Blood Refinement Asura Formation;
Although the name doesn't sound very righteous, the effect is quite good.
This formation requires a blood-tempered array base and living souls as sacrifices. The more living souls, the better the effect of the formation.
This formation has three effects:
Soul Forging, Body Tempering, and Rapid Advancement.
Ji Xiao was the first to enter the formation. After entering, he saw the surrounding light and shadows change. Before him was an endless expanse of blood energy. He seemed to be inside a scarlet tornado, and from the constantly swirling vortex, wisps of blood energy flew out from time to time, scraping against him.
This blood energy was like a knife, causing Ji Xiao to feel excruciating pain, but his body had no scars.
Wang Ji Xuan's voice echoed from all directions, solemn and respectful:
"Ji Xiao, you have done many evil deeds and killings in the past. Now you abandon darkness and embrace the light, eliminating demons and protecting the common people. Today, you are specially allowed to use this formation to improve yourself."
"You must remember that you still have boundless karma of killing. It is easy to kill a person, but difficult to save one. I hope you will eliminate your karmic obstacles and return to your inner peace soon."
Ji Xiao's mind was enlightened, he put his hands together, and bowed his head to the front.
"Thank you, Teacher Wang, for giving me this opportunity."
"Sit down," Wang Ji Xuan said slowly, "Next, you will suffer the pain of wind scraping bones and fire burning the soul. The longer you endure, the more you will gain. The living souls used here all originate from Blade Beasts, so there is no need to have any psychological burden."
"Yes."
Ji Xiao's slightly chubby body swayed, and he immediately sat down cross-legged, put his hands together, chanted scriptures, and a circle of precious light appeared behind him.
The blood energy that swept around became more and more dense. He only persisted for half a minute before he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. Drops of blood-stained sweat appeared on his forehead, and his whole body was soaked in blood.
Ji Xiao gritted his teeth and persevered. Under the influence of Buddhism, boundless guilt arose in his heart.
When he followed Xing Dian before, Ji Xiao killed, set fires, and committed all kinds of evil. He dominated the D3 Comprehensive War Zone, like a supreme emperor, bullying men and women, and was full of evil.
After he was transformed by Wang Ji Xuan with Buddhism, he went to another extreme, and was in endless pain and torment every moment.
The thought that emerged in Ji Xiao's heart at this moment was how many people he would have to save before he could safely destroy himself.
Now, this great formation, for him, although the body is painful and the soul is tormented, after suffering the pain, there is a trace of stability in his heart.
After more than half an hour, Ji Xiao sighed and murmured:
"A thought of evil arises, a thought of good is born. Good and evil are uncertain, all because of the desires of the heart."
His eyes were filled with tears, his body slowly fell backward, and he completely fainted.
Wang Ji Xuan slowed down the great formation and signaled a mechanical maid to enter and drag Ji Xiao out for careful examination.
Not bad, the mottled Qi in Ji Xiao's body has not increased much, probably increased by about 20%;
More importantly, these mottled auras are more and more inclined to the 'Buddha' power cultivated by Buddhism, which has its own use of purifying resentment and saving all living beings.
The biggest increase this time is Ji Xiao's own psychic power, which is another form of expression of soul power.
Ji Xiao's psychic power is now so strong that it should be close to the level of a low-level S-class psychic esper, but because of the lack of 'Qi' in his body, his endurance is far from comparable to that of an S-class esper.
'This problem can be solved by using the crystal nucleus and psychic energy circuit of the Blade Beast to create a real S-class psychic esper.'
Wang Ji Xuan had this thought in his mind, and then smiled dumbly.
Forget it.
One should not be too demonic.
Wang Ji Xuan was not prepared to study the psychic energy pathway of the Blade Beast, that was Shen Qiong Lin's subject.
The second to enter was Wu Man.
After this opportunity of 【Heavenly Soul Regained】, Wu Man has steadily entered the ranks of A-level psychic esper, and his beast language ability has also been strengthened.
Even, Wu Man is not yet in the formation now. Compared with Ji Xiao, whose strength has been improved at this moment, he can also be evenly matched.
His beast language ability is even more precious.
