Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158

Faced with the astonishing Power of Creation contained within the purple blood, Li Yi did not hesitate to use it to cleanse his entire body, even going so far as to shed the Bloodline Power within his body.

After all, whether it was the Golden Dragon or the Thunder God, neither could compare in strength to this entity. If he could inherit the bloodline of this being, then he would gladly not be One God.

However, strictly speaking, the blood of a creature of this level could no longer be called blood, but rather an incomparably pure energy. This energy contained not only astonishing Life Force but also the Power of Creation and endless Spiritual Energy, a mixture of various powers.

As the purple blood washed over him, Li Yi’s entire body flowed with purple Divine Light.

In just a moment, not only did his body return to its peak state, but all 150 of his acupoints were filled, and as time passed by.

The first to be eliminated was the bloodline of the Golden Dragon. This golden blood was quickly washed away by the purple Divine Light, as if it had never existed.

However, the bloodline of the Thunder God, perhaps because it was deeply entrenched within the bone marrow, did not completely vanish under the continuous cleansing. Instead, it absorbed the purple Divine Light and gradually fused with it.

Lightning coiled around Li Yi’s physical body, but at this moment, the lightning was no longer silver but purple, its power even more terrifying, as if it could pierce through time and space and strike deep into the enemy’s soul.

With just a single strike, he could slay a Heavenly Soldier.

It was evident that his strength was increasing.

"The Mana Flower is blooming." At this moment, Li Yi felt that the second Tao Flower above his head, representing mana, was beginning to bloom.

The first petal appeared, and, in a short while, the second petal appeared...

The number of his 150 acupoints did not change, but his mana was becoming stronger. This meant that his mana was now purer than before, a transformation Li Yi dared not imagine.

At this moment, he had a strong sense that a century of arduous cultivation was not as good as one day of fortuitous encounter.

The painstaking cultivation and life-and-death experiences of the past now felt like nonsense.

It was like someone working hard for thirty years, saving up a sum of money, only for some lazy person to have a pie fall from the sky and win a lottery, achieving life’s Perfection.

Yet Li Yi did not see any problem with this. In the past, didn’t his brothers in the Four Seas and Eight Continents also benefit from his light, gaining power overnight that surpassed decades of martial practice?

It was simply now his turn.

"Unfortunately, my current realm is not high. Although I have gained many benefits, there is also a limit to what I can endure. I only hope that by seizing this opportunity, I can break through one more realm in one go, achieving Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Five Qi Chaoyuan."

Li Yi mused inwardly.

He knew that harvesting the powers of this entity was not a long-term plan. His only hope was to elevate his realm as much as possible before then.

As long as he could achieve Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, he would possess Heavenly General level strength and thus have the power to protect himself in the Heavenly Realm.

Meanwhile, Li Yi didn’t sit idle. He used the Five Elements Bracelet to store the excess purple blood, though unsure if it would retain its divinity, it was worth a try.

One cannot leave the treasure vault empty-handed.

On the side, Hua Qing was also intensely cultivating, but his starting point was too low. Merely a remnant soul, even with this boon, it was difficult to restore to his peak.

However, it was much better than before. His strength was currently recovering, though he still hadn’t reached Heavenly Soldier level combat power.

The two remained silent, each digesting the hard-earned opportunity.

As time passed day by day.

But what they hadn’t noticed was.

The Red Lotus rooted in the purple blood sea had now transformed into a Purple Lotus and bloomed, with a full twenty-four petals.

Moreover, Divine Light shone within the Lotus Platform, vaguely nurturing new lotus seeds.

The potential of this lotus seemed even greater than the two had anticipated. Previously, due to the world’s low level and lack of resources, it had remained inconspicuous.

But now it had broken its shackles, rapidly evolving in an unknown direction.

It was not just the Red Lotus.

Even the Five Elements Bracelet in Li Yi’s hand had undergone changes under the nourishment of purple blood, now crystalline and translucent, like a piece of purple beautiful jade, also shining with Divine Light, its quality far superior to before.

Clearly, the power of this terrifying entity not only benefited people but also greatly aided objects.

However, such conditions obviously couldn’t last forever.

This reckless theft of power, after some time, seemed to have been noticed by something within the purple blood sea, as a terrifying killing intent spread out.

The moment this killing intent appeared, it startled both Li Yi and Hua Qing.

The two simultaneously opened their eyes, showing a bit of alarm.

The two looked simultaneously in the direction the killing intent was coming from, only to see the once-calm purple blood sea suddenly churn, raising towering waves.

An entity completely shrouded in purple manifested, its gaze coldly fixated on Li Yi.

This purple entity’s appearance was unclear, only a humanoid form could be discerned, but the aura it revealed was especially terrifying.

