The Legendary Ruler

Henry walked closer to the Bloodthirsty Saint Herb. He felt his blood crazily circulating in his body as if it wanted to go towards the plant in front of him.

"According to the books inside the Royal Library, this herb feeds on blood"- Henry said, remembering the information pertaining to this herb.

"There are 9 Grades of herbs in this world: Those ranging from Grade-1 to Grade-3 are normally used by cultivators in the Awakening Realm and the Qi Condensation Realm."

"Grade-4 to Grade-6 could be used by those in the Fundamental Realm and the Lumen Realm."

"The following grades are considered the perfect resources to cultivators in the Saint Realm and the legendary Ascending Immortal Realm"- Henry mumbled, recalling the knowledge acquired from books pertaining to medicinal and poisonous plants.

"The Bloodthirsty Saint Herb is considered a peak Grade-6...if this is used to concoct the Saint Breaching Pill, I can easily enter the Saint Realm"

Henry waved his hands and a beautiful jade box appeared in his hands.

"Storage Rings sure are convenient"- Henry said as he looked at the common silver ring in his index finger.

He acquired this item two years ago in an auction house. He paid millions of gold coins for it, however, it was worth.

Storage Rings could only be made by High-Level Artificers, so they were really expensive. It could storage anything, except living beings. The rings had different sizes, the one in Henry's finger had 27 cubic meters.

Henry got on his knees and carefully removed the Bloodthirsty Saint Herb from the ground, storing it inside the jade box. When the herb was stored away, Henry's blood finally subsided.

"This trip sure was worth. Although I lost the essence of that beast, I still profited from it"- Henry said as he stored the jade box inside his ring.

Henry came to this place in search of the essence of powerful beasts. A few years ago, he discovered that the Heaven Swallowing Sword had the ability to absorb the energy from living beings and transfer it to him. This skill was the true reason for his fast cultivation speed.

In these eight years, Henry hunted thousands of beasts and cultivated every possible second. He knew that with the help of this weapon, he could reach the pinnacle of cultivation.

"I still have time"

Henry looked at the forest under the cliff, with a cold smile. He didn't have any important business to do in the palace.

"I will just hunt"

------x-----

Two days after, under a high waterfall located at a vast crystalline river.

Henry was on top of the water, fighting against a humongous blue scaled serpent. He skidded on the water as he attacked the beast swiftly and precisely, cutting its body numerous times.

The water was painted in green by the serpent's blood. However, Henry continued to attack like a mad man, his sword flashed tens of times in a single second, drawing more and more blood from the beast.

The Heaven Swallowing Sword hummed in delight each time a new cut appeared in the serpent's body, like a kid with a new toy.

The serpent looked furiously at the rapid purple c.o.c.kroach in front of it, wanting to strangle and swallow it whole.

"Heaven Judgement"- The purple-haired teen yelled as his sword glowed with intense purple light.

When the weapon collided against the beast. It penetrated and sliced through its scales like butter. Following that strike, another one flashed, beheading the beast in an instant.

"Swallow"- Henry immediately commanded.

Suddenly, all the green blood in the area flew towards Henry, like a wild tornado. Henry absorbed this Qi and channeled it to his Sea Qi, making its size increase rapidly.

"I have finally reached the Seventh stage of the Fundamental Realm"- Henry smiled in satisfaction.

After two months he had finally broken through another sub-stage. To other cultivators, this kind progress would have taken them tens of years, but to Henry, it only took two months of hard work. This was a crazy cultivation speed.

"Its time to get back"- Henry said as he planned his trip back.

*Ahhhhhh*

All of sudden, a sharp cry resonated through the forest, interrupting Henry's plans.
