Chapter 893: Divine Blood River
They headed to the Divine Blood River.
It was relatively easy to find in the Nil Emperor Realm because it was long enough.
"So, everyone in the Nine Calamity Star takes the path of transformation through undergoing the calamities?" Wang Ye looked at the big-headed Dark Eternal.
The latter's name was Ye Bian, his new underling.
He was very sensible, unlike those foolish Dark race members who were arrogant.
Was being a member of the high-dimensional race amazing?
If they weren't strong enough, he would still kill them!
"Yes, we mainly take the path of material, supplemented by energy. Those on Natural Star focus on energy supplemented by material," said Ye Bian. "Only those on Hades Star have a balanced fusion of material and energy."
Wang Ye nodded.
The strongest ones among the Dark race members on the three Primal Chaos Stars were undoubtedly those from the Hades Star, which he had seen in the high-dimensional battlefield.
However, the Nine Calamity Star wasn't much inferior.
After all, it had the strongest path of material in the high-dimensional cosmic.
"How long have you been in King Tuning's territory?" Wang Ye asked.
"Several eras." Ye Bian sighed.
"Someone as weak as you should be homeless, right? Why are you staying in King Tuning's territory?" Wang Ye said.
Ye Bian: "..."
He wanted to argue, but he didn't have the confidence.
After all, he was as weak as a blade of grass in front of the devil Eternal.
"It's mainly due to the stability. This place isn't like the territories of other Supremes," Ye Bian said. "The battles here aren't as intense. There's also Tranquil City built by King Tuning where one can enjoy protection and cultivate without distractions to prepare for the thunder calamity."
Wang Ye felt the urge to retort.
The Dark race made it seem as if they were ascending to immortality, what with thunder calamities and all...
The path of nine calamities was really strange.
"How do I trigger the calamity thunder?" Wang Ye asked curiously.
"Once your cultivation base is high enough, it will be triggered when you enter Nine Calamity Star. Usually, you need to prepare some recovery and energy-type immortal herbs, defensive equipment, and life treasures to lay the foundation after breaking through," said Ye Bian.
"I can break through after surviving the calamity thunder?" Wang Ye was surprised.
"In the path of nine calamities, the body will undergo a baptism and transformation after each calamity. At that time, the body will withstand and absorb a large amount of innate energy, making breakthroughs easy. Though, you have to be careful of sneak attackers," said Ye Bian.
Wang Ye. "...Why so unethical?"
"For the sake of profit, what won't they do?" Ye Bian sneered. "When I passed the second calamity, I was heavily injured by a sneak attack, so I came here and planned to go to Tranquil City to pass the third calamity. At least I don't have to worry about dying."
Wang Ye was deep in thought. "Is the phenomenon very obvious during the thunder calamity?" He suddenly asked.
"Yes," Ye Bian nodded. "The energy changes are huge. It's easy to sense it nearby."
"It will last for a while, right?" Wang Ye asked again.
"Yes, that's why it's so convenient for the ambushers." Ye Bian paused and looked at Wang Ye. "You can't be thinking of..."
"Of course not, I'm not that kind of devil." Wang Ye shook his head seriously.
He was a human.
"I'm worried that I'll be ambushed like you when I pass the thunder calamity, so I'm just asking," Wang Ye said.
He had to obtain the path of nine calamities.
This was the strongest path of material, and it didn't conflict with his other paths of material because it was the same as the great path of the Ancient Star, which strengthened one's body.
Not only would his body transform step by step, but every time he went through a thunder calamity, he would absorb a large amount of innate energy and calamity thunder.
The Nine Calamity Star's strongest high-dimensional heavenly path was the unique heavenly path of nine calamities.
However, there were also three heavenly paths of thunder element energy.
Many of the Dark race members in the Nine Calamity Star cultivated the path of thunder element energy as their secondary cultivation.
With two heads and four arms, apart from having a huge advantage in battle, they also had two engines like Xueling during cultivation.
As long as one had talent in the thunder element, their cultivation would be twice as effective.
However, it also depended on one's aptitude and ability.
Was it enough to trigger the highest grade of calamity thunder, which would lead straight to the heavenly path of the thunder element?
"The three major aspects of the path of nine calamities are all very beneficial to me." Wang Ye's goal was clear.
As long as there was a chance, he would take them down at all costs!
...
Boom!
Wang Ye killed another High Dimension Lord of the Dark race.
He was now a public enemy.
As long as he bumped into a Dark race member on the way, they would attack him indiscriminately.
It was mainly because he was an Eternal.
If he was a Devil Supreme...
The Dark race members wouldn't have had the guts.
"We're almost there." Ye Bian was not surprised.
In the beginning, he was still shocked by the devil Eternal's strength, but he slowly got used to it.
Sometimes, he even tried to persuade those hot-headed Dark Eternals not to seek death in vain, but in the end...
It was a waste of breath.
"Alright." Wang Ye collected the High Dimension Lord's corpse and remained calm as if he had done something insignificant.
To the current him, the 100,000 to 200,000 evolution points given by killing High Dimension Lords were no longer valuable.
However, the Dark race members did not listen and insisted on sending him off, so he could only do one good deed a day.
They fought as they traveled. It was quite tiring.
"We're finally here." Wang Ye looked at the endless Divine Blood River in the distance.
It contained a huge amount of saint blood energy. It was truly shocking.
He took out a bottle, and just as it touched the Divine Blood River water, it was instantly corroded by the powerful energy.
Oh?
"It must be stored in a special container." Ye Bian reminded.
Wang Ye took out a potion bottle used to contain Venerate-level poison. This time, it didn't shatter.
