80: Chapter 80 The Realm of a Magnetic Field Rotating by One Million Horsepower—Beckoning to Him!

Qinghua County, Xiao Mansion.

Xiao Chang stood in the main hall of the Xiao Mansion, gazing up at the black curtain in the sky.

That was the veil cast by the domain of the Black Water Demon.

As long as this veil existed, Mortals inside could not bypass the domain's envelopment, whether they flew through the sky or burrowed underground.

Unless force was used to blast a hole in the domain, or the Black Water Demon was Sealed away.

Otherwise, there was no way for the common people in the county to escape the domain.

"Counting the time, Brother Qin should already be engaged in battle with that Black Water Demon..."

Xiao Chang thought to himself with worry.

Although he knew Brother Qin hailed from a top-tier sect like the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, and that Brother Qin possessed powerful strength and extraordinary talent...

But... that was a demon, after all!

A demon with immensely powerful regenerative abilities, capable of recovering completely in a brief moment even if hacked into pieces!

Brother Qin was merely a Martial Cultivator. Dealing with enemies of the Human Race was fine, but against a demonic creature... his skillset was completely wrong.

"However, since Brother Qin was so confident, he must have mastered his sect's Legacy and possessed methods to Seal demons..."

Just as Xiao Chang was thinking, his thoughts suddenly ground to a halt.

Simply because...

Before his eyes, a gap abruptly cracked open in the cage-like pitch-black domain spanning the sky.

Brilliant daylight shone through that gap into Qinghua County.

Bright sunshine pierced through the dark sky like raindrops, falling upon the windowsill of the Xiao Mansion's hall.

"Look! What's that!?"

"The sun! The sun is out!"

"Wait, the Black Water Demon's domain... is dissipating! It's dispersing!"

Outside the hall, the townspeople noticed the anomaly in the sky and instantly erupted into waves of excited commotion.

At the same time...

As the shower of sunlight grew broader and brighter, the pitch-black domain covering the sky dissolved rapidly like a popped bubble.

Xiao Chang walked dazedly to the windowsill, feeling the sunshine he hadn't seen in days spill over his body.

Listening to the excited cheers of the crowd outside, he felt a surreal sensation wash over him.

"Is it... over?"

Xiao Chang felt it was utterly incredible.

Two and a half days ago, all of Qinghua County was enveloped by the Black Water Demon's domain. Many civilians were killed right away and turned into Black Water Demon puppets.

These puppets were agile, numerous, and had slaughtered even more civilians.

At that time, whether it was Xiao Chang or the residents of Qinghua County, despair was all that remained in their hearts.

Because the court of Huoyun Country had always handled demonic disasters with a policy of containment.

Namely, quarantining any location where a demon appeared, never sending troops or Martial Cultivators to render aid.

Based on past experience, after a demon harvested enough flesh and blood, it would leave on its own without occupying a town permanently.

Therefore, only after the demon departed would the court send people to clean up the aftermath, relocate citizens from elsewhere, and rebuild the ruined county town.

In other words, from the moment they were shrouded in the domain, the people of Qinghua County were never going to receive any rescue.

Their only hope was to wait.

Wait until others were consumed by the Black Water Demon, wait until the Black Water Demon was full, and wait until it left on its own.

Yet, this sort of anticipation was essentially no different from passively waiting to die; it was hardly real hope at all.

And yet, against all odds, they had actually received hope!

What was more, this hope had come so swiftly and so timely!

Qin Muyuan had only just accepted the task to head to the center of the county town to deal with the Black Water Demon.

The next moment, the domain was destroyed, and the sky turned bright!

The sun was shining down once more!

Xiao Chang took a deep breath, stepped out of the hall into the excited crowd, and declared loudly:

"Everyone! The sky has cleared, and the domain has dispersed!"

"This is all thanks to Hero Qin Muyuan—we are saved!"

...

On the other side...

Watching the Black Water Demon dissipate, a look of regret flashed across Qin Muyuan's face:

"Looks like this is the limit of the Black Water Demon. Not a single drop left..."

