Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 656 - 398: Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill
Somewhere within a mountain forest!
Su Jie sat cross-legged on the ground, examining the loot he had gathered from his latest hunt.
A total of twelve cultivators from the Secret Realm, all of their Storage Bags turned out, along with the Spirit Stones provided by their disciples, amounted to more than ten million.
Among them, the hefty contribution came from two figures, Chu Xuexin and Chang Shiyang, the Saint Heir and Holy Daughter; the rest of the cultivators from the Secret Realm had mostly contributed a few hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
This windfall left Su Jie quite satisfied, and as for whether it would provoke retaliation from the Demon Cultivator sects behind them, Su Jie didn't care.
Even if the Demon Sects from Chongzhou suspected that Su Jie was responsible, since their territories did not border each other, they would have to deal with the Righteous sects if they wished to cross into another state.
Moreover, with Su Jie's current strength, unless he faced a powerful enemy from the third level of the Taoist Platform Realm, Su Jie could contend with them. If he faced someone from the third level, if he couldn't defeat them, Su Jie would still have the option to flee.
"Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill, this Cultivation Technique is quite interesting."
Beyond resources, what intrigued Su Jie the most was a cultivation manual.
This was found in Di Xiu's Storage Bag. Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill is the fundamental skill of the Blood Demon Cave, and it was the technique Di Xiu used to gamble with his life by transforming his whole body into blood at the end.
Su Jie held the Jade Scroll, transferred the scriptures and Cultivation Technique inside it into his sea of consciousness, and started to meticulously study and learn.
Similar kinds of Cultivation Techniques weren't the only ones Su Jie had acquired; many Cultivators carried Jade Scrolls with them for regular study and reinforcement.
However, Su Jie did not blindly pursue knowledge. Whether from the Righteous sects or Demon Path, the principle of biting off more than one can chew was universal.
Human energy is limited; trying to learn everything only results in mastering nothing.
Only those skills that suited one's self were the best, like the "Hundred Poison Refining Gu Scripture" that Su Jie studied, which allowed the mastery of poisonous insects; "Enlightenment Returning Ruins Skill" could refine the Primordial Spirit, and "Nine Nether Ghost Cultivation Technique" could command ghosts. In particular, the Hundred Poison Refining Gu Scripture and Nine Nether Ghost Cultivation Technique, which could gain resource support from Blue Star, made cultivation especially convenient and progressed swiftly.
As time passed second by second, the sky cycled through its celestial bodies, and after a full week had lapsed, Su Jie, covered in dust and leaves, slowly opened his eyes.
"Condense blood!"
Su Jie extended a finger, the pores of his fingertip dilated, and a droplet of dark golden blood seeped out from his skin.
The instant the blood touched the soil, instead of penetrating the ground, it acted like a heavy steel bead rolling off, showing no signs of being absorbed by the dirt.
Boom!
The land cracked and collapsed, and at the center of the depression, that droplet of blood emitted a faint red glow, filled with a strange energy—or more accurately, Su Jie's will within it.
As Su Jie willed it, the droplet of blood, as if instilled with life, spread open like an unrolled scroll, transforming into a blood-drenched strange beast nearly ten feet tall.
The beast issued a silent roar, planted its hooves fiercely, and opened its mouth to spew countless sinister blood swords, leaving a hundred meter radius of the forest in shambles, with broken vegetation and gouged earth.
Then another transformation occurred; the beast changed into birds, weapons, chariots, and more. Due to the power of this droplet of blood, the environment itself corroded, the forest twisted and ominous. Nearby animals, sensing this pressure, either fled in panic or, as if frozen by some invisible force, dilated their pupils and lay trembling on the ground, terrified.
It wasn't until about ten seconds later, when the power contained in that droplet of blood was exhausted, that it started to dim and finally merged with the Earth.
"Demon Blood, no, I recall Blood Demon Cave refers to this as Holy Blood."
Su Jie muttered to himself, contemplating the many scenes of transformation caused by the drop of blood, and stroked his chin in thought.
Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill was the highest level of skill inherited from the Blood Demon Cave, originating from an Ancient era and a legacy called the Blood Sea Sect.
In the ancient times, the Blood Sea Sect was most famous for its 'Blood Dripping Rebirth'. Disciples born into this Demon Sect could rapidly regenerate as long as a single droplet of blood remained, earning a reputation as an immortal craft of the ancient world.
This skill was divided into Twelve Levels, cultivating with essence blood as a catalyst, training the body's blood.
Blood is one of the base materials that sustain the human body, as they say, blood belongs to yin and qi to yang; both are interdependent and essential for the body's normal function.
In the process of cultivating Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill, it's necessary to refine Holy Blood, like the droplet Su Jie had just refined using his own blood.
This skill was about cultivating the body's blood, and upon mastery, it could grant all kinds of miraculous abilities to the blood. The demonstration Su Jie just made was one of the applications of the Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill.
Holy Blood is immensely powerful. Legend has it that at the twelve level of Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill, a single droplet of Holy Blood could suppress mountains and seas; one drop could destroy a sacred realm's secret area.
When this skill reached its pinnacle, one could transform into an overwhelming blood sea, capable of engulfing the heavens above and obliterating mountains and rivers below, indestructible for millennia.
Furthermore, during the process of condensing Holy Blood, the physique of the practitioner would gradually be transformed. Since blood is the essence of the body, the refined Holy Blood would continuously strengthen the constitution.
Cultivating Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill meant replacing all the blood in the body with Holy Blood.
Once fully replaced with Holy Blood, the strength of the body could directly counter Magical Treasures, and a typical Flying Sword wouldn't even leave a mark when it hit the body.
Moreover, at that point, one could also perform the Body Transformation Blood Sea technique, transforming into a vast blood sea and devouring all enemies.
The technique Di Xiu had used in his final moments was the Body Transformation Blood Sea, but he hadn't completely mastered it, and only a small portion of his own blood had been turned into Holy Blood. Therefore, the blood sea he had transformed into was actually only a few hundred meters in size, more reminiscent of a Blood Cloud.
