"Three hundred fifty thousand...four hundred thousand..."

"Fifty-six thousand, seven hundred, eighty-eight, ninety-five..."

"Seven hundred thousand..."

The speed at which the Blood Sha Qi coalesced exceeded Chu Mo's expectations.

Initially, over three hundred thousand strands of Blood Sha Qi condensed in an instant.

Chu Mo guessed that this was likely the Blood Sha Qi released from soldiers who were either crushed to death or suffocated in the collapsing tunnel.

Then for a time, the rise in Blood Sha Qi was slow.

It increased only by hundreds at a time.

It wasn't until two hours later that the number began to increase dramatically.

The gathering Blood Sha Qi even formed a blood-colored barrier around Chu Mo's body!

The little dog, Sensing the Blood Sha Qi around Chu Mo, jumped out of Chu Mo's pocket early and squealed and circled Chu Mo, but dared not get closer.

It was fortunate that no one else was around, or they would have been sure to be frightened.

The Sky Mirror over Chu Mo's heart also underwent a great transformation.

On the top surface of the Sky Mirror, a blood moon emblem the size of a grain of rice became more and more distinct!

If Chu Mo saw this, he would have recognized it. This tiny blood moon was the very same one he saw on the prairie, which was struck down by Heaven Slaying. Amazingly, it did not disappear but remained on the Sky Mirror.

The space inside the Sky Mirror was also tumultuously changing.

Firstly, the Destiny Fish, swimming leisurely in the pond, began to become restless upon the influx of a large amount of Blood Sha Qi.

The small grey tree began to grow green leaves at a rate that was unbelievable. Symboling life, it quickly grew into a lush tree. It even sprouted many pink and white flowers...

The transformation of the large Azure Stone was the biggest surprise!

The blood-red traces on it became increasingly clear, and its blood light became more intense.

When Blood Sha Qi was infused more than seven hundred thousand times, the Azure Stone finally... started to change. From an irregular large stone, it slowly... morphed into the shape of a cyan-colored furnace.

Although it was still solid and still looked like a stone, its shape... had completely changed.

"Eight hundred thousand... Eighty-five thousand... Ninety-five thousand!"

Chu Mo glanced into the distance. The vanguard of the Great Qi Army, which had collapsed under the attack of the Windwing Dragon, was almost completely wiped out.

Even the sounds of battle... had significantly quietened.

Only sporadic screams could be heard. Those were the cries of the remaining Great Qi soldiers.

"There are about fifty thousand Great Qi soldiers left in the tunnel..." Chu Mo couldn't help but to feel a chill down his spine.

A million-strong army... The largest troop he had ever seen was just over a hundred thousand. Chu Mo had never seen a million soldiers. But he could imagine what a spectacular sight it would be.

Flags flying, where the front was not visible, the end was not discernable, it was mighty, continuous, and countless.

But now, in just over half a day, they were almost wiped out!

"This passage through Skybreaker Mountain... is a man-eating tunnel!" Chu Mo shook his head slightly. At this moment, several powerful streams of Blood Sha Qi flew towards the Sky Mirror on Chu Mo's chest.

For some unknown reason, after these strands of Blood Sha Qi cycled through the Sky Mirror, they amazingly turned around and fed Chu Mo!

Chu Mo could feel a powerful force rushing through his meridians.

He was slightly surprised at first, followed by a hint of enlightenment: The Sky Mirror... no longer needed the Blood Sha Qi!

The death of nearly a million creatures and the resultant Blood Energy are truly terrifying.

When the Azure Sky Divine Mirror kept feeding Chu Mo finely refined energy formed from this Blood Energy, Chu Mo deeply experienced this terror.

Boom!

The shackles of the Iron Bone Realm's peak were almost instantly unlocked!

This finely refined energy formed from the Blood Energy, in an instant, seeped into Chu Mo's bloodstream.

Chu Mo felt his blood, in a split second, ignite.

The pain he felt caused him to involuntarily grunt in discomfort!

This indescribable pain of one's blood burning... if it were an ordinary person, they would've died on the spot.

Chu Mo began to frantically channel Heaven's Will and My Will, with Heaven's Will Scroll nearly perfected at this moment. As the scripture circulated, the unbearable pain was slightly alleviated, but it was still hard to bear.

The Blood Energy continued to flow towards Chu Mo all the while, the Azure Sky Divine Mirror, too, was slowly disappearing,

In the end, it disappeared completely into Chu Mo's chest leaving only a faint mark on Chu Mo's skin, so faint one wouldn't notice unless one looked carefully!

At this point, Chu Mo completely disregarded these issues. His mind was blank. He was acting almost instinctively as he circulated Heaven's Will and My Will.

The battle at the foot of the mountain was drawing to a close.

He Xu led over five thousand men, searching for remnants of the Great Qi Army's vanguard.

Amazingly, even after such a great victory, He Xu's side only had around a dozen injured. One of them even got his foot sprained from accidentally falling into a deep valley... this was simply unbelievable!

It could only be said that they were all too familiar with everything about the Skybreaker Mountain range. Their combined strength was overwhelming!

A group of soldiers who had never lacked primordial stones for cultivation, even the lowest-ranking of them was in the Primordial Pass realm, naturally, their combat power was shockingly formidable.

Last but not least, with a ninth-tier Primordial Beast's help, achieving such a victory wasn't surprising.

The Windwing Dragon didn't say a single word from start to end. After decimating a majority of the Great Qi's vanguard, it silently flew away.

This left the soldiers on the side of Great Xia utterly astonished.

He Xu alone, looking in the direction of the mountain, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He finally submitted completely to Chu Mo, both in his heart and his words!

Because earlier, Chu Mo had told him that when demolishing the vanguard, a high-ranking Primordial Beast would help. He didn't believe it at first—he felt Chu Mo was neither a beast tamer nor capable of invoking a high-ranking Primordial Beast's help, not with Chu Mo's cultivation level. At best, Chu Mo could summon a few third-tier Primordial Beasts; what would be the use of that?

Ultimately, when the dragon appeared in the sky - that unparalleled power and unmatched elegance... it made He Xu shiver in his soul.

He found it hard to believe that such a top-tier Primordial Beast—an Azure Dragon, revered as a divine beast in the minds of civilians— could appear in this place and help them.

They had been in the Skybreaker Mountain range for ten years, but they never knew there was such a creature here.

At this point, Chu Mo was at a critical breakthrough moment!

The process to solidify Iron Blood was coming to an end!

Chu Mo's breakthrough into the Bone Refining Realm was different from all other warriors in the world, he didn't leave any of his bones unrefined. That madness would outright scare a Da Neng to death.

Now...he once again...repeated such madness!

Normal warriors only need to turn a little bit of Dantian blood into energy, mixing it with the Dantian primordial force is enough.

But Chu Mo... yet again... refined all his body's blood!

He aimed to combine all the blood in his body with the primordial force inside!

Even if the Demon Lord was here, he would probably be dumbstruck and say: "You're mad!" (To be continued.