He had originally thought that after he squeezed all the demonic blood out of the Black Water Demon, it would still be able to revive.

But as it turned out, the key to the Black Water Demon's endless revival was the power of the demonic blood inside its body.

Without the demonic blood, it couldn't furiously heal itself and recover from injuries like a mechanic-gated boss.

All in all...

"A boss mechanic with a weakness like this is just too weak!"

Qin Muyuan shook his head.

Nevertheless, by absorbing the Black Water Demon's demonic blood, he had thoroughly enjoyed himself.

[sea of corpses and blood has absorbed enough blood of the strong. Special Effect 3 unlocked.]

[sea of corpses and blood]

[Quality: Green]

[Entirely blood-red in color...]

[Special Effect 1: ...]

[Special Effect 2: ...]

[Special Effect 3: Stabbing sea of corpses and blood into yourself injects purified "Blood of the Strong". Upon absorption, you enter the "Blood Calamity" state—sanity decreases by 100%, blood-Qi utilization efficiency increases by 500%, and every hit dealt to an enemy drains their blood to heal your own injuries.]

[Note: Due to possessing the Gold Talent "I Love Killing", the sanity change is modified from -100% to -50%.]

"'Blood Calamity'? Just go into a frenzy and start hacking away?"

Qin Muyuan nodded. Special Effect 3 of the sea of corpses and blood was actually quite decent.

With a 500% boost to blood-Qi utilization, his Blood Fiend Sword Rays would also benefit from this enhancement.

The stronger the Blood Fiend Sword Rays, the higher their attack power and sharpness.

When fighting a boss of Zhao Miaonv's level in the future, he wouldn't have to worry about dirtying his weapon anymore.

He continued checking his panel.

[Furnace All-Things Technique (Martial Master Realm) -> Furnace All-Things Technique (Qi-Blood First Transformation)]

[Qi-Blood First Transformation: Your Qi and blood will rage as scalding and surging as a furnace.]

The first Realm of the Qi-Blood Realm was called Qi-Blood First Transformation.

Qin Muyuan learned from the panel that the Qi-Blood Realm was divided from First Transformation to Fourth Transformation.

With each transformation elevated, a Martial Cultivator's internal Qi and blood power would surge further, making their Physical Body even stronger.

"In other words, during the Qi-Blood Realm, a Martial Cultivator's main enhancement is Physical Body strength."

Qin Muyuan thought to himself.

Other Martial Artists or even Martial Masters, even if they swallowed a demonic blood body-planting pill, couldn't match his Physical Body strength back when he was still a First-Rate Martial Artist.

Back when he was a First-Rate Martial Artist, he couldn't deal with Yushui.

Therefore, ordinary Martial Artists and Martial Masters facing Immortal Cultivators were basically destined to be sliced like vegetables and one-shot killed.

But upon reaching the Qi-Blood Realm, strengthening the Physical Body through elevating Qi and blood gave Martial Cultivators the qualification to fight Immortal Cultivators.

Only then would they not be blasted to death by a single Spell.

Each transformation of a Martial Cultivator corresponded to a sub-Realm of an Immortal Cultivator.

First Transformation corresponded to the Early Stage of Qi Refining, Second Transformation to the Middle Stage, and Third Transformation to the Late Stage.

And Fourth Transformation corresponded to Qi Refining Perfection.

"However, with my 'I Love Killing' talent, my Physical Body was already strong to begin with."

"And now that I've reached Qi-Blood First Transformation..."

Qin Muyuan opened his palm, then clutched his hand into a fist with a slight exertion of force.

Bang!

A sonic boom abruptly erupted from the center of his palm.

This sight drew a chuckle from Qin Muyuan.

He then slapped his palm against his chest.

Thump, thump, thump!

Instantly, the roars of dragons and tigers alongside the clashing of metallic stone resounded.

"I can feel it! I can feel it!"

Qin Muyuan felt it.

The Realm of One Million Horsepower Magnetic Field Rotation—is waving at me, dang it!
