Start from the God of Death and break through the world.

Chapter 1074 Secret Blood Crystal
After hearing the notification from the End Space, Lu Li quickly returned to his room and eagerly opened the settlement interface.

[No missions have been assigned to the Pioneers in this World Conquest; therefore, only a comprehensive score will be calculated and rewards distributed.]

[Since other dimensions surrendered before the battle even began in this round of the sub-world war, the Pioneers did not actually participate in the war; therefore, no Pioneer Mark experience reward will be given.]

[In view of the Pioneers' prestige in securing nine eighth-tier worlds for the End Space, the Pioneers are hereby granted the following rewards in accordance with the rules:]

1. Pioneer Medal of the Great Dao
2. A crystallization of heritage. Complete*100
3. Secret Blood Crystal. Small*1
4. Origin of the aperture. Chaos (stolen)

Lu Li glanced through his rewards with a strange expression, especially when he saw the "End Space" label in the last reward, which gave him a rather boastful feeling.

So you were just begging for favors from Origin Space before?

As for the amount of the reward, Lu Li was quite satisfied, since these world-contesting wars required eighth-tier worlds, not ninth-tier worlds.

The inheritance crystals he obtained after breaking through the Dragon Ball world only amounted to one hundred in their entirety. The End Space had been very generous to him, mostly because he won without a fight and the End Space itself hadn't spent any resources, which is why it was so lavish.

Pioneer Medals of the Great Dao level can be exchanged for items of the same level in the Pioneer Shop. Lu Li currently has two, and he can use them later.

The only reward he didn't quite understand was the Blood Crystal, something he had never seen before, and it even had the word "small" after it. He wondered if it was some kind of new spatial currency.
With a sense of doubt, after settling the rewards, Lu Li took out the Secret Blood Crystal from his storage space.

This is a dark red stone. It doesn't look particularly special on the surface. If you threw it on the roadside, probably no one would even look at it.

[Secret Blood Crystal. Small]

Origin: World No. 81

Quality: Chaos

Item Type: Special Bloodline

Usage Requirements: Requires possession of divine bloodline or extremely high soul and mental resistance.

How to use: Absorb

Details: A mysterious ancient bloodline that can only be perfectly controlled by those born with it. Using this item later in life will grant one a divine secret bloodline with limited growth potential, and carries a high risk of going out of control.

After acquiring this bloodline, the explorer will generally experience a significant boost to all attributes (except Charisma), while Charisma will decrease adaptively. Various buffs will also be granted, but the specifics will vary from person to person (the higher the base attributes, the smaller the increase in all attributes).
Rating: 6000+ (3500~6000)

Evaluation: Perhaps it has other uses.

Lu Li stared at the prop in deep thought. His first reaction was to curse the End Space for being a rip-off, because he felt that this broken stone was a real rip-off.

As a bloodline at the peak of the Chaos level, its value should be very high, but in fact, Lu Li does not lack any bloodlines now. His original Chaos bloodline can gradually become stronger by absorbing various different bloodlines.

This bloodline, known as the Secret Blood of God, seems to be very risky. Obtaining the bloodline with stones results in a flawed version with limited growth potential. In addition, there is the risk of mental pollution and loss of control. It doesn't seem worth the full score of Chaos level.

If he really wanted to improve his bloodline, Lu Li thought that it might be more cost-effective to scavenge some ordinary Chaos-level bloodlines from the market and integrate them into his Chaos Spirit Seed for fusion and absorption.

Therefore, Lu Li felt that if the End Space was going to give him a bloodline reward, why not give him more ordinary Chaos Bloodlines?

This bloodline seems to have a high score, but it doesn't seem to be of much use to him.

Oh, if he's willing to risk absorbing the Chaos Seed, he should still have significant benefits in certain areas, since it's marked that it can reduce his charm value, which is equivalent to increasing the output of the Mask of Evil.

As for attribute benefits, he hasn't experienced them yet, so he doesn't know how much they can increase.