"Not good, we’ve been discovered, damn it, you wicked Earth person, are you mad? Taking some blood is one thing, but you actually stored so much with a storage magical artifact? Did you really think this entity wouldn’t notice?"

Hua Qing glanced over and was startled.

Logically, the power they stole should be insignificant to such a massive entity, seemingly undetectable, yet Li Yi’s Five Elements Bracelet had transformed into a purple jade bracelet, with an unknown amount of purple blood inside.

"It’s hard-won coming here, how could I not take some," Li Yi said, at this moment his three Tao Flowers bloomed, releasing a powerful aura.

After days of toil, he finally achieved Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Five Qi Chaoyuan, and his combat power was at least Heavenly General level, no longer just a roadside pest.

Though the third Life Flower had just bloomed, not yet perfected, his Mana Flower already had six petals, and if the remaining acupoints were opened, it could certainly achieve Great Perfection.

"Stop wasting time, let’s go quickly, that humanoid is this entity’s own will manifested to expel impurities and repair physical damage," Hua Qing urged urgently.

Clearly, it’s treating Li Yi and Hua Qing as viruses, discovered and now targeted for elimination by the immune system.

Li Yi didn’t hesitate, immediately taking back the Red Lotus... no, the Purple Lotus, then drew his Sword Coin, slicing open the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane, escaping at the fastest speed.

This series of actions seemed well-rehearsed, skillfully executed.

Of course, partly it was because Li Yi’s strength had increased greatly now, making escape easier and more assured.

The vast purple blood then vanished, and the torn opening swiftly healed.

The purple humanoid entity seemed to lack substantial intelligence, upon sensing no anomaly, it re-formed into a pool of blood, merging into the endless purple blood sea below.

"Luckily, it didn’t chase us, that thing’s power should be Heavenly King level, if it regarded you as an enemy, and straightaway attacked, it would’ve indeed been dangerous." Hua Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the protection of the Sword Coin’s treasure light, they entered the mysterious space.

"What are you planning to do next?" Hua Qing asked again.

Li Yi remained silent, after traversing a while, he used the Sword Coin again to slice open the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane, returning to the Heavenly Realm.

"Hmm? Aren’t you going home?" Hua Qing was surprised.

Li Yi said, "I’ll send you back home first then return myself, this also fulfills my promise, now my strength has somewhat broken through, this matter should be doable."

Strength brought strong confidence, giving him courage to venture deeper into the Heavenly Realm.

Even though the Heavenly Realm is dangerous, it’s also full of opportunities.

However, upon returning to the Heavenly Realm again, he found himself once more above the Sea of Ruins, but this time luck was good, not entering the Inner Sea, but in the Outer Sea, he could even glimpse the distant land and towering mountains.

Sensing the surroundings.

No danger, only some insignificant entities in the water.

"I didn’t expect you’re quite a decent person, the old man misjudged you," Hua Qing was somewhat stunned.

"Spare the verbiage, just show me the way," Li Yi said.

Hua Qing immediately flicked his fingers, releasing a mana that turned into a gigantic map: ’This is the general map of the Heavenly Realm, my hometown is located in the East Pole Yun State of the Third Layer Heaven. You must first find a Cultivator’s city, then take a World Boat to enter the Third Layer Heaven, otherwise, with mere flying, it would take a hundred years at least.’

Li Yi stared at the massive map, somewhat intrigued.

The map was complex, worlds intertwined, spaces overlapped, seemingly infinite, the Sea of Ruins he couldn’t see the end of merely occupied a small corner of it.

To find the East Pole Yun State in the Third Layer Heaven Hua Qing mentioned, the map had to be enlarged, enlarged, until it could barely be located.

"The Heavenly Realm is truly vast," he sighed.

"The Heavenly Realm is a general term here, actually there are many worlds integrated with the Heavenly Realm, like the Rakshasa Clan previously encountered, they hailed from the Rakshasa Realm, and there’s the Dragon Realm, Heavenly God Realm, etc., Cultivation Worlds," Hua Qing said: "I’ve mentioned before, cultivation practices in the Heavenly Realm are diverse, so can’t be classified by realm, must be gauged by combat power instead."

"Because every world, every race, has their own cultivation methods." Follow current novels on novel(ꜰ)ire.net

"But these aren’t essential knowledge, staying longer in the Heavenly Realm you’ll gradually understand, even I as well have minimal knowledge on the Heavenly Realm."

"So in the Heavenly Realm, just be mindful of some dangerous areas and enemies you can’t defeat, as for the rest, it’s irrelevant, don’t fear offending anyone, the Heavenly Realm is so vast, even killing a noble prince, they wouldn’t find you."

Li Yi nodded slightly, deeply agreeing.

After all, he had already tried before, Emperor Hua Qing’s fame was useless, couldn’t intimidate anyone, being strong oneself was what’s most crucial.
