Chapter 874 - 395: Bloodline Awakening, Brotherly Harmony (Part 2)
Ye Qingzhou instantly understood: this is a crucial node set by the Blood God!
In the rules of this realm, the awakening of the bloodline triggers Heaven and Earth resonance.
As long as he unearths the "Sun" power within his bloodline, Ye Qingzhou can quickly absorb the origin of this realm, even ascending to divine status in one fell swoop, becoming an eternal existence.
But the world before him is merely the dream of the Blood God; such false eternity Ye Qingzhou does not need.
Therefore, Ye Qingzhou does not care about the origin of this world either. At least for now, this world created by the Blood God is beyond Ye Qingzhou’s capability to digest.
The more he devours, the faster he will be assimilated instead.
The wise approach is to first strengthen his own Dao, then reverse devour the Blood God’s origin, seize His Dao Foundation, thus reversing fate successfully.
"Interesting."
Ye Qingzhou stroked the sword box, silently channeling Infinite Sword Intent, "Then let’s see... who actually devours whom."
In the Star Hall of the Silver Radiance Royal Knight Academy, candlelight flickered.
The bishop in a scarlet robe stood at the center of the crystal altar, gems in the golden scepter reflecting the twelve white-robed priests chanting ancient prayers.
The Holy Grail suspended in mid-air revolved with seven-colored radiance, runes on the cup’s surface gradually lighting up with the chanting.
"In the name of my god..."
The bishop struck the ground with the scepter, and light patterns on the altar expanded like ripples: "Let the baptised come forward!"
Dietrich Von Klaus took a deep breath, moving slowly onto the altar.
His blond hair was meticulously combed, the silver-blue light armor glinting coldly in the candlelight. He sliced his fingertip on the silver dagger, letting the blood pearl slowly drip...
Drip.
Suddenly, a cyan whirlwind rose inside the Holy Grail, as the airflow howled, a pair of semi-transparent feather wings appeared behind him.
"Lanyi Bloodline, Wind Step Awakening!"
The bishop announced loudly.
Murmurs of astonishment erupted from the audience.
Dietrich smiled faintly, casting a glance towards the end of the viewing gallery at Laine Morning Star, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Sirius Lanyi stood with arms crossed, a flicker of electricity in pupils under his silver-white short hair, nodding indifferently, pleased to see the awakening of the bloodline by this branch family member of the Lanyi Family.
Kane Morning Star smiled and applauded, unconsciously stroking the pattern of the "Red Mark" on the Dragon Rider Spear with his fingers.
Next, Brandon Earth Vein stepped forward boldly, his short auburn hair standing upright, reflecting his explosive and strong-willed nature. With a grin, he bit his thumb directly, pressing the blood into the Holy Grail.
Boom.
A magma-like pillar of light surged skyward, his skin revealing crimson patterns, the stone slabs under his feet melting into liquid. The blazing heatwave forced the front-row students to retreat repeatedly.
"Earth Vein Bloodline, Melting Core Awakening!"
Livia Flame Scale’s fiery hair fluttered, golden patterns near her eyes flickering slightly, assessing the threat of this formidable opponent.
Brandon paid no mind to the gazes of the crowd, instead turning his head toward Ye Qingzhou, shouting gruffly: "Hey, Morning Star family! How about a duel one day?"
Ye Qingzhou stood silently in a corner, unmoved by the words.
Each step Livia Flame Scale took onto the altar seemed to flicker like flames.
She removed a crimson hairpin, lightly pricking her wrist.
As the blood pearl fell into the Holy Grail...
Sizzle.
Clear water vaporized, a Flaming Dragon Shadow emerged from the cup, swirling and roaring!
Golden patterns from the corners of her eyes spread across half her cheek, transforming into resplendent dragon scales.
"Flame Scale Bloodline, Dragon Scale Awakening!"
Kane’s gaze turned fiercely hot, calculating an alliance in his mind; if the Morning Star and Flame Scale families could join in matrimony, his position as the eldest son would be thoroughly solidified.
Subsequently, Erin Liuge covered her ears, acutely sensitive to Dragon’s Roar with her Deep Sea Bloodline.
Livia gazed at the flames dancing at her fingertips, suddenly glancing in the direction of Laine—rumored to be the Morning Star family’s second young master, who emerged seemingly unscathed by the Dragon Power’s influence?
Erin Liuge and her twin sister Awei interlocked their fingers as they stepped forward. Two drops of blood simultaneously fell into the Holy Grail.
Buzz.
An illusory melody suddenly filled the hall, phantom shadows of deep-sea mermaids appearing in the air.
