Supreme Sword God

Chapter 132: Chapter 131: Devouring Power, Imprint Formation Imminent!

In the Sword Tomb, after Ye Chen refined a tombstone, Sword Qi coursed through his muscles, tearing them apart, shattering, then reassembling!

Before long, Ye Chen turned into a blood-soaked figure.

Practicing the Nine Heavens Sword Manual was often like this; most of the time, it wasn’t that Ye Chen truly wanted to push himself to the brink, but because of the cultivation technique itself. More precisely, it was due to the technique’s fast-track nature!

Following the steps to cultivate the Nine Heavens Sword Manual wouldn’t lead to such results.

The presence of the tombstone Sword Qi allowed him to improve at an incredibly fast pace, but the cost... was the endless pain during the cultivation process!

At this moment.

Ye Chen suddenly felt a deep sense of weakness in his body.

This weakness wasn’t from exhaustion but akin to a feeling of origin depletion.

For cultivation, Ye Chen was no longer entirely ignorant and had roughly guessed the reason.

In the past, the mysterious warm currents birthed by his Bloodline Essence nourished his body, no matter how he pushed himself.

But now, the Bloodline Essence lay dormant, and during Sword Body Refinement, when the Sword Qi shattered and reassembled parts of his body, it was depleting his own origin!

Previously, he could endure because the consumption from refining the skin was far less than that from refining the muscles.

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed with determination.

He immediately took out a Storage Ring, channeled a wisp of Spiritual Power to erase the lingering spiritual imprint from the ring, and, to save time, directly emptied all its contents.

”Clatter!”

Primordial stones, weapons, taels of silver, elixirs, etc., piled up on the ground.

Ye Chen looked at Luo Qingyi: ”Elder Qingyi, I’ve laid everything out, could you help me identify which elixirs are useful for me now?”

Luo Qingyi nodded.

At a time like this, even if Ye Chen was bossy, she wouldn’t get angry with him.

Having obtained Luo Qingyi’s approval, Ye Chen took out all the contents from the remaining fifteen Storage Rings.

Thousands of low-grade primordial stones!

A large pile of bottles and jars containing elixirs.

No shortage of Magical Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts.

The silver notes and taels of silver formed a small hill.

This time, Ye Chen was executing a Martial Arts Academy task. Besides gaining academy points for task completion, these spoils were also a significant part of the rewards, not required to be handed over.

Luo Qingyi waved her hand.

The bottles and jars containing elixirs started flying, and the elixirs useful for restoring origin were controlled by Luo Qingyi’s power to land at Ye Chen’s feet.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen picked up a bottle, opened it, and swallowed it all at once!

The elixir entered his stomach, transforming into scorching energy.

Suddenly, a mutation occurred!

A powerful devouring force emerged within Ye Chen’s body, forcibly seizing this energy!

This caused only a small portion of the energy to support his Sword Body Refinement, while most of it was absorbed away.

Far from being upset, Ye Chen was extremely excited!

It seemed his Bloodline Essence was seizing energy.

Previously, he had been too reliant on the energy from the Bloodline Essence, consuming too much of it, leaving it depleted. Like parched, cracked earth finally encountering rain, it naturally absorbed thirstily.

This confirmed his previous speculation that the Bloodline Essence hadn’t completely disappeared, but was dormant; with enough energy replenishment, it could be revived!

Ye Chen didn’t hesitate, grabbing another bottle of elixir, swallowing it all, and feeling dissatisfied, directly took two bottles with both hands, swallowing both at once!

Nearby, Luo Qingyi didn’t stop him.

She also perceived Ye Chen’s condition, which was a good thing, so she let him consume freely, knowing he wouldn’t die from it.

Half a day passed.

Ye Chen consumed all the elixirs for origin replenishment.

He refined three pieces of the tombstone.

The muscles were also fully refined; next, he could start refining the meridians.

Most of the elixirs’ energy was absorbed by the depleted Bloodline Essence, but Ye Chen felt no sign of its revival, indicating an enormous amount of energy was needed for its restoration!
