Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Blood Qi Smoke instantly shot up to the sky, covering an area of hundreds to nearly a thousand meters, creating an almost tangible pressure that compressed the surrounding trees into shorter trunks.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

With Wang Sheng’s movements, the pressure intensified further. Initially, it was just suppressing the leaves and small branches, but in the blink of an eye, it snapped branches as thick as an adult’s thigh, followed by entire trees.

Boom!

At a certain limit, where Blood Qi Smoke covered, all the big trees were compressed until they burst, and countless splinters were ejected, turning into extremely terrifying weapons.

It was at this time that the Blood Qi Smoke seemed to have reached a peak.

Roar~

The Blood Qi Smoke began to contract, officially moving towards a higher essence.

Not just that, many felt their bodies being promoted along with the Blood Qi.

He knew that this promotion was more fierce than any before.

At the same time, Wang Sheng also felt a huge consumption.

His blood was yearning.

No advancement would come without cost.

Without the slightest hesitation, he swallowed another handful of Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pills.

But these pills were almost instantly digested, nowhere near enough to meet the consumption.

Wang Sheng continued to consume.

With the replenishment from the pills, the Blood Qi Smoke found a source of strength, without any worries.

Simultaneously, the role of the Five Internal Gods became apparent at this moment, integrating the whole body, strengthening the viscera, and swiftly converting the replenished Qi-Blood into energy for promotion.

As time passed, the Blood Qi Smoke in the sky became more solid and soon gathered together, like a fierce sun hanging in the sky.

On the ground, the previously compressed and exploded wood was directly dried by the fierce sun, with countless vapors steaming up, and the wood on the ground gradually began to turn yellowish-black.

This is the power of Blood Qi, like the great sun itself, from which evil spirits cannot approach, and wandering ghosts would be instantly obliterated if they came too close.

And this was merely the beginning of the transformation.

All the Blood Qi Smoke gathered into a ball as large as the sun, then began to accumulate power.

Inside the great sun seemed a heart beating, but Wang Sheng knew it was just that the Blood Qi had reached a limit.

Thump! Thump!

The power of the Blood Qi drove the surrounding air, causing the scorching air to begin oscillating, everything around it as if murmuring pilgrim hymns.

As Wang Sheng digested another portion of the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill’s power.

The Blood Qi congealed sphere seemed to have reached its limit as its shape began to change.

Following that, like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate, the Blood Qi underwent a huge transformation.

The water mist steamed by the power of Blood Qi seemed to be confined by the pressure of Blood Qi, unable to rise any higher in the Blood Qi sphere, as if dragging the sky down.

"Roar~"

Dragon chants rose again, and within the clouds, it seemed a True Dragon swam, stirring all the winds and clouds.

Wang Sheng’s Blood Qi had inadvertently completed its transformation; it was the power of Blood Qi like Dragon.

As the transformation completed, an even broader and more powerful pressure instantly descended on the ground, nearly pressing the land down a layer, forming a small depression.

And as Wang Sheng replenished Qi-Blood, the Blood Qi turned into a huge dragon, continuously expanding and becoming more powerful.

The "Dragon Might" formed by Blood Qi instantly spread out over ten miles, far surpassing the Blood Qi Smoke in deterrence.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Even more distant birds began to flee.

And so did the spirit beasts and demon beasts.

Their senses were only stronger than those of ordinary wild beasts.

That area seemed to have a peerless True Dragon born, as if staying there for another second would be an offense to such a being.

Certain Death!

Driven by the evocation of death, all creatures in that large area, as long as they had even a little intelligence, began to flee.

Then there were humans.

This actually wasn’t a problem, as Wang Sheng had chosen this location because there were no people nearby, so he could wreak as much havoc as he wished.

But he miscalculated one thing, deep in the mountains, countless people were searching for the Spiritual Medicine of Shuzhou.

King Yong Nian, Spirit Sword Valley, Heavenly Saber City, and some small forces.

Just two or three hundred miles away from where Wang Sheng was breaking through, two groups of people were facing each other, the atmosphere was tense, and they were about to fight.

These were the people from Spirit Sword Valley and Mo Yang.

But Wang Sheng’s breakthrough with Blood Qi, even over a range of two or three hundred miles, could be sensed due to the abnormality of the animals in the mountains, as birds were fleeing nearly covering the sky towards the outskirts.

Both sides realized something was amiss, thus deciding to temporarily cease fighting.

Then they separately went to a commanding height, looking towards the direction where the noises came from.

"What is that?"

Soon, someone saw a cloud far away in the sky that seemed to cover the area, and all the birds and beasts were coming out of there.

This was the cloud of steam created by Wang Sheng’s Blood Qi, very distinct in the high sky.

"Should we go and see, it might be some treasure..."

The man’s words were interrupted by a slap to the head.

