Blood immortality

Well guys thanks for the power stones in the last chapter and here is a new chapter as promised

And I would also like to ask if you liked the poem in the last chapter I really racked my brain trying to write something that was of sufficient quality

-------------------------

*Roar* *Roar* A desolate beast in the form of a wolf roars ferociously after waking up, finding itself bound from head to toe inside a large circular cell filled with various other desolate beasts of different species. This is a stark contrast from the lush forests where it lived with its pack.

*Roar!* But before the wolf can attempt to escape, it feels the bindings around its body sucking its blood, making it realize that almost all the restraints are puncturing its veins.

Despite all its struggle and effort to resist having its blood drained, it, like the other beasts fighting with the same intensity and facing the same fate, cannot do anything, as if they were no longer legendary desolate beasts but mere defenseless cubs.

As the desolate beasts continue their futile struggles, their blood, drained by the needles in their veins, passes through the restraints binding their bodies, all converging at a point leading to a large hole lined with crimson red rocks, dozens of meters in circumference and several meters deep.

Mortal Killer Move - Beast's Blood Purification

Chen Wei, seeing the hole filling up halfway due to the large quantity of blood from various desolate beasts, quickly activates a killer move he prepared in advance to remove the impurities belonging to other paths that the beasts have.

"Ahh, even with infinite primeval essence and the toad's help, this is so difficult," Chen Wei says, watching the blood level slowly decrease but its purity increase as the Dao Marks of other paths disappear.

But Chen Wei, controlling the killer move responsible for this effect, is sweating profusely, struggling to stay on his feet as he feels his head is going to explode from the pressure.

"Ahh, even a mortal killer move meant for an immortal is too much for me..." Chen Wei says with a complicated expression, knowing this is only the beginning of refining the immortal gu.

"Kekekeke, what a pathetic display. Men in my time were much more skilled!" Kuang Luo To, who floats in the air, says mockingly like an old man disappointed with the new generation.

"I could if I had more time to prepare as per the original plan... but you decided to refine the immortal gu right now," Chen Wei, still trying to regain his composure, complains to Kuang Luo To.

"Kekekeke, there's nothing I can do. Believe me, I'm angrier than you, but an emergency has arisen that will shorten the time I have to refine this gu," Kuang Luo To says with an expression of irritation.

This is because Kuang Luo To's original plan was to give Chen Wei a month to cultivate and increase his attainment to the current level, which had succeeded spectacularly. After that, he planned for Chen Wei to have two more months to both deepen his blood path methods with his new attainment and familiarize himself with the immortal gu refining recipe until he knew it by heart.

Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. Now, just over two weeks later, he has to start refining the immortal gu under pressure due to a major problem arriving sooner than expected, threatening to derail his six-month plan, leaving him no choice but to proceed with the refining now.

"Since you are such a more qualified ancestor, can't you at least help me?" Chen Wei murmurs with difficulty, watching the last drops of desolate beasts' blood fall into the hole while he continues to push his mind to its limit to purify the beasts' blood.

"Kekekekek, the Heavens hate me, so if I were to even touch this refining, it would fail in ways you wouldn't comprehend," Kuang Luo To says, his expression becoming somber as if recalling past troubles.

"Ahh, so the Heavens really hate a toad who wants to eat the meat of a swan..." Chen Wei murmurs weakly, remembering a classic saying he read in Chinese books.

"Kekekeke, you could say that," Kuang Luo To laughs, looking at the hole now filled with purified blood, free of Dao marks from paths other than the blood path.

"It would be nice to rest, right?" He says, having not slept for three days while preparing for this refining, knowing he won't be able to rest properly for several more days to succeed in refining this gu, assuming the immortal gu doesn't fail in its refining.

"Kekekeke, well, we still have to continue, right?" Kuang Luo To says as, with a wave of his hand, an equal amount of blood starts falling into the blood hole again.

"Ahh, here we go again," Chen Wei activates the killer move once more, beginning to refine the beasts' blood at a slow pace like last time.

Slowly, four days pass as Chen Wei spends every moment refining the blood until its quality reaches a point where even the smallest drop exudes a strong sanguinary aura.

"Ah... it's finished, now the second part starts, correct?" Chen Wei, now looking disheveled like someone who hasn't rested or cared for their appearance in weeks, speaks with a hoarse and tired voice.

"Kekekeke, well, I had prepared for this in advance," Kuang Luo To says with a somber and horrified look.

Chen Wei, standing beside, hears loud screams and cries of fear and mercy, imagining they come from a large group of variant humans, as per the gu refining plan.

Mortal killer move - Demonic Ritual Blood Markings

Chen Wei activates the killer move, immediately feeling overwhelmed again, struggling to remain standing or even conscious.

Meanwhile, the beasts' blood in the hole, under Chen Wei's careful control, starts making markings on a completely black surface prepared beforehand as the foundation for this formation crucial for refining.

Once all the blood is used to complete the precise markings on the ground, another large quantity of blood from various holes in the ceiling starts entering the formation orderly.

"Now that I look at these bloods, they really have distinct characteristics from one another," Chen Wei says, controlling the large quantity of variant humans' blood into the formation, beginning to fuse.

