Perfect World

Chapter 702: Chapter 702: Success
 

Bright red light circulated, Shi Hao sat cross-legged among a patch of Blood Spirit Grass, consuming one plant after another, his body glistening like blood diamonds, filled with a mysterious power.

At this moment, his body felt like it was going to split open, his blood glowing and bones booming as if they were about to ignite; his flesh was on the verge of exploding.

This strange herb indeed was not suitable for other races; its medicinal nature was overbearing, forcefully refining it could destroy the body’s vitality and balance, leading to explosive death.

The aroma of Blood Spirit Grass was extremely rich, Shi Hao endured the severe pain, suppressing this transformation, with every inch of his flesh sparkling with Primal Bone Texts, blocking the tendency of his own body to disintegrate.

Yun Xi stood guard by his side; speaking now was too late, and moreover, he was very stubborn and would not heed advice.

“What a domineering medicinal nature, it’s really formidable,” Shi Hao muttered through clenched teeth. His skin erupted in a scarlet brilliance like firelight, it was his blood qi steaming, about to set his soul on fire.

He continued to suppress, as he sat there amidst the pungent aroma of the medicine, utilizing various powers to suppress himself and ensure his flesh remained intact.

“Can you expel the medicinal nature and not force yourself like this, it’s too dangerous,” Yun Xi said.

“It’s alright!” Shi Hao gritted his teeth; up to now, including the previously consumed Blood Spirit Grass, he had consumed over one hundred and fifty plants in total.

His skin was fresh red like blood, a mysterious power was about to dissolve him, his bones were also the same, accompanied by a terrifying demonic force about to break.

“Hold on!” he persisted, adapting to these changes.

It was said that even the Ape Demon, when devouring Blood Spirit Grass, would feel pain, but due to their unique physique, they could ultimately absorb the medicine completely and transform themselves.

Shi Hao’s gaze was profound as he sat there, his body trembling. Given his strong physique’s reaction, one could imagine the kind of pain he endured.

In the past, some Primordials had eaten over a hundred Blood Spirit Grasses and began coughing blood, eventually their flesh exploding and divine souls catching fire.

But now, he had pushed this limit to a hundred and fifty, which was astounding and shocking.

“Pop!”

A slight sound, Shi Hao’s shoulder burst open, a burst of blood bloomed, quite tragic. Luckily, the wound was not large, only about the size of a baby’s fist, not a serious injury.

However, this was a trend, a very unfavorable change; when this injury emerged, that arm spasmed, and then continuous bursts of blood occurred.

“Suppression!”

Shi Hao roared lowly, the Unique Cave Heaven condensed, suppressing the entire arm, characters dazzling, crystal clear, stabilizing the wound.

“Do you really want to mimic the Ape Demon, bearing all the medicinal nature, forcibly changing yourself? You must know, your physiques are completely different,” Yun Xi became even more worried.

“My physical body is even stronger than that of the Ape Demon, why can’t I do it, I definitely can,” Shi Hao muttered, though the corners of his mouth twisted because it was too painful.

At this moment, his entire body was at risk of exploding, some veins protruding on his body surface like divine serpents, ready to burst.

“Crack!”

It was the same for his bones, nearly breaking, constantly cracking and bursting with intense light within his body.

A mysterious power from his skin to his flesh and then to his bones kept impacting, making him feel an unbearable intense pain.

“Pfft!”

He coughed up blood, exceedingly bright, and multiple cracks appeared on his body, the situation was terrible.

Shi Hao shouted lowly, divine light circulated inside him, covered with characters, one after another small cauldrons appeared, flowing in his blood, and then trembled, he himself seemed to have transformed into a large cauldron.

This was a method he comprehended in the spirit transformation realm; his body could transform into a dao clock, cauldrons, a Divine Sword, etc., and now transformed into a cauldron, the most stable, protecting his body.

Moreover, with the body as a cauldron, combined with the Cave Heaven outside his body, it formed an unshakable whole, effectively preventing the deterioration of his wounds.

Even so, Shi Hao was still bleeding all over, he was doing his best to combat, adapting to these changes, absorbing the dreadful medicinal nature.

Two days and two nights passed, Shi Hao made it through, that intense pain began to lessen, he absorbed the mysterious medicinal nature, adapting to this tribulation.

“This… is a miracle!” Yun Xi exclaimed.

