(Cultivation, Black Myth, Shu Mountain, no female lead, Nine Tribulations Blood Demon.)
Demons and monsters run rampant, and the Heavenly Dao lies in darkness. Demons have taken the place of gods and buddhas across the skies, while the netherworld has descended upon the human realm.
(Hey, hey, hey. So you're saying there are no more heavenly tribulations or thunder punishments, and no more karmic retribution from killing too much, right?)
The immortal sects scrape by like sparks after a phoenix's rebirth.
(Tsk. So the righteous powerhouses aren't going around wiping out demonic cultivators and farming merit anymore, is that it?)
So as long as I cultivate this Blood God Scripture, I won't run into any obstacles. I just need an endless supply of blood sacrifices, right?
“I don't see anything wrong with demons and monsters multiplying too quickly!”
The Blood God Scripture's Foundation Establishment method requires brutally slaughtering living beings and using their blood essence to draw a “blood pool.”
A vast store of life essence must be accumulated to provide the blood essence necessary to “forge a foundation with blood marrow.”
“Exterminate demons and monsters! Uphold the righteous tradition! This is the sacred duty of our human race!”
One day to gather qi, a hundred days to establish a foundation...
Where are these so-called bottlenecks? Can't I just smash through them with a surge of baleful blood qi?
“Isn't this a little too slow?”
“Cultivating immortality doesn't seem hard at all!”
To cultivate the Bloodshadow Divine Light, one must offer up the souls of ninety thousand living beings in a blood sacrifice and refine one's baleful blood qi into an intangible blood shadow. Every day, one must devour the blood essence of three living creatures to maintain the divine ability.
“If you have something to say, wait until my blood shadow sweeps past and turns you into a pool of blood for me to absorb. Then we can talk inside my boundless sea of blood!”
The Bloodshadow Demon Body requires peeling off one's own skin while still alive, then enduring nine years of demonic needles piercing the body. Even after suffering the agony of skinning and burning, one must still sit in seclusion for eighty-three years. Once the technique is performed, one's body becomes like a corpse, unable to speak or move.
In the end, one refines oneself into a blood shadow.
This world is just perfect for it.
The game's mechanics are average, the pacing is a bit slow overall, and the writing is somewhat lacking, but it's still a decent way to pass the time.
If you can't stand the way the world is, leveling up alone won't change it. The only way to change the world is to build an army, support yourself with the army, and then conquer the land.
