222: Three forms of blood

The bloodline manual records all body-refining bloodlines in the world; as long as a body-refining bloodline has appeared between heaven and earth, it will be recorded within.

And if a new body-refining bloodline is born, the bloodline manual will record it in the manual at the first possible moment.

Xiao Shi believed that the new bloodline he had now fused and formed must have already appeared in the bloodline manual.

He was very much looking forward to the ranking of his new bloodline.

“According to the characteristic of bloodline solution that it only strengthens and does not weaken, the ranking of the new bloodline will likely be above the Dong Kui Bloodline.”

“I just don’t know… what rank it will be?”

Xiao Shi’s gaze first focused on the Dong Kui Bloodline.

With a glance, he saw that the Dong Kui Bloodline, originally ranked ninth, had now fallen to tenth!

This was as he had expected.

The new bloodline’s ranking surpassed the Dong Kui Bloodline, causing the Dong Kui Bloodline’s ranking to drop by one.

Xiao Shi looked up from the tenth rank, quickly skipping over the ninth and eighth ranks.

He arrived at the seventh rank, then saw the sixth rank, but neither was it!

Xiao Shi’s heart pounded.

The ranking of the new bloodline… was much higher than he had imagined!

One must know that these top ten ranked bloodlines were all unique, unable to be inherited by descendants, one of a kind in the world, and all had long since become extinct!

They already belonged to legend.

But now… the new bloodline after Xiao Shi’s fusion actually surpassed these legendary powerful bloodlines.

He continued to look up.

Not the fifth rank.

Not the fourth rank either.

The third rank… still not it!

“Hiss…”

Xiao Shi took a sharp breath, his heart racing, adrenaline surging.

He had never expected the new bloodline to rank within the top three!

This completely exceeded his expectations.

Although he had thought the fused bloodline’s strength would surpass the Dong Kui Bloodline, he hadn’t expected it to reach the top three!

And when he looked at the third-ranked bloodline, he found that it was none other than… the Years Bloodline!

This powerful bloodline, which could continuously grow stronger with the passage of time and had no upper limit, had now fallen to third place!

And the second-ranked bloodline was clearly… the Kuihu Vajra Bloodline!

“It actually reached second place! Second only to the Martial Emperor Bloodline, which is ranked first!”

Xiao Shi was very shocked by this result.

The amplification from the bloodline fusion far exceeded his expectations, reaching second place directly!

He impatiently went to feel the bloodline within his body.

Only then did he realize… his body was silently transforming under the influence of the bloodline!

Xiao Shi had already known that once he possessed the Dong Kui Bloodline, his body would gradually transform into a powerful Kui Body under its influence.

Now, with the bloodline fusion, this characteristic of the Dong Kui Bloodline was clearly retained and strengthened.

Xiao Shi could clearly feel that every bone, every drop of blood, every piece of flesh, every tendon, every cell in his body… was continuously strengthening during the transformation process.

The level was higher, like a sublimation of life.

Waves of powerful physical strength permeated all parts of his body.

However, this kind of physical transformation usually required some time to complete, and could not be done in a short period.

Although the transformation had just begun, Xiao Shi could clearly feel that the enhancement brought by this transformation was extremely terrifying.

Once the entire transformation was complete, his body would ascend to another level of height.

At that time, it would not only be an increase in strength, defense, and speed, but also in self-healing, resistance, and life intensity, all of which would rise to another level.

It might even exhibit the physical immortality possessed by the Kui Body!

Xiao Shi was very much looking forward to this.

The physical transformation was merely the first change brought by this bloodline.

In addition to this, Xiao Shi also clearly felt that this bloodline simultaneously brought him three different combat forms.

The original Dong Kui Bloodline could activate a powerful combat form in the Blood Martial Realm.

Now, with the fusion of bloodlines, three different combat forms had been created.

To verify these three combat forms, Xiao Shi specifically came to an uninhabited area in the suburbs.

Here, he attempted the three combat forms.

Buzz!

He first entered the first form.

His entire pupils instantly turned silver-white, and a silver-white cross mark appeared on his forehead.

His body expanded, reaching a height of five meters.

It was clear that the first form originated from the Dong Kui Bloodline.

It was exactly the same as the combat form Xiao Shi had unleashed in the Realm back then.

“It feels like this is a form without full power activated.”

“If I were to go all out…”

Xiao Shi’s mind stirred.

Hiss!

His entire massive body rapidly shrank as if deflating, directly reducing from five meters to two meters.

Although his stature had shrunk, the strength of his entire being experienced an immense surge.

