An emperor in his later years is summoned by his sister to save the nation's fate.

Blood Wave became even more ferocious after being attacked.

It bypassed the Mighty Bone Demon and transformed into countless blood-red tentacles, wrapping around Lu Xueyao from all directions!

Seeing that conventional methods were ineffective, Lu Li's voice rang out in her mind just in time.

"This Blood Demon is formed from the blood of the most Yin, and ordinary methods cannot harm it in the slightest."

"Use the blood flames within the blood nerves! This fire is formed by the extreme compression and ignition of qi and blood; it is extremely yin and evil, specifically designed to subdue such evil spirits!"

"clear!"

Lu Xueyao instantly calmed down. She activated the Qi and blood in her dantian and, following the mental cultivation method, gathered it all into the palms of her hands.

"Get it lit!"

"boom!"

Two dark red, viscous flames suddenly rose from her palms.

The flame had no heat; instead, it emanated a chilling cold that could freeze even the soul.

Lu Xueyao thrust her palms forward with a fierce motion, and two streaks of blood flame, like raging dragons emerging from the sea, crashed directly into the countless blood-red tentacles.

as predicted!

Under the scorching heat of this extremely yin and evil blood flame, the seemingly unsolvable liquid body of the Blood Demon emitted a "sizzling" sound like cold water being dripped into hot oil!

"squeak--!"

A piercing, eerie shriek echoed from inside the cave.

The blood flames, like a malignant tumor, rapidly spread along the tentacles to the core of the blood wave.

In an instant, the supernatural core containing the faint consciousness of the Blood Demon was completely burned and obliterated by the blood flames!

The countless crimson tentacles, having lost the support of supernatural power, turned into ordinary mortal blood and tumbled back into the blood pool.

The crisis was over, leaving only an unclaimed pool of blood radiating intense energy.

"Go in, right here in this blood pool, refine all your qi and blood, and break through to the Transcendent Realm!" Lu Li's voice carried an unquestionable tone. Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Xueyao leaped into the viscous blood pool.

She sat cross-legged, with only her head showing.

With her blood nerves operating at full capacity, the blood in the blood pool seemed to be strongly drawn in, transforming into crimson vortexes that surged wildly into her body through her pores.

……

Meanwhile, in Kyoto, Dragon Kingdom, at the headquarters of Bureau 749.

In Director Shen Xingzhou's office, Chen Yan, an A-level Ghost Hunter specializing in the study of paranormal items, was excitedly presenting two detailed research reports.

"Chief! This is a major discovery!"

Chen Yan handed over the report with both hands, speaking rapidly: "Regarding the batch of Xuan Yin Wood and Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Fruit that Lu Xueyao manifested, we conducted tests overnight and reached a startling conclusion!"

"First, there's the Profound Yin Wood. This thing is practically a treasure tailor-made for those who control demons! It has two incredible uses!"

"Firstly, its extremely cold and yin properties can be used to make special containment boxes to imprison high-level anomalies that are difficult to deal with, and to prevent the leakage of supernatural power."

"Secondly, and most importantly, it can also be used to nurture and raise strange pets! We have conducted experiments and found that if an investigator's strange pet is damaged in battle, simply sealing it in Xuan Yin Wood will make it recover more than ten times faster than normal!"

Moreover... if nurtured in the Profound Yin Wood for a sufficiently long time, there is even a very small chance that the strange pet can undergo a transformation, thereby raising its quality ceiling!

Upon hearing this, Shen Xingzhou suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

Improving the quality of your pets is the key to breaking through the upper limit of a pet tamer's strength!

"Give the order immediately!" Shen Xingzhou decisively ordered, "Issue a portion of Xuan Yin Wood to every active-duty A-level Special Investigator in Bureau 749! Make sure they nurture their strange pets to their peak condition as quickly as possible!"

"Yes!" Chen Yan nodded excitedly, then flipped to the second report: "Chief, there's something even more incredible—that batch of thousand-year-old dragon blood fruits is practically a life-saving miracle drug!"

"We all know that although the Ghost Master can use the power of the Ghost Pet to deal with the supernatural, it is a short-sighted approach."

Frequently absorbing bizarre power to advance will cause the pet to accumulate too much chaotic and bizarre power within its body, which will inevitably backfire on the pet tamer, turning them into a new monster.

"However! After feeding slices of Dragon Blood Fruit to several investigators who were on the verge of backlash, we discovered that... the immense vitality contained in this fruit can not only greatly enhance the fragile physical constitution of the Ghost Masters."

More importantly, that domineering aura was able to suppress the violent supernatural power within the strange pet's body, minimizing the risk of it backfiring!

Shen Xingzhou took a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly.

This deadly situation that had plagued humanity in its fight against the strange phenomenon for three whole years was perfectly solved by the two things that Lu Xueyao picked up!

"Good! Good! Good!" Shen Xingzhou said "good" three times in a row, his excitement overflowing.

"Immediately formulate an allocation plan! Distribute Dragon Blood Fruits according to the investigators' battle merit points! Furthermore, issue the order that any investigator facing the risk of being attacked by a monster pet will have priority in applying for Dragon Blood Fruits! Our Dragon Kingdom must never again let its heroes bleed and weep!"

In the Eternal Night Wasteland, within the blood pool inside the cave, Lu Xueyao's breakthrough had reached its most crucial moment.

As the blood nerves frantically devoured the blood, the originally overflowing blood pool level dropped at a visible rate.

As the last drop of viscous blood was inhaled into her body.

"boom!"

A thunderous roar, as if the heavens and earth were created, seemed to emanate from Lu Xueyao's body!

Breakthrough!

This is a qualitative leap that transcends the barriers of mortals—the Transcendent Realm!

There are two signs of entering the Transcendent Realm. One is the birth of divine consciousness, which she had already achieved when refining the Soul Pearl.

Secondly, within the dantian, qi and blood transform into a sea, officially generating true magical power!

At this moment, within Lu Xueyao's dantian, which had expanded several times over, the originally viscous qi and blood had been completely transformed.

Strands of deep, blood-red liquid magic were flowing within it.

This magical power exuded a chilling aura of destruction and malice, far exceeding that of ordinary blood and qi by more than a hundred times.

Moreover, her physique was also comprehensively elevated through the baptism of transformation.

His golden skin and jade-like bones became more restrained, but every inch of his muscles contained a terrifying explosive power capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks.

Most importantly, her blood nerves have finally truly entered the first level!

With a breakthrough in her cultivation technique, she instantly grasped three abilities exclusive to demonic cultivators.

First, Blood Rage, is a strange, wide-range control and killing move.

Once activated, through magical power, all living beings with flesh and blood, or strange beings with physical flesh and blood, within a radius of several hundred meters will instantly lose control and boil over, or even spontaneously combust, thus collapsing without a fight.

Secondly, it heals extremely quickly, with the body's self-healing ability being dramatically enhanced.

Unless it's a fatal injury that causes limb regeneration, any physical trauma can heal quickly in a very short time by consuming a small amount of vital energy and blood.
