122: Is he the Bloodline God's Chosen One?
Seeing more and more Blood Cultivators pouring out of the blood teleportation Formation, these people rushed in all directions, preparing to create a living hell in the city.
Li Yan summoned sixty-four Golden Body Avatars, encircling the center of Vermillion Bird Avenue.
The sixty-four Golden Body Avatars surrounded the blood teleportation Formation, sealing off all directions and trapping this group of invading blood magic cultivators.
The white Heavenly Ancient Dao Patterns flowing on the Golden Body Avatars gave off an incredibly profound sense of mystery.
This was also the first time Li Yan had used the Heavenly Ancient Dao Patterns in a Spell.
He was not sure what kind of effect it would produce.
But the only thing that was certain was that applying Heavenly Ancient Dao Patterns to Spells would inevitably bring about a qualitative change.
When Li Yan released these Golden Body Avatars, his eyes lit up.
“Heavenly Ancient Dao Patterns can lock in Yang Si Power, greatly slowing down consumption.”
Thinking back to last time, in the dream.
He, Li Yan, needed to consume a large number of Spirit Stones to maintain these sixty-four Golden Body Avatars.
When all the Avatars were activated, Li Yan's Dantian and Qi Sea were almost completely drained.
But this time was different!
With the blessing of Heavenly Ancient Dao Patterns, the speed of Spiritual Qi loss was greatly reduced.
To understand it with modern thinking, Heavenly Ancient Dao Patterns are like adding an energy-gathering ring to a battery, locking in the flowing Spiritual Qi!
Now, even without consuming Spirit Stones, Li Yan could maintain these sixty-four Golden Body Avatars for a while.
Moreover, the Spell improvements brought by Heavenly Ancient Dao Patterns were clearly more than just these.
The specific changes still needed to be tested through battle with Blood Cultivators.
And the rising of these sixty-four Golden Body Avatars also surprised the opposing Su Family Blood Cultivators.
“What kind of Formation is this?”
“Could it be that they knew about our plan and made arrangements here in advance?”
Clearly, the Blood Cultivators mistook Li Yan’s Golden Body Avatars for a fixed Formation.
They regarded the Golden Body Avatars as a barrier, a crude trick arranged in advance.
Elder Su, Su Xuanming.
He snorted coldly, “Niece, you have good methods. I didn’t expect you to anticipate our actions.”
Su Mo, floating in mid-air, was also extremely shocked.
She didn’t know where these Golden Body Avatars came from, or whose method they were?
How terrifying was the Spiritual Qi required to maintain such a massive Golden Body Avatar?
Following the shadows connected to these Golden Body Avatars, Su Mo looked at Li Yan, who was standing in the crowd, holding the blood glass treasure lotus lantern.
“It’s him?”
Su Mo’s eyes trembled. She didn’t expect Li Yan, whose strength was only at the Golden Core Stage, to be able to maintain sixty-four Golden Body Avatars!?
Not only Su Mo noticed Li Yan, but also Elder Su, Su Xuanming, of the Su Family Blood Cultivators, set his sights on him.
“This young man… is a bit strange.”
“Su Family Disciples, take down that brat for me!”
In the eyes of the Blood Cultivators, Li Yan, a mere Golden Core Stage brat, was not worth worrying about!
Those Blood Core Realm and Blood Cocoon Realm Cultivators all launched an assault in the direction of Li Yan.
They tried to break through the Golden Body Avatars and create a gap!
However, after the Golden Body Avatars were enhanced with Heavenly Ancient Dao Patterns, their solidity was actually able to block Blood Cocoon Realm Cultivators.
Seeing that they couldn’t break through the Golden Body Avatars, the opponents began to entertain crooked ideas.
Seeing this, Su Mo shouted, “All Disciples, heed my command! Quickly assist that Fellow Daoist!”
Just as Su Mo wanted to move, Elder Su, Su Xuanming, grinned coldly, “Niece, your opponent is me!”
“That little brat is not for you to worry about. First, worry about yourself!”
