318: Ah! My blood pool! Stop sucking!

"Lin Xiu..."

Yao Tianhuo frowned.

"I know my limits."

Lin Xiu didn't turn around, he just raised his right hand and waved it, signaling him not to worry.

At this, Old Demon Tianming's eyes gleamed with even greater joy.

He's a youngster after all; this arrogant habit of his will never change until he's suffered enough losses.

Suck it all up! Just wait until you get a backlash!

After so many years of development, he wasn't worried about the Tian Ming Blood Pool being drained.

After all, if so much power was absorbed into one's body, it would eventually backfire, causing one to become part of the Blood Pool's power.

Lin Xiu, who had entered the Formation, didn't know what Old Demon Tianming was thinking.

At this moment, he was only surprised.

The blood Qi energy inside was so abundant it exceeded his imagination; it truly lived up to its reputation as one of the two great sects, the Tianming Sect.

Its foundation was truly formidable; with such a vast amount of blood Qi power, forming blood Yuan Acupoints would be no problem at all.

"Leaving Old Demon Tianming alive was the right decision. I might not have found such a good place on my own."

Lin Xiu thought to himself, then decisively pushed his Cultivation Technique to its limit, frantically absorbing the energy within.

A massive suction force erupted from his body, and a bloody vortex instantly formed.

Lin Xiu stood at the very center of the vortex, as streams of dark red, almost black, energy surged into his body.

In his Dantian, a blood Qi Medicinal Pill gradually took shape. Lin Xiu guided it with his mind, following the path of the Guiyuan Art.

Gradually, a dark red light gate appeared, and all the blood Qi energy surged towards it.

Old Demon Tianming was somewhat surprised to see this; he wouldn't dare to absorb so recklessly like Lin Xiu.

Because if the hidden dangers within weren't resolved and accumulated to a certain extent, they would become an uncontrollable fuse.

How could he not know how vast the energy here was? According to his previous estimation, if he absorbed it completely, it would be enough for him to go from the Elementary Semi-Saint to the threshold of the Advanced Semi-Saint.

However, gain often comes with risk.

That's why Old Demon Tianming had never dared to try.

As the energy grew more and more immense, Lin Xiu clearly noticed that the capacity of his bloody Yuan Acupoint had increased from a first-tier to an eighth-tier demonic core level.

"Too much. With so much energy, once it's digested, I'll at least be able to advance to an Eight-Star Dou Zun."

Feeling the rich energy, Lin Xiu sighed. This was even more potent than Medicinal Pills.

However.

He quickly realized that as the energy grew, a violent consciousness was constantly impacting the other powers within his body.

Even the rotation of the nebula was affected by this power, becoming slower.

"These blood Qi contain too much despair and resentment from countless people. The more they gather, the stronger this impact becomes."

Lin Xiu only had to get close to perceive it, and he could hear countless roars and howls emanating from the blood Qi.

He didn't feel worried by this. "Fortunately, I have the Fallen Heart Flame. When it comes to purifying and refining Dou Qi, it's a strong suit."

With a thought, a transparent fire net covered the outside of the blood Yuan Acupoint. The blood Qi energy flowing out of it, after being purified, would then enter the nebula without causing interference.

"Although this will hinder the speed of my Strength improvement, it's better to have no hidden dangers. Improving by four stars in a year, and still being a Dou Zun, I should be content."

Lin Xiu reminded himself, then unreservedly absorbed all the blood Qi energy into his body.

Slowly, Old Demon Tianming noticed that the situation was not right, and a panicked expression appeared on his face.

Because the accumulated foundation of the Blood Pool over so many years was about to be drained!

"Lin Xiu, you can't absorb any more! Otherwise, the resentment and hatred contained in the Blood Pool will impact your mind and turn you into a madman!"

Old Demon Tianming completely lost his composure. If this continued, the Blood Pool would dry up.

The accumulated foundation of countless years would be gone!

