CHAPTER 916: CHAPTER 688: PHYSICAL REBIRTH

Even though Li Yi brought twenty cultivation experts from the Dharma Decline World to the Barbaric World in one go, these people haven’t recovered their strength in the past few days and are still not considered experts, so they need some time to adjust.

Just as well, during this time, he also needs to study the Divine Blood to increase his own strength.

Only immense power can protect the Red Gold Mountain and its secrets.

Otherwise, if another Mountain Lord challenges him, everything here will fall into others’ hands.

He took out the Tianyi Palace and found a spacious area to set it up.

Then Li Yi walked into the Tianyi Palace.

At this moment, the hall was filled with an overwhelming Life Essence Qi, but unfortunately, his strength had already reached its limit and his body could no longer transform further; this Life Essence Qi swirling in the hall was temporarily useless to Li Yi.

He arrived at a room and activated the rune restrictions within the Tianyi Palace to seal the area.

Then Li Yi dared to take out a mass of already diluted Divine Blood to study it.

Although it was diluted,

this mass of Red Mist Blood still emitted astounding energy waves, and its lineage power was extremely potent, far surpassing his own Divine Blood Lineage, but he could feel that this Divine Blood was not the same as the Life Blood flowing within him.

Would different kinds of Divine Blood repel each other?

Various thoughts arose in Li Yi’s mind, but from the legends of the Divine Blood narrated by the Slave Master earlier, it could be deduced that the simplest way to use this Divine Blood is... bathing.

It is said that those who bathe in Divine Blood will possess a divine-like formidable physique, as well as lineage power that exceeds the Divine Blood Lineage.

"Bathing, huh?"

Li Yi hesitated for a moment, but finally cautiously extended his hand into the mass of Divine Blood floating in the air.

If there’s a problem, he could cut off his wrist at most and not use this hand.

As soon as his hand touched the diluted Divine Blood, an intense pain accompanied by a severe burning sensation surged forth; His hand instantly ignited with flames, although these flames were not material, they were a manifestation of concentrated energy.

Li Yi endured the sharp pains, he watched with his own eyes as the skin on his hand was instantly scorched, followed by the flesh, then the tendons... finally even his bones began to dissolve in the Divine Blood.

"Is it so domineering?"

He widened his eyes in disbelief.

Even as a Divine Blood Lineage himself, with a remarkable physique, he couldn’t withstand the baptism of this Divine Blood, and this was the effect after dilution—if a single drop of genuine Divine Blood fell on him, he would undoubtedly turn to ashes in an instant.

Yet, just as he thought that his hand would be completely destroyed,

something unexpected happened.

Li Yi’s hand bone, white as jade, began to regenerate flesh and blood, but this freshly grown flesh was red as mist, resembling a ruby, containing astonishing energy.

"I see, I understand now, Divine Baptism, destruction then rebirth..." At this moment, Li Yi had an epiphany.

The so-called bathing in Divine Blood actually meant this.

Because this Divine Blood not only possessed destructive energy, but also terrifying Life Essence Qi, with destruction and rebirth together; if one could withstand such a baptism, they would possess a physique comparable to the divine.

The ancient legend was not wrong, but it overlooked the great cost of accepting the Divine Blood’s baptism.

"I will use the Heaven and Earth’s Treasure, the Red Lotus, to protect my Primordial Spirit and let my body immerse in this diluted Divine Blood; my entire being will surely undergo this transformation." Li Yi’s eyes flickered, and a bold idea emerged in his mind.

He looked at his already swiftly regenerated hand, clearly sensing it contained immense power, its bones indestructible, with even the skin having a layer of mist flowing over it, possessing formidable defensive capabilities.

If his entire body were like this, Li Yi’s physical strength would ascend further, possibly even undergoing other miraculous changes.

Thinking of this,

Li Yi could no longer hold back, as he believed this plan very viable, with almost no chance of failure; after all, his Primordial Spirit would remain unharmed, so nothing else would be a problem.

Immediately, he released another larger mass of Divine Blood from his Storage Magical Artifact.

Then he took off the Red Feather Purple Gold Armor on his body and directly leapt into the mass of Divine Blood.

In just an instant,

Li Yi’s clothes were incinerated by the overwhelming energy, then his physical body began to dissolve at an astonishing rate, with all the flesh disappearing, but only two pools of blood remained.

One was golden, burning with golden flames, and the other was silver, surrounded by lightning.

This was the true blood of the World Dragon, and the Divine Blood owned by the Divine Blood Lineage.

Even bathing in Divine Blood, these two bloods did not vanish; instead, through the quenching, some impurities within the blood were forcibly purged, leaving only the most pure origin.

Under the infusion of vast Life Essence Qi, these two true bloods began to grow and strengthen once more.

