Chapter 236 Divine Blood
“I knew that old woman’s statement was unreliable. How could the fact that you, Luoshen Peak, killed a divine being be based on some prophecy by the Heavenly Mystery Elder?”

Li Musheng shook his head, while the head disciple of Luoshen Peak nodded unconsciously.

He had previously learned a lesson where, because he was slightly slow to respond, the other party would activate the Life and Death Talisman, causing him unbearable suffering.

At this moment, Li Musheng waved his hand and said:

"Stop standing there, hurry up and send a signal for help!"

Upon hearing this, the young man convulsed for a moment, then immediately took out a jade tube from his pocket, directly activated it with his true energy, and transformed it into a golden flame that shot into the sky.

Golden flames rose into the sky above Hundred Refinement City, then burst forth with an incomparably dazzling light, several times more conspicuous than the signal previously sent by the Grand Elder of Hundred Refinement Peak.

"As expected of a major sect, they are all afraid of death. Their distress signal is as good as a flare."

Li Musheng looked up at the night sky, which was as bright as day, and clicked his tongue.

The head disciple of Luoshen Peak lowered his head, his originally pale face now filled with gloom and resentment.

"Arrogant and conceited, how dare they allow me to ask for help! They're utterly foolish and courting death!"

And this is his only chance now.

Li Musheng had just tormented him to the point of wishing he were dead, and he remembered every single detail. When the Master and his fellow disciples arrived, he would repay them a thousandfold for all the suffering he had endured.

Now all he needs to do is endure humiliation and try his best to meet all the other party's demands, so as not to suffer the inhuman torment of the life-and-death talisman.

Furthermore, he was certain that he possessed divine power to protect him, so the other party could only inflict pain and torment on him, but could not take his life in a short period of time.

At this moment, Li Musheng watched as the signal in the sky slowly dimmed, then turned his gaze to the chief disciple of the Fallen God Peak Sect in front of him.

"Alright, if you don't have any other value to offer, it's time to get going."

Li Musheng spoke calmly.

The secret of Luoshen Peak, one of the four major sects in the martial arts world, lies in its founder.

The founder of Luoshen Peak, who single-handedly established such a vast sect, was in fact both a divine being and a martial arts genius who was unparalleled in his time.

According to the head disciple in front of them, such people are one in ten thousand, capable of simultaneously cultivating both divine and martial arts.

The so-called dual cultivation of divine and martial arts goes without saying; they naturally have no shortage of top-tier martial arts techniques. However, if they want to enhance their divine power, they need to do one thing: devour divine blood.

The source of divine blood is naturally divine beings who possess innate divine abilities, which is why Fallen God Peak secretly massacres villages and towns, targeting divine beings.

However, their true purpose was not to exterminate the divine beings, but to obtain the blood of the divine. The old woman had clearly made a mistake on this matter, or rather, the other party was deliberately lying.

This matter may involve another important secret of Luoshen Peak.

The divine blood within a divine being possesses extremely strong resistance, making it almost impossible for ordinary people or other divine beings to absorb it.

However, Luo Shen Feng possessed an extremely unique divine skill that allowed it to devour divine blood. This was the opportunity that Luo Shen Feng's founder had before he rose to prominence, and it became the foundation of Luo Shen Feng afterward.

However, divine beings are rare, and that divine skill is extremely difficult to cultivate. Therefore, only a few top-tier individuals on the entire Fallen God Peak can practice this method, which naturally includes every sect leader of Fallen God Peak.

The reason why the eldest disciple of the Fallen God Peak Sect possesses such powerful divine talent at such a young age is that he has killed many divine beings and devoured a large amount of divine blood.

At this moment, the head disciple of Luoshen Peak composed himself, raised his head to look at Li Musheng, and asked:

“I have complied with all your requests without the slightest disobedience, yet you still insist on killing me?”

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng glanced at the other person and asked:

"You said before that I couldn't kill you, do you still think so now?"

Upon hearing this, the eldest disciple of the Luoshen Peak Sect stared at Li Musheng but remained silent.

Seeing this, Li Musheng nodded.

