Chapter 337 Ch 337: Blood Devouring Abyssal Pearl
Not long after Alex broke through and became a Perfection-leveled Divine Lord, the Blood Flower at the center of the swamp slowly started blooming. When it completely bloomed, countless blood threads flew out from it, connected with each petal of the flower, and started swaying toward the sky along with the soft blow of wind.
And then, the Blood Cocoon slowly flew out of the flower.
"Kaa-Chaa!"
The sound of something breaking rang out and then, one after another, countless cracks appeared on the cocoon. And finally, the cocoon shattered like a mirror, revealing Olav's sleeping figure.
The Blood Threads swaying along with the wind suddenly started gathering above Olav's head and soon transformed into a demonic-looking pair of Blood Eyes. The pair of Blood Eyes looked at Olav and suddenly shot right into his eyes.
Even though Olav's eyelids were covering his eyes, the Blood Eyes still entered his skin and disappeared.
Olav suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath, causing a wave of strong ripple to appear on the swamp's surface. His eyes were completely red, as if it was a pair of demonic eyes.
A terrifying aura also burst out from Olav's body; this aura was even stronger than Alex's aura. It was overbearing and horrifying. Most importantly, this aura had traces of blood and darkness which confirmed Olav's relation with the Abyss.
Alex extended his hand and the Abyssal Pearl that was still floating above Olav's head suddenly shot back into his hand. But when Alex observed the Abyssal Pearl, he was shocked to discover some changes in it.
The previous Abyssal Pearl was completely red in color, as if it was not an Abyssal Pearl but a Blood Pearl. However, the current Abyssal Pearl was completely black, with tens of blood strips on its surface. The Blood Strips was also exuding an abyssal and bloody aura. Most importantly, Alex has a feeling that as long as he used the Abyssal Pearl now, he could have an instant improvement all way around.
Alex could not have but become curious. He did not know what transformation the Abyssal Pearl has gone through while helping Olav in the awakening of his Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline.
But one thing is now sure, the Abyssal Pearl definitely has some relationship with this bloodline, a very deep relationship!
Alex still remembered when he looked at the information panel of Abyssal Pearl before. The explanation was something like this...
[Name: Abyssal Pearl.
Grade: Divine (World Treasure).
Detail: A treasure naturally born in the depth of the Shattered Dark Abyss fallen from the sky. The Abyssal Pearl could devour the blood of all targeted living beings and convert them into pure Blood Energy that could strengthen a martial warrior's body, bloodline, and even cultivation base.]
But now, the information panel changed. There were extra pieces of information that were never there.
[Name: Blood Devouring Abyssal Pearl.
Grade: Divinity (Universal Treasure).
Detail: A treasure naturally born in the depth of the Shattered Dark Abyss fell from the sky but evolved into half of its true form by devouring Essence of Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline, the Blood Devouring Abyssal Pearl.
The Blood Devouring Abyssal Pearl could devour the blood of all targeted living beings and convert them into pure Blood Energy that could strengthen a martial warrior's body, bloodline, and even cultivation base.
If the owner of Blood Devouring Abyssal Pearl also has the Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline, it can constantly evolve the bloodline and make it the greatest bloodline in the entire Universe. And when that will happen, the Blood Devouring Abyssal Pearl and the Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline will fuse together, birthing a shocking mystical existence that can give the owner enough strength to shatter or imprison the entire universe on will.
Note: The Blood Devouring Abyssal Pearl is just half its true form. The Blood Devouring Abyssal Pearl and the Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline have the same origin. Only by letting the Blood Devouring Abyssal Pearl devour its own Origin will it transform into its true form.
At the depth of the Abyss, there exists a race called Blood Devouring Abyssal Race. They are the second true ruler of the Abyss. All secrets of Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline and the Blood Devouring Abyssal Pearl are hidden in the Book of Ancestral Abyssal.]
Alex was really shocked.
Now, it seems it is not just Olav, even he has to go to the Extreme End of Death Valley someday. In fact, it will be much better to go with Olav. At that time, he might get entry into the Blood Devouring Abyssal Race through Olav as well.
"The same origin... Huh?"
