47. Destroyed the Blood Soul Envoy’s Great Work

Tick!

‘Hm? What’s this?’

Tick tick!

‘This is?’

Kang Hyeon’s consciousness, which had been staying in the Mental Space, perceived something outside the Mental Space.

It was truly a faint feeling.

But the fact that it was felt from outside the Mental Space was very important.

‘Outside! My body!’

Kang Hyeon realized that this sensation was coming from his own body.

And he thought that this might be the moment he had been waiting for all this time.

‘Perception is the manifestation of consciousness. So right now, my consciousness is touching part of my body. The Old Monster’s blood must have shown a weakness.’

A crack had appeared in part of his body that had been completely occupied by the Old Monster’s thoughts.

Immediately, Kang Hyeon pushed Trent’s summoned roots outside the Mental Space, into his own body.

Thuuuung!

‘Urgh!’

At that moment, tremendous resistance was transmitted through Trent’s roots.

No, it felt like more than resistance—it was like a predatory aura trying to devour Trent’s roots.

‘No! Don’t get devoured, devour it! Use the Absorption Divine Ability!’

Kang Hyeon commanded Trent.

In fact, Trent, connected by soul and practically one body with him, had already been manifesting the Absorption Divine Ability from the moment it extended its roots outside the Mental Space.

And the resistance or predatory aura that Kang Hyeon felt was the aftermath of the collision between Trent’s manifested Absorption Divine Ability and the power contained in the Old Monster’s blood.

Sssssslurp! Ssslurp! Slurp!

Tsuuuup! Chuaaaap!

Trent’s Absorption Divine Ability worked weakly at first, but soon grew like a snowball and rapidly absorbed the Old Monster’s blood.

And at that time, the Blood Soul Envoy, who was proceeding with the final process of refining the Ten Thousand Lives Blood Qi Pill, was startled by the sudden change.

He had absorbed all the life force of the ruins and the monks who entered the ruins with the Life Chain Binding Formation, then used that gathered life force to proceed with refining the Ten Thousand Lives Blood Qi Pill.

For this purpose, he had prepared an Ancient Alchemy Furnace corresponding to a supreme-grade Dharma Treasure, and melted in hundreds of types of pill refining materials that had been prepared in proper order.

And at the end of the pill refining, he had thrown Kang Hyeon’s body, which had swollen up like a large ball, into the alchemy furnace.

Now, when all the energy in the alchemy furnace gathered into Kang Hyeon’s body, which would become the pill core, and condensed into one, that would become the Ten Thousand Lives Blood Qi Pill he desired.

Rumbllllle! Rumbllllle!

The Blood Soul Envoy had been confident of the pill refining’s success as he watched the red clouds in the sky clear away and new purple clouds appear.

Those purple clouds were proof that the Ten Thousand Lives Blood Qi Pill was precious enough for the Heavenly Tribulation of Heaven and Earth Laws to descend.

The Blood Soul Envoy naturally expected such a Heavenly Tribulation to descend upon the refining of the Ten Thousand Lives Blood Qi Pill, and since he had prepared to block that Heavenly Tribulation, he neither feared nor worried about its arrival.

“It’s all done. This is finally the moment to complete the Ten Thousand Lives Blood Qi Pill! But why! What on earth is happening!”

The Blood Soul Envoy glared at the Ancient Alchemy Furnace where the Ten Thousand Lives Blood Qi Pill was being refined and shouted.

The gathering tribulation clouds no longer grew thicker but maintained their state, only producing faint thunder.

The light of the alchemy furnace, which had been containing mysterious radiance and purifying evil energy to discharge it outside, no longer pulsed but merely lingered on the alchemy furnace.

The pill refining had stopped.

“What’s happening! How can this be!”

Kuguuuuuung!

At the Blood Soul Envoy’s rage, the rock peak he had been sitting on collapsed.

The traces of the Life Chain Binding Formation, which had already served its purpose, cracked and scattered among the crumbling stones.

But those were already meaningless to the Blood Soul Envoy.

What was important to him now was the Ancient Alchemy Furnace floating in the void.

A blue copper alchemy furnace with five legs shaped like dog legs, and above them a body shaped like an incense burner with a lid.

Its surface was densely covered with mysterious incantations, patterns, lines, and geometric shapes, with two prominent ears.

Right now, that very thing had stopped refining and wasn’t moving at all.

For the Blood Soul Envoy, it was a situation where his heart burned with anxiety.

In such circumstances, the Blood Soul Envoy couldn’t even open the lid of that alchemy furnace.

Until the pill refining was finished and the Ten Thousand Lives Blood Qi Pill was completed, he absolutely couldn’t open the lid.

And since the final process of pill refining had already progressed, there was no room for the Blood Soul Envoy to interfere further with the pill refining.