It was as if his entire body had undergone extreme compression, not only in physical size but also in the power within his body.

When Xiao Shi tried to throw a punch forward, boom!!

Like a cannon firing, the air was blasted by this punch, creating a tidal wave of air that spread and impacted in all directions.

The plants caught in its path were instantly torn to shreds, and the ground was covered in a web of cracks.

Even Xiao Shi himself was shocked by the power of this punch.

He had merely thrown a casual punch, not unleashing his full power.

If he were to go all out, combined with the Grip of Mutual Shattering… this would undoubtedly be even more powerful than when he used the Grip of Mutual Shattering with the corpse of a dong kui clansman in the Realm!

“This is a form for offense and killing!”

Xiao Shi suddenly understood.

In this form, his strength and destructive power would reach a peak for the current stage.

However, the consumption of physical energy would also be much greater than in his normal state.

“Next is the second form.”

Xiao Shi placed his index finger on his glabella.

Sizzle!

His body instantly changed from silver to crimson, as if it had caught fire.

His entire figure became slender and well-proportioned.

This was clearly the form under the Red Tiger Bloodline.

“What this form brings is speed!”

Whoosh!

A flash of crimson light, and Xiao Shi’s figure had already appeared hundreds of meters away.

His overall speed had reached an incredibly astonishing level.

If he were to sprint at full speed, no one in the Blood Martial Realm would be able to keep up with him.

Even when facing the Martial Soul Realm, he was confident that he would not fall behind in terms of speed.

If combined with the crimson tiger formed by the Forbidden Array… his speed could be greatly amplified once again!

When Xiao Shi once again placed his index finger on his glabella, he entered the third form.

Dazzling golden light radiated from Xiao Shi’s body; his body turned golden, as if cast from metal, and at the same time, his entire physique returned to a towering five meters.

Boom!

When his feet stomped on the ground, the entire earth trembled violently, as if unable to bear his weight.

His entire body became as hard as iron!

Xiao Shi joined his fingers like a sword, and a three-inch sword qi spewed from his fingertip.

He jabbed it fiercely at his body.

Clang!

The sword qi sparked upon touching his golden skin, unable to break through his own golden skin despite its sharpness.

Clearly, the third form — the Jingang Form — brought powerful physical defense and astonishing body weight!

If he were to use Tremor Origin Step in this form, its power would undoubtedly reach a terrifying level!

After all, the power of Tremor Origin Step primarily came from vibrations.

The heavier the body, the greater the vibrations it caused.

Especially since Xiao Shi could further increase his own weight through the immense pressure of the Martial Emperor Shoulder Armor!

“Any one of these three forms can bring me a huge enhancement.”

“But what’s truly powerful is that I can seamlessly switch between these three forms!”

Xiao Shi stood in place, constantly switching forms.

His figure changed accordingly, sometimes slender, sometimes massive.

After all, his body size was not the same in different forms.

And there was no cost or interval for switching between these three forms; he could switch at any time.

This meant that as long as he continuously switched forms in battle, he could basically possess the enhancements of all three forms simultaneously.

When he needed to attack and kill, he would fight in the Dong Kui Form.

When the enemy’s attack arrived, he would immediately switch to the Jingang Form to defend.

When he needed to strike quickly or flee with speed, he would switch to the Crimson Tiger Form.

Of course, he still needed to practice the combined combat of these three forms.

As long as he could coordinate them, his combat power would be greatly enhanced.

Besides these three forms, the Kuihu Vajra Bloodline would also bring more ability enhancements as his Realm improved.

Whether it was the Dong Kui Bloodline or the Red Tiger Bloodline, almost at every Realm, there would be changes and enhancements.

And the higher the Realm, the greater the enhancement!

For example, these three forms are only the abilities of the Kuihu Vajra Bloodline in the Blood Martial Realm.

Upon reaching the Martial Soul Realm, the Kuihu Vajra Bloodline would possess even more powerful abilities.

Previously, Xiao Shi had also learned through the bloodline manual that both the Dong Kui Bloodline and the Red Tiger Bloodline only began to show their prowess after reaching the Middle Three Realms.

During the Blood Martial Realm, they were not particularly powerful.

Only the Vajra Bloodline was relatively strong during the Blood Martial Realm.

However, the growth potential of the Vajra Bloodline was far inferior to that of the Dong Kui Bloodline and the Red Tiger Bloodline.

This also made Xiao Shi realize that what he was currently displaying was merely the tip of the iceberg of the Kuihu Vajra Bloodline.

This bloodline, capable of ranking second among all bloodlines, was far more formidable than that.

