I Can Traverse Multiple Worlds-Chapter 65: 30 Years in a Flash

Wang Xiao looked at the formless life form before him, his eyes flickering slightly.

[Analyzing...]

[Analysis successful.]

[Blood River Race Life Form: Its homeworld, the Blood River Planet, is located in the M78 Star System within the observable cosmos. The planet is parasitic in nature and hosts a vast population of the Blood River Race. They typically subsist by absorbing negative energy from the cosmos. Occasionally, they follow Meteors to other star systems to seek expansion. Currently, this life form has spread to eighty-five star systems.]

[Life forms parasitized by the Blood River Race have their negative emotions amplified infinitely before being completely controlled. They evolve by devouring their own kind, constantly metabolizing and advancing.]

[Refining a Blood River Race life form through special methods can significantly increase one’s Spiritual Energy.]

[...]

Lines of text flashed rapidly before Wang Xiao’s eyes.

In just an instant, Wang Xiao had grasped all the information about this Blood River Race life form.

This included the location of its homeworld, its characteristics, abilities, and the planets it had spread to.

’This Blood River Race life form came into being tens of thousands of years before life on Earth. It’s already four billion years old. Its characteristics are similar to Venom from American comics, usually appearing in a liquid state. The difference is that you can get rid of Venom. But once you’re parasitized by the Blood River Race, you’re driven completely insane and fall under its permanent control.’

’This race is countless times more frenzied and evil than Venom. Some Life Planets have even been completely enslaved by the Blood River Race!’

Wang Xiao processed the information in his mind, his brow furrowing.

If the Sect Leader of Celestial Sword Mountain hadn’t forcibly seized half of the Blood River Race’s Life Essence and fused it into the Celestial Sword five hundred years ago, back when the race had yet to mature, this world would have probably been enslaved by them by now!

’Humanity in the Real World should also be thankful. If this Blood River Race had followed a Meteor to Earth, it would’ve been all over.’

Wang Xiao did learn some information about Meteors from this Blood River Race life form.

In the cosmos, there were Meteors that streaked through the darkness.

These Meteors seemed to originate from outside the observable cosmos.

Some of these Meteors contained extraordinary energy and matter. After landing on a planet, they could give rise to extraordinary life!

Many planets in this observable cosmos only began to evolve after being struck by Meteors.

’It seems Earth isn’t special after all. It’s just one of the countless Life Planets that have been hit by a Meteor.’

Wang Xiao’s many thoughts flashed by in an instant.

He looked at the Blood River Race life form before him and said,

"The cosmos is vast beyond the imagination of a parasite like you, who only knows how to enslave others. Descending across star systems is but a minor trick."

He naturally wouldn’t reveal his origins, so he just made up an excuse.

The Blood River Race life form twisted continuously, a red glint flickering in its eyes.

"Hmph. You’ve only descended as a spirit. No matter how strong you are, you can’t exert much power right now. Perfect. Let me parasitize you and see what secrets you’re hiding!"

The moment it finished speaking,

a piercing red glow emanated from its body and fell upon the surrounding Demon Cultivators!

HUM!

In an instant,

these Demon Cultivators, as if injected with stimulants, suddenly had plumes of blood mist gushing from their bodies.

Their auras surged violently. Several Half-Step Celestial Human Realm Martial Artists even broke through the Celestial Gate directly, achieving the Celestial Human Realm!

Under the control of the Blood River Race life form, these Demon Cultivators roared and charged at Wang Xiao.

Vast Inner Qi and True Qi intertwined, forming a monstrous torrent that bore down on Wang Xiao!

Wang Xiao’s expression remained unchanged. Watching the charging Demon Cultivators, he snapped his fingers.

"Explode!"

ZING!

In an instant,

the piercing ring of a sword echoed from within the bodies of these Demon Cultivators.

The next moment,

Sword Shadows formed from True Qi erupted violently, causing the heads of all the Demon Cultivators to explode like watermelons!

A sky full of blood mist rained down!

A moment ago,

when Wang Xiao had taken control of these Demon Cultivators, he had secretly used the Twenty-Third Sword on them.

This Sword of Spiritual was hidden in their minds, ready to be controlled by Wang Xiao at any moment!

This was also an application of reaching the Shell Shedding level in one’s Spiritual Domain.

Anyone whose Spiritual Domain was not superior to his would be killed instantly!

These Demon Cultivators of the Refining Acupoints Human Immortal Realm had been completely corrupted by the Blood River Race life form. Leaving them alive would only be a menace.

Naturally, they all had to be wiped out!

The Blood River Race life form stared at Wang Xiao and let out a dull sound.

"Hmph. If I hadn’t expended so much energy crossing tens of thousands of light-years with a Meteor, you and your paltry Spiritual Energy would be no match for me."

A faint light flickered in Wang Xiao’s Forehead Mud Ball Palace as he spoke:

"I’ve only learned the first half of the Blood River Netherworld Demon Scripture that your Blood River Race cultivates. You should have the second half. I wonder if I can obtain it by refining you!"

The Blood River Netherworld Demon Scripture he had obtained from refining the Demon Crystal only allowed him to cultivate to the Fourth Layer Spiritual Domain.

The Cultivation Techniques for the subsequent Fifth Layer of Exorcism, the Sixth Layer of Manifestation, and even the Seventh Layer of Void Illusion,

would likely have to be analyzed from this Blood River Race life form.

