The evil energy all around burrowed into Yue Zhong's body, attempting to suck him dry as well. However, they were all dispelled by the Golden Battle Armor on him.

After rising to the peak-Type 9 realm, Yue Zhong's combat strength and sense had increased greatly, reaching that of a True God.

As an invincible and perfect being, a True God expert could use the same amount of strength to defeat a half-step True God. One of the main reason was that of the God-type combat sense, allowing the powerhouse to make the most accurate response.

Although Yue Zhong's combat sense had not reached that of a True God expert, he was already able to discern that the River of Golden Blood could not break through his Golden Battle Armor.

"The blood is that of True Gods. I can make use of the strength within to cultivate my Blood Manipulation ability." With a thought, Yue Zhong executed the technique, and the blood radiance came out, entering the river.

Immediately, the river trembled, and a surge of evil intent blasted out, immediately disintegrating the blood radiance.

The long River of Golden Blood had been formed through countless True Gods and had become a strange existence itself.

Its strength was even above some True God expert, however, it did not possess an indestructible True God soul, nor the perfect combat sense, and did not grasp laws or principles perfectly. That was why it could not wipe out the powerhouses above in a single move. Even so, it was not something so easily absorbed by Yue Zhong.

"Seems like the Blood Manipulation is still some ways off. However, with this much blood, it is truly a treasure trove. I can use my flames to refine them, and retrieve the purest power." With a thought, his near-True God combat sense immediately gave him the solution.

The God-Devil Physique and the near-perfect combat sense were just a few of the gifts of being an Oracle, which could easily strike fear in experts of the 800 worlds.

An Oracle with the God-Devil Imprint would meet the hostility and animosity of various experts, having to deal with their attacks, attempts to devour them, and it was tough to grow and mature. However, if one was able to surpass all this, then the Oracle would become a heaven-defying existence. Because of this, all the experts of the various race would want to attack Yue Zhong the moment they found out.

Yue Zhong became calm and grabbed a handful of blood, and starting to burn it. In the process, the strand of will and insidious energy within were immolated away, forming a pure-white divine energy, entering his body.

Such a method of refining the True God's energy was imprinted within Yue Zhong's consciousness, a sort of precious method not everyone knew.

After he absorbed that amount of blood, numerous golden axes and swords were formed within the blood, slicing at Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong sat within the River of Golden Blood, allowing those attacks to slam into his armor, not harming him in the slightest, instead, he used them to train his physique, causing it to become even stronger.

No matter what form the River took, it was unable to tear through the armor on Yue Zhong. A number of high-Type 9 corpses also swam out, launching attacks on Yue Zhong, but to no avail.

The Golden Battle Armor was truly one of the strongest defense-related treasures, in order to break through it, it would take a True God to act, or a similar-grade treasure.

Right at this moment, there was an unfathomable intent that transmitted over, "Human, the Great Xue Man is willing to join forces with you, and wipe out those damned races. Please stop destroying my body! They are our common enemy, let's work together to eliminate them."

When Yue Zhong heard those words, he stopped refining the river, after all, he had the same killing intent towards those damned foreign races.

Yue Zhong replied, "Hand me all the God Blood Lotuses on you. I will work with you to wipe out that trash."

The will within the river replied swiftly, "Fine!"

This strange existence Xue Man that was formed from the blood essence of the True Gods did not lack strength. After all, its body was the blood of True Gods, containing boundless strength. The God Blood Lotuses were items that it could do without, thus, it had no qualms gifting them to Yue Zhong.

Soon, there was a pile of God Blood Lotuses in front of Yue Zhong. He did not hesitate, sweeping them into his Universe Ring, and the same time, he grabbed a handful to stuff into his mouth.

The moment he swallowed them, they turned into a powerful and cooling divine strength, nourishing his body and soul, enhancing him once again.

In his joy, he continued to consume another stalk. However, this time, the effects were muted, he could only sense a cooling sensation, but there was not much change to his strength.

Yue Zhong looked at the pile of God Blood Lotus and sighed, "What a pity, these items are getting less effective for me."

Towards the later stages of evolution, these precious resources would become decreasingly effective the more they were used. Due to this, Yue Zhong's God-Devil Imprint was extremely valuable.

As long as Yue Zhong absorbed enough life force, he could break through bottlenecks with no problems. Such a heaven-defying talent was naturally the target of envy and jealousy.

Yue Zhong thought for a while before asking, "Xue Man, if I help you get rid of those people, are you able to open the entrance to the 5th Level for me?"

Xue Man asked, "What's that? Is it this?"

As he spoke, there was a bright light, and a pure white door opened out of thin air.

"It's open!!"

"It's actually open?!"

"Go!!"

"..."

Seeing the gate opened, every single powerhouse was taken aback, before charging straight for the entrance with joy. No one was willing to stay behind and get involved with the River.

Yue Zhong was also shocked, before his silhouette flickered and dashed out of the River of Golden Blood, entering the space.

"They've all left! Bunch of fools that are seeking death. At least, I managed to sift out a decent number here, it should be enough." Seeing everyone disappear, the voice from the river resounded solemnly.

The moment Yue Zhong entered the 5th level, he saw numerous floating crystal prisms, each of them engraved with laws and secret techniques.

In front of one prism, Jeffery had one hand on it, while muttering in a trance, "So it was like that!! The principle of silk can still evolve!! Unbelievable!! I was truly a frog in a well, no wonder I could not break through to the True God stage!"

Other than Jeffery, many other experts were also frantically finding a crystal prism for their own, absorbing the knowledge greedily, every single one of them in a trance-like state as their bodies emitted powerful fluctuations.

Yue Zhong looked at those engrossed in comprehension and his killing intent billowed. If he took the chance to act now, he could definitely eliminate many Type 9 powerhouses.

However, the moment his killing intent soared, there was a message in his mind, "This is the Sacred Temple of Laws, no one is to kill here, offenders will be wiped out."

Yue Zhong took a deep breath and swiftly went in front of a Fire-based crystal pillar, reaching out to touch it.

The moment his hand came in contact with the crystal pillar, he felt a rush of insight into fire directly swarming his consciousness, increasing his understanding of it.

As he absorbed the knowledge, he soon had a similar trance-like expression, "So this was the case, I was truly ignorant about the Dao of Fire! This is the true crux of it!"

While everyone was comprehending the laws, a pure atmospheric energy permeated the area, entering everyone, strengthening them continuously.

At the same time, there was a strange clock that appeared within this Sacred Temple, the time needle continuously moving.

"It's done! I've comprehended the crux of the Dao of Fire, I can now refine that damn soul imprint of that True God!!"

After a long period, that no one knew how long they had cultivated for, Yue Zhong suddenly opened his eyes, and he reached out into his consciousness, congealing an avatar shrouded in flames.

The indestructible soul imprint encaged within his consciousness also revealed himself.

The soul imprint took a look at Yue Zhong and was thoroughly shocked, stammering, "Peak-Type 9… how did you evolve so fast?!! How did you become a peak-Type 9 powerhouse?! How could you be so fast?!"

"You will become my stepping stone!"

Yue Zhong's eyes narrowed coldly, and he immediately reached out with a fiery palm towards the True God's soul imprint, grabbing him viciously.

As the flames danced, the soul imprint began to burn away in the midst of screams.
