Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 165 King's Blood Divine Power and Divine Foot Fruit

In the blink of an eye, Gu Qing arrived behind a Crimson Flame Eagle.

The moment the dragon claw struck, the opponent reacted! A pair of fiery wings unfurled from its back, and using the instantaneous propulsion from the flames, it narrowly avoided Gu Qing's claw attack.

The eagle's face was filled with anger.

“You scum, you have no idea what kind of being you have offended.”

"Today I will show you what it means to be a descendant of the Eagle King's clan and what the divine power of royal blood is!"

"Burn to ashes!"

Of the three Crimson Flame Eagles, only one demon made a move, while the other two crossed their arms, appearing disdainful of fighting.

Gu Qing could sense the difference between them.

The Crimson Flame Eagles we killed earlier were just trash expelled from their clan and couldn't compare to these three at all.

The so-called royal bloodline supernatural power.

They are the direct descendants of the Demon King. If their bloodline concentration is sufficient, they can use the Demon King's power through their bloodline.

This is the blood of the king!

And what the incineration brought... was an endless surge in temperature.

"Chi~"

Thick white smoke billowed from Gu Qing's mouth and nose, a result of the evaporation of water from his body.

Crimson flames covered his body, and under the ever-increasing temperature, even his dragon scale defense showed some scorch marks.

This is the fire of incineration.

"strong enough!"

"However, it is ultimately not your power."

Flame Lord's Secret Manual: Fire Devouring Technique!

With a single breath, the scorching flames covering his body were completely absorbed into Gu Qing's mouth. This secret technique had already undergone a complete transformation. The Flame Lord's Secret Manual was the product of his ultimate sublimation after fusing all the fire-based techniques he had cultivated into one.

Theoretically, it belongs to the sixth rank of supernatural powers and techniques.

The Demon King is only a sixth-rank cultivator. In his specialty, fire magic, it's a pipe dream to think he can suppress Gu Qing.

Simultaneously.

Devouring Dao patterns appeared between his brows, and the refining divine power from Taotie quickly digested the foreign flames, even advancing the Fire Spirit Profound Body's advancement by a large margin.

Highly nourishing!

"What?!!"

"Eat...eat?!"

"Could he be a pure-blooded fire dragon?"

"impossible."

Reactions varied. After a brief pause, Gu Qing reappeared behind the Crimson Flame Eagle, grabbed its wing with his dragon claws, and tore it off roughly.

"Wow!!!"

Under the onslaught of immense pain, the demon could no longer maintain its human form, and a wingless fire eagle, three zhang tall at the shoulder and several zhang long in body, revealed its true form.

Another punch smashed his head to pieces.

In a short time, the situation took an unexpected turn, and one of the three Crimson Flame Eagles perished.

"I do not believe."

The remaining two Crimson Flame Eagles simply couldn't believe that any demon could ignore the Demon King's fire power; it was illogical.

"Royal Blood Divine Power - Crimson Flame Annihilating Fire!"

"Royal Blood Divine Power - Annihilation!"

It has a very impressive name, but it is actually the same fire-based power as the Flame of Incineration, just with a different name.

With the double spellcasting, flames rose from Gu Qing's body once again.

Such an unwise move left Gu Qing speechless.

"You won't give up until you see the Yellow River, so I will grant your wish."

The secret technique of devouring fire has been revived.

The Crimson Flame Demon Flame, unique to the Crimson Flame Eagle clan, poured into Gu Qing's body like a whirlpool as it turned over.

“I don’t believe there’s no limit to this restraint on the power of fire. Third brother, give it your all.”

"Don't worry, with our cultivation at the middle level of the seventh rank, we can overdose him to death."

The two Crimson Flame Eagles whispered to each other.

With his demonic energy and bloodline power pushed to their limits, Gu Qing's devouring source was like a constantly flowing faucet—he couldn't possibly finish it all. It was incredibly thirst-quenching and exhilarating!

The path to advancing the Fire Spirit Body has thus embarked on a fast track, one percent... two percent... three percent...

After an incense stick's time, Gu Qing's Fire Spirit Body had advanced to 90% of its full potential. Just as he was about to reach the final stage, he suddenly felt the continuous flow of fire power disappear and immediately opened his eyes in dissatisfaction.

All the powerful demons who had been watching the show around them withdrew.

Two exhausted Crimson Flame Eagles lay on the ground, their breaths weak and almost unconscious.

"Dried up?"

He flicked his fingernails; the way the conflict ended was not what he had expected.

These two are also stubborn; if they were to actually fight, it would be a different story.

He will definitely get hurt.

Instead of giving him a free opportunity like we are now.

This is equivalent to two mid-level seventh-rank demonic beasts using the fire power they have cultivated throughout their lives to empower him, and the Devouring Divine Power perfectly solved the problem of the repulsion between different types of energy.

If he could, he would like to experience it again.

"The secret realm is truly full of opportunities. In just a few days, we have saved ten years."

The Nine Forbidden Locks, which were integrated with the Crimson Cloud Tower, emerged from his sleeve. He did not kill the two Crimson Flame Eagles that possessed the divine power of royal blood; it would be a waste to kill such renewable resources.

The storage bag was confiscated, cleaned out, and locked inside the Crimson Cloud Tower.

It will come when it has the opportunity to play a role.

Not far away, the Divine Foot Fruit Tree was shining brightly, with more than a dozen ripe fruits, not one missing.

Si Ji was standing under the tree when she saw Gu Qing looking over, and her expression brightened with joy.

"Lord Moxuan, I have sent those snake demons away. This Divine Foot Fruit Tree is yours now."

"Well done."

With a wave of his hand, the entire spiritual root rapidly shrank and was incorporated into a sleeve, automatically landing in the spiritual field courtyard of Qingyun Tower, adding to the treasure's value.

With a flick of his wrist, a Divine Foot Fruit appeared in his palm.

"Yours."

Si Ji was overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly.

"Thank you for bestowing this treasure upon me, Your Excellency. I will be forever grateful and never forget it."

That's enough, everyone who sees it gets a share.

"Let's go, continue leading the way."

"Yes!"

There must be many more treasures in the secret realm. We've only found one for now. Giving her a little taste of the rewards will make the future gains even more substantial.

This time, Gu Qing released the Guhuoniao.

Having just come out of Qingyun Tower, the bird woman still looked bewildered, as if she had just woken up.

Gu Qing sat on the bird's back without any hesitation and nodded to Si Ji.

"lets go."

"Yes!"

The ghost bird was fierce and rare, half ghost and half demon. Even though she had lived in the demon territory for a while, Si Ji had never seen such a thing before, so she dared not ask any more questions.

So the three of them set off.

After explaining some details about the Guhuoniao via telepathy, Gu Qing took out the Divine Foot Fruit and began to consume and refine it.

This treasure is rare, and for cultivators who focus on physical cultivation, it is an extremely valuable spiritual object. The sooner they consume it, the sooner they will benefit, becoming stronger and able to seize even more advantages.

Its main effect is to change the foot orifices.

It is endowed with the power of "lightness," a power as magical as the wind, yet originating from the physical body, and vastly different from true wind spirit magic.

If I had to describe it, it would be an extra, slightly special physical talent.

Refining the Divine Foot Fruit grants the aid of the Devouring Divine Power.

It was digested in less than half a day.

Whether walking, sitting, or lying down, Gu Qing could feel a breeze naturally wrapping around his feet, which would lend a helping hand whenever he used magic.

My body felt much lighter, as if I were floating in the sky.

"good."

My flu is mostly gone; apart from a stuffy nose, I feel much better. I'll add this chapter later (o_0).