The small bottle of Divine Blood River water contained tiny red crystals with a special energy that he had never seen before.
Domineering and powerful.
Just as he was about to put it into his internal world, it fluctuated violently, producing a great rejection force.
It was the same as how high-dimensional cosmic lifeforms were unable to enter the internal world.
It contained "willpower".
Even though it had lost its consciousness and was diluted billions of times, it still could not fuse with the internal world.
"You can't store it. Even the Supremes can't store a large amount of Divine Blood River water into their bodies," Ye Bian said. "But they can use special containers to store some of it as backup, outside of their bodies. Besides, the Divine Blood River water is inexhaustible. If you want to use it, you can just come here-"
Ye Bian was startled.
Wang Ye took out a huge container with mystical engravings on it.
Then, he filled it with Divine Blood River water, sealed it, and placed it into his internal world.
???
How did he do it?
Ye Bian was once again shocked by Wang Ye's amazing ability.
"The Spirit race is truly a race of geniuses." Wang Ye secretly praised.
What he used to store the Divine Blood River water was naturally the Spiritual Energy Bank.
It was the empty one he took from the Hidden Saint Realm, not the one that still contained nearly 30% of innate energy.
It was a versatile energy storage device!
"The Divine Blood River is a specialty of the Nine Calamity Star. If I can absorb it, it means that other humans can too. The value is incredible."
Wang Ye's eyes were bright.
He looked at the endless Divine Blood River.
A drop of slightly red river water that emitted exquisite light appeared in his hand.
According to Ye Bian, one drop was enough.
Whoosh!
Wang Ye instantly absorbed the Divine Blood River's energy contained in the droplet.
Boom! A huge amount of energy exploded in his body. It circulated through his body before gathering.
A tall and sturdy figure appeared in his mind. The other party's pitch-black body seemed to have been tempered by dark substance billions of times. A tyrannical aura erupted, instantly forming two heads and four arms, and his combat prowess soared.
Hmm?
Wang Ye was surprised.
Was this the Dark race's Ancestral God?
Why didn't it look like one? Weren't two heads and four arms the natural characteristics of the Dark race?
Why did he need to release it?
Besides, he did look like a member of the Dark race leader, but it felt like there were also many differences.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The combat prowess of the Dark race's Ancestral God soared. As the saint blood energy spread, black thunder covered his body. His terrifying body was invincible.
Wang Ye felt the same way.
His willpower and body were under some pressure.
After a long time, the figure of the Dark race's Ancestral God faded away.
The saint blood energy in his body gradually disappeared.
[Saint Blood Origin: ↑]
Light flashed in front of Wang Ye's eyes, and he seemed to comprehend something.
Was this the great path of saint blood?
Reaching the beginner stage was too simple.
"The requirements for the body and willpower are relatively high, as well as the ability to resist thunder. No wonder it's the prerequisite path of origin to the path of nine calamities." Wang Ye thought to himself.
The simplicity was built on the foundation of powerful abilities.
If a human with a weak body absorbed it, it was very likely that they would explode and die.
The same was true for someone with weak willpower or weak resistance against thunder.
Saint blood origin was more aggressive than ordinary origins because it contained some willpower.
To fuse with it, one's ability had to be passable.
The path of nine calamities was the same.
If one couldn't withstand the thunder calamity, one's body and soul would be destroyed.
Pa!
Wang Ye tried to use the great path of saint blood.
It did not strengthen his body much. His physical body had only been strengthened a tad while his control over the great path of the thunder element had been improved slightly.
"The path of saint blood is to be compatible with the Dark race's Ancestral Gods." Wang Ye almost understood.
For the Dark race experts, especially those who cultivated the path of nine calamities, the amplification was relatively large.
The more one was compatible with the Dark race's Ancestral God, the stronger the great path of saint blood's power would be.
It didn't matter. It did not consume his evolution points.
He did not suffer any losses since it was free.
Wang Ye continued to absorb the path of saint blood, and his abilities improved rapidly.
Ye Bian was dumbfounded.
Too powerful!
Were devil Eternals monsters?
How much Divine Blood River water had he absorbed?
He should've exploded and died, yet there was no reaction at all. In fact, he did not even take a break as he absorbed the water continuously.
It was simply inconceivable!
"As expected, someone who can easily kill High Dimension Lords can't be measured with common sense," Ye Bian sighed in his heart.
He was afraid of this devil but also felt a sense of inferiority and reverence.
Time passed slowly.
Wang Ye's absorption reached its limit. His body couldn't take in any more Divine Blood River water.
"I've reached the limit of stage 9." Wang Ye opened his interface, but there was no '+' behind it.
He couldn't spend his evolution points even if he wanted to.
"Ye Bian, how do I break through to the innate great path from the path of saint blood origin?" Wang Ye asked.
"After passing three calamities in the path of nine calamities, one will be able to break through." Ye Bian replied. Then, he paused and asked in disbelief, "Senior, you've reached stage 9?"
"Yes." Wang Ye nodded.
Ignoring the dumbfounded Ye Bian, he looked at his strength level.
It had improved a lot!
Although the stage 9 saint blood origin wasn't very powerful, its energy was massive. There were always benefits to absorbing it.
The fourth degree of the Eternal level, 36.3%!
It had increased by nearly 30%!
A small profit.
"The path of nine calamities allows one to absorb a large amount of energy after surviving the thunder calamities and increase one's strength, including breaking through to the great path of saint blood."
Wang Ye's eyes shone brightly.
Soon, he would break through to the fifth degree of the Eternal level and could even touch the sixth degree!
This trip to the Nine Calamity Star was the right choice.
There were many benefits!