After pondering for a while, Lu Li noticed the evaluation label on the End Space: 'Perhaps it has other uses.'

Other uses?
Are you going to eat it?

Lu Li sat on the sofa, playing with the stone in his hand. He didn't know what to do with it, and since there was no one else around, he picked up the stone and licked it.

Hmm... there wasn't anything special about it. If he had to say, he felt there was a slight bloody smell, but it wasn't very noticeable. At the same time, he didn't feel any signs that his body was getting stronger.

So Lu Li brought the stone to his nose again and sniffed it hard, but he could only smell a little bit of blood and it did not enhance his senses.

"How exactly are we supposed to use this stone...? If it has any other uses, at least give us an instruction manual."

Lu Li muttered, "This is a bloodline item at the peak of the Chaos level. If it is used directly, it will eventually become nourishment for the primordial Chaos bloodline. Lu Li felt that it was too much of a loss to just use it as nourishment. If it were to be sold, it might not fetch a good price."

For the same reason, everyone's at the ninth rank; who doesn't have a main bloodline by now?

Furthermore, this item is listed with a whole bunch of side effects and it says that there is a limit to its growth. No normal person would want to change their bloodline to this after seeing all that. Besides, most people are somewhat concerned about the loss of charm.

Lu Li paced around the room, studying how to use the stone. He used his ninth-level martial arts eye to peer inside the stone, trying to understand the origin of this bloodline.

To Lu Li's surprise, he had spent thousands of years studying the origins of bloodlines in the Dragon Ball world and thought he understood the mysteries of many bloodlines in the world, but he couldn't see through the power of bloodlines contained in this stone at all.

If you delve deeper into the feeling, you'll feel as if you're staring into an abyss, and when you suddenly come to your senses, you'll feel a chill down your spine.

After carefully sensing it for a while, Lu Li suddenly felt that the stone felt somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't quite remember where.

Unable to see through it, Lu Li could only study it through practice. He simply tried soaking it in water first, putting the stone in a teacup and pouring boiling water over it, wondering if the space was telling him that this thing could be used to make tea.

He soaked in the water for a long time, but it remained clear. The blood crystals showed no signs of spreading or melting. He took a sip, but the water had no taste, not even the slight bloody taste one gets from licking a stone.

"That's really strange. Since there were no hints and it was said to have other uses, shouldn't the usage be easy to figure out?"

Lu Li muttered to himself, then, with a sense of resignation, he beckoned to Ah Huo, "Ah Huo, come here and breathe fire on me."

"Meow?" Ah Huo looked confused, not knowing what Lu Li wanted to do.

"Spray a little smaller, control the area, spray towards the stone in my hand, don't burn the house and furniture down."

Lu Li said, pondering the martial arts and fantasy novels he had read, that usually, strange and divine objects were either soaked in water or burned with fire. This thing was at the Chaos level, and he felt that Ah Huo should not be able to burn the stone directly.

When Ah Huo saw Lu Li give the order, although he was confused, he still opened his mouth and breathed fire. A small clump of flames surged out. Although the range was small, the temperature was extremely high and it contained a remarkable flame law.

Lu Li himself is not afraid of being burned because he and Ah Huo share the talent of fire immunity, so when his hands are sprayed together, he will only feel a little warm.

He had only casually let Ah Huo try it out, but to his surprise, the stone started to smoke when Ah Huo burned it.

The smoke that was rising was a dark red color, which looked ominous. In short, Lu Li instinctively felt a bit repulsed by this unique color.

But changes in things are a good thing. He quickly stopped Ah Huo to prevent the smoke from being caused by something burning. Then he leaned closer to the smoke and took a light inhale.

Um! ?

Lu Li took a bite, and his eyes widened. He felt a force rushing into his brain, making him feel lightheaded and dizzy, with the power surging through his body like a roaring river.

The martial arts manual activated spontaneously, causing Lu Li's blood and energy to surge, making him feel invigorated.

"That's incredibly strong!?"

