Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 460 The Blood Bead's Mystery, the Infusion of Laws

Above the starry sea, surrounded by the Milky Way, Li Xijun looked down at the Blood Kun below, whose aura was weak and whose eyes were filled with fear, pain and hysterical madness.

The opponent's desperate attack, capable of tearing apart planets, appeared so pale and powerless before the boundless cascade of light that gathered the power of the universe and stars. In the end, it only resulted in a terrifying wound on his own body that was deep enough to expose bone and severely damaged his very essence.

"fair?"

Li Xijun gently shook his head, his voice coming through the vast starlight, calm to the point of indifference, "From the moment you attacked me, you should have known this day would come."

"Now, it's time to end this."

As soon as he finished speaking, the vast aura that originally resonated with the starry sky and ruled over the stars around Li Xijun suddenly receded. Then, a more profound and ancient Daoist charm, as if it originated from the beginning of all things, awakened and rose from his body!

He slowly raised the Night Emperor Sword Embryo in his hand. The starlight flowing on the sword quietly disappeared, replaced by a state of chaos and uncertainty, a state of mind that seemed to contain the power to open up and end everything.

First, the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man cycled endlessly, and finally, at the center of this perfect cycle, a chaotic singularity, seemingly containing the origin and destiny of all things, suddenly lit up!

That is the core manifestation of the "Primordial Beginning" Great Dao.

Li Xijun gently slashed at the Blood Kun below, which was completely frozen in fear due to the unprecedented terror it felt, unable to even let out a terrified roar.

No sound.

There is no massive flow of energy.

There was only one ray of light.

A ray of light, seemingly from the very beginning of creation, tearing apart chaos, separating the pure from the impure, and establishing order!

It is not simply an aggregation of energy, but the ultimate purification and opening power manifested by the perfect fusion of the Heavenly Order, the Earthly Bearing, and the Human Civilization, and after being sublimated and governed by the "Primordial Seed"!

The Primordial Light of the Beginning!

This light was indescribable in its color, seemingly clear yet turbid, seemingly present yet absent, as if it contained all colors, yet also as if it were so pure as to have no color at all.

It is not dazzling, but it carries a supreme artistic conception that sees through the essence of all things, soothes all chaos, and allows all things to return to their original "true" state.

The Primordial Light detached from the sword tip, seemingly slowly, but in fact transcending the constraints of time and space, as if it directly "covered" the area where the Blood Kun was located from the conceptual level of "existence".

The moment the sword light appeared, Xue Kun's soul was frozen.

His remaining will emitted a silent wail, the extreme fear stemming from his life-or-death instinct driving him to frantically unleash the last vestiges of power within him. The Blood Sea Law spewed forth filthy, foul-smelling waves of blood, the Evolution Law attempted to distort his body towards the most robust energy state, and even his immense divine soul burned, transforming into a layer of dim, crimson soul flames that enveloped his entire being—

All these struggles seem so ridiculous, so futile, in the face of this "Primordial Light".

The sword flashed.

There was no explosion, no confrontation, no ear-piercing sound of melting.

It's like warm sunlight shining into an abyss filled with ancient filth, like clear spring water flowing through a muddy ditch.

The boiling, foul blood waves around the Blood Kun were purified the moment they touched the sword light. The blood color faded, and it transformed into the purest water elemental energy, which then dissipated.

The body that attempted to evolve abnormally was frozen halfway through. All unstable and distorted evolutionary directions were forcibly "corrected" and "smoothed out," returning to a balanced and peaceful basic form that was almost a "Taoist body."

The burning crimson soul flames seemed to have encountered their nemesis, extinguishing silently without even emitting a wisp of smoke.

Under the illumination of the sword light containing the power of the origin of heaven, earth, and man, the enormous, star-like body of the Blood Kun seemed to lose all its "specialness" and "defense," becoming as "transparent" as the most ordinary matter.

Then, the sword light swept across gently.

Like a hot knife slicing through the finest butter.

The Blood Kun's majestic body, which had condensed the physical body of a Martial Saint and carried the laws of "Blood Sea," "Evolution," and "Life," silently split in two, starting from the very center.

The incision was smooth as a mirror, with no blood splattering.

Because all the dissipated energy and matter were completely dissipated the moment the sword light swept across them, turning into particles of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

Even the Martial Saint's divine soul, hidden at the core of the body and supposed to be incredibly resilient, containing the insights and imprints of his life's cultivation, was completely melted and dissipated under this sword light, like ice and snow exposed to the scorching sun, without even uttering a mournful cry, its consciousness returning to eternal annihilation.

