Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Blood Slaughter Demon Devouring Technique
Zhong Lin held the treasure flower in his hand, carefully feeling the power contained within.
Even though it grew within the blood pool, formed by absorbing blood, the entire flower displayed a flawless white color, like a jade sculpture. If not for the unique texture of the plant, it could have been mistaken for a jade art piece.
The books he had read contained no record of it, but the power contained within let Zhong Lin know that if he consumed it, his aptitude and power would be greatly enhanced, creating a strong desire to devour it on the spot.
“No rush, consuming it this way would be too wasteful. I should first see if it can be refined into an elixir to fully utilize the power of this treasure flower. Heavenly materials and earthly treasures that grow using the blood of Sealing King level demon beasts are rare and should not be wasted.”
With a thought, he took out a jade box and placed the treasure flower inside, then stored it in his storage bracelet.
Beside him, Gu Chen also showed a touch of disappointment, but quickly adjusted his emotions.
“Master, the Wuhuang Holy Tower is about to appear, should we go ahead?” Gu Chen asked.
Zhong Lin frowned slightly: “How do you know this?”
“Master, you may not be aware, but there have been signs in the center of the secret realm indicating the appearance of the Wuhuang Holy Tower. The Wuhuang Holy Tower is Wuhuang’s Heavenly Destiny Imperial Artifact, and it’s likely that the Wuhuang Inheritance is hidden inside. Many martial artists are already heading there.”
Zhong Lin pondered for a moment and said, “No hurry, even if the Wuhuang Holy Tower appears, it won’t be entered so quickly to obtain the inheritance. You first act as my protector while I cultivate a martial art here using the blood pool.”
Gu Chen was surprised to hear this, curious about what kind of martial art required the blood pool for cultivation and whether the blood pool could actually be used for cultivation.
“Yes.”
Zhong Lin did not explain further to Gu Chen, stepping directly into the center of the blood pool.
As Zhong Lin entered, countless Blood Evil forces surged towards him, but they could not come within three feet of him, all blocked outside.
Zhong Lin sat cross-legged in the void.
“System.”

On the System interface under the “Skills” category, a cultivation technique called “Blood Slaughter Demon Devouring Technique” was prominently displayed, suggesting it was a demon path technique.
Indeed, this cultivation technique was obtained by Zhong Lin from Gao Ran in the Xuan Gui Continent.
The “Blood Demon Technique,” which periodically appeared in the Xuan Gui Continent, originated from this technique—the Blood Slaughter Demon Devouring Technique is the complete version.
This technique was inherited from the Blood Flower Realm, then modified by a demon path expert into the current Blood Slaughter Demon Devouring Technique, far surpassing the Heavenly Level Top Grade, and if mastered, allows one to devour the blood essence of living beings for cultivation.
Bear in mind that blood essence is the root of life; to steal another’s blood essence for cultivation is extremely cruel, but it allows for rapid cultivation.
The demon path focuses on cultivation speed and power, using other’s blood essence to nurture oneself; with sufficient killing power, one can quickly gain immense combat strength.
Zhong Lin had been curious about demon path techniques, thus obtained this technique from Gao Ran, and evolved it to full level with the System interface, but he had never cultivated it.
While this demon path technique that allows one to absorb others’ blood essence to nurture oneself is indeed formidable, it is not without flaws.
The spiritual origin cultivated by this technique is highly corrosive, and the initial cultivation speed is extremely fast since it plunders others without needing any resources, forming at least a Fifth Grade or higher Xuandan. But post-Xuandan, flaws emerge in its cultivation.
The blood evil spirit origin cultivated by the Blood Slaughter Demon Devouring Technique is different from the middle-ground and harmonious spiritual origin of righteous martial artists, strongly opposing Yin Evil and Yang Evil, which are essential seed forces for breaking through the Yin Yang Realm. Without these two forces to temper the Xuandan and perceive Yin Yang, breaking through the next realm is impossible.
There are only two ways to attempt a breakthrough.
One is to venture to the Blood Flower Realm and utilize its unique Blood Essence Qi to achieve the breakthrough.
The second is to use great willpower and fortune to forcibly compress one’s blood evil, transforming it to replace Yin and Yang Evil, and then use this for breakthrough.
However, blood evil cannot compare to heavenly evil energy—even if one breaks through the Yin Yang Realm, their combat power will always be inferior.
Neither method is ideal, and the likelihood of entering the Blood Flower Realm is virtually impossible, exposing the Blood Demon Clan’s malicious intent in propagating this technique to control the martial artists of Qingyuan World.
The latter method may prolong one’s lifespan through breakthrough, but every step of cultivation will be arduously difficult, with combat power far below peers.
Thus, cultivating the Blood Slaughter Demon Devouring Technique is akin to killing the goose that lays golden eggs for martial artists, ruining their prospects.
Zhong Lin studied the Blood Slaughter Demon Devouring Technique mainly to uncover its secrets and find weaknesses in demon martial artists.
However, not without benefits—while the Blood Slaughter Demon Devouring Technique is a poison released by the Blood Demon Clan to control the human clan martial artists, such poison can become a spiritual medicine if used correctly.
Take the current blood pool, for example.
The blood pool, which is naturally useless to ordinary people, can be harnessed by Zhong Lin through the Blood Slaughter Demon Devouring Technique to extract the force contained within. This blood pool was left behind by a Sealing King level demon beast, and although most power has been absorbed by the treasure flower, it remains vast.
If maneuvered correctly, refining the blood evil power within can yield purest strength.
Zhong Lin lacks no refining method—the Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill possesses techniques of Five Elements Rotation, mutual generation, and restraint; the Innate Thunder Method inherently suppresses such gloominess. The challenge was how to extract the strength within.
Now, the Blood Slaughter Demon Devouring Technique has perfectly resolved that issue.
As he pondered, he sat cross-legged, releasing a thread of spiritual origin, beginning operation along the Blood Slaughter Demon Devouring Technique path.
Instantly, blood light surged around Zhong Lin, exuding an aura of bloodlust, brutality, and ruthlessness from his body.
“As expected of a demon path technique; even the most resolute individuals cultivating this will eventually be mentally destroyed by this malevolent thought, becoming blood slaves. The Blood Demon Clan… truly are skilled indeed!”
Zhong Lin had already comprehended the spirit domain, naturally indifferent to this malevolent thought. His mind flickered, as a flash of sword light swept through his mind, easily obliterating it.
