Chapter 117: The Awakening of the Emperor’s Blood (Part 3)
The Awakening of the Emperor’s Blood (Part 3)
Victor’s consciousness slowly drifted inward.
He entered the deepest part of his body.
The moment he saw what had changed inside him, he went completely silent.
His blood was different.
Every drop flowing through his veins had been transformed.
The pale golden blood that once filled his body was gone.
Not a trace of it remained.
In its place flowed a deep crimson.
But even that description felt inadequate.
The crimson blood carried a faint golden glow, as if tiny suns had been sealed inside every drop.
Ancient runes drifted through the blood.
They appeared.
Vanished.
Then appeared somewhere else.
Their movements followed no pattern Victor could understand.
Yet somehow, he felt that each rune contained a fragment of the laws governing heaven and earth.
They were things ordinary cultivators could spend their entire lives pursuing and still never comprehend.
Victor stared at the sight in silence.
A deep and ancient majesty spread through his body.
It wasn’t something he was deliberately releasing.
It simply existed.
This was the natural pressure of the Emperor’s Bloodline.
Victor slowly clenched his fist.
He could feel the difference immediately.
His comprehension had become even sharper.
Spiritual energy moved through his body with almost no resistance.
Every circulation was smoother.
Every movement felt more natural.
His connection to the Great Laws of the World had also grown stronger.
It felt as though the world itself had become closer to him.
More willing to respond.
And that wasn’t the only change.
His body had evolved again.
His muscles were filled with explosive strength.
His bones had become harder than divine metal.
His organs carried an almost inexhaustible vitality.
Even his soul felt different.
Clearer.
Stronger.
More stable.
Victor slowly exhaled.
The Emperor’s Bloodline hadn’t merely strengthened his blood.
It had elevated his entire existence.
His body.
His soul.
His comprehension.
Even his connection to the world.
Everything had taken another step forward.
And Victor knew...
This was only the beginning.
As the thought crossed his mind, he suddenly felt something stir deep within him.
It came from his bloodline.
Something new.
Something divine.
Victor’s expression changed slightly.
A strange sensation spread through his body. Then, without warning, a stream of unfamiliar information surfaced directly inside his mind.
Heavenly Dao Concealed.
Victor remained silent for a moment.
Then he understood.
This new ability was not meant for attacking.
It was meant for hiding.
From this moment onward, no one would be able to accurately sense his cultivation realm.
Not ordinary cultivators.
Not powerful experts.
Not even someone using a secret technique specifically designed to see through another person’s strength.
Anyone who tried to examine Victor would find nothing.
Only chaos.
Endless and boundless chaos.
His true cultivation would be buried beneath it.
To others, it would be like staring into an abyss with no bottom.
There was no beginning.
No ending.
Nothing they could grasp.
It was almost like looking directly into the chaos that existed before creation itself.
Victor’s lips slowly curved upward.
He liked this ability.
A lot.
"This ability..."
He glanced down at his hand.
"It’s unexpectedly useful."
There were times when showing your strength was the worst thing you could do.
Letting your enemies believe they understood you could be far more valuable.
If they thought they knew how strong he was...
They would never be prepared for what came next.
Victor didn’t dwell on it for long.
He stood up from the meditation cushion.
His black hair fell naturally behind his shoulders as he stretched his body.
Then he took a step forward.
His expression became calm.
He raised his right fist.
There was no cultivation technique.
No circulation of spiritual power.
No mysterious energy gathering around his body.
He didn’t activate the Absolute Destruction Art.
He didn’t use any special ability.
This time...
He simply wanted to know how strong his body had become.
Victor looked at the empty space in front of him.
Then he punched.
BOOM!!
The entire cultivation chamber shook.
A deafening explosion erupted from his fist.
The air itself seemed to collapse beneath the force.
Space twisted violently.
Victor’s eyes narrowed.
Then—
RIP!!
A gigantic spatial rift suddenly tore open in front of his fist.
It looked like a black scar had been carved directly across reality.
Violent spatial turbulence poured out from the crack.
The surrounding formations immediately reacted.
Brilliant defensive runes lit up around Sovereign Peak as the protective formations hurriedly suppressed the unstable space.
The turbulence slowly weakened.
The rift began to close.
Victor calmly lowered his arm.
Within moments, the damaged space completely healed.
The cultivation chamber became quiet again.
Victor stared at his right fist.
For the first time, genuine amazement appeared in his golden eyes.
He hadn’t used spiritual power.
He hadn’t used a cultivation technique.
He hadn’t relied on the Absolute Destruction Art.
That strike had come entirely from his physical body.
And yet...
A single punch had torn space apart.
Victor slowly clenched his fist.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"The Emperor’s Bloodline..."
He paused.
His eyes gleamed with disbelief and fascination.
"...is truly terrifying."
That single punch had contained no combat art.
No spiritual techniques.
No amplification whatsoever.
It had been nothing more than raw physical power.
Yet it had still shattered space itself.
Victor couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.
His combat strength had risen by another tremendous margin.
If he were to face his former self now...
Victory would come effortlessly.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"So this..."
"...is the Emperor’s Bloodline."
"It truly deserves its legendary reputation."
After a brief pause, Victor softly laughed to himself.
"But I never expected the chance of success to be this high."
"One Primordial Blood Sovereign Pill..."
"...and I actually succeeded."
He believed his luck had simply been exceptional.
However...
What Victor didn’t know...
Was that the Primordial Blood Sovereign Pill was indeed an incomparably heaven-defying treasure.
But...
Obtaining an Emperor’s Bloodline...
Had never been something that could be accomplished so easily.