But at this moment, Li Yi had no time to worry about these things.

The intense pain made him immediately relinquish control of his physical body. His Primordial Spirit emerged from his body, and a Red Lotus bloomed from the Divine Blood, enveloping Li Yi’s Primordial Spirit while nurturing its growth with endless radiance.

This supreme treasure birthed by heaven and earth was truly astonishing.

The Primordial Spirit sat cross-legged on the Lotus Platform, seemingly impervious to all methods, with no harm able to break through the sanctuary of Red Gold and reach the essence of Li Yi’s Primordial Spirit.

"I’m not a masochist, why should I endure this all-consuming burning pain when I can block out the body’s suffering?" With the blossom of the Red Lotus surrounding his Primordial Spirit, Li Yi calmly observed his body’s refinement by the Divine Blood.

Bones as white as jade were elevated further by the refinement, glowing with the luster of Red Gold, unbreakable. Though just a skeleton, it exuded an exhilarating sense of vitality.

The vast sea of Life Essence Qi within Tianyi Palace was being drawn towards him.

Soon, the skeleton began to regenerate, with blood and flesh as bright as the Red Mist forming anew. Each piece of flesh contained astonishing energy; this transformation transcended mere evolution.

It was a true rebirth.

As the flesh emerged, the silver Divine Blood and the golden Dragon Blood coursed through his veins, showing signs of integration after this refinement,

No longer repelling each other but rather harmonizing beautifully.

This indicated that the latent instability within Li Yi’s body had been resolved after this rebirth, meaning once his body fully recovered, his strength would experience another qualitative leap.

Under the continued baptism of Divine Blood.

Li Yi’s first transformation took a full seven days to complete.

A flawless body emerged once more, each inch of skin seemingly imbued with the creation of heaven and earth, with terrifying Mighty Divine Power erupting with every move.

Seeing the timing was about right, Li Yi’s Primordial Spirit re-entered his body.

At this moment, he felt no pain in his body, only warmth and comfort.

After one transformation, he had adapted to this concentration of Divine Blood, which no longer caused him harm. However, Li Yi felt his transformation was not yet complete. He believed that with increased concentration of Divine Blood, he could undergo a second or even third transformation.

Thus, his physique would become ever closer to that of a true Divine, even if his Cultivation realm was not high. He estimated that the strength of his body could contend with a Three Flowers Peak expert.

Although it sounded incredible, Li Yi had previously witnessed the strength of Mountain Lord Level warriors and knew that this world was indeed like this.

Relying solely on physical and bloodline strength in battle, with not a single trace of Spells.

As the first transformation concluded.

Li Yi suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes shone with Divine Light, silver lightning interwoven with golden flames surrounding his body. With just a wave of his hand, terrifying power erupted, causing the whole Tianyi Palace to tremble, with the sounds of dragon roars and tiger growls incessantly heard.

"Eight Dragons and Eight Tigers Power..."

Li Yi felt the surging power within him and couldn’t help but take a deep breath, amazed at his current strength.

This level of power meant that he could now fight off Cultivation Experts below the Three Flowers with just his physical body. Only experts like Xuan Yuezi and Xiang Xiangzi, at the Peak of Three Flowers, could surpass him in strength.

But only by a little; within him existed the Mana of sixty acupoints. As soon as the Five Qi Chaoyuan birthed the Primordial Spirit Power, and combined Mana with Primordial Spirit Power, even if the Seven Immortals of the Heavenly Dao Sect gathered, they would struggle to compete with him.

"If I undergo another transformation, I wonder how much Dragon and Tiger Power I could possess." He clenched his fists, with a heart full of excitement.

However, the second transformation was exceedingly difficult,

requiring a high enough concentration of Divine Blood.

Li Yi was in no rush; he felt he should undergo the Five Qi Chaoyuan first before a second transformation, for without a sufficiently powerful Primordial Spirit, it would be challenging to perfectly control his immense strength.

After changing into a new set of clothes.

Li Yi donned the Red Feather Purple Gold Armor once more, then stored the remaining Divine Blood. He then strode out of Tianyi Palace.

This time, he possessed true Mountain Lord Level combat strength, and was a Divine Blood Direct Lineage Warrior.

It was just about time.

As soon as Li Yi stepped out of Tianyi Palace, he looked up to the sky.

With hidden lightning encircling his body.

Suddenly, a bolt of thunder from the sky descended upon him.

"Now is the time to unlock the Divine Arts within my bloodline." Li Yi did not evade, embracing the thunderbolt, feeling that this thunder birthed between heaven and earth represented a legacy left in this ancient world by a certain Divine.

And this was the inheritance of Divine Arts.

It was something every Divine Blood Lineage must come in contact with.