It was a time when he just needed to wait for the pill refining to finish safely.

“How can this be?”

The Blood Soul Envoy went through his pill refining process step by step, checking if there had been any mistakes.

But there was nothing wrong anywhere.

The refining of the Ten Thousand Lives Blood Qi Pill had proceeded perfectly.

So this kind of thing shouldn’t be happening.

Absolutely not!

“Hurry! Hurry!”

The Blood Soul Envoy glared at the alchemy furnace that had stopped changing and floated quietly, urging with all his will for the next process to proceed.

Chuaaaaaaaap! Chuuuuup!

‘Incredible!’

At that time, Kang Hyeon realized that the amount of life force Trent was absorbing had far exceeded the level he could handle.

He couldn’t understand how so much life force had entered his body, but since the Old Monster’s blood was mixed together with that life force, he couldn’t stop the absorption either.

He could only wait until Trent absorbed all the blood.

‘I want to summon Trent outside my body right now and open the Mysterious Mirror, but it’s impossible until I break through this, since the Old Monster’s blood has melted even into my skin.’

The final barrier blocking the external manifestation of spiritual energy was the Old Monster’s blood permeating Kang Hyeon’s own skin.

So to open the entrance to the Mysterious Mirror, he had to absorb and erase the Old Monster’s blood that had entered his body down to the last drop.

‘Amazing. How can there be such tremendous life force…’

By inference, it must be because the Old Monster had done preparatory work to use him as alchemy material.

He must have tried to fill him with vitality to enhance the effect of the Spirit Pill.

‘Though I have high compatibility with vitality since I mainly practice Wood Element Cultivation, the fact that so much vitality was infused must be because that Old Monster pulled some other trick.’

The Old Monster’s blood had turned Kang Hyeon’s body into pulp, which led to such results, but it was something Kang Hyeon couldn’t know.

‘It’s almost finished now. But with all this time that’s passed, why isn’t the Old Monster doing anything?’

When Trent had absorbed the Old Monster’s blood and almost regained control of his body, Kang Hyeon suddenly had such doubts.

Soon the Old Monster’s blood would completely disappear, and then Kang Hyeon’s body would be entirely under his will.

There was no way the Old Monster wouldn’t notice such a fact, so why was there no reaction?

Kang Hyeon tensed up with such suspicions and waited for the moment when Trent would absorb the last drop of the Old Monster’s blood.

***

The True Blood containing the Spirit Body Stage Monk’s Mental Intent was powerful until the very last drop.

It spread widely across Kang Hyeon’s skin tissue until the end, blocking the External Manifestation of Spiritual Energy, so if Trent hadn’t dominated the entire skin with Root Threads, absorbing it wouldn’t have been easy.

But Trent finally succeeded in extending fine roots throughout Kang Hyeon’s entire skin and absorbing all of the Old Monster’s blood.

‘Done!’

At that moment, Kang Hyeon pulled part of Trent’s branch outside his body and immediately opened the entrance to the Mysterious Mirror.

Wooooong!

“Huh?!”

Kang Hyeon’s plan was to immediately jump inside and escape the crisis the moment he opened the entrance to the Mysterious Mirror, and this had to happen in an instant.

But the moment he actually opened the entrance to the Mysterious Mirror, his Early Qi Accumulation consciousness made him recognize the situation he was currently in even faster.

“This is tremendous energy.”

Kang Hyeon’s body was inside a sealed space, and that space was filled with unimaginably tremendous energy.

“Is this place an Alchemy Furnace?”

Kang Hyeon could immediately deduce where he was.

“This energy consists of materials to form a Spirit Pill.”

He could also easily identify what the energy filling the surroundings was.

“The Old Monster isn’t here.”

And it seemed the Old Monster’s interference couldn’t reach this sealed space.

“The Old Monster is in a situation where he can’t interfere with the alchemy process. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have just watched until I absorbed the blood and regained my body. Ah, perhaps right now the Old Monster can’t even confirm what’s happening in here.”

Kang Hyeon quickly assessed the situation and made such a judgment.

“But there won’t be much time. The current state must be different from the alchemy proceeding smoothly. Right now, these energies should definitely be gathering with my body as the Pill Core, but that’s currently stopped.”

Kang Hyeon muttered like this and expanded his consciousness to carefully examine the space he was in.

Then the alchemy process began to organize itself in his mind to some extent.

“Right. These energies have an order, so they should be absorbed into my body in sequence to be made into one Spirit Pill. That’s definitely stopped right now. Then…”

Kang Hyeon pondered for a moment, then summoned the complete Trent to his side.

And he had that Trent absorb the energy in the Pill Furnace in order.

Woooooong! Slurrrrrp! Slurp!

Receiving Kang Hyeon’s will, Trent immediately began absorbing the energy inside the Pill Furnace.

