Chapter 712: Breaking through into the Fifth Tier of the Divine Transformation Realm
The Chaos Heaven Stabilizer Bell attempted to absorb all of those power items. Naturally, that meant that it needed massive amounts of spirit qi to do so. Because the vault itself had more mid-tier spirits stones stocked around, Lu Xuan was very generous about how much of them he gave away. He simply scanned with his will and already found tens of millions of them around.
It became apparent that the Divine Blood Church placed all of their wealth in that vault.
The bell initially had a tightly-packed crack on its bronze body. As it kept devouring one power in quick succession, however, those cracks began to gradually dwindle.
Ripples of spatial waves vibrated around the bell in such an obvious way that Lu Xuan was able to see with his naked eyes. The surrounding air of that bell vibrated in ripples, resembling those in water.
He left the bell to its devices and began to loot the place himself. With a single wave of his hand, the tens of millions of mid-tier spirit stones were all stacked in the expanded Coiling Dragon Ring.
All kinds of treasures were also swept inside his ring until he saw all kinds of pills and medicines which took the Divine Blood Church countless years to craft, ranging from those used for healing to those used to grow one’s powers and whatnot. All of them were simply lying around for picking.
However, what truly caught his attention right away was that blood-red item that was apparently new to the inventory, which was of the size of nearly 1000 fists.
“A blood orb…” He was able to tell what that was from a single look. It was a blood orb that was cultivated from the lives of countless living beings.
He had seen many similar things back in his past life. They were very rare; they were not considered natural treasures of any kind. Every single blood orb was something crafted using special secret arts, from the blood that came from countless beings.
Such secret arts were found in abundance throughout the cosmos, due to it being a shortcut in many ways.
That was why many people considered it to have been a treasure.
A single orb was enough to bolster one’s powers considerably. There were actually up to 1000 of them being collected right before his eyes. While they were well-cherished items that were crafted out of blood, there was actually a vague fragrance to them.
“Hahahaha, looks like even the gods are on my side then.”
He laughed out loud. Those blood orbs were most likely meant for Xiang Tianfang. They would’ve served well not just for making breakthroughs, but also for further cultivation after making said breakthroughs.
At that moment, they all came to belong to him.
He bagged the thousand or so of them right away, leaving one of his hands which he bit down on. The fragrance filled his mouth right away.
The bits that he swallowed instantly dissolved into massive medicinal power. That power cleansed his body and his meridian pathways, making him feel as if his powers had grown for quite a bit just like that.
He kept consuming orbs in quick succession.
The blood all over his body raged like the seas as his powers continued to grow. By the time he consumed the tenth blood orb, his powers had finally finished making a breakthrough.
Boom!
His level climbed to new heights yet again, going from the fourth tier of the Divine Transformation Realm to the fifth tier. The process felt as natural as it could’ve been.
The process felt even smoother than when he had taken the Blood Phoenix Fruits back then.
Fundamentally speaking, the blood orbs gave better effects than the Blood Phoenix Fruits. They felt less aggressive, so much so that even cultivators who were at the foundation stage could have consumed and digested them without problems. The blood orbs were capable of cleansing and remaking their bodies.
Even so, there was no way he would choose to craft the blood orbs himself. Doing so was simply against the way of the gods. Every single blood orb was formed at the cost of over a million lives.
He was nowhere near insane enough to murder millions of people solely to make breakthroughs.
Then again, he obviously saw no reason to refuse when the orbs were already right before his eyes.
He then reached the fifth tier of the Divine Transformation Realm.
Even though he just made multiple breakthroughs mere days ago, he steeped himself in his new level and powers.
He was able to make breakthroughs from the second tier of the Divine Transformation Realm all the way to the fifth tier within a very short amount of time.
However, he was able to have a very firm mastery of his levels; no signs of instability could’ve been seen anywhere in his levels.
Having been a Celestial Lord back in his past life, what he did was hardly worth mentioning.
He was simply picking up what he once lost, after all.
He didn’t stop there. Instead, he kept ingesting blood orbs, consuming another 10 afterward, enabling him to stabilize his powers completely. It was very easy to convert all that massive medicinal power into his very own, refined powers.
At that moment, a roar rang out from the distance.
A figure appeared right before his eyes in an instant at the very next moment.
“Soul-crusher Blood Claw!”
That figure shouted as he burst with the Soul-crusher Blood Claw move, immediately moving to claw Lu Xuan to death.
Lu Xuan stomped and disappeared from where he stood.
The claw attack hit the ground, yet it didn’t leave even a dent or a scratch on it. It was worth noting that the attack was something that possessed the power to cleave mountains. Even then, it couldn’t even dent or scratch the ground at all.
One could’ve imagined just how sturdy the vault actually was. Under normal circumstances, it was simply impossible for anyone else to get inside.
Only someone like Lu Xuan, who was capable of using teleportation spells, could make their way inside.
Lu Xuan reappeared somewhere nearby and saw that frightening claw attack. He looked up and saw someone wearing a black robe. He looked to be in his twenties.
Upon noticing that Lu Xuan had evaded the attack, the young man wore a stunned expression for quite some time. However, terrifying murderous intent was seen bursting in his eyes again when he turned to look at Lu Xuan while shouting, “Who are you? How dare you intrude in the Divine Blood Church’s vault!”
“I’m a disciple of the Divine Blood Church!”
Lu Xuan simply chuckled and pretended to be a disciple of the cult, all done with a moment’s hesitation.
“That’s impossible! I, Gongsun Yan, know all of the Divine Blood Church’s disciples. There is none that I wouldn’t recognize, especially one with your level of powers!”
That black-robed young man named Gongsun Yan shook his head. He was very confident in his memory; he refused to believe that someone like Lu Xuan was in the cult.
Judging from the level of powers Lu Xuan demonstrated, there was no way he couldn’t have made a name for himself.
“Seems like I’m not fooling anyone.”
Lu Xuan chuckled and dismissed the entire matter before gulping down yet another blood orb, allowing his powers to grow even further.
“How dare you!”
It was apparent that the black-robed young man named Gongsun Yan could easily sense Lu Xuan’s casual, cheeky attitude.
He burst into a fit of rage right away, especially after clearly seeing what Lu Xuan was eating.
Lu Xuan chuckled as he replied, “You’re one to talk. Who the hell are you? Why are you in the vault?”
Gongsun Yan laughed as he continued, “After having done a great service to the faith, the leader has granted me permission to train her for a month. Don’t you know that every single barrier in here is connected to the outside? You’re dead for having destroyed so many barriers in here. Those who are outside would find out what you did before long.”
