The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 1114: Chapter 1098: Blood Shadow Destiny

”Cultivation methods, magic, martial arts, skills, alchemy path proficiency...”

Shen Mo took inventory of the extraordinary traits on his body one by one, and soon, his gaze fell upon the ”Blood Shadow” skill.

This skill originated from the perfected ”Dragon Elephant Blood Fiend Body.” Once the Bloody Fiend Body is cultivated to the state of Extremely Perfection, reaching the realm of Godlike Art, it can be comprehended naturally.

By harnessing the vast Blood Qi, one can manifest a Blood Shadow Separation, which possesses about fifty percent of the main body’s cultivation.

As long as the Blood Qi is sufficient, it can even condense dozens or even hundreds of Blood Shadow Separations.

However, this Blood Shadow Separation has limited means of attacking; it can only weaken the enemy’s strength and maintain its existence by absorbing the enemy’s Bloody Fiend essence, unable to perform other magic or martial arts.

Due to the characteristics of the ”Dragon Elephant Blood Fiend Body” method, those who cultivate it just need to persist in their cultivation, and it is much easier to achieve the realm of Godlike Art compared to other magic and martial arts. Among the disciples of the Bloody Fiend lineage of the Red Flame Sect, many have mastered the ”Blood Shadow” skill!

For them, this skill is relatively easier to comprehend, and its power is decent.

But Shen Mo, having mastered a multitude of powerful magic and skills, found that the ”Blood Shadow” skill not only consumed a large amount of Blood Qi but that the effect of the Separation was far inferior to the Gecko False Body. Even if tens of thousands of Blood Shadow Separations were condensed, they would be of little use.

Therefore, this skill felt rather useless to him, and he rarely used it!

”Tasteless when tasted, a pity when discarded. It’s suitable for verifying the new feature of the Destiny Disc...”

Thinking so, Shen Mo’s mind moved.

In an instant, he sensed his heart and mind as the Destiny Disc surged with radiant golden light, completely enveloping his Dao Body and soul, yet outsiders could not see any of this unusual brilliance.

As the golden light flowed, Shen Mo only felt an immense power erupting from within himself, forcibly severing the connection between him and the ”Blood Shadow” skill. In the span of a brief moment, he felt an incredibly intense pain coming from every inch of flesh and blood, every inch of his soul, as if countless steel needles were penetrating his Soul Body.

Shen Mo’s face turned as pale as paper, and sweat beads seeped from his forehead. The mana within his body seemed to be on the verge of losing control, even he found it difficult to withstand the pain of having this extraordinary trait stripped away.

Fortunately, the intense pain came and went quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the unbearable pain for ordinary people dissipated along with the golden light enveloping his Soul Body, as if the previous sensation was an illusion.

”This is not an illusion!”

Shen Mo clearly sensed that something seemed to have been taken away from him by the golden light originating from the Destiny Disc.

The Destiny Panel suddenly displayed a special Destiny named ”Blood Shadow”...

”Blood Shadow (Green): By consuming Spirit Stones, a corresponding number of Blood Shadow Separations can be condensed to fight enemies.”

Shen Mo attempted to harness Blood Qi but found he could no longer manifest Blood Shadow Separations.

After sacrificing a middle-grade Spirit Stone, a Separation composed of Blood Qi manifested. Judging by its aura fluctuations, its cultivation was still fifty percent of his real body’s, approximately comparable to a cultivator at the Middle Stage of the Wuxiang Realm!

But the Blood Shadow Separation only lasted a single breath before vanishing like a phantom bubble... The mana provided by a single middle-grade Spirit Stone could only sustain its existence for one breath. To maintain its prolonged existence, a large number of Spirit Stones needed to be sacrificed.

Gazing at the ”Blood Shadow” Destiny on the Destiny Disc, Shen Mo fell into deep thought.

Thus and so, it balanced out to having both pros and cons.

The downsides are clear. After transforming the ”Blood Shadow” skill into a special Destiny, he ”lost” this skill’s extraordinary trait from his body entirely and could no longer condense it through his own power. He must first sacrifice Spirit Stones to the Destiny Panel to smoothly condense Blood Shadow Separations. Once lacking Spirit Stones on hand, he cannot employ this technique!

However, there are also numerous advantages. Now he can wear all special Destinies on himself, and in the future, even if he enters areas where the Immortal Path does not flourish, such as the Universe Corpse outside the Heavenly Gateway or similar places like the previous cultivation world’s Cosmic Ruins, he can still use Spirit Stones to condense Blood Shadow Separations.

Moreover, skills that previously could only be enhanced by one’s own cultivation can now be improved in quality by using Destiny Points after transforming into special Destinies!

Reflecting on the transformation of ”Blood Shadow,” Shen Mo thought deeply and realized he temporarily had no use for the function of ”condensing one’s extraordinary traits into special Destinies.”

Cultivation methods and magic can be deduced and cultivated using the ”Martial Performance” Destiny to enhance their rank and proficiency.

The proficiency in the Hundred Arts of Cultivation can indeed be condensed into special Destinies, but doing so means further enhancing relevant proficiency cannot be achieved through conventional methods and must be done by consuming Destiny Points.

Based on his years of experience, he deduced that profficiencies such as elixir, talisman, artifact, and formation, once condensed into special Destinies, are most likely of Gold quality. Only by investing large amounts of Destiny Points would further enhancement be possible. However, Destiny Points are hard to accumulate, and he still needs to enhance the eternity of five Basic Destinies and the immortality of frequently used special Destinies, making it hard to spare many Destiny Points for enhancing the proficiency of elixir, talisman, artifact, and array condensed special Destinies!

Only those skills of lower tier and shallow proficiency are most suited to being condensed into special Destinies...

Ultimately, skill effects only enhance as one’s Realm advances, with other means hard to boost them, but by condensing them into special Destinies, one can strengthen their quality using Destiny Points.

However, this also brings many issues, such as a shortage of Destiny Points and Shen Mo’s reluctance.
