Chapter 1914: Chapter 1914: Bearing the Bloodline, Kindred Spirits
The battle ended.
The tribulation clouds dispersed, yet the aura of tribulation lingered in this blood-colored space, refusing to fade.
The previously blood-red fog had dissipated under the continuous rumble of the lightning tribulation.
The Blood-colored Land was devastated, covered in cracks. The once smooth ground was now marred with depressions and protruding stones, like hideous scars crisscrossing the surface.
Blackie’s gaze swept downward, where bones were deeply embedded like spikes into the earth’s fissures.
Then, his gaze fell upon the three figures of Su Ming in the distance, a hundred miles away.
Sensing that emotionless gaze, Su Ming and his companions felt as though their blood vessels halted for an instant, their hearts gripped by a hand wrapped in black demonic qi.
"Do you still want to fight me?" Blackie stood naked, black demonic qi still coiling around his body. The recent battle and tribulation seemed to have no impact on him; instead, he appeared even more powerful.
No one would dare fight you now!
After what we just witnessed, several lives wouldn’t be enough against you!
Su Ming Zhuoyan Lu Jingchuan hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "The inheritance is solely yours, sir. We naturally wouldn’t have the audacity to fight over it with you."
Between life and dignity.
The three wisely chose life, speaking words that contradicted their hearts.
Without life, what use is that?
Dignity is something to be enjoyed while living.
Blackie’s battle intent gradually faded, the swirling black demonic qi receding like a tide. He pulled out a set of black clothes from the interspatial ring and casually put them on.
For those without battle intent, Blackie had no interest; fighting them wouldn’t be enjoyable.
Seeing Blackie withdraw his gaze, Su Ming and his companions breathed a sigh of relief before retracing their steps.
Since the inheritance was no longer related to them, staying here was pointless. Besides, what if that brute suddenly went berserk and hit them?
Better to hurry elsewhere in hopes of picking up some scraps.
When the three left, Blackie retracted his gaze.
The army of bones had fallen in the recent battle, leaving only piles of corpses.
The devastated land bore no signs or paths, making it impossible to distinguish direction.
Blackie furrowed his brow slightly, his gaze suddenly shifting to the site where the Corpse Bone Giant had shattered.
The other parts of the Corpse Bone Giant had already turned into scattered fragments of various shapes, except for the ribcage engraved with the Six-Pointed Star Blood Pattern, which remained intact!
This was the only clue.
Moreover... there was a trace of the Holy Demon Bloodline within it.
Logically, the Holy Demon Bloodline should not have fallen into the Chaos Realm... especially in the Core Palace of the Chaos Divine Dynasty from a million years ago.
Blackie’s body gradually descended, approaching the ribcage.
The previously dimmed Six-Pointed Star Blood Pattern started to emit strands of blood qi as Blackie approached, seemingly resonating with his Holy Demon Bloodline.
Blackie extended his hand, gently touching the Six-Pointed Star Blood Pattern.
In just an instant.
He wasn’t given any chance to react.
The Six-Pointed Star Blood Pattern extended from the ribcage, transforming into a six-pointed star cage that trapped Blackie within and then pulled him into the ribcage, disappearing from sight.
When light reappeared before Blackie’s eyes, it was evident that the space had changed.
The ruined blood-red land and sky were gone.
They were replaced by a vast black hall.
In front, there stood a towering statue reaching the ceiling, draped in robes, its body robust, face stern, eyes downcast, as if surveying the world.
Even without divine radiance, the statue exuded an overpowering, indifferent aura, dominating the world.
It was no different from when Blackie embodied the Demon God’s Descent.
Beneath the statue, there was a throne entwined with chains.
On the throne, a handsome man, resting his cheek on his hand, lazily watched Blackie.
Blackie’s brow furrowed slightly, his blood beginning to boil!
He hadn’t even noticed this man before?
Perhaps sensing Blackie’s tension, the handsome man waved his hand, smiling faintly, "Relax, you and I share the same lineage. I won’t harm you."
Sharing the same lineage.
This was quite clear.
Blackie somewhat relaxed and asked, "You’re also from the Demon Race?"
"Of course," the handsome man smiled, "and I suppose you’re wondering why I’m here, why someone from the Demon Race would be in the Chaos Divine Dynasty?"
Blackie shook his head, "Not very interested."
The handsome man was momentarily taken aback.
Then Blackie grinned at the handsome man, raised his fist, and said, "I’m interested in your strength."
After a moment of surprise, the handsome man slowly lowered his hand from his chin, sitting up and staring at Blackie, only to burst into hearty laughter after a while.
"Just as expected of someone with the Holy Demon Bloodline! That fighting spirit is truly ingrained."
"I don’t have much time, so let’s skip the fight." The handsome man shook his head, then rose, walked next to Blackie, and placed a hand on Blackie’s shoulder, nodded after a moment’s sensing.
"It seems you’ve well awakened the Holy Demon Bloodline’s ability, and even cultivated some things I’ve never heard of... things even I cannot probe."
The restriction set by Lu Changsheng certainly couldn’t be probed.
The handsome man didn’t press for answers, simply smiling gently, "You’re quite fortunate, but there are two points you still haven’t reached the strength the Holy Demon Bloodline should have."
Two points?
Blackie was quite interested in enhancing his power, so he asked, "What are they?"
"Demon Embryo and Blood Bone."
Seeing Blackie’s confusion, the man chuckled softly, "The Demon Embryo is akin to the heart of the Holy Demon Bloodline, and the Blood Bone... can only be nurtured by the Holy Demon Bloodline. These two are necessary for body cultivators, but unfortunately, the methods to cultivate them are rare."
"However, you’ve passed the trial, so you deserve a reward."
He finished speaking.
The man gestured.
The scene around them changed once more.
The two returned to the sky above the bone-laden blood-colored land.
"Nourish bone with battle, nine fragments for nine rebirths. The Heart Demon unyielding, the Demon Embryo shall form."
With a low shout from the man.
Instantaneously, all fragmented bones on the battlefield liquefied into a blood torrent, surging towards Blackie!
Blackie instinctively tried to resist, but that liquid blood had already enveloped his body, penetrating into him through every pore!
An immense agony!
The veins on Blackie’s neck bulged instantly! His eyes widened, his head lifted skyward!
It felt like his bones were being shattered once again, then those liquid bones fused with his fragments, reassembling them!
Bones renewed!
Meanwhile, the Six-Pointed Star Blood Pattern appeared in Blackie’s Dantian.
It was the man channeling his demonic qi and Holy Demon Bloodline into Blackie’s Dantian, but his form slowly turned into a shadow, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to vanish at any moment.
"Bearing the Holy Demon Bloodline... the vengeance against the Immortal Realm shall be entrusted to you."