Alex muttered.
"A treasure naturally born in the depth of the Shattered Dark Abyss fallen from the sky but evolved into half of its true form by devouring Essence of Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline... The essence of Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline?"
"It seems the Abyssal Pearl reacted so strongly to the Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline because both have the same origin and it wanted to devour this bloodline's essence to evolve."
"However, if both have the same origin, how come one is in the Essence Sky World while the other one was in a different world under Abyssal Demons' seige?"
"My soul was sent to that world by Atticus for a trial. Was that just a coincidence? Or could it be that Atticus already knew I have fate with the Abyss, so he sent me to that world to complete the trial?"
The more Alex thought, the more confused he was, and the weirder things became.
When he was sent to that world by Atticus to complete the second trial, he clearly did not have the Abyssal Pearl. He obtained the Abyssal Pearl later after killing a demon. This layout must not have been laid by Atticus, right?
And if it was, he clearly did not...
Wait a minute!
"Abyssal Pearl was clearly in the three rewards shown by Atticus. He wanted me to choose one of the three rewards. Because I replicated the other two rewards, I chose the Abyssal Pearl. And even if I had failed to replicate the other two treasures, I would have chosen the Abyssal Pearl. It is because the value of Abyssal Pearl was far superior to the other two rewards. And even a fool would have chosen the Abyssal Pearl. Atticus clearly knew I was going to choose the Abyssal Pearl as my reward."
"Looks like, everything was planned by Atticus step by step. But why? Did he really know I have fate with the Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline that has the same origin as the Abyssal Pearl? That's why he sent me to that world for the trial so that I could get familiar with the Abyssal Pearl?"
When Alex thought of this, he was terrified. If everything was really planned by Atticus, then it was too terrifying.
As expected of the strongest person in the entire universe. His moves and the steps he has taken or will take in the future is not something easy to understand.
"I have to meet Atticus. Yes, before going to the Extreme End of Death Valley, I'll go and meet Atticus!" Alex muttered and took a deep breath. Then he focused on Olav who was now floating above the swamp, observing his own body that was filled with unimaginable strength.
His strength seemed to have surpassed the Divine Lord Stage.
Is this possible for a person's strength to skyrocket just from the awakening of his bloodline?
Of course, it is possible.
Alex took a deep breath and looked at the information panel of Olav.
[Name: Olav Lightfoot.
Cultivation: Perfection-leveled Divine Emperor Stage.
Martial Arts Skill: Sky Shattering Fist, Blade Slashing the Sky, Star Falling Finger, Blood Manifestation, Blood Blade Technique, Heavenly Thunder Blade, ...
Unique Skills: Blood Devouring, Blood Slaughter Hand, Abyssal Blood Flash, Abyssal Blood Incarnation.
Cultivation Technique: Pure Heart Fulmination Technique.
Special Physique: Ancient Mystic Thunder Body.
Bloodline: Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline (Half Awakened).
Concept: 60% Law of Thunder, 50% Law of Flame, 40% Fist Intent.
Treasures: Dark Star Blade, Three-leaf Cloudy Flower, Misty Thunder Fruit, Hundred Essence Honey, ...]
The information panel was simple, however, there was a great change.
The Cultivation Talent and Unique Talent disappeared. At the same time, an attribute of Unique Skill appeared. All unique skills belong to the Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline.
Most importantly, this bloodline did not awaken fully, it was only half-awakened. But even so, it was able to actually let Olav's cultivation skyrocket.
It has to be known that before Olav's bloodline awakened, his cultivation was only at the Perfection Level of the Holy Lord Stage. But now, after the Bloodline Awakening, his cultivation actually broke through by two major stages of cultivation, reaching the Perfection Level of the Divine Emperor Stage.
Olav directly skipped the Divine Lord Stage and became a Divine Emperor.
And this was all with just half-awakening of his Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline. It seems this bloodline is really one of its kind, unique to the universe, and the strongest bloodline in this universe.
But even so, why was the Blood Devouring Abyssal Race the second strongest race in Abyss?
What about the strongest in Abyss?
What race is that?
Alex was getting more and more confused, at the same time, more and more interested in the Abyss.
