221: Fusion Bloodline

The moment Xiao Shi stepped out of the Realm, the Black Robed Man and the Star Luo Territory Lord’s gazes immediately converged on him.

“He actually didn’t disguise himself?”

The Star Luo Territory Lord was very surprised.

He had thought that this Hall Master of Tianji Hall would surely use disguise or similar methods to try and escape.

He never expected the other party to maintain his true appearance, without any concealment, brazenly appearing before them.

Just as the Black Robed Man and the Star Luo Territory Lord were feeling surprised, they suddenly noticed a faint, dark formation pattern beneath the Hall Master of Tianji Hall’s feet.

“This is…”

They focused their gaze.

Their expressions instantly changed drastically.

“Not good!”

“It’s a teleportation!!”

The Star Luo Territory Lord immediately initiated a lockdown.

However, it was too late.

The other party had clearly activated the teleportation while still within the Realm.

The figure that appeared now was merely an afterimage left behind by the teleportation, not his true body.

Swish!

The Black Robed Man appeared before Xiao Shi as if by instantaneous movement.

He reached out and grabbed, but passed directly through Xiao Shi’s body, touching only a phantom afterimage.

“Damn it!!”

The Black Robed Man was furious.

To lure out this Hall Master of Tianji Hall, their Fate Diviners had not hesitated to open a Realm and use a fragment of the celestial compass as bait.

They had even used the prophecy treasure three times in a row, causing it to enter a self-sealing state.

As a result, not only did they fail to capture him, but the other party also made off with the fragment of the celestial compass!

Even in their past clashes with Tianji Hall, they had never suffered such a great loss.

One must know that their Fate Diviners were once known as the bane of Tianji Hall.

But now… the Black Robed Man’s body trembled with anger.

At this moment, Xiao Shi’s figure had already become faint, indicating that his teleportation was about to reach its destination and could no longer be stopped.

“…Judging from the teleportation traces, this should be a territory teleportation!”

“He could have teleported away while still in the Realm, but he deliberately came out to let us see him…”

“Is he intentionally mocking us?”

The Star Luo Territory Lord said with a frown.

The Black Robed Man let out a roar, his entire figure shooting up into the sky, transforming into a black light that streaked into the distance.

“No matter where he goes, I will definitely find him!!”

The Star Luo Territory Lord looked at the agitated Black Robed Man, remaining silent.

Although he didn’t know much about the Fate Diviners, he knew that the reappearance of Tianji Hall was of great significance to them.

After all, the very existence of the Fate Diviners was to deal with Tianji Hall.

“What… what should we do now?”

A subordinate beside the Star Luo Territory Lord asked somewhat blankly.

They had all been prepared to capture the Hall Master of Tianji Hall, but never expected him to possess teleportation abilities.

They could only watch helplessly as his figure vanished before them.

The Star Luo Territory Lord sighed.

“I originally thought that this current Hall Master of Tianji Hall’s cultivation wasn’t high, and he would be easy to deal with…”

“Facts prove that I underestimated him.”

“To be able to become the Hall Master of Tianji Hall, he must already be extraordinary; how could he be simple?”

“Forget it.”

“Since the Hall Master of Tianji Hall is no longer in our Star Luo Territory, there’s no need to continue the fuss. Return to your respective provinces.”

The others nodded in agreement.

Although they felt some reluctance, with the departure of the Hall Master of Tianji Hall, they could only give up.

For the Star Luo Territory Lord, he could not easily leave the Star Luo Territory, and naturally could not track down the other party in other territories like the Black Robed Man.

As long as the Hall Master of Tianji Hall left the Star Luo Territory, he would have no way to deal with him.

At the same time, in a territory extremely far from the Star Luo Territory, swish!

The corpse of a dong kui clansman appeared out of thin air.

It was clear that the entire corpse had suffered extensive damage during the long-distance teleportation, with torn flesh in various parts and many shattered bones.

Such a teleportation caused immense damage to the physical body.

However, the damage to the physical body was not the most severe.

What was truly severe… was the soul consciousness contained within the corpse.

Xiao Shi felt this part of his soul as if it had suffered a heavy blow.

His entire soul felt as if it had been violently torn and mercilessly shredded.

Although the grade of the Territory Teleportation Talisman was Martial Soul Grade, the Martial Soul Realm merely satisfied its initial usage conditions.

Even a Martial Soul Realm expert would suffer a certain degree of injury when using the Territory Teleportation Talisman, let alone Xiao Shi, who currently only had Blood Martial Realm cultivation.