Shi Hao had consumed over one hundred and fifty Blood Spirit Grasses in total, surpassing the records set by previous Primordials, and he survived unscathed in the end.

He silently comprehended, then asked Yun Xi to attack him with character light to test it, and it indeed worked!

“The attack on my mana was weakened!”

Although not immune, it was still astounding. In a major battle, this would undoubtedly be gaining advantage while diminishing the opponent’s mana attack, giving a significant upper hand.

“The fire isn’t enough,” Shi Hao murmured, looking ahead at the fields of Blood Spirit Grass, with at least another hundred plants, but further consumption would truly be dangerous.

However, he decided to continue, challenging his limits, to see how much more he could refine.

“One hundred fifty-six, one hundred fifty-seven…”

Shi Hao silently noted down, starting to consume Blood Spirit Grass again, challenging himself, hoping he could achieve mana immunity.

Yun Xi wore a worried look, knowing she couldn’t persuade him. She could only silently watch and protect this life-saving benefactor.

After a day and a night, Shi Hao increased the number to two hundred, and finally, danger appeared, his flesh cracked, divine soul glowing, ready to ignite.

He emitted a low roar, imprinted the Primal True Solution in his heart, manifesting the Myriad Spirits Diagram, using Bone Texts from the True Solution to forge the Myriad Spirits Diagram, densely covering his flesh.

His body covered in blood, cracked and healed, this medicinal nature really was immensely damaging to beings other than the Ape Demon tribe, hard to endure.

“Crack!”

Shi Hao’s chest, a bone broke, protruding from his flesh, extremely terrifying. Moreover, the flowing blood didn’t fall to the ground but burned in the void, the temperature intense and horrifying.

“No!”

Yun Xi exclaimed, holding the precious mirror, shining a divine light, fixing Shi Hao’s body, helping him stop the deterioration of his wounds.

“It’s truly terrifying.” Shi Hao muttered to himself as the Unique Cave Heaven shrank, nearly suppressing him at the surface of his body, just barely enveloping him to prevent his physical form from further disintegration.

At the same time, he used the Myriad Spirits Diagram constructed from the Bone Text in the True Solution to manifest within his body and suppress himself.

Like this, another day and night passed, and Shi Hao managed to hold on. Finally, everything stabilized; the boiling blood calmed, and his physical body no longer cracked and emitted light.

“To have pushed the limit to two hundred!” Yun Xi didn’t know what to say; it was astonishing—a terrifying new record.

This time, Shi Hao didn’t act rashly. He sat cross-legged there, regulating his body, returning himself to optimal condition.

Half a day later, he began to test his results and had Yun Xi attack him.

“It worked!” Shi Hao was excited; the first wave of attacks was ineffective against him, all resolved—immune to mana.

However, the second wave didn’t work that way. He returned to normal, and mana invaded his body.

He sat cross-legged, cultivating there, resting for a while, and tried again; the results were the same, the first wave immune to mana, but from the second wave on, it could invade.

“This…” Yun Xi was shocked; he indeed acquired such an ability, too contrary to nature. Once word got out, it would definitely shock various sects.

“That’s all it can be, not an Ape Demon after all.” Shi Hao muttered to himself. Even so, he was quite satisfied. Just having the first wave of mana ineffective against him allowed him to accomplish much!

“Continue, keep ingesting it, and see what other effects there are.” Shi Hao’s gaze was profound.

However, starting from the 201st Blood Spirit Grass, it seemed ineffective against him, not harming his body at all, with the medicine’s tyranny not manifesting.

Thus, Shi Hao kept consuming, picking all the remaining Blood Spirit Grass. In total, he had refined more than two hundred seventy stalks.

After consuming a large amount, indeed, there were still some effects, but very subtle. Shi Hao’s final test found that he was still immune to the first wave of mana, with no further breakthroughs possible.

“Incredible, you actually acquired such an ability!” Yun Xi exclaimed, divine light shining in her beautiful eyes.

“Pretty average, but at least some results were achieved.” Shi Hao smiled.

Afterward, they left that place and entered deeper into the ancient and boundless battlefield, hiding as suggested by Yun Xi. For now, delaying was most crucial, waiting for the revival of the Celestials Clan’s Archaic Ancestors.

Otherwise, with their abilities, trying to cross to Heavenly Province was unrealistic. The entire Scarlet Plains was locked down, filled with murderous intents.

“They’ve come, they’ve tracked us down again.”

