Chapter 211: The Bone of Blood Jade
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…
The drop of mysterious blood was pierced by a small fragment of bone, seemingly triggered, and immediately began to pulse, matching the rhythm of Su Che’s heartbeat—bang, bang, bang, rising and falling with each beat.
Its shape also changed, resembling a miniature heart within a heart, no longer just a drop of blood.
Click! Click! Click! Click…
Su Che’s entire skeleton started to crack loudly, as if a string of firecrackers had been lit inside his body, the sound so intense it could be heard clearly from the stands.
Jin Chong across from him frowned, unable to figure out what Su Che was up to.
Not only Jin Chong couldn’t understand—it was even the five Yuan Ying ancestors who didn’t know what was happening to Su Che. Their spiritual awareness couldn’t penetrate his body, blocked by some strange force.
“This kid has so many secrets. No matter how much we dig, there’s always more!” The five ancestors felt deeply impressed.
To be honest, even Su Che himself didn’t know what kind of changes the mysterious blood would bring. All he could sense was that his sternum, which had just shattered into pieces, was now whole again.
Not only his sternum—every surface of his bones was covered with dense red lines, growing more and more numerous, as if countless tiny hands were rapidly weaving blood-red garments, covering each bone with a coat.
It was this change that caused his bones to explode with sound. In just a few moments, through mental visualization, he could see that all his bones had turned blood red, no longer white.
Snap!
Su Che raised his right hand and clenched his fist casually. A small area around his fist experienced spatial distortion—the transparent air twisted noticeably, with streaks of black lines appearing, as if tearing gaps in space.
“An unbreakable bone…”
Su Che stared at his fist and murmured, “I’ve always admired Senior Yu Qing’s Great Collapse Divine Fist. Finally, I have my own fighting style. What should I call it?”
Jin Chong across from him could already sense an extremely strange and terrifying force emanating from Su Che.
This force carried an aura of extreme destruction and brutality, like a calamity that shouldn’t exist in the world, evoking instinctive fear and rejection.
At the same time, it gave off a sense of profound antiquity, as if coming from ancient times…
“What kind of power is this?” The five Yuan Ying ancestors also turned pale in shock.
“Could it be another ability he just awakened?” The Grand Elder Qing Xuan transmitted a message to his four junior brothers.
“That’s likely,” the Supreme Patriarch mused. “This power doesn’t seem to be something that can be cultivated through any cultivation method in the realm of cultivation. It lacks the attributes of the five elements and appears to be the most primal source of power…”
“The innate power of the ancient demon gods!” Elder Mu Ye exclaimed excitedly, immediately interjecting.
“Could it be that Su Che is actually the reincarnation of some ancient god?” Elder Guang Wu guessed. “Otherwise, how could he keep awakening innate abilities over and over again?”
“I’ve always said he’s the reincarnation of some great figure,” Zi Xiao said lazily. “There’s no other reasonable explanation.”
“You just tricked us,” Grand Elder Qing Xuan snorted.
Grand Elder Qing Xuan always liked to target Zi Xiao—not out of dislike, but as a way of expressing his emotions. Over 200 years ago, it was Grand Elder Qing Xuan who brought the infant Zi Xiao to Tian Xuan Sect. During those years when Zi Xiao was still young and naive, he would cause trouble on Qing Xuan Peak. In the blink of an eye, the two became brothers-in-arms…
The ancient demon gods mentioned by the Yuan Ying ancestors were not the demon gods with blazing flames as known in the current cultivation realm, but rather some of the earliest powerful beings that emerged at the dawn of creation. They didn’t need to cultivate at all; they were born with immense powers capable of overturning the world. They were as formidable as the ancestral witches of the Witch Clan from the same era. In fact, it could even be said that all living beings in the world today were created by these ancient demon gods.
Later, due to some extremely complex reasons related to the laws of heaven, the ancient demon gods fell one by one and gradually withdrew from the historical stage. Of course, there are also theories suggesting they couldn’t truly be destroyed but merely changed their forms and continued to exist in the world…
The “Wasteland God Valley” in the cultivation realm is said to be the graveyard of one such ancient demon god, hence the eternal suppression by divine punishment to prevent him from rising again and disrupting the balance and stability of the world.
“Trying to be mysterious!”
At that moment, Jin Chong felt inexplicably annoyed due to an instinctive sense of fear. His golden pupils stared coldly at Su Che as he deliberately spoke in a disdainful tone, “No matter what skills you have, I’ll give you a chance to show them. I’ll make sure you lose completely and admit defeat.”