All struggles, all laws, all traces of existence lost their meaning before this ultimate sword light that represented "the beginning" and "the primordial beginning".

Blood Kun, an emperor-level being that had occupied the Blood Sea Myth World for countless millennia, devoured countless living beings, and whose fearsome reputation shook the star field, was utterly destroyed by Li Xijun's seemingly casual yet supremely powerful sword strike, his body and soul were completely annihilated, and he perished completely!

As it fell, a massive, dark red nebula-shaped ball of light, seemingly condensed from the most primordial life essence, blood essence, and fragments of laws, emanated from the enormous blood kun corpse!

This ball of light, with a diameter exceeding 100,000 miles, floated silently in the shattered void of the universe, radiating an alluring and powerful energy fluctuation, like a peculiar seed newly born from pure life and laws.

However, just as this ball of light, symbolizing all the essence left behind by the Blood Kun, took shape and before it even began to dissipate naturally, a sudden change occurred!

Deep within Li Xijun's sea of ​​consciousness, the mysterious and unpredictable treasure, the Blood Bead, seemed to sense the unparalleled "feast" outside and suddenly awoke!

"Buzz—!!!"

A deep, resonant hum, seemingly from the ancient primordial era, emanated from within the blood bead, a sound that only Li Xijun could perceive.

The next moment, the ancient and mysterious patterns on the surface of the blood bead, which seemed to contain the secrets of the birth of life and the origin of blood, suddenly lit up!

An indescribable, immense suction force, seemingly capable of swallowing the heavens and earth, suddenly erupted from Li Xijun's sea of ​​consciousness between his brows.

This suction force is not directed at matter, but rather acts directly on the life essence, blood origin, and laws and principles represented by the dark red nebula light cluster condensed from all the essence of the Blood Kun!

"Whoosh—!!!"

It was like a whale sucking in water, or like the starry sky collapsing.

The enormous dark red nebula, with a diameter exceeding 100,000 miles, was utterly powerless against the terrifying suction force originating from the blood bead. Like a weary bird returning to its nest, it transformed into an extremely condensed dark red torrent, traversing the void and instantly disappearing into Li Xijun's brow, where it was completely swallowed up by the awakened blood bead!

Inside the blood droplet, there seemed to be a boundless, chaotic furnace.

The vast life essence, blood essence, and fragments of the two laws that the Blood Kun possessed—enough to burst an ordinary Martial Saint—were rapidly decomposed, refined, and purified by an indescribable power as soon as they entered it.

Then, the feedback began.

The first thing to flow into Li Xijun's body was an unimaginably powerful life force!

This power is pure, gentle, yet vast as the sea, like the first ray of life born at the beginning of the universe, instantly washing over, permeating, and strengthening every inch of Li Xijun's skin, bones, meridians, internal organs, and even the smallest cells in the middle stage of his Dharma Body.

His physical body, already forged to be incredibly powerful in the Dharma Body realm, is now undergoing a fundamental strengthening and improvement under the infusion of this extraordinary life essence!

"boom-!!!"

Li Xijun's blood and qi surged uncontrollably throughout his body.

The originally restrained golden blood energy erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed for millennia!

A dazzling and pure golden sword light burst forth from every pore of his body, instantly transforming him into a golden sun hanging in the cold universe!

The radiance of its vital energy illuminated the dark void of several surrounding star systems and even temporarily suppressed the sword light of a distant star.

Amidst the surging of golden blood and the strengthening of his physical body, Li Xijun could clearly feel that his already long and unpredictable lifespan as a Martial Saint was increasing at an alarming rate!

Ten thousand years, twenty thousand years, fifty thousand years, one hundred thousand years —

Finally, when the infusion of that massive amount of life essence gradually stabilized, his lifespan was increased by a full two hundred thousand years!

Although considering the special nature of the Blood Kun, an emperor-level being, its lifespan must be extremely long due to the vitality it contains.

But Li Xijun was still somewhat shocked.

Two hundred thousand years!

This is a number that would drive any martial saint mad!

This means he has more time to explore the Great Dao and reach higher realms!

Immediately afterwards, a second wave of feedback surged in—this time, its target was his Yang Spirit!