Wang Ji Xuan also had high hopes for Wu Man. Before Wu Man entered the formation, he specially stopped the young man and carefully instructed:
"Wu Man, your brain is damaged, which may affect your judgment."
"Don't force yourself after entering. Once you exceed the limit you can bear, immediately lean back and faint, and I will immediately pull you out."
"This great formation is not a good formation in itself, nor is it a good means of improvement. The advantage is only rapid advancement, and it only works when each person uses it for the first time."
"Because we now have a large number of Blade Beast remnants available, it can be regarded as a waste utilization."
Wu Man smiled and nodded vigorously: "Sir, don't worry, although I really want to become stronger, I won't lose my mind. I will take the initiative to faint if I can't bear it."
Wang Ji Xuan patted him on the shoulder and transmitted a formula to him to stabilize his soul.
Wu Man silently wrote down the formula.
Without Wang Ji Xuan's instructions, Wu Man naturally knew the importance of this kind of incomplete formula. He would rather die than spread it, and he could not be captured himself.
Entering the formation, the young man sat in the center of the already blood-stained stone slab.
The surrounding blood energy vibrated like a knife, from slow to fast.
Wu Man put his hands together and silently recited the formula taught by Wang Ji Xuan, and wisps of milky white light bloomed around him.
Wang Ji Xuan waited outside.
When Wu Man persisted for fifteen minutes, his own had been significantly improved, but it was still a far cry from the level of an S-level psychic esper, and the increase in Qi in his body was not obvious.
But it doesn't matter, Wang Ji Xuan was already prepared.
Although Ji Xiao has been cultivated by Buddhism and is considered a rare high-end psychic combat force, Daoist Master would not pay too much attention to Ji Xiao, who was born as a villain after all.
Daoist Master was not stingy with Wu Man.
Wang Ji Xuan had two pills in his palm, and with a flick of his finger, he accurately sent them to Wu Man's mouth.
"Open your mouth, don't make a sound."
Wu Man swallowed the pill into his stomach, and instantly felt two powerful warm currents bloom in his body. One warm current rushed straight to the top of his head, nourishing his soul, and one warm current dissipated to his limbs, relieving most of his pain, and the amount of Qi in his body increased rapidly, and wisps of impurities were discharged from his body.
The teenager was undergoing a transformation.
Wu Man didn't know how precious these two pills were.
In Wang Ji Xuan's hometown cultivation world, the value of one of them is far above ten Crane Essence Pills.
Of course, the special effect of Crane Essence Pill on the old half-human mecha is also unmatched by other pills.
Wang Ji Xuan had used these two kinds of pills yesterday to slightly improve his cultivation and enter the middle and late stages of the Returning Void Realm.
He refined three of each of these two kinds of pills, and the last two were prepared to be given to Zheng Shi Duo today.
After another fifty minutes, Wu Man fainted in the Blood Refinement Asura Formation, his whole body soaked in blood.
Wang Ji Xuan raised his hand and waved lightly, and Wu Man flew out of the array and landed on the stretcher that had been waiting for a long time, and was carried to the nearby Spirit Gathering Array for treatment.
From now on, even if Wu Man claims to be an S-level psychic esper, no one will question it, but he still can't be ranked in the top 100.
The total amount of Qi in Wu Man's body has slightly exceeded Shen Qiong Lin, and his comprehensive combat power is slightly lower than Shen Qiong Lin after awakening.
In Wang Ji Xuan's view, cultivation should be gradual, and such a big improvement in one formation…
'The rapid advancement of the Demonic Path inevitably overdraws potential.'
'However, they will not have cultivation methods in the short term, and it is a worthwhile deal to overdraw their potential to gain combat power.'
Wang Ji Xuan turned his head and shouted: "Mu Dan! Continue to crush the crystal nucleus!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Number three, enter the formation."
Ji Ya Le, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately jumped into the formation.
Ji Ya Le, this A-level psychic esper, was a bit watery in the first place, and this improvement was not very big, but his psychic power has been greatly enhanced.
The subsequent four old espers of the Buddhist Hall Squad entered in turn, and their strength has been increased to a certain extent. The B-level touched the threshold of the A-level, and the A-level took a big step forward.
The benefits they gained were above Ji Ya Le, far inferior to Wu Man who had the help of pills.
