140: Blood Soul Fire

When the giant fist descended, the strong winds it kicked up were fierce, and an extremely astonishing sense of oppression spread.

It was as if a mountain was crashing down.

The air exploded.

Xiao Shi’s heart tightened.

Now that the Stone Monkey had turned golden, its entire strength had undergone earth-shattering changes.

It was far from what it was before.

Xiao Shi even felt that the Stone Monkey’s current strength was incredibly close to the Blood Martial Realm.

This made him not dare to be careless.

He became serious.

Buzz!

From Xiao Shi’s body, a brilliant golden light suddenly burst forth.

Its light shone brightly.

It sparkled with radiance.

His figure immediately began to expand at a visible speed, his entire physique continuously growing larger, directly transforming into a massive giant three meters tall!

Golden light shimmered on its surface.

His skin looked as if it was coated with a layer of gold paint.

Muscles bulged.

Like an enraged Vajra!

It was… the Invincible Vajra Body!

In just a blink of an eye, Xiao Shi’s physique reached the size of the golden Stone Monkey; one man and one monkey, both became incredibly huge.

They were like two golden giants, constantly colliding and striking.

Facing the golden Stone Monkey’s descending punch.

Xiao Shi reached out and grabbed its fist.

Even the golden Stone Monkey’s powerful punch, after being gripped by Xiao Shi’s hand, found it difficult to move an inch.

Golden light flickered in Xiao Shi’s eyes.

His palm exerted force.

He squeezed the golden Stone Monkey’s fist, making cracking sounds.

At the same time, his body moved, and he directly unleashed the body refining technique [Raging Bull Ram], his entire massive body crashing heavily into the golden Stone Monkey.

In his current form, the [Raging Bull Ram] he unleashed was much more powerful than before.

When he crashed into the golden Stone Monkey.

Even with the golden Stone Monkey’s strength, the part of its body that was hit directly shattered and fell off under this powerful impact.

At the same time, the entire golden Stone Monkey was sent flying backward from the impact.

But it hadn’t flown far yet.

Xiao Shi grabbed its fist and forcibly dragged it back.

His elbow struck heavily.

Pfft!

It directly slammed into the golden Stone Monkey’s chest.

Its entire chest was caved in.

Xiao Shi’s figure flickered.

As if he had transformed into a golden light.

Although his body had become massive, his speed did not become slow or clumsy because of it; instead, his speed was even faster.

He grabbed the golden Stone Monkey’s head and slammed it hard onto the ground.

The ground roared, cracking and collapsing.

The entire golden Stone Monkey was completely dominated by Xiao Shi.

After all, in this state, Xiao Shi’s combat power had reached a level comparable to the Blood Martial Realm.

It was completely beyond what this golden Stone Monkey could contend with.

Multiple parts of its body shattered, and stones continuously fell from it, in just a short moment.

These fallen stones from the golden Stone Monkey caused its entire body to shrink considerably.

Boom!

Xiao Shi raised his right foot.

He stomped heavily on the golden Stone Monkey lying on the ground.

Immediately, large cracks appeared on the ground all around the golden Stone Monkey.

The golden Stone Monkey’s entire chest was directly pierced through by Xiao Shi’s foot!

This terrifying blow… instantly annihilated the golden Stone Monkey!

Whoosh!

Xiao Shi’s figure then shrank.

Returning to his original form.

He did not continue to maintain the state of the Invincible Vajra Body.

After all, in this state, his consumption was extremely huge, and he could not maintain it for long.

However, Xiao Shi discovered… that after he killed the golden Stone Monkey in the state of the Invincible Vajra Body, his Invincible Vajra Body seemed to become more condensed and refined.

Xiao Shi’s eyes flickered at this.

The characteristic of the Invincible Vajra Body.

Lies in not being defeated!

If a defeat occurs even once, the entire Vajra Body will be broken, causing a significant drop in strength.

But if he wins… it seems to be able to bring a buff to the Invincible Vajra Body, making it even stronger!

“That is to say…”

“Continuous victories will continuously strengthen the Invincible Vajra Body! The only thing is that defeat cannot occur…”

Xiao Shi suddenly understood.

This also made his heart excited and expectant.

He pondered that the more victories he achieved, the greater the buff the Invincible Vajra Body would receive.

In this way.

When he achieved ten consecutive victories… or even a hundred consecutive victories.

