Chapter 366: Devouring Souls and Nourishing Spirits
The heavenly palaces and palaces fell on top of him.
The power of heaven and earth burst out, trying to suppress Zhang Yan.
But Zhang Yan's power of annihilation was even more terrifying.
Wherever he passed, everything was destroyed!
Crack!
At the moment of collision, a heavenly palace was shattered, and the invisible power of annihilation was unstoppable!
Crack, crack!
More and more heavenly palaces were destroyed, and the power of heaven and earth was surging, but it could not shake Zhang Yan at all.
Three spiritual swords were shining and pointed directly at Jiang Nian!
Boom!
The power of annihilation was overwhelming, and all the heavenly palaces were submerged and turned into nothingness and dissipated.
And Zhang Yan was as imposing as a rainbow, holding the Qinglong Zhenmu Sword in his hand, piercing through the void and soaring straight up!
"Young Pavilion Master Zhang!"
"Please show mercy!"
Seeing this, Xia Yubing hurriedly shouted.
"Young Pavilion Master Zhang!"
"I admit defeat!"
Jiang Nian also admitted defeat immediately.
Even his trump card couldn't resist the terrifying power of annihilation. If he was a step slower, he would have died without a burial place!
Swish!
When the power of annihilation came, Jiang Nian's Dharma image was like ice and snow melting.
In a breath, Jiang Nian's true body was revealed.
"Brother Jiang!"
The disciples of Qingyun Dao Sect saw this and turned pale.
"Stop!"
The four Dharma Realm peaks were so angry that they released their own Dharma power.
Buzz!
But in the end, Zhang Yan's power of annihilation disappeared, and his magic power was also taken back into his body.
Only the Qinglong Zhenmu Sword in his hand was horizontally placed beside Jiang Nian's neck.
With the sharpness of the fourth-level top-grade magic weapon, even if it didn't touch, a blood line appeared on Jiang Nian's neck.
"Zhang... Young Pavilion Master."
Jiang Nian's face was pale, and even his voice was trembling.
Zhang Yan's sword just now could definitely kill him!
"Young Pavilion Master Zhang."
Xia Yubing came over and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Jiang Nian was fine.
The other four peak Dharma Realm masters also withdrew their Dharma Realm powers.
Afterwards.
Zhang Yan took back the Azure Dragon Shocking Wood Sword.
Crack!
But as soon as it was taken back, a crack appeared on the blade.
"This..."
Everyone's face changed slightly.
It was just a fight, but even the magic weapon was damaged.
"The sword was damaged just now."
"That's why I didn't stop."
Zhang Yan explained.
"So that's it."
"But this sword is Young Pavilion Master Zhang's treasure. I'm afraid I'll..."
Xia Yubing's face was full of apologies.
"It's okay."
"After returning to the sect, I will refine this sword again and transform it into the fifth level."
Zhang Yan shook his head and said.
"I almost forgot."
"Young Pavilion Master Zhang is also a fifth-level weapon refiner."
"Junior Brother, I'm sorry for offending you. Please go into the river first."
Xia Yubing exclaimed and invited Zhang Yan to enter the Chi Chi Blood River.
Zhang Yan nodded and fell into the blood river with Xia Yubing.
On the river bank.
The remaining disciples of Qingyun Dao Sect looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Senior Brother Jiang."
"We will go into the river first."
Several disciples lowered their heads and fell into the blood river.
"How ridiculous!"
Jiang Nian looked at the blood river and his face was livid.
He thought that Zhang Yan's Nascent Soul had fallen from the tenth turn.
He would have a chance to step on Zhang Yan to become famous.
As a result, Zhang Yan's strength was still so evil. He used his trump card, but he was not Zhang Yan's opponent.
In the end, he lost his armor and his Dharma image was destroyed. He was almost beheaded by a sword.
"I must avenge this!"
Jiang Nian thought with a resentful look.
Plop!
Jiang Nian finally fell into the blood river.
Under the blood river.
