What do you mean it prevents you from something?
At somepoint you buy skill tree points using Corrupted Blood. (up to 20, which is max)
You can also buy Skill Tree Branches (two last ones) using Corrupted Blood.
Anything else require you using Soul Cinders, like weapons, medallions, first skill tree branches and skill tree points etc.

After defeating the final boss the skill tree points exchange turned from Soul Cinders to Corrupted Blood. I cannot buy skill points with Soul Ciders anymore, which i feel is punishing. Am i missing something? Also, I'm seeing lots of people with 1000+ hp while i can't get more than 200 or something :( Any tips?

So you reached quite high level. You can get around 250 Corrupted blood per run, choose corrupted blood (100) from Lhamo (when you will have all Awakening runes you can pick 200 Soul Cinders or 100 Blood). It will speed up collecting the red currency.

The last Skill Tree points use different currency, but are not too princy. You can have only 20 of them (and I think you have around 12-14 from Soul Cinders).

About the health, it's pre "Second Act" update thing. We used to have 1000 HP at start and around 1300 with skill tree perks. Now 200 is starting health and around 280 with skill tree perks. So you just watch at old videos/screenshots, before the game got huge balancing changes.

Temporary you can use Awakening Runes that increase enemy health/damage as they doesn't work, if you want to cheat a bit and speed up getting the red currency -- of course, you don't have to. Just a little trick till they fix the bug. Keep in mind that Corrupted Blood is permanent currency, and you can not lose it like Soul Cinders.

Thank you for the amazing tips, appreciate it. Sadly I feel this game needs more community!

Join discord :P (https://discord.com/invite/princeofpersia)
tho, it's still early access

A complete rework of how the skill system flow/progression will be out in the next update, reducing completely the importance of cinder/glimmers and corrupted blood for the skills.