Two days later, Shi Hao and Yun Xi looked up and saw a group of fierce birds circling the sky, their expressions serious, unable to shake them off.

It was still the creatures of the Hundred Birds Mercenary Group, led by the Archaic Golden Crow and a Red Cloud Bird, circling in the high sky and coming in this direction.

“These Green Scaled Eagles are too sensitive. We will eventually be discovered,” Shi Hao sighed softly.

Now their only option was to keep moving forward, choosing a place of great peril, hopefully startling some True God-level creature to counter the creatures of the Hundred Birds Mercenary Group.

“Huh, there are two people.”

Shi Hao noticed, a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on the back of the Archaic Golden Crow and a young man standing on the back of the Red Cloud Bird, looking down at the ground.

“Which race do these two humanoid beings belong to?” Shi Hao found that the two creatures had purple character symbols at their brows, akin to Heavenly Eyes, seemingly able to open.

Aside from that, they were nearly indistinguishable from the human race.

“The Zhan Tribe, it’s them!” Yun Xi’s gaze was cold; she knew that in the ambush against the Celestials Clan’s dao heritage, the Zhan Tribe was definitely a main force because the two races were inherently enemies, with irreconcilable differences.

“Is the Zhan Tribe very powerful?” Shi Hao asked.

“During the Primeval Times, for a certain period, they were ranked among the top ten races, known as—War Emperor Clan, extremely glorious, revered by the world,” Yun Xi explained.

Shi Hao was shocked; to be called an Imperial Clan or royal family in the higher realms was unimaginable glory. Back then, the Celestials Clan had six individuals who evolved to the pinnacle of invincible Celestials to achieve that status.

What foundations did the Zhan Tribe have back then? Anyway, absolutely powerful!

“Bad, they’ve found us.” Shi Hao frowned; the Hundred Birds Mercenary Group was not known for combat strength, but in terms of tracking, they were absolutely top-notch in Mo Province.

Along the way, they had long shaken off the pursuers behind them, but because of them, they had been found again.

“We’ve finally found them.” The one who spoke was not the Archaic Golden Crow or Red Cloud Bird, but the middle-aged man from the Zhan Tribe sitting on the fierce bird.

“The Heavenly Destiny Stone is on you?” The other young man also spoke, distinguished in appearance, with loose black hair and bright eyes, staring at Yun Xi and nodding continuously.

“Zhan Tribe, you are playing with fire, doomed to fail. Once my clan’s Primordial Ancestors revive, you’ll regret this!” Yun Xi said coldly.

“The future is uncertain. Even if that old Celestial can come back to life, there will be people stopping him.” The young Zhan Tribe genius smiled, shook his head, then continued: “You have already merged with the Heavenly Destiny Stone. If forcibly refined, that strange rock’s potency will greatly diminish, truly troublesome.”

He bore a wicked air, corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes contained a golden sheen, and said: “How about you marry into my Zhan Tribe?”

“Dream on!” Yun Xi had only these two words. Her body was graceful, with flowing hair, and her eyes lively. Her overall demeanor was exceptionally beautiful, like a goddess stepping out of a painting, exceptionally arresting.

“I think you’re not bad. Marrying into my Zhan Tribe is a good match.” The young man said flatly.

“Capture them.” At that moment, the middle-aged man from the Zhan Tribe on the Archaic Golden Crow spoke, supremely authoritative.

“Good thing there are no True Gods.” Shi Hao muttered, but even so, it was terrifying. If they really clashed, he would surely perish; the opponent had too many experts.

However, he had one chance to deliver a killing blow, wanting to see just how effective the so-called mana immunity was!

“Who do you want to kill?” Shi Hao was very arrogant, asking Yun Xi, letting her decide.

“Unaware of imminent death!” In the sky, a group of fierce birds and the two Zhan Tribe experts all sneered.

“Kill the Zhan Tribe!” Yun Xi said, blurting out, with generations of enmity between the sides.

“Kill us?” The young man from the Zhan Tribe threw back his head and laughed, shook his head, his eyes cold yet murderous, and said: “I won’t kill you; I’ll take you back to my tribe for marriage. The so-called mandate from humans to Celestials will happen in my Zhan Tribe.”

The middle-aged Zhan Tribe powerhouse nodded, saying, “A girl fused with the Heavenly Destiny Stone, marrying into my Zhan Tribe, it would surely be an interesting sight when the Celestials Clan finds out.” (To be continued.