The students’ eyes grew vacant, some even walked towards the altar with blissful smiles.
"Liuge Bloodline, Illusory Sound Awakening!"
The bishop wore a look of indulgence, failing to notice Laine’s sword box slightly trembling under the black robe.
The Sword Intent of Infinite Sword autonomously protected its master, isolating the enchanting sound.
In a flash of silver light, Sirius Lanyi instantly teleported before the altar.
With a flick of his nail, a blood pearl shot into the Holy Grail like an arrow...
Crack~
The glass dome shattered as lightning struck, and the thunderous light gathered at his fingertips, forming a sharp beak-like shape. The flickering sparks in his hair cast a pale light over Dietrich’s face, hidden in the shadows.
"Lanyi Bloodline, Thunder Beak Awakens!"
The bishop knelt and shouted, secretly signaling the priest to record it—the Church Court must monitor this monster who can summon heavenly lightning.
The crowd was all shocked, as over a hundred noble heirs participated in the awakening ceremony, yet only six had stood out so far.
Among them, Sirius was the only one to showcase a Middle-Rank Bloodline talent, a once-in-a-lifetime genius.
Amidst the heated discussions, Laine Morning Star’s name was called, instantly plunging the hall into silence.
Ye Qingzhou remained calm, walking forward slowly, the hem of his black robe brushing against the stone slabs with a gentle rustle. The motion of the silver dagger grazing his fingertip was as elegant as wielding a brush.
Drip~
One second.
Two seconds.
The Holy Grail remained unresponsive.
Kane’s lips just curled into a smile...
Crack~
Suddenly, the Golden Chalice exploded into fragments!
A golden torrent erupted like a solar flare, Laine’s black hair transforming into brilliant golden flames in the heatwave, and the sun’s shadow emerged behind him, melting the stained glass into liquid!
"Sun... Light of the Sun, Upper-Rank Bloodline!"
The bishop nearly collapsed, his face filled with disbelief: "Dawn Divine Flame!"
"Ahhhh!"
The five awakened simultaneously screamed—their neck bloodline marks began to burn on their own!
Kane’s Dragon Rider Spear "Red Mark" melted into molten iron, as blood-red runes spread like spider webs across the hall’s tiles.
Their Lower-Rank Bloodlines were suppressed by Ye Qingzhou’s Upper-Rank Bloodline.
"Sun... Light of the Sun, Supreme Bloodline!"
The bishop slumped to the ground, "Millennia unseen... Dawn Divine Flame!"
Kane’s mask shattered, the Dragon Rider Spear "Red Mark" instantly in hand, envy twisting his mind: "Indeed... I cannot let you live!"
......
The slums of Silver Radiance City were filled with the smell of decay and rust.
Kane Morning Star, cloaked in a tattered cloak, his mask hid his signature golden hair and handsome features. He walked along the stone path, plagued by sewage, and finally stopped at a decrepit building with a sign that read "Rusted Iron Tavern."
As the door swung open, the noise stopped abruptly.
Under the dim oil lamps, dozens of eyes examined him with greed, wariness, and most prominently, bare killing intent.
"I want to see ’Blood Vulture’."
Kane lowered his voice and pressed a gold coin with the Morning Star Family Emblem onto the bar.
The bartender squinted, the coin flipping in his coarse fingers. "Did the noble lord come to the wrong place?"
"Cut the crap."
Kane’s fingertips ignited a wisp of Moonlight Power, the coldness forming frost on the wooden counter: "Tell your leader, I need someone to disappear—permanently."
The basement was filled with the scent of blood. Blood Vulture’s leader "Gray Owl" toyed with a poisoned dagger and sneered after hearing Kane’s request: "Godslaying Blood Nobles? Are you crazy?"
"One hundred thousand gold coins."
Kane pushed over a magic contract: "Thirty thousand in advance, the rest upon completion."
Gray Owl’s breath visibly thickened, the money enough for the entire organization to vanish for ten years.
After a moment’s hesitation, he licked the dagger: "That ’Sun Bloodline’ kid, he’s not easy to deal with."
"On the night of the lunar eclipse..."
Kane stood, his cloak brushing past the candle, casting a twisted shadow: "He will be in the Old City District investigating the missing poor case."
Ye Qingzhou indeed came to the Old City District alone on the night of the eclipse.
The Infinite Sword trembled slightly in its sheath, warning of the killing intent lurking in the darkness. When he turned into a dead-end alley, twelve assassins simultaneously revealed themselves.
"Whoosh!"
The first crossbow bolt aimed at his back, but burned to ash before touching his black robe.
