Demon's Diary-Novel

Chapter 1178: Blood River Scripture

He was swallowed by the space fissure opened by Mother Hellish-Insect and dragged into the space turbulence. He was in a drowsy state. He didn’t know how long he had been drifting. He only vaguely remembered that he turned the octopus on his chest into a silver armor to protect his vital points. By relying on the recoverability of Sky Beastkin’s blood and the Sword Maru’s protection, he didn’t get torn into pieces by the space turbulence.

Judging from the current situation, he seemed to have been teleported to a small island.

Although he didn’t know where it was, it was definitely not near the Liang Jie Mountain Range. Judging from the surrounding environment, he should still be in the human realm.

However, as long as he could escape from the pursuit of that Mystic Comprehending State Blood Ancestor, he already felt extremely lucky.

He took out a healing elixir from the Sumeru Ring and consumed it. A warm current flowed in his body. With the effect of Sky Beastkin’s blood essence, the recovery speed of his injuries suddenly accelerated a lot.

After resting for a while, his mental power recovered a bit, and he stood up. He patted the sword pouch on his waist to put away the golden bead left on the nearby ground, then he tapped his forehead, covering the small island with Divine Thought.

The natural aura here was obviously much thinner than that of the Middle Sky Continent, but also because of this, this small island, which was only tens of miles in size, basically had no beastkins. It was a very safe place.

“Eh!“

Liu Ming’s face changed. Beside a rock more than 30 meters away, there was a very familiar looking severed arm lying on the ground.

He recognized at a glance that this arm was exactly that Blood Ancestor’s limb.

Liu Ming immediately understood what was going on.

He vaguely remembered hearing a scream from behind when the space turbulence broke out. Blood Ancestor seemed to be dragged into the space turbulence too. One of his arms happened to be cut off and was transported here with Liu Ming.

To his delight, a dark green gemstone ring was worn on the index finger of that arm. Judging from the faint fluctuations emanating from it, it should be the storage ring of Blood Ancestor.

Liu Ming suppressed the excitement in his heart, strode to the arm of Blood Ancestor, leaned over and took off the storage ring. After examining it carefully, he carefully put it away. Then, he sat cross-legged, consumed an elixir and held one upper grade spirit stone in each hand.

At this moment, the spiritual power in his body was almost exhausted. He must recover some before he could think about other things.

The island was very quiet, so no one disturbed him at all.

It took Liu Ming half a day to recover a little bit of spiritual power, then he couldn’t wait to take out the storage ring of Blood Ancestor.

He thought there would be an enchantment on the storage ring, which would take a lot of work to open it. However, he just used spiritual power to sacrificially refine it slightly, and he found that the vague Divine Thought on it was erased by him easily.

It seemed that Blood Ancestor was either seriously injured and his cultivation base was greatly reduced or he was too far away from here. The power of Divine Thought enchantment had weakened to the point where it was not effective.

Liu Ming scanned the storage ring. After a while, a strange look appeared on his face.

With a wave of his hand, a pile of things was thrown on the ground.

It was a pile of spirit stones of different sizes that were about 8 million. Other than that, there was only one blood-red scripture that looked very old.

He picked up the scripture. With a glance, 3 ancient words could be seen on the tattered cover: Blood River Scripture!

He had never heard of this scripture, but judging from the name, it should be a blood technique codex.

A look of disappointment appeared on Liu Ming’s face. He thought that the storage ring of Blood Ancestor, the powerful Mystic Comprehending State, which would give him a surprise. He didn’t expect that there was only such a thing.

How did he know that Blood Ancestor was imprisoned at the bottom of the blood river for countless years, and he was just released by Mother Hellish-Insect. The elixirs, magic weapon and other things had already been used up by him in these endless years or they were completely destroyed when he tried to break free from the seal. There were only such little spirit stones and a technique codex left now.

Liu Ming sighed. He put the spirit stones into the Sumeru Ring casually, then he found a shaded place to sit cross-legged, and began to read the scripture carefully.

This Blood River Sutra should be the cultivation method of Blood Ancestor. He was still somewhat interested in the powerful cultivation method of the Mystic Comprehending State.

Based on Blood Ancestor’s hatred toward him, if he accidentally encountered him again in the future, he would definitely not let him go.

Before he advanced to the Celestial State, he didn’t expect to be able to fight against the Mystic Comprehending State. He only hoped that he could learn some characteristics of Blood Ancestor’s techniques to have a higher chance to escape from him.

Liu Ming read it word by word, and he quickly finished the Blood River Scripture.

The first half of the scripture was divided into 18 chapters. It recorded the complete cultivation method of the Blood River Scripture from the Spirit Apostle Stage to the Mystic Comprehending State. This kind of cultivation method was somewhat against the law of heaven. From the Spirit Apostle onward, one had to draw the blood of living people. Starting from the Crystallization Period, a large amount of cultivator blood essence was required.

It could be seen from this that Blood Ancestor had stepped on countless corpses to be able to reach the Mystic Comprehending State.

Judging from the descriptions of the techniques and powers recorded in it, it was very powerful.

