With that, Andrius raised his spear again, letting out a roar.“Tyrant’s Ascendance!”At his shout, the supreme-grade immortal artifact seemed to sense its master’s plight and let out a hum, shining even brighter.The next second, the glow formed into a dragon, rampaging across the battlefield and blocking many attacks for Andrius.Thanks to Andrius’ enhanced strength, he could fight evenly with the Sentinels.For a while, the battle was at a stalemate.However, after several rounds, the Sentinels’ speed of attacks began to show signs of weakening. The immortal essence in their bodies was finally running low.Their speed also decreased drastically, and the might of their attacks was lowered!On the other hand, despite Andrius using even more energy, his body continuously absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy due to his immortal blood.The pure immortal essence scattered on the battlefield from the explosions was absorbed by him, and his immortal blood burned continually.
This blood was crimson and exuded a scent that even experts like the Etherium Immortal Lord could not dispel. It was initially thought to be an extremely powerful liquid. Unfortunately, countless years of research yielded no significant results.In the end, the people of the Immortal Realm could only admit they were wrong.It was just ordinary blood.“Let’s start!”The Etherium Immortal Lord ordered and floated beside Andrius.Then, he sliced Andrius’ wrist with his hand.Swoosh...The next second, the immortal blood in Andrius’ body gushed out like a flood.The Etherium Immortal Lord immediately caught it, not missing a single drop. At the same time, he injected beast blood into Andrius’ body.Time slowly passed.The Immortal blood in Andrius’ body continuously flowed out and was replaced by beast blood. The inhumane torture made the gravely injured Andrius wake up and faint repeatedly.This continued for an unknown amount of time.“Done! There’s no more immortal blood l
Fortunately, the coffin was not a powerful artifact and just an ordinary one. Andrius opened the lid and saw the light of day.“Hm?”Just as Andrius poked his head out, a mumble sounded from the side.He turned to look and saw an old man.No, it was the soul of an old man, staring intently at him.“Who are you? Where is this?”Andrius rubbed his eyes, confirming that he was not hallucinating before he asked.“Tsk, tsk, tsk...”The old man could not help but click his tongue and said arrogantly, “Listen up, boy. I’m Cedric Yule, the Skyspring Sage. In life, I was a top-tier late Aureate Immortal. However...”Cedric’s voice suddenly dimmed. “I was ambushed by two Immortal Realm kings while searching for secret treasures in the Upper Realm, resulting in my death. Now, only the remnant of my soul remains to drift in the mortal world. For countless years, I’ve been absorbing spiritual energy in Wraith Valley to ensure my soul survives, clinging to life.”A soul remnant of an Aurea
“Hehehe...”Cedric cackled and moved away.“Thank you!”Andrius called after Cedric’s figure. However, the latter ignored him and left without a response.Then, Andrius tried various means to regain his strength but failed.He also tried to examine the beast's blood within him, only to no avail.Thus, he only had one option left— wait!He closed his eyes and began to rest.The temperature slowly dropped as the sun set, and the moon slowly rose, tinged with a hue of red.“Hm?”Andrius glanced at the moon and suddenly felt a sudden heat. His eyes turned bloodshot as if he were about to transform into a beast.The next second, Andrius felt the beast blood in his body begin to boil like water. At the same time, the unprecedented heat spread through his veins to every inch of his skin.Expand, contract, expand, contract...Each cycle was a massive strain on his body. However, with his cultivation gone, he could not stop it at all.Andrius’ skin turned blood-red to the naked ey
It was strange!As soon as the insects entered Andrius’ body, they immediately went to his meridian.They still carried the divine light from when Andrius refined them with immortal blood. So, bit by bit, they surprisingly repaired the broken meridians.Furthermore, the beast blood had no effect on them at all!This made Andrius delighted and puzzled.Why?Before he could think about it, his meridians finished healing, and he realized something strange—the beast blood in his body gradually stabilized.It was not as violent or destructive as before and calmed down as if made for Andrius’ body.Andrius did not know whether to be worried or happy.Time passed slowly.The solitary moon in the sky was somber as Andrius gradually adapted to the infusion of beast blood and slowly regained some strength.However, it was then something even stranger happened.Sensing something unknown in his body, he checked internally and discovered that a bone was slowly forming.Based on its app
It made Cedric realize that Andrius was not as simple as he seemed. There might be more secrets hidden inside him.“Sure!”Andrius had no reason to refuse, and the two reached an agreement.Then, Andrius continued to cultivate in Wraith Valley.With the support of the beast blood, his cultivation speed was even more terrifying than when he had immortal blood.Furthermore, Wraith Valley contained many powerful beings. While the soul energy had been absorbed by Cedric and their decayed bodies had returned to the earth, it resulted in the spiritual energy there being extremely rich.Although it contained some death energy, it was no threat to Andrius, who already had demonic energy and the fierce beast blood.Under the guidance of Cedric, an Aureate Immortal, Andrius absorbed the essence. In addition to the beast blood, his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.In just a few months, he had recovered to the strength of a Heavenly Immortal.Then, he advanced quickly and reached
Knowing that they were powerless against Andrius, the two immediately confessed.“D-Don’t kill us...”“After the Immortal Lord replaced your immortal blood, the girl had no more value and was thrown into the beasts’ den.”Faced with the threat of death, they spoke without hesitation.“The beasts’ den?”Andrius frowned and shouted, “What kind of place is that? Where is it? Speak!”“It’s... It’s a thousand miles east of Wraith Valley. The Immortal Lord specially designed that place to torture people. There are many powerful beasts inside. Anyone thrown in will definitely be attacked, killed, or devoured by the beasts.”The person glanced at Andrius fearfully and did not dare to continue.So, that was the beasts’ den!In an instant, Andrius became furious, his eyes emitting a cold and fierce glint that seemed to make the entire world roar.“You mean Aria is already dead?”Andrius was like an enraged tiger, staring intently at the Sentinel and making the latter’s scalp tingle.
When the beast saw a human such as Andrius dare to rush into their den, they thought he was fresh meat and charged at him fiercely, intending to feast.These beasts were enormous and powerful.Andrius could sense that several of them were at the late Heavenly Immortal stage, with some also at the early Arcane Immortal stage.“Bring it on!”Andrius snorted coldly. He had no fear and began to sweep them away with his Linebreaker Overlord.A blood-colored lion pounced, but the Linebreaker Overlord struck it down.The overwhelming power smashed the lion’s head into pieces, spraying blood everywhere.In an instant, the beasts’ den was filled with the stench of blood.The appearance of the blood also triggered the beasts’ innate ferocity, making them attack Andrius even more violently.“Roar!”A beast that looked like an elephant but was several times larger swung its mighty trunk, which fell at Andrius with the speed of a meteor.“Hiss—”A giant python flicked its tongue, openin
