Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 56: Ten-Kill and the Voyeur
As soon as Xu Yang stepped onto the platform, he felt as if he had entered an entirely different world, completely cut off from the outside!
"What a strange place. I can’t even sense the presence of a barrier."
Xu Yang was quite surprised.
To achieve such a feat, the creator of this secret realm must be unimaginably powerful.
A passing thought flashed through his mind; he swept away distracting ideas and looked toward the statue ahead.
The moment he entered, it felt as though he had formed some unique connection with the statue.
As his mind stirred, the air twisted violently.
A Barbarian Race figure appeared out of thin air!
Middle Stage of True Void Realm!
Watching this scene, Xu Yang grinned widely.
"Come on."
He crooked a finger at the puppet.
At the same time,
Several people around swept Xu Yang with a glance from the corner of their eyes.
After all, he was the only human here!
Xu Yang’s strength had already been witnessed, but they were even more curious to see how far Xu Yang could get.
They didn’t know Xu Yang was an Alchemist, nor that he possessed far more Blood Beast Elixirs than them.
"With his strength, he could probably reach the level of Ten People Slayer."
"But a Daqian person coming here, it’s never happened before. Who knows if he’ll be rejected?"
"Hehe, wouldn’t rejection be better? What right does a Daqian person have to enjoy our unique bloodline baptism?"
...
Outside the statue, Wuo Longyue completely ignored everyone else, his gaze locked tightly onto the light screen where Xu Yang was.
Of course, what he cared about most was Xu Yang.
If the barbarian pattern emerges, half human half barbarian, what’s the point of going back to Daqian?
From now on, he’ll truly be a Kunwu Division member!
Find a wife, have children.
The future Pill King!
Just the thought of it made his heart surge with excitement, uncontrollable.
"Such fast speed."
Beside him, a cry of shock rang out.
On the screen,
Xu Yang defeated the first puppet with a single move.
Once the rest period ended, the second, third, fourth...
All went down in a single blow!
The entire secret realm was in an uproar.
Although they knew Xu Yang’s strength, seeing this scene with their own eyes—so unbelievably fast—was even more astonishing.
Their own grueling battles formed a stark contrast to this.
And even during rest periods, Xu Yang didn’t idle, continuously absorbing essence from inside the cauldron, cultivating.
The tenth opponent.
True Void Realm Perfection!
He was crossing two minor realms!
Xu Yang smiled faintly and struck first.
The barbarian puppet lunged with savage force, slashing down with a blade!
Spurt!
Xu Yang was torn limb from limb.
It was a mirage!
Boom!
A deafening explosion.
The barbarian puppet froze midway, then shattered on the spot!
Ten People Slayer, completed!
Xu Yang lowered his fist gracefully, his expression relaxed; he hadn’t suffered any damage and had barely consumed any energy.
It was easier than he had expected.
"I wonder what this Ten People Slayer’s bloodline baptism feels like?"
Xu Yang gazed hopefully at the statue.
After a brief silence, a mass of blood-red light erupted suddenly.
Like a fine, dense rain swept up by a blast of wind, it enveloped him in an instant.
The blood rain poured down, surging into him!
In the midst of it, Xu Yang shuddered and couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
Hiss!
Pain!
It felt as if his flesh was being ripped apart by thousands of blades; the blood rain crashed into him fiercely, infiltrating his flesh and bones, drowning out his True Essence.
It was several times more intense than the impact of a Blood Beast Elixir!
Xu Yang clenched his teeth tightly, forcibly enduring the pain.
He focused all his spirit, inwardly examining his body.
The blood rain’s merging unleashed a terrifying tempering on his flesh and bones.
Including his True Essence!
Transforming and improving at a rate visible to the naked eye.
As time passed, Xu Yang’s pupils narrowed.
"So this is the secret."
Xu Yang grinned.
With his powerful Spiritual Power probing, he’d quickly noticed the bizarre nature of this so-called ’barbarian pattern.’
The blood rain, as it fused with his flesh, not only tempered him—it began to link through his muscles and bones, trying to condense into a barbarian pattern unique to the Barbarians.
