Chapter 2883 - 2882: Tian Sha’s Shock!
Chapter 2883: Chapter 2882: Tian Sha’s Shock!
At the moment, Lin Dong held the Yangxin Sword, like a ’Flying Immortal Sword’.
He flew towards Tian Sha and Blood Fool.
"Your Blood Clan has always improved yourselves by siphoning the blood of other races. You’ve always played the role of the predator. But I wonder, can you be treated as prey by other beings?"
Lin Dong was curious about this question. He had previously killed a Blood Clan powerhouse named Xue Chen, but at that time, he used ’Sword Two’ directly.
Back then, he couldn’t control the power of Sword Two.
Thus, that strike directly turned Xue Chen into ashes, leaving nothing behind.
Therefore, he never tried to absorb Xue Chen to strengthen himself.
"My Devouring Technique can devour human martial artists and demon beasts; I wonder if it can devour the Blood Clan?"
Lin Dong wanted to experiment. If he could devour both Tian Sha and Blood Fool, Lin Dong’s strength, if not significantly increased,
could at least be consolidated.
With this in mind, he hesitated no longer and set his sights on Blood Fool.
Currently, Blood Fool’s strength is weak, and Lin Dong evidently found it more convenient to deal with him than with Tian Sha.
Moreover, he could also test his control over ’Sword Two’.
Previously, his strength was only at the Second Layer of Heavenly Realm, so he couldn’t wield ’Sword Two’ effortlessly.
He could only use all his Inner Qi to execute that one sword strike. Though powerful, it couldn’t be controlled with ease.
So the destruction caused by it was beyond even his own control.
At this moment, Lin Dong stared at Blood Fool not far ahead.
Blood Fool, clad in red like fire, was surrounded by ominous dark Qi, resembling an Asura returning from hell. Yet now, his eyes no longer held the cruelty and coldness they used to.
Instead, they were filled with fear and dread.
Recalling the past, when Lin Dong wielded "Sword Two", his strength was still shallow, and he could barely unleash that astonishingly powerful strike with a full burst of his Inner Qi.
That one strike, although immensely powerful enough to change the color of mountains and rivers, was like a wild horse out of control. Once released, it was difficult to retrieve, and even he couldn’t precisely control its destructive power.
Often, under that single strike, both enemies and allies were affected, turning the surroundings and landscapes into nothingness, leaving only endless desolation and sorrow.
Previously, he could annihilate Blood Fool but couldn’t control it freely.
But now, facing Blood Fool, Lin Dong’s eyes no longer showed hesitation and struggle as before, but rather unprecedented determination and composure.
He took a deep breath, as if resonating with the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth, then slowly lifted the longsword in his hand. The sword tip lightly touched the ground, and a faint Sword Intent began to hover around him, exuding the majesty and power belonging to the Third Heaven of the Heavenly Realm.
"Swish~~~" Accompanied by a crisp sword sound, Lin Dong moved.
His form was like lightning, the Sword Light like a dragon, carrying an irresistible momentum straight towards Blood Fool.
This time, "Sword Two" was no longer a rampant hurricane but transformed into a precise Thunder Strike.
Wherever the sword tip passed, the air seemed to be split in two, leaving a clearly visible rift, pointing directly at Blood Fool’s vital point.
Blood Fool saw this, a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes, realizing that this time Lin Dong wielded Sword Two completely differently from before.
Now, he could precisely control the sword move, retracting and releasing the power at will.
He wanted to dodge, but it was too late. Lin Dong’s sword strike retained enough power to slaughter him but avoided unnecessary destruction. Just at the moment Blood Fool’s body was about to be torn apart, the Sword Momentum paused and then slowly dissipated, leaving only Blood Fool’s astonished and unwilling gaze as he slowly fell.
At the moment he fell, Lin Dong’s figure ghosted silently to Blood Fool’s front.
Under the moonlight, Lin Dong’s eyes were as cold as frost; his movements swift and resolute. One hand, like an Iron Clamp, precisely gripped Blood Fool’s hideous and unwilling head.
Blood Fool’s eyes widened in disbelief, his pupils reflecting Lin Dong’s extremely cold face and the last trace of residual starlight in the night sky.
"Devouring Technique, activate!"
Lin Dong whispered softly, although the voice was light, it contained an irresistible force.
As his voice fell, circles of faint black glow seeped from his palm, like ghosts in the night, slowly entwining over Blood Fool’s body.
This was Lin Dong’s unique secret technique, a forbidden method capable of devouring the life energy and cultivation level of beings.
Previously, he had only used it on human martial artists and demon beasts, never on the Blood Clan.
Especially not on a Heavenly Realm powerhouse of the Blood Clan!
Blood Fool’s body began to shiver as his life energy dissipated rapidly like leaves caught in a gale.
Lin Dong closed his eyes to focus, guiding this energy along the path of the ’Devouring Technique’ to slowly flow into his own body.
However, this time the devouring process was not as smooth as before.
As a member of the Blood Clan, although Blood Fool’s life energy was strong, because his Lifebound Essence Blood had already been largely consumed in the earlier battle, what he could provide Lin Dong was far less nourishing compared to a complete state Heavenly Realm Fourth Layer human martial artist.
Not even surpassing what a Four-Star Demon Emperor could offer.
A hint of regret flashed through Lin Dong’s mind, but he didn’t dwell on it, more thrilled by the exploration and confirmation of the unknown domain.
He distinctly felt that the peculiar energy from Blood Fool’s body, after being transformed by the ’Devouring Technique’, although not as overwhelming as expected, did indeed provide a slight enhancement to his strength, albeit minuscule, enough to prove his hypothesis.
He could devour members of the Blood Clan, using this as a means to elevate his cultivation level.
This scene fell completely into the eyes of Tian Sha at the side.
Seeing this, he felt extremely shocked.
As one of the three corpsified beings of the Blood Clan Young Master, the mind controlling Tian Sha’s body now was not even the original Tian Sha.
It was the will separated from the Blood Clan Young Master’s mind.
Moreover, as one of the three corpsified beings of the Blood Clan Young Master, he could also cultivate the Blood Clan Secret Method and grow by siphoning blood.
This is why, over the years, ’Tian Sha’s’ cultivation speed seemed like cheating.
Rapidly advancing from the lower ranks of the Five Elements Stele to higher ranks.
However, what he had seen before was the Blood Clan members siphoning human Heavenly Realm martial artists.
When had it actually reversed?
He was really having a hard time believing it.
"You can actually use the Devouring Technique to devour the power of the Blood Clan. What... what exactly is your bloodline?"
"I’ve also heard of this Cultivation Method called Devouring Technique, similar to our Blood Clan’s Devouring Method."
"But I know for sure that its flaw is that only those with higher bloodlines can devour those with lower bloodlines."
"Human martial artists can cultivate by devouring demon beasts, and can also devour some with lower bloodlines and lower talent than themselves. However, they can’t devour human martial artists with higher bloodline talent."
"Let alone devouring us, the Blood Clan. Our Blood Clan’s bloodline talent, that’s far exceeding you human martial artists..."
Tian Sha showed an incredulous expression, looking at Lin Dong, hardly daring to believe what he was seeing in front of him.
