Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

At the same time, within the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower north of Luojing City in the Sky Extreme Star of the Great Song, Lin Rui was flying through the tower's interior under the guidance of the Tower Guardian.

The Ten Thousand Dragon Tower was not only vast in scope but also the tallest structure in the entire Luojing City, with a diameter reaching a tremendous one thousand zhang, and a total height exceeding five thousand zhang, which is more than 16,500 meters.

The entire massive tower resembled an enormous, unparalleled stone tablet, or a stone mountain, standing majestically on the north side of the city. From any location within Luojing City, one could see it.

However, the huge tower was hollow inside, with a vast atrium at its center. The cells used to imprison the captives were arranged in a ring around this enormous atrium.

The tower had more than 2,000 floors in total, with some floors as high as ten zhang, capable of accommodating Battle Dragons, and the shorter ones just over one zhang, suitable for imprisoning humanoid Demons.

Lin Rui followed the Tower Guardian for a while, then suddenly stopped his Escape Skill, looking at something nearby with a strange expression in his eyes.

He saw Huang Fuqing's Battle Dragon—it was to his left. A Battle Dragon with an interwoven pattern of dark gold and purple gold, exuding majesty and splendor, lay inside a ten zhang high, cave-like cell.

Its body was bound by numerous iron chains, motionless as if turned to stone.

However, just a moment ago, Lin Rui sensed that this Battle Dragon was watching him.

Lin Rui guessed that the Battle Dragon probably sensed the No. 3 Battle Spirit inside the Battle Spirit Ring.

"Mr. Lin!" The Tower Guardian in front noticed Lin Rui stopping and looked back with a puzzled expression, "Why has Mr. Lin halted?"

Lin Rui shook his head and withdrew his gaze, "It's nothing. I was merely a bit startled. The Battle Dragons suppressed within the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower must number far more than ten thousand, right? Looking at these rows upon rows of densely packed Battle Dragons, even though it's my second visit, I still find it immensely shocking."

Previously, he had come here to subdue the Ice Blood Demon with Wang Sen.

Hearing this, the Tower Guardian chuckled, "Far more than ten thousand? The number of Battle Dragons imprisoned by successive generations in the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower probably exceeds a million! Look at how tall this tower is?

It's said that the tower was originally only 100 zhang tall, but now it has grown to over 5000 zhang. This is because we melted the dragon bones of those ancient dragons whose flesh had decayed with age into the structure of the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower, contributing to its height."

Hearing this, Lin Rui nodded slightly. According to the current archaeological consensus, the tower was likely over 60,000 years old, having survived through eleven dynasties.

Some people have made the startling conjecture that the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower was probably built when the East Abyss officially became the 'Abyss.'

Lin Rui then glanced towards the very bottom of the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower.

There sat an immensely huge Array Plate base, made entirely of gold and iron.

Its shape resembled a well cover, though it was nine hundred zhang in diameter and filled the interior atrium of the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower.

—Beneath this lay another unresolved mystery.

The Earth Federation not only wished to know what was buried beneath this well cover but also to understand why the East Abyss gathered so many Battle Dragons and Demons inside the tower.

The bodies of the Battle Dragons and high-level Demons were treasures, with Dragon Skin being used to create Martial Arts True Intent diagrams and high-level Talisman, their claws and bones to forge Magic Artifacts, and their sinew could be essential materials for various powerful bows and crossbows.

Yet the East Abyss preferred to keep the Battle Dragons and high-level Demons caught over the years locked up in the tower, allowing them to rot away, rather than killing them to harvest their precious materials.

Moreover, while two Divine Envoy candidates were stationed in the Demon Suppression Forest, only a few individuals of the Eight Realms level were appointed as Tower Guardians and Vice Envoys within the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower.

Lin Rui was curious about this as well, but his primary reason for coming today was to practice the Blood Evil Secret Technique.

