Chapitre 399: Chapter 398: Setting Off to the Disha Hall
After Xiao Ming threw out the token, the blood mass suddenly wrapped around him.
'So, this is the power of the Xiao Clan's bloodline power...'
Xiao Ming's palm tightened, but he didn't resist, allowing the dense blood to envelop him.
As the blood mass completely wrapped around Xiao Ming, it began to fluctuate violently. Threads of blood-red energy, as thin as silk, shot towards his body like sharp needles, fiercely piercing into his pores and madly rushing into his body.
"Ugh..."
The sudden intense pain caused Xiao Ming's face to instantly turn pale, and he couldn't help but gasp in cold air.
He could feel his blood rapidly evaporating under the stimulation of those blood-red energies, yes, evaporating!
Compared to the slow blood exchange shown in the simulation, this simulator's operation was undoubtedly more violent but also more efficient.
The cost of efficiency was this extreme pain. Under this intense pain, a feeling of extreme weakness spread rapidly from within his body, causing Xiao Ming's eyelids to droop involuntarily.
'I didn't even feel this way the first time I devoured the Heavenly Flame. I wasn't mistaken earlier. This simulator can be quite deceptive! I expected it to end with a single mass of light like before.'
Talent-type items were not unfamiliar to Xiao Ming. For example, Zi Yan's Treasure Hunting Talent and Alchemist Talent all ended with just one light mass, without any discomfort in the body. But this time was obviously different.
The claim that the blood mass was efficient was indeed true. After fifteen minutes, all the blood in Xiao Ming's body had evaporated, leaving him as thin as a skeleton.
Gurgle, gurgle…
Before Xiao Ming could catch his breath, the blood mass began to tremble vigorously. Threads of liquid started flowing through his pores, continuously pouring into his body.
As this blood-red liquid, filled with strange energy, entered Xiao Ming's body, his extremely pale skin gradually took on a hint of rosy color, and his withered skin began to regain its elasticity.
This rebounding process was extremely fast. Soon, Xiao Ming's skin had returned to its former appearance, appearing full of vitality. Outside his body, countless strands of blood were still surging out and ultimately pouring into his body, accompanying the last strand of blood that entered his body.
Boom!
A deep sound erupted from within Xiao Ming's body, and a drop of blood slowly trickled down from the corner of his mouth. A purple-golden light flashed by.
"The power of the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline..." Xiao Ming slowly opened his eyes and raised his right hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, uttering a sentence.
The muffled sound just now was caused by the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline rejecting the Dou God Bloodline. The source of this bloodline power should be Zi Yan.
Originally, he wanted to use his Spirit to harmonize the bloodlines, but in the end, the two directly merged.
If someone could see through, they would notice that in the center of Xiao Ming's heart, there was a peculiar purple-red diamond-shaped crystal about the size of a thumb, which had fused directly.
Threads of purple-red light radiated from it. Vaguely, Xiao Ming could sense the powerful pulsation of his heart. Every beat seemed to cause ripples of Dou Qi to surge within his body.
The fusion of bloodlines made Xiao Ming feel that this should be the work of the simulator. He retracted his previous complaint about being deceived by the simulator. The simulator's "after-sales service" for talent-related items had always been reliable!
Thanks to the simulator's efficient process, it didn't take Xiao Ming much time to merge the Dou God Bloodline.
However, after fusing the Dou God Bloodline, Xiao Ming's cultivation level did not increase, which was within his expectations.
In the original story, Xiao Yan didn't level up just because he absorbed the Dou God Bloodline, but rather because he absorbed the energy left by Xiao Xuan.
Since the simulator didn't provide any energy, Xiao Ming's cultivation level remained unchanged.
Leaping up from the bed, Xiao Ming casually reached into the empty space in front of him, and the token he had thrown out before appeared in his hand again.
He had thrown the token out to notify Xiao Yi Xian and the others when he sensed something amiss, but now it seemed useless.
Tossing it into his storage ring, Xiao Ming pushed open the door and walked out.
...
Three days later, as the first rays of morning light broke through the darkness and bathed the earth in a golden glow, a group of several figures emerged from within the Pill Tower. They moved with silent efficiency, avoiding drawing any unnecessary attention, and swiftly disappeared into the sky.
On a secluded mountain peak just outside Holy Pill City, the wind whistled through the air as a dozen figures flickered out of the void and landed on the mountaintop.
"We're all here," Shangguan Cuo announced, counting the number of people and giving a nod to Xiao Ming.
"Let's get going then," Xiao Ming replied calmly. With a soft whistle, a massive shadow descended from the sky, stretching tens of meters in length. The group stepped onto it.
With a powerful thrust, the shadow surged upward, piercing through the sky as it flew towards the northwest...
...
Soft clouds adorned the horizon in the vast expanse of the sky, and warm sunlight enveloped the world in a comforting embrace. A light breeze blew through the air, adding a refreshing touch to the atmosphere.
A tens-of-meter-long shadow flashed across the sky like lightning, effortlessly tearing apart the white clouds.
This massive form belonged to a colossal python, with sleek black scales gleaming in the sunlight and four wings sprouting from its back, emitting a fierce and ferocious aura. It was a seventh-rank Magical Beast.
Xiao Ming sat atop the python's head, holding a scroll map in his hand.
The map marked several dozen red dots of various sizes, which Xiao Ming knew were the locations of the branch halls of the Hall of Souls discovered by the Pill Tower.
Suddenly, an elderly man approached Xiao Ming.
This man was Shangguan Cuo, the other Great Elder participating in this operation, and a three-star Dou Venerate.
"Elder Xiao Ming, you are leading this operation. Please brief everyone on the mission's objective to acquaint them," Shangguan Cuo requested.
"Mm, I overlooked that," Xiao Ming smiled at him.
Actually, he had planned to explain later. In order to maintain secrecy, except for him and Shangguan Cuo, the other members were unaware of the mission's objective, so an explanation was necessary.
Turning around and walking to the middle of the gigantic python, Xiao Ming's gaze swept around, and he noticed that everyone appeared to be elderly men. Aside from Shangguan Cuo, there were three Dou Venerates, and the rest were all nine-star Dou Ancestors.
These three Dou Venerates didn't possess strong soul powers and were not alchemists; they were powerful individuals invited for this mission.
In this operation by the Pill Tower, including Xiao Ming, there were five Dou Venerates and ten nine-star Dou Ancestors. Xiao Ming himself was a seven-star Dou Venerate, which was enough to slaughter any branch hall of the Hall of Souls.
This demonstrated that the Pill Tower truly attached importance to this operation.
After observing everyone, Xiao Ming skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point.
"I believe you all should know who I am. I'll be leading this operation."
Being composed individuals, they merely nodded in response, using their gazes to indicate that they were listening.
"The objective of this mission is the branch hall of the Hall of Souls located in the Baiyun Mountain Range."