After regaining his senses, Lu Li looked at the wisp of smoke in front of him in astonishment. He felt that he might have stumbled upon the true use of this thing by accident, so he quickly took another deep breath.

Now all the smoke entered his lungs, and through some kind of conversion mechanism, a large amount of energy was generated in his body, making his limbs and bones stronger.

After taking just one big bite, Lu Li felt that his attribute bottleneck was loosening, which made his eyes widen in surprise.

"Holy crap, this is amazing!"

Lu Li was going to retract his previous assessment of the End Space as a rip-off. Although he didn't know if his method of using it was correct, it seemed that as long as he burned the Secret Blood Crystal, he could extract the dark red smoke from it. After that smoke was transformed in his body, it could bring him tremendous power.

This power wasn't an enhancement of his bloodline, because Lu Li felt that the dark red smoke wasn't following his own Chaos Spirit Seed mechanism, nor was it colliding and fusing with the primordial Chaos bloodline. Instead, it was combining with a deeper level of power within him, thus unleashing primal power that strengthened his body and soul.

Lu Li finally realized where that familiar feeling he had been coming from. It wasn't that he had a bad memory; it was mainly because his brain was mostly used to remember things related to martial arts and various mysterious techniques.

In some ways, Lu Li would selectively put aside his martial arts aspirations to keep them pure and free from distractions.

But now, feeling this power surging within him, he couldn't help but recall something: in the One-Punch Man world, he and Valkyrie devoured each other's power, and then gained an explosive boost during the battle.

However, the experience back then was far superior to that of this stone. As a bloodline artifact, this stone seemed to contain a substance similar to the origin of bloodlines. Absorbing it would bring not just a temporary burst of power, but a long-term improvement.

Lu Li estimated the weight of the stone in his hand. He felt that if he absorbed it in the same way he had just done, he might be able to increase his overall attributes by three or four points.

This method of use is definitely better than using the item directly in the space. According to the description, Lu Li estimated his own rank and attributes. Using this item directly would be good enough if it could give him a +2 to all his attributes. Moreover, there are no known hidden dangers after mixing it with the Primordial Chaos Bloodline.

However, it seems that there is no risk in him absorbing the dark red smoke. At least he did not feel any mental pollution, and his attributes can be increased even more.

In addition, Lu Li said that when he inhaled this smoke, he felt a kind of pleasure from the bottom of his soul. This feeling was hard to describe. It seemed that the demon god inside him was also quite high, which made him high as well.

Lu Li suppressed the urge to take another puff, reminding himself that the inhalation rate was not good. He then planned to ask Chu Chu to see if she could process the stone for him when he went to the shopping street later, making it more portable and easier to inhale.

After putting the stones away, Lu Li went to the Pioneer Shop to see if there were any good items.

Welcome to the Pioneer Shop! This item will be refreshed in 28 days. Please purchase it as soon as possible if you are interested.

Lu Li scrolled through the store list and found that most of the items that appeared this time were either at the Chaos level with full ratings or at the initial stage of the Great Dao level.

Although it's a Chaos-level item with a perfect rating, most of the equipment and items are worth no more than two Holy Spirit-level Pioneer Medals.

It should be noted that because Lu Li's improvement in the Dragon Ball world was too great, he never actually received the medal used to exchange for Chaos-level items in the Pioneer Shop. The Holy Spirit-level Pioneer Medal was originally a reward for clearing through the late or peak stages of the eighth-tier native world.

Lu Li directly broke through the ninth-tier world, and because of the huge difference in basic strength, he obtained the Great Dao-level Pioneer Medal. In essence, this is also an excessive reward, similar to the rewards for this multi-world competition.

Lu Li also knew that such good things didn't happen often. Normally, the Pioneer Medal of the Great Dao level could only be obtained by breaking through the lower-middle range of the ninth tier in a world, and it was not a reward that the Dragon Ball level 81 world could give.

Therefore, he cherished this opportunity to exchange two medals for rewards, and soon he selected two items of the Great Dao level.