Then the energies inside the Pill Furnace moved violently and the Dharma Inscriptions on the walls shone brilliantly.

“Whoa!”

This was a phenomenon that appeared as the Formation Technique carved into the Alchemy Furnace continued the alchemy process.

However, originally the energy should be absorbed into the Pill Core, but now the alchemy materials were being absorbed into Trent’s body instead of the Pill Core, so the alchemy process couldn’t proceed smoothly.

Crackle! Crack! Crsssh!

Naturally, as the alchemy failed, the Formation Patterns carved into the Alchemy Furnace became disturbed, cracks appeared, and energy collisions began to occur.

“This is dangerous?”

Kang Hyeon immediately noticed the abnormality and commanded Trent to open the entrance to the Mysterious Mirror.

Swahhhhhh!

“What! Oh no!”

But when Trent opened the entrance to the Mysterious Mirror, side effects occurred due to the energy it had been absorbing from the Alchemy Furnace.

Originally, the entrance should have opened to a size that Kang Hyeon could enter, but due to the wrong distribution of the absorbed energy, a huge entrance opened instead.

Swahhhhh!

“What, what is this?!”

At that moment, the Blood Soul Envoy, who had been delighted outside watching the Ten Thousand Lives Blood Qi Pill’s alchemy resume, stared into the void with wide eyes as if his soul had left him.

With sudden light, the Ancient Alchemy Furnace that had been refining the Ten Thousand Lives Blood Qi Pill had completely disappeared without a trace.

“Gone? It’s gone!? Someone opened space and stole the Alchemy Furnace? What bastard! Who the hell!”

The Blood Soul Envoy had clearly seen it.

A Spatial Passage appearing in the void and sucking in his Ancient Alchemy Furnace.

Someone had definitely intervened and stolen his achievement.

This was too obvious, so now he had to find out who had committed such an act.

“Who noticed the Ten Thousand Lives Blood Qi Pill’s alchemy? Who knew my plan and could prepare such a Spatial Passage in advance to steal the Pill Furnace at the last moment? Who is it, who is it. Who the hell is it.”

The Blood Soul Envoy muttered as if his soul had left him, and the longer his soliloquy continued, the colder his eyes became.

“I will search every nook and cranny to find them. How could I let go of the one who dared interfere with my great undertaking? The Ten Thousand Lives Blood Qi Pill has my blood dissolved in it anyway, so they won’t be able to consume it immediately. To consume it, they would need to purge or neutralize my blood. That would inevitably leave traces. If they had already prepared, I could examine their past movements, and if they do it from now on, I can naturally catch them in the act. Even if I have to tear apart all of Nok Province, I will definitely find them. Definitely!”

The Blood Soul Envoy made this vow while looking at the rapidly dispersing tribulation clouds with regretful eyes.

“My Ten Thousand Lives Blood Qi Pill must be where those tribulation clouds reached. And when the Ten Thousand Lives Blood Qi Pill is completed, heavenly tribulation will surely descend, which will also become a clue for tracking. I will definitely find it!”

Pssssssss!

With his final resolution, the Blood Soul Envoy transformed into red mist and scattered, concealing his form.

And immediately after, the ruins space that had already been drained of all vitality slowly crumbled and scattered into the dimensional void.

Thus, the great undertaking of Blood Extreme Mountain Villa’s Spirit Body Stage Monk Blood Soul Envoy’s advancement to Avatar Stage failed miserably, leaving only great losses.

However, who could know that this Blood Soul Envoy, having failed in his great undertaking, would become one of the catalysts for the great blood catastrophe of Nok Province later on.

***

“Grrrrgh!”

After the entrance to the Mysterious Mirror opened wide due to an unexpected variable.

Kang Hyeon realized that he and the alchemy furnace he had been trapped in had been moved into the Mysterious Mirror.

However, during that transfer process, tremendous waves occurred, delivering a great shock even to Kang Hyeon inside the alchemy furnace.

While feeling pain as if his entire body would shatter, Kang Hyeon struggled to assess the situation.

As a result, he confirmed that he had safely entered the Mysterious Mirror, and that the entrance to the Mysterious Mirror had closed again simultaneously with the transfer as planned.

With this, the fate of dying at the hands of the Old Monster had become a thing of the past.

“Haah. I survived.”

Kang Hyeon’s tension released, and he collapsed right where he had been standing.

Wooooooong. Wooooong.

However, realizing there were still matters to resolve, he looked at Trent beside him with a deflated expression.

“To get out of here, I’ll have to deal with all this energy filling this place anyway, right?”

Once again, the only thing he could trust was the Absorption Divine Ability, so he had no choice but to rely on Trent.

“Let’s begin.”

Kang Hyeon commanded Trent to resume the absorption it had briefly stopped.

Chuaaaaaaap! Chuaaaap!
