The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 33 Blood and Fire Fighting Skills
Xiao Jun sat cross-legged on the stone platform, with a blood-red flame shadow flickering around him, and the whole person was like a torch.

His hands were constantly making hand seals, using the hand seals to control the qi and thoughts around his body, and quickly refining the fighting spirit. The fighting spirit was integrated into the meridians through several acupoints and breathing techniques around the body, and the meridians were filled with blood-colored flames. The blood-colored flames flowed rapidly in the meridians, carrying the fighting spirit for refining.

In the dantian, the originally yellowish-brown dantian was stained with a thick blood color. Strands of fighting spirit smoothly merged into the dantian and turned into its own nourishment. The fighting spirit vortex became thicker and thicker. The fighting spirit was extracted from the surrounding space, and Xiao Jun refined it with all his strength.

After absorbing Dou Qi, ordinary practitioners would go through a refining process, just like digesting food. However, the phantom of the blood-red flame on Xiao Jun's body had already begun to be refined during the absorption process, directly turning into his own nourishment.

But soon, Xiao Jun felt a dry air emanating from his flesh and blood. This dry air became thicker and thicker, and finally began to interfere with his cultivation of Qi meridians. At this time, the blood-colored flame phantoms around his body dissipated, and the blood-colored flames in the meridians in his body slowly flowed through the meridians and all returned to the Dantian.

Finally, at the center of the Dou Qi vortex within his Dantian, a flame emerged. The flame was a blood-red color, condensed like a solid substance. At this point, Xiao Jun began to breathe deeply, dispelling the dryness within his body. Dryness not only interfered with the flow of Qi and meridians, but also disturbed the mind. Xiao Jun calmed his breath and sensed the dryness.

Open your eyes, take a long breath, and the turbid and dry air will be expelled.

"It will take about half a month for me to become a three-star fighter." Xiao Jun looked at the fighting spirit vortex in his dantian. In the center of the fighting spirit vortex, a blood-red flame was swaying and burning. Every time the fighting spirit vortex rotated a circle, the blood-red flame increased a little.

Xiao Jun stretched out his hand and flicked out his index finger, only to see that within the vortex of Dou Qi, a wisp of blood-red flame instantly flowed along the meridians to the fingertips. On the tip of the index finger, there was a blood-red flame constantly burning, but this flame did not have any heat, only a warmth spreading out.

"The original blood-colored flame was part of the energy of blood, just an ordinary power. I sublimated my fighting skills, comprehended the origin of life, the power of blood, and the driving force of life. The blood fire condensed from the mysteries of blood and qi in my body is essentially the transformation of my life."

Blood is actually the carrier of life and contains the original power of life. Xiao Jun comprehended the mystery of life through medical skills, stole this power, and condensed it into blood and fire.

"This bloody fire has absolutely no lethality, but it contains a very strong vitality, which is very useful for healing and saving lives." Xiao Jun observed the bloody flame and sighed inwardly. This flame can only be used as a means of auxiliary training, and cannot be used as an offensive means. This is disappointing.

With the help of this flame, the efficiency of cultivation can be increased by about 20%, but the side effect is that a large amount of dry air and miscellaneous air will be generated in the body due to the burning of blood and fire. This dry air and miscellaneous air are the fire poison generated by blood and fire. If you want to continue practicing, you need to let the fire poison dissipate.

Xiao Jun looked at the blood and fire before him. Suddenly, he made a decision. He bit through the tip of his tongue with his teeth and used his fighting spirit to force out a bead of blood. After spitting out the bead, Xiao Jun's face turned pale, but he didn't care. He used his fighting spirit to merge the bead into the blood and fire.

But it was like fire meeting gasoline, and in an instant it exploded from a small flame into a huge flame. The blood bead at the core of the flame was shrinking rapidly, and the blood flame was constantly becoming more and more vigorous.

In the end, the blood beads in the blood flame were completely burned out, and the original blood flame also became a circle larger, but Xiao Jun was disappointed, because the temperature of this blood flame was still warm, very gentle and had no power.

"Unfortunately, I used my own blood essence to feed it, and the essence of the blood flame was indeed improved, but it still has no power. However, the improvement of the blood flame essence is also helpful for refining fighting spirit, so my blood essence is not wasted."

Disappointed, he extinguished the blood fire in his hand, and it returned to Xiao Jun's Dantian. He had wasted his blood essence to nourish the blood fire, and needed to cultivate. Blood essence is the precious treasure that carries the essence of life. If too much blood essence is lost, the consequences are extremely serious. Excessive loss of blood essence can reduce cultivation, shorten lifespan, and even destroy the foundation.

However, the essence and blood that Xiao Jun forced out this time would not cause such serious harm. At most, he would need to practice for a period of time, practice the Peiyuan technique to nourish and cleanse his body, and take tonic medicine. He would be able to recover in a few days.

Xiao Jun lay down and took out the scroll "Three Mountains Formation Sutra" from his storage ring, meditating on the restrictions and formations within it. If he could set up a fourth-order Qi Gathering Formation, he would be able to condense the Dou Qi within the world into a thick mist. One day of cultivation within it would be equivalent to four days in the outside world.

According to the formation scriptures, higher-level Qi gathering formations can also turn Dou Qi into clouds, Dou Qi into rain, and Dou Qi into pools.