"What are you looking at, it’s treasure my foot, this is clearly a very powerful Martial Artist, seeming in the midst of a breakthrough, such disturbance, even a Great Grandmaster is nothing like this."

The people from Spirit Sword Valley were experienced and knew this was definitely not a situation where a treasure appeared.

This scene seemed to belong to a powerful cultivator who practiced a unique Cultivation Technique.

Moreover, this cultivator’s level could very likely be a Great Grandmaster.

Over a distance of two to three hundred li, by the time they arrived, the buttercups would have wilted. If that powerful being felt offended, a slap could kill them, which would be all for naught.

Besides, this time they entered Shuzhou with a low profile, so even if there really were treasures, it wasn’t their place to seize them.

After all, life was precious, and it wasn’t worth taking huge risks.

On the other hand, the people from Mo Yang had made a similar judgment.

However, their knowledge was not as broad as that of the people from Spirit Sword Valley; their actions were mainly guided by the orders of their leader.

"Apart from searching for Spiritual Medicine, do not get involved in any affairs."

With that, they had already decided not to get involved in anything.

Of course, they didn’t enter the fray, but not a single one of them left; instead, everyone watched that cluster of clouds.

They were all seventh-rank Martial Artists, with keen eyesight, and soon they noticed that there appeared to be something moving within the mist.

"What is that? A Flood Dragon? Or a True Dragon?"

"It can’t be a True Dragon; that’s just a legend, no True Dragon has ever appeared, it’s all speculation."

"But that thing, it really looks like the legendary True Dragon, but why is it bloody?"

No one could answer.

However, this sight deeply shook their hearts.

There was definitely something extremely frightening or a powerful being inside; they absolutely must not enter.

But it wasn’t just them who didn’t enter; others were also unwilling to venture in.

Greed can "overcome" fear.

There will always be people who think there are benefits inside, who think their power is great, and want to "take a chance."

However—

As they approached within a few dozen li of the mist, they felt a strong aura.

"Why does it feel a little hard to breathe!"

"It feels like we’re being watched by some Primordial Giant Beast; should we really keep going?"

This was a group of five Martial Artists.

Not a single one was a seventh-rank Martial Artist.

The weaker their strength, the more fearless they became because they had no idea what these scenes represented.

"Keep going, we’ve come this far, how could we possibly give up? What if it’s something astounding, we could make a fortune."

The group of five continued forward, and when they entered the area covered by Wang Sheng’s Blood Qi Power, before they could see clearly what was in the mist, a tremendous force descended upon them.

The five were instantly forced to their knees, unable to lift their heads.

Having entered the core area, they were not allowed to offend.

Just a second ago, they had been thinking of obtaining a defy-the-heavens opportunity, but in the next second, they were kneeling.

Now, their hearts were filled only with endless fear and regret, their words stuck in their throats.

The transforming Wang Sheng hadn’t even noticed that anyone had entered the range of his Blood Qi Power.

As he continued to replenish, his Blood Qi had already successfully transformed.

The Blood Qi Dragon wasn’t a fixed state of Blood Qi; it was just a way to reflect the power of his Blood Qi, determined by Wang Sheng’s inner thoughts.

And even after forming the Blood Qi Dragon, the transformation wasn’t truly finished.

"Withdraw!"

The essence of the Blood Qi rose, leading to an enhancement of the body.

Wang Sheng intended to retract all his power.

As the power of Blood Qi was withdrawn, Wang Sheng’s body also began to transform.

The essence of his blood improved instantly, reflecting on his body, enhancing every meridian and cell.

First was the Qi Blood Power, which stemmed from his blood. The improvement of his blood indicated a substantial enhancement of his Qi Blood Power, which was "refined" once again, becoming fundamentally higher and more formidable.

Just the use of Qi Blood Power could cause devastation several times or even many times greater than before.

And the enhancement of Qi Blood Power also led to the enhancement of Divine Thought.

Although he hadn’t tested it yet, Wang Sheng could clearly feel that his "divine" had quietly strengthened.

Exactly how much it had strengthened, Wang Sheng himself wasn’t entirely sure; a detailed test was necessary, but now wasn’t the time.

Because besides this, his entire body was transforming.

It was a silent, moisturizing change, with his whole body moving towards a higher state, a fundamental enhancement of his life essence.

It was indescribable and inexplicable, but the individual could clearly feel it.

Compared to the advancement of Blood Qi, this transformation didn’t cause much stir; it seemed like nothing had happened to the outside world.

And the process didn’t last long; while the Blood Qi was improving, his body had already begun changing, with the advancement of Blood Qi only helping to break through that barrier.

In just a few minutes, Wang Sheng had completed all his transformations.

"Life span of five hundred!"

This was his intuitive perception of his lifespan.

"My lifespan has now reached the level of a Master of Destiny!"
