32: Chapter 32 Ten Thousand Demon Body Refining Technique

At this moment, Baili Yunche looked up at the sky.

The setting sun sank, and the horizon was stained with a trace of blood red.

Nightfall was about to descend.

The night in the Sunset Mountain Range was ten times more dangerous than the day; many nocturnal Yao Beasts would come out to forage at this time.

Although with his Foundation Establishment Stage strength he did not fear ordinary Yao Beasts, it would be troublesome if he accidentally disturbed the big guys deep inside.

"I had better find a place to rest first."

Baili Yunche swept his gaze and it landed on a cliff not far away.

There was a naturally formed cave there; the entrance was not large, covered by a few old trees, and its location was hidden.

He walked over and poked his head in to take a look.

Inside the cave, it was about two zhang in radius, the ground was dry, and there was some hay in the corner, looking like the abandoned lair of some Yao Beast.

He bent down and drilled inside, taking out a few Formation Plates from his Storage Pouch to set up at the cave entrance.

After the Formation Plates were activated, a pale white light barrier sealed the cave entrance, which could both isolate the aura and resist the attacks of ordinary Yao Beasts.

This Formation was a first-rank Illusory Mist Formation, possessing the effects of concealment and warning, which Baili Yunche had obtained from the Storage Pouches of that gang of Alchemy Boys back then.

After setting it up properly, Baili Yunche sat cross-legged and took out the Iron Armored Pig blood he had just collected from his Storage Pouch.

The blood was packed in several large wooden barrels, still warm at this moment, faintly glowing with a faint red light, which was the unique blood-qi power of the Yao Beast essence blood.

He stared at the wooden barrels for a moment, then looked up at a spot of ground inside the cave.

There, he had dug a shallow earth pit beforehand, about three chi in radius and one chi deep, with the bottom of the pit covered with a layer of fine sand.

"Ten Thousand Demons Body Refining Technique..."

Baili Yunche softly chanted this name, a look of anticipation flashing through his eyes.

This was a Body Refining Cultivation Technique recorded in the Pure Yang Sword Immortal's Legacy, which refined the Physical Body, bones, Meridians, and flesh by refining various Yao Beast essence blood, thereby continuously evolving.

Cultivated to Major Achievement, it was said that one could withstand Magic Treasures head-on with the Physical Body.

Withstand Magic Treasures head-on.

These four words held a fatal temptation for any immortal cultivator.

As everyone knew, the biggest shortcoming of human immortal cultivators was their Physical Body.

Compared with Yao Beasts, the human Physical Body was too fragile; Yao Beasts could rely on their Physical Bodies to resist Spell attacks head-on, while humans could only rely on Magical Artifacts and shields.

If he could temper the Physical Body to be as tough as a Yao Beast's, he would have one more trump card in battle.

He could even directly use his Physical Body to fight, beating the enemy so they had no power to fight back.

Baili Yunche's heart was moved.

From the very first glance at this Cultivation Technique, his heart was moved.

It was just that...

He lowered his head to look at the jade bottle in his hand, and then remembered the description of the Body Refining process in the Legacy—just a few words, vague and incomplete.

That old scoundrel of a Pure Yang Sword Immortal only said "there is slight pain, just persist," but didn't mention a single word about how painful it actually was.

"An unreliable old man."

Baili Yunche muttered a sentence, but still stood up and walked to the edge of the earth pit.

He opened all the wooden barrels and poured the warm blood inside into the pit.

The blood flowed into the bottom of the pit, slowly gathering, and soon covered a shallow layer, glowing with a faint red light in the dim cave.

Baili Yunche stood by the pit, staring at that pool of blood for a long time.

Was he really going to jump in?

In his heart, he was actually a bit unsure.

The power contained in the Yao Beast essence blood was domineering and violent, and directly integrating it into the Physical Body would make the pain imaginable.

"If you want to become stronger, how can you do so without paying a price."

He took a deep breath, and his eyes turned firm again.

His parents' bloody feud was still waiting for him to avenge; he had no time to hesitate and no qualification to retreat.

Baili Yunche took off his outer garment, revealing his robust upper body.

Then, he closed his eyes and stepped into the blood pool in one stride.

The moment his feet stepped into the blood, a warmth enveloped him.

Immediately after.

Severe pain struck!

"Ah——"

Baili Yunche suddenly opened his eyes wide, an uncontrollable miserable scream bursting from his throat!

Pain!

Bone-piercing and heart-wrenching pain!

That kind of pain was not the pain of swords and blades falling upon him, but the pain erupting from the deepest part of his body!