Zheng Shi Duo was the second to last to enter the formation.
Old Zheng only has C-level psychic power. He used to follow the Buddhist Hall Squad on missions and could only rely on the X armor to forcibly improve his comprehensive combat power.
Before Zheng Shi Duo entered the formation, Wang Ji Xuan directly stuffed the pills into his hand and specially instructed:
"It's a win if you can persist for five minutes, and you should be able to enter the B level! It's very painful inside, don't try to hold on, it's the same to eat these two pills when you come out. For you, there will be no discount in the effect."
Zheng Shi Duo solemnly nodded, and the already thin he raised his head and straightened his chest, and shouted in a serious manner: "I must not shame the espers who came from the front-line soldiers!"
After saying that, he let out a strange cry, tore off his camouflage short sleeves, and plunged into the great formation.
Five minutes later, Zheng Shi Duo had reached his limit, and he was sitting cross-legged, his whole body was red and shaking constantly.
Wang Ji Xuan was about to take action to save people, Zheng Shi Duo suddenly made a sound… a sound that is difficult to describe…
"Ah ha—cool!"
Wang Ji Xuan: …
Mechanical bodies waiting outside the formation: …
Then, that kind of 'corrupt and decadent sound' was endless.
"Oh hoo! Cool! Increase the intensity! One more time!"
The latest and fastest novel is at Six Nine Book Bar!
"It's so cool!"
"Um ah~ I have found myself, I am about to reach the peak, my heart is surging, this is the truth I have been pursuing for decades… Pain, pain comes more fiercely, only pain can make me exist, um… it's so cool…"
"Come on! Hahaha!"
After persisting for another five minutes, Zheng Shi Duo directly swallowed two pills.
He was quiet for about eight minutes afterward, and then began to shout again and again, and his physical condition continued to improve, especially the increase in psychic power was very terrifying.
Wang Ji Xuan couldn't help but raise his hand to support his forehead.
He never thought that the character of Old Zheng, a bastard, and his unpopular hobby, would play such a unique role at this time.
It's just…
The formation is dirty.
Wang Ji Xuan looked sympathetically at the last player to enter the formation today.
— Right next to him, the Crimson Snake was cultivating the ‘Transformation Art’ in a strange posture. It had been doing so for the past eight or nine days.
On this day, Zheng Shiduo persisted in the formation for forty-seven minutes. When he finally fainted, a happy smile adorned his face.
His amplification was terrifying. His psychic power level was equivalent to a B+ grade psychic esper, and his body enhancement level was equivalent to a B- grade body enhancement esper.
The purpose of this grand formation was to enhance psychic power and strengthen the body.
The drawbacks were also obvious. Despite the grand formation and the pills, and even Wang Ji Xuan personally refining some remnants of Blade Beast souls to feed Zheng Shiduo, Zheng Shiduo's total spiritual energy was still slightly low after the upgrade, barely reaching the B grade.
But it was still good.
Wang Ji Xuan had already decided that if Shen Qionglin wanted to conduct a ‘Blade Beast Crystal Core Transplantation Experiment’ later on, he would use Zheng Shiduo as the guinea pig.
This guy's endurance was unmatched!
Afterward, Wang Ji Xuan had the Crimson Snake enter the formation, fully activating it. He crushed more than two thousand crystal cores beside the formation, using the formation to pulverize the remnants of the Blade Beast souls and send them into the formation for the Crimson Snake to devour.
The Crimson Snake's strength increased significantly, its own soul received a noticeable boost, and its sub-King-level body was strengthened.
However, the King-level crystal core remained unchanged.
The Crimson Snake's transformation progress took a big step forward, with its body and soul now preliminarily fused.
Wang Ji Xuan didn't ask for more, afraid that being too greedy would ultimately harm the Crimson Snake.
In the evening, after everyone woke up, he held a small meeting for a simple summary.
The Buddha Hall squad had collectively upgraded, and their overall combat power had risen to a higher level.
The Crimson Snake's strength had obviously increased.
As for Wang Ji Xuan himself... he would naturally avoid overdrafting his potential if possible. After all, his ultimate goal in cultivation was to ascend to immortality. Unless it was an emergency, he had to consider the long term.
