Chapter 721 - Stage Of Rejuvenation

Pip-pip-pip!

Like a series of exploding popcorns, multiple Battle Masters achieved a breakthrough in their cultivation consecutively.

Three Battle Masters advanced to Mid-rank Battle Master while two reached the High-rank Battle Master Realm.

'So this is how the warriors cultivate on this side,' Aria thought as she silently observed the Crimsonfog Tribe's Battle Masters making big progress in their cultivation.

She quickly understood why the secret realm was such a big allure for the various tribes living in the Infertile Plains.

'With just a few Greater Demon-level Demon Cores, warriors at the Battle Master level could already advance a small stage in their cultivation… If they had better Demon Cores than that…' Aria thought.

It was hard to imagine how powerful and how far the warriors could grow within a short time with their body cultivation.

'But…' Aria suddenly frowned and pondered an issue, 'There has to be a limit to how quickly a body could grow.'

There was a certain risk factor warriors had to take into account when it comes to Body Cultivation.

If they transformed their bodies beyond the rate of change their bodies could handle, their bodies would not improve but break down instead.

'Like a small bucket cannot contain the entire ocean's water, if these low-level divine cultivators try to ingest cultivation pills meant for the high-level divine cultivators, their bodies will combust from the excessive energy.'

Although Aria was curious about the Crimsonfog Tribe's Body Cultivation, she did not dwell on the matter.

She quickly shifted her attention to Leon.

At that moment, the blob of blood essence hovering above Leon's head had completely disappeared after being refined and absorbed all at once.

His skin glowed red, and white steam with a hint of redness escaped from his pores.

Even without touch Leon's body, Aria could understand that at that moment, Leon's body temperature was high to an alarming degree.

It was as if his body embodied the sun, burning with scorching flames that evaporated his blood as they failed to retain their fluid form.

Without surprise, Aria was concerned.

Despite that, she did not act on her own accord but waited for Leon's signal, ready to assist him at a moment's notice should he call for it.

Rumble…!

A few moments later, reddish-white steam dissipated before everyone felt a lofty pressure exuding from Leon's body.

"Such powerful vitality!" the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman exclaimed with surprise.

Including the unsuccessful Battle Masters who have yet to achieve their breakthrough, everyone paused their cultivation and focused their sole attention on Leon's body with a slightly wary look.

It was as if they were not looking at a person but a powerful beast that just awakened.

"Such a peculiar cultivation method. How can a person's impression change so much within a short time?" A Mid-rank Battle Master wondered.

At the same time, Leon's steadily opened before Aria immediately appeared at his side with a quick inspection.

"Are you alright, Leon? So much steam was coming out of your body… It… It wasn't your blood evaporating, was it?" Aria asked with concern.

"It was," Leon admitted truthfully before adding, "But you don't have to worry, Aria. It was only the bad blood leaving the body. Think of it like shedding one's impurities."

After he absorbed over 120 drops of blood essence from the 30-odd demon corpses, he barely gained 75 unique drops of Origin Blood as some of them overlapped with one another.

Nevertheless, it was barely enough for him to reach the second stage of mastery in the Everlasting Blood Mantra, the Stage of Rejuvenation, at 102 types of Origin Blood.

Leon clenched his fist and felt his body overflowing with power.

It wasn't just an illusion brought by a major breakthrough in his blood-refining technique but true might.

His physical strength has risen far above the 1-mil jin mark—but by how much, he had yet to find out.

Furthermore, his speed also seemed to have improved.

If he considered the minor and major changes in his body, it was an overall improvement to all his physical abilities.

'Interesting…' Leon thought.

The blood-refining phase was said to focus on improving one's body's regenerative abilities, immunity to poison, and lifespan.

However, he gained much more than that of reaching the Everlasting Blood Mantra's second stage. He did not expect it.

And because he did not expect it, it came as a pleasant surprise.

'Was it the difference in quality?' Leon thought.

It was true that any beast blood could have been used to progress his blood-refining technique. But he used demon blood, which contained the refined and transformed blood of other beasts and demons.

The quality was on a different level to ordinary beast blood.

"I wasn't aware that there was a process of shedding impurity in one's blood as well," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman mentioned before inquiring curiously, "Just exactly what kind of technique are you cultivating, Young Master Leonhardt?"

"A technique from the primordial age of gods and devils," Leon stated without any intention of hiding the fact before smiling, "Why, are you interested?"

The Crimsonfog Tribesmen were all surprised.

They heard that Young Master Leonhardt could decipher the ancient techniques from the primordial age of gods and devils, but they did not know the person had already begun practicing one such technique to a great extent.

"It would be a lie say this old man isn't," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman shook his head helplessly and said, "However, it's ignoble to lust after another person's techniques."

"If Young Master Leonhardt is willing to teach, then we are naturally eager to learn. However, we will not take the initiative to ask you to teach us such a valuable technique."

Once these words were spoken, everyone who harbored desires for the technique quickly had their heads cooled.

"Forget it. Young Master Leonhardt had already promised to help us decipher our tribe's collection of ancient techniques. Perhaps, there will be a more suitable technique for us."

A High-rank Battle Master mentioned the matter before reaching a tacit understanding with the other tribesmen.

At the same time, they were once reminded how fortunate it was to have such an incredibly talented person like the Young Master Leonhardt on their side.

Their anticipation for the future grew immensely.

"Anyway, I believe we have wasted enough time in this tomb. Let us quickly clear it and regroup with the others scattered across the secret realm, shall we?" Leon suggested before further adding, "I may have been cultivating earlier, but I've also overheard everything you've all discussed."

"And personally, I think Darlene's guess of reaching the other side has a good chance of being the correct solution to clearing the second trial," Leon stated after.

He was also itching to put his body to work and test out the limits of his newfound strength.

While Darlene was delighted to hear Leon's words, she quickly became concerned with Leon's condition—much like Aria.

"Won't you need to rest and replenish your blood? It seemed like you lost a lot of blood during your cultivation," Darlene mentioned with creased brows.

However, the two ladies' worries were for naught.

The bad blood was removed to make room for his improved blood and not contaminate them at the same time.

The slight blood loss did not make him anemic but overflowing with energy instead.

Suddenly, Leon realized why his physical may have improved and gained strong regenerative properties after reaching the Second Stage of Rejuvenation.

'A powerful engine cannot exhibit its full potential without good fuel.'
