Chapter 108 The Human Emperor's Sword - The Yama's Prison Slash! [New book, please subscribe]

Mengde's breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm was entirely due to luck.

He almost failed to break through, and then he had to find a third Foundation Establishment Pill.

"The improvement in physical fitness has indeed lowered the threshold for magical cultivation..." Meng De nodded slightly to Xin Ruyin outside as a response, and then returned to his cave to calm the somewhat restless Foundation Establishment magical power within his body after his breakthrough.

Unexpectedly, the excessive improvement in his physique actually expanded the upper limit of his magical power cultivation, which almost meant that the two Foundation Establishment Pills he had prepared were not enough. Meng De originally wanted to prepare more Foundation Establishment Pills, but later he realized that his physical cultivation seemed to be lowering the threshold for Foundation Establishment. In the end, according to his own deduction, he might only need one Foundation Establishment Pill to successfully establish his foundation.

A normal body cultivator's essence blood unit should be ten, but because I unexpectedly opened three hundred and sixty blood acupoints ahead of schedule, the improvement compared to the previous one hundred blood acupoints is enormous.

Using Mengde's first-tier peak Blood Spirit Demon Body, which has opened one hundred blood apertures, as a unit calculation, 10 drops of source blood of the corresponding level can replenish all essence blood and blood spirit power.

Having advanced to the second-tier Blood Spirit Demon Body, he originally only needed 10 drops of second-tier source blood to restore all his blood spirit power.

However, Mengde now needs 36 drops of level-two source blood to fully restore his blood spirit power. Under normal circumstances, one drop of level-two source blood contains the energy of 10 drops of level-one source blood... In other words, previously, 10 drops of level-one source blood were enough for Mengde to have a life, but now Mengde needs 360 drops of level-one source blood to fully replenish his Foundation Establishment life.

However, compared to ordinary body cultivators, Mengde's Blood Spirit Power Bar is three times that of his opponent... his health bar is thicker, and his Blood Spirit Secret Technique deals more damage.

Of course, the more advanced a body cultivator is, the more physical acupoints they will open, and the smaller the gap will be between them and Mengde.

While the source blood enhanced Mengde's physique, it also enhanced his blood spiritual power. Blood spiritual power is a product of the mixture of magic power and blood essence. The purer and stronger the blood spiritual power, the more Mengde's magic power cultivation will receive in return.

In Mengde's initial calculations, he should have been able to complete the Foundation Establishment process with just one Foundation Establishment Pill, even though he hadn't opened all 360 blood acupoints.

It wasn't until his physical strength improved, allowing Mengde's dantian and meridians to withstand more magical power, that Mengde discovered that one Foundation Establishment Pill was simply insufficient to fill his body and improve the quality of his magical power. Consequently, he had to take a second Foundation Establishment Pill to continuously apply spiritual pressure to his dantian, thereby solidifying his true essence and purifying his magical power from the gaseous state of the Qi Refining stage to the liquid state of the Foundation Establishment stage.

In the end, Meng De only reached the limit of Foundation Establishment, almost failing. He needed to find the Foundation Establishment Pill in the Chaotic Star Sea or wait for Han Li on Tiannan Island.

Although the process was somewhat unexpected, at least the result was good. Meng De didn't dwell on the matter; at least he ultimately succeeded in establishing his foundation.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Mengde was able to formally cultivate the "Great Luofu Pagoda Technique" and the growth-type bloodline killing move—the [Yanyu Futu Slash]!

After successfully establishing his foundation, Mengde spent another month studying the "Great Luofu Pagoda Manual".

Meng De found that any blood-path cultivation technique related to his own physical body was exceptionally easy to practice. Of course, it was precisely because it was so easy that Meng De dared not rashly practice high-level blood-path manuals, fearing that he might accidentally kill himself.

This is why Mengde was able to endure for so long, only daring to formally cultivate the "Great Luofu Pagoda Technique" after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

A month was more than enough time for Mengde to switch to studying the "Great Luofu Pagoda Technique," and he even learned the Yanyu Futu Slash in just three days.

"So this is the Blood Sword of the Floating Pagoda..."

Inside the cave on Tiannan Island, a thick aura of blood permeated the air. Meng De sat there, holding a ferocious blood sword formed from blood crystals. He felt that thirty percent of his blood spiritual power had been lost, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The Yama's Prison Floating Pagoda Slash truly lived up to its reputation as his strongest offensive technique. The terrifying pressure suppressed within the Floating Pagoda Blood Sword made even Meng De himself feel a faint, almost imperceptible, threat of death...

"Legend has it that this sword will grow darker the more it kills... Every time a powerful person is slain, it will devour their soul, turning it into the eerie power of the Yama's Floating Pagoda Slash. With one strike, ten thousand ghosts will follow. Even if they don't die, they will be affected by the remnant soul, thus affecting their condition..." Meng De looked at the still very clean Floating Pagoda Blood Sword in his hand and murmured to himself.

"However, how many ordinary people have enough essence and blood to wield such a powerful sword that grows stronger with each kill?" Meng De ultimately did not unleash the Floating Pagoda Blood Sword in his hand, but instead absorbed and refined it again, recovering at least 20% of the blood spirit power.

Just by condensing it for a look, nearly 10% of his blood spirit power was consumed... to put it another way, thirty drops of first-level source blood evaporated into thin air... This is why Mengde didn't casually unleash it to test its power, because it was too damn wasteful.

Releasing 30% of one's blood spiritual power in one go is enough to cause a normal blood path cultivator's condition to decline, forcing them to consider running away and hiding to recuperate.

Therefore, even Elder Xue Tu, who has cultivated the "Great Luofu Pagoda Technique" for many years, rarely uses the Yama Prison Pagoda Slash. Every time he uses it, it is a last-ditch effort.

"Slay the strong...because only the souls of the strong before their death can generate enough resentment, while the weak only have fear..." After Meng De discovered that the Yama's Floating Pagoda Slash had to be leveled up by killing strong people, some strange thoughts arose in his mind.

With my current early Foundation Establishment stage cultivation level and mid-second stage body refinement level, I'm actually considered a strong person among normal Foundation Establishment cultivators... Does this mean I should hold back a bit in future battles, giving the opponent the illusion that I can turn the tables? Sometimes, I can even add some verbal encouragement, like, "You're already very powerful, you're about to kill me, you're awesome, you hit me so hard..." Meng De couldn't help but recall that strange battle scene, and he shuddered, feeling a chill run down his spine.

That's too despicable... Mengde felt he would never become that kind of person.

After mastering the basics of the "Great Luofu Pagoda Technique," Meng De tidied himself up, changed into a loose black robe, and then left the cave to find Xin Ruyin, who was raising the Water Lord Demon Insect.

After a year apart, Xin Ruyin's health had improved considerably, and she had even grown taller. At the same time, her cultivation had also advanced by a small realm, reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining.

The purest source blood would repair Xin Ruyin's body, while cultivation would destroy it. Therefore, as Xin Ruyin's figure matured, her skin still retained the paleness of a sickly beauty, but her bright and deep eyes became increasingly lively.

"Ruyin, your Dragon Roar Physique may never have been a flaw." Meng De found Xin Ruyin, placed his fingers on the meridians of her small hand to check her physical condition, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Defeat is also a dragon's roar, but success will also be a dragon's roar."
