After devouring and refining those thirty drops of the Fire Lion King's essence blood, Wang Ruoxie finally broke through to the Element Transformation Realm.
Although it's just the First Layer of the Element Transformation Realm, the presence of a trace of primordial power within him greatly enhanced his strength.
Moreover, now when he performs special secret techniques like the Star Shattering Finger and the Blood Burning Technique, the cost required will be significantly reduced.
This improvement enhanced his overall strength by at least tenfold.
Now, even when facing someone at the Fourth or even Fifth Layer of the Element Transformation Realm, he has the strength to fight.
The next day, morning.
Wang Ruoxie walked out of the room, and at this moment, Tang Miaoyin also happened to come out of the room opposite.
"You broke through to the Element Transformation Realm?"
Tang Miaoyin exclaimed the moment she saw Wang Ruoxie.
She could naturally sense the aura emanating from Wang Ruoxie, which was several times stronger than before.
"Yes."
Wang Ruoxie smiled and nodded in response.
"You truly have many secrets."
Tang Miaoyin looked at Wang Ruoxie with a glint in her eyes and spoke again.
She had already guessed that Wang Ruoxie must have used a special secret technique, aided by those thirty drops of the Fire Lion King's essence blood, to break through to the Element Transformation Realm overnight.
As far as she knew, even in the Royal Palace Treasure Vault, there were no such secret techniques.
Generally speaking, the essence blood of demon beasts is mostly used to nourish qi and blood and temper the body, and hardly anyone can directly use it to elevate their cultivation realm.
However, not only could Wang Ruoxie transform and upgrade his bloodline, but he could also directly elevate his cultivation using demon beast essence blood. Clearly, he must have mastered an extraordinarily heaven-defying secret technique.
Wang Ruoxie merely smiled without refuting or explaining anything.
The Blood God Essence Blood is his biggest secret, besides reincarnation and rebirth, and he naturally wouldn't reveal it easily.
Seeing Wang Ruoxie had no intention of telling her, Tang Miaoyin did not ask further. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and she is no exception.
However, Wang Ruoxie breaking through to the First Layer of the Element Transformation Realm must mean he's stronger, which would undoubtedly be beneficial for the upcoming journey to the Underground Blood Cave.
After leaving the inn, Wang Ruoxie and Tang Miaoyin directly headed to the entrance of the Underground Blood Cave.
"Miaoyin, we meet again."
As the two reached the entrance of the Underground Blood Cave, they encountered another group, including a young man in a white silk robe who seemed to recognize Tang Miaoyin.
Tang Miaoyin glanced lightly at the young man and said, "Zhou Lun, we are not very familiar, so it's best if you don't call me that."
"Seventh Princess, no need to be so distant."
Zhou Lun laughed awkwardly and spoke again.
"We are not familiar, so there's no need to talk about being distant."
Tang Miaoyin said coldly before turning to Wang Ruoxie, "Let's go in."
Wang Ruoxie nodded. He could tell Zhou Lun was likely one of Tang Miaoyin's suitors and seemed to hold quite a high status. Otherwise, Tang Miaoyin might not even have said a word to him.
"This Seventh Princess is really too arrogant."
At this moment, a piercing voice suddenly rang out.
Wang Ruoxie and Tang Miaoyin turned to see that the speaker was a young girl behind Zhou Lun.
"Youyou, don't speak lightly. The Seventh Princess has a noble status and naturally won't care about us."
The tall and lean man beside the girl also spoke.
On the surface, he was scolding the girl, but in reality, he was mocking Tang Miaoyin for being arrogant.
"I never consider myself highly noble, I just don't want to bother with some boring people."
Tang Miaoyin replied coldly and then walked straight to the entrance of the Underground Blood Cave.
Wang Ruoxie, of course, followed behind her and entered the Underground Blood Cave.
Watching their disappearing figures, a cold gleam flashed in Zhou Lun's eyes. He then turned to the others and said, "Let's go in too."
In East Victory Kingdom, many legends surround the Underground Blood Cave.
Some say that after a Celestial Human Realm powerhouse fell, his qi and blood turned into a Blood Demon, turning a previously ordinary underground cave into the current Blood Cave.
Others say that the Underground Blood Cave had long existed, and that Celestial Human Realm powerhouse was merely killed by an evil demon in the Blood Cave, his flesh devoured by the demon while his soul turned into a Blood Demon, becoming a puppet of the evil demon.
Some even say that there is a treasure within the Underground Blood Cave capable of enhancing bloodline tiers.
But the truth remains unknown to all.
Almost every year, numerous talented experts flock here from all over, attempting to unravel the mystery of the Blood Cave.
However, the result always ends with them staying in the Blood Cave forever.
As a result, fewer and fewer people dare to enter the Underground Blood Cave, and even those who enter dare not venture too deep.
"Be cautious. The Underground Blood Cave is full of dangers. Even martial cultivators at the Middle Stage of the Element Transformation Realm cannot guarantee they'll come out alive."
Having entered the Underground Blood Cave, Tang Miaoyin spoke to Wang Ruoxie.
"Yes, I understand."
Wang Ruoxie nodded slightly. Although he had broken through to the First Layer of the Element Transformation Realm, his strength was no weaker than that of a genuine Element Transformation Realm Middle Stage. Yet, in this death zone known as the Underground Blood Cave, he dared not be careless.
As they continued deeper, the rocks inside the cave gradually turned blood-red, and even a liquid similar to blood began to drip.
"Drip, drip..."
In the silence of the Blood Cave, the continuous dripping sound gave everyone an unsettling feeling.
"Such a dense Blood Fiend aura."
Wang Ruoxie furrowed his brows and murmured.
"For hundreds of years, countless people have died in this Underground Blood Cave. Their bodies have decayed, but the blood released seeped into the ground, turning this place into a true land of death over time."
Tang Miaoyin said softly, "One could say that the Underground Blood Cave is formed by the blood of countless people."
"Precisely because of this, the Blood Fiend aura in the cave is extremely intense. Generally, those with weaker determination wouldn't dare to step in here even half a step."
Hearing Tang Miaoyin's words, Wang Ruoxie nodded secretly. No one understood the Blood Fiend aura better than he did.
In his previous life, he had become a Blood Demon, leaving rivers of Blood Fiend aura wherever he passed. Below the Celestial Monarch Realm, life could be extinguished in an instant.
Even for those at the Celestial Monarch Realm, if their strength was eroded by his Blood Fiend aura, it would be hugely impacted.
"Wow..."
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly emerged ahead.
Then, the group saw numerous blood-red figures appear before them.
These figures were entirely blood-colored, even their eyes were blood-red. They were about twice as tall as an average human, with not much difference in appearance from humans, but each had a pair of blood wings on their back.
"It's Blood Demons."
"Damn it, we're not even deep in the Blood Cave. How can there be Blood Demons here?"
Zhou Lun and the others exclaimed in shock, their faces turned extremely grim.
Although these were just regular Blood Demons, they were still immensely powerful, and in such numbers, they seemed to face a life-and-death battle.
