Chapter 169: The Return

The Genuine Qi surged aggressively out of Zhang Ruochen’s palm, where he had injected the drop of the Half-Saint’s Blood.

“WHOOSH…”

The Half-Saint’s Blood immediately formed a one-meter long Spiritual Blood snake that flew around Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath and inhaled the Spiritual Blood snake into his body.

“Boom!”

After entering his body, the Spiritual Blood Snake burst out Saint Power as if it was on fire. It caused unimaginable pain to Zhang Ruochen’s five internal organs. The blood in veins felt like it was boiling.

Zhang Ruochen had prepared an Icing Meridians Pill that he quickly swallowed.

The Icing Meridians Pill transformed into frost and flowed into Zhang Ruochen’s body. It protected his five internal organs, Meridians, and Blood Meridian.

“Sacred Purifying Jade!”

Zhang Ruochen referred to the way of practice of the second level as recorded in the Scripture of Emperor Ming’s Empyrean. He activated the 36 Meridians in his body to quickly absorb the Spiritual Blood and Saint Power embedded in the Half-Saint’s Blood.

Spiritual Blood fountained out of his body. It coagulated into a massive, three-meter diameter blood cocoon around Zhang Ruochen.

Three days later, Zhang Ruochen had fully absorbed the Frosty Pill Spirit of the Icing Meridians Pill. The burning power of the Half-Saint’s Blood exploded again, threating to burn Zhang Ruochen into ashes.

Zhang Ruochen took the second Icing Meridians Pill, and another frosty blast poured into his body. Once again, it helped Zhang Ruochen resist the heat of the Half-Saint’s Blood.

Another three days passed. Zhang Ruochen took the third Icing Meridians Pill.

Zhang Ruochen had been constantly absorbing the Spiritual Blood and Saint Power in the Half-Saint’s Blood. Every cell inside his body was filled to bursting.

The martial cultivation of Zhang Ruochen’s martial cultivation had reached a critical point.

“Boom!”

The Qi Lake between his eyes roared aggressively, shaking Zhang Ruochen’s entire body.

The capacity of his Qi Lake was expanding like the opening of a wider world.

His Genuine Qi, which had nearly burst open his body, had found an output and dashed towards Qi Pool insanity. The intolerable sense of swelling eventually disappeared, replaced by an unspeakable comfort.

The capacity of his Qi Lake was 21 times larger.

The Qi Lake of other warriors who had passed from the Final State to the Completion of the Black Realm would usually only enlarge 10 times.

“I think the Saint Power of the Half-Saint’s Blood caused an enhancement in my Qi Lake. Therefore, my Qi Lake was able to grow 21 times larger.”

Indeed, the greater the Qi Lake expansion, the harder it became to refine Genuine Qi.

When Zhang Ruochen was breaking through realms, the capacity of the Genuine Qi inside his body had doubled up. Yet, it was only one-tenth of the capacity of his Qi Lake. He would need to refine nine times more Genuine Qi to fill his newly-expanded pool.

After breaking through the realm, Zhang Ruochen continued sitting cross-legged on the ground and refining the remaining Saint Power and Spiritual Blood in his body.

He spent another five days transforming all the Saint Power in his body into Genuine Qi.

Zhang Ruochen lifted up his hands, drew a circle, and absorbed the blood cocoon that was wrapping around him into his body. The blood light completely disappeared after flashing on his skin.

“I’ve just broken through to the Completion of the Black Realm, so my realm is not stable yet.”

After his realm upgrade, Zhang Ruochen could clearly feel a great elevation of his power. However, he was not strong enough to master such power at the moment.

Anyhow, Zhang Ruochen had not refined the Saint Power and Spiritual Blood himself. Even though he had transformed them into Genuine Qi, it was still relatively hard for him to master the power. He would need to spend some more time to polish up the power and allow the newly added Genuine Qi to blend with
