#516 - Blood God Upgrade
Zhang Chen couldn't gamble, and didn't dare to gamble!
So Zhang Chen just stood there quietly, coldly watching the slaughter in the field. He had already done enough for these people. Life and death were determined by fate, wealth by heaven. He wasn't their father, so what did their life or death have to do with him?
“Don't blame me! My family's lives are more precious than all of yours.” Zhang Chen muttered to himself.
As the sounds of fighting in the yellow sand grew louder and louder, the human race gradually began to regain the upper hand. Although there were snakes and rats harassing them, the women and children were not just watching coldly, but actively taking up weapons and began to strike at the snakes and rats that crawled out of the ground.
The women and children couldn't deal with fierce beasts, but they had no problem dealing with ordinary snakes and rats.
Just as the slaughter was taking place in the field, Zhang Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, and his gaze suddenly turned to the distance, a look of horror appearing in his eyes. Then, the golden finger interface popped up:
【Skill 3 (Tier 6): Blood Influence (2000000000/200000000000)】
【Status: Upgradeable】
【Upgrade?】
Zhang Chen looked at the golden finger interface in front of him, a look of horror on his face. This was two hundred billion experience points, how did it suddenly accumulate?
Since he hadn't taken any action, the change must have occurred with the Blood God Child.
Zhang Chen couldn't bother upgrading, and quickly went to sense the Blood God Child's memories. Then, Zhang Chen's expression changed, his pupils widening and almost cracking: “How dare the demon race do this!!!”
Do you know why the Blood Dao skill evolved?
It turned out that the demon race was massacring the human race in the Northern Lands. Gong Bai was possessed by the Blood God Child and took the opportunity to wreak havoc in the Northern Lands, killing so many that heads rolled and blood flowed for thousands of miles. Seeing that his own slaughter couldn't compare to the demon race's killing speed, the Blood God Child simply stopped fighting and instead roamed every battlefield, setting up Blood Dao formations and secretly absorbing the blood flowing from the battlefield. In just over a month, two hundred billion experience points had directly accumulated.
“How many creatures have died in the Northern Lands!” Zhang Chen was filled with unease. Looking at the demon beast army fighting in the distance, demon beasts constantly fell, and humans constantly fell, blood constantly flowing into the soil. For a time, blood flowed like a river in the field.
Such slaughter was everywhere in the Northern Lands, and what was happening now was just the tip of the iceberg.
“These skill points don't just come from the human race, but also from the demon race.” Zhang Chen glanced at the skill interface, and immediately clicked upgrade. Then, the golden finger interface changed:
【Skill 3 (Tier 7): Body Transformation into Blood River (0/2000000000000)】
【Note 1: The host can transform into a blood river, absorbing all the blood within a hundred miles, absorbing the souls of the dead within a hundred miles into the blood river, opening the crystal core channel, and guiding the blood and souls of the world into the sea of blood at a faster speed.】
【Note 2: The number of Blood God Children increases with the level. Currently, the number of Blood God Children is seven.】
Then, a stream of information poured into Zhang Chen's mind. Zhang Chen already had a sense of it in the dark. At this time, his crystal core underwent some inexplicable change, as if a door had been added to the crystal core. He had a thought that as long as he wanted, he could open the crystal core at any time and combine it with a certain power in the crystal core, turning himself into a blood river formation, attracting all the blood within a hundred miles to gather.
“This skill is good, it collects experience points many times faster. Although upgrading to Tier 8 requires two trillion experience points, Zhang Chen can absorb all the blood within a hundred miles. As long as there are a few more large-scale battles in the world, things will be done. Two trillion seems like a lot, but it can't stand the large collection range.” Zhang Chen secretly weighed it in his mind. After this upgrade, his shortcoming in collecting experience points was considered to be made up (Blood Dao).
Moreover, Body Transformation into Blood River did not require Zhang Chen to personally take action. The Blood God Children he transformed into could also evolve into a blood river in his place.
The Blood God Child is him, and he is the Blood God Child.
“The most important thing is that I now have seven Blood God Children. There are too many things I can do now.” A look of joy appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes.
As the Blood Control Technique was upgraded to Tier 8, not only were the Blood God Children strengthened, but even the other Blood Dao skills were greatly enhanced.
For example, Blood Influence. Previously, Zhang Chen could influence other people's blood, but only one person. Now, after breaking through to Tier 7, the crystal core had changed, and his Blood Influence had also changed. Now, the number of people he could influence was calculated in meters.
All living beings within one meter!
Of course, the other party's cultivation level could not exceed his own Blood Dao level. Zhang Chen could influence the other party's blood.
One meter was within the skill range, and influencing the blood of one person in a one-on-one situation was a high-level fighting skill.
The Tier 7 Blood Dao had already begun to show a terrifying corner of its power.
At this time, the blood in Zhang Chen's body also began to change. Golden light was born little by little, one-tenth of his blood had turned silver-white, and one percent had turned pure gold.
