Chapter 556 Blood and Flesh Refining God

As the enemy attacked during this critical moment, the Ten Thousand Laws Incarnation cast aside its hesitation. It unleashed a Secret Technique, pouring its own Vitality into Zhao Xuanqi and Ling.

Zhao Xuanqi felt a scorching energy flood his body, filling him with a terrifying, swelling sensation. It was as if every single cell had been activated by this power, allowing him to break far beyond his current limits. His body could barely contain the force; fine beads of sweat mixed with blood seeped from his pores.

He immediately guided this vast stream of Vitality. In an instant, his internal organs churned and he achieved Unity of Body and Mind, shattering the bottleneck of the Harmony realm and beginning his advance toward an even higher state.

Transformation Secret Skill, Hundred Dragon Acupoints Method, Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Acupoints!!

BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!!

Aided by the influx of Vitality, acupoint after acupoint was temporarily forced open, releasing the immense potential hidden within his body.

However, this method relied on external force. Once the Vitality dissipated, the acupoints were bound to close again, and there would likely be a significant backlash on his body.

But in the current situation, such a price was nothing. If he could successfully hunt an Innate Level Martial Artist, the reward would outweigh any and all costs.

However, forcefully opening the Hundred Dragon Acupoints, even with the support of such immense Vitality, still required time. It couldn’t be accomplished in an instant, which was something Zhao Xuanqi had not anticipated.

After all, he had never encountered this kind of Secret Technique before.

Ling, on the other hand, was faring much better than Zhao Xuanqi. The Hundred Flowers Dao she cultivated gave her exceptional control over Vitality. As soon as the Vitality from the Ten Thousand Laws Incarnation entered Zhuang Li’s body, she instantly converted and absorbed it like a bottomless pit, causing her realm to skyrocket temporarily.

"Another incarnation? Is this... a method of transferring Vitality? It actually gave up on using a Forbidden Secret Technique itself and instead pinned its hopes on two others?"

"Interesting. How very interesting. But in my presence, such struggles are utterly futile!"

Just as the pair was absorbing the Vitality from the Ten Thousand Laws Incarnation, Gan Ming spotted them. He rushed over, closing to within two hundred meters. A sinister, vicious light flared in his cyan and red eyes. His pupils spun abruptly as veins bulged around his eye sockets and a series of bizarre runes materialized.

Cyan and Red Ghost Pupils—Inverse Element!!

In that instant, the Natural Primordial Qi within a ten-meter radius of the trio trembled and twisted, forming a swirling vortex.

This power was on a completely different level from the casual glance he had given Xu Jingtian’s group. This terrifying force could twist and reverse even the Primordial Qi unleashed by the Ten Thousand Laws Incarnation’s Innate-level attacks.

His eyes were not from a Martial Artist, but from a special A-Class Evil Spirit. They could not only perceive the flow of the surrounding Natural Primordial Qi but also use a special ability to distort it within a specific area just by looking at it.

By identifying weak points in the Primordial Qi and distorting them with his gaze, he could neutralize most Primordial Qi attacks or even kill his opponents without ever lifting a finger.

The Primordial Qi around the trio twisted violently. The Ten Thousand Laws Incarnation was in the process of transferring Vitality and unable to act. Zhao Xuanqi had his entire Spirit focused on channeling the Vitality to break through the barriers of the Hundred Dragon Acupoints, leaving him unable to spare any attention.

Fortunately, Ling absorbed the Vitality at an incredible speed and soon reached the limit of Zhuang Li’s body.

’Only close to the peak of the Sensing realm... This body’s foundation is just too weak... And the Cultivation Technique isn’t a perfect match, either.’

Ling’s expression shifted slightly. Previously, Zhuang Li had been resistant, unwilling to cultivate the Secret Transmission of the Hundred Flowers Dao. Only after the Ghost City incident, after feeling her own powerlessness amidst the world’s treacherous currents, did she begin to accept Ling’s teachings. The only reason this body could handle enough Vitality to reach this level of power was due to the technique’s inherent, powerful control over Vitality.

No matter how high her own essential realm was, she was now a master craftsman without her tools.

The reality of the situation, however, left her no time for contemplation. The terrifying vortex of distorted Primordial Qi from the Cyan and Red Ghost Pupils was already upon them.

Cyan Lotus—Bloom!!

She let out a low cry as a deep green light of Primordial Qi burst from her body. With her at its center, a cyan lotus several meters in diameter bloomed into existence. Her Technique instantly dispersed the attack of distorted Primordial Qi, shielding everyone within the lotus. However, the pressure was relentless, and the Cyan Lotus began to warp. It was obvious that the power of her opponent’s ability far surpassed the peak of the Sensing realm.

"How are you doing?"

Ling asked Zhao Xuanqi in a low voice. In this situation, it would be difficult for her to contend with an Innate Level opponent on her own. After all, the lower realms of the Hundred Flowers Dao weren’t suited for direct combat; otherwise, she would never have needed to team up with Zhao Xuanqi in the first place.

"I need some time. About twenty seconds."

Zhao Xuanqi replied, diverting a fraction of his Spirit to speak to Ling.

’Twenty seconds?’

Ling took a deep breath. Their opponent wasn’t about to give them that much time. Even as she resisted the distorting force on the Primordial Qi, Gan Ming’s figure appeared right in front of them.

"Looks like the other one ran into a bit of trouble? As much as I’d love to properly test your strength, my orders are to take you alive. Capturing you one by one is the safest bet!"

A smile touched the corners of Gan Ming’s mouth. His cyan and red demonic pupils flared, continuing to distort the Primordial Qi. At the same time, his mouth opened slightly, and an invisible vibration erupted, pulsing toward Ling.
