High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 670: Chapter 446: Purple Jade Mountain, 1,000-Year Blood Soldier, Demon God’s Bleeding Heart_2

...

Several days later.

A new batch of Blood Cores arrived at the volcano.

The crimson figure unhesitatingly threw ten thousand Blood Cores into it, and the ancient inscriptions on the Ancient Altar lit up again, reviving the nearly dried up Blood Pool.

As the ten thousand Intermediate War God quality Blood Cores were added, the Ancient Altar erupted with an unprecedented terrifying wave of Qi and Blood, which surged straight to the heavens, stirring up the wind and clouds.

Soon, the golden power flowing through the flesh in the Blood Pool also burst out brilliantly.

Then, in the center of the brow and on the Five Viscera and Six Viscera, two stars each shone brightly. These twenty-four stars resonated, and then the Immortal Star Map slowly unfolded.

As the Immortal Star Map unfolded, another twelve slightly dimmer stars began to shine.

Seeing this, the crimson figure was once again overwhelmed with surging waves of shock, seemingly realizing that their understanding of the potency of this flesh was far from sufficient.

"Wrong, I had grossly underestimated the potential of this flesh..."

"This flesh not only could wield part of a Demon God’s strength, it might truly rival a living Demon God!"

The crimson figure felt an intense heat in their heart, but it quickly faded away.

Because...

The crimson figure was dumbfounded to discover that even ten thousand Blood Cores were still not enough.

The flesh in the Blood Pool truly seemed like a bottomless black hole.

Staring at the nearly depleted Blood Pool once more, the crimson figure fell into brief contemplation.

Unwilling!

The current potential of the flesh seemed to have already reached, even surpassed, their previous expectations.

But upon realizing that this flesh had even higher, greater potential, they felt a sense of inadequacy in simply ending it like this.

However, they also knew that, in the short term, they likely wouldn’t be able to gather any more Blood Cores.

After an intense internal conflict of thoughts...

At a certain moment, the crimson figure gritted their teeth, then, with a flash of spiritual light, a small ’Purple Mountain’ appeared in their hand.

At the instant the Purple Mountain appeared, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged and directly formed a rain of Spiritual Qi above the Ancient Altar.

Looking closely, the small Purple Mountain was composed of palm-sized Purple Jade blocks stacked together.

The crimson figure’s face showed signs of distress and hesitation; this batch of Purple Jade had been accumulated for nearly a hundred years, representing almost their entire fortune, the entire fortune of a Demon God!

"It won’t be long before the Demon God Emperor descends... This batch of Energy Purple Jade would be enough to exchange for a martial art above Ninth Level from the Demon God Emperor, or to exchange for a true Supreme Battle Intent."

"Is it worth it to invest in this flesh?"

Before others, the crimson figure appears as a Divine Spirit, but at this moment, they struggled intensely, continuously weighing the gains and losses in their mind.

A few seconds later.

Determination was evident on their face, along with a gambler’s expression.

"In this regard, I have already fallen behind those fellows. They each have martial arts or Battle Intent above Ninth Level exchanged from the Demon God Emperor in their hands, but so what..."

"None of them have truly made that step, nor have they been able to truly master those martial arts, so they’re not much stronger than me..."

"But if this flesh succeeds, and I separate a part of my Divine Soul to take control, our combat power will return to the same starting point, or even leap over them... It’s worth it, everything will be worth it."

The crimson figure quickly convinced themselves, then gritted their teeth and began to throw the Purple Jade into the Blood Pool.

The Purple Jade dissolved in the Blood Pool, quickly releasing terrifying energy that reactivated the inscriptions on the Ancient Altar, then exploded with even more terrifying energy.

One block.

Ten blocks.

A hundred blocks.

At first, the crimson figure showed extreme distress, as if their heart were bleeding.

As block after block of Purple Jade completely dissolved and was absorbed by the flesh, the golden power flowing through the flesh soared to the utmost level, at this moment seemingly reaching a pinnacle of sublimation.

In the face of this golden power, even the crimson figure felt a sense of crisis.

A soulless flesh causing him such apprehension?!

The crimson figure first showed shock and daze, then delight, as if a breath trapped in their chest was finally released, making them feel utterly triumphant.

They originally thought they had already overestimated this flesh, but didn’t expect the flesh to be even more promising than imagined.

Immediately, their hesitant eyes flared with precision; they knew they had definitely bet on the right course!

"The consumption of these Purple Jades was truly worthwhile, indeed Heaven helps me. This flesh might help me surmount all of them!"

"When this flesh is fully refined, I will surpass all of them!"

A burst of wild laughter echoed through the volcanic fields.

After the ecstasy, the crimson figure’s gaze remained fixed on the golden power coursing through the flesh, with traces of dread in their eyes.

"This power is very strong, using ordinary puppet refining techniques might be ineffective; even if refined, it might be difficult to control and properly harness the power of this flesh."

"Moreover, I have already invested so many resources; might as well go all the way!"

In the crimson figure’s hand, a blood-colored flash appeared, revealing a weapon entirely red in hue and emanating a powerful aura.

This was a mighty Blood Soldier, a weapon inherited by each generation of the Guye Clan, nurtured with blood for a millennium, equating to twenty or thirty ordinary Blood Soldiers.

Within the Blood Soldier flowed the blood of the Guye Clan, making it one of the finest puppet cores; to destroy such a Thousand-year-old Blood Soldier was indeed a pity.

But with this Blood Soldier as the core, it would become much easier to control the flesh later, and the full power of the flesh could be more effectively utilized.

The figure employed a special Secret Technique to activate the Blood Soldier, which self-destructed before being cast into the Blood Pool.

From then on, everything proceeded smoothly.

The disintegrated Blood Soldier quickly shot into the flesh without any obstacles encountered.

Seeing such a sight, the crimson figure’s heartache vanished, as long as everything proceeded smoothly; once the Blood Soldier completely fused with the flesh.

At that time, this flesh would transform into another greater special ’Blood Soldier’, coursing with the blood of the Guye Clan, thus saving him a lot of time.

But the crimson figure failed to notice that within the flesh, the fragmented Blood Soldier, carrying the millennium-old Guye Clan blood, never truly fused into it.

Additionally, within the flesh’s lungs, there existed a force quietly growing by extracting from the Blood Soldier.

Except all this...

The crimson figure, eyes still blinded by ecstasy and believing everything firmly under control, remained oblivious.

...

A convoy from Bandar City slowly made its way towards Loris City.

"Master Pier, we are three hundred li away from Losiris City."

A tall alien race with crimson skin respectfully reported, his face filled with fervor and reverence.

"Alright, I understand."

The tall alien then turned around, letting his gaze settle briefly on a frail figure shrouded in a black robe beside Ray Pier, with a flicker of envy and jealousy in his eyes.

Uncomprehending how this feeble fellow deserved to always stay by Master Pier’s side.

Master Ray Pier, not only hails from the esteemed Ray Family, one of the Eight Great Royal Families, but also possesses unfathomable strength and cunning, having covertly taken control of the Nine Cities in just under ten days.

Currently, in the Celestial Snow Province, only the provincial capital Loris City remains, with the other Nine Cities operating normally on the surface. No changes except for the destruction of arenas and some slave trade black markets within the cities.

But in actuality, everything had quietly changed hands, coming under Pier’s control.

Once the reporting alien had left, inside the carriage, Pier’s previously elevated and inscrutable demeanor instantly shifted to one of fervor and reverence, akin to the tall alien.

"Master, is our next step to swallow up Loris City as well, and thereby fully seize control of the Celestial Snow Province?"