“Zhang Chen, why do I feel like you've undergone some kind of change?” Just as Zhang Chen's mind was flashing with various thoughts, Cheng Yu, who was beside him, suddenly said. Her martial arts cultivation was amazing, and she was keenly aware of changes in the aura around her.
Cheng Yu looked at Zhang Chen beside her, only feeling that he was thinner. Through the dirt on his skin, she could see that his skin was more delicate, like jade, without any pores.
The person was still the same person, but Zhang Chen had undergone earth-shattering changes inside. Cheng Yu sensed this change, which surprised Zhang Chen: “Your mental perception is really sharp! My cultivation has just broken through, so some changes have occurred.”
“I can't understand you more and more now. You kid is simply a freak. Is Qi Refining and Immortal Cultivation really that powerful?” A look of longing appeared in Cheng Yu's eyes.
“When you cultivate to the Yang God Realm, whether you refine Qi and cultivate immortality is actually not important anymore. Cultivation to the end leads to the same goal through different paths, so you should strive to break through to the Yang God as soon as possible.” Zhang Chen comforted Cheng Yu.
Of course, he was talking nonsense. Qi Refining to become an immortal was the Heavenly Immortal Path, while the Yang God was the Ghost Immortal Path. The two were not the same path at all, so how could they be the same?
If they were the same, the ancient gods would not have died, but would have survived by relying on the Ghost Dao.
Moreover, even pure Ghost Dao needed to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth disappeared, the ghosts and gods also suffered.
“Really?” Cheng Yu widened her eyes.
Zhang Chen nodded. He had an idea in his mind that perhaps with the growth of the Tongtian Jianmu in the future, he might be able to lead the people around him onto the path of immortality. It was just that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had disappeared today, and this world was no longer suitable for Qi Refining and Immortal Cultivation. Once they left the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the Qi Refiner would definitely die.
That is to say, once the people around him cultivated immortality, they would no longer be able to leave Jianmu and could only be puppets beside Jianmu.
The drawbacks of this cultivation method were too great, and Zhang Chen didn't want to lead the people around him onto the path of Qi Refining and Immortal Cultivation.
“Big brother, can we refine Qi and cultivate immortality?” Zhang Tuowei and Zhang Fei's eyes lit up. After hearing Zhang Chen's words, they quickly came forward to inquire.
“Wait until your souls can leave your bodies before you talk to me about cultivation.” Zhang Chen said unhappily.
The two little ones had devoured the True Dragon Creation, and had also awakened the power of their bloodline. Zhang Chen felt that he could teach the two little ones the Visualization Method to help them embark on the path of cultivation sooner.
Zhang Chen felt that the drawbacks he had worried about in the past, along with the two little ones eating dragon meat, should have been eliminated for the two little ones.
So Zhang Chen knocked on the heads of the two little ones: “Do not be too ambitious, taking one step at a time is the key.”
The two little ones covered their heads and shrank aside without speaking.
Cheng Yu looked at the yellow sand all over the sky, and the people fighting in the yellow sand, and asked in a low voice: “Should we take the opportunity to slip away?”
“We can't run away!” Zhang Chen shook his head and denied Cheng Yu's idea, a look of seriousness appearing in his voice: “All sides have already been surrounded by wild beasts. If we take the opportunity to escape, we will directly crash into the beast tide. I'm fine, I'm not afraid of that group of wild beasts, the key is that you can't resist the invasion of those wild beasts.”
“So the caravan must not be defeated! Those refugees must not be defeated either!” Zhang Chen's voice was very serious.
He had to rely on the caravan and those refugees to hide and protect his family. Relying on himself alone to fight against the demon beasts and the endless beast tide, he didn't have that much power.
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Cheng Yu sighed quietly: “With just a few of us, how can we influence the general trend?”
Although she had already reached the Object Manipulation Realm, she was still not enough. Facing the vast beast tide, she wouldn't be able to hold on for long and would be torn apart and become food for the beasts.
So for her, taking the opportunity to kill her way out was the best choice.
Zhang Chen comforted Cheng Yu when he heard the words: “Don't worry, I naturally have a way to break the situation, things haven't gotten so serious that we need to break out.”
Zhang Chen thought in his mind, and a ray of blood rushed out of his body and disappeared into the vast yellow sand.
With the addition of the Blood God Child, Zhang Chen felt that reversing the battle situation was not difficult.
The Blood God Child transformed into a human-shaped blood light and directly pounced on a fierce beast beside him. In an instant, all the blood on the beast's body was absorbed by the Blood God Child, and then the Blood God Child solidified a bit and continued to pounce further away.
Then, in the darkness, a blood-red figure constantly窜动in the beast tide, leaving behind corpses wherever it passed.
“Too slow! Even if the Blood God Child pounces and kills a fierce beast in one breath, how many can it pounce and kill in the face of the vast and endless beast tide?” Zhang Chen sensed the speed at which the Blood God Child was pouncing and killing living beings, and couldn't help but frown. Moreover, the Blood God Child couldn't pounce and kill a wild beast in one breath. One breath was just the most ideal state.
The next moment, five more blood-red figures rushed into the vast yellow sand from his body.