"Mr. Lin, please follow me," the Tower Guardian continued to fly upwards, "Following the third Divine Envoy's orders, we've gathered a batch of Demons for Mr. Lin to cultivate the Blood Essence Secret Technique."

As he spoke, he flew to a platform on the 666th floor on the south side.

This was one of the execution platforms within the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower, equipped with a large number of iron posts, torture devices, and guillotines.

Lin Rui looked over and was surprised to find that more than three hundred high-level Demons and Half-demonized Demon Cultivators were tied up there, with the lowest among them being of the Fifth Realm and several Demons of the Seventh Realm.

However, the vast majority of these Demons were old, weak, sickly, or disabled.

Lin Rui thought that using these Demons to cultivate the Blood Essence Secret Technique would indeed be inefficient and ineffective.

The Tower Guardian looked slightly embarrassed as he bowed, "Mr. Lin, there are rules within the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower. Those young and strong Demons have their uses. We have indeed tried our best to procure these for Mr. Lin. I ask that you do not look down on them, nor take offense.

In fact, our Ten Thousand Dragon Tower processes some Demons every year. If Mr. Lin's Blood Evil Secret Technique isn't successful in one go, you may return next year. At that time, I, Zuo, will definitely prepare some better specimens for Mr. Lin."

Lin Rui smiled wryly, "No worries. I am aware of some of the rules of the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower, and Mr. Zuo has truly taken great care in this matter for me."

He was more than pleased; why would he be critical?

Practicing the Blood Evil Secret Technique was secondary; his main goal was to collect soul power points.

The Demons before Lin Rui, though weak and frail, still offered no small amount of soul power points.

Eagerly, he approached a Seventh Realm Hundred-Child Demon.

Even though this Demon was bound by Rune-enchanted chains, with its Primordial Qi severely weakened, it still fixed a ferocious, piercing, man-eating gaze upon Lin Rui, the intensity of its violent and wild aura unabated.

Lin Rui knew that behind every mutated Demon, there could be a tragic, sympathy-arousing story.

Yet, he did not hesitate, touching the Hundred-Child Demon's forehead with one hand, forcefully extracting all the blood from this Seventh Realm Demon.

The Blood Evil Secret Technique that Lin Rui was about to practice was the 'Blood God Wings.'

Originally, it was the Blood Evil Secret Technique of the Sixth Realm Super Emperor, but obviously, this could not satisfy his needs.

The Blood Evil Secret Technique of the Sixth Realm Super Emperor, how much Blood Essence did it require? Only when the required Blood Essence was immense, could he legitimately reap soul power points.

Fortunately, after acquiring many of Huangfu Qi's basic biological skills, Lin Rui also conceived several inspirations to improve the "Blood God Wings."

Thus, he invested about 30,000 soul power points to continue extrapolating the "Blood God Wings" to the level of the Sixth Realm Super Monarch!

He aimed for extracting purity from greater quantities.

To put it figuratively, if previously he could refine one bucket from 100 buckets of water, now he could refine one whole bucket from 1,000 buckets.

This was also beneficial to him, as it guarded against Blood Evil contamination. Meanwhile, the power of the "Blood God Wings" enhanced to the Super Monarch rank was tremendous indeed, and additionally, a vastly powerful ability emerged.

After approximately a minute passed, Lin Rui received a prompt.

Prompt: Slaying a Seventh Realm Demon, acquired 63,314 soul power points.

This Hundred-Child Demon had weakened to the point of becoming pallid and cracked all over, barely able to stand, yet she still provided Lin Rui with more than 60,000 soul power points, exceeding even Li Zhaokang.

Lin Rui started with the Seventh Realm, then to the Sixth, and down to the Fifth.

For the Seventh and Sixth Realms, he needed to press his fingertip to his glabella to extract, taking about half a minute to a minute. For the latter, it wasn't as convoluted; he would just sever the heads of these demons and demon cultivators with a Blade Astral and pinch a Dharma Seal to extract the pure Blood Qi.

