359: Blood Demon Remnant

The Goldglaze Vine had no consciousness of its own, remaining completely unaware even when refined into blood essence.

This saved a lot of trouble, as generally, only Star Level plants and above could develop consciousness, and by Galaxy Level, the consciousness of many plants was no different from ordinary living beings.

However, the Goldglaze Vine was an exception; it was a peculiar existence.

It was truly astonishing that the Great Wizard could develop such a plant.

"Huh, why is this place so strange?" Lin Ye, with nothing else to do, wandered around this space.

He found the space here to be vast, yet it was filled with an eerie aura everywhere. The seemingly ordinary magma was not simple at all; it flowed like blood vessels, emitting a peculiar vitality. Moreover, the concentration of demonic energy here was abnormally high, more than ten times that of the outside. Furthermore, the spacetime rules here also seemed somewhat unique.

"Oh? You've already noticed it? That's right, this place was originally the internal space of a giant beast," Lake's voice came, answering the doubts in Lin Ye's heart.

"Giant beast?" Lin Ye couldn't help but be startled. Could it be that the massive mountain range was the body of a giant beast? How terrifying.

"Yes, the mountain range outside is the materialized corpse of that giant beast after its Death. The giant beast was named Bloodfiend, an existence no less than the Great Wizard, and its physical body was incredibly powerful; no one had ever seen its true form. Unfortunately, in the Godfall Land, during that great War, it was annihilated as a core force resisting the angels."

Lin Ye knew the legend of the Godfall Land.

The angel legion attacked, encountering no resistance in the first two layers, instantly annihilating an unknown number of Demon Gods.

Even thirteen of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods stationed there were wiped out.

But when they reached the Seventh Layer, they were stalemated, and this Godfall Land was where the stalemate occurred.

That holy War lasted for thirty million years, which was rare even in the history of Heaven and Hell.

He didn't expect this giant beast to have fallen then.

"Wait, the method you mentioned for establishing a special physique later on couldn't possibly be based on this giant beast, could it?"

Lin Ye realized.

"That's right, this beast has been dead for an unknown number of years, but its physical body remains undamaged, operating autonomously. Its efficiency is something even the Seventy-Two Demon Gods can't match. If the angels hadn't used a forbidden weapon to target its Soul and instantly kill its Soul, this giant beast might have accelerated the end of the War."

"Bloodfiend, a strange beast born in the abyss, unlike ordinary demonic beasts, it naturally possesses a special physique that can absorb all energy substances to strengthen its physical body. Its body is incredibly vast, and every move it makes can destroy the heavens and earth. After its fall, countless covetous individuals desired its physical body, but they were all helpless. Even a Demon Venerable tried to research it but ultimately shook his head and left."

"And our great Great Wizard, guided by destiny, comprehended a part of the Bloodfiend's mysteries and transformed the Bloodfiend's remnant body into his own property."

Lin Ye understood.

The Great Wizard, guided by destiny—luck—accidentally entered this space, comprehended some of its mysteries, and began to utilize the Bloodfiend's remnant body.

"Then why didn't the Great Wizard use this method of refining a special physique himself?"

Lin Ye asked, somewhat puzzled.

If the Great Wizard had used it, he probably wouldn't have died during his breakthrough.

Even if he died, he wouldn't have been completely annihilated.

"The method the Great Wizard created was useless to him. That plan is only effective before becoming a god and shaping a divine body; after that, it becomes ineffective."

Lake sounded a bit regretful.

This was also the Great Wizard's regret.

"I'll teach you the method now. With the blood essence, you can already start trying to refine it."

A memory inheritance was transmitted from Lake.

Magic Blood Secret Canon!

This secret manual belonged to a very special cultivation method; it didn't have clear level divisions. However, once successfully cultivated, it could shape a unique special physique.

His senior sister's special physique could continuously strengthen her physical body by devouring metal.

In comparison, the Bloodfiend's special physique was even more powerful—it could absorb all energy substances to enhance its physical strength.

The "all" mentioned here was not limited to common energy states such as Star Power, holy light, and demonic energy, but also included blood energy, dark matter energy, and so on. This physique was undoubtedly superior to his senior sister's physique.

Once this special physique was cultivated, it meant that the enemy's attacks would be absorbed by the physical body, thereby greatly reducing the damage caused to the body.

Coupled with the Bloodfiend's enormous body and astonishing recovery ability, if one wanted to achieve a breakthrough in physical body, perhaps only experts at the Venerable Realm could pose a threat to him. Otherwise, even opponents of the same level would find it difficult to deal with him.

Perhaps some might question: such a huge and clumsy body could easily be dealt with by using sealing techniques, right? Indeed, although sealing techniques have a lower hit rate, their effects are abnormally abnormal.

However, for behemoths like the Bloodfiend, hitting them wasn't an issue, so they were most easily countered by sealing techniques.

But seals are also an energy state; they would also be absorbed.

From this, it can be seen that the only way to deal with the Bloodfiend was from the Soul aspect.

"To cultivate the Magic Blood Secret Canon, one must undergo eighty-one Bloodfiend Reincarnations to succeed. What? Ninety-one Death tribulations?"

The so-called Bloodfiend Reincarnation was to temper the physical body using the Bloodfiend's remnant body in conjunction with a large amount of blood essence, by repeatedly pushing the physical body to its limit, thereby extracting the Bloodfiend's physique ability.

To put it bluntly, it was to let the Bloodfiend assimilate oneself.

Each such assimilation was a Death tribulation; you never knew when you would suddenly die.

???

Is this something a human can cultivate?

Lake gave an awkward laugh.

The Great Wizard's method was indeed a bit crude, but after countless years of experimentation, he found that trying to steal someone else's physique was truly as difficult as ascending to heaven.

So the Great Wizard utilized the Bloodfiend's remnant body's characteristic of devouring all energy substances and blood energy to design this Magic Blood Secret Canon.

"To gain power, sacrifice is inevitable," Lake said solemnly.

"But this is almost certain Death, isn't it?" Lin Ye glared at Lake.

Lake couldn't maintain his composure and awkwardly said, "Actually, it's fine if you don't cultivate it. The cost-effectiveness is indeed too low, haha."

Lin Ye was progressing steadily; surpassing the Great Wizard was just around the corner, so why take this risk?

Lake also wanted to fulfill the Great Wizard's regret and tentatively put forward this Magic Blood Secret Canon.

The result was as he expected.

How could Lin Ye, as steady as an old dog, cultivate such a cultivation method with ten chances of Death and no chance of survival?

Eighty-one was still the most basic version, yielding few of the Bloodfiend's physical properties. Lake wasn't even sure how many difficulties it would take to perfectly inherit it.

Lin Ye's heart was bleeding. Could it be that this heaven-sent fortune truly couldn't be grasped?

"No, I have a panel; I can modify and perfect it. I don't believe this heaven-sent fortune can't be grasped!"
