Core Against Core

As the heat spread throughout Bia Long's body, his skin started to heat up and release large amounts of steam. His eyes became red and he started to steam from head to toe, the look in his eyes showed how painful and unbearable the heat was.

"Where are you"

Bia Long gritted his teeth while circulating the Bia tribe's flaming cultivation method. It was a method passed down by Bia Anue and was known as the Flame Burst Formula. Using the flames of the earth to forge the meridians to the point of being able to withstand the burning heat of the fire of heaven and earth.

What Bia Long was searching for was the 6th meridian, normally one would be able to forcefully open a meridian channel once they had enough spiritual energy to do so. But this method had a big disadvantage to it and that was, the meridian would not be sturdy enough after being opened.

Forcing through would damage the meridian channel and would cause future problems for the martial artist. This was a tested and proven situation thus Bia Long chose to use the energy of the nine suns leaf to carve out a path for this new meridian.

If one leaf didn't work, then he would use all nine if he had to. The only thing with this method was that it would take an extremely long time for him to refine and absorb the large amount of spiritual energy that the flower contained.

"Is that kid out again, how comes he's always disappearing"

Bia Ginze stood on a building top with the new residence without anyone even realizing he was there, at this time, it had been approximately five days since the disappearance of Bia Xiao, and even Bia Ginze was starting to wonder.

When the recent events with the Gue tribe and the members of the Tang Clan, Bia Ginze was starting to wonder if something had happened to Bia Xiao. But due to what happened the last time, with Bia Xiao appearing after one year, he was wondering if he should take the trouble to go look for him or not.

"I'll give him the next five days. If he doesn't show up, I'll go look for him"

Bia Ginze turned into a blur as his figure faded into thin air. Hidden within the shadows of one of the buildings in Bia Xiao's residence, a middle-aged man slowly fade away as he took note of Bia Ginze.

Deep underground, the body of Bia Xiao could be seen laying in the center of a complex formation. There were thousands of lines twisting and turning, some even crossed each other and turn strange paths that were hard to understand.

Each line seemed to contain a certain charm to it, the lines were smooth but sharp, it was like these lines were drawn a million times already and were perfected over time. If one looked closely, they would see that these lines were drawn using a spear and the deep mysteries of heaven and earth were fused within each stroke.

A cool breeze was blowing within the formation, even though he was deep underground, it was as if the formation was generating this cool breeze. Running between the lines of the formation was running water.

This running water converges at the center where Bia Xiao was laying down. The running water forms a pool of water which glowed with a bluish color, ripples spread out on the surfaces of the water with each beat of the Celestial Seizing Core.

Though Bia Xiao hadn't died, his chest had dried blood all over it but the broken ribs were all healed already. The water flowing around his body was slowly healing his injuries but the internal ones were a little troublesome to deal with.

Bia Xiao's recovering abilities using the healing properties of water weren't at a level where he could heal internal injuries in little to no time. But with his body in the center of the formation, even though his injuries were healing slowly, his life was intact and his spirit would not fade.

Right at this moment, the Myriad Beast Spear came flying in, the tearing of the air could be heard as it moves quickly across the air space. Stuck go the spear were several fruits of various sizes, the spear flew to a corner, and in that corner, piles of fruits could be seen laying around.

A gentle breeze blew and the fruits flew out and landed on the ground with the rest of the fruits. Once that happened, the spear flew out to Bia Xiao's body, and above it, the Dark Blood Core slowly came out of the spear's internal formation.

If one looked closely, the Dark Blood Core had layers upon layers of restrictions placed around it. No matter how hard the blood of blood struggled, it couldn't shake free from the layers of restrictions. Even the dark aura within the blood could not be felt due to these restrictions.

The spear then turned crossway and the image of a blurry little girl could be seen floating above the spear's body. The little girl made a hand sign and pointed towards Bia Xiao's body, the right side of his chest split open but there was shocking no blood leaking out.

What came out was the glowing Celestial Seizing Core. When the core came out, ruins in the millions filled the underground cave, everywhere one looked there could be seen ruins densely packed together. Even the air itself was thick with ruins of all shapes and sizes.

The ruins then glowed with a bright blue light as they stuck themselves, onto the Dark Blood Core. The restrictions broke one by one and the blood core was released, when that happened, a dark light shined out within the cave.

The walls of the cave started shaky frantically as the light slowly spread outwards, loud roaring sounds echoed out of the blood core like the raging madness of a demon. Wild and brutal energy blasted out of the center of the Dark Blood Core towards the Celestial Seizing Core.

When the energy neared Bia Xiao's body, the formation surrounding his body in the pool of water glowed brightly. The cool breeze blowing within turn furious like a hurricane and slashed against the energy.

Bia Xiao who was still unconscious didn't have clue about what was going on around him. The blurry girl pressed his hands down, the millions of ruins began to condense on the Dark Blood Core. When this happened, the blood core started to shake even more and the walls of the cave began to c***k.

"Dumb ghost, bow when in the presence of a God"

The blurry girl pressed down with her hands once again, this time, a blinding blue light burst out of the Celestial Seizing Core. Spaced was locked in place and even the cool breeze stopped blowing.

The aura of a ruler descended with the rays of the blue light. The roaring sounds of the Dark Blood Core faded as if it had might something dreadful, even the frantic shaking stopped all of a sudden.

The millions of ruins took the chance when the Dark Blood Core stopped shaking to rush into it. The millions of ruins one by one absorb the blood energy of the Dark Blood Core, the ruins shined even brighter with each passing moment.

The energy within the blood core was so abundant that it was shocking to the eyes. When a ruin absorbed enough energy, it would float back into the Celestial Seizing Core. When that happened, the core would glow even brighter as if it was recharging, the ruling aura even started to increase when each ruin that returned, and even the image of the little girl started to girl more corporal.

"It has been so long"

The little girl floated down towards Bia Xiao, the Myriad Beast Spear flew down as well as it floated around above his head like a guard that would forever shield him from the wind and rain.

The little girl looked at the unconscious Bia Xiao, even though his eyes were closed, from his brow, one could see how unwilling to submit he was. It was a type of stubbornness that would never fade even when one was faced with death.

"He truly reminds me of the old man"

The little girl murmured. After 6 hours, the millions of ruins had finally absorbed all of the energy inside of the Dark Blood Core. The Celestial Seizing Core was shining like the sun, if one were to look at it right now, only blindness awaits.

The little girl reached out her hands and the Celestial Seizing Core floated down on to the palm of her hands. With but a thought from her, the core floated back into Bia Xiao's body, and instantly, his body lit up like a blazing up. His skin started to be covered in hundreds and thousands of ruins.

The blood inside of his body roared to life with the beating of his heart and Bia Xiao's eyes popped out with a furious light.