The entire Invincible Vajra Body would inevitably reach an extremely terrifying level under the buff!

At the same time.

With the death of the Stone Monkey.

An item also dropped after its death.

Xiao Shi quickly picked it up.

【Name: Blood Soul Flame】

【Type: Flame】

【Grade: High-grade Resource】

【Description: A special flame formed from a blood soul.】

【Remarks: After use, it can bring a great enhancement to Blood Beasts with fire-elemental power, and it conflicts with ice-elemental power, thus incompatible.】

...Xiao Shi’s eyes instantly brightened.

However, he was not too surprised by this.

After all, when this Stone Monkey turned golden and its physique grew larger, its strength had already reached a level incredibly close to the Blood Martial Realm!

This was far more powerful than ordinary Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection.

Therefore, the item it dropped after death.

Would not be a mid-grade resource.

But a high-grade resource!

“Finally got a high-grade resource!”

Xiao Shi’s heart was particularly excited.

And it was also a high-grade resource that perfectly matched the Crimson Tiger!

He couldn’t wait to use this high-grade resource to enhance the little Crimson Tiger.

Whoosh!

This was a blood-colored humanoid soul flame, the entire soul flame in the shape of a small person.

However, it had no face or features.

The moment he saw this [Blood Soul Flame].

The entire Crimson Tiger Blood Beast became excited.

Its eyes revealed intense fanaticism and urgency.

At Xiao Shi’s signal, it immediately began to absorb this [Blood Soul Flame].

As the entire [Blood Soul Flame] was absorbed by the Crimson Tiger.

Numerous flames immediately emerged continuously from the Crimson Tiger’s entire body.

And these were not ordinary flames.

But a strange blood flame.

It enveloped the Crimson Tiger’s entire body.

The Crimson Tiger’s tail had already formed a fire tail from previous fire-elemental resources.

However, now the entire fire tail also underwent a transformation within the blood flame, similarly becoming a blood flame.

At the same time.

Under the diffusion of these blood flames.

The Crimson Tiger’s entire body also began to grow rapidly.

Its four limbs became thicker, and its body became more robust.

And a kind of domineering aura that it did not possess before began to emanate from its body.

And this was merely the superficial change.

Xiao Shi clearly perceived.

The changes occurring within the Crimson Tiger’s body were also incredibly significant.

In addition to the numerous internal threads.

Within these threads, there was also a cluster of flames.

All the threads revolved around this cluster of flames.

Forming a very complex roadmap of some kind.

“This is… the prototype of a Blood Source!?”

Xiao Shi’s heart stirred.

The Crimson Tiger before, no matter how it grew, showed no significant movement in terms of Blood Source.

However, now after using the [Blood Soul Flame], the entire [Blood Soul Flame] seemed to have become the foundation of the Blood Source.

Giving the Crimson Tiger a foundation for the formation of its Blood Source.

In this way.

Xiao Shi would be able to form a complete Blood Source based on this dao foundation in his subsequent rearing of the Crimson Tiger.

This was clearly a good start.

After all, the formation of the Blood Source was the most important thing for a Blood Beast.

Whoosh!

Soon.

After being enhanced by the [Blood Soul Flame].

The entire Crimson Tiger’s form had a significant difference compared to before.

Its size had reached that comparable to a wolf.

Blood flames surrounded its entire body.

A sense of dominance and ferocity continuously emanated from its body, captivating the soul.

Not only that.

The previous Crimson Tiger did not possess much combat capability.

Now, enhanced by the [Blood Soul Flame], it already possessed a certain level of combat ability.

When Xiao Shi fought later, it would be able to assist from the side.

Of course.

Currently, the Crimson Tiger’s combat strength is limited.

However, Xiao Shi knew that as he continuously reared the Crimson Tiger, when it grew to a certain extent, it would definitely possess strength no weaker than his own.

At that stage… perhaps it would not just be about the individual strength of these contestants.

It would also depend on the combat power of the Blood Beasts they each reared.

No matter what.

Xiao Shi was currently in an absolute lead.

The enhancement brought by high-grade resources was far greater than that of mid-grade resources.

If one were to use mid-grade resources to form the foundation of a Blood Source, then the quantity of mid-grade resources required would be incredibly numerous.

However, a high-grade resource only required one to bring about such enhancement and change.

