Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 174 Harvest
Time passes day by day.

Even though he was at the core of this evil vortex, being exposed to the golden light, the speed of Wang Xiu's body transformation was slowing down day by day. This made Wang Xiu realize... that he was reaching the limit of what his body could endure.

"What a pity! Even though my body has been strengthened by the system, it is still a human body and cannot be compared with the golden-horned beast." Wang Xiu felt a little regretful.

Even if the golden-horned beast had not been attacked by any evil spirit, it could still directly fuse more than ninety Blood Luo crystals.

Compared with humans, the golden-horned beast, as a descendant of the beast god, has a natural advantage in fusing blood crystals.

This is not just a difference in genetic level, but also due to blood inheritance.

After a long time, the changes deep inside Wang Xiu's body finally stopped completely.

"I have reached my limit." Wang Xiu thought to himself, "I have been in the core of this vortex for nearly 30 days. If I were in the outside world, it would take at least a hundred years for my body to be saturated."

"Now I should be able to fuse the tenth Blood Crystal."

"Well, let's go out and find a secluded place to try first."

Wang Xiu took a look at the 16 huge golden secret patterns across the air, then turned around and rushed directly into the red light layer, flying quickly towards the periphery of the evil vortex.

Wang Xiu turned into a stream of golden light and flew out directly from the core of the vortex.

He didn't go anywhere else, but directly dug a cave on the rock wall of the huge pit.

With his current strength, in just a moment, a decent cave appeared in front of Wang Xiu.

"Not bad, but lacks some decorations." Wang Xiu glanced at the cave in front of him and nodded with satisfaction, "But it doesn't matter. I can't stay here for long anyway."

Wang Xiu waved his hand and a stream of energy came out, which rolled up all the dust on the ground, and then flew out of the cave under the control of Wang Xiu's mental power.

Wang Xiu randomly found a place and sat down cross-legged. He took out a Blood Crystal from the space ring, then cut open his palm and began to fuse it.

The murderous aura and killing will contained in the Blood Luo Crystal was easily resisted by Wang Xiu, and then the power of Blood Luo began to merge into Wang Xiu's body.

chi chi chi...

All the muscles in his body were shaking.

"Crack!" Wang Xiu's expression changed slightly, but he held on and even looked down at the Blood Luo Crystal in his palm. The Blood Luo Crystal had become transparent, and the power of Blood Luo had completely transformed in his body and was undergoing the final step.

"It's just the last bit, just the last bit!" Wang Xiu frowned, sensing his whole body.

The muscles and bones seemed to be compressed to the limit and made crackling sounds, as if they would break at any time. The pressure caused by the blood power integrating into every muscle, tendon and bone cell was also getting greater and greater.

With the incorporation of the last bit of Xue Luo's power, the pressure finally weakened and disappeared rapidly like the receding tide.

Wang Xiu's body was already covered with scales, but the scales on his body quickly disappeared.

"Success!" A hint of joy flashed in Wang Xiu's eyes.

The fusion of three Blood Luo Crystals is called a Blood Warrior in the Blood Luo World Cup, and the fusion of ten Blood Luo Crystals is called a Black Warrior.

If the Blood Warrior is a symbol of genius in the Xueluo world, then the Black Warrior is a legend!
A legendary existence!

Even the Virtual Universe Company, in the trial missions given to geniuses like Yu Xiangshan, only requires the fusion of three Blood Luo Crystals to obtain the Blood Warrior Badge, in order to obtain 100,000 points.

You can see how difficult it is.

"But this is really difficult." After coming to his senses and calming down, Wang Xiu couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder black warriors are just legends in Xueluo Continent."

He had felt before that his body had reached its limit and he had almost failed.

With his physical strength, and the fact that his body was almost transformed to the limit by the hazy golden light at the core of the evil vortex, it was still so difficult.

As for other people, forget it.

"But I succeeded in the end. Now it's time to test my strength." A hint of madness suddenly flashed in Wang Xiu's eyes.

"The power of blood!"

boom!
Wang Xiu's mind moved, and the blood power hidden in his body erupted.

There was a faint hint of gold on the surface of his entire body, and there was a hint of light gold in his eyes.

At the same time, his whole body became slightly thinner, like fine steel, more refined.

At this moment, Wang Xiu... doesn’t look like a human being, but more like a peerless ferocious beast that exudes true dominance.

"Under the power of Xue Luo, my genes undergo a transformation. My physical strength increases tenfold, and my compatibility with the ten original laws also increases tenfold." Wang Xiu was extremely surprised.

After strengthening his body so many times, Wang Xiu's physical strength is already five or six times that of the ninth level of the cosmic grade, plus the physical talent of the Iron Armored Dragon clan he obtained on Earth before (doubled his strength).

