Then, he chuckled and said, “Kid, I was just curious about the strange things happening around you at first, but after spending so much time together, I’ll admit it’s not too bad.”Andrius, who was in a terrible mood because of what happened to Luna, could only force a smile at the compliment.“Well, there’s no time to waste, so I’ll get to the point.” Cedric explained, “Although I’ve lost my physical body, my soul remains intact. Reconstructing a body for me is much simpler than saving this girl.”Andrius said, “Please tell me, Senior Yule.”“There are three conditions. First, my soul is at the level of an Aureate Immortal, so an ordinary body won’t be able to handle it. I need an Aureate Immortal-level being.”That was easy. As long as he could kill the soul of an Aureate Immortal being, he would obtain an intact Aureate Immortal body for Cedric’s resurrection.“Second, I also need a Soul Renewal Fruit to awaken my soul in the new body.”Andrius understood that and nodded.“T
As long as Andrius could save Luna, he would go through hell and high waters for her. Now that helping Cedric reconstruct his body was a necessary step to save Luna, he naturally could not miss this chance.Andrius immediately asked, “Caelum, is there anything particular about this auction?”“Not really.” Caelum explained, “In the Immortal, Fiend, and Demonic Realms, auctions are conducted by bidding, and the highest bid wins. However, apart from using energy crystals to bid, some rare and sought-after treasures can also be traded. Of course, the Soul Renewal Fruit isn’t rare enough to merit that.”Andrius understood immediately that the auction was similar to those in the mortal realm. However, he did not have many energy crystals because he had not been in the Immortal Realm for long.“How about this?”Caelum could tell that Andrius was poor, so he immediately said, “Andrius, give me a few days. I’ll make the arrangements and call for you.”Andrius nodded. “Thank you.”Caelum
Andrius was both shocked and delighted. Then, he used that characteristic of his wolf blood to gradually absorb all the blood of the three Heavenly Fiend Phoenix elders.“Kid, you’re really lucky,” Cedric exclaimed when he saw the scene from inside the ring.Stunned, Andrius asked curiously, “What do you mean?”Cedric’s apparition appeared before Andrius.He looked at the scene with mixed feelings. “What you just performed is a manifestation of bloodline power.”It was Andrius’ first time hearing the term ‘bloodline power’. However, instead of interrupting, he listened quietly.“Generally speaking, only powerful fiends and divine beasts possess bloodline power. It’s inherited through their bloodline and difficult to bestow upon others. In the Immortal, Fiend, and Demonic Realms, only some top-tier beasts possess bloodline power, such as the Five-Clawed Auric Dragon and the Heavenly Fiend Phoenix… “Furthermore, they all have a significant trait—the more powerful the bloodline
“Well.”After that explanation, Cedric turned into a stream of light and returned to the ring, leaving a message in Andrius’ ears.“The Heavenly Fiend Phoenix’s blood is a rare essence, so absorb it quickly.”Andrius did not hesitate anymore. He immediately started to absorb the blood of the Heavenly Fiend Phoenix elders into his body, further purifying his wolf blood. The process took a long time, but the rewards were significant.After absorbing the blood, Andrius realized that his wolf blood had improved greatly. Whether it was his power strengthened by the wolf blood or the energy released when burned, they were far more formidable than before.Considering the three Heavenly Fiend Phoenix bodies had withered, Andrius opened their bodies and extracted their fiend cores. As soon as he did, he felt the abundant life force inside. It was the essence of the Heavenly Fiend Phoenix’s life that should not be underestimated.Once Andrius had refined all three fiend cores, his stre
“Furthermore, the gravity there might tear those with overly fragile bodies to shreds. In there, relying on one’s own power to fly is nearly impossible. Even jumping is extremely difficult.”That did sound unusual, and Andrius listened with interest.“On top of that, there’s a moat surrounding Blackwater City called Blackwater River. The water in this river is rapid, and it looks like a vast black river. It is the namesake of Blackwater City.“The river is also quite peculiar as nothing from the outside world can float on it. Only special boats from Blackwater City can traverse the river safely.”That characteristic of the river was similar to the underworld.Then, they began a long flight. Despite the speedy immortal artifact vessel that Caelum had prepared for Andrius, it took them a long time to get to the extreme north.“Look!”Mark pointed at a black dot on the horizon. “That’s Blackwater City. Blackwater River doesn’t reflect light, so it looks like a black splotch.”Not
Fortunately, the pressure the two-headed turtle released was only at the level of a Fiend King, equivalent to a human Primal Immortal.Even so, the turtle’s ability to move freely in the river allowed it to attack from different directions, leaving the experts helpless.“This beast… If we were on land, I could pierce three hundred holes in it in one breath.”“It’s just showing off because it’s in the Blackwater River…”“Damn it…”While frustration filled the experts on the boat, another wave hit them. The girl who spoke to Andrius earlier lost her footing and was swept overboard, about to fall into the river.“It’s over. No one would dare to enter Blackwater River, let alone with the two-headed turtle lurking inside. She sure is unlucky.”The experts shook their heads when they saw the scene.It was not that they did not want to save her, but they could not. They could barely protect themselves, so how could they save others?After all, the girl had already flown out of the
The collision caused many to suffer a backlash, and they all coughed up a mouthful of blood.The remaining people gritted their teeth and held on, but they had turned pale, and their breaths were unsteady. It was clear the blood inside their bodies was surging terribly, and it could not go on like that!Seeing that, Andrius gritted his teeth and jumped into the river with the Linebreaker in his hand.“Gasp! Does that kid have a death wish!”“Jumping in there with a physical body is no different than courting death.”“Alas, I had some hope from him, but he’s seeking his own death...”“It’s over. We’re doomed…”Many people shook their heads after seeing Andrius’ move. None of them had confidence in him.Sure enough, the second Andrius entered, he felt pressure from all directions. It was the mysterious power of Blackwater City trying to suppress him, but he did not give in.His physical body was so strong that even the Divine Realm Whirlwind Panther had submitted to him. Further
Whoosh!As soon as that thought popped up in Andrius’ mind, he suddenly realized that at some point, the water around him had formed a powerful whirlpool.That was the two-headed turtle’s true goal!In a flash, Andrius tried to escape. Once caught in the whirlpool, he would be dragged to unknown depths where the suppressive force was terrifyingly strong.However, it was too late. The whirlpool engulfed Andrius, pulling him in.“That’s…”“It’s over!”“How can this be?”“Alas…”The people on the boat sighed. However, before they could lament, the whirlpool headed toward the boat.Everyone was terrified.“Quick! Channel your immortal essence and give it your all.”“We must hold on, or we’re doomed.”“Hold on!”At that moment, everyone on the boat unleashed their full power. Holding back now could mean their death!The next second, the whirlpool crashed into the boat. The boat spun and almost capsized but miraculously stabilized and did not get sucked in.It turned out that
