Chapter 26: Heartless As Always, A New Way Of Getting Rich.
The night was starry, but the moon was dull. Under the faint moonlight, the entire mountain range was cold and creepy.
*Bang!*
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
From the mountains, numerous sounds of explosions could be heard.
Several bodies left strewn across the ground. Pools of blood formed on the ground and the eyes of the corpses bulged terrified. The last thing they saw in this world was the face of the bloodthirsty blue-eyed youth.
The sounds of explosions rang and the ground shook.
There were numerous corpses lying all across the ground. Fresh blood painted the entire place red and the smell of blood and fear lingered in the air.
Ikuya was carrying out the deal that he made with the Spirit of the Phoenix. That is to wipe out the 'Sinners' that were trying to make the lives of the innocent people a mess.
This included all the evil people who were roaming the Mountain Ranges, such as the numerous bandit groups etc.
Usually, others shouldn't be able to get into the mountain ranges because it is densely populated with profound beasts. But it all changed as Ikuya had wiped out the entire profound beast population in these mountain ranges.
After making the deal, the Spirit of the Phoenix had asked him to burn of the curse imprints in the Phoenix bloodline of the villagers. But Ikuya declined instantly. He had no interest in playing the role of a saviour, so the Spirit of the Phoenix had to do the task by itself.
With the baptism of blood and killing, Ikuya was able to sense that the white pearl within his mind realm was absorbing some mysterious force from those he kills and the silver glow is also getting more brighter.
By this point, Ikuya has already killed more than hundreds of the 'Evildoers' and has painted the entire mountain range in red.
In one night, Ikuya had wiped out all the so-called evildoers that the Spirit of the Phoenix stated in cold blood. But this could barely affect him. To him who started killing at a mere age of 3, killing is as natural as breathing to him.
" You really are heartless. Looks like my decision on not giving you the Phoenix soul essence was right after all." A feminine voice resounded in Ikuya's mind.
" I thought you couldn't leave the trial grounds. If you could, why did I have to bother myself with such a boring task." Ikuya said without turning around.
" You are correct. But this entire mountain range itself is the Phoenix trial ground. I've seen all the atrocities committed in the mountain range by these evildoers. But I am unable to do anything to them as doing so will result in me betraying the will of the Phoenix. Yet, the atmosphere here was becoming more and more corrupted. So I had no choice but to do something. Since you're the one doing the task, I wouldn't be defying the will of the Phoenix." The Spirit of the Phoenix in it's human spirit form which is an otherworldly woman's appearance said while floating behind Ikuya.
" Is that so. Well, this is farewell." Ikuya said as he walked forward, completely unperturbed by the bloody atmosphere.
" I believe so." The Phoenix Spirit said as it burst into scarlet flames which then expanded and slowly covered the entire mountain range. But, it only burned away the hundreds of corpses and the pungent bloody atmosphere, without harming anything else. By this point, Ikuya had already left the mountain range.
.....
One month later.
Ikuya had left the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range one month ago and is now in Sorrowsouth Mountain, which is near to one of the four major sects of the Blue Wind Empire, Xiao Sect. But it was still very far from the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.
He was residing in a cave in the depths of the mountain and was focused on many things. The place was pretty desolate yet peaceful, which was perfect for Ikuya to do his training and stuff.
During this one month, the mysterious white pearl within Ikuya's mind realm had started to glow more with silver light. But Ikuya had no clue of what it was about.
After all, everything to do with this mysterious white pearl was like fantasy and shrouded in secrecy. There were still many things that Ikuya did not understand, it was just that he was too lazy to think about them. In the end, as long as it was nothing harmful to him he would leave it be.
But, Ikuya for one instinctively knew that the white pearl will never harm him.
But the most important thing he did was.....
Reproduce more Phoenix Origin Blood.
Yes. With his Genetic Access powers, Ikuya can easily produce literally infinite amount of blood with only an initial drop of blood. Heck, he doesn't even need a drop of blood. Even a mere cell or even a strain of DNA will do.
A living cell can give birth to new cells. Ikuya is simply using the same concept to make the initial blood cells to produce more blood cells. All it takes is the use of his Ki/Life Energy.
Primordial Divine Beast blood it may be, the blood may contain mystical powers and abilities, but....
Primordial Divine Beast Blood is still Blood in the end!
But the blood of the Phoenix still did make some differences. If it was human blood, with his current Ki, Ikuya is capable of making literally quintillions of drops of blood by only exerting 40% of his total Ki per day.
But the Phoenix Origin Blood was still something human blood couldn't compare to.
Ikuya was able to reproduce only 76 drops of Phoenix Origin Blood per day at the cost of 90% of his Ki.
By this point, Ikuya now has 2,356 drops of Phoenix Origin Blood in his possession.
Ikuya of course wasn't planning on using the blood for himself. After becoming an Alpha, he has already transcended the existential level of any other beings in the universe. Him fusing with the Phoenix blood will only downgrade his potential instead of increasing it.
But, Ikuya saw all this blood as a source of money. He planned on selling the Phoenix Origin Blood in the God's Realm and get filthy rich. In the end, it was still his weird obsession about being super rich.
If the Spirit of the Phoenix knew about this, it would probably kill itself for giving Ikuya a drop of the Phoenix Origin Blood.
If Ikuya carries out something like Phoenix Origin Blood's bargain sale, the bloodline of the legendary Primordial Divine Beast would be turned into a cheap commodity, making the late Phoenix to lose quite a bit of face.