Wang Xiu's physical strength directly increased to more than ten times that of an ordinary ninth-level cosmic-grade cultivator, and was already comparable to some cultivators who had just entered the domain lord level.

Now with the tenfold blessing of Xueluo's power, Wang Xiu's strength has surged again.

Now, his power alone is comparable to that of an ordinary fourth or fifth level domain lord.

If he unleashed his full strength, even a Domain Lord at the peak of the ninth level would not be a match for Wang Xiu.

Even facing the Realm Master, Wang Xiu is capable of fighting.

Of course, they are the indigenous world masters in the Xueluo world, and their realm cannot be too high.

Otherwise, if a realm master at the peak level were placed in front of Wang Xiu, even if he was just a realm master without any profound inheritance in the Xue Luo world, even if Wang Xiu's strength had greatly increased now, he would be at a loss.

Not to mention those powerful realm masters in the universe who have profound inheritance.

Especially those realm masters in the original secret realm of the virtual universe company, each one is more powerful than the other.

Although everyone in the realm of Realm Master claims to be the Realm Master, the gap between them may be even greater than the gap between humans and dogs.

Some realm masters can use their status as realm masters to defeat the immortals.

However, some realm masters may be killed when facing a ninth-level domain master.

The fact that Wang Xiu can now fight a first or second level realm master who is a native of the Xue Luo Continent on equal terms already shows that he has a high level of comprehension of the laws.

After all... Wang Xiu is only at the cosmic level now.

"From now on, I will be able to search for Blood Crystals faster." Wang Xiu was very satisfied, "It will also be easier to comprehend the laws."

"It's time to leave here." Wang Xiu stood up. This cave was opened up by him temporarily and he didn't have any feelings for it.

Leaving at this moment was also quick and decisive.

……

Outside the eighteenth layer of clouds in the Xueluo World, the Sky Sword was suspended in the void.

In the command room.

"Tianjian, continue with the previously preset target plan." Wang Xiu casually ordered while looking at the screen in front of him.

"Okay, Master. According to the goal we set earlier, our next stop is Sands City, and we expect to arrive there in fifteen hours."

The flight of the spacecraft is controlled by its own intelligent system, so Wang Xiu doesn't have to think too much.

Although it was only a dozen hours, Wang Xiu planned to continue living like this for a long time in the future.

Hurry on the road, search for Blood Crystal, and then continue on the road.

Ten hours at a time, but what about ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times or even tens of thousands of times?

Accumulating this amount of time, it would be a very long time, so Wang Xiu naturally couldn't waste it. He directly connected his consciousness to the virtual universe network and began to comprehend the laws and practice swordsmanship.

Before entering the Xueluo world, Wang Xiu had already comprehended the mysteries of the first forty kinds of space laws, and the Nine Swords Master also specially demonstrated the mysteries of the latter space laws for him.

With the help of "Heart Mark" and "Tian Yan", Wang Xiu comprehended the 72 mysterious laws of space origin contained in the third picture of the Heart Mark Chaos Monument with extremely high efficiency.

Wang Xiu had a premonition that he was about to comprehend the mystery of the 41st law of the origin of space!

Soon, fifteen hours passed in a flash.

"Master, the spaceship has arrived above Jinsha City." The voice of the spaceship's intelligent sky sword echoed in the command room.

Wang Xiu opened his eyes and turned into a ray of golden light and flew out of the spaceship, breaking through layers of clouds and mist and flying towards the direction of Jinsha City below.

Soon, not long after, Wang Xiu returned to the Tianjian again.

"Go to the next target." After Wang Xiu simply gave an order, he once again immersed himself in the understanding of the original laws of the universe.

……

The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, thirty years had passed.

Wang Xiu’s understanding of the laws became deeper and deeper, and the amount of Blood Crystals in his space ring increased.

Wang Xiu had understood most of the 72 cosmic space laws in the third picture of the Heart Mark Chaos Monument. According to his own estimation, it might be difficult for him to pass the tenth level of Tongtian Bridge with his current understanding of the laws, but the ninth level should be easy.

There is no way around it. The difficulty of Tongtian Bridge increases dramatically every three levels, and the gap between each level becomes more terrifying as you go further back.

The gap between the ninth and tenth floors of Tongtian Bridge is completely incomparable to that between the eighth and ninth floors.

Wang Xiu estimated that in order to pass the tenth level of Tongtian Bridge, he would have to fully comprehend the third picture of the Heart Mark Chaos Monument.

Ancient Liang World City.

In a quiet courtyard.

"It's time to leave." Wang Xiu said to himself as he looked at the palm-sized, dark-colored Blood Luo Medal in his hand, which was engraved with ancient palace patterns.

He stayed here for three months just for the Blood Luo Medal, just to make his identity more legitimate.

After all, to obtain the Blood Luo Medal, one must deal with the Realm Master.

Wang Xiu didn't want to expose his identity at the last minute.

