Chapter 983 Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force

Before he finished speaking, Jing Yu's figure had already disappeared from the spot!

It wasn't that he used any escape techniques (which couldn't be used here), but rather that he unleashed terrifying speed from his physical strength, which had surged to its limit, leaving only a ring of air ripples in his wake.

The mammoth only felt a blur before its eyes, and a tiny human figure appeared directly in front of its head.

It instinctively tried to raise its massive trunk to lash out or to butt it with its tusks, but it was too late.

Jing Yu swung the heavy hexagonal golden mace with one arm. The movement seemed simple and direct, yet it carried a sense of returning to simplicity.

The hammer traced a brief but violent arc through the air, compressing the air to its extreme and producing a slightly muffled whistling sound!

"Boom!!!"

The golden mace struck the center of the mammoth's hard, iron-like forehead bone with a resounding thud.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, to the astonishment of Qiu Xu, Guo Tingshu, and the others, the enormous, ferocious head of the creature exploded from the point of impact, like a watermelon crushed by a tremendous force!

Hardened frontal bone, flesh, and brain matter mixed together and sprayed backward in a radial pattern.

The colossal elephant's massive body suddenly stiffened, its blood-red, ferocious eyes instantly losing all their luster. Then, like a mountain collapsing and a jade pillar toppling, it crashed to the ground with a thunderous roar, kicking up clouds of dust.

The whole process was swift and efficient; from Jing Yu's sudden attack to the giant elephant's death, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

A ferocious beast from the Demon Refining Realm, whose cultivation level was comparable to the Great Perfection stage of the Mahayana realm and whose hide was thick and whose defense was based on strength, was actually blown to the head by him with a single hammer blow!

"This is the dominance of pure-blooded dragon blood..." Qiu Xu murmured, filled with envy. The difference in bloodline between the Ironbacked Dragon and the pure-blooded True Dragon was enormous; otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to invite Jing Yu to enter the Demon Refining Realm to protect him!

Just as everyone was marveling at the scene, a bizarre scene unfolded.

In just a breath or two, the enormous elephant carcass collapsed completely with a "bang," turning into a thick, tangible red blood mist that exuded vigorous energy and faint fluctuations of rules!

The blood mist churned and surged, as if it were alive, rapidly contracting and condensing inward.

In just a few breaths, the blood mist that was large enough to cover an area of ​​several feet condensed into a blood-red amber about the size of a pigeon egg, perfectly round and crystal clear!

Inside the blood-red amber, faint golden lines can be seen flowing, emitting an alluring, blood-like fragrance.

With lightning speed, Jing Yu reached out and caught the blood-red amber in her palm just as it was forming and about to fall to the ground.

It was warm to the touch, not cold. On the contrary, he could clearly feel the powerful and pure blood energy contained within, which was even several times more concentrated than he had expected.

"This...this is the [Blood Amber] from the Demon Refining Realm?" Jing Yu examined the exquisite blood-red amber in her palm and thought to herself.

Qiu Xu then stepped forward, looking at the blood-red amber in Jing Yu's hand, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes, and nodded with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Bai Yuan, your methods are superb! You killed the enemy with a single blow, with minimal loss of vital energy, yet you obtained such a high-quality blood amber."

"This item is a specialty of the Demon Refining Realm. It is formed by the essence of the blood and qi of the living beings in the realm mixed with the unique rules of this realm. In the Demon Refining Realm, this [Blood Amber] can restore blood and qi. After being refined into the body, once you leave the Demon Refining Realm, the blood and qi power remaining in the body can be transformed into body refinement cultivation to nourish the physical body!"

"The more blood amber you refine in this [Demon Refining Realm], the greater the body cultivation you will receive upon leaving this realm."

Qiu Xu said, "There was once a body refiner whose body refinement realm jumped from the early stage of the Cave Heaven Realm to the late stage of the Cave Heaven Realm the instant he left the Demon Refining Realm!"

"But there is one thing to note: Blood Amber cannot be refined when one's Qi and blood are abundant. This rare treasure can only be used after a large amount of Qi and blood has been consumed."

Jing Yu pondered for a moment and said, "One cannot use [Blood Amber] when one's Qi and blood are abundant? In that case, it seems that the adult who set up this trial actually encourages fighting."

After all, only by constantly engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, stimulating each other's qi and blood to form a resonance, and fully activating the divine power deep within one's bloodline in the struggle, is it possible to consume a huge amount of qi and blood power.

Otherwise, would simply maintaining a Mahayana physique be enough? For a "pure-blooded dragon descendant" like Jing Yu, the blood and energy consumed in maintaining a Mahayana physique would probably recover naturally over time!

At this moment, Jingyu Cave is closed, and the storage bag cannot be opened. In fact, due to the restrictions of the rules of heaven and earth, even the storage bags of mortals that do not require the activation of true essence cannot be used.

Jing Yu simply put the [Blood Amber] into a pre-prepared bag and tied it around her waist.

After all, he had barely used up his energy and blood, so he was completely unable to refine this blood amber.

"Don't put it away yet."

Unexpectedly, Qiu Xu stopped Jing Yu and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Bai Yuan hasn't drawn the prize yet."

"Some of the [Blood Amber] may contain a cultivation technique inheritance... For example, the Blood Amber formed from the remains of a giant elephant might contain secret techniques and supernatural abilities related to the elephant race."

"Of course, the probability is not bad, but it's not high either. I estimate that out of ten blood amber pieces, three will have a legacy."

"How can we determine if there is any inheritance within the blood amber?" Jing Yu asked.

Qiu Xu replied, "In the Demon Refining Realm, divine sense cannot leave the body. You can simply place this blood amber on your forehead."

Jing Yu did as instructed, placing the blood-red amber on his forehead. A moment later, his eyes lit up, and sure enough, a lineage technique had been inscribed into his mind.

"【Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force】?"

After a rough understanding, Jing Yu discovered that this technique, called "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force," was a body-refining inheritance that combined offensive and defensive techniques. It could be used as a secret art or to temper one's physique.

In Jing Yu's eyes, this cultivation technique was not of a high grade, having actually consumed real "fine chaff." However, even in the Immortal Realm, it was considered a very good inheritance. If all went smoothly, it would be enough to cultivate one's physical body to the level of a Celestial Immortal.

Unfortunately, this technique can only unleash its full power if one possesses the bloodline of the Elephant Clan and the physique of an Elephant Clan. The Elephant Clan bloodline is easy to obtain; Jing Yu's [Bitter Crossing Treasure Body] can simulate any bloodline in the world as long as there is corresponding essence blood.

But the elephant race's physique? Jing Yu shook her head; it didn't fit her aesthetic at all.

"Well? Is there any powerful inheritance within this blood amber?" Qiu Xu asked expectantly.

"A martial arts technique called [Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique], so-so," Jing Yu said casually.

Qiu Xu's expression shifted, and he said, "Oh? This technique has quite a history. It was created by a Golden Immortal of the Elephant Clan when he was at the Celestial Immortal realm. Unfortunately, this Golden Immortal of the Elephant Clan later completely abandoned his physical body and turned to the path of the soul. In the end, he used the path of the soul to condense the immortal golden nature and became a Golden Immortal... This is why the highest level of this technique only stops at the Celestial Immortal realm."
