Chapter 129: Death Beast Bloodline

Deep爵 Castle, inside the secret chamber.

Gunie sat cross-legged on the cultivation seat, his mind completely immersed in the blood pool.

With a thought, Gunie took out the "wriggling flesh" from the blood pool.

After carefully examining the "wriggling flesh" before his eyes, Gunie pondered to himself.

"It's been over half a month of devouring and absorbing, but the reduction is almost negligible."

"However, the enhancement of my physique is very noticeable—muscles, internal organs, and many other parts have all been strengthened."

"More importantly, the defensive membrane beneath the skin has truly begun to coalesce."

"My resistance to blows has greatly improved."

"Indeed, the quality of this wriggling flesh is still far too high."

"After the blood exchange, when I absorb the Death Beast's flesh, bones, and scales, my growth will be very rapid."

After putting the "wriggling flesh" into the system space for storage,

Gunie turned his attention back to the blood pool.

Through this period of tireless idle expansion of the blood pool,

the blood pool now was about the size of a small washbasin, enough to hold around 2000 milliliters of blood.

With a flip of his hand, Gunie placed a large dragon-blood wood bottle before him; this large bottle contained a full ten thousand milliliters of Death Beast blood.

After draining and emptying the blood in the pool into a medium dragon-blood wood bottle on the side,

"Begin the blood exchange."

With a deep breath, Gunie entered the source-force breathing state.

Gunie first injected 500 milliliters of his own blood into the emptied blood pool.

Then, using puppet secret threads, he rapidly extracted and absorbed Death Beast blood, pouring it into the blood pool.

As the Death Beast blood was poured into the blood pool,

the two types of blood began to merge, with no obvious conflict or wear of supernatural traits.

Seeing this, Gunie breathed a sigh of relief.

"A good start."

Over the past few days, Gunie had absorbed over ten thousand milliliters of Death Beast blood, so his own blood now possessed many traits of Death Beast blood.

This allowed his blood to merge again with Death Beast blood without conflict.

Once the two types of blood were sufficiently mixed,

Gunie carefully began to send this mixed blood into his body through the heart.

At the same time, Gunie started drawing his own blood from the veins into the heart area.

Since Gunie's blood pool wasn't large enough, the blood exchange required gradually expelling his own blood and replacing it with Death Beast blood.

This mixed blood was just a preliminary probe.

As the mixed blood entered the heart,

"Thump, thump..."

the heart began to beat violently, with a feeling of resistance.

For a moment, Gunie's body felt a suffocating pain.

Fortunately, Gunie no longer needed his heart to supply energy through blood; the abnormal heartbeat did not affect his operations.

Enduring this discomfort, Gunie steadily delivered the mixed blood.

The body's discomfort was normal; it required forced blood exchange to make the heart adapt and change.

When Gunie had finished injecting all 1000 milliliters of mixed blood,

the heart, which had been beating violently, was still pounding but no longer resisting.

As the mixed blood circulated through the body pumped by the heart,

Gunie lost most of his control over the blood.

Fortunately, this was a normal phenomenon during the blood exchange process.

After more than ten minutes,

the heartbeat stabilized.

The body's discomfort with the mixed blood had mostly subsided.

Gunie again injected 500 milliliters of his current blood and 1500 milliliters of Death Beast blood into the blood pool.

This was a high-ratio mixture of Death Beast blood.

After the two types of blood mixed again,

Gunie once more delivered this high-ratio Death Beast mixed blood into his heart.

As expected, when Gunie delivered it again,

the heart began to beat abnormally violently, but this time it was less intense than before.

As this high-ratio Death Beast blood entered his body,

Gunie completely lost control over his own supernatural blood.

At this point, Gunie could only feel this unfamiliar blood flowing in his vessels and then spreading to every part of his body.

This made Gunie feel somewhat unfamiliar with his own bodily control.

Faced with this situation, Gunie was not panicked but instead became more composed.

Because this was a normal condition of the Death Beast blood reversely assimilating his own blood.

Assimilation was fine, as long as the Death Beast blood didn't revive on its own.

After waiting another half hour, Gunie felt that the high-ratio mixed Death Beast blood had completely stabilized in his body.

At this moment, Gunie's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Here comes the main event."

This time, Gunie filled the blood pool with a full 2000 milliliters of pure Death Beast blood.

This time it was pure Death Beast blood.