This is not the first time he deals with variant humans' blood. After entering Kuang Luo To's tutelage, he had access to any type of blood he wanted, but previously, without using gu to assist him, he couldn't distinguish between variant humans' blood and pure humans' blood.

Now, he feels a difference that, contrary to his expectations, doesn't come from variant humans' blood having different Dao marks than humans but from something deeper he can't fully explain, like they have completely different origins from humans.

Mortal Killer Move - Strengthening Human Essence

As the variant humans' blood finishes merging in the center of the blood-marked formation, Chen Wei activates his killer move, causing a large number of Dao marks to transfer into the variant humans' blood, slowly increasing its quality.

"Kekeke, this will be a long process..." Kuang Luo To, merely helping Chen Wei keep his mind from collapsing, comments in a low voice.

As anticipated, this is a lengthy and stressful process, during which Chen Wei must continuously operate without resting for six days until the variant humans' blood is uniformly of immortal quality.

"Ahh, wouldn't it have been easier to get an immortal's blood at once..." Chen Wei grumbles angrily, knowing that wasn't a viable option.

"Kekeke, you know very well that this blood cannot belong to an immortal," Kuang Luo To says, transferring a large number of gu to Chen Wei.

Chen Wei merely nods, aware that an immortal whose blood was used could sense the gu's existence and possibly take it during the refining process if they were capable. Besides, the donor's death is necessary in this refining, and variant human immortals are rare.

"Well, now begins the final part!" Chen Wei takes the gu Kuang Luo To handed to him, carefully mixing them into the refining process.

Rank 5 Dao Thief Gu is the first he cautiously adds to the refining, followed by the Rank 5 Bloodthirsty Thief Gu, requiring great effort from Chen Wei to keep the refining stable. The next gu, Rank 5 Shameless Thief Gu, demands every ounce of his will to maintain the refining stability.

But soon after getting this stage of the refining under control, Chen Wei has no time to rest as he prepares to add the final gu.

He resumes by adding the Rank 5 Blood Type Gu with great difficulty, then the Rank 5 Information in Blood Gu, nearly losing control entirely. Still, with the addition of the Rank 5 Human Blood Compatibility Gu, he feels the pressure drop by more than half.

"Ahh, finally, now the last gu..." Chen Wei says with a hoarse voice of exhaustion, his physical state akin to someone who has endured intense torture.

Chen Wei caresses a Rank 5 gu in his hand before adding it last to the refining. This is, of course, the Rank 5 Pure Human Blood, which Chen Wei would say is a gu at the intersection of the blood path and human path, one of Kuang Luo To's most impressive achievements.

After adding this final gu, Chen Wei sees the blood in the center finally merging almost completely, taking the form of a scarlet red praying mantis with an imposing aura capable of suppressing the world.

"Now, the most important part..." Chen Wei says, making a deep cut in his hand and controlling the blood flowing from it into the immortal gu in formation.

"Kekekeke, the blood of a future Venerable is truly incredible human path material..." Kuang Luo To murmurs in a low voice, unheard by Chen Wei, who wouldn't care if he did, now preoccupied with other problems.

"Argh!!!!" As soon as the immortal gu absorbs Chen Wei's blood, he feels a sudden, excruciating pain in his eyes, making him fall to the ground, writhing in agony.

This would be a sight to leave many speechless, as Chen Wei, writhing in pain on the ground, is a respected rank 4 gu master, who could fight fiercely while losing an arm without showing pain. Yet now, he thrashes on the ground as if suffering the worst torture in the world.

"Argh!! Damn! Damn!!" Chen Wei cries, desperately as tears out his eyes, hoping to end the infernal pain originating from them, but failing. He begins to cut and mutilate his entire body, hoping to alleviate the pain.

"Kekekke...." Kuang Luo To watches the scene, laughing faintly as he sees Chen Wei writhing on the ground in pain for almost an hour.

"Ah...ah..ah..." When the pain, which made losing an arm seem like a mere scratch to Chen Wei, finally subsides, he finds himself lying on the ground in a pool of his own blood.

"Kekekeke, ah, youngsters today are really weak..." Kuang Luo To says but is completely ignored by Chen Wei, who now looks at the spot where the immortal gu was, finding it empty.

"Where is it...-?!" As he searches for the immortal gu with his eyes, he notices something that shouldn't be happening.

Eyes: Despite having torn out his eyes while mutilating himself in pain, he still has them intact now, though his body still bears the marks of his mutilation.

"Kekeke, this immortal gu is a single-use gu... it has now taken the form of your eyes," Kuang Luo To says, looking at Chen Wei, whose pupils are now a dark crimson red instead of their previous dark blue.

"So, the refining is complete...?" Chen Wei places his hands over his eyes but feels nothing different from before.

"Of course not. The most important part is still missing!!" Kuang Luo To says, using an extremely special killer move, the creation of a Venerable in human path.

Immortal Killer Move - I'd Rather Betray the World than Let the World Betray Me

"Of course... how could I forget..." Chen Wei murmurs, thinking of his determined decision to sacrifice his clan and family for his own benefit.

"So be it...!!" Chen Wei says, his now dark crimson eyes glowing with a killing intent and a deadly aura capable of shocking the world as he declares his conviction.