A blood mist rose before Su Mo, blocking her path.
She wanted to lead her Disciples to help Li Yan, but she was separated by the blood mist.
This was bad.
Li Yan only had the strength of the Golden Core Stage; how could he be a match for those Blood Cultivators?
But what was the real situation?
Only Li Yan understood.
If Li Yan didn’t have confidence, he wouldn’t have made a move.
Although Cloud City was besieged, he had to make a move whether he wanted to or not.
But the fact that he dared to stand out so openly certainly had his reasons.
And that was — side effect conversion!
When the Blood Cultivators attacked, they raised their hands from a distance and struck Li Yan with a palm!
The [Bloodline Contamination] they unleashed, once ordinary Cultivators were exposed to it, they would have to consume Spiritual Qi to resist it, preventing the Bloodline from entering their bodies.
But for Li Yan?
The attacks unleashed by the opponents… were all great tonics!
Blood mist passed through the gaps of the Golden Body Avatars, assailing Li Yan.
It seemed as if the blood mist was leaking through, but in reality, Li Yan deliberately allowed that blood mist to flow out.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Li Yan was surrounded by blood mist, and the Bloodline poison was eroding his Physical Body.
His brows were tightly furrowed, and his entire demeanor was tense.
To outsiders, Li Yan was using his Spiritual Qi to resist the Bloodline poison.
But in reality?
Li Yan was actually concentrating fully, accelerating the absorption of these Bloodline, using the Bloodline to convert Spiritual Qi to replenish his Dantian.
【The host is frantically absorbing Bloodline poison.】
【Side effects are being converted to positive, restoring Spiritual Qi.】
【The host is guiding the Bloodline poison into the Dantian, beginning to increase cultivation.】
At this moment, Li Yan’s cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds.
But in the eyes of outsiders, his serious demeanor was easily misunderstood.
Separated by a Golden Body Avatar, the Blood Cultivators on the other side saw Li Yan’s expression and immediately burst into laughter.
“This kid has some strength.”
“Look at his expression, he’s still struggling desperately.”
“It’s clear he’s using all his Spiritual Qi to resist, but it’s futile in the end.”
“A mere Golden Core Stage, let’s see how long you can last!”
The hundreds of blood magic cultivators continuously transmitted Bloodline poison through the gaps of the Golden Body Avatars.
They tried to disintegrate Li Yan’s Physical Body, turning him into dust on the spot.
Seeing Li Yan surrounded, Su Mo felt inexplicably anxious.
She didn’t know why, but she had a strong instinct to return to her master’s side and protect her master!
The Corpse Puppet Contract deep within her made her unable to calm down.
Su Mo didn’t understand.
She and Li Yan had only ‘met once’, but for some reason, she cared deeply about that young man.
She tried to rush out to rescue Li Yan several times despite the danger, but was forced back by the blood mist.
However, an incense stick’s worth of time had passed, and Li Yan not only hadn’t been defeated but was even stubbornly resisting.
This made the anxious Su Mo slowly regain her composure.
“Hmm?”
“Something’s not right?”
She saw Li Yan, who was single-handedly resisting hundreds of Blood Cultivators, with his cultivation rapidly increasing.
From Golden Core Stage sixth level, seventh level, eighth level…
He was Breakthrough layer after layer at an exaggerated speed visible to the naked eye.
“This kid seems to be absorbing our Bloodline poison?”
This scene attracted the attention of the Blood Cultivators.
This also made Elder Su, Su Xuanming, who was in charge of commanding, notice Li Yan’s situation.
“Extreme Breakthrough?”
“This kid… could he be a Bloodline Chosen, a natural talent for Blood Cultivators?”
Su Xuanming showed an expression of ecstasy and shouted, “Don’t stop, increase the contamination!”
“He’s absorbing the Bloodline poison; this kid will soon be converted into one of us!”
At this moment, Su Xuanming regarded Li Yan as a prime candidate, the Bloodline Chosen in his heart.
