Chapter 1655 - 1469: Defying Heaven’s Harvest

All of this still has to be attributed to the Bloodline Treasure. Without it, even with a hundred billion years, he wouldn’t have been able to devour these Law Stone Engravings!

In the distance.

Xuan Chuqing frowned slightly.

"Just now, did he suddenly smile or was it my imagination?" Xuan Chuqing murmured to herself: "And it seemed like a flash of aura, an extremely dangerous aura, passed from him. It shouldn’t be! How could that aura be something he released? He’s only been cultivating for an hour; could he have transformed so drastically? It seems I’ve been too focused on this Secret Realm competition and am too nervous."

Thinking about the Secret Realm competition, Xuan Chuqing couldn’t help but sigh.

This Secret Realm competition is particularly important.

Not to mention the rewards for achieving a good rank, the Secret Realm itself is a huge opportunity.

If possible, Xuan Chuqing would of course prefer to team up with those terrifying strong people at least in the top twenty or even top ten of the Heaven Stepping List. After all, this competition is a two-person team scoring event, and collaborators are extremely important.

However, she also knows very well that if she tries to team up with those top-tier strong people on the Heaven Stepping List, their willingness is one thing, but even if they are willing, once inside the Secret Realm, upon finding valuable treasures, as the weaker party, she might only end up as an observer.

As for Ye Tian, she estimated that he is slightly stronger than her, but not so much stronger that she would have no say at all.

Another issue is her identity, which is very sensitive. Choosing any top-tier strong person on the Heaven Stepping List will inevitably lead to a lot of speculation and signals to many people and forces, which could be very troublesome. Meanwhile, Ye Tian comes from another civilization, a lone figure, so there’s no need to worry about these issues.

While Xuan Chuqing’s thoughts were in turmoil, Ye Tian continued his cultivation.

If the Law Stone Engravings were a huge surprise, then the Immortal Artifacts he scavenged from the Space Rings of Zhou Fu, Xiao Lu, and the treasury of the Reverse Blood Demon Tiger Clan were another surprise.

A total of 92 pieces.

Yes!!!

Ninety-two pieces.

A terrifying number.

There are as many as 13 High Grade Immortal Artifacts among them.

But unfortunately, these Immortal Artifacts, the Mysterious Stele can’t devour for now, as it hasn’t reached the level of Chang Civilization’s Eternal Weapon yet, its level is temporarily stuck and has reached its limit, unable to devour.

Can only set them aside for now.

"Oh, what’s this?" Ye Tian quickly discovered something good in the treasury of the Reverse Blood Demon Tiger Clan.

A bottle of blood.

However, the blood is not red, but a dark red.

Why does he think this bottle of blood is something good? Because he can confirm that the container holding this bottle of blood is a top High Grade Immortal Artifact, possibly even approaching the level of a Shattering Immortal Treasure.

Yes, after Immortal Artifacts come Shattering Immortal Treasures.

Shattering Immortal Treasures are naturally rare, probably considered as rare as a phoenix’s feather within the Ze Civilization.

If the container for the blood is nearing the level of a Shattering Immortal Treasure, it’s clear that this bottle of blood is far from ordinary.

Moreover, Ye Tian can also sense that this bottle of blood seems very ancient, possibly stored for a billion years or more.

Even after such a long time, the fact that he can still sense the faint dormant energy waves in this Essence Blood is testament enough to its extraordinariness.

"Devour."

Without any hesitation.

Directly devours it.

Ye Tian, being a ruthless person, willed the bottle to open.

In an instant.

The blood poured into his flesh.

Then!!!!

Ye Tian’s face began to contort, wracked with pain.

A pain that penetrates to the bone.

Every cell, every inch of flesh inside him felt as though it was filled, crazily inflating, about to burst.

However, from the outside, aside from his extremely contorted face and slight shivering all over, there was no particularly notable change.

Xuan Chuqing watched Ye Tian, a bit worried.

What is going on?

Did Ye Tian become demonized during cultivation?

She was somewhat anxious but couldn’t help. If he were truly demonized, helping blindly now would actually harm Ye Tian.

She could only wait patiently.

Meanwhile, Ye Tian himself was going crazy!

