Chapter 1258: Chapter 1258 The White-Robed Man in Memory
The Bloodline Seal was placed by Lu Changsheng after he learned that Blackie’s blood might have an extraordinary origin, possibly related to the Nefarious Demon Region.
While strengthening Blackie’s bloodline, Lu Changsheng also set a seal within it, preventing Blackie from fully unleashing the power of his bloodline during normal use!
That way, unless someone personally fought with Blackie and felt the power of his bloodline, they wouldn’t be able to sense it from a distance.
For instance, during Xin Hongyi’s attack on Blackie in the Wilderness Realm, it was the close-range combat that allowed Xin to confirm Blackie’s bloodline power was related to what the Demon Monarch had mentioned.
But now in the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace, these concerns seemed unnecessary.
What’s more, it seemed that the Nefarious Demon Region had already discovered the issue with his bloodline.
Thinking about this, Blackie closed his eyes, and the surging dark demonic energy within him began to slowly gather toward his heart.
He let the ghosts tear at his body, shrieking in his ears, feasting on his flesh.
At this moment, at the location of Blackie’s heart, a faint golden light started to flicker intermittently.
A mysterious aura slowly wafted out, dispersing the surrounding putrid poison and the insects and snakes under the influence of this aura!
Bang!
Bang!
These were the sounds of a heartbeat, erupting like thunder from within Blackie’s body.
Blackie’s face was covered in streaks of bloodlines!
The wounds on his body, caused by the gnawing of ghosts, emitted wisps of white smoke at this moment, healing at an incredibly fast speed!
Suddenly, Blackie opened his mouth and let out a thunderous roar!
The sound waves rippled out, and a violent surge of blood qi gushed forth!
The surrounding ghosts let out cries at this moment and were blown away by the shock!
At this moment, Blackie felt his body was filled with inexhaustible strength; he closed his eyes again, and the torrential blood qi mixed with the black demonic qi began to search rapidly!
Streams of blood qi weaved through the ghosts surrounded by demonic qi.
Some had weaker auras, others relatively stronger.
In just a few breaths’ time.
Blackie abruptly opened his eyes and looked to the left.
There, large fluctuations of demonic qi were present!
Sensing this, Blackie charged directly towards the left!
Blood qi surged around him, enveloping his entire body, and in that blood qi, there was an aura that contained the Power of Law, with streaks of golden light faintly visible.
This caused the surrounding ghosts to dare not approach even slightly, forced to drift outside the range of the surging blood qi, staring fixedly at Blackie and howling.
But within their howls was a tinge of fear.
Soon, Blackie approached the area dense with demonic qi.
Before him, there drifted a soul exuding black demonic qi…
Around this soul, there were no other ghosts floating about; it was as if they did not dare to approach.
Even the putrid poison and the insects and snakes kept their distance!
Upon seeing this soul, Blackie’s own soul began to tremble violently, its essence naturally connecting with that of the strange soul.
Clearly, this was the last of the three souls.
Blackie took a deep breath; each time a soul fragment was absorbed, it was the most painful, and the memories and improvements it brought back were the most substantial.
He moved closer without hesitation and placed his hand on the soul.
In an instant, the soul invaded Blackie’s sea of consciousness and began to fuse with Blackie’s soul!
For a time, from beneath the River of Forgetfulness, came the agonized roars like that of a wild beast…
…
Three days passed.
On the opposite shore of the River of Forgetfulness, Tan Zongzhao, Shen Jie, and six others stood on the other side.
As for the other two, they were dragged into the River of Forgetfulness by ghosts, their souls and bodies utterly destroyed…
Shen Jie sneered, “Still waiting? It’s been so long already, I’m afraid even their bones have been corroded clean by the intense toxicity and stench within!”
Tan Zongzhao gave Shen Jie a cold glance and said, “Now I know why you can’t compete with Shen Sheng.”
Shen Jie roared, “Are you trying to pick a fight with me right now?”
“No need for that now,” Tan Zongzhao replied indifferently, “Lack of talent and brains to boot.”
“The opening of each trial requires everyone to pass the previous one,
unless those who have not passed die during the assessment!”
“And now that the fourth trial has yet to begin, what does that prove?”
The answer was clear.
Blackie was not dead!
But this was something they found hard to believe.
Among them, including Tan Zongzhao, none would dare guarantee their survival at the bottom of the River of Forgetfulness for the duration of an incense stick to burn.
It had already been three days, and Blackie was still not dead?
How was this possible?
And what exactly was he doing in this weird River of Forgetfulness?
Though anger was surging in Shen Jie’s heart, he no longer said anything, just snorted coldly and stood to the side, staring at the River of Forgetfulness.
…
During these three days,
Blackie had finally survived the soul fusion.
And the improvement this brought to Blackie was immense.
His physical realm had broken through the constraints of the half-step Divine God Realm directly to the early stage of the Divine Emperor Realm!
At the same time, his bloodline also underwent a vast enhancement, gaining a new bloodline ability, Bloodline Boiling!
It allowed for an instantaneous explosion of the concentrated might of his entire bloodline.
Of course, if one controlled the extent of Bloodline Boiling, it also could significantly strengthen one’s power for a sustained period. For example, being at the early-stage Monarch Realm, one could use Bloodline Boiling to wield at least the strength of the Intermediate Stage Emperor Realm.
However, that was not what Blackie was most concerned with right now.
It was the memory fragments emerging in his sea of consciousness that demanded Blackie’s utmost attention.
Looking at those segments of memory, Blackie’s expression slowly turned to shock.
One of the scenes was this:
In a large black hall, Mo Xinxin held a black box in her hands, and standing in front of her were two tombstones…
These two tombstones belonged to Blackie’s parents.
Mo Xinxin looked at the tombstones and said, “Mom and Dad, time is drawing close. I wonder how much longer I can hide my brother’s identity. Do you think, if he learns about his own identity, he will stand on their side?”
Then she let out a self-mocking laugh, “But I will follow your words. Once his bloodline fully awakens, I will give him the object within… this Holy Demon Condensed Pearl.”
Holy Demon Condensed Pearl?
Moving further back the timeline.
Another memory fragment.
It featured a man and a woman, also Blackie’s parents.
They seemed to be adventuring and exploring.
And just as they plunged into a secret realm and were chased by others,
suddenly a man in white appeared before them and slaughtered all those pursuing them.
Afterward, he placed an infant before them and said, “If you want to thank me for saving your lives, then raise him well. The jade pendant on his chest contains his identity.”
However, Blackie could not see the man in white’s face clearly…
