Chapter 712: Great Fusion Cultivation Method!

Thump, thump, thump!Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Suddenly, within the Inner World, Qiuming Mountain Speed witnessed another horrifying and bizarre scene. Bones mixed with flesh, flesh mixed with clothing—the ground had completely turned black and red. The horrific sight of mass extinction was too shocking to behold.

At this moment, the network of endless incense meridians, which permeated the nine major spatial acupoints, began to gather the boundless resentment from the deaths of over 17 billion beings, rapidly coalescing into a terrifying grotesque entity. Dark emotions instantly swelled, forming a black torrent.

Wailing sounds emerged!“I don’t want to die…”“I still don’t want to die…”Agonized screams, sorrowful cries, unwilling roars, desperate hatred, piercing howls—innumerable voices intertwined, as if blending the sorrow of an entire world.

“This is… an aberration! It’s incense!” Qiuming Mountain Speed fell to his knees, utterly distraught.

“So that’s it,” he muttered, his body trembling. “Unlike positive energy, which requires benevolent deities to accumulate good deeds over time, these dark emotions of fear, despair, and hatred can form in an instant! Because hatred comes ten thousand times faster than love!” He abruptly raised his head, staring at the blood-red sky.

“You can’t fall in love with someone or experience love at first sight in a single second, but you can utterly despise someone in one second!” Qiuming Mountain Speed continued to murmur, gazing at the sky. “The creation of a colossal aberration of despair only requires the instant a world is destroyed, bringing fear, despair, and hatred!”

At this moment, he looked at the massive Pangu’s True Form.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

As if a vast, intricate world, the structure of its living beings underwent a drastic change. Veins and arteries intertwined, and countless wronged spirits and ghosts clung to the corpses, wailing loudly and roaring. Innumerable grievances coalesced into a grotesque entity. In an instant, as if unwilling to accept their deaths, they were immersed in some illusory world.

“What in the world is happening?” He walked through the blood-red space, seeing lumps of formless flesh and bones, eyeballs dangling, yet emitting spiritual fluctuations.

“Huh?”“Candied haws, candied haws…”“What just happened?”“Wasn’t I just buying groceries?”“It’s nothing, continue shopping.”

He looked to the other side.“Why did I suddenly zone out just now?”“So that’s it, is this some kind of spiritual magic from your Gu Yun Sect?!”“It must be a trick from your Sky Azure Demonic Sect!”“Enough talk, quickly hand over the treasure! Our entire sect is here for the Angelica Whip, the supreme treasure of the ancient immortal Yunxiao, which you obtained from the ruins over a thousand years ago!”

The flesh on both sides was emitting spiritual fluctuations.“Th-th-th-this…” Qiuming Mountain Speed was nearly insane, his mind a blank. “Emperor Qi was originally such a serious person, yet he’s copying even this bizarre scene. The Three Pillar Gods were already strange enough with their talking heads…”

“And you just learned it in reverse?!” Qiuming Mountain Speed was almost speechless, his understanding of Emperor Qi completely overturned. He gazed at the eerie blood-red world. “What kind of reform is Emperor Qi undertaking? What an earth-shattering endeavor!!”

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

The next moment, he witnessed an even stranger sight. These flesh-and-blood souls, believing they hadn't died, continued to speak as they converged into a crimson torrent, rushing across the land. Meanwhile, the earthen-gold incense meridians, which connected to the nine heavens, suddenly became hollow, like pulsating blood vessels, continuously drawing in the flesh-and-blood torrents from the internal space.

“He turned the land’s incense meridians into hollow blood vessels within his body?”“And then he's drawing the flesh and souls from here into those vessels? Treating them as a blood torrent, with 17 billion living souls flowing within that blood…”He was utterly stunned.

Outside.

The Three Pillar Gods calmly stated, “Your nine major acupoints have been emptied, all life extinguished. Without your world’s power core, how will you withstand my next attack?” Against this attack, there was no way to resist. If this strike detonated his world furnace, how would he defend against the next?

“If there’s no power core to provide energy for the Nine Revolutions Profound Art to restore the body, then simply create a new one,” Emperor Qi stated calmly.

Boom!

It was as if something within him had been forcefully opened.“You…” The Three Pillar Gods stared at Emperor Qi, their expressions astonished. Through their “All-Seeing Eye,” Emperor Qi’s entire Pangu’s True Form still appeared as a flat anatomical diagram. They saw that these meridians had transformed into a network of interconnected blood vessels, from which the sounds of biological flow emanated.

So, his killing of over 10 billion beings in a world wasn't just resistance, but also the first step in his own massive self-renewal? How incredibly bold was this? How utterly audacious?

“This is a result of observing your bodies. Your alternative path to enlightenment is quite interesting—each head forming a cell, using a special method to hypnotize all living beings. What you see now is similar,” Emperor Qi said confidently, hands clasped behind his back. “However, I cannot hypnotize all living beings to make them believe they are immortal; their numbers are too vast. So, I used the fear generated by their deaths, channeling the terrifying aberrations born from the world’s destruction, to create an unwelcome beautiful dream for them, similar to the Dream God of the ancient world, putting them in a state between life and death.”

