The pill melted the moment it entered his mouth, turning into a gentle and peaceful medicinal power that flowed through his limbs and bones, nourishing his exhausted body.

At the same time, he fully circulated the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture.

A layer of blood mist gradually enveloped Qin Yan's entire body, making him look as if he were sitting cross-legged inside a blood cocoon.

The blood mist continuously seeped into his skin, working with the medicinal power and technique energy within his body to repair his injuries and replenish his nearly withered blood qi.

Half an hour later, Qin Yan slowly opened his eyes.

His pale complexion regained its color, and the split skin between his thumb and forefinger healed as before.

The charred, bone-deep scar on his left arm had also scabbed over and fallen off, revealing the newly grown, tougher skin underneath.

His injuries had recovered by eighty to ninety percent.

However, Qin Yan did not end his cultivation there.

There was still an extremely massive "blood qi treasure" stored within his body!

This "blood qi treasure" primarily came from two sources:

First was the blood qi, dense to the extreme, that had permeated the battlefield during his previous fierce battle and slaughter of hundreds of Heavenly Prides; he had quietly absorbed a portion of it, which now lay dormant deep within his flesh.

Second was the largest and most pure portion—the vast Blood Dao source energy attached to the one-thousandth of the Blood Dao Profundity gifted by Blood Absolute!

He had been deliberately suppressing it before, without refining even a fraction.

Now that the powerful enemies had temporarily retreated and he was in a safe place, it was the perfect time to thoroughly digest these gains and charge toward a higher realm!

Qin Yan closed his eyes again, pushing the circulation of the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture to its current limit!

"Refine!"

Driven by his thoughts, the blood qi lurking in various parts of his body was forcibly extracted, purified, and refined, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea!

A massive amount of pure blood qi energy was generated, which he then guided.

Like invisible hammers and chisels, it began to perform a deeper level of tempering and carving on the twenty-six bones of his entire body!

"Buzz... Buzz..."

A low buzzing sound faintly emanated from within Qin Yan's body.

Upon his bones, the "Blood Demon Patterns" of interwoven blood-red and black that had initially appeared now began to light up and flicker one by one under the infusion of surging blood qi!

The patterns became clearer and deeper.

The color of his bones also gradually shifted from jade-like white to a restrained dark red bony substance, with their density and strength increasing at an astonishing speed.

After half a quarter-hour.

"Boom!"

A silent thunderclap seemed to ring out inside Qin Yan's body!

All the bones in his body simultaneously erupted with an intense dark red light, faintly visible through his flesh!

All the "Blood Demon Patterns" completely connected and linked at the same moment!

With this, the bone remolding was fully complete!

However, the massive blood qi energy within his body, especially the source blood qi attached to the Blood Dao Profundity, had been consumed by less than one-fifth!

"The bone remolding is done, and my blood qi is so abundant. Perhaps... I can try to charge through the remolding of the Blood Refining Realm!

In one go, I'll transform all the 'jade blood' in my body into the higher-level 'Blood Demon True Blood'!"

Without any hesitation, Qin Yan instantly switched his technique route to the Blood Refining Chapter!

The "jade blood" within his body, which had originally been warm, jade-colored, and crystal clear...

Under the impact of the majestic blood qi and the technique's power, it began to churn and boil violently!

Strands of impurities were forcibly stripped away and evaporated, and the essential structure of his blood was violently rewritten and optimized.

The jade color quickly faded, replaced by a deep, viscous red-black color that contained terrifying vitality and violent energy!

Time passed slowly as Qin Yan was immersed in his cultivation.

The next day, when the first faint ray of daylight shone into the cave through the cracks, Qin Yan's face had turned flush red.

Above his head, wisps of pale red blood qi rose like steam, lingering around the roof of the cave.

Over ninety-five percent of the blood in his body had now been transformed into that deep, overbearing red-black "Blood Demon True Blood"!

Only his heart and a few major arterial hubs still had the last stubborn traces of "jade blood" putting up a final resistance.

"The final step!"

Qin Yan gritted his teeth and mobilized the remaining source blood qi from the Blood Dao Profundity, turning it into a final "tempering hammer" to fiercely "strike" the last remaining jade blood!

"Condense!"

A low shout rang out in his heart!

"Chii..."

Under the impact of the most refined and pure Blood Dao source, those last bits of lustrous white jade blood finally dissolved and transformed completely, merging into the surging red-black river of blood!

"Buzz—!!!"

At the very moment his entire body's blood was completely transformed into "Blood Demon True Blood," Qin Yan's whole body shook violently!

An indescribable sense of liberation and power, as if he had broken free from some invisible shackles and his life level had leaped, instantly swept through every cell in his body!

"Boom!"

Uncontrollably, a majestic wave of blood qi, like a sleeping giant dragon awakening, erupted from within him!

Inside the cave, rubble fell, and the ground trembled slightly.

Several rocks near Qin Yan were even directly blasted off the ground by this pure blood qi pressure, shattering against the cave walls!

Immediately after, a strange change occurred.

The erupting red-black blood qi spontaneously intertwined, merged, and compressed in mid-air!

Finally, about a foot in front of Qin Yan, it condensed into two palm-sized, rotating three-dimensional runes that emitted distinct yet profoundly mysterious auras!

One rune was entirely blood-red, like the purest blood crystal, with countless tiny blood droplets forming and vanishing within it—this was the "Blood Rune"!

The other rune was a deep, pitch black, as if it could swallow all light, with distorted demon patterns flowing on its surface, emitting a will of chaos, erosion, and destruction—this was the "Demon Rune"!

These two runes were the foundation of the "Origin Divine Ability" automatically birthed after the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture completed the thorough remolding of the Basic Three Realms!

The runes paused slightly in the air before turning into two streaks of light, like young swallows returning to their nest, instantly sinking into Qin Yan's chest and vanishing.