“If I could also get my hands on the high-grade resources in this domain…”

Xiao Shi’s heart burned with eagerness.

He pondered that if he could continue to acquire high-grade resources, even if he couldn’t immediately form a Blood Source, it would definitely provide a huge impetus for the formation of a Blood Source.

However.

At this moment, he realized that something was amiss.

Logically speaking.

The creatures appearing in this Game Arena would generally be blood-colored creatures.

And these creatures would also be a type of resource that could enhance Blood Beasts.

But the Stone Monkey that appeared here now… was not of this type!

The feeling this Stone Monkey gave Xiao Shi… was as if it did not belong to this Game Arena!

Especially after its enhancement, it didn’t even turn blood-colored, but golden… which was even more illogical.

Xiao Shi’s eyes flickered.

He vaguely had some guesses in his heart.

But he couldn’t be sure if his inner guesses were true.

He needed further verification.

Thinking of this.

Xiao Shi did not linger here any longer, immediately taking the Crimson Tiger and moving quickly through the domain.

Now, as the distance between them continuously widened.

Xiao Shi could no longer see the situation of the other people.

And the crises he encountered later were all quite ordinary, no longer causing him too much trouble.

He resolved them with ease.

Just like that, when he brought the Crimson Tiger to a location not far from the two high-grade resources in the domain.

Several hundred meters in front of him.

Swish!

The air twisted.

A figure appeared out of thin air from nothingness.

Kneeling on the ground.

Gasping for breath.

This person… was Lin Xiaocheng!

At this moment, Lin Xiaocheng’s face was pale and he was quite weak.

As he gasped, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi also stared at him.

The moment he saw Lin Xiaocheng appear out of thin air in front of him, Xiao Shi’s conjecture in his heart gained some certainty.

This made his eyes darken slightly.

A hint of killing intent even emanated from his eyes.

The killing intent emanating from Xiao Shi made Lin Xiaocheng pause slightly.

He instantly realized that the other party had already seen through his plan.

He sighed at this.

He had originally intended to continue his disguise.

Since he had been exposed… he simply stopped pretending.

Although his direct teleportation through the domain to this place caused immense consumption, he still had enough confidence to restrict Xiao Shi through the domain.

He extended his right hand, spread his five fingers, and pressed fiercely in Xiao Shi’s direction through the air.

Boom!

Instantly.

Xiao Shi felt the surrounding air become extremely heavy, as if a mountain was pressing heavily on him.

Making it impossible for him to take another step forward.

“This domain… was originally set up by you!”

Xiao Shi’s eyes were as dark as water.

“That’s right.”

Lin Xiaocheng nodded.

“To obtain those two high-grade resources here, I must use the power of the domain.”

“But my own power within the domain is not enough; I need to accumulate more power.”

“Therefore…”

“I found you all.”

“Your battles and confrontations within the domain will all provide energy for my domain, forming a path to where those two resources are located!”

“But what I didn’t expect was…”

“You are so strong!!!”

“Even my domain spirit couldn’t stop you.”

Originally, according to Lin Xiaocheng’s plan.

He only needed to use the domain spirit to block Xiao Shi, and Xiao Shi would not be able to reach the location of those two resources faster than him.

Although this domain was originally set up by him.

However, with his strength and cultivation, he still couldn’t control the domain as he wished.

He also needed to walk step by step within the domain to reach the final resource location.

If before that.

Xiao Shi arrived there faster than him.

Then everything he had done would be in vain.

Originally, he initially invited Xiao Shi to join the team, thinking he could use Xiao Shi’s strength to speed up the formation of a path to the location of those two resources.

After all, the domain he set up required a considerable amount of power to form a path to the location of the two resources.

But he didn’t expect… Xiao Shi would be so strong!

Even when he felt Xiao Shi’s strength and enhanced the domain spirit, it was still no match for him.

Because of this.

He had no choice but to teleport through the domain to arrive in front of Xiao Shi before Xiao Shi reached the endpoint.

Although this meant huge consumption and a considerable cost for him.

He had no choice but to do so.

Now that he had arrived in front of Xiao Shi, he immediately used his control over the domain to suppress Xiao Shi.

“Although my domain spirit couldn’t stop you, your battle with the domain spirit has already caused the domain to form a path to the location of the two resources. Now, you just need to watch me go and get those two high-grade resources.”

Lin Xiaocheng revealed a smile of assured victory.