However, Xiao Shi needed to continuously improve his strength and cultivation to unlock the subsequent powerful abilities of the Kuihu Vajra Bloodline.

Now that the Kuihu Vajra Bloodline had formed, Xiao Shi also transformed this bloodline into his third Natal Martial Blood!

He thus directly reached the Three-Blood Realm of the Blood Martial Realm!

His first Natal Martial Blood was formed from the Crimson Tiger Blood Source.

His second Natal Martial Blood was formed by using the Secret refining method of the Demonic Path forces to make Yin Flame his Natal Martial Blood.

His third Natal Martial Blood was the current Kuihu Vajra Bloodline.

These three Natal Martial Bloods… were all formed by him expending a great deal of effort and energy.

Each Natal Martial Blood was not something an ordinary person could obtain.

He believed that within this Star Luo Territory, there was certainly no one who could compare to him in terms of Natal Martial Blood.

Also, upon reaching Three-Blood, he knew that he had no rivals in the Blood Martial Realm.

He could even contend with weaker Martial Soul Realm cultivators!

“Next, I can prepare for the Impact of the Martial Soul Realm,” Xiao Shi thought to himself.

Typically, upon reaching Three-Blood, one could attempt to break through to the Martial Soul Realm.

However, Xiao Shi currently had no clear direction for his breakthrough to the Martial Soul Realm.

There was also no relevant information about the Martial Soul Realm from the Crimson Tiger Totem.

For this, Xiao Shi planned to return to Rapid Shadow Palace.

He would inquire and learn from Rapid Shadow Palace.

Although his cultivation system was different from Rapid Shadow Palace, he felt that the breakthrough methods of Rapid Shadow Palace might offer some inspiration.

Moreover, he had been out for so long, it was time to go back.

Since he had settled the Red Tiger Sect in Rapid Shadow Palace, he still didn’t know their situation.

If possible, he intended to do his best to assist the disciples of the Red Tiger Sect in strengthening themselves upon his return, further enhancing the overall strength of the Red Tiger Sect.

As the ancestor of the Red Tiger Sect, he had the responsibility and obligation to improve the Red Tiger Sect.

It would be best if the Red Tiger Sect could become independent in Tian Dou Province as soon as possible, without having to rely on Rapid Shadow Palace anymore.

That day, after informing Liang Su, Xiao Shi set off towards Rapid Shadow Palace… Meanwhile, a meeting was being held in Rapid Shadow Palace.

The Palace Lord of Shadow Flash Palace had spent most of his time in seclusion these past years.

However, the series of turbulences caused by the reappearance of Tianji Hall forced him to come out of seclusion early; he had been stationed in Rapid Shadow Palace with trepidation during this period, preventing Rapid Shadow Palace from being invaded by those foreign powerhouses.

At this meeting, in addition to the Palace Lord of Shadow Flash Palace, there were also the five elders stationed in Five Shadow City.

“We just received news that the Hall Master of Tianji Hall has left Tian Dou Province and Tianluo Territory…” the Palace Lord of Shadow Flash Palace said in a deep voice.

As soon as he spoke, the other five elders all breathed a sigh of relief.

During this time, all of them had been in a state of fear, afraid that some foreign powerhouses would come to target their Rapid Shadow Palace.

Fortunately, as a first-tier force in Tian Dou Province, their Rapid Shadow Palace possessed a certain foundation, and with the Star Luo Territory Lord as their backing, no powerhouses had made a move against them.

However, the affiliated forces they once governed, such as Zhongjiu City, had basically all fallen.

Afterward, the entire situation in Tian Dou Province would also undergo some changes.

“Finally gone!”

“If this Hall Master of Tianji Hall were to stay in our Tian Dou Province for a long time, our entire Tian Dou Province would collapse!”

“In this short period, our entire Tian Dou Province has already seen astonishing casualties, and various forces have suffered heavy losses.”

“This time can be called a disaster for our entire Tian Dou Province!”

The five elders sighed with emotion.

Before these powerhouses arrived, they were all powerful figures within Tian Dou Province, basically standing at the pinnacle of Tian Dou Province.

Aside from faction leaders like the Palace Lord of Shadow Flash Palace, there were almost no people stronger than them.

However, after these foreign powerhouses arrived, they clearly felt their own weakness, only daring to huddle in Five Shadow City, not daring to go out at all.

Thump, thump, thump!

The Palace Lord of Shadow Flash Palace tapped on the table, his expression grave, showing no joy or relaxation.

“You are celebrating a bit too early; the crisis… is not over,” he said in a deep voice.
