I Stepped on a Bug, and the System Says I Slayed a Dragon?-Chapter 34: Blood God Spell! Grandmaster Realm
"Ding! Detected that the host has slain a Beast Emperor Level Blood Demon. Reward: 30x multiplier!"
"Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the Blood God Spell!"
"Congratulations, Host! You have obtained twenty years of Cultivation!"
Qin Yang’s spirits soared as two consecutive system prompts rang in his ears.
Another jackpot!
’Thanks to the previous fifty years of Cultivation, I shot straight to the Peak of the Innate Realm and was already on the verge of touching the threshold of the Grandmaster Realm.’
’Now, with the Cultivation boost from this reward...’
’...breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm will be instantaneous!’
"Nice."
Qin Yang nodded in satisfaction.
’I don’t think I’ve ever really cultivated seriously on this journey. It’s been completely effortless, like leveling up in my sleep.’
After contemplating the twenty years of Cultivation...
Qin Yang turned his attention to the new Cultivation Technique: the Blood God Spell.
According to the information that flooded his mind...
The Blood God Spell...
...was actually a Cultivation Technique derived from the Blood Demon itself.
A cultivator of this spell could understand the secrets of flesh and blood, using the Essence Blood of the powerful to unravel their bloodline’s mysteries and enhance one’s own strength.
Even a grievous injury wouldn’t be fatal; one could simply consume flesh and blood to heal, regenerating from like-for-like.
Moreover, the most outrageous part was...
This Cultivation Technique allowed one to create Blood God Child Clones, just like the Bloodthirsty Leeches. They could manifest as thousands of selves, absorbing and storing Essence Blood for the main body.
"Damn, this is insane. It’s basically an Evil Skill, isn’t it?"
Qin Yang was taken aback.
But on second thought, he quickly relaxed.
’After all, all living beings are guided by blood, which nourishes their organs.’
’If I don’t want to use human blood... I can just find some Dragon and Phoenix Blood instead, right?’
’This world is full of powerful Star Beasts—soaring dragons, flying phoenixes... If I devoured Dragon Blood and then enhanced myself with this Blood God Spell...’
’...couldn’t I potentially transform into a dragon and ascend?!’
’Hiss... this is going to be huge!’
Qin Yang was overjoyed at the thought.
’If I can get stronger just by drinking blood, I’ll just find some time to go hunt Star Beasts.’
’Then I can use that as the main ingredient, add some tripe and celtuce, drizzle some sizzling red chili oil over it, and make a pot of spicy blood-curd hot pot.’
’Just thinking about how fragrant that would be...’
Mmm...
’Makes my mouth water!’
BUZZ!
Just then, the Ziwei Divine Sword returned, humming cheerfully. It was clearly still reveling in the afterglow of slaughtering the Bloodthirsty Leeches.
"Come on back. I’ll let you out to play again when I have time."
Qin Yang chuckled. With a silent thought, he recalled the Ziwei Divine Sword into his body, but then he suddenly detected several unfamiliar auras drifting in from the distance.
’Hmm? What’s this?’
As Qin Yang focused on the auras, he identified them as the three great Innate Realm masters of Jianghai City, along with some companions at the Late Stage of the Postnatal Realm.
’Did they follow the trail of the Ziwei here?’
Qin Yang’s brow furrowed. He did a quick mental calculation and decided he had no intention of meeting them.
’After all, I just received a multiplier reward and need to find a secluded place to absorb it alone.’
’Who has time to waste on these Practitioners?’
’Whoever wants to deal with them can go ahead. It’s not like they’re going to drop any rewards for me...’
At that thought, Qin Yang pursed his lips, turned, and left, using the Seven-Star Step to vanish into the distance.
......
「A few breaths later.」
Elder Li’s figure appeared atop the building.
"He’s gone again... that senior..."
Elder Li looked at the empty rooftop, his white brows drooping as he sighed in resignation.
His voice was filled with deep regret.
