Cooperating with the perfection of the Golden Embryo Divine Forger and Golden Flesh and Nether Bone... Chu Xiu even felt that now he could face Heroic Spirits head-on just by relying on his physical body.

At the same time, he gained some insight: "No wonder Demon Energy Soldiers is a prerequisite skill for Celestial Demon Incarnation. It’s likely that the so-called Celestial Demon Incarnation is about further using demonic qi to change the body’s form, until even the blood and every cell contain demonic qi, thus reaching the so-called ’Celestial Demon’ realm."

Letting out a long breath, Chu Xiu no longer pondered over it. The enormous enhancement in power certainly pleased him, but he quickly immersed himself back into cultivation.

He took out the artifact, which contained a high concentration of life energy, obtained through previous transactions, and began to use [Perfect Refining] to repair the Blood Demon Incarnation.

Once the repair was complete, Chu Xiu’s power would be at its current limit.

"Next, go to the Bloody Arena to earn an advanced blessing, and then I can participate in the King Tier Trial."

"With my current power... even the Apocalypse Difficulty should be a pushover," Chu Xiu smiled.

And the subsequent repair work proceeded without any incident.

Under the influence of vast life energy and Perfect Refining, the body of the Blood Demon Incarnation was rapidly enhanced at an astonishing rate.

Five days later.

A massive blood sphere floated before Chu Xiu, resembling a sun made of flesh, with the body of the Blood Demon Incarnation nestled inside.

Suddenly, the blood sphere began to contract, and the flesh visibly shriveled as if all the life energy had found a breakthrough point at once, surging madly towards the Blood Demon Incarnation at the center!

"Sizzle."

Once all the flesh was almost drained dry, the Blood Demon Incarnation extended sharp claws and strode out from the blood sphere.

At this moment, it seemed to undergo some kind of transformation, its figure elongated, and its body like a perfect sculpture crafted by a creator, though still a body of flesh and blood, radiated a divinity surpassing ordinary creatures.

"Thank you, Venerable Lord."

Rasputin approached Chu Xiu and slowly knelt down.

Chu Xiu carefully examined Rasputin, showing a faint smile.

"Not bad."

After all the artifacts were consumed, the Blood Demon Incarnation had fully recovered to its peak state, even slightly stronger!

Through the connection of minds, Chu Xiu could feel the surging, seemingly endless life energy within Rasputin.

Now, the Blood Demon Incarnation was only a step away from becoming a true Heroic Spirit!

"Upon encountering Asura, I should be able to hold my ground," Chu Xiu thought.

Yet at the moment this thought emerged, he suddenly seemed to discover something, softly uttering an "Oh," with a look of astonishment appearing on his face.

"He’s actually here?"

With a grim expression, Chu Xiu rushed outside, soaring into the sky. After scanning around, he pinpointed a hooded man.

That man was standing at a material stall, bargaining with the vendor with a smile.

As if sensing Chu Xiu’s gaze, the man suddenly turned around, meeting Chu Xiu’s calm eyes.

In the next instant, without any hesitation, he turned to flee, while Chu Xiu let out a cold snort, and the Blood Demon Incarnation beside him sped towards the man, forming a gigantic blood-red hand mid-air, dismissing the terrified cries of the camp’s residents, and aimed to grab down at him!

This attack from the Blood Demon Incarnation spared no effort, but the next moment a shocking scene unfolded. The man casually threw a punch, shattering the gigantic blood-red hand effortlessly!

"Interesting." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Witnessing this, Chu Xiu’s expression slightly shifted, looking down imperiously at the man.

"Didn’t expect you’d escape too."

"Long time no see, Asura."
