The legendary warrior

Inside the Spiritual Energy Gathering Array, thousands of strands of pure energy poured into Ricky's and Edgar's body continuously. Both of their powers and cultivation levels were being improved sharply with every passing second. Smoothly the strands sailed as they not only enhanced their strength, but also healed them from their deficiencies.

They felt as if their bodies were burning with fire as the pure energy constantly circulated their vessels. Sweat came out of their foreheads as the intense heat engulfed them. The change in Ricky was more obvious, though, for he absorbed the spiritual energy way faster than Edgar.

On day six, Edgar's body shook all of a sudden. The aura of blood vitality around his body sprang up with a loud crash. The blood in his body circulated so violently that people could even hear it loud and clear.

Without a question, this incident was a clear sign indicating that Edgar had already successfully broken through into the Blood Purification. He was now an official warrior of Blood Purification.

Edgar was at the ninth grade of Skin Refinement, the highest level of the method. It made sense for him to achieve the next state faster than Ricky. After that, Edgar still did not come to his senses. Instead, he continued to absorb the pure spiritual energy in the Spiritual Energy Gathering Array, so as to consolidate his controlling ability over the power at the first grade of Blood Purification. Ricky, on the other hand, kept working on his breaking-through process while perspiring heavily all throughout his body.

But on the seventh day, he rose from his position and eagerly checked himself. To him, this was his big day.

The last six days' cultivation had set the stage for him to the next step.

He activated the Devouring Skill, and enforced the Devourer Zone. Then he picked out a stand of forceful spiritual energy and transferred it into the Zone. After the energy was strengthened in the zone, he injected it into his spiritual meridian.

As the name suggested, Blood Purification was the process of absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to refine the warrior's blood.

Blood carried the energy the body needed and circulated in the vessels to keep the flesh alive. The more powerful the energy in the blood was, the stronger the body would be, and the more invincible a warrior became. The warrior with this enormous energy would be able to perform at the peak of his power for a long period of time.

Theoretically, he who reached the stage of Blood Purification would not need to sleep to recover himself as long as he kept his blood vitality powerful. That was the significant difference between the warrior of Skin Refinement and that of Blood Purification.

Ricky activated his spiritual meridian to break the pure spiritual energy into thousands of strands. Immediately, those strands immersed into every vein. Then the energy started to eliminate the impurities and purify his blood to cleanse him.

It was by no means a comfortable process. Ricky was in pain as his whole body trembled with burning heat. He was engulfed with agony. Ricky proceeded with his refinement as he gritted his teeth to endure it and kept in mind that if there was no pain, there was no gain.

Finally, blood vitality was released from his blood, which marked the end of this painful and almost torture of a procedure. Alas, Ricky was born into the world of Blood Purification.

Every pore on his body slightly opened, and innumerable streams of blood vitality sprang up, and finally met with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Spiritual Energy Gathering Array.
