Chapter 304 – Extracting Essence Blood, Condensing the Star Mark!

Looking at the Star Mark in his hand, Qin Yang pondered for a moment. The more he looked at it, the more fascinated he became, realizing there were countless ways to utilize it.

“Interesting.”

Since implanting a Star Seal could grant the power of the one who cast it, why not cast a wide net?

In the future, if he took a liking to someone, he could use the pretext of friendship to offer them a couple of manuals in exchange for a drop of their essence blood, saving it for later extraction.

As for those he disliked—like the Supreme Alliance Leader, Nine Heavens Venerable, and the like—why be polite with them?

Once his strength grew, he could just capture them, lock them in the basement, set up a sealing array, and imprison them all, squeezing them dry for free labor!

“Not bad.”

Qin Yang was satisfied. He took out his phone and sent a message to Elder Li, using the Young Gang Leader’s name to request some essence blood for an experiment.

Then he stepped out of the courtyard and asked Li Zixuan and the others for their reserves.

Though puzzled, they didn’t hesitate once they learned Qin Yang’s purpose. Liu Wushuang was especially generous, obsequiously offering a few extra drops…

“Young Gang Leader, if it’s not enough, just ask me. Next time, make sure to let me join the battle!”

Qin Yang: “…”

A short while later, Elder Li arrived at Fuhai District in person, carrying three floral porcelain bottles.

“Young Friend Qin, this is all I have. The Commander and Curator’s essence blood is in here too. Jianghai City is too chaotic lately, and they’re tied up at the Great Li Mountain border, so I had to deliver it myself.”

Elder Li shook the bottles. “Is this enough?”

With the Supreme experts of the Exploding Heavens Gang falling one after another, he felt deeply ashamed. He’d not only offer essence blood but even his life if needed!

“Enough, enough!”

Qin Yang took the small bottles and nodded. “Elder Li, you’re too kind. This is plenty. Later, I’ll prepare some pills—good medicine for replenishing blood and energy. Please take them back as compensation for the Commander and the others.”

Now, with this essence blood, once fused, he could activate the Star Power with a mere thought, and all the Star Power within the recipients would flow back into him.

He didn’t seek long-term gains—only to seize the fleeting moment of glory!

Once his combat power surged, he’d be invincible!

……

……

Two hours later.

The toad moon rose high.

A gloomy valley was shrouded in mist. Outside the valley, deer drank from the stream in the sparse woods, the water murmuring as it flowed. Moonlight shone clearly, and endless dust filled the air.

Under the assault of poisonous miasma, it felt like a ghostly realm of the underworld.

Cloaked in moonlight, Nine Heavens Venerable slowly strode into the valley, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings.

Expensive pills were scattered all over the ground.

At the canyon entrance, Meng Tianxuan sat cross-legged on a central rush cushion, inhaling and exhaling as he guided Star Power from the sky to temper his body.

His robes were still tattered, but his charred skin had restored to a tender, infant-like hue, no different from before.

“How is it, Senior Brother?”

Nine Heavens Venerable’s voice was steady, his face devoid of emotion, as he crushed an empty porcelain bottle underfoot. “You’ve used up all the pills in the valley. I just gave you the last bottle. If you want more, there won’t be any.”

“No matter, it’s enough, Junior Brother!”

Meng Tianxuan pushed himself up from the ground, stretched his arms, and nodded in satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, vast Star Power answered his call.

In an instant, the valley was filled with radiant light.

“My strength hasn’t returned to its peak, but I’ve recovered about seventy to eighty percent. Even if that little bastard Qin Yang shows up, I’ll be able to escape. Not bad.”

As he spoke.He cupped his hands toward Nine Heavens Venerable: “Many thanks, Junior Brother, for saving my life! Those Zhaitian madmen are barbaric. Had it not been for your Chaos Void Shuttle this time, this Senior Brother might have truly fallen into their trap…”

“Hehe.”

Upon hearing this, a strange glint flashed in Nine Heavens Venerable’s eyes. “You flatter me, Senior Brother. We are, after all, fellow disciples… How could I stand by and watch when you’re in danger?

The great plan ahead requires our joint efforts.

Please follow me, Senior Brother.”

Nine Heavens Venerable spoke coldly, leading Meng Tianxuan deeper into the valley.

“I want to show you something.”

“Hmm?”

Meng Tianxuan was taken aback by these words, but seeing Nine Heavens Venerable’s insistence on leading the way, he felt it inappropriate to refuse and simply followed behind him.

The canyon was secluded.

As they ventured further inward,

water seeped from the surrounding rock walls, faintly revealing traces of artificial carving.

Meng Tianxuan approached one of the walls, running his hand over the surface of the rock, his eyes filled with admiration:

“Located in an extremely yin environment, this canyon is truly remarkable, with excellent concealment. I never expected… your Beast God Sect to have such a backup plan?”

“Senior Brother, you praise too highly. This was originally Vermillion Bird’s hiding place.

It is also the sacred sanctuary of our Beast God Sect.”

Nine Heavens Venerable paced with his hands behind his back, leading the way as they gradually penetrated deeper into the valley.

The decorations on the walls on both sides gradually increased.

Human bone flute magical instruments hung down, and a chilly mountain wind blew in from outside the valley. The walls were carved with deities and underworld judges, locked in fierce battles amid fiery clouds. Though partially weathered and damaged, the grandeur of the relief rock paintings could still be discerned.

They were now approaching the secrets of the Beast God Sect.

A different part of human secret history.

When a person dies, the lamp extinguishes; praise and blame are left to others.

After the epic battle five hundred years ago, history diverged. The Supreme Alliance received accounts from surviving human elders, while in the Beast God Sect, it was presented from the perspective of the Black Hole powerhouses.

The deeper they went, the more amazed Meng Tianxuan became. He was well aware of these matters and had conducted similar investigations himself.

But after days of fruitless searching,

he had no choice but to give up.

And now, the puzzle pieces of truth were complete.

Meng Tianxuan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

Looking closely,

the exquisite craftsmanship was vividly carved.

Judging from these traces, they were conservatively estimated to be several hundred years old, clearly depicting that brutal scene. However, the perspective had shifted: humans were portrayed as indigenous barbarians, their wisdom unawakened, while the Black Hole powerhouses appeared in immortal forms, dressed in dark robes and crimson garments, with temples and pavilions stretching for thousands of miles.

“Junior Brother, why are you doing this?”

Meng Tianxuan admired the rock carvings, his thirst for knowledge satisfied, yet he expressed some confusion: “This is already the secret of your Beast God Sect, isn’t it? Is it really appropriate to show it to this Alliance Lord…?”

“Heh, are you still being so formal, Senior Brother?”

Nangong Li walked ahead, his hoarse voice echoing back, lingering faintly between the rock walls.

“Now we’re tied together on the same rope.

What harm is there in letting you see? There’s nothing much to look at anyway—just a bit of weathering and erosion.”

“Long ago, Vermillion Bird Earth Venerable was stationed here. It was I who ordered him to stand by, guarding the valley’s safety, keeping strangers away, and simultaneously monitoring the Beast Tide in Jianghai.”

“I never thought I would allow an outsider in before the celestial beings descended, but unexpectedly…”

As Nine Heavens Venerable walked, he looked up to observe the magical instruments above, a subtle smile flickering at the corner of his mouth:”After twists and turns and through sheer coincidence, we two have now encountered the Exploding Heavens Gang’s bombardment. Heaven-sent fortune has ultimately brought us back here…”

“All of this is truly the will of heaven!”