When the Blood Pearl was refining the essence of the Blood Kun, it also extracted its understanding of the two laws of "Blood Sea" and "Evolution", as well as some fragments of the original source of the laws, and transformed them into the purest flow of law information, which was directly poured into Li Xijun's soul that had already achieved pure Yang!

The soul of a Yangshen Realm cultivator possesses inconceivable abilities of calculation, deduction, and containment.

At this moment, under the impact of this pure information of laws originating from the core of a Martial Saint's lifelong cultivation, Li Xijun's Yang Spirit, like a dried-up sponge, frantically absorbed water, rapidly analyzing, understanding, and absorbing these profound laws.

On the creation, continuation, growth, and decay of "life" —

Regarding the surge, nourishment, plunder, and power of "blood" —

On "evolution": variation, adaptation, optimization, and transcendence —

Countless profound insights, runes, and Daoist principles flowed, settled, and merged within his soul.

Almost as if it were a natural progression, Li Xijun felt that his mastery of the laws of life, blood, and evolution had rapidly increased from nothing to something, and soon reached a rather profound level!

This is not a simple borrowing, but a true understanding of its core, and an integration of it into one's own understanding of the Great Dao!

At the same time, the "Great Luo Primordial Beginning Heaven" cave world within his body also experienced intense resonance and changes!

The newly acquired life, blood, and laws of evolution were naturally encompassed and governed by the Great Dao of "Great Luo Primordial Beginning," and quickly integrated into the evolutionary system of the cave heaven.

On the vast land of the cave, the plants and trees grew more vibrant and spiritual, and even began to show some rudimentary forms of simple life evolution.

In the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld, the process of guiding, purifying, and transforming the souls of the dead becomes more efficient and mysterious with the addition of the laws of blood and life, making the reincarnation system more complete.

The stability, vitality, and inherent growth potential of the entire cave world have been significantly enhanced!

The cycle of Heaven, Earth, and Man becomes more harmonious and powerful with the infusion of this new law.

The expansion and deepening of the grotto-heaven directly impacted Li Xijun's cultivation level.

Having just broken through to the mid-stage of the Dharma Body realm, he has begun to make solid and obvious progress again under the impetus of this vast amount of resources and perfected laws!

The mid-stage realm quickly stabilized, and a big step was taken towards a deeper level, saving at least a hundred years or even longer of painstaking effort!

Feeling the surging power within his body, the skyrocketing lifespan, the newly mastered laws, and the rapidly evolving grotto-heaven, Li Xijun felt a mix of joy and exasperation, along with a touch of helpless frustration.

"This 'Great Luo Primordial Heaven' Dharma Body Dao is really good at consuming food!"

He thought to himself.

"As long as it's a suitable, high-quality resource and law, it accepts almost anything, quickly digesting and absorbing it, transforming it into nutrients to drive the evolution of the grotto-heaven and the advancement of the Dharma body. At this rate, as long as there are enough resources, there are practically no bottlenecks in the advancement of the Dharma body path—"

In comparison, although his spiritual power accumulation in the "Cosmic Origin Darkness" Dao, which he had previously comprehended and focused on, had already increased significantly due to his breakthrough in Dharma Body, reaching the peak of the early stage of Martial Saint, his understanding of the laws and breakthroughs in realm were much "slower".

The Primal Dark Law involves the end, return to nothingness, and eternal silence of all things. Its profound mystery far surpasses ordinary laws, requiring a longer period of silence, contemplation, and alignment with the state of mind at the end of the universe before one can make progress.

"It seems that the path of the Dharmakaya progresses rapidly because of its great inclusiveness, while the path of the original darkness requires more meticulous and painstaking work because of its profound nature."

Li Xijun clarified his next cultivation direction: "Once this matter is resolved, I must find time to go into seclusion and diligently comprehend the true meaning of 'Original Darkness,' striving to elevate this innate law to a level commensurate with my Dharma Body realm as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, although there are many methods, one of the core elements for my future advancement to True Immortal may not be able to keep up with my own progress."

In the void of the universe, the "golden sun" formed by the burst of qi and blood slowly withdrew its sword light.

Li Xijun's aura returned to calm, but he was now many times stronger than before he killed Xue Kun.

He glanced at the enormous gap in the Blood Kun Mythical World, and at the silent, awestruck gazes in the distant starry sky, and then stopped.

With a single step, his figure merged into the void and vanished.

All that remained was this star field, utterly altered by the aftershocks of the battle, and the turmoil that followed the complete demise of an emperor-level being.

A colossal wave is about to sweep across the entire star field.