The next moment, he completely released his restraint on the young man before him, then extended a finger and pointed it at the young man's brow. The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, and in an instant, the true energy of heaven and earth around him suddenly surged, and a strange power flowed through his entire body, making him appear ethereal and otherworldly.

Then, a gaping hole appeared out of nowhere in the young man's right chest.

The young man glanced down, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

But soon, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly reached out to touch his brow.

At this moment, the flesh between his eyebrows was collapsing inward, creating a hole the size of a finger, which was rapidly penetrating and extending into his skull.

Meanwhile, one, two, three...

Numerous, piercing finger holes appeared on various parts of the young man's body, including his abdomen, arms, and thighs.

No matter how the divine power within a young person operates, or how ethereal and elusive their body may be in transferring the damage they suffer, it is all in vain.

The blood hole between his eyebrows grew deeper and deeper, eventually piercing through his entire skull, leaving a clear, gaping hole on his forehead.

The eldest disciple of the Luoshen Peak Sect opened his eyes wide, his face showing an expression of disbelief, while the life force within his body rapidly disappeared.

At this moment, his entire body was transformed into a human-shaped sieve in the blink of an eye, his body riddled with countless bloody holes left by the transferred damage.

Li Musheng withdrew his finger, watching the honeycomb-like corpse fall into the ditch below, and shook his head:
"How many times has it been transferred before it couldn't withstand the damage? It's absorbed so much divine blood, and it's still so weak."

Then, he raised his hand and grabbed at the young man's corpse below. Strands of essence blood, shrouded in a clear light, steamed out from between the countless blood holes in the body and flowed towards the top of the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion.

With a thought, Li Musheng activated the "Devouring God Technique" that he had previously obtained from the other party.

The next instant, dark red veins appeared on his palm.

The crimson veins intertwined with the heavens and earth, pulsating rapidly as if they were alive, and spreading to all parts of Li Musheng's body at an extremely fast speed.

But Li Musheng only glanced at his palm, and the blood-red veins that appeared between his flesh and blood instantly receded under the pressure of an invisible aura, eventually leaving only a palm-sized area in his palm.

Then, the wisps of essence blood, shrouded in a clear glow, were absorbed and devoured by the blood-red veins in the palm of the hand.

According to the head disciple of the Fallen God Peak, even if an ordinary person masters the "God-Devouring Technique," they will not be able to devour divine blood for their own use.

However, Li Musheng didn't care. Even if he wasn't a god, he would still try to overcome the opponent's strength and give it a shot.

After absorbing the divine blood within the young man's body using the God-Devouring Technique, it condensed in his palm.

Li Musheng tried to integrate it into himself, but the special power it contained was extremely resistant, as if it were incompatible with him.

Even though he forcibly fused with his own energy and brute force, in the end he could only cause the divine blood to dissipate and collapse.

"Speechless. It seems that trying to achieve miracles through brute force won't work this time."

Li Musheng frowned, just as he was about to abandon the experiment of absorbing divine blood.

However, a thought suddenly occurred to him, and the key techniques related to the Azure Dragon and Darkness Scripture, which he was about to successfully improve, came to mind.

"Although the power contained in a divine being is very different from that of the Qilin blood and the Azure Dragon true energy, the cultivation method I have improved may not necessarily be unable to be used to absorb other different powers."

After pondering for a while, Li Musheng simply activated the "Devouring God Technique" and the "Azure Dragon and Darkness Scripture" simultaneously, combining the two to forcefully extract and absorb the divine blood in his palm.

A moment later, Li Musheng frowned slightly. He realized that although the effect was minimal, it did have some effect.

However, this also gave rise to a sudden thought in his mind.

Whether it's Qilin blood, Azure Dragon true energy, or Vermilion Bird bone, these things related to so-called ancient divine beasts and auspicious creatures are all independent of martial arts.

It seems that the power contained in a divine being is completely different from the characteristics of a human being, but there seems to be a faint connection between them.

This made Li Musheng start to wonder where these powers came from.
If there is no path to transcendence through martial arts in this world, then are there other ways to achieve transcendence?

Or is the only way to transcend martial arts lies in continuous fusion and evolution?