As the soul shattered, his consciousness remaining in the corpse gradually fell into darkness… “Ugh!!”

Xiao Shi groaned, clutching his head in pain, his face ashen.

The agony of his shattered soul was entirely fed back to his main body.

His entire aura was greatly weakened as a result, feeling an excruciating headache, a hazy consciousness, and blurred vision.

However, all of this was within his expectations.

Before the teleportation, he had already prepared to bear this cost.

From the moment he manipulated the corpse to enter the Realm, he knew that this corpse would be difficult to preserve.

He was well aware that unless he gave up the fragment of the celestial compass, he definitely wouldn't be able to keep this corpse.

But as long as the corpse could serve its intended purpose, it was worth it!

After all, he had already extracted the most important Dong Kui Bloodline from the corpse.

And his current teleportation in front of everyone would serve as excellent misdirection, making the powerful experts currently gathered in Tian Dou Province believe that he had already left Tian Dou Province and the Star Luo Territory.

This way, they would not continue to stay in Tian Dou Province, and he believed Tian Dou Province would soon return to normal.

“Now I need to resolve the soul problem as soon as possible…”

The shattering of his soul left Xiao Shi in a very poor state.

Fortunately, he had anticipated the soul damage beforehand and made preparations.

Whoosh!

He directly took out a pill, a Martial Soul Grade pill whose purpose was to provide soul repair.

It was a pill he had specifically exchanged from the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

Now, he took it out and swallowed it directly.

His entire soul immediately began to repair itself under the nourishing medicinal power of the pill.

However, the soul was different from the physical body.

Even though this pill was quite remarkable, it couldn't complete the repair instantly.

It would take some time.

This also made Xiao Shi feel the trouble of a damaged soul for the first time, making him ponder that he might need to find ways to strengthen his soul protection in the future.

Of course, he also knew that once his cultivation reached the Martial Soul Realm, he would be able to delve into the soul, so there was no need to rush too much.

He took out the many treasures he had exchanged from the Myriad Treasure Pagoda this time and began to organize them.

His gains in the Realm this time were immense.

Not only did he obtain the fragment of the celestial compass, but he also exchanged many important treasures from the Myriad Treasure Pagoda, all of which were quite valuable!

These items might not even drop if he killed enemies.

After his soul stabilized under the pill’s repair, Xiao Shi began to ponder his next plan—to form a bloodline and make it his third Natal Martial Blood!

Xiao Shi’s initial plan was to form the Dong Kui Bloodline.

If the Dong Kui Bloodline didn't work, he would consider the Vajra Bloodline.

After all, as the ninth-ranked bloodline among all bloodlines, the Dong Kui Bloodline was Xiao Shi's first choice no matter what.

But now with the bloodline solution, Xiao Shi had greater ambition: bloodline fusion!

He wanted to form a bloodline even more powerful than the Dong Kui Bloodline!

However, before performing bloodline fusion, he needed to conduct a test.

Xiao Shi took out the bloodline manual and turned to the page for the Crimson Tiger Bloodline, ranked thirtieth.

He took a deep breath, and a drop of fresh blood flew from his fingertip, landing on the page that recorded the Crimson Tiger Bloodline.

Buzz!

The page rippled like water, and under Xiao Shi’s close attention, a brand new page quickly formed!

Xiao Shi’s pupils constricted sharply.

This was quite beyond his expectations.

He had thought that the Crimson Tiger Bloodline recorded in the bloodline manual was merely a coincidence in names.

He never expected… it actually was a body-refining bloodline under his own Crimson Tiger system!

“This isn’t right!”

Xiao Shi’s brows furrowed.

If the Crimson Tiger Bloodline truly was a body-refining bloodline under his own system, with his mastery of the Crimson Tiger Totem, he couldn’t possibly not know.

Yet, from beginning to end, he had never received any information about a body-refining bloodline from the Crimson Tiger Totem.

With doubts in his heart, Xiao Shi carefully examined the page that had formed in the bloodline manual.

He believed he would find the answer on this page.

After he finished reading the entire page, Xiao Shi exhaled, finally understanding the reason.

The reason he hadn't received any information about the Crimson Tiger Bloodline from the Crimson Tiger Totem was because the Crimson Tiger Bloodline and the Crimson Tiger Totem were themselves two branches under the Crimson Tiger system.

Before this, Xiao Shi had always thought that the Crimson Tiger Totem was the absolute core of the entire Crimson Tiger system.

In reality, the entire Crimson Tiger system was much larger than he had imagined.

The Crimson Tiger Totem was indeed very important in the Crimson Tiger system, but it was only one of its branches.