Although Wang Xiu was not very afraid of a realm master, this was after all in the other party's lair, and who knew what the other party had up his sleeve.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiu flipped his palm, and the Blood Luo Medal instantly disappeared in his hand. Then he controlled the muscles and bones of his face. Although the changes in his facial features were very small, it was enough to conceal something in front of unfamiliar people.

Soon, Wang Xiu successfully left the Guliang World City and turned into a golden light that soared into the sky.

"Although it's a bit troublesome, it's still worth it." Wang Xiu couldn't help but smile when he thought of the 100,000 points he would get after completing the task, as well as the Blood Crystal in the space ring.

For thirty years, Wang Xiu worked diligently every day. Apart from practicing, he also collected Blood Luo Crystals from all over the place.

Up to now, Wang Xiu has collected 15420 Blood Luo Crystals.

The price given by the Virtual Universe Company for one Blood Crystal is six hundred points.

In other words, Wang Xiu now has a huge sum of more than 9 million points.

This was enough for Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu has stayed in the Xueluo World for thirty years, which is a very long time for a dangerous mission.

In a hundred years, Wang Xiu can only take on ten tasks at most.

On average, a mission lasts only ten years.

Wang Xiu is not like Luo Feng, who can comprehend the ancient images of the Beast God in the Xueluo world and accelerate the efficiency of his comprehension of the laws.

If the Blood Luo Crystal hadn’t been valuable, and if Wang Xiu hadn’t obtained the Blood Luo Medal before, he would have left long ago.

Now that he had the Blood Luo Medal in hand, Wang Xiu naturally no longer wanted to stay here any longer.

……

Sky Sword, in the command room.

Wang Xiu looked back at the endless vast continent behind him, feeling a little conflicted: "Should I go and say goodbye to Luo Feng?"

Luo Feng came here probably fifteen years after he came to the Xueluo world.

After Luo Feng came to the Xueluo world, Wang Xiu met with him, gave him a copy of the information he had collected, and then the two parted ways.

Of course, this information is all information that can be collected openly.

Wang Xiu had no intention of being with Luo Feng. Anyway, with Luo Feng's strength and clones, he would be like a fish in water in this Xue Luo Continent, not to mention being completely safe.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Xiu shook his head.

"Forget it, the Xueluo world is so big, and we don't know where he is now."

"Just tell him in the virtual universe network."

The next moment, the Tianjian, which had been stationary in the void, changed direction and flew towards the Tianshi Palace in the distance.

……

In the distant mist-filled void, an extremely tall palace is suspended. This is the Celestial Eclipse Palace.

Just because of the existence of this palace, many powerful people in the Xueluo World have not dared to come out from the endless ancient times to the present, and can only huddle in the Xueluo World.

Whoosh!
The Eclipse Palace in the void is larger than an ordinary planet. At this moment, a tiny thing flew out from the Eclipse Palace and quickly approached Wang Xiu’s Tianjian spaceship. It was a triangular black spaceship with a diameter of about 800 meters.

"drop!"

"Hi, Your Highness Wang Xiu, hello. I am 'Moyuke', the guide of the Sky Eclipse Palace. Congratulations to Your Highness Wang Xiu on completing your training in the Xue Luo World." When the spaceship approached the Tianjian, it sent a message directly. Soon, under the guidance of this spaceship, Wang Xiu arrived at a vast hall on the first floor of the Sky Eclipse Palace.

This hall is approximately thousands of kilometers long and wide.

Wang Xiu collected the Tianjian spaceship and stood in the hall in amazement. There were densely packed spaceships parked in the hall, occupying almost half of the hall's area.

According to Wang Xiu's eyesight, every spaceship is at least an E-class spaceship, and he can even see an F-class spaceship.

"Your Highness Wang Xiu." The world master Murlock, who was wearing a silver battle suit, had six eyes and blue skin and was leading the way. He spoke fluent universal language in a slightly high-pitched voice, "It's amazing that you have stayed in this blood bath world for 80 years."

"It's mainly for the Blood Warrior mission." Wang Xiu said with a smile as he walked.

Unlike the Bloodbath World, although there are many races in the Bloodbath World, most of them look normal.

However, the human race in the universe is too vast, with countless races and shapes.

"Blood Warrior Mission? His Highness Wang Xiu completed it?" Merlock was surprised.

"Yeah!" Wang Xiu nodded.

"Wow, congratulations to His Highness Wang Xiu." Merlock laughed, "I have received many geniuses here who went to carry out training missions, even geniuses from the Giant Axe Fighting Arena and the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, but only a few of them can become blood warriors."

"Because in order to fuse the three Blood Bath Crystals, one usually has to stay in the Ancient God Ruins for a long time, and many people don't have that patience. And the Ancient God Ruins are very dangerous."

Wang Xiu nodded.