Without the Blood Pool, his Tianming Sect would lose at least eighty percent of its Strength, and he would never again have the opportunity to cultivate young, top-tier Disciples!

Ah! My Blood Pool! Stop absorbing! Stop absorbing!

However, Lin Xiu remained unmoved, as if he hadn't heard anything at all.

Helpless, Old Demon Tianming turned his head. "My lord, quickly stop him! He can't continue like this, there will be huge hidden dangers!"

Yao Tianhuo was a little worried, but when it came to understanding Lin Xiu, he was definitely more familiar than Old Demon Tianming and knew that Lin Xiu was not a reckless person.

Since Lin Xiu insisted now, he must have his own plans and methods for dealing with it.

He glanced at Old Demon Tianming indifferently. "I know what I'm doing. Be quiet and don't disturb him."

Old Demon Tianming was speechless, cursing Yao Tianhuo to hell in his heart.

But that's all he dared to do.

The difference in Strength between the two was evident. In front of a Dou Sheng, he didn't have the courage to act recklessly.

So Old Demon Tianming could only silently curse Lin Xiu, this insatiable youngster, in his heart.

After a long time, the color of the blood mist in the Grand Formation visibly decreased, and the light became brighter.

The tree branches and leaves drooped, their essence seemingly drained.

The bloody smell was slowly replaced by a strong stench of decay.

In mid-air, the red around Lin Xiu almost solidified, as if he were standing in a block of red crystal.

The vast blood Qi energy all surged into his body.

The moment the red disappeared, Lin Xiu finally opened his eyes.

In his eyes, a strange red glow appeared.

Excellent!

Seeing this, Old Demon Tianming's heart swelled with joy; he wanted nothing more than to clench his fists and cheer.

But due to Yao Tianhuo beside him, he restrained himself.

His eyes were bloodshot, replaced by crimson. This was clearly a sign of being corroded by the violent blood Qi energy!

You wouldn't listen to advice and drained the Blood Pool. This kid is definitely going to have his head impacted by the blood Qi!

However, Old Demon Tianming's excitement didn't last long. Seeing Lin Xiu's eyes return to normal, a shock involuntarily rose in his heart.

"You, how are you alright? So much blood Qi energy, the violent factors within it are enough to drive a Semi-Saint into madness!"

As Lin Xiu approached, a strong blood Qi surged towards him. Old Demon Tianming then woke up and subconsciously cried out in surprise.

If he could master such a method, he might even be able to break through to a One-Star Dou Sheng with this foundation!

"Don't always stay cooped up. You should travel more on the continent; otherwise, there are many things you won't understand."

Lin Xiu glanced at him and patted his shoulder.

How could I possibly tell you?

"The Tianming Sect will maintain its current state. When I need you, I will arrange for someone to notify you."

Lin Xiu was preparing to leave.

He had been out for a long time and missed Yi Nan a bit, not to mention that this trip had truly brought a great harvest.

Not only had he cleared out the Ancient Ruins, but he had also coincidentally gained the talent of the Void Ancient Dragon. With the Ancient Phoenix bloodline in his body, he might even be able to research something.

At the same time, with a Dou Sheng by his side, the threat from the Hall of Souls could temporarily be eased a little.

According to the treaty of the Eight Ancient Clans, before truly tearing each other's faces, the Hall of Souls should not dispatch people with overly strong capabilities.

And this trip to the Tianming Sect gave him a direction for further research and provided ample energy.

Once this portion of the Blood Pool was digested, the time to break through to Dou Sheng would be greatly shortened.

"Let's go."

Seeing that Old Demon Tianming didn't respond, Lin Xiu didn't care. Anyway, his life and death were in his hands; a little attitude wouldn't make a difference.

Yao Tianhuo glanced at the ashen-faced Old Demon Tianming, then withdrew his gaze, tore open a Void Realm passage, and stepped into it alongside Lin Xiu.
