Opening his status panel, he noticed the Blood Origin's description remained unchanged, but a tier had been added to its prefix title:
It now read: [Blood Origin (Fifth-Tier Talent)].
The original "Cannot be upgraded" tag had also disappeared.
At that moment, he withdrew from his sea of consciousness.
Opening his eyes, he found Lin Ran standing beside him, observing him with curiosity.
Without hesitation, he activated the Blood Source Ability.
To his embarrassment, his body showed no change whatsoever.
He suddenly remembered that when he had taken Three-Tailed from Lin Ran earlier, he had already activated the Blood Source Ability to prevent the creature's escape, leaving him completely drained of qi blood.
"A'Ran, could you catch a domain creature for me?" Feng Qi immediately turned to Lin Ran for help.
"Alright," Lin Ran nodded in understanding, his form dissolving into mist as he drifted into the distance.
After about ten minutes, Lin Ran descended from the sky, carrying a massive, bull-like domain creature.
Boom!
The bull-like creature crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up dust and emitting a muffled, mournful bellow.
Without hesitation, Feng Qi strode forward and unleashed a series of powerful punches into the creature's body.
Under the relentless assault, the domain creature quickly fell silent. A cloud of blood mist surged into Feng Qi's body.
Opening his status panel, he saw his bloodline evolution points had reached 1805/10000.
Simultaneously, he gained a brand-new innate ability:
Digestion (Upgradeable Innate Ability)
Ability Description: Provides a minor enhancement to digestion and absorption, converting food into energy for the body. Accelerates stamina recovery and wound healing.
Feng Qi considered this ability largely useless.
His self-healing capabilities were already quite strong.
Even after a battle, he didn't need to rely on food to accelerate his recovery of stamina and injuries; he could simply wait.
After killing the domain creature, the crimson patterns on his skin glowed vividly once more.
He immediately activated his Blood Source Ability.
A familiar sensation surged through him as copious amounts of qi blood erupted from the crimson patterns on his skin, coalescing into flesh buds that rapidly grew across his body.
His form continued to expand under the torrent of blood mist, his muscles rapidly regenerating and surging with immense power.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a nearly four-meter-tall Blood Giant.
A distinct purple rune materialized on his chest—the magic immunity rune granted by his innate ability, Purple Soul.
Just as Feng Qi was pondering what new changes the evolved Blood Source had brought,
emerald flames suddenly erupted from his skin, while the surging qi blood within him roared like a tidal wave.
He recognized these emerald flames well.
When he had first obtained the Purple Soul innate ability by defeating Stone Mountain, his Blood Origin Form had been significantly enhanced through the active sacrifices of the Goat-Headed Demons.
Back then, emerald flames had also erupted from his skin.
Compared to that earlier form, the one fueled by the Goat-Headed Demons' sacrifices had been far more grotesque.
At that time, a phantom deity hovered behind him, a pair of jet-black ram horns sprouted from his forehead, the crimson patterns on his body darkened to a deep red, and his height surged to five meters.
It was precisely through this special Blood Origin Form that he had slain "Stone Mountain" and obtained the innate ability Purple Soul.
This clearly indicated the future evolution path of the Blood Origin Form.
Now, surging qi blood coursed through his body, resonating with a thunderous roar.
He raised his hand forward, and the flames enveloping his body converged into his palm, coalescing into a dark green fireball that shot forward.
Boom!
A deafening explosion erupted as the fireball blasted a gaping hole in the building ahead.
Scattered sparks of dark green ignited the structure, flames rapidly climbing and engulfing the entire building in emerald fire.
The conflagration showed signs of spreading.
"A'Ran, test my abilities for me," he said, turning to Lin Ran.
"Alright!" Lin Ran stepped forward.
Seeing this, Feng Qi immediately threw a punch at Lin Ran.
As he struck, the dark green flames covering his body were drawn toward his fist.
The punch collided with Lin Ran's shield of condensed gray mist, flames and mist clashing and hissing as they eroded each other.
The struggle persisted for a while before dissipating.
