Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 481: Rapid Advancement

In that instant, Wang Ruoxie’s entire body was blasted away, crashing into countless ancient towering trees.

"Pfft..."

A mouthful of blood spewed from Wang Ruoxie’s mouth, and he felt as if all the bones in his body had been shattered, even his internal organs were ruptured.

"The power of the Tree-man King is indeed far more formidable than those millennia-old treemen."

Wang Ruoxie stood up with some difficulty, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and murmured.

With that strike just now, if it had been any other Celestial Emperor Realm cultivator, even one at the half-step Celestial Venerable level, they would certainly have been killed instantly.

The reason he was still alive was thanks to his physical body, much tougher than the average Celestial Emperor Realm cultivator, though he still sustained severe injuries.

"It seems I underestimated the power of the Tree-man King. With my current cultivation power, forget about killing him, even to contend with him is difficult."

Wang Ruoxie smiled bitterly, contemplating to himself.

"Human, prepare to die."

At this moment, with a loud roar from the Tree-man King, its gigantic hand again moved to strike down Wang Ruoxie.

"In this case, better to temporarily evade him, find a place and use the Divine Power Crystals obtained earlier, enhance the cultivation power, and then return to kill him."

Wang Ruoxie thought to himself without hesitation, his figure suddenly retreating rapidly, flashing towards another direction in the Myriad Woods Forest.

With his speed, if he escapes with full force, the Tree-man King cannot catch up with him, which was one of the reasons he dared to battle the Tree-man King alone.

If he could kill him, that would naturally be best, but if he can’t contend with him, he’s confident in his ability to retreat unharmed.

Pushing his speed to the extreme, Wang Ruoxie soon shook off the Tree-man King’s pursuit.

"Roar, roar..."

After losing Wang Ruoxie’s trail, the Tree-man King continually let out terrifying roars, resounding throughout the Myriad Woods Forest, venting its overwhelming anger.

"What’s happening?"

Xueyao, who had already escaped outside the Myriad Woods Forest, naturally heard the earth-shaking roars continually coming through, her face turned pale, her voice trembled immediately.

"It seems Junior Brother Ruoxie must have fallen victim to the Tree-man King."

A flash of cold laughter appeared in Tianyi’s eyes, but he pretended to speak with sadness towards Xueyao.

"Impossible, Junior Brother Ruoxie even if he’s not a match for the Tree-man King, he can definitely escape."

Xueyao trembled upon hearing this, then hurriedly spoke, unsure if she was responding to Tianyi or comforting herself.

"Then I’ll wait with you for a while."

Tianyi spoke again, but naturally, he wasn’t truly waiting for Wang Ruoxie, as he believed Wang Ruoxie had certainly been killed by the Tree-man King.

He chose to wait with Xueyao because he wanted to collect all the Divine Power Crystals from Wang Ruoxie after the Tree-man King left.

Xueyao nodded slightly, she simply did not believe that Wang Ruoxie could be so easily killed by the Tree-man King.

Therefore, she would continue to wait until Wang Ruoxie emerged from the Myriad Woods Forest.

Meanwhile, Wang Ruoxie had already arrived inside a cave.

Without delay, he directly took out the Divine Power Crystals obtained earlier and began to refine them with all his might.

Usually, for ordinary martial cultivators, even those at the Celestial Venerable Realm, refining an ordinary Divine Power Crystal would take at least several days, or even more than ten days.

However, the cultivation technique practised by Wang Ruoxie is the Nine Transformation Primordial Scripture, which encompasses myriad forms, unified in primordial. The speed of refining Divine Power Crystals is naturally not slow.

Even the Divine Power Crystals from millennia-old treemen can be swiftly refined.

As time gradually passed, Wang Ruoxie’s injuries also quickly healed.

Especially the Divine Power Crystals he refined, forming from the essence condensed within treemen, containing extremely dense wood essence, not only could rapidly heal his injuries but also enhance his Five Elements Spiritual Body to a certain extent.

Regarding his cultivation, it showed a noticeable improvement, and the speed was incredibly fast.

After refining just one ordinary Divine Power Crystal, his cultivation directly advanced to the peak of Celestial Emperor Realm’s First Layer.

"These Divine Power Crystals are indeed rare treasures for cultivation."

Wang Ruoxie thought to himself, he owned several hundred ordinary Divine Power Crystals from treemen, and a dozen from millennia-old treemen. Once fully refined, his cultivation power would certainly see a massive leap.

By then, he could return to slay the Tree-man King without any issue.

Taking a step back, even if refining these Divine Power Crystals doesn’t allow him to kill the Tree-man King, he can continue hunting those ordinary treemen and millennia-old treemen in the Myriad Woods Forest, acquiring more Divine Power Crystals to continuously augment his cultivation power.

In this manner, his power would eventually rise to the level necessary to kill the Tree-man King.

Three days quickly passed.

At this moment, Wang Ruoxie had refined all the Divine Power Crystals.

"It actually took three days, still too slow."

Wang Ruoxie slowly opened his eyes and murmured.

He had expected that in at most half a day, he would refine all the Divine Power Crystals, yet it actually took three days, especially the dozen from millennia-old treemen were the most time-consuming.

If people knew that Wang Ruoxie took three days to refine several hundred ordinary Divine Power Crystals and over a dozen millennia-old ones, and still thought it was too slow, they would surely be tempted to give him a sound beating.

To know, even those at the Martial Venerable Realm couldn’t refine so many Divine Power Crystals, especially the dozen millennia-old ones, without spending several months.

Of course, these three days weren’t wasted. After refining all the Divine Power Crystals, his cultivation directly rose to the Fourth Layer of the Celestial Emperor Realm, stepping into the Middle Stage of the Celestial Emperor Realm.

It was nearly as if he progressed one minor realm per day.

"Still not enough, I must continue hunting some treemen to acquire more Divine Power Crystals within their bodies, at least enhance my cultivation to the Fifth Layer or even the Sixth Layer of the Celestial Emperor Realm."

Wang Ruoxie sensed his current power and mused secretly.

If he can break through to the Late Stage of the Celestial Emperor Realm, then he has utmost confidence in easily exterminating the Tree-man King.

Immediately, Wang Ruoxie walked out of the cave, heading deep into the Myriad Woods Forest, hunting those ordinary treemen and millennia-old treemen to acquire the Divine Power Crystals within them.

Only, to avoid alerting the ten-thousand-year Tree-man King, each time he dared not hunt too many treemen, obtaining at most over a hundred ordinary Divine Power Crystals or a few millennia-old ones, he would return to the cave and refine them all to boost his cultivation power.

After coming and going several times, half a month had passed.

And during this half month, Wang Ruoxie’s cultivation naturally saw a considerable rise, advancing directly from the Fourth Layer of the Celestial Emperor Realm to the peak of the Sixth Layer, just half a step from the Seventh Layer of the Celestial Emperor Realm.

Unfortunately, he could sense that even if he continued refining ordinary Divine Power Crystals or millennia-old ones, he would be unable to further advance his cultivation.
