Chapter 257: Bloodflow Fury
Just like when Cain sent his Ego Wave into the starry gem that held Blood Hand, an illusion appeared in his mind, and he saw a man standing on top of an ocean full of blood.
What surprised Cain was the fact that the man was Bloodless #1. It seemed that the powerhouse was the one that engraved the technique into the starry gem.
For a moment, Cain wondered if he engraved his understanding of a Saint Technique in the future, whether people would see a picture of him going over the technique. Those thoughts did not last for long as soon his focus returned to Bloodless #1 as this one went over the Blood Refinement Art.
Bloodless #1 started from the beginning, devouring the blood beneath his feet and using it to nurture his flesh. Then came the formation of Blood Energy.
Those were the first and second levels of the Blood Refinement Art, something Cain knew very well, but the next part was completely new for him.
Once the Blood Energy in the body reached its peak and you could not hold any more of it inside, it was time to create Blood Runes.
A Blood Rune was the crystallization of Blood Energy, each very small but capable of holding massive amounts of energy. Creating a single rune meant the evolution to the third level of the Blood Refinement Art.
The process of creating each Blood Rune was extremely complicated, but Cain could gain a basic understanding and tap into the experiences that Bloodless #1 engraved in the starry gem.
As you advance to the third level, the amount of Blood Runes inside your body will increase. The final number was determined by your constitution, with those with a strong physique able to hold much more than others.
In the end, the number of Blood Runes inside your body will reach its apex, and at that point will come the fourth level, the creation of the Blood Core.
If generating a Blood Rune was complicated, the birth of a Blood Core was nearly impossible to decipher. Cain’s cognitive abilities were superb thanks to his soul force and Ego Wave, but even he had difficulty figuring out how to evolve from the third level to the fourth.
Seeing the wonders that the body could achieve was beyond amazing for Cain. The Essence Evolution Path of Power deciphered the mysteries of the world and nature, tapping into the power of the Laws. Yet, the way the Astral Rebirth Path of Power analyzed and modified the body was not any less wonderful and intricate.