Then, Wang Ji Xuan officially issued the combat order.
"In a few days, we will take the initiative to attack the Beast Speaker and that King-level Evangelist."
Wang Ji Xuan said quickly:
"This operation is an offensive one. We don't have geographical advantages, so we can only pursue timing, and unity."
"The Buddha Hall squad is a whole. Only when you combine your strengths can you hope to kill the Beast Speaker."
"I will act with the Peak Maid Corps, and there will also be second-generation semi-human mechs with me to find that King-level Evangelist."
"It is said that there are only seven of those things on this planet. When the Pillar-level Blade Beasts are dormant, they are the actual rulers of the Blade Beasts. Killing one will severely cripple the Blade Beasts!"
"Everyone!"
"Human civilization has been suffering this ordeal for a hundred years. The cumulative death toll has exceeded ten billion. Humans and Blade Beasts have a deep blood feud, yet we have been unable to take the initiative to settle the score. We have been passively beaten, even divided and surrounded by the Blade Beasts!"
"I hope that our initiative this time can be successful and become the clarion call for human civilization to counterattack the Blade Beasts."
"I won't say too many nice words. In short, prepare well, make sufficient emergency plans, and give the Beast Speaker a fatal blow!"
"This kind of traitor must be eliminated!"
"Yes!"
...
Five days later.
An invisible transport plane took off from Fortress 76, secretly heading to a military fortress in the northeast of the D5 Integrated War Zone.
Wang Ji Xuan was hiding on this plane with eight loyal mechs dressed in various maid outfits.
Along with them were more than three hundred crystal core greatswords and three thousand accompanying pure crystal cores.
As time went on, Wang Ji Xuan's weapon refining achievements had been widely promoted in the D5 Integrated War Zone.
Driven by the terrifying industrial capacity of D5:
Small and medium-sized Demon-Breaking Daggers had been equipped by frontline troops;
Taiji Disks that defend against ordinary mental shocks had been fully equipped by special forces;
Crystal core greatswords and spears had been fully equipped by semi-human mech units, general enhanced special forces, and frontline spiritual energy units.
These things could comprehensively improve the individual combat capabilities of frontline troops.
However, for the overall war situation, powerful firepower was still the main focus. These individual weapons only helped the soldiers improve their chances of survival when encountering small groups of Blade Beasts or breaking through defenses from underground.
The Blade Beast Elimination Operation had entered the countdown;
The major Blade Beast groups had not yet had time to complete their assembly, and the location of the Beast Speaker had been basically locked by Wu Man.
"Ding ding ~"
Peony simulated the sound of a message coming in from the back seat.
"Huh?" Wang Ji Xuan didn't even open his eyes, continuing to meditate in his seat. "What's wrong?"
Peony whispered, "I just got news that the semi-human mech group is also resting in our target military fortress. Commander Ling Tong is also there. They are also preparing to attack… To be precise, their actions will be a feint for our operation, attracting the attention of the Blade Beast groups, and then taking the opportunity to find that King-level Evangelist."
Wang Ji Xuan nodded. "And then?"
"You haven't met Commander Ling Tong for a long time."
Peony cleared her throat and said softly:
"Generally speaking, this kind of reunion is most suitable for rapidly warming up feelings. Commander, you might as well try a bolder move. If she doesn't resist, won't the relationship move forward?"
"Is your definition of a support unit referring to romance?"
"Uh, it's combat. Peony is of course a combat support unit!"
"If you talk too much, I'll punish you to swallow a nuclear battery," Wang Ji Xuan scolded irritably. "You're even managing me now. Go rest."
"Oh," Peony pouted aggrievedly.
Wang Ji Xuan prepared some pills to give to Ling Tong and Shen Hai.
As for the other semi-human mechs… Beta only had so much hair, so he could only supplement it later.
The image of Ling Tong leaning against the wall in her military uniform, with a hint of panic in her eyes, surfaced in Wang Daoren's mind, and his Dao heart couldn't help but ripple.
Experiencing the world of mortals… neither indulgent nor suppressive.
Although Wang Ji Xuan was confident that his Dao body was flawless, he hadn't yet reached the stage of abstaining from grains after all…
"Peony, do you have any chewing gum? Give me one."
