First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 46: Getting Started

"Chen Mengze is truly my lucky star."

Leaving Guo Zhao's room, Shen Mo held the second-stage mid-level Xuan Water Refining Soul Turtle Demon Pill in his arms, thinking to himself.

Even though it wasn't given directly by her.

But during these days, Shen Mo had gained many benefits from Guo Zhao through their close relationship.

Having a beautiful female cultivator as a childhood friend is truly a fortunate thing.

"Listen to me, thank you, because of you, the four seasons are warm."

He hummed a tune from his past life happily in his heart, returned to his room, and closed the door.

"Let's begin!"

Back in his room, Shen Mo sat on the bed, eagerly taking out the first beast corpse.

It was the corpse of a three-tailed spirit fox, not particularly large in size, easily held in Shen Mo's hands.

Then, "Swish! Swish!"

Under the activation of the Blood Slaughter Bead, it quickly spun.

At the same time, blood lines surged out from the sea of qi, tightly wrapping around the corpse of the three-tailed spirit fox.

With the operation of the technique, the essence and blood of the spirit fox's corpse were gradually absorbed into the Blood Slaughter Bead through the blood lines.

After half an incense stick's worth of time, the corpse of the three-tailed spirit fox in Shen Mo's hand visibly shriveled.

This originally flesh-filled demon corpse had now been drained, leaving only an empty shell.

"Crack! Crack!"

Shen Mo exerted a little force with his palm, and the empty shell of the three-tailed spirit fox instantly turned into powder.

"It's effective, but the effect is not significant."

Glancing at the amplified Blood Slaughter Essence in the Blood Slaughter Bead, although it was clear that it had an effect, the amplification was minimal.

It was far less of an improvement compared to the two demon pills he had previously obtained.

"Let's continue, at least there's a large quantity and quite a few left."

Shen Mo thought to himself and took out another demon corpse, following the same process.

He continued to refine them one after another. After five hours, he had completely absorbed all the demon corpses he had received from Chen Mengze.

At this moment, the Blood Slaughter Bead had accumulated nearly half of its blood color.

"Just need the other half, let's see if this Xuan Water Refining Soul Turtle's demon pill is enough."

Shen Mo held the sky-blue round demon pill in his chest, slightly closed his eyes, and continued to extract the Blood Slaughter Essence.

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

Unlike the first-stage demon corpses, this demon pill was at the second-stage mid-level, containing extremely abundant energy.

With each energy being refined into Blood Slaughter Qi and merging into Shen Mo's sea of qi.

The Blood Slaughter Bead suspended in the sea of qi was rapidly filled with blood color.

"It's full!"

After who knows how long, Shen Mo opened his eyes.

The energy in the demon pill in his hand had been exhausted and turned into an ordinary stone.

And inside his body, the Blood Slaughter Bead was finally completely filled.

"What will happen next?"

Seeing the Blood Slaughter Bead finally completely dyed red, Shen Mo felt both anticipation and a bit of nervousness.

He silently waited for about three breaths.

Movement occurred!

"Roar!"

Shen Mo trembled all over, and within his body, a sudden and abrupt dragon's roar and tiger's roar sounded.

At the same time, the bead completely exploded, and endless Blood Slaughter Essence gradually surged out of his body.

It turned into a blood mist, tightly enveloping him.

After a moment, the blood mist gradually condensed into a cocoon formed by the gathering of Blood Slaughter Essence.

At this moment, he was completely wrapped in the cocoon, and countless red threads entwined his entire body.

On each red thread, there was a vast amount of energy, beginning to enter Shen Mo's body.

As these energies entered his body, Shen Mo gradually felt that his bones, meridians, organs, and even blood were undergoing transformation.

Washing away impurities!

"Is this... a true rebirth?"

This last thought flashed through Shen Mo's mind, and he completely immersed himself in it, no longer able to think.

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

The moon rose and set, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

During these three days, Shen Mo had been enveloped in a blood-red cocoon, sleeping soundly.

In the meantime, Chen Mengze and Guo Zhao had come to check on him when they saw that he hadn't come out.

Seeing this scene, they speculated that Shen Mo might have been practicing some special technique.

Afraid of interrupting his cultivation, they didn't dare to disturb him easily.

They let him stay in the cocoon, accumulating the power to transform.

"Rip!"

In the quiet room, a strange sound suddenly came out.

It was Shen Mo.

After three days of sleeping in the blood-red cocoon, he woke up.

He used his palm to tear open a gap in the cocoon made of countless blood threads.

Finally, he had the chance to smell the outside air.

"Ah!" He took a deep breath, feeling refreshed.

Such a sweet fragrance.

During these three days, he had been wrapped in the cocoon, accompanied by the things condensed from the blood demons, and he was almost suffocated.

When he smelled a breath of fresh air, Shen Mo couldn't bear the overwhelming bloody smell of the cocoon anymore.

Soon, a strong and nauseating smell of blood rushed into his nostrils, making him feel sick.

"Rip!"

He held his breath and tore off the remaining cocoon wrapped around him in one breath.

Then, he ran all the way to the bank of the Lancang River outside the cave, facing the slightly salty sea breeze, finally enjoying the luxury of taking deep breaths.

"Phew, that was suffocating."

After three days of body tempering and transformation, the first thing Shen Mo did after waking up was not to check his own changes.

It was to take a bath quickly!

The blood and stench on his body were something he had never experienced in his life, and Shen Mo couldn't stand it.

"Splash!"

After a thorough wash, he was finally completely clean.

He took out a set of clothes from his Qiankun bag and changed into them. Only then did he have the leisure to examine his own changes.

"My skin seems to have become much fairer."

Looking down at his reflection on the river's surface, Shen Mo murmured, "After three days of tempering and transformation, I haven't become a muscular man. On the contrary, I've become a pretty boy."

He looked at his hands, the newly regenerated skin, fair and translucent, delicate enough to be more tender than a woman's.

"But I've become stronger!"

Clenching his fist, feeling the surging strength in his body, Shen Mo confirmed.

He was well aware of the terrifying changes that had taken place in his tendons, muscles, and bones hidden beneath his seemingly weak and soft exterior.

"This Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body can be considered a success!"

Shen Mo glanced at the information on his cultivation techniques and martial skills, and there was now content about the "Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body."

[Owner: Shen Mo]

[Cultivation: Ninth Layer of Body Tempering Realm]

[Cultivation Technique: "Heavenly Origin Technique" comprehended (3588/4000)]

[Martial Skill: "Supreme Clear Sword Technique" mastered (254/16000)]

[Light Body Technique: "Thunderous Dash" slightly accomplished (978/2500)]

[Body Cultivation Technique: "Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body" physical body (1/100)]

"Physical body? Let's see how much my strength has increased!"

After a quick scan, Shen Mo took out a powerful talisman.

"Splash!"

With a slight activation, the talisman instantly turned into a pale blue curtain.

"Boom!"

He clenched his fist, feeling an infinite power in his body, like a volcanic eruption, quickly crashing towards the curtain in front of him.

[Strength: 6475 catties.]

When this number appeared on the talisman, Shen Mo's face showed an expression of disbelief.

"The last time I tested, my strength was only 3571 catties. In just three days, it has nearly doubled!"

"The boost this body cultivation technique has given me is tremendous!" Shen Mo thought, "Although I haven't reached the Qi Gathering Realm yet, with all the advantages I have at the moment, even if I were to face someone at the first level of the Qi Gathering Realm, they might not necessarily be my match!"
