Chapter 204: Pangu's Blood Essence!
Even with the rewards triggered by the Body List, they couldn't immediately convert those gains into power. In comparison, items like the Resurrection Card became especially important.
Unfortunately, only Lu Ya obtained a Resurrection Card, and no one else had a chance to get one.
After a brief wait, the rankings were updated once again.
[19th place on the Body List reward: Pangu's Blood Essence]
The fleeting image on the Body List revealed a tiny drop of blood, but it was golden in color and radiated immense power, leaving everyone in awe.
This was Bai Ze's ranking reward—Pangu's Blood Essence. Though the amount was small, it still shocked everyone present.
As soon as this name appeared, every powerful being present was filled with envy. Even saints, receiving other rewards, might not have been given something as impactful.
Most of those present had never even seen Pangu's blood, let alone his blood essence. This item was of such enormous value that even saints could benefit from it, though only slightly.
For both the Wu Tribe and the Demon Tribe, this was even more useful because it could purify their bloodlines. Bloodlines are something determined at birth and are extremely difficult to enhance. But with Pangu's Blood Essence, this limitation no longer applied.
Pangu's Blood Essence could easily elevate the purity of one's bloodline, breaking through previous limitations.
After all, many things in the Three Realms were born from Pangu's transformation, and Pangu's Blood Essence naturally had the ability to enhance bloodlines smoothly.
[Chiyou: Pangu's Blood Essence has appeared? That reward is too good! If only I could get it! My Wu Tribe really needs something like this!]
[Bai Ze: Too bad this Pangu Blood Essence has nothing to do with you. You can only dream about it!]
[Chiyou: Damn it, why does your Demon Tribe always get the good stuff?]
[Bai Ze: Doesn't this just prove that the Body List sees our Demon Tribe as stronger than your Wu Tribe? Naturally, the lesser rewards are given to you, and the best things are saved for us!]
[Chiyou: Don't get too cocky. I haven't received my reward yet. When it comes, I'll make sure you're all in for a surprise!]
[Bai Ze: You think you can surprise anyone with your ranking? Let's be honest, even the ones ranked above you—can you surpass them?]
[Taiyi Zhenren: Your bickering is pointless. The rewards from the Body List aren't necessarily tied to rankings but to how suitable they are for the recipient. Even if someone is ranked low, their reward might fit them perfectly.]
[Bai Ze: No matter what, Chiyou is only jealous because he saw me get Pangu's Blood Essence!]
This was Pangu's Blood Essence after all, an extremely rare and valuable item. Pangu had been dead for such a long time that even ordinary drops of his blood were hard to find, let alone his blood essence.
Pangu's Blood Essence was highly useful to everyone. Bai Ze, being from the Demon Tribe, was particularly suited to maximize its potential. The Wu Tribe, though also capable, clearly had no chance of obtaining it.
[Emperor Jun: Even I haven't obtained Pangu's Blood Essence before. This item is incredibly appealing, especially to the Demon Tribe.]
[Lu Ya: This is a huge boost for the Demon Tribe. Once Bai Ze uses it, his power will increase significantly!]
[Taiyi Zhenren: But the blood essence contains immense power. Whether Bai Ze can handle it or not is another issue. If he fails, he could end up exploding.]
[Bai Ze: You underestimate me. The bodies of the Demon Tribe are inherently strong. I've also cultivated to this level. Moreover, the amount of Pangu's Blood Essence given is small. How could I fail?]
[Chiyou: Others might not have issues, but I'm sure you'll have problems.]
[Bai Ze: Why do you look down on me so much? Is this how the Wu Tribe views others?]
[Lu Ya: The reward is yours, Bai Ze. Use it as you wish. But be cautious—Pangu's Blood Essence contains enormous power, and if used improperly, there's a real risk of trouble.]
[Houtu: Bai Ze, while this item is valuable to you, it's even more crucial for the Wu Tribe. If you don't plan on using it, perhaps we could trade. Ask for anything, and as long as I can provide it, I will exchange it with you.]
Although the Demon Tribe's bloodline power accounted for more than 90%, the remaining 10% came from their own cultivation efforts. If someone was strong-willed enough, they could still become powerful.
The Wu Tribe, on the other hand, relied entirely on their bloodlines. If their bloodline rank was low, they were doomed. Pangu's Blood Essence was the best way to improve their bloodline.
In comparison, the Wu Tribe needed Pangu's Blood Essence even more. But it was clear that Bai Ze had no intention of trading it, as he planned to use it for himself.
[Bai Ze: Saint Houtu, let's drop this. Even if I don't use the Pangu Blood Essence, I won't trade it with the Wu Tribe. I know many people here want this item, and I'm preparing to use it myself.]
Pangu's Blood Essence was incredibly rare. Bai Ze knew that if he gave up on using it now, he would never come across such an opportunity again, not even Pangu's regular blood.
This was his best chance, and there was no way he would pass it up. At his current level, few things could influence his bloodline anymore.
Without hesitation, Bai Ze extracted the Pangu Blood Essence and immediately used it. This item was far too valuable to leave unused, and the longer it was left out, the more dangerous it became.
Too many people had their eyes on it. Pangu's Blood Essence wasn't something that could be easily hidden—it continuously emitted a powerful aura, detectable even from a distance.
If someone, even a quasi-saint, were to find him and try to seize it, Bai Ze wasn't sure he could escape unscathed.
As Pangu's Blood Essence merged into his body, his bloodline began to transform, bringing immense pain as he underwent a metamorphosis.
To increase his potential and strength, Bai Ze knew he had to endure this tremendous pain—such was the price of rapidly gaining power.
Understanding this, Bai Ze remained calm in the face of the agonizing process.