The Barbarians, of course, didn’t need to worry about this; such an action would make their bloodline and barbarian pattern stronger!
But Xu Yang certainly couldn’t allow the barbarian pattern to manifest as soon as he made a move—if he returned to Daqian, what would people think?
Xu Yang tried to suppress it with his True Essence, only to discover it was extremely hard to reverse the process.
This power was strong, and very peculiar!
Unless—expel all of it!
But that wasn’t his aim.
"If you want to condense a barbarian pattern, then go ahead."
Xu Yang smirked playfully, and simply let it continue.
About half an hour passed.
The blood rain finally faded.
On Xu Yang’s skin shimmered a layer of thin, cicada-wing-like blood light, almost like a blood-colored armor, looking quite strange.
The crowd’s eyes widened, and a new uproar erupted.
"Is that... a barbarian pattern?"
"A Daqian person undergoing bloodline baptism actually condensed a barbarian pattern?"
"Hahaha—serves you right for coming here as a Daqian!"
"Now he’ll never be able to go back to Daqian; if he tries, he’ll be treated as a monster."
"Half human, half barbarian!"
Outside, Wuo Longyue and the other top brass, seeing this scene, couldn’t help but laugh heartily at the sky.
Meanwhile, Xu Yang remained calm, glancing down at the barbarian pattern on his body.
It vaguely resembled a fist imprint.
"Of all the martial arts I cultivate—only Nine Extremes Fist!"
"Could it be that the formation of the barbarian pattern depends on cultivation technique and the like?"
Xu Yang mused thoughtfully.
This barbarian pattern felt strong to him.
With a thought, activating it, the explosive strength doubled instantly.
Xu Yang’s heart quivered—sure enough, the Barbarian Race had a not-so-simple advantage over Daqian in raw power.
If he went all out, combining the barbarian pattern, even with Middle Stage of True Void Realm cultivation, he could easily surpass his current realm.
"But it’s a pity, I’m not truly a Barbarian. To enhance the pattern, I’d need massive amounts of Barbarian bloodline."
"Besides, this thing—it’s useless to me."
Xu Yang shook his head slightly; although intrigued, he didn’t care for it.
He’d just tested it a bit ago.
If he shattered the barbarian pattern completely, breaking the connections, its energy would merge into his flesh like the blood rain, further tempering and strengthening his body.
That was more important to him!
Even without supreme-grade, just the top or high-grade Blood Beast Elixirs, swallowed through the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod,
With his current physical strength, he could endure at least half an hour of continuous, fierce combat!
And with absolutely nothing held back.
His battle power would rise sharply, endlessly!
If it were a supreme-grade elixir... A flash of excitement flickered in Xu Yang’s eyes. With a single supreme-grade pill, in the Hundred Beasts Battle Skill state, he dared to challenge a newly advanced Yin Realm fighter!
"Next up—it’s time for Hundred People Slayer."
"Ten down, True Void Realm Perfection, ninety still to go..."
Thinking so, even Xu Yang’s expression grew serious.
Ten People Slayer was easy, but Hundred People Slayer—there was huge pressure.
Taking a step back, he stared intently at the statue.
Swish!
Blood light flared.
Ten figures took shape in an instant.
Xu Yang’s pupils contracted: "Ten at once, and all are True Void Realm Perfection!"
"That means, the remaining eighty will also come in groups of ten."
The difficulty jumped, but perhaps there were benefits too.
If they came one by one, how high would his strength have to rise?
"Come on."
Fighting spirit surged in Xu Yang’s eyes. Hundred People Slayer?
Maybe he could even make a breakthrough here, reaching Late Stage of True Void Realm.
Boom!
Xu Yang burst forth, plunging into battle against the ten.
Elsewhere,
A Barbarian youth at True Void Realm Perfection squinted, staring at Xu Yang, shock filling his gaze.
"Such terrifying strength."
"He’s fighting ten puppets at once, yet showing no sign of weakness!"
"And they called him useless? Ridiculous!"
The youth abruptly shifted his gaze, muttering, "Once this is over, I have to spread the news!"
"But, now that he’s undergone the bloodline baptism and become half human half barbarian, is it even necessary to kill him?"