Allowing Dou Qi to completely condense into liquid for swallowing, these more powerful Qi-gathering arrays are not something that can be created by human power. They require a supreme treasure land and the cooperation of a grandmaster of array formations to form and use. They are the original creation of heaven and earth, and people come to steal them.

Seeing the description of the Dou Qi Pond, Xiao Jun suddenly thought of the Thunder Pond, a pool of water formed by the condensation of endless thunder. However, the thunder's explosive power was powerful, so practicing in the Thunder Pond required extreme caution. However, the dangers of the Thunder Pond did not prevent it from being the supreme treasure land of Dou Qi Continent.

His thoughts began to diverge, and he was using the computing matrix to analyze the formation inheritance inside. The fourth-level formation generally corresponds to the Dou Ling level. If he could understand it thoroughly, it would be an extra trump card for Xiao Jun.

In the process of studying the formation scriptures, Xiao Jun began to understand many of the mysteries in the Douqi Continent. But generally speaking, the formation is to go with the flow, mainly relying on the momentum and force between heaven and earth. The person who sets up the formation has a deep understanding of the objective laws, and the analysis of the formation requires more than just computing power.

Using computing power to forcibly analyze a formation, then mechanically reproducing a solution one problem at a time, is nothing more than a dead formation. Such a formation master can only be called a craftsman, and calling him a formation master is not an exaggeration. A true formation master requires a certain spirituality, a flash of inspiration. Perhaps all they need to do is tweak a few parameters, adapting the formation to the prevailing forces of heaven and earth, so that the formation's power gains the support of heaven and earth, allowing it to reach a certain level of advancement. This requires a great deal of inspiration.

It just so happened that Xiao Jun had been cultivating his state of mind, making the impurities inside his mind extremely few, like clean and clear glass, reflecting the most subtle thoughts at the bottom of his mind and grasping inspiration. Therefore, inspiration has always been endless.

Suddenly, Xiao Jun was inspired to think about the Blood Flame Fighting Skill. The Blood Flame can grow stronger by consuming the body's essence and blood, consuming the body's life source. Unfortunately, it has never been powerful. This ray of inspiration pondered this Blood Flame Fighting Skill and began to look for a way out for the Blood Flame Fighting Skill.

"The Blood Flame Fighting Skill can be increased by consuming my own essence and blood, but what if I devour the essence and blood of other lives?"

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind, like a lightbulb suddenly lit up in his head. Blood flames devouring other lives and amplifying them back into itself? Could this be possible?

Xiao Jun tortured himself like this.

"It's theoretically possible. The essence of blood flame is the driving force of life. It is formed by the condensation of blood and energy. The fuel is blood and the source of life."

Many times, Qi and blood would dissipate, and Xiao Jun would utilize the dissipated Qi and blood, condensing it into blood and fire. Other lives also had their own life essences, and naturally, they could devour their essences through the burning of blood and fire.

"For example, magical beasts, or spiritual plants and trees."

Thinking of this, Xiao Jun suddenly rose from the stone platform. He pushed open the door to his house and walked outside, watching the spiritual herbs he had planted sprout. Thanks to Xiao Jun's meticulous care, nurturing them by observing every wisp of spiritual energy, these herbs were not difficult to grow. However, cultivating them into high-level spiritual materials was more complicated.

Looking at these spiritual herbs, the blood and fire in Xiao Jun's body began to stir, but Xiao Jun decided not to use these spiritual herbs for experiments. He walked to a distance, came to a big tree, stretched out his hand to sense the tree's qi and meridians, closed his eyes and felt it, and used his mind to connect the calculation matrix to comprehend the tree's qi and meridians.

A quarter of an hour passed like this, and the blood and fire escaped from the dantian and merged into the tree along its meridians. The blood and fire spread rapidly, and the vitality in the tree became the fuel and tonic for the blood and fire. Soon, all the meridians contained in the entire tree were burned by the blood and fire.

Fueled by the fighting spirit, the blood and fire spread to every part of the tree, and the entire tree seemed to be enveloped by the shadow of blood-red flames. Xiao Jun sensed that the vitality contained in the tree was being continuously squeezed out, becoming the nourishment of the blood and fire.

During this time, the branches and leaves of the trees continued to wither, and some leaves, having completely drained away the last bit of their life force, turned directly into ash and scattered. Continuing to infuse Dou Qi to fuel the blood flame, eventually, the last wisp of life energy in the trees became the nourishment of the blood flame.

The blood and fire returned to Xiao Jun's dantian, and a fresh essence was emitted from the dantian, which spread from the dantian and merged into his limbs and bones, making up for the loss of Xiao Jun's essence and blood.

"A big tree made up for half of the shortfall. Not bad!" Xiao Jun savored it carefully. In this way, making up for his shortfall would become simple.

However, the power of the blood fire did not increase, it only extracted nutrients and fed them back to Xiao Jun, and his blood essence quickly recovered a part. Seeing this, Xiao Jun thought of a cycle.

Blood and fire draw essence from the outside world to replenish their own essence and blood, and the essence and blood can in turn strengthen their own blood and fire.

The trees, which had lost the last bit of their life force, lost their support and collapsed when the blood and fire were drained away.

It turned into pale ashes and drifted away in the wind.