It felt as if countless red-hot steel needles were piercing into every inch of his skin at the same time, and as if countless ants were gnawing at his bone marrow, hurting him so much that his whole body trembled and his veins bulged!

"Damn it——"

He clenched his teeth tightly, squeezing two words out from between his teeth.

The blood pool boiled at this instant.

That seemingly calm pool of blood suddenly seemed to come alive, surging crazily, turning into countless tiny blood threads that drilled into his body along his pores.

Every single blood thread that drilled in brought a wave of tearing pain, as if his body was being torn open by countless openings.

Baili Yunche's entire body trembled violently, his hands clenched into tight fists, his fingernails deeply embedded into his palms, and fresh blood dripping down along the gaps between his fingers.

His face flushed red, and the veins on his forehead and neck bulged one by one.

"That old scoundrel Pure Yang——"

He gritted his teeth, his voice even trembling, "didn't say... it would be this painful!"

Halfway through his words, another wave of severe pain struck, directly interrupting his voice.

This time, the sensation of pain was even more violent!

He could clearly feel that the Yao Beast essence blood that had drilled into his body was spreading along the Meridians, flowing towards his limbs and bones.

Wherever it passed, his Meridians felt as if they were being flushed by scalding hot molten iron, torn apart, reorganized, torn apart again, and reorganized again!

His bones were also hurting; that kind of pain was as if someone was holding a hammer, bit by bit smashing his skeleton, and then piecing it back together!

"Ah——"

Baili Yunche could no longer hold back, letting out a long roar towards the sky.

His entire body was glowing, a blood-colored light.

Those Yao Beast essence blood that had drilled into his body were all stimulated at this moment, crazily circulating within him, tempering his Meridians, bones, flesh, and internal organs.

A layer of rich blood-colored halo enveloped his entire person, and countless blood threads could be vaguely seen wandering within the halo.

Pain to the extreme.

Pain to numbness.

Pain until his consciousness began to blur.

But Baili Yunche did not fall down.

He gritted his teeth, forcibly enduring it.

Even if his consciousness was blurred, he told himself over and over again in his heart that he could not fall.

If he fell, everything would be gone.

The bloody feud was unavenged, and a powerful enemy was before him; on what grounds could he fall?

On what grounds!

"Ah——"

It was another roar, but in this roar, there was no longer any pain, only crazed Battle Intent!

Time ticked by minute by minute.

He did not know how much time had passed.

The blood in the blood pool gradually became clear, and finally turned into a pool of clear water. All the essence had been completely absorbed by Baili Yunche.

The blood-colored halo slowly dissipated, revealing his figure.

He was drenched in sweat all over, his hair soaked and plastered to his forehead, his complexion extremely pale, his lips completely devoid of color, and his whole person looked as if he had just been fished out of the water.

Baili Yunche slowly opened his eyes.

He lowered his head to look at his own body, then raised his hand and slowly clenched his fist.

Crack! Crack!

His finger joints popped loudly.

An unprecedented sense of power surged from the depths of his body.

That kind of power was different from the fullness of mana; it came from the most fundamental explosive force of the Physical Body.

Muscles, bones, blood—every single part was filled with explosive energy.

"Is this... the Ten Thousand Demons Body Refining Technique?"

He muttered to himself, surprise flashing in his eyes.

Although the cultivation process was so painful that he wanted to die, this effect was truly astonishing.

He stood up and stretched his limbs.

He could clearly feel that his Physical Body had become more than twice as strong as before.

His Meridians had widened, his bones had hardened, his flesh had tightened, and even his internal organs seemed to be draped with a layer of protective film.

Baili Yunche took a deep breath, walked to the cave wall, clenched his fist, and gently punched out.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, a fist print about three inches deep appeared on the stone wall, surrounded by cracks.

And his hand was only slightly red, without a trace of pain.

Baili Yunche looked at that fist print, the light in his eyes growing even brighter.

"Now, I am confident I can punch a Qi Refinement Stage Yao Beast to death with one punch."

His tone was full of confidence.

This punch did not have any mana blessing; it was purely the power of the Physical Body.

If mana was added to it, the power could even double.

This was the charm of Body Refining.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon himself, and he was slightly stunned.

His skin color had changed.

The originally fair skin had now turned into a healthy wheatish color, exuding a faint bronze luster.

"Eh?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Baili Yunche's eyes, and then he looked down again.

At this look, he was dumbfounded.

His little brother had actually grown a size larger!

This was simply an unexpected harvest!

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a weird expression.

"I didn't expect there would be this kind of benefit..."

If he had known there was this effect, let alone being a bit painful, even if it were ten times more painful, he would still have had to Cultivate it!
