Divine Replication System

"The scent is so peculiar that it can impact those at the peak of Emperor Level just by being inhaled. Yet, it's merely an illusion designed to ensnare those whose cultivation is insufficient. Without the necessary strength, one would become nothing more than a component of it upon approach," Lin Xuan mused, his eyes sparkling with wonder at the pool's mystical properties. Despite his vast experience, this was a phenomenon he had never encountered before.    

"Regrettably, my physical strength has attained the Half-level Emperor status, and the quality of my Pill Essence is not far behind, leaving me unaffected," Lin Xuan said, shaking his head slightly. On the Dongyuan Continent, there were few things capable of influencing him.    

"Awoo! Awoo!" Tian's calls echoed, filled with an intensified longing. Yet, Tian remained lucid, his gaze sharp and clear. The mere scent had the power to influence those at the highest echelons of Emperor Level, which spoke volumes about its inherent potency, especially given its vast quantity. The benefits of absorbing and consuming it would undoubtedly be significant, explaining Tian's eagerness.    

"Tian, we're almost there. Just a little longer," Lin Xuan reassured with a smile. Tian, composed and patient, continued to wait. His intelligence was evident; he knew that all of this would eventually belong to him, and there was no competition to be had. Indeed, a Demon Beast with the True Dragon Bloodline like Tian might be second to none across the entire Tianyuan Continent.    

As time slipped by, another quarter of an hour elapsed, and tranquility once again enveloped the Devil Cloud Sect's domain. The thick mist that had enshrouded the area was now gone, fully absorbed by the Demon Aura blood within the lake. The transformation was impressive; the once crimson pool had darkened to an almost imperceptible hue of black, and the subtle, enticing fragrance that had lingered in the air had vanished without a trace. This was one of its unique traits: during the refinement process, it would emit an aroma to lure living beings, converting them into its components. But once the process was complete, it would cease to emit any fragrance at all.    

It was as though a real creature had cast out bait to lure its prey.    

Once satiated, it no longer required any lure.    

It was indeed eerie.    

The once tumultuous and towering waves of the lake had settled into tranquility.    

It had reverted to its former state, resembling a flawless mirror.    

Not a single ripple disturbed its surface.    

From a distance, it appeared as a dark gemstone.    

Yet, the formidable aura it radiated did not wane but grew more intense and astonishing.    

Even Wei Zhengzhen, Cang Shuiyue, and other peak Emperor Level individuals felt an immense pressure, as if a colossal mountain weighed upon their backs, even from hundreds of meters away from the Demon Aura Blood Spirit Pool.    

They sensed their Vitality and Pill Essence struggling to circulate.    

However, they had previously experienced Lin Xuan's formidable pressure.    

By comparison, this was somewhat less intense and could be withstood.    

This pressure also revealed the quality and tier of the spirit blood within the Demon Aura Blood Spirit Pool.    

Should Lin Xuan harness and assimilate it, he might significantly enhance his abilities.    

But for the others, it was a mere spectacle.    

Even if it were offered to them, they wouldn't dare to partake.    

Among the onlookers, those who recognized Lin Xuan, like the Elemental Spirit Hall's Master Yuan Ling, inwardly lamented.    

Truly, he was one blessed with great fate and opportunities.    

In just a few years, he had achieved a level unmatched in thousands of years on the Dongyuan Continent.    

And now, he had stumbled upon yet another fortuitous chance.    

His power was poised for another substantial increase.    

On the Dongyuan Continent, it was common for even those at the late Emperor Level to languish at a plateau.    

Decades or even centuries without progress were the norm.    

The disparity was stark and difficult to come to terms with.    

Meanwhile, at the Stone Stand next to the Demon Aura Blood Spirit Pool, at the core of the formation,    

Lin Xuan rose to his feet, exhaling deeply.    

"At last, it's done."    

This task hadn't been overly challenging for him.    

It simply involved activating the Spell Formation and leveraging its capabilities.    

Still, the workload was considerable.    

Alone, he had managed the entire grand formation flawlessly, making necessary adjustments to maximize its potential.    

This was by no means an easy feat.    

Thankfully, it was finally accomplished.    

The task involved the vast Demon Aura Blood Spirit Pool, spanning over a dozen miles, resembling a lake. Its surface was disturbed by the nearly infinite black Demon Aura Blood Spirit.    

The energy was immense, like an ocean in turmoil.    

Lin Xuan, upon perceiving it, was somewhat astonished.    

Had there been no potential consequences, he would have been reluctant to give it all to Tian.    

The complete refinement of it would require a considerable amount of time.    

However, the payoff would be substantial, potentially elevating his power by several tiers.    

Reaching the late period of the Martial Monarch Stage could even be within reach.    

At that juncture, both the quality and quantity of his Pill Essence would see a significant boost.    

His capabilities would be incomparable to his current state.    

He would even have the resources to activate profound mysteries.    

Facing a Half-level Emperor, Lin Xuan could confidently claim fearlessness.    

Even if he couldn't defeat an adversary, he could hold his ground.    

Even when besieged by multiple Half-level Emperors, he could emerge unscathed.    

On the Central Essence Continent, he would possess the prowess to roam freely and without fear.    

Regrettably, the Demon Essence Spirit Blood in this lake was a remnant of the Devil Cloud Sect, likely tainted by the Demon Essence Race.    

Lin Xuan was cautious not to be ensnared by the Demon Essence Race's plots in exchange for temporary power.    

When the time came to confront the Demon Essence Race, he needed to be prepared to resist.    

Given his renown, position, and aptitude, the Demon Essence Race would surely not overlook him.    

For the sake of his future, he would have to exercise patience.    

Besides, his spoils from scouring the entire Dongyuan Continent were substantial.    

Upon his return to the Central Essence Continent, a period of seclusion at Jade Dragon Mountain would allow him to ascend several realms.    

There was no need to fixate on this particular power.    

It would be best to entrust it all to Tian.    

Tian, with his True Dragon Bloodline and the heritage of the Heavenly Warring Dragon, had the depth and potential to assimilate and neutralize any hidden machinations.    

In this regard, Lin Xuan acknowledged the gap between them.    

And with that thought, he turned his attention to the Demon Aura Blood Spirit Pool and began to collect it.    

After gently stroking Tian's smooth, satin-like head, Lin Xuan offered a faint smile and said,    

"Go ahead, all of this is yours, as long as you can manage to swallow it.    

Don't worry if you can't consume it all in one go. Don't push yourself too hard.    

I'll save the rest for you and give it to you once you've digested what you can.    

Like I said, if it's yours, it's yours."    

"Awoo! Awoo!"    

Tian affectionately nuzzled Lin Xuan's palm with his head in response.    

No longer able to contain his excitement, he transformed into a streak of light and darted away.    

In an instant, he reached the very heart of the vast Demon Aura Blood Spirit Pool.    

Witnessing this, Wei Zhengzhen, Elemental Spirit, and the other Emperor Level Martial Cultivators were initially puzzled.    

But in the next instant, their faces were etched with sheer astonishment.