Zhang Yan occupied the position of Huiwan and sat cross-legged on a rock at the bottom of the river. The blood energy here is the most concentrated.
The water in the blood river is extremely viscous, like magma.
It will soon scrape off a piece of flesh and blood when it washes on the body of the cultivator.
Only by constantly using magic power to resist can you persist. In this process, there will be pure blood energy from the red dragon, which will be integrated into the body of the Tao.
Thus tempering the body of the Tao.
And the blood energy where Zhang Yan is is more concentrated, and the impact is more powerful.
Zhang Yan can only use the power of the Nascent Soul with all his strength to resist this force.
"The effect of this blood energy."
"Several times stronger than the Thunder River."
"If the tempering is completed, my body of the Tao will be comparable to the late stage of the Dharma Realm!"
Gathering the blood energy around, Zhang Yan thought in his heart.
The last time he tempered his body.
It was still in the Golden Core Stage.
This time, he got more benefits from tempering his body.
Boom!
Blood rushed in, making a roar.
Zhang Yan sat cross-legged at the bottom of the river, motionless.
Although he was in the Nascent Soul stage, his body was stronger than Xia Xiyan and others.
The blood he could withstand was also stronger.
Zhang Yan sat with his eyes closed.
In his sea of consciousness, he was thinking about the fight just now.
"The three-color spirit ring withered."
"My magic power also degenerated."
"If it weren't for the magic power I left behind before, I'm afraid I would really capsize today."
Zhang Yan thought to himself.
Jiang Nian was right. Zhang Yan's current combat power was indeed affected by the Nascent Soul.
It was impossible to reverse the late stage of the Dharma Realm.
But Jiang Nian's ambition was too big. Now Zhang Yan could easily suppress the middle stage of the Dharma Realm.
In the end, Zhang Yan did it on purpose.
It was to leave a profound lesson for Jiang Nian.
"Alas!"
"And the Azure Dragon Shocking Wood Sword."
"For this sword, I pushed it to the limit, and the sword broke."
"If you want to use it again, you must transform into the fifth level, otherwise it will definitely collapse."
Zhang Yan sighed in his heart and thought about the Qinglong Zhenmu Sword.
Although he never mentioned it himself.
But who can be willing to let his strength regress?
Being blocked again and again made Zhang Yan a little annoyed.
The only good news.
It means that you can temper your body in this river of blood.
In a blink of an eye.
Just one day passed.
"Um?"
Zhang Yan was swallowing the blood and integrating it into his body, but suddenly he discovered a looming spiritual consciousness.
"Fellow Daoist Xia?"
Zhang Yan looked carefully and found that it was Xia Yubing's spiritual consciousness, so he asked through a message.
"Pavilion Master Zhang Shao."
"I have a heartfelt request."
"I have reached the perfection of the Nascent Soul of the eighth revolution. If I obtain the golden pattern Bodhi, I can achieve the ninth revolution."
"However, in our Qingyun Dao Sect, there has been no ninth-turn Nascent Soul for two thousand years."
"I also know very little about the Nine Transformations Nascent Soul, so I want to feel the aura of Pavilion Master Zhang Shao and understand the mystery of the Nine Transformations."
Xia Yubing spoke across the blood river.
"Fellow Daoist Xia, please do as you please."
"Just don't bother me."
Zhang Yan replied.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master Zhang Shao."
Xia Yubing thanked him happily.
Although Zhang Yan is no longer a tenth-turn Nascent Soul, the ninth-turn Nascent Soul can still stand out from the crowd.
For example, Xia Yubing, the senior sister of Qingyun Dao Sect.
He even had to humble himself and beg Zhang Yan.
Because the golden bodhi is, after all, an external object, and you need to be strong yourself to strike the iron.
In comparison.
Jiang Nian was arrogant and ignored Zhang Yan even before he got the golden bodhi.
"This pair of senior sisters and brothers."
"The difference in character is huge."
Zhang Yan shook his head and said secretly.