However, he couldn’t figure out the weakness of these techniques so fast. Liu Ming glanced at it briefly, then he turned to the second half of the scripture.

The second half of the scripture recorded more than a dozen kinds of extremely powerful blood mystic arts. They were so powerful that Liu Ming seemed to be very moved.

However, most of these mystic arts required the Blood River Scripture as the basic, and they were more bloody than the previous techniques. Most of them required the sacrificial refinement of many living creatures, and some even required high rank cultivator’s blood essence as a medium.

Liu Ming couldn’t help shaking his head at this.

But after he finished the entire Blood River Scripture, he did gain something.

At the end of the scripture, he found a mystic art that seemed to be quite useful to him. It was called the Blood Spirit Technique, which could be cultivated without external force and the Blood River Scripture as the prerequisite.

Liu Ming hastily read it carefully. After half a day, he finally understood a little.

According to the records, this Blood Spirit Technique was obviously a forbidden technique. It could instantly enhance physical strength by burning one’s own blood essence. The effect could enhance 30% of one’s strength%.

However, according to the scripture, every time the Blood Spirit Technique was used, it would cause great harm to the body, because this mystic art was burning one’s blood essence. After activating it, one would fall into a weak period for a long time.

Uncontrollable ecstasy appeared on Liu Ming’s face!

His current physical strength had already far surpassed the Real Pellet State physique cultivator of the same level. If he could increase it by another 30%, he might be able to compete with the Celestial State physique cultivator just by relying on physical strength alone.

Although this Blood Spirit Technique had a certain drawback, it was still of great value to him.

In the next few days, Liu Ming meditated quietly on the island. After 7 days, his injuries had been completely healed and his spiritual power had been restored too.

Xie’er, who was seriously injured by Blood Ancestor, also woke up after several days. Liu Ming refined the Blood Ancestor’s arm into pure vitality with the fire of the real pellet and poured it into Xie’er’s body.

The vitality contained in the arm of Mystic Comprehending State was really amazing. Not only did Xie’er’s injuries heal immediately, but her spiritual power was increased by a large amount, almost reaching the Real Pellet State intermediate stage. Liu Ming was speechless while feeling a little gratified.

Now that his spiritual power had been restored, he had no intention of staying on the island any longer.

On this day, he turned into a black light and dashed in a certain direction.

Not long after, he saw a pure blue sea surface. The rippling waves made a rushing sound, giving him a long-lost feeling of refreshment.

As Liu Ming flew toward the distance, he also explored the surroundings with Divine Thought.

The sea here looked extremely calm, and most of the beastkins in the sea had the strength of Spirit Apostle Stage. Even the sea beastkins at the Condensation Period were rare.

Seeing this, Liu Ming couldn’t help guessing secretly that he might have been teleported to a remote place in the Middle Sky Continent.

After flying for almost half a day, Liu Ming’s eyes suddenly flashed, and his figure suddenly stopped in midair.

There was a violent collision of spiritual power on the sea dozens of miles ahead. A dozen cultivators were divided into 2 groups, fighting each other.

Both sides were at the Spirit Apostle Stage. One side was 8 human cultivators. The leader was a Spirit Apostle Stage later stage muscular man in a brocade robe, holding a green long blade magic weapon.

On the other side was a group of alien races with scales on their bodies, the number was 7 people. The highest cultivation level was a burly man in a silver robe who was at the Spirit Apostle Stage perfect stage. He held a silver trident about 3 meters long, fighting against the muscular man in a brocade robe.

Although the upper body of the burly man in a silver robe was in human form, his lower body had turned into a silver fishtail. Every time he flicked his tail, huge waves were created on the surface of the sea, forcing the muscular man in a brocade robe to retreat.

The muscular man in a brocade robe was originally weaker than the opponent. Now he was even at a disadvantage for fighting above the sea. If it weren’t for his powerful magic weapon, he would be dead long ago.

The rest of the alien races also turned into half-human, half-fish forms. They forced back the human cultivators who had the number advantage.

“Sea Creature Clan!”

Liu Ming’s pupils shrank suddenly.

This half-human, half-fish alien race, in his memory, was a fighting form that only the Sea Creature Clan of the Sea Region where Yunchuan Continent was in had.

Could it be that this is the Sea Region?

Liu Ming thought with ecstasy in his heart. In a flash of thought, he made a gesture and suppressed his spiritual pressure to the Condensation Period early stage. He wrapped himself in black air and rushed forward.

After a while, he arrived near the fierce battle sea.

The cultivators of the 2 races noticed Liu Ming’s arrival at this time, and they all backed away at the same time, looking at Liu Ming with vigilance.

At this time, the black air on Liu Ming’s body dissipated, revealing his true face.

When the muscular man in a brocade robe and the human cultivators saw him clearly, they showed joyful looks.

“Condensation Period human!”

The Sea Creature Clan burly man in a silver robe and others were suddenly startled. They all had fearful expressions.

TL: He is back to the Yunchuan Continent? With his current strength, there is basically no opponent who can match him…
