Whoosh!
Lingyue lightly pointed again, which made Gu Lingxiao watch with interest.
Generally speaking, unless a saint had been forced to reincarnate, they would always leave behind a hidden safeguard for their reincarnated self.
He wondered whether Lingyue could force out the hidden measure left behind by Jiang Qingxue’s previous life.
A stream of spiritual energy that appeared light but was actually incomparably swift tore through space and pierced Jiang Qingxue’s body without obstruction.
With a soft thud, Jiang Qingxue collapsed to the ground.
No hidden safeguard?
Gu Lingxiao did not believe it.
“Qingxue!!!!”
Ye Han shouted hoarsely, his voice cracking.
Lingyue had once been the person closest to him. Su Yingmeng and Jiang Qingxue were now the ones closest to him.
The one who had once been closest to him had killed the two who were now closest to him right before his eyes. This almost drove him completely insane.
“You actually… are that heartless!!!”
Ye Han stood there with his head lowered, his entire body trembling, his fingers digging into the flesh of his palm.
Lingyue could not see his face clearly, but she could imagine his fury.
The Heavenly Supreme Sword and Lingyue had been taken from him.
His cultivation had been crippled.
The two people closest to him had been killed.
All of this had happened before his eyes.
“Damn it!”
“Damn it!!!”
Ye Han roared toward the sky.
Power!
He needed power!
He needed power strong enough!
Only then could he protect those he wanted to protect.
“Ahhh!!! Ahhhhhh!!!”
Golden light coiled around Ye Han’s body and began to burn amid his furious roar.
Within his body, the bloodline of the Fu Clan was awakening continuously.
Lingyue frowned slightly.
She sensed that the bloodline within Ye Han seemed somewhat different from the Fu Clan bloodline she remembered.
It was similar, yet not the same.
“Strange… It is clearly the Fu Clan bloodline. Why is it different?”
Lingyue pondered inwardly but did not strike again.
Suddenly, she thought of a terrifying possibility.
“It is not the ordinary Fu Clan bloodline, but the Primordial Sovereign Bloodline!”
The Sovereign of the Fu Clan, as the name implied, was the emperor among the Fu Clan.
Compared to the other members of the Fu Clan, the ancient Primordial Sovereign Bloodline was purer and far more powerful.
The golden light burned continuously. Intense pain assaulted Ye Han’s senses as his screams echoed throughout the entire underground world.
Gu Lingxiao watched the scene before him with a trace of disappointment on his face.
Because Ye Han’s current suffering was still insufficient to fully awaken the ancient Primordial Sovereign Bloodline within him.
He glanced at Jiang Qingxue lying on the ground. There was still no sign of any hidden safeguard being triggered.
“Forget it. I will ignore this reincarnated saint for now. Let me help you fully awaken your bloodline.”
With that thought, Gu Lingxiao appeared directly before Ye Han.
When Lingyue saw Gu Lingxiao, she glanced at Ye Han beside her and then knelt before Gu Lingxiao.
“Lingyue greets Master.”
Gu Lingxiao nodded slightly and waved his hand, signaling her to rise.
Seeing this scene, Ye Han’s eyes nearly split with fury.
“Gu! Ling! Xiao!!!”
Overwhelming hatred surged into the sky, almost taking physical form. Enduring the searing pain throughout his body, Ye Han stepped toward Gu Lingxiao one step at a time.
Though the distance between them was only several dozen meters, in Ye Han’s eyes it was like an insurmountable chasm.
With each step, the ground beneath his feet sank deeply. His entire body burned continuously, like a demon crawling back from hellfire.
Gu Lingxiao looked at the flames burning around him and knew they were not ordinary flames.
They were his future.
Ye Han’s intense desire for power had been sensed by the vast Destiny Fortune in the unseen world. The future that would have allowed him to dominate the Immortal Domain was being borrowed in advance.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Han at the Innate Realm could never awaken the Primordial Sovereign Bloodline.