The sensation of pain continued to flood through him like a deluge, rampaging unrestrainedly, and it was only getting stronger.

It wasn’t just the feeling of bursting now; there was also an indescribable burning sensation, as if the most terrifying flames were igniting his Essence Blood and flesh.

At this moment, Ye Tian kept his eyes closed, otherwise, he would see that his eyes were a deep purplish-red.

"Hm? Is he in pain?" Xuan Chuqing had already stood up in concern because she saw that where Ye Tian sat in cultivation was already dotted with water stains, and they were still spreading, all gathered from Ye Tian’s sweat.

In such a short time, sweat flowed madly, and this was due to the extreme pain.

In fact, if Ye Tian didn’t possess unimaginable Divine Soul strength, he would already have fainted from the pain, and if he did faint, the consequences would certainly be severe. With treasures like this Essence Blood, if one loses their sanity and can’t control the rampant energy inside with their mind or guide it... one could easily end up with their physical body being ripped apart.

So, Ye Tian was indeed incredibly lucky; only he could manage such recklessness. Had it been someone else, even if their strength were a hundred times greater, they wouldn’t escape the fate of having their body rupture if they recklessly consumed this blood.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Finally.

Three whole hours later.

The swelling pain and burning sensation gradually began to dissipate.

Really, Ye Tian was already very, very, very tired, wanting nothing more than to sleep right where he was.

These three hours, despite his extremely strong Divine Soul, were hard to endure.

Fortunately, it finally passed.

And with so high a price, how could the harvest not be substantial?????

"That bottle of Essence Blood turned out to be the essence blood refined from the lifelong essence of the Reverse Blood Demon Tiger’s ancestor?" Ye Tian was somewhat shocked.

Completely unexpected.

The Reverse Blood Demon Tiger race, in Ye Tian’s view, seemed quite weak.

At least, within Ze Civilization, it was definitely considered the bottom tier.

But such a race once had such an incredibly powerful ancestor?

Ye Tian didn’t know that the Reverse Blood Demon Tiger race, tens of billions of years ago, was indeed a ruler-level race within the Ze Civilization.

Especially the ancestor of the Reverse Blood Demon Tiger, who suppressed an entire era of Ze Civilization.

However, later on, because that ancestor committed the sin of Heavenly Punishment, Ze Civilization’s will of civilization imposed a punishment of decline, and he finally died with resentment. Before his death, he refined all his life’s essence into this bottle of Essence Blood and left it to his descendants.

But sadly, in later generations, because of the sin of Heavenly Punishment committed by the ancestor of the Reverse Blood Demon Tiger Clan, although he had received punishment, it was not enough.

The descendants also had to repay the debt.

So, the Reverse Blood Demon Tiger Clan continued to decline...

Until countless years later, when Hu Lican appeared, causing the Reverse Blood Demon Tiger Clan to rise against the odds for a period, but unfortunately, it was just a period and couldn’t change the overall situation.

Back then, Hu Lican, this Super Demon who made it onto the Heaven Stepping List, had also wanted this bottle of Essence Blood.

Wanted the gift of the ancestor.

But sadly, he wasn’t qualified.

At his peak, Hu Lican opened this bottle many times, but just opening it, forget about consuming, even just smelling a whiff of the Essence Blood’s aura gave a feeling of tearing the body apart.

So he didn’t dare consume it, planning instead to use it when his strength was sufficient in the future, but by then, he was already dead.

This bottle of Essence Blood was left behind.

Which made it beneficial for Ye Tian.

"Physical body strength, increased tremendously again!!!"

The Essence Blood’s greatest use is for refining the physical body.

Especially, Essence Blood from the Demon Beast races, its usefulness in refining and enhancing the physical body is immense.

Even more luckily, the ancestor of the Reverse Blood Demon Tiger Clan was precisely a master of the path of physical body.

The refined essence left behind not only enhanced Ye Tian’s physical body strength perhaps more than twice?

Approximately five times.

Moreover, at this moment, if one were to cut a piece from Ye Tian’s flesh and examine it carefully, they would even see each of Ye Tian’s flesh molecules seemingly wrapped in a thin layer of golden defense.
