Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 609 The only prayer

Wu Long's hand holding the saber lowered, allowing the lifeless body to slip from it, as a thin line of water took off a Spatial Ring and floated it to his opened up palm.

"Hmm, I didn't even need to learn their techniques, just understanding them was enough to give me a hint to controlling the Blood Rune"

He spoke with an introspective look as he floated down toward the ground, his feet touching the stone paving in front of Gui Xiaolan.

"I... I can be of use to you... I can be your slave... you can do whatever you want with me!!! M-my family i-is very influential, w-we are f-from the Gui Clan..."

Her trembling lips opened up and pleading poured from them as she shuddered in the cold rain, but not from the temperature.

'Gui Clan... heh, the clan of the new Corrupt God?', Wu Long thought with not much changing in his expression, as he pondered if this woman knew something of use to him or not.

"I can-..."

A swift motion of a saber cut the woman's words short as her eyes widened, his decision reaching a natural conclusion that she did not.

After all, he was in the Boundless Mortal World, which was too vast, so vast and immense that it was difficult to comprehend.

Major Powers rarely allowed any crucial information to flow down to it, as with this scale, and limitations of cultivation realms, it was difficult to control, and thus hard to oversee how that information spread here.

The woman looked at the blade of the weapon as a crimson glow flowed from her chest and turning into stream coiled around it, and then looked up to the man holding that weapon, stretching her hand toward him in a final attempt to persuade.

"Why bother?

If you still have my portraits around, surely you must have heard that phrase you people liked to say about me..."

His words reached her ears as her already dizzy consciousness was slowly sinking into darkness.

'The only prayer of Lust the Slaughter God answers is of death...', the phrase he spoke of floated in her mind as she understood the futility of her attempts from the very beginning.

The same saber then severed the remaining feeble flames of life still lingering in the dried-up mummy sprawled on the ground to the side, its attempts at playing dead in hopes of being overlooked also failing.

Two Spatial Rings from the father and daughter floated up to Wu Long, carried by streams of water.

He had a pondering expression while receiving them.

He felt the vortex of Slaughter Qi saturate even more with the deaths of these three, even though the last one had only dying embers of life.

Linghun Mo truly was far more powerful than Gu Zhen even initially, when he fought without the Blood Crown of the Executioner.

However, Wu Long's Sublime Qi and Slaughter Qi allowed him to fight that Linghun Mo with much more ease than when he fought with the alchemist.

And while there was a big leap in strength of the Slaughter Qi after killing Gu Zhen, as well as a difference in his own cultivation, what truly mattered was that his control over both Supreme Cultivation Techniques became much better.

After all, he met the Alchemy Tower Master in battle almost right after starting to cultivate the two techniques for the first time ever. And though he understood them, his mastery over their actual use was still lacking in the beginning.

He was also constantly experimenting with the configuration of their balance using the Chaos Harmonic Nexus, as different ways to blend the two techniques gave different results.

Though he still could not resolve that small remainder that appeared no matter which way he combined the two. Shifting the configurations unraveled one unresolved remainder, and gave birth to another.

But that also solved part of his problem, since one instance of such troublesome cluster did not affect the other, thus there was no fear of it growing or creating instability, he just had to shift the way he combined the techniques if it started to show any problematic signs.

Wu Long knew that he had to find a permanent solution shift the way he combined the techniques if it started to show any problematic signs.

eventually, as this was just papering over the cracks, but for now this at least put out the urgent fire, leaving only smoking embers.

However, the biggest harvest in this fight was testing the Runic Thunder Vein Body, the first iteration of his new Body Tempering Technique's combat potential, which exceeded his expectations.

His Bloodline Manipulation method was using 108 specific points within the blood vessels all across the body to create separate microscopic cores, that would together function like a Neidan of a Beast, but more than that, would act like gates to control the flow of Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi into the net of blood vessels running between the points.

The cores were located in between connecting points of arteries and veins. He used 108 of them because that was the minimum requirement to have accurate control over the bloodline power with this method.

He then gained a new idea to use these cores as control points for the Lightning Qi that increased his speed and strength, instead of passing it only through his meridians that Spiritual Qi flows through.

At the same time, and much like meridians, he used Water Qi and Cold Qi to cool down the veins and arteries.

All of this produced the result he could honestly be impressed with.

Though of course, currently he could only use this active state of his new technique for a relatively short period of time, as the veins he used to carry that tyrannical energy were under tremendous stress.

However, what was left was to use a tempering technique to specifically target and improve the durability and stress resistance of his arteries and veins.

As he was satisfied with the findings, he turned around, seeing the empty palace as all of the cultists have descended to the temple below, a smile appearing on his face as he took out a communication talisman.