His physical body was far too weak.
If he forced the awakening, his body would collapse and shatter.
But the portion of his future that he had borrowed was now continuously protecting him.
[Ding! The current Son of Destiny’s Destiny Level has decreased to Level 6. The host has gained 10,000,000 Villain Points.]
The system’s notification sounded within Gu Lingxiao at the perfect moment.
“So even his Destiny Level has dropped? In that case, the Primordial Sovereign Bloodline should awaken ahead of time.”
Gu Lingxiao continued watching Ye Han approach him.
Ye Han, engulfed in flames, looked terrifying. Like a peerless fiend, he stared at Gu Lingxiao with vengeance burning even in his eyes.
Innate Realm!
Transcendent Realm!
Longevity Realm!
Under the effect of the Primordial Sovereign Bloodline, Ye Han’s cultivation soared as if propelled by a rocket.
Spiritual energy flooded every part of his body. He felt stronger than ever before.
Divine Martial Realm!
Nirvana Origin Realm!
Heaven Fusion Realm!
Even Lingyue could hardly believe her eyes. With his bloodline fully awakening, Ye Han’s cultivation was rising at an astonishing speed.
Ye Han’s bloodline was not an ordinary Fu Clan bloodline.
It was the legendary—
Primordial Sovereign Bloodline!
Boom!
The flames burning around Ye Han gradually began to fade, indicating that the borrowed future had been exhausted.
He had now completely awakened the Primordial Sovereign Bloodline and possessed talent comparable to the geniuses of the Chaotic Immortal Domain.
But for a Son of Destiny like Ye Han, awakening his bloodline prematurely was no different from forcing growth before its time.
“Didn’t expect this, Gu Lingxiao. I now possess such powerful strength.”
Ye Han spoke with a twisted expression.
His cultivation ultimately stabilized at the Ascension Realm.
Thanks to the strength of the Primordial Sovereign Bloodline, he was far stronger than the Hidden Dragon Emperor whom Lingyue had slain before.
He was also stronger than the Holy Lord of the Azure Sovereign Holy Land.
Lingyue looked at Ye Han with even more complicated emotions.
There was pity, but also ridicule.
Ascension Realm strength would allow him to dominate the Sky Vault Continent.
But before Gu Lingxiao, it was still far too weak.
He was like a frog at the bottom of a well, unaware of the true strength of his enemy.
She pitied the hardships he had endured.
But she also mocked his foolishness.
To provoke Gu Lingxiao again without understanding his strength—what else could that be but stupidity?
“Powerful strength? Not bad indeed.”
With a single gesture, Gu Lingxiao imprisoned Ye Han within a cage of spiritual energy.
Ye Han sneered and threw a punch at it.
The punch struck the cage, yet it did not react at all, as though nothing had happened.
“How is this possible?!”
Ye Han stared blankly at the cage trapping him, unable to believe that his Ascension Realm strength could not break a casually formed cage from Gu Lingxiao.
“Why would it be impossible? Did you truly think your current strength is enough to contend with me?”
A mocking smile curved on Gu Lingxiao’s lips.
“Not enough? I don’t believe it!” Ye Han gritted his teeth. “Heavenly Supreme Palace!!!”
The Primordial Sovereign Bloodline erupted within him.
The Heavenly Supreme Palace, which Lingyue had just taken into her possession, broke free from her control and flew toward Ye Han.
Lingyue had only just obtained the Heavenly Supreme Palace and had not refined it yet.
Moreover, the Heavenly Supreme Palace had been personally forged by the Primordial Sovereign. Naturally, the Primordial Sovereign Bloodline had a stronger pull on it.
“So naive.”
Gu Lingxiao waved his hand and struck the Heavenly Supreme Palace back into Lingyue’s hands.
Then, ignoring Ye Han entirely, he turned to look at Lingyue.
“I will give you two more choices.”