Rivers of blood flow and time passes.
Zhang Yan must release his magic power if he wants to resist the blood energy.
The projection of the Nine-Revolution Nascent Soul is right behind him, and Xia Yubing can comprehend it at any time.
"but."
"Xia Yubing recommended me to enter this bay before."
"Plus what she said, maybe she was prepared?"
Zhang Yan thought of another doubt.
From the moment he entered the secret realm, Xia Yubing seemed to know that there was a treasure in this direction.
Then it was even smoother. The blood river was found and the location was arranged for Zhang Yan.
"It seems."
"Qingyun Daozong is not selfless."
"Xia Yubing may have known a long time ago that there is this river of blood here."
Zhang Yan had a guess in his mind, but he didn't explain it.
He is now on the same boat as Qingyun Daozong.
In this way, he can get more benefits.
Anyway, it is the four major immortal sects competing for each other, so the benefits should not be wasted.
Just take it as such.
Help Xia Yubing get some interest.
"This nine-turn Nascent Soul."
"It's really mysterious."
In the river of blood, Xia Yubing sighed in his heart.
Although there is only one turn difference between the ninth turn and the eighth turn.
But this turn is more difficult than turning one to eight.
When she broke through the Nascent Soul, she had exhausted all external objects and was only at the eighth level of perfection.
If only it were simple.
There are only two people in the entire cultivation world.
Besides, Zhang Yan is still above Shen Ning in Yujianmen, so being able to comprehend Zhang Yan's Nascent Soul aura is a great opportunity.
"Junior Brother Jiang."
"It's really disappointing."
Xia Yubing couldn't help but think of Jiang Nian and slowly shook his head.
Boom boom!
There is an undercurrent surging in the blood river, the water is surging, and the blood is rolling endlessly.
There are ten figures in total, but as time goes by, each one has changed.
Wow!
A vortex of blood energy appeared around Zhang Yan.
The whirlpool is ten feet in size, and the blood in it is majestic, many times richer than the other nine places.
The crystal clear river water hit Zhang Yan's body with enough force to shatter a hundred feet of rock, causing a sharp pain.
"Only in this way."
"Only can we go one step further!"
Zhang Yan gritted his teeth and held on.
It was like this when I was in the Lei River, like thousands of needles piercing my body.
At this time, after undergoing the baptism of blood, the flesh and blood in his body exuded a faint blood glow.
The blend of blood and flesh is like a big net, binding the flesh and blood inside, as if it has been tempered thousands of times.
Mana surges through it, becoming smoother and moister.
In addition to blood energy, this blood river also has a trace of spiritual power.
During the flushing process.
The spiritual power also merged into Zhang Yan's Zhoutian veins, supplementing the mana in Nascent Soul.
Zhang Yan kept looking inward, his eyes falling behind Yuanying.
pity.
The withered three-color spiritual ring is still obscure and dull.
"Why don't you just absorb some blood?"
"Are you afraid that others won't know about such a big movement?"
On the other side of the Blood River, Jiang Nian was filled with resentment.
But compared to Zhang Yan's condensed whirlpool, the blood energy here was just a trickle.
"I'm coming too!"
Jiang Nian thought for a while and was unwilling to be overwhelmed by Zhang Yan, so he radiated the power of Dharma and learned from Zhang Yan to condense the vortex.
laugh!
However, as soon as his Dharma power left his body, it was immediately washed away by the river of blood.
boom!
Even Jiang Nian's own body was knocked upside down by the surge of blood.
After a while, Jiang Nian returned to his original position with a disgraced face.
He stretched out his spiritual sense and looked around the blood river.
"Fortunately no one found out."
"That Zhang Yan is only in the late Nascent Soul stage. Why is his Dao body so tough?"
Jiang Nian thought jealously.
But in this river of blood, Zhang Yan is destined to be the most dazzling.
Zhang Yan's vortex fluctuations can be felt from hundreds of feet away.
It's always been like this.