And subsequent Death Beast blood was still being drawn into the pool.

Gunie intended to complete the blood exchange in one go.

As this third wave of pure Death Beast blood merged into Gunie's body,

the heart, surprisingly, did not resist as violently as before; it only beat a bit faster.

The heart, unable to resist, seemed to have adapted to the Death Beast blood.

After the first two rounds of baptism,

now, as the pure Death Beast blood entered Gunie's body,

Gunie clearly felt that the body's discomfort was not as intense as at the beginning.

"My body's adaptability is truly strong; the entire process didn't even have too severe adverse reactions, let alone abnormal supernatural states like alienation, mutation, or even loss of control."

"Could it be..." Gunie mused lightly.

"Related to my physical talent, which has repeatedly weakened and strengthened through multiple reincarnations?"

"Most likely related." Gunie nodded slightly.

"Otherwise, this blood exchange wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Continuously inputting and outputting,

when the accumulated ten thousand milliliters of blood had all been cycled and expelled from the body,

this blood exchange finally ended.

The entire process and result were smoother than imagined.

The pure black Death Beast blood with a hint of dark gold luster now flowed quietly through Gunie's body, pumped by the heart, just like his previous blood.

The only difference was that this Death Beast blood was completely beyond Gunie's control.

As for blood escape technique and blood shield, they couldn't be used at all.

Fortunately, this situation wouldn't last long; in a few days, after full adaptation, Gunie would regain perfect control over the blood.

Then, sitting cross-legged, Gunie immersed his mind again into the blood pool.

With the idle system running, the Death Beast blood in the pool was also being refined in a vortex.

The only blood over which he had some control was the blood in the pool.

Over the next few days, Gunie needed to gradually use the blood pool to refine all the Death Beast blood in his body, thereby gaining control over all the blood.

Feeling the blood in the pool, Gunie pondered silently.

"Undoubtedly, this Death Beast blood is very powerful; the richness of its supernatural traits is something I could never have touched before."

"Even though I absorbed most of the Death Beast blood before, becoming a mix of elite and king-level blood, the purity and richness of its supernatural traits are still far from this true top-tier leader's blood."

"But this Death Beast blood has low density, lacks lethality, and has almost no life recovery ability."

"It can be said that this blood is merely weak blood with king-level supernatural traits."

"It's like a level-zero noob who spent a million."

"Now, this blood with great potential awaits my development... Hmm, it's quite exhilarating." Gunie said softly.

"At the same time..." Gunie flipped his hand.

He took out a large piece of Death Beast flesh containing bones and scales, and also brought out two cut pieces of Death Beast bones.

Death Beast bones were unusual—not white, but black, pure black, with a few dark gold runes on them.

These rune bones made Gunie marvel.

With a thought, Gunie threw the piece of Death Beast flesh into the blood pool, along with the two black Death Beast bones.

Immediately, the level-three blood pool under the idle system began to rapidly digest these Death Beast bones, flesh, and scales.

Compared to the difficulty of digesting the wriggling flesh,

the Death Beast blood digesting its own bones, flesh, and scales was relatively fast.

If Gunie did not absorb the Death Beast bones to gain its hematopoietic ability,

then over time, his own hematopoietic ability would gradually dilute the Death Beast blood, possibly returning it to ordinary blood after a few years.

But once he absorbed the Death Beast bones, Gunie would gain the Death Beast's hematopoietic ability.

Gunie would then truly possess the Death Beast bloodline.

At the same time, these bones, flesh, and scales would transform Gunie from the inside out toward the powerful physique of the Death Beast.

Essentially changing the body, and this was the powerful trait of blood pool digestion.

This was also the strength of the peculiar supernatural profession, "Blood Curse Master."

"According to inherited information, the stronger the supernatural talent, the higher the upper limit for bearing blood."

"Average talent can only bear elite bloodlines."

"Stronger talent can bear king-level bloodlines."

"Blood Curse Master Gewu bore a king-level bloodline, but records show that Blood Curse Master Gewu once joined forces with several other supernatural masters to kill a lord-level giant beast. Clearly, Blood Curse Master Gewu also wanted to obtain a more powerful—lord-level bloodline."

"For me, my supernatural talent can continuously improve; lord-level bloodlines are not a big problem."

"Even those comparable to great beings—legendary lords—I can accept and even digest bloodlines of that level."
