Chapter 201: Leader of the Blood Monsters
Ignoring Yan Yunyu’s admiring gaze, Mu Lin shielded them with paper figure armor before taking action.
He dropped his magical defenses and physical restraints, absorbing the surrounding blood mist and light of the Bloody Moon.
"Buzz…"
As massive amounts of blood mist flooded his body, Mu Lin’s form mutated rapidly.
His human body first uncontrollably shifted into a half-human, half-dragon state.
Then, his already towering dragon-man physique began expanding further under the blood mist’s influence.
"Crack, crack…"
With bones elongating and flesh swelling, Mu Lin swiftly grew from a two-meter-tall dragon-man into a three-point-seven-meter monstrous creature.
His height kept increasing as more blood mist poured into him.
Three-point-seven, three-point-eight, three-point-nine, four-point-two…
Alongside this explosive growth, his body underwent other transformations.
While retaining a dragon-man silhouette, his frame became bulkier and more ferocious.
The ferocity showed most clearly on his body surface—where smooth scales once lay, sharp icy spikes now protruded wildly.
The row of spines along his back made him resemble a sword dragon.
Originally water-aligned, Mu Lin’s draconic attributes had shifted to thunder after absorbing massive lightning.
Though his power of thunder remained, its color changed from bright white to blood-red.
The flickering blood-red lightning radiated pure destructiveness.
These changes made Mu Lin appear more savage, but he accepted it—like trading a graceful eastern dragon’s nobility for a Godzilla-like giant beast’s raw might.
Yet the Bloody Moon’s mutations bred chaos.
Beyond these changes, grotesque additions sprouted across his body: swirling eyeballs, seven arms, eight legs, slimy tentacles, randomly sprouting mouths and hearts.
Mu Lin refused to tolerate these. Harnessing his blood-red lightning’s annihilating power, he burned away the excess limbs and organs.
"Crackle, crackle…"
"Boom!"
The violent electrotherapy worked. Though no longer humanoid, his form avoided true distortion under the lightning’s relentless strikes.
The Bloody Moon’s corruption wasn’t purely physical. As his body changed, overwhelming pollution invaded his sea of consciousness.
But Mu Lin’s spirit stood strong—guarded by the Heart Lamp of Will, City God status, and Trait of Transcendence, his soul remained pure.
This mental clarity let him reshape his flesh, preventing utter deformity.
Soul commanding flesh, Mu Lin’s untainted spirit kept absolute control over his mutating body, no matter how monstrous it became.
"Crack, crack…"
As time passed, Mu Lin’s body kept growing taller, soon reaching over seven meters.
This wasn’t just about size – he could feel his physique becoming tougher and more powerful.
In terms of strength, Mu Lin’s energy had now surpassed the Spirit Pool level and reached the Spirit Sea Realm.
Even Mu Lin couldn’t help muttering, "Forbidden power brings many dangers, but I must admit the strength gain is astonishing. Normally it’d take years to reach Spirit Sea even with the Radiance of Thunder Pool. Yet here I am after single night."
Only Mu Lin could achieve this.
Firstly, his solid foundation and six remaining transformation chances allowed absorbing massive blood mist without exploding into flesh blob.
Secondly, his spirit cultivation already matched Spirit Sea Realm, letting him control this transformed body.
"Pity Spirit Sea’s my limit. More blood mist could push me to Refining the Evil level, but then I’d lose control."
"Still, Spirit Sea suffices."
Having completed his transformation, Mu Lin stopped absorbing blood mist.
He then focused on his paper figure armor and commanded: "By the Leader’s authority, halt your growth!"
The Bloody Moon’s chaos affected everything – without intervention, his paper figures would become living monsters that’d digest Yan Yunyu and Ji Xue inside.
Fortunately, Mu Lin had prepared. His blood ran through paper figures’ veins, and flames from Heart Lamp of Will burned at their brows.
The dominion fire granted control. This command served as second safeguard.
The Bloody Moon’s whispers contained actual knowledge too. From them, Mu Lin learned monster rankings:
Blood Slaves (ordinary)
Blood Servants (energy sensing/drawing/awakening)
Blood Fiends (Spring Fountain)
Blood Monsters (Spirit Pool)
Leader of Blood Monsters (Spirit Sea)
Blood Generals (Refining the Evil)
Blood Nobles
Blood Rulers
Now at Spirit Sea level through blood mist, Mu Lin qualified as Leader of Blood Monsters. This granted immortality, minion creation, and command over lesser monsters.
Combining dominion fire with his new authority, Mu Lin forced paper figures to maintain form and spare those inside.
The awakened paper monsters reluctantly obeyed, keeping Yan Yunyu’s group safe.
Disguised as blood monster and hiding companions in paper armor, Mu Lin blended perfectly into Bloody Moon’s nightmare.
"GROWL…"
"HISSS…"
Cloud City became crimson hellscape filled with endless slaughter. Yet monsters sniffed Mu Lin’s group and moved on. Weaker ones even avoided them.
When Blood Generals approached, Mu Lin wisely retreated. Their ordinary monster scent didn’t attract pursuit.
While others suffered in hell, Mu Lin’s group could now wander carefully through Cloud City like backyard garden.
But survival alone didn’t satisfy Mu Lin. He asked Yan Yunyu: "We’re safe now. What next?"
"Should we chase Chu Hongxuan?"
Outside, Yuance, Yan Zhanpeng, and Chu Hongxuan’s allies trembled at these words.
