13: Making a fortune with the talent mutation of the Myriad Beasts Dharma Form

Cao Meng slowly pressed one hand onto the blue ice shard, activating the mutated version of the Blood Spirit Sacred Body and the Blood Devouring talent.

Instantly, a blood-red stream of Qi, visible to the naked eye, emerged from Boundless Sea's body, passed through the ice shard, and poured into Cao Meng's body through his palm.

Cao Meng felt the vital Qi and blood throughout his entire body begin to boil.

Inside his Purple Mansion Dantian, the Golden Core and the not-yet-fully-refined dragon tiger golden elixir began to spin rapidly.

In just a moment, Cao Meng was enveloped by a faint mist of bloody light.

Within the bloody light, faint patches of green scales could be seen flipping up on Cao Meng's palm... Then, a phantom image of a two-headed snake demon Dharma Image, covered entirely in green scales, descended. Its majestic Aura made the three Golden Core Realm experts in the distance tremble involuntarily.

Boundless Sea, destiny value - 200.

destiny value + 200.

Boundless Sea, destiny value - 150.

destiny value + 150.

... "Isn't that the Two-Headed Serpent King that was previously imprisoned in the lowest level of the Imperial Prison? How could this be..." Commander Wang's eyes widened dramatically.

The lowest level of the Eastern Depot's Imperial Prison held either demons that plagued regions, great fiends that ran rampant, or super experts who opposed Her Majesty the Empress.

Over the past two or three years, these demons and experts frequently disappeared without a trace.

Boundless Sea's explanation for this was that Her Majesty the Empress had ordered him to secretly execute them.

The three commanders naturally dared not object, but now... "That's right, this Aura, it's unmistakable—it is the Two-Headed Serpent King..."

A moment later, the two-headed serpent vanished, replaced by the phantom image of a colossal Vajra ape... Following that was the Dharma Image phantom of an old man standing proudly against the wind with a sword... After that, came the phantom of a six-tailed azure fox.

And then—

"Ah~" The bone-chilling cold and pain made Cao Meng cry out involuntarily.

The next moment, the Dharma Image phantom of the Profound Glass Serpent King, covered in ice-blue scales, with crimson eyes and nascent legs on its abdomen, descended.

Simultaneously, the ice shards covering Boundless Sea transformed into profound cold Qi and poured into Cao Meng's body.

"The Profound Glass Serpent King!"

"This, how could this happen..."

"Junior Brother!" Just then, Senior Sister Qing Luan, clad in an azure immortal dress, sped over from the distance.

"Greetings, Young Miss!"

The three commanders hastily bowed.

Qing Luan didn't have time to acknowledge them. Her clear eyes were fixed intently on her Junior Brother, who was enveloped in a bloody mist and whose Dharma Image phantom was constantly changing.

"Myriad Beast Dharma Image? How did Junior Brother... manage to achieve that?"

Qing Luan's beautiful eyes were filled with shock.

When did that once gentle and kind Junior Brother become so fierce that he cultivated the legendary Myriad Beast Dharma Image?

Could it be the work of the Blood Spirit Sacred Body?

But when did the Blood Spirit Sacred Body gain the ability to fuse the Bloodlines of myriad beasts and refine the Myriad Beast Dharma Image?

It must be said that this 'Roosterless Sword Saint' truly was a walking treasure trove.

Relying on his position as the Eastern Depot Director, responsible for overseeing the world, this fellow had taken advantage of his role over the years to devour the true blood of experts and exotic beasts.

As a result, this massive accumulation of power has now all benefited Cao Meng.

While devouring and performing the Fusion, Cao Meng's Physical Body was also rapidly strengthening.

At the same time, Cao Meng himself fell into a profound and mysterious dream state. In that dream, Cao Meng saw himself Incarnate as a Flood Dragon, Incarnate as a Vajra War God, and Incarnate as a Profound Cold Flood Dragon, freezing thousands of miles with a single breath of cold Qi...

This lasted for a full half hour.

Cao Meng stopped the devouring process.

Across from him, Boundless Sea slowly collapsed onto the ground.

At this moment, Boundless Sea's abundant vitality had been sucked dry. His originally jet-black hair had turned gray, his face was lined with wrinkles, and he resembled a frail, dying old man. He lay on the ground barely breathing, his pair of cloudy, aged eyes staring venomously at Cao Meng before him.

Looking at Cao Meng, his clothes and hair were covered in a thin layer of deep blue ice crystals.

That was the true blood of the Dragon Elephant Realm Profound Glass Great Demon King that Boundless Sea had not yet fully refined and completed the Fusion with.

Compared to Boundless Sea's struggle, Cao Meng obviously found the refining and Fusion process much smoother. The profound cold Qi was visibly being rapidly absorbed by his body.

At some point, the green scales on Cao Meng's arm had vanished, replaced by a layer of faint, gentle luminescence.

From a distance, his entire person looked like a glowing entity, complemented by his peerless immortal appearance.

Senior Sister Qing Luan couldn't help but stare blankly.

"You Little Beast..."

Suddenly, a furious shout interrupted Qing Luan's reverie.

The collapsed Boundless Sea suddenly erupted, condensing his right hand into a claw and frantically lunging toward Cao Meng's chest.

"Be careful!" Qing Luan was greatly alarmed, but it was already too late to intervene.

*Boom*~ Boundless Sea's famous Blood Condensing Divine Claw slammed heavily into Cao Meng's chest.

The Protective Divine Aura merely trembled slightly.

*Bang*~ Boundless Sea was sent flying backward like a cannonball, wildly spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Vile creature, you court death!"

Qing Luan was furious.

She had been careless and almost allowed this eunuch dog to injure her Junior Brother.

She instantly flashed up, positioned herself above Boundless Sea's airborne body, and viciously kicked downward.

*Boom*~ Boundless Sea smashed heavily onto the ground.

Poor Old Turtle Hai, after being subjected to Cao Meng's Plunder and devouring, his cultivation plummeted from the Dragon Elephant Realm straight down to the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm. His combat power had decreased by more than tenfold.

His sneak attack not only failed to harm his enemy in the slightest but instead left him half-dead from the recoil.

"Cough, cough. Protective Divine Aura, Myriad Beast Dharma Image. Haha, how ridiculous, how utterly ridiculous..." Old Turtle Hai lay on the ground, laughing maniacally.

Protective Divine Aura, Myriad Beast Dharma Image.

This was the Realm he had always pursued by devouring the true blood of exotic beasts and experts to strengthen his Blood Fiend Golden Body.

Originally, if he had been able to completely refine the true blood of the Profound Glass Great Demon King this time, there would have been a slight chance for him to forge the Protective Divine Aura and the Myriad Beast Dharma Image.

He never imagined that he would fail to cultivate it.

Instead, he ended up preparing the wedding dress for this Little Brat.

On the other side, after receiving Boundless Sea's sneak attack, Cao Meng also awoke from the mysterious state.

At this moment, Cao Meng had acquired many more profound things in his mind.

At the same time, his Physical Body had undergone several rounds of strengthening and was filled with power.

Cao Meng even felt that the explosive power of his true essence at the Golden Core Realm probably couldn't compare to the sheer strength of his Physical Body.

"So satisfying... Myriad Beast Dharma Image, Immeasurable Golden Body... I truly struck gold this time."

He impatiently called up his attribute panel for a look.

This Boundless Sea truly was a human-shaped treasure trove.

Furthermore, he incidentally Plundered 600 points of destiny value from Boundless Sea.

He struck it rich.
