Final Origin Blood

The appetizer was over. Flames still raged within the factory. Any bizarre aberrant worms that poked their heads out were swiftly sniped by the coordinated efforts of the trio. Strictly speaking, describing them as "bizarre" wasn't entirely fitting—it was mainly that no better word came to mind. Their appearances weren't actually so outlandish. For example, one aberrant worm had half the body of a wolf and half the body of a red bug. After being scorched by the inferno, one half was thoroughly charred to a crisp while the other was glowing scarlet. Yet, relying on its robust vitality, it still hopped and bounded about—until Yu Xian cut it down in a single blow. The factory was deep, and below lay a chaotic mess of creatures. Yu Xian had no choice but to conserve his Spatial Blood Energy. Thus, he had a palm bubble grip the Manji Flash Thunder Saber gifted by the Dragon King Golden Toad. Against weaker monsters, every strike was an instant kill. The Manji Flash Thunder Saber was extraordinarily sharp. Against transcendent creatures below Wolf rank, a single stroke took out small fry effortlessly. Just then, a spatial bubble filled with blood floated over. Yu Xian produced a cup and poured himself a serving. He took a sip without batting an eye, decided the flavor wasn't bad, and gulped the blood down in hearty mouthfuls. "Did you gain any new abilities?" Xiao Cheng asked curiously upon seeing Yu Xian finish the blood. Yu Xian shook his head, looking helpless. "No. But the heart belonging to the perfect creature seems to be absorbing this blood. I'll test it further." At that moment, a dark shadow flitted rapidly through the flames. Its speed was so great that while Yu Xian could perceive its presence, his body couldn't react in time. However, out of absolute confidence in the Reverse Scale Dragon Shield, he didn't need to react anyway. He casually held his cup and continued sipping blood at his leisure. In an instant, the dark shadow rebounded off a pillar ahead in an arc, pouncing beside Yu Xian and unleashing a torrential barrage of attacks. The dragon shield flared around Yu Xian, flawlessly deflecting every strike. Just as the dark shadow realized Yu Xian wasn't an easy target to breach and tried to retreat, Yu Lie thrust his saber straight through it. With a flick of his blade, the dark shadow tumbled to the ground, already drawing its final breath. This was a cat-shaped perfect creature endowed with Super Speed, Super Acceleration, Super Agility, Super Muscles, Super Reflexes, and an entire sequence of speed-enhancing traits. Evidently, the researchers in the factory had aimed to engineer a hyper-speed monster. In fact, the facility housed many experimental monsters. Instead of incinerating them after creation, the researchers had kept them alive as materials for superior gene extraction. Fortunately, these beasts lacked the intelligence for teamwork. Many of them were even infighting on the lower levels, devouring one another. Yu Xian and the others were spared from facing a coordinated monster horde. Yu Xian finished every drop of the extracted blood from No. 006. He then glanced at the cat on the ground, ultimately abandoning the idea of drinking its blood. Mainly, the cat had died with wide, bulging eyes and its tongue lolling out—the corpse looked rather unsightly. Although Yu Xian was curious about what would happen once the perfect creature's heart absorbed these bloodlines, he felt no urgency right now. There were plenty of perfect creatures below. Other resources might run short, but the blood of perfect creatures was guaranteed to be more than enough. Over the next while, various perfect creatures darted out of the flames from time to time, only to be struck down by Yu Lie or Yu Xian. Yu Xian extracted a large quantity of blood from a perfect creature that closely resembled a hippopotamus, continuing to drink it to supply energy to his heart. After about half an hour, the fire gradually began to die down. Due to the severe oxygen depletion underground, many of the perfect creatures still locked in slaughter were forced to flee upward. Essentially, the perfect creatures that had stayed on the lower levels until now belonged to the stronger echelon. Only their bodies truly deserved the title of perfect creatures, possessing virtually no fixed forms. A perfect creature whose head morphed between a serpent and a toucan burst out from beneath the floor. Its neck rapidly elongated, piercing through the factory roof to suck in whirlpools of fresh air. Yu Lie severed its neck with a slash. But even with its head separated from its body, the perfect creature did not die; instead, it rapidly sprouted a second head and gulped down the severed head and neck in one bite. It grew a bovine face, turned toward Yu Lie, and unleashed a thunderous roar. The next instant, Xiao Cheng's Days-Pass-Like-Years Domain locked it in place. Yu Lie struck continuously from various angles, and the moment all his attacks entered the domain, Xiao Cheng tacitly dispelled the field. Rumble! The perfect creature was battered by the concentrated onslaught and collapsed heavily to the ground. Yu Xian, loitering off to the side, promptly used a spatial bubble to draw blood from the creature. Pouring himself a cup, he casually sipped it beside Xiao Cheng. Against monsters below Wolf rank, he could manage with the Manji Flash Thunder Saber. But against Tiger rank or higher, he had to rely on chaotic spatial bubbles. Doing so consumed too much Spatial Blood Energy. It was far better to leave them to the two directors to handle. Yu Xian continued drinking blood. Every time a large perfect creature went down, he drew a portion of its blood. As he drank more and more, the heart in his chest belonging to the perfect creature turned increasingly scarlet. Finally, when he absorbed the blood of the thirty-fifth perfect creature, his heart perforated, actually transforming into the Seven-Apertures Exquisite Heart. The heart began to beat slowly. Blood flowed in and out through its seven apertures. What it drew in was his original Silver Blood, but what flowed out became a far more miraculous blood. He could even faintly sense that through one of the apertures, blood appeared out of nothing and vanished into nothing, as though exchanging blood across an immense distance. He immediately used Appraisal on himself and checked his abilities: [Seven-Apertures Exquisite Heart: Through the seven apertures, blood can be converted into Final Origin Blood. All my blood kin are my body!] [Final Origin Blood: Any creature possessing Final Origin Blood will offer 100% obedience to the host's will. So long as the origin blood endures, they will never betray.] Yu Xian closed the status interface. He took a deep breath, then resumed sipping blood to calm the excitement surging within him. Without question, he had obtained an extraordinarily powerful ability. Though he did not yet know what rank of creature the Final Origin Blood could practically control, judged by the appraisal results alone, these two abilities were insanely potent. The Seven-Apertures Exquisite Heart likely originated from the bloodline of Bigan, the Civil God of Wealth, but this "Final Origin Blood" was a bit harder to trace. The perfect creature's skill tree was essentially a haphazard mishmash, causing many abilities to mutate. Who would have guessed that pairing the Xiaotian Dog's Super Smell with the divine beast Xiezhi's Super Brain would form such a terrifying perceptual ability? The Seven-Apertures Exquisite Heart had probably mutated in tandem with one of his other abilities. Consequently, the special blood that originally was only meant to converse with all things in the world and dispel all illusions from one's sight had instead transformed into the current Final Origin Blood. Still, the process didn't matter. What mattered most was the result! Deep in the ocean, within a secret base belonging to the Ancient Sages Society, Zhou Tai No. 2 slowly opened his eyes. He glanced down at his arm, a faint smile gracing his lips. The Final Origin Blood was truly wonderful—it had actually crossed the void to flow into this severed arm of his. A glint of red light flashed across Zhou Tai No. 2's eyes. Clearly, he had already fallen under the control of Yu Xian's Final Origin Blood.