He had thought he was fast enough, following the trail of the Divine Sword across the tops of skyscrapers.
But he was still a step too late.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The other Martial Artists arrived moments later. Seeing Elder Li alone on the rooftop, they hurried forward and asked:
"Elder Li, where’s the senior? Why are you the only one here?!"
"He’s gone. I didn’t see the senior either. It seems he has a rather particular temperament and does not wish to associate with us."
Elder Li gazed at the distant Li Shui Lake. During the battle where the Blood Demon was executed, the water level had dropped by several meters, and a white mist from the evaporation now billowed and spread.
"I wonder when I’ll get to see that senior in action again..."
...
「After leaving Li Shui Lake.」
As was his custom, Qin Yang found a spot in the suburbs to settle down.
The stream beside him gurgled peacefully. The pebbles on its bed were crystal clear, and fish darted through the water. There wasn’t a trace of human life for miles around. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
’First, I’ll try creating a Blood God Child Clone.’
Qin Yang held out his right thumb and made a small cut about a centimeter long.
Immediately, a drop of blood welled up and fell from the wound to the ground, taking root like a seed.
The moment the drop of Essence Blood touched the ground, it began to spread and multiply, rapidly forming a human shape.
Soon, it coalesced into a brand-new "Qin Yang."
Identical in appearance and clothing down to the last detail, an ordinary person would be completely unable to tell the real from the fake.
’This Clone looks pretty good. It perfectly inherited my handsome looks.’
Stroking his chin, Qin Yang circled the Blood God Child Clone, examining it from all angles as if admiring a work of art.
After admiring it for a moment, Qin Yang gave the Clone a direct order.
"Show me One Sword Opens the Celestial Gate."
The words had barely left his lips.
The Clone immediately raised its right hand and, using its finger as a sword, pointed toward the nearby stream.
BOOM!!
The flowing stream was instantly split in two, exposing the riverbed for a moment before it returned to normal.
’Not bad. Its power is a bit weaker than mine, but it’s more than enough.’
Qin Yang nodded slightly.
This Clone was formed from his own Essence Blood. Its strength was only one-tenth of his own, but it possessed all the Martial Arts he had mastered.
With the support of these Martial Arts, it could crush a Postnatal Realm expert with ease.
Moreover, he could share the vision of this Blood Demon Clone, and its death would not affect him in any way.
However, even a Clone this powerful had its flaws.
For example, abilities like the Undying Body and the Enlightenment Space were unique to him.
The lowly Clone was not qualified to possess them.
Furthermore, once the True Essence Energy imbued in them was depleted, they would instantly dissipate.
Still, these were all minor issues.
’Right now, my mastery of the Blood God Spell is only at the Entry Level.’
’Once I master the Cultivation Technique to the stage of Great Success, creating thousands of bodies from one will be no problem at all.’
"Disperse."
After playing with it for a while, Qin Yang grew bored. He dispersed the Blood God Child Clone and turned his attention to breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm.
From what Qin Yang knew, this breakthrough was incredibly difficult. Even a genius like the dean of the Jianghai Martial Arts Academy had toiled his entire life only to remain stuck at the Peak of the Innate Realm.
’I have to be careful.’
With this in mind, Qin Yang sat down cross-legged, and his mind stirred.
WHOOSH!
Twenty years of Cultivation came roaring in, crashing against his True Essence Realm like a bursting dam.
His Cultivation, already at the Peak of the Innate Realm, surged once more. He broke through to the Grandmaster Realm as easily as piercing a sheet of paper.
’Huh?’
’That’s it? It was that easy?’
Stunned, Qin Yang slowly opened his eyes.
’That was easier than I expected.’
WHOOSH!
He raised his hand, feeling the immense Protective Gang Qi covering his body. He no longer feared conventional human weaponry; he could easily withstand a missile.
He took a step forward.
CRACK!
His figure instantly reappeared a hundred meters away, traversing the void with ease.
Such was the terrifying power of the Grandmaster Realm.
A mortal body, rivaling the gods!
