The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Bloody Fiend Body_1

GULP!

Shen Mo swallowed a Grade III Red Sun Pill. As he refined its medicinal power, the vigor of blood and Qi within his body surged dramatically once more! The overflowing power of blood and Qi made his skin, internal organs, and Flesh and Blood throb and pulse...

Immediately, Shen Mo began to circulate the Bloody Dragon-shaped Body. The Bloody Fiend Pearl in his Dantian started to rotate, continuously devouring the overflowing blood and Qi, transforming it into the purest blood essence primality, thereby increasing the strength of his physical body!

Messages on the Destiny Panel also flashed continuously.

[You have swallowed a Red Sun Pill. Its medicinal power is gradually suffusing your entire being.]

[Your internal organs, Flesh and Blood, and meridians are greedily absorbing the streams of pure medicinal power. As you continue to absorb this medicinal power, the strength of your blood and Qi increases.]

[You begin to circulate the Bloody Dragon-shaped Body, gradually converting the surging, overflowing blood and Qi into fuel for your physique, thereby augmenting it.]

[Through one hour of cultivation, your Bloody Dragon-shaped Body has improved. Bloody Dragon-shaped Body experience +1.]

...

[You have swallowed a Blood Ginseng Red Sun Pill. Its medicinal power is frantically surging into your entire being.]

[Your internal organs, Flesh and Blood, and meridians... Bloody Dragon-shaped Body experience +2.]

With Shen Mo’s current wealth, he no longer needed to deliberately hunt other creatures to absorb the origin power left behind after their deaths using the Bloody Fiend Pearl, just to strengthen himself!

Shen Mo had nearly a hundred portions of various Elixirs in his Universe Bag, such as Yang-strengthening Powder, Earth Yuan Pills, Red Sun Pills, and Blood Ginseng Red Sun Pills—all used to consolidate blood and Qi and strengthen the physique.

He regularly needed to consume such Elixirs.

These were used to bolster his blood and Qi and to replenish the blood essence primality consumed after using the Three-headed Six-armed True Immortal Magic and Sacrificial Magic!

The True Immortal Magic was manageable. Unless he was seriously injured, the heads and arms manifested from blood essence primality could revert to their original state and return to his body. The consumption was not excessively large.

However, Sacrificial Magic techniques like the Soul-chasing Extinction Palm, Gecko Divine Skill, and Self-sacrificing Sword consumed an astonishing amount of blood essence primality. Even someone as strong as Shen Mo would be weakened for a period after using these three techniques, requiring him to consume Elixirs that nourished Flesh and Blood and his soul to restore origin power such as Essence and Qi!

After cultivating for some time longer, Shen Mo once again turned his attention to the Destiny Panel.

Shen Mo usually kept track of his other magic and martial arts, so he was well aware of their proficiency levels.

Only the Bloody Dragon-shaped Body showed a change: its proficiency had advanced from Dragon Body (100/100) to Bloody Fiend Body (23/100), and it could be further deepened!

Feeling the ever-increasing power within his physical body, Shen Mo was eager to test it.

He immediately used the Soul Refining Flag to summon the Green-skinned Ghost Tieshan and proceeded to give it a sound thrashing!

Even though Tieshan was a late-stage Class III Demon Soul General with exceptionally tough green skin, its Soul General’s body was beaten until it caved in. Turbid Qi—a mixture of Bloody Demonic Qi, ghostly Qi, and Demonic Qi—continuously spewed from its seven orifices. It was almost beaten to the point of dissipation, nearly being forced to return directly to the Soul Refining Flag!

It couldn’t be helped. Not only was Shen Mo’s physical body formidable, but every punch and kick was also empowered by the Uncommon Victory (Blue) Heaven’s Mandate Blessing. This had an immense suppressive effect on demonic entities like Demon Soul Generals and other such fiends.

Just as he retracted the Green-skinned Ghost Tieshan, the Sound Transmission Conch at his waist chimed with Jiang Lingfeng’s voice.

”Junior Brother Shen, we have reached the sea area calculated by the Supreme Elder. You can come out and search for Hall Master Yuan’s whereabouts with me!”

Shen Mo acknowledged, then called out to Ming Yu before deactivating The Smallest and The Largest Skill.

The Smallest Space was interconnected with the Spiritual Qi of the Outer Realm, so when Shen Mo and Ming Yu returned to the Black Canopy Magic Boat, they felt no discomfort despite the extremely barren nature’s spiritual energy.

However, recovering Mana within the body here was far more arduous than in the Red Flame Country, much less the coastal waters of the Immortal Burial Sea!

Fortunately, this wasn’t a major issue. Shen Mo had enough Elixirs in his Universe Bag to restore his Mana, sufficient for him to cultivate normally for an entire year without relying on the Spiritual Qi of the Outer Realm.

Of course, if he were to engage in intense battles here, the consumption of Elixirs would also increase!

Seeing Shen Mo and Ming Yu emerge, Jiang Lingfeng gestured, drawing a circle in front of her. ”Given the range of our spiritual senses, let’s first search the sea area within a two-hundred-mile radius!”

”Then, we’ll expand outwards, from shallow to deep, aiming to survey the entire sea region within a three-thousand-mile radius within two months.”

”What does Junior Brother Shen think?”

Shen Mo merely smiled, took out the Soul Refining Flag, and gave it a wave. Nearly fifty Class III Demon Soul Generals emerged from the blood-red curtain one after another, causing Jiang Lingfeng’s beautiful eyes to widen in astonishment.

”Senior Sister Jiang, you’ve worked hard for over a month!”

”You should rest well. I’ll have the Demon Soul Generals under my command search for Hall Master Yuan’s whereabouts for us.”

The Demon Soul Generals Shen Mo released were from the first batch of minor Heavenly Demons he had subdued. They had now advanced from early-stage Class II to various levels of early-stage and middle-stage Class III.

To avoid revealing more of his hidden strength, Shen Mo did not materialize the powerful Soul Generals he typically used, such as Master Hong Jue, the Ghost Bride, and the Serpent-Eel Heavenly Demon. The ones he released were all Demon Soul Generals he rarely summoned for combat!

He had nearly fifty more such Demon Soul Generals at the Class III level within the Soul Refining Flag.

The remaining two to three hundred minor Heavenly Demon Soul Generals were still at the peak of Class II, so summoning all of them at this moment wouldn’t be particularly meaningful.

”Hmm...” Jiang Lingfeng murmured, her eyes still wide.

”Junior Brother Shen, you’ve silently subdued so many mutated Heavenly Demons!”

”During the battle for the position, if you had summoned all of them, I wouldn’t have stood a chance against you at all,” Jiang Lingfeng exclaimed, her initial shock giving way to awe.

”Go!” Shen Mo waved the Soul Refining Flag, dispatching the fifty Demon Soul Generals. Only then did he turn back to Jiang Lingfeng and say, ”I do not wish to reveal this banner to the public. The sea area we need to search this time is simply too vast, so I had no choice but to use this item.”

”So please, Senior Sister Jiang, help me keep this a secret!”

He had actually revealed such a well-hidden trump card just to help her complete her task. Jiang Lingfeng was deeply touched by this and hastily swore an oath that she would definitely not disclose what she had seen today to anyone, not even her Master, Zhou Shili.