The complete Crimson Tiger system actually included another branch—a branch focused on cultivating the physical body!

This made Xiao Shi think of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect behind the Crimson Tiger Lineage, pondering that it would be necessary to inquire more about this force in the future.

He believed that through this force, he could gain more knowledge and understanding of the Crimson Tiger system.

Although the Crimson Tiger Bloodline and the Crimson Tiger Totem were two different branches, they both belonged to the Crimson Tiger system.

Coupled with the information Xiao Shi obtained from the bloodline manual, he had full confidence in being able to form the Crimson Tiger Bloodline.

“In that case…”

“Perhaps I can try the fusion of three bloodlines!”

Xiao Shi’s eyes gleamed.

He continued to turn the bloodline manual to page one hundred and forty-eight, which recorded the Vajra Bloodline.

Through his own blood drop, it transformed into a page recording deeper information.

After checking, he confirmed that he was fully capable of forming the Vajra Bloodline.

After all, he already possessed the Indestructible Vajra Body previously, having a foundation long ago.

Coupled with the series of important materials for forming bloodlines that he had exchanged from the Myriad Treasure Pagoda, he had considerable confidence in being able to form both the Crimson Tiger Bloodline and the Vajra Bloodline.

That day, Xiao Shi began the construction of his bloodlines.

The Dong Kui Bloodline had already been extracted, so there was no need to reconstruct it.

The main task was to construct the Crimson Tiger Bloodline and the Vajra Bloodline.

He had a certain foundation for both of these bloodlines, and with his own conditions and materials, he believed that forming these two bloodlines would not be difficult.

Three days later, a low roar, a tiger's howl, suddenly erupted from within Xiao Shi's body.

He successfully formed the Crimson Tiger Bloodline!

The entire Crimson Tiger Bloodline was contained within his body, causing his entire physical body to directly break through the Qi Martial Realm and step into the Blood Martial Realm.

But Xiao Shi did not stop there.

He didn't even delve deeply into the Crimson Tiger Bloodline, immediately accelerating the formation of the Vajra Bloodline.

Normally, forming two different bloodlines often presented immense difficulty, and not many people could achieve it.

This also involved the body's tolerance.

Typically, the more bloodlines one had in their body, the greater the burden on the body.

Most people's bodies could usually only withstand one bloodline.

However, Xiao Shi was different from ordinary people.

When he successfully cultivated the Vajra Bloodline, although he could feel the burden brought by the two bloodlines to his body, he didn't feel too much pressure.

He began to integrate the Dong Kui Bloodline into his body, making it his third bloodline!

Boom!

With the integration of the Dong Kui Bloodline, Xiao Shi finally felt some pressure.

“As expected of the ninth-ranked bloodline…”

Xiao Shi licked his lips, clearly feeling the power of the Dong Kui Bloodline.

If the pressure brought by the Vajra Bloodline and the Crimson Tiger Bloodline was like being covered in sandbags, then the pressure brought by the Dong Kui Bloodline was like wearing a set of heavy armor.

After initially adapting to the three different bloodlines in his body, Xiao Shi took out the bloodline solution and drank it down, gulping.

Once the liquid with a scorching aura entered his stomach, it immediately transformed into a special power that could promote bloodline fusion.

Under this power, the three bloodlines within Xiao Shi’s body began to fuse on their own.

Since Xiao Shi couldn’t control this fusion, he could only watch and await the final result.

He clearly noticed that during the fusion of the three bloodlines, some bloodline abilities would be eliminated and replaced by the abilities of other bloodlines.

Unable to manipulate or control it, he could only hope that powerful abilities wouldn’t be eliminated in favor of weaker ones… but on second thought, this worry seemed superfluous.

“The fusion brought about by the bloodline solution should only form a stronger bloodline, and no weakening should occur,” Xiao Shi thought to himself.

If it led to weakening… then this bloodline solution wouldn’t be valuable.

However, judging by the exchange value of the bloodline solution, its value was even higher than some Martial Soul Grade items!

Even the Green Treasure Token couldn't be exchanged for it.

Xiao Shi believed that the fusion brought about by the bloodline solution would certainly not disappoint him.

After two consecutive days of fusion, the three bloodlines within Xiao Shi’s body successfully merged into a brand new bloodline!

“Presumably, this is also a unique, never-before-seen First Blood! I wonder if it will surpass the Dong Kui Bloodline in bloodline ranking and advance further?”

With that thought in mind, Xiao Shi didn’t rush to examine the bloodline within his body.

Instead, he first opened the bloodline manual to check the rankings.