“Let all living beings become My blood, providing power and nourishment.” Emperor Qi spoke calmly, his tone flat, yet the concepts and theories he articulated were astounding. “Blood is inherently the network that provides energy to living organisms. This is merely a return to basics, though it is a temporary storage measure for now.”

He spoke eloquently. “Their original flesh and blood merely serve as temporary soul vessels, flowing within this river of flesh and blood. In the future, I will forge demonic cores, place their souls within them, and they will become red blood cells!”

“They live in a spiritual world, but in reality, they exist within My river of blood, within My world, becoming a surging Mother River of True World Spirits! These souls continuously cultivate and emit incense, which is absorbed by the hollow dragon vein vessels, providing Me with nourishment,” Emperor Qi stated calmly.

This was a terrifying improvement, thoroughly integrating dragon veins, demonic cores, and Pangu’s True Form. Transforming the dragon vein incense meridians into dragon vein incense vessels, and hollowing out the dragon veins to allow all beings to live within these hollow meridians, was simply an improved simplification.

Holy cow! Hearing this, Meng Mei couldn’t help but exclaim, “Emperor Qi plans to create over 17 billion earth-gold demonic cores! This ancient mythical emperor has a grand vision comparable to the Great Wall! Replacing red blood cells with demonic cores? He’s practically treating the employees of the red blood cell demonic core factory as less than human! I can already imagine the fate of some alchemy factory! The ‘blessing’ of a 996 work schedule awaits him!”

Hidden in the shadows, Meng Mei was utterly astonished. Regardless of whether she would survive, she still pulled out her notebook, her eyes sparkling. “But this is simply a grand fusion of cultivation methods! Integrating my incense dragon veins, Pangu’s True Form, and the demonic core system—the three perfectly—using the dragon veins as blood vessels throughout the body, with demonic cores acting as red blood cells within them, it’s a super upgrade!”

On the rooftop of the orchard, a cold wind swept by. Xu Zhi quietly took out his notebook as well, feeling a little excited.

“Indeed, this is a new transformation. Emperor Qi, forced by the battle, has now killed the beings in the Inner World and fully integrated them into his blood vessels. Otherwise, it would have been a perfect circulatory system: living beings residing in the nine major Inner Worlds, and after death, their souls would flow through the blood vessels, becoming red blood cells, flowing in the river of deceased souls, continuing to cultivate.”

“The nine major acupoints within his body are the realm of the living, and the endless blood vessels within his body are the netherworld!” At this moment, Xu Zhi seemed to see an anatomical diagram of a body with circulating blood. “This is the true Nine Revolutions Profound Art, a cosmic-level Pangu’s True Form, containing a cycle of life and death within!”

“Perfect!”“Absolutely perfect!”

Xu Zhi’s eyes gleamed with admiration. “I had previously considered extending Caroline’s Death God’s Immortality, creating demonic cores in the mind to store spirits… but now it seems that was just two cultivation methods forcibly pieced together. This is the true grand integration of cultivation methods!” Even he had to admit that Emperor Qi, as the conceptual founder of the Great Luo Heavenly Scripture, possessed terrifying talent when it came to learning, improving, and integrating cultivation methods!

“Such a terrifying person…”

In fact, at this moment, the Three Pillar Gods also wanted to take out their notebooks and jot things down. Knowledge was power, let alone such terrifying knowledge and concepts? This grand integration, with its intricate cultivation method details and profound content, was truly astonishing.

Emperor Qi’s personality, moreover, was such that he never concealed anything about himself. At the same time, he didn't need to hide, as he was confident that any improvements made by others learning from him would eventually return to him twofold. In fact, for him, it was even better. He was an extremely specialized talent, lacking the ingenuity to innovate or forge new paths. Letting others innovate and then learning, integrating, and improving upon their work would undoubtedly benefit him greatly. Just like now.

However, at this moment, the Three Pillar Gods’ expressions were far from calm. This terrifying primordial god-king of the ancient Celestial Court had, through a few battles and exchanges, learned the Pillar Gods’ demonic cores, the Earth Mother’s dragon veins, and his own Pangu’s True Form, creating a perfect grand integration.

“This new power core is stronger than before…” The Three Pillar Gods took a deep breath. “But its flaw is even greater. Your power core isn’t in an alternate dimension; it exists in the form of blood. This means if we shatter you once and drain the blood from your body, you’ll be completely cut off from energy supply…”

The Three Pillar Gods’ expressions turned completely solemn. “Furthermore, if we consume your blood, it will still contain most of the world’s energy. For us… it’s simply the greatest vulnerability!”

Yes, the biggest flaw lay before them.

Emperor Qi said calmly, “I am aware of that. However, existing as a blood energy power core allows it to nourish My entire body like a supplement, instantly strengthening My physical form. I can then cultivate the martial arts lineage that requires flesh-and-blood supplements and rare treasures, doubling My defenses. You may not be able to easily break through My blood again.”

“You…” The Three Pillar Gods’ expressions changed completely.