“I don’t even know what kind of power this is. Could you help me test it?” Su Che smirked. “That way, I can give it a name too…”
Before he could finish speaking, he threw a punch.
With a distance of over forty zhang between them, Su Che swung his fists in place. No matter how long his arms were, it was impossible for him to reach Jin Chong. Jin Chong’s expression changed abruptly; his physical form vanished, and a human-shaped sword aura shot forward straight… It traveled less than ten zhang before, with a pop, the human-shaped sword aura, like a bubble floating in the air, was mercilessly pierced and vanished instantly. Soon after, Jin Chong reappeared from another location—not by choosing to show himself, but forced out by some force. As someone at the Golden Core stage, Jin Chong flew back less than two zhang before stabilizing himself in mid-air, ready to counterattack, but… “Break! Break! Break! Break…” Su Che struck swiftly, punching dozens of times in an instant. There seemed to be no visible light or energy effects, but Jin Chong on the other side suffered greatly from its power. In mid-air, Jin Chong turned into streaks of sword shadows, disappearing and reappearing repeatedly. Every time his form vanished, it was about to use the Sky-Empty Sword, but a strange force that shattered space forced his newly formed image back out. Unfamiliar with this force and feeling fear deep in his heart, Jin Chong decided not to confront it head-on for now. Instead, he kept reappearing, merely dodging Su Che’s bizarre punching power. He believed Su Che must have used some secret technique to unleash such power—a power that clearly didn’t belong to him. After all, any explosive secret technique couldn’t last forever. He just needed to avoid it temporarily until Su Che ran out of strength and reverted to being a mere ant. It would still be time to deal with him then. This strategy was quite wise, as even Su Che himself didn’t know how long this power could last. Indeed, it didn’t belong to him but came from that drop of mysterious blood in his left atrium. Whether this space-shattering ability was borrowed temporarily or a genetic inheritance, Su Che couldn’t be sure. So, he had to act quickly and strike while the iron was hot to defeat him! One deliberately dodged, while the other launched a fierce attack. At this moment, even the five Yuan Ying ancestors couldn’t determine which of the two would last the longest. In Su Che’s left atrium, that drop of mysterious blood had stopped beating. It seemed to have completed its mission this time. In fact, its volume had decreased by one-tenth, clearly having lost some energy. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…
Su Che stood in place, throwing punches in rapid succession at an extreme speed—so fast that no one could count the number of blows. On the other side, Jin Chong’s figure appeared in various spots around the arena. Before one figure disappeared, another would appear several dozen feet away, creating visual afterimages. It seemed as though Jin Chong had mastered an infinite clone technique, generating hundreds of clones on the arena, each one truly existing…
In the Immortal Prison, Lao He was highly focused, closely monitoring his master’s physical condition. After undergoing the transformation by the Mysterious Blood, it was hard to say for sure whether it was beneficial or free of risks.
At this moment, Su Che’s bones had turned completely blood red, resembling translucent blood jade. This indicated that the “blood-colored coat” had fully penetrated his bones, no longer just a layer of periosteum.
Blood Jade Bones!
“First, the Witch Clan’s essence strengthened the flesh, and now the Mysterious Blood has transformed the bones…” Lao He murmured. “On the surface, the master still appears human, but internally, his body is changing toward a non-human state.”
Destruction!
Boom!
Su Che suddenly threw a punch, pouring all his strength into it, sending Jin Chong flying forty feet away. She tumbled through the air several times before landing right at the edge of the arena.
After that punch, Su Che stopped, head bowed, breathing heavily, as if deep in thought.
“What, out of strength?”
Jin Chong grinned, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. That punch had also injured her badly. But only she knew whether her combat ability had been affected.
“I’m thinking of naming this fighting style ‘Destruction,’” Su Che said, looking up. “What do you think of the name?”
“Terrible!” Jin Chong dismissed it disdainfully.
“Good, then that’s the name,” Su Che nodded. “I like terrible names.”
By now, Su Che had realized that the power of Destruction wasn’t something borrowed temporarily but a fighting technique he had just inherited, stemming from his bloodline.
Once learned, it would stay—unless he lost his memory, otherwise he wouldn’t lose it again.
As for the changes in his Blood Jade Bones, Su Che had seen them clearly through mental visualization and understood that to use the Destruction Punch, his bones needed to be strengthened in this way. Otherwise, even a single strike of Destruction would shatter all his bones completely.
Strengthening the bones is the foundation for wielding martial arts skills, but such transformation also means that Su Che’s physical strength has been greatly enhanced once again. The Blood Jade Bones will no longer be easily shattered with a single strike. As Su Che just said: now he has unbreakable bones!
