373: Blood of Demons Secret Codex

The Black Demon Knights had already set up their ambush, but to their surprise, they had found out that the people from Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce were staying here!

"The Path of Destiny?" A demon gasped in a low voice.

"I'm afraid it's true..." Another demon said with a hint of disbelief.

"Damn it! Who gave them the prophecy?" A demon cursed furiously.

They couldn't help but curse.

The Path of Destiny was simply the natural enemy of those who sought quick money!

"We can't stay in this stalemate any longer! His businesses are constantly generating wealth every day, while we can only sit here, eating into our savings!"

"Maybe he was just lured away by some succubus. Men, when they have money, naturally go to enjoy themselves. That's the meaning of 'club models.'"

"Bah! Do you think everyone is as lustful as you? Maybe he just has something urgent to deal with temporarily."

"Seriously, I think we should adopt a rotating shift strategy. It's just a war of attrition, right? We're not afraid. I don't believe he can really stay in Spartacus forever; that place is a money pit."

Spartacus was where Lin Ye conducted his transactions, and it was one of the seven cities and thirteen districts. It was full of luxury and temptation, making people indulge and unable to extricate themselves.

"We are a professional team; we will never lack patience. As long as we persevere, we will always find an opportunity."

Only a coiled viper can deliver a more lethal strike.

.........

"What should I do? I've been targeted." Lin Ye frowned, asking with some concern in his heart.

The current crisis was not fatal. With the Path of Destiny, he could avoid misfortune and seek good fortune.

But that dark existence blocked his path back to the Scarlet Land. If he couldn't return, those blood essence would not be collected.

"It's indeed troublesome. How about we return to the Original Universe first?" Hu suggested. Since he had already been targeted, staying in the Scarlet Land was clearly not a wise move. Returning to the Original Universe could avoid directly facing the attacks of enemies in the dark, and at the same time, he could seek more support and help.

After all, those who wanted to ambush Lin Ye would only ambush him on his way back to the Scarlet Land, and they would never think that he would directly teleport to other places. This gave Lin Ye a breathing space, allowing him to temporarily avoid the enemy's sharp edge.

Lin Ye nodded, agreeing with Hu's opinion. He understood that, for now, returning to the Original Universe was the safest and wisest choice.

"This is the only way. The Scarlet Land is deeply hidden; they won't be able to find it. With the demons staying behind, there's no fear of affecting production, so returning to the Original Universe is the best choice. It's also a good opportunity to hand over the stored new batch of blood essence to the main body."

Lin Ye instructed Max, telling him and the other demon guards to stand by, while he himself embarked on the path back to the Original Universe.

The most important thing about returning to the Original Universe this time was to update the strength of his clone. If his main body, with its strength of more than two-star Master, was no match for those enemies, he could still escape.

Although this trip would be very troublesome, even with the help of a teleportation array, it would take several hundred years.

"When I return again, it will be the day of your demise."

.........

In a mysterious area of Ophiuchus, Lin Ye was immersed in a sea of blood, cultivating the Magic Blood Secret Canon. The sea of blood surged, and crimson waves constantly rolled, as if they were the wails of countless vengeful spirits.

Lin Ye was enveloped in a layer of strange blood-red light. His skin was morbidly pale, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding sea of blood. He closed his eyes tightly, his face contorted, seemingly enduring immense pain.

As the cultivation progressed, Lin Ye's absorption became more and more terrifying. His body was like a bottomless pit, frantically devouring the energy of the surrounding sea of blood. The waves in the sea of blood became more violent, like a huge vortex, its momentum even more terrifying than a solar storm, and the entire space was distorted by this powerful force.

In this world filled with blood-red light, Lin Ye's figure gradually blurred, merging with the sea of blood, as if he had already become the master of this sea of blood.

"Seventeen hundred years, and I've finally cultivated this Magic Blood Secret Canon to its full level."

The pain just now dissipated, and the power of the Blood Demon Body made Lin Ye intoxicated.

Although not a Master, every move Lin Ye made exuded terrifying power.

"My strength has actually reached three-star Master. This special physique can even increase one star of combat power below the Star River."

Lin Ye was somewhat delighted.

Generally speaking, the peak of combat power below the Star River was two-star Master, because without divine power, divine artifacts could not be used.

However, special physiques were an exception.

Especially since Lin Ye had already cultivated the Blood Demon Body.

"Lin Ye, how is it?" Hu's voice sounded.

Lin Ye took a deep breath and slowly said, "According to my estimation, the Blood Demon Body should be divided into three grades, corresponding to the three levels of divine artifacts."

He naturally knew what Hu was asking.

Hu had limited understanding of special physiques. The Great Wizard's research on the Blood Demon Body only found out how to cultivate it acquiredly, but how to develop and cultivate it further was still a mystery.

"That makes a lot of sense. After all, it's benchmarked against divine artifacts. It's impossible for a low-level physique to increase one star of combat power even at seven-star Master." Hu nodded slightly, feeling that Lin Ye's words made some sense.

Lin Ye continued, "However, the potential of the Blood Demon Body is immense. If it can be fully developed, it might even surpass divine artifacts like the demon god pillar!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Hu's eyes. He didn't expect Lin Ye to evaluate the Blood Demon Body so highly.

Lin Ye smiled bitterly, "But it's not easy to develop the full potential of the Blood Demon Body..."

Hu asked curiously, "Why is that?"

Lin Ye explained, "Because subsequent development is not simple. It requires a massive amount of blood essence to nourish the body, and as the level increases, the required blood essence will increase exponentially."

He secretly lamented in his heart that his Blood Demon Body had just been cultivated, and even its ultimate body shape had not yet been filled.

The complete preliminary Blood Demon Body could reach a thousand kilometers in size.

And Lin Ye's current body was only two hundred thousand meters.

To reach the complete version, he didn't know how much blood essence would be consumed.

Not only that, the cost of filling the quantity was already so huge, and improving the physique was even more difficult.

Lin Ye shook his head helplessly and sighed, "It seems I'll have to find a way to get more blood essence in the future..."

Hu looked at Lin Ye's troubled expression and couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, don't worry, just take your time."

Lin Ye smiled bitterly and nodded, secretly determined to improve his strength as soon as possible and strive to develop the true power of the Blood Demon Body early.

"In the future, we can't just rely on blood essence. Other energy substances must also be taken seriously. Although this physique of ours has a big appetite, it's not picky." Hu said.

Lin Ye nodded.

They had already experimented, and other energies could also be used as energy for the Blood Demon Body.

For example, the Original Universe has been continuously drawing energy from the void to nourish the Blood Demon Body.

This was also why Lin Ye's cultivation was not too affected even when the blood essence supply was cut off.
