Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 737 - 731: Blood Emperor’s Frenzied Blade

He was only fighting with a life-for-life approach, even if Ye Xuan couldn’t withstand this attack, as long as he could kill or injure Ye Xuan first, he could turn the tables, even turn defeat into victory.

"Be careful!"

Ling Qianxue, perceiving the danger in this desperate move, hurriedly alerted Ye Xuan.

"Break!"

Swinging the Rain Saint Sword with his left hand, Ye Xuan struck it against the blade light.

Hum!

An astonishing scene occurred; the indestructible Rain Saint Sword actually bent like a fully drawn bow. In the next moment, an extremely domineering force traveled along the blade of the Rain Saint Sword, hitting Ye Xuan’s palm, breaking through the True Essence defense, and corroding his Dragon Scales defense.

"What a domineering secret technique."

A trail of blood ran down from the corner of Ye Xuan’s mouth, winding like a snake. With a whoosh, Ye Xuan, propelled by this force, flew backward, landing somewhat unsteadily on the ground, and involuntarily took a few steps back, each step leaving shallow footprints on the ground.

After saying this, Ye Xuan’s gaze was tightly fixed on Huo Yuan, thinking to himself: It seems he had underestimated Huo Yuan. Even when driven into a corner, he still had a card up his sleeve that could instantly change the tide of battle – though the cost of using blood as a medium was a bit too high. But at a life-or-death moment, who could care about that? By inference, those top ten experts on the Holy List would definitely have no lesser backup plans.

"He wasn’t severely injured?"

Huo Yuan’s skin had dried up considerably and he stared at Ye Xuan with a stagnant expression. This Blood Emperor mad blade was a secret technique created by the legendary Blood Emperor thousands of years ago. Once used, one-fifth of the blood in the body would evaporate, extracting the hidden energy within to form an indestructible, corrosive blade light. Although the loss of one-fifth of the blood seemed terrifying, Huo Yuan actually only lost one-tenth of his blood. It wasn’t that he had some trick to reduce the requirement, but Ye Xuan’s last sword had actually shaken out all the blood in his body. This blood, not losing its energy momentarily, was exactly what was needed to perform the Blood Emperor mad blade.

"So he was wearing Holy-grade armor."

His gaze shifted and quickly settled on Ye Xuan’s Protective True Essence. Ordinary Protective True Essence was merely like an eggshell aura, only Holy-grade armor could imprint special runes on Protective True Essence. Seeing this, he finally understood why Ye Xuan could withstand his ferocious attack. Already possessing the physique of the Dragon Clan and wearing a piece of Holy-grade armor, his defense was naturally astonishing.

"Let’s end this!"

Ye Xuan endured that terrible blade light, and his eyes immediately sharpened as he flipped his palm, the spatial vortex behind Huo Yuan rapidly enlarged, swallowing Huo Yuan whole.

"You think killing me is that easy!"

Huo Yuan sensed a great crisis and suddenly took out a brown pill from the Qiankun Ring and quickly swallowed it.

"Hmm! His aura is strengthening!"

Ye Xuan frowned; Huo Yuan’s originally despondent aura inexplicably rose at a staggering rate, soon reaching its peak and surpassing it, becoming more powerful and more domineering than before he was injured, as if possessed by a deity.

"Is it the Domineering Body Pill? No, its effects are much stronger than that."

After taking the pill, Huo Yuan appeared even thinner than before, seemingly just skin and bones. This indicated that the pill was extremely malicious and evil, with certainly severe side effects from taking it.

After taking the Pill, Huo Yuan’s power seemed to surge dramatically; his body released a layer of blood-red fluctuations that gradually neutralized the devouring vortex’s power.

Bang!

Breaking free from the vortex’s restraint, Huo Yuan kicked off the wall of the tunnel behind him, turning into a flash of blood-red lightning and charging straight toward Ye Xuan with a fierce palm strike. freēwēbnovel.com

"Truly troublesome."

Ye Xuan raised the Human Emperor’s Scepter and engaged in combat with Huo Yuan.

Huo Yuan’s goal was naturally to take advantage of the effects of the Blood Emperor Pill to defeat Ye Xuan and even slay him if possible. Huo Yuan had discovered this pill in a relic, where he also uncovered the mysterious martial art, Blood Emperor’s Mad Blade.

Taking this Blood Emperor Pill not only consumed half of his own vital blood but demanded a toll on his lifespan. If it weren’t absolutely necessary, he would never have taken it, but now he couldn’t care less. The situation was such that it would either be Ye Xuan’s death or his own; only one of them would survive.

Now at his peak condition, Huo Yuan was as fierce as a dragon and tiger. Although his attacks were extraordinarily fierce, Ye Xuan’s cultivation might have been inferior, but the Earth Emperor Book continuously provided True Yuan, so he didn’t need to worry about the consumption of his moves. When attacking, he would also unleash his strongest moves without considering the cost, resulting in both fighters sometimes being struck by the other and forced to retreat explosively.

"I’ll see how long you can hold out."

Boosted by the temporary effects of the Blood Emperor Pill, Huo Yuan launched attacks relentlessly, his pace exceedingly fast, with the sole aim of exhausting Ye Xuan’s True Yuan.

"Don’t worry, it won’t be me who can’t hold on."

Ye Xuan wasn’t worried about the consumption issue. Instead, it was Huo Yuan, whose effects from the Blood Emperor Pill were temporary and couldn’t last indefinitely.

Gradually, Huo Yuan sensed something was amiss. With Ye Xuan’s mere First Grade Martial Saint cultivation, even if his True Yuan were two or three times that of a normal person, he should be struggling to keep up by now. Yet Ye Xuan’s combat state seemed unaffected and was growing stronger, filled with a murderous aura.

Even though Huo Yuan had taken the Blood Emperor Pill, which restored his defense and True Yuan to perfect condition, this depletion couldn’t continue forever. He knew that the Blood Emperor Pill only cured him completely; it wouldn’t replenish the lost fresh blood immediately, which required a process.

In other words, his body was still fairly weak; it was only because the Blood Emperor Pill stimulated his body’s potential that he could maintain it.

"Blood Emperor’s Mad Blade!"

With a ferocious expression, Huo Yuan continued to use forbidden techniques. Multiple blood shadows formed behind him as he swung his blade toward Ye Xuan. He couldn’t afford to keep dragging out the battle with Ye Xuan, it would only be to his disadvantage. Better to be harsher on himself because if Ye Xuan didn’t die, then he would.

"Go to hell!"

With this blade strike, Huo Yuan’s body became significantly weaker, as if a candle flickering in the wind. Each use of this martial technique from the Blood Emperor consumed vital blood, and though powerful, the cost was too high for ordinary people to bear.

Regardless, he couldn’t afford to lose; as long as he killed Ye Xuan, all losses could be recovered later.

"Not this move again!"

Ye Xuan was quite wary of this Blood Emperor’s Mad Blade. He frowned, thinking that at this point, there was no need to keep any more secrets. After all, Huo Yuan had already seen the Human Emperor’s Scepter; showing him something else wouldn’t matter much.

With no one else around, if the battle dragged on and attracted others, allowing Huo Yuan to escape, that would be a disaster.