However, if this life form didn’t circulate the Blood River Netherworld Demon Scripture, Wang Xiao wouldn’t be able to analyze it.

Therefore, he had to force it to act personally!

As long as he could analyze the subsequent Cultivation Technique, the Celestial Human Temple technique he created could be further advanced and perfected!

It would no longer be limited to the Fourth Layer!

"Refine me? Do you have what it takes?"

The Blood River Race life form twisted madly, the faces upon it constantly changing.

Clearly, it was provoked by Wang Xiao’s words!

RUMBLE!

The Blood Pool beneath it suddenly began to churn.

Immediately after,

all the blood transformed into a Blood River, descending from the sky and drilling entirely into the body of the Demon Lord, Linghu Yu!

"AHH!"

Linghu Yu screamed and was thrown backward, suspended in mid-air.

His body was entwined with tendrils of blood-red qi that resembled small snakes, and his pupils turned completely red.

The stump of his severed arm was filled with blood qi, forming a new hand of blood!

"It seems you’re finally getting serious. Come on, show me what you’ve got."

Wang Xiao’s Forehead Mud Ball Palace began to shine, and an illusory, phantom-like figure appeared.

He knew that the Blood River Race life form could only display its true power after parasitizing a host!

However, this life form’s Spiritual Domain definitely hadn’t surpassed the Fourth Layer.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be hiding here. It would have controlled the Demon Cultivators and invaded the Central State directly.

As long as it hadn’t reached the Fifth Layer Spiritual Domain, Wang Xiao had nothing to fear!

"Your physical body is much stronger than this Linghu Yu’s. Once I subdue you, I will take over your body and do as I please!"

A raspy voice issued from Linghu Yu’s mouth.

Clearly,

Linghu Yu had been completely controlled by the Blood River Race life form!

A brilliant crimson light erupted from between his brows, transforming into a sun of blood that pressed down on Wang Xiao.

Unfazed, Wang Xiao’s spirit emerged from his body. He unleashed the Twenty-Third Sword, and a Sword of Spiritual like a long rainbow slashed fiercely toward the sun of blood!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Endless spiritual pressure instantly swept out in all directions.

At one point, it even began to affect the material world, causing the entire palace to shake violently.

Wang Xiao’s Talent, Analyze All Things, was also operating continuously!

He saw through all the methods of the Blood River Race life form’s spiritual circulation.

Relying on this, Wang Xiao gradually gained the upper hand in the battle.

The great battle lasted for a full day and night.

The surrounding palaces were all destroyed, and the land in a ten-li radius was completely razed to the ground!

Finally,

Wang Xiao seized an opening in the Blood River Race life form’s defense and struck decisively, blowing Linghu Yu’s physical body apart!

A long, blood-colored river, like a python, was exposed before Wang Xiao’s eyes!

Just as Wang Xiao was about to use the Twenty-Third Sword to bring it completely under control,

a blood-red face suddenly appeared at the front of the long river of blood and roared ferociously:

"Refine me? In your dreams! Even if I have to exhaust my Spiritual Energy and fall into a slumber for several hundred years, I will bring you under my complete control and enslave you!"

BOOM!

The long river of blood exploded violently, turning into a sky full of bloody rain!

Just like five hundred years ago.

The bloody rain scattered, covering an area several li in radius!

True Qi surged around Wang Xiao, protecting him from being touched by the bloody rain.

However, he could still feel a vast and majestic spiritual pressure crashing down on him.

This was a Spiritual Power far beyond the Shell Shedding Domain!

In an instant,

Wang Xiao felt a Blood River suddenly appear inside his Mud Ball Palace.

This Blood River wandered aimlessly, as if wanting to completely devour the Yin Spirit within his Mud Ball Palace.

’What’s going on?!’

Wang Xiao’s eyebrow twitched slightly as he controlled his Yin Spirit to quickly evade the Blood River.

He had a premonition that if he was tainted by the Blood River, he would instantly fall into depravity and become a demon.

At the same time,

he began to use his Analyze All Things Talent to quickly analyze the situation.

A moment later,

he finally understood the origin of this Blood River.

It was the product of the Blood River Race life form self-detonating its Life Essence!

After self-detonating its Life Essence, the Blood River Race’s Spirit would expand several times over.

However, it would also fall into a dormant state as a result, unable to control this immense Spiritual Power.

It could only let this Spiritual Power attempt to devour Wang Xiao until he was completely under its control.

’Then let’s see if you can control me, or if I can refine this immense spirit of yours!’

Naturally, Wang Xiao wouldn’t just surrender without a fight.

During his fight with the Blood River Race life form, he had analyzed a great deal of information about the Blood River Netherworld Demon Scripture.

He naturally knew how to evade being devoured by the Blood River.

He could even turn the tables and slowly refine the uncontrolled Blood River for himself!

This was also the perfect opportunity to see if he could break through to the Fifth Layer of the Spiritual Domain, Exorcism, or perhaps an even higher Spiritual Domain!

Without another thought, Wang Xiao began circulating the Celestial Human Temple technique. He integrated some moves from the Blood River Netherworld Demon Scripture, evading the Blood River while simultaneously seizing the opportunity to slowly refine it into his own Spiritual Energy!

Days turned into years.

Spring passed and autumn came.

Beneath the sky of bloody rain,

Wang Xiao seemed to have fallen completely silent.

But his spirit swelled with each passing day.

The light between his brows grew ever more brilliant.

This refining process lasted for a full thirty years!
