85: Chapter 85 Refining the Blood Pill, Borrowing Your Bodies

"Clearly just a lowly blood-food... but why does this Demonic Power make my heart tremble so?"

"Who exactly are you?" the dark shadow asked, stepping through the void towards that figure.

It was not just the dark shadow that was curious; even the countless cultivators present looked towards this figure.

"Who is this person... could they be here to save us?"

High above in the firmament, Chu Chen gazed down indifferently, not answering the dark shadow.

Seeing this, the dark shadow said in a furious voice: "You blood-food, get down here right now! I, this demon, demand to know what is going on with that monstrous Demonic Power on your body."

"Are you speaking to me?" Chu Chen tilted his head slightly, staring directly at the dark shadow.

In an instant, the dark shadow felt as if it were staring directly at a Demon God standing above the heavens, feeling as tiny as an ant before it.

This was pressure from the soul. "This... this Demonic Power aura, why do I feel it is even stronger than Lord Yuan Xi?" The dark shadow felt moved in its heart.

"Boom."

The next instant, a terrifying pressure distorted the space and descended upon the dark shadow.

"Ah!!" A painful groan escaped the dark shadow, and its entire body was instantly suppressed to the ground.

Even the black tentacles surrounding the dark shadow were annihilated and dissipated.

The dark shadow said in disbelief: "This... impossible!! We are both at the Ninth Level of the Immortal Platform Realm, and furthermore, I am of the incomparably noble Demon Race, how could I be suppressed by you, a blood-food?"

Chu Chen looked down, like a living Demon God.

The next instant, Chu Chen's figure appeared before the dark shadow. "The demonic energy is not bad, but the strength is a bit lacking."

"However, I am quite curious about what kind of creature this Demon Race you speak of is."

"Low-end blood-food, do you really think you are worthy of knowing about the Demon Race?" the dark shadow said disdainfully.

However, the next moment, Thunder Extreme Intent shot out from between Chu Chen's brows, instantly entering the dark shadow's body.

"No matter, if you will not speak, I shall just search your soul." Chu Chen's lips parted slightly.

"Ah!!! Low-end blood-food, you dare to use soul-searching on me?"

"Lord Yuan Xi will not let you go, will not let you go!" the dark shadow shrieked.

Immediately, Chu Chen slowly closed his eyes; he wanted to see what this so-called Demon Race really was.

At this moment, the countless cultivators present witnessed this scene and rejoiced: "Great, we are finally saved."

"It is just that I do not know what this fellow Daoist's name is; I must properly thank him."

"Exactly, exactly. If it were not for him, we would have all become rations for this great demon."

"Phew!! It is a good thing this fellow Daoist appeared in time."

However, at this moment, a different voice came from within the crowd.

"Why do I feel that this person is not a good person either? Look at when he appeared, his monstrous demonic energy was pervasive; could he also be a great demon?"

Once these words were spoken, the scene suddenly fell silent.

"I think so too. If that is really the case, we are truly going to perish here."

"Why do we not take advantage of the fact that he is using the soul-searching technique on that great demon, and we quietly kill him." A cultivator present immediately responded.

"This... I am afraid that is not appropriate!! Did he not just save us?" a female cultivator said.

"Swish." The next moment, several figures had already rushed out from the crowd, attacking towards Chu Chen.

"I want to get out alive. Whether he is a good person or a demonic cultivator, I cannot fall into that desperate situation again."

These people rushed towards Chu Chen with sharp killing intent.

However, just as these figures stepped within ten zhang of Chu Chen.

A sword light flashed, and these cultivators were cut in half at the waist.

Xiao Hei's figure appeared. "Those who approach within ten zhang of the Young Master, die!!"

Not only that, a dragon's roar resounded through the sky, and instantly a dragon hundreds of zhang long circled in the firmament.

"Those who approach my master, die!!"

Seeing this, the cultivators were in an uproar. "Run!!" someone in the crowd shouted.

Immediately, tens of thousands of cultivators scattered in all directions.

However, long before Chu Chen arrived, the ten thousand soul banner had already shrouded this area.

"This... why is there still a barrier!"

A cultivator immediately discovered it and said in surprise, immediately manipulating the magical treasure in his hand, wanting to shatter the ten thousand soul banner barrier.

However, no matter how these cultivators unleashed their magical treasures, they could not break the barrier set up by the ten thousand soul banner.

"Truly, just escaped the wolf's mouth, only to enter the tiger's den."

"Ancestor, when will you come to save your great-great-grandson? I am going to die here." A cultivator in white discarded the treasure in his hand, sat on the ground, and cried out.

Other cultivators saw this and could not help but shake their heads: "This is clearly a flower raised in a greenhouse; now that death is imminent, it is one thing not to look for a way out, but to actually start crying in public."

At this moment, Chu Chen slowly opened his eyes, and the dark shadow before him dissipated with a boom, turning into wisps of demonic energy, which were absorbed into Chu Chen's body.

Now he finally knew what the Demon Race the dark shadow spoke of was.

Unexpectedly, this Demon Race did not belong to the Nine Provinces, and this dark shadow was named Guteya.

The Demon Race was an extremely bloodthirsty race from beyond the extraterrestrial starry sky, constantly invading other races to seize their resources.

And this Guteya was one of the seven Demon Race emissaries who came to invade the lands of the Nine Provinces this time.

According to the memories in Guteya's mind, the Yuan Xi he spoke of was the leader of these seven Demon Race emissaries!

However, their luck seemed to be not very good; they were discovered by the Human Race Great Emperor as soon as they arrived in the Nine Provinces.

In Guteya's memory, he was the unluckiest one, the first to be sealed by the Human Race Great Emperor.

He did not see any of the subsequent battles.

However, what surprised Chu Chen was that Shi Yu had actually appeared at Qingxuan Holy Land as well.

If he had not appeared, Shi Yu would probably have already been devoured by Guteya.

Now Chu Chen was only a sliver away from the Saint Realm, and after devouring Guteya, not only had his Demonic Power increased.

Even his cultivation realm had loosened a bit, needing only one final opportunity.

Sacrificing all the cultivators within the Qingxuan Holy Land, and combining it with Su Jiuer's Purple Cloud Saint Body to refine the Blood Pill, would allow him to break through to the Saint Realm in one go.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen's eyes swept across everyone present.

His figure instantly arrived above the ten thousand soul banner, and one formation rune after another manifested from Chu Chen's hands and fell.

In an instant, these formation runes intertwined and fused, forming a complex and massive pattern.

Countless streams of blood-colored energy gathered from all directions, like ferocious giant dragons, circling and dancing around the ten thousand soul banner.

In the blink of an eye, a massive Blood Refining Array had already taken shape.

This Blood Refining Array was something Chu Chen had discovered in Guteya's memories.

The main function of the ten thousand soul banner was to devour and nurture the source; if one wanted to refine a Blood Pill, this Blood Refining Array was a much better choice.

"Chu Long, Xiao Hei, withdraw!!" Chu Chen said.

"Yes!!" Hearing Chu Chen's command, Chu Long and Xiao Hei immediately turned into black light and returned to the Small World of the ten thousand soul banner.

Subsequently, Chu Chen's voice shook the heavens: "Borrowing your bodies for use; I, Chu Chen, will never let your sacrifice go to waste, and I will surely walk on a higher path."

"Blood Refining Array, rise!!"

"Refine the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth, seize the bones, devour the flesh and blood, and refine the Supreme Blood Pill!!"
