Chapter 372 – What to Do? Of Course, It's Bloodletting!

“Why are you suddenly telling me this?”

Qin Yang furrowed his brow, warily examining the Beast God within the formation, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes.

He recalled how, in the past, whenever he had asked, this old fellow had refused to divulge even a sliver of information.

Yet today, as if the sun had risen from the west, he was voluntarily offering the method to break through?

To help him ascend for free?

Qin Yang couldn’t figure it out.

“This Sovereign merely sees your extraordinary talent and does not wish such a prodigy to be buried in the lower realm.”

The Beast God sensed Qin Yang’s wariness but paid it no mind, a gentle smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with admiration. “Your skills have already transcended the mundane and reached the sublime, and your realm stands unparalleled at the pinnacle of this world. Why cling to these worldly attachments?

Take this Sovereign’s advice.

Only by ascending to the upper realm can you touch higher realms.”

After speaking, the Beast God fell silent.

“Are you saying that to reach the God-Venerable Realm, one must go to the upper realm?”

Qin Yang rested his hand on the hilt of the Ziwei Divine Sword, his brow slightly furrowed:

“Is there really no other path to choose?”

“Hmph, if there were, wouldn’t this Sovereign have already broken through to the God-Venerable Realm?

Why would I waste words with you here?”

Inside the formation, the Beast God snorted disdainfully, extending a finger to draw a long, lingering line of blood in front of him. “This Sovereign uses this line to represent the limitations of your Earth Star.”

“The Star Power in the lower realm is ultimately too sparse, much like this uncrossable red line. Now that you’ve reached the late stage of the Celestial Venerable Realm, you should be able to sense this limitation.

Without sufficient Star Power to sustain you, what use is it even if your realm has reached the God-Venerable level?

If the heavens and earth do not accept you, you’ll be stuck wandering in the Celestial Venerable Realm!”

As he spoke, he glared coldly and rebuked:

“Are you truly content to linger in the Celestial Venerable Realm for the rest of your life, with no hope of advancement?”

“…”

Qin Yang fell silent upon hearing this.

Reaching the God-Venerable Realm and piercing through the heavens—he absolutely had such ambitions.

But the problem was…

To reach the upper realm, one must first open the ten Sky Gate Black Holes.

Once the two realms are connected,

no one could predict what would happen when those from the upper realm descended.

There were far too many variables.

No matter what…

at the very least, the entire Exploding Heavens Gang should advance to a higher realm and make thorough preparations before opening them!

“What’s wrong, Qin Yang? Are you still afraid?”

Seeing the worry on Qin Yang’s face, the Beast God curled his lips into a barely perceptible smile, as if seeing through his thoughts, and once again coaxed persuasively:

“If you’re worried that the upper realm will pose a threat to you, this Sovereign can swear a life-and-death oath to guarantee your safety and personally speak on your behalf to dissuade them.

Not only will none of your Exploding Heavens Gang members face oppression, but they will also enjoy treatment beyond ordinary imagination!”

At this point, the atmosphere had laid everything bare.

A glint of anticipation flashed in the Beast God’s eyes as he awaited Qin Yang’s response.

“Not bad, that proposal sounds quite good.”

Qin Yang nodded slightly, but his expression remained unmoved. He simply gripped the Ziwei Divine Sword, smiling as he looked at the Beast God within the formation:

“I’ll consider it later. Today, I must first finish the task at hand.”

“What are you trying to do now?”

The Beast God frowned, his pupils hidden within the Blood Sea Domain shifting as he scanned the edges of the Demon Sealing Formation, immediately sensing a hostile aura.

They had been conversing perfectly fine just moments ago,

and now you’re turning hostile without warning?

Aren’t you being utterly unreasonable?!

“What else could it be?”Qin Yang smiled faintly, running two fingers along the edge of the Ziwei Divine Sword, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes as his expression abruptly shifted.

“Of course, I’m here to continue draining your blood!”

“Three years apart is one thing, but you still owe me rent for occupying this formation, don’t you?!”

As he spoke, the inscriptions along the edges of the Ten Direction Demon Sealing Array flickered and rapidly spread, activating the remaining subsidiary punishment formations. A brilliant golden light erupted.

Wind and thunder pierced through, sharp Sword Qi crisscrossed the air!

In an instant, the formation became a chaotic storm of wind and clouds, with roaring thunder surging within.

Countless attacks converged, directly assailing the Beast God at the center of the array.

“Ahhh!!!”

Caught off guard, the Beast God let out a pained howl as tens of thousands of Sword Qi blades pierced his body, shattering his flesh and exploding half of it into bloody mist.

“Qin Yang, you madman!”

The Blood Sea Domain activated once more, immediately beginning to repair the lost flesh.

“Gather!”

Qin Yang coldly watched the Beast God’s agonized struggles, seizing the fleeting opportunity to form hand seals and activate the Void Spirit Bottle.

A massive amount of blood was extracted from the Beast God, dispersing into fine threads that eventually converged into the Void Spirit Bottle at his waist. In moments, the porcelain-white surface of the bottle developed vein-like blood vessel patterns.

Spreading, growing.

“Good, just a bit more.”

Qin Yang estimated the bottle’s contents, patiently waiting for it to fill with blood energy.

The Blood Spirit Formation had already been fully supplied.

This bloodletting wasn’t to maintain the formation’s operation.

But for alchemy!

Pills refined from the Beast God’s blood contained astonishing blood fortune—their medicinal efficacy far surpassed that of ordinary pills.

Considering the comprehensive effects, wasn’t the Beast God trapped in the formation essentially a prime ingredient for longevity?

…

Some time later,

The Void Spirit Bottle was full.

Qin Yang returned with a full load, heading back to Fuhai District to begin preparation for refining.

“Master, you’re back!”

As soon as he entered, Xiaobai came trotting over, her fluffy fox tail playfully brushing against him. “Did you bring back something good again?”

“Go clear out the alchemy room for me.”

Qin Yang shook his head with a smile. “No one is allowed near the alchemy room without my permission for the next few days.”

With that, he walked into the house.

………..

Several days later.

The sweltering summer heat in Jianghai City lingered without relief, not a drop of rain in sight.

The asphalt roads were dry and foul-smelling, and the temperature in Fuhai District was even higher than in the outer city areas, like a giant steaming furnace in operation, the moisture in the air distorting.

But at noon,

A refreshing aura suddenly emanated from Fuhai District.

It was as if a gentle breeze had passed through, sweeping away the summer’s oppressive heat.

Accompanied by waves of fragrant pill aroma that filled the entire courtyard.

In the living room,

Liu Wushuang and Elder Li were observing the Law Heart while sitting cross-legged when they were abruptly awakened by this strange disturbance. They sharply turned their heads toward the direction of the alchemy room.

“Is that coming from the Young Gang Leader?”

“Seems like it!” Elder Li’s white eyebrows lifted slightly. “I heard from the Great Fox Spirit earlier that he was refining pills. It looks like he’s succeeded now!”

“Water and wood, so light and ethereal—what a pure pill resonance!”

Liu Wushuang sniffed the pill fragrance in the air but, finding it insufficient, proceeded to fan more of the scent toward his nostrils with his hand.His feet unconsciously carried him toward Qin Yang’s Alchemy Furnace.

“The spirit pill is emerging! The Young Gang Leader has achieved mastery!”

Not long after.

The news spread.

One after another, figures gathered at the entrance of the alchemy room, craning their necks in anticipation, their eyes burning with fervent hope.