Six days later, Zhang Yan's Dao body was soaked in blood.
However, it is distinct from the surrounding river water, and its body exudes luster, as crystal clear as glass.
It's come to this point.
The river of blood around him was of little use to him.
"It's only been six days."
"Pavilion Master Zhang Shao has been tempered to the extreme."
Xia Yubing took in all this scene and was amazed.
"Lei He has been refining his body for a whole year."
"Although it is extremely painful, it has endless benefits and has left me with a great path."
"Now the body is tempered by the blood river, and you can get twice the result with half the effort."
Although everyone is envious, only Zhang Yan knows the reason.
The Tao body is tempered to the extreme.
But everyone still stayed in the blood river.
Zhang Yan could not stand alone and stayed in the blood river.
Another two days passed.
Buzz!
Zhang Yan suddenly heard a slight sword cry.
"Qinglong Zhenmu Sword?"
Zhang Yan took out the Qinglong Zhenmu Sword.
It was this sword that made the sword sound.
"Why."
"Will it move differently?"
Zhang Yan was confused.
Then, his spiritual consciousness felt that the sword spirit in the Qinglong Zhenmu Sword was emitting a sense of excitement.
Immediately afterwards.
From under the stone where Zhang Yan sat cross-legged, a trace of spiritual power emerged.
Woo!
This ray of divine soul power whined in the river, transforming into a palm-long hornless dragon with red scales all over its body.
"This is……"
"Soul of Red Chi?"
Zhang Yan looked at it for a long time and found that the appearance of this object was very similar to Chi Chi, so he guessed.
This river of blood was formed after Chi Chi's death.
If the power of Qi and blood is left, it is also possible that the power of the soul remains.
That's why Zhang Yan guessed like this.
But why did this divine soul power, hidden in the boundless river of blood, suddenly appear?
Zhang Yan let the Qinglong Zhenmu Sword float in the air on its own.
Buzz!
The Qinglong Zhenmu Sword trembled again, and the soul of the red chi drooped its head and merged into the sword body.
This sword has recognized Zhang Yan as its master.
Zhang Yan could see the changes clearly.
After the soul of Red Chi was integrated into the sword body, it was swallowed by the sword spirit inside.
However, the sword spirit did not swallow everything. After a while, it spit out some remaining scales and let them disappear into the river of blood.
After swallowing the soul of Red Chi, a green light flashed on the sword.
At the same time, the cracks above have been eliminated to some extent.
"Chi Chi has a trace of true dragon blood."
"Although it's not much, it's a real dragon after all."
"The Azure Dragon's spirit is incomplete. It is devouring the soul of Red Chi and nourishing itself!"
Zhang Yan suddenly understood.
In this river of blood, he was just tempering his body.
I never thought that there would be unexpected surprises!
The palm-sized soul of Red Chi is only a small part.
A moment later, another palm-sized soul of a red chi appeared from the river, and was swallowed by the Qinglong Zhenmu Sword.
Zhang Yan had already expected it and just watched without intervening.
But he knows.
This blood river belongs to the treasured land of Qingyun Dao Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Xia."
"You saw it too, right?"
Zhang Yan asked via voice transmission.
"I know."
"Pavilion Master Zhang Shao's spiritual sword was damaged because of my junior brother."
"This Red Chi Blood River can be of great benefit to the Spiritual Sword. There is nothing better."
"Pavilion Master Zhang Shao can just absorb it with peace of mind."
Xia Yubing's voice fell into Zhang Yan's ears.
Because of the battle with Jiang Nian, cracks appeared in the Qinglong Zhenmu Sword.
Now it can be repaired with the soul of Red Chi, which can be regarded as karma.
With Xia Yubing's permission, Zhang Yanxin used the Qinglong Zhenmu Sword to absorb the soul of Chi Chi.
The cracks on the sword were quickly repaired.
However, the changes in the Qinglong Zhenmu Sword are still not over, and the fluctuations in the sword body are increasing towards the fifth level!