The subsequent Refinement and purification, however, took a significant amount of time.

Lin Rui planned to use the Pure Method to cleanse them afterward, but under the watchful eyes of the multitude— not only was the Tower Guardian by his side, but many prison guards spectated as well—he had to maintain some degree of decorum.

About half an hour later, a pair of Blood Wings had expanded to 18 meters long behind Lin Rui, with each wing measuring 9 meters.

These Blood Wings did not appear bloody or evil at all; they were adorned with countless dark golden Runes that looked like feathers, making them appear both splendid and brilliant, almost holy.

However, what concerned Lin Rui the most was the total amount of soul power points he had accumulated. When he inquired with the Ring Spirit, it immediately replied.

Enhancement: You now possess a total of 2,632,114 soul power points.

The corners of Lin Rui's lips lifted slightly; he could now exchange for Huangfu Qi's Mecha Dragon, and then some.

—Of course, the one restrained within the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower was not available.

Firstly, Lin Rui's Alien form lacked no Battle Dragons, and secondly, even if he were to exchange for it now, he couldn't take it out.

At this moment, the Tower Guardian also watched in utter astonishment at the blood-gold wings behind Lin Rui: "Impressive! This level of Blood Evil secret technique is unheard of; no wonder Lord Lin required so much material."

He then curiously asked, "Lord Lin's Blood Wings must have been an improvement upon the Blood Wings Technique, but I assume they are stronger and purer. Besides that, do these Blood Wings have other functions?

Lord Lin, Left has a fondness for seeing all manner of divine enigmas and wonders in my lifetime. Might you be inclined to demonstrate a bit, so I may witness their true form?"

The Blood Wings Technique could indeed allow swift flying, aid in casting Escape Skills, enhance weapons, empower the Outer Firmament, and fortify protection—its uses almost equalled that of an Outer Elixir, with substantial benefits.

However, Lin Rui's Blood Wings clearly held a deeper mystery and unique utility.

Upon hearing this, Lin Rui hesitated slightly, but considering the garrison commander's interest and the possibility of needing his help in the future, he generously said, "Indeed, there are some variations. It wouldn't hurt to show a thing or two, only—"

He paused, furrowing his brows and scanning the crowd around them.

The Tower Guardian caught on to his intention, gesturing with a wave of his hand for the prison guards to vacate the area.

He then earnestly added, "Rest assured, my lord, whatever I witness will not leak from my lips."

Lin Rui nodded and then formed a Dharma Seal with one hand.

The pair of Blood Wings on his back astonishingly detached from his body, twisting and morphing until they transformed into a giant standing four Zhang tall behind him.

"This is—"

The Tower Guardian watched intently to the end and couldn't help but express shock.

This was clearly a pseudo-Battle Dragon, nearly possessing everything real Battle Dragons had—except this one was of the Sixth Realm Super Emperor Rank.

The only flaw was that its body was too soft and fragile, unable to withstand heavy impacts. Yet since its essence was a mass of Blood Evil capable of rapid healing and transformation, it wasn't such a fatal weakness.

Besides, this pseudo-Battle Dragon consumed an immense amount of Blood Essence.

The amount of Blood Essence Lin Rui had absorbed wouldn't last long.

"Amazing!" exclaimed the Tower Guardian, followed by the regret of ample opportunity missed: "It's a pity that there was so little Blood Essence this time, unable to complete it thoroughly. If Lord Lin comes next year, I guarantee to provide more material for you to perfect this Blood Evil Secret Technique."

Lin Rui could only offer a wry smile, thinking that might not be the case.

Next year, when he returned, he'd surely be able to advance this secret technique to the Seventh Realm Super Monarch.

At that moment, he received a message from Fang Ranran.

Rain Falling Heart Dust (Fang Ranran): Junior, it's my grandfather's 760th birthday in three days. I'd like to invite you to join the banquet; do you have time? My grandfather, Linghu Mingde, would like to meet you.
