Chapter 991: Signs
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi
The Sun had set; it was nighttime.
A giant flower was above Ling Xian’s head as he sat in midair in a lotus position. He was absorbing the demonic sage body’s blood source.
This blood source belonged to one of the nine sage bodies. Though this kind of blood is no immortal blood, it belonged to the Body of the Immortal Path and remains extremely valuable.
Because the moment it entered Ling Xian’s body, all the injuries he incurred from his fight against the 3,000 demonic silhouettes healed.
At the same time, it awakened his ancient majestic blood.
HOMMMM!
It was like thousands of horses were galloping or a volcano erupting. The awakened part of the ancient majestic blood boiled and generated giant waves inside his body.
That black drop of blood was like a leaf in an ocean full of waves. It could tumble around at any point in time. However, this blood belonged to a demonic sage body and it was extremely extraordinary. It was fighting a war against the ancient majestic blood!
HOMMM!
The black drop of blood was legendary after all and was the strongest source of blood. While it has weakened, it remained unforgiving and resisted with all it’s got!
While it is powerful, the ancient majestic blood was just stronger. It suppressed the demonic blood’s Qi and aimed to absorb it.
The demonic sage body’s blood source was unwilling and instinctively resisted.
HOMM!
One was the legendary demonic sage body’s blood, the other was the powerful ancient majestic blood. The two struggled against each other and exploded with an unimaginable amount of movement.
It was like hundreds and thousands of horses were galloping or an erupting volcano. The blood pushed around Ling Xian’s body. However, strangely, he didn’t feel any discomfort. Instead, he felt relaxed and comfortable.
Ling Xian was used to this feeling.
Back in Yunzhou, he had swallowed a drop of Yu Xun Zhen’s blood, who also had the Body of the Immortal Path. That time as well, when the blood of the immortal path entered his body, it fought against his ancient majestic blood.
This time, the same thing happened. He was confused.
“Interesting. It’s like the ancient majestic blood has met something extremely delicious.”
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. He felt the battle of the blood inside his body and he found it funny but also confusing.
Just then, the different sources of blood in his body had determined a winner. While the demonic blood is strong, it couldn’t fend against the ancient majestic blood. Within short minutes, it had been absorbed.
Then, a strange phenomenon happened to his ancient majestic blood.
Originally, his blood is silver, pure and crystal-like, untainted. After swallowing Xu Yun Zhen’s blood of the immortal path, it turned a little golden.
Now, shades of black were added to it. It looked hopeless and endless.
The three colors twisted and turned, emitting much mysteriousness that was strange and secretive.
“It absorbed the demonic blood…”
Ling Xian frowned slightly, confused. He didn’t understand why his ancient majestic blood could overtake blood of the sage body.
Just as he was getting more and more curious, he found his ancient majestic blood moving and concentrating into his right arm. Then, something began to change and his right arm began to shine.
“The demonic immortal bone… is awakening?”
Ling Xian had a look of ecstasy and his eyes filled with anticipation.
The reason why he absorbed the demonic sage body’s energy source was to see if he can revive the demonic immortal bone. Now that there was hope, naturally, he had high anticipation.
As time went by, the light shone brighter and the chance of the immortal bone reappearing became strong. Finally, the shape of an immortal bone formed in his right arm.
At once, space crumbled and the sky changed its color!
This exhilarated Ling Xian. If this much power was released during its formation, then just how powerful will it get after it fully forms?
However, after some time, the light disappeared and everything darkened before restoring back to normal.
Ling Xian was not surprised at this but was rather pleased. Because the shape of the bone has formed and he could feel the liveliness in his right arm.
This meant, once enough time passes, the demonic immortal bone will restore and reveal itself once again!
So why wouldn’t Ling Xian be excited?
Though the demonic immortal bone means the death of the owner and was basically useless other than that, he had a sense that this immortal bone is very important and he shouldn’t disregard it. Especially after he awakened two different immortal bones.
At the same time, he also learned that his ancient majestic blood can overtake the demonic sage body’s blood. Before that, it absorbed the blood of the immortal path.
This made Ling Xian question many things. His instinct told him that the ancient majestic blood and the nine sage bodies, as well as the immortal bones, have some form of connection.
Therefore, while the demonic immortal bone itself is not that useful, it is something he needed to have.
“It looks like I have to find all nine sage bodies.”
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. He knew that if he wanted to solve the puzzle and figure out the truth, he’d have to absorb the blood of all the sage bodies.
When that happens, the truth about the ancient majestic blood and its link to the nine sage bodies will be clear.
However, that is far too difficult. Even to him, he felt like the chances were slim.
The nine sage bodies are rare and hard to found. For them to appear in his own generation is even less likely. In today’s world, to have three at the same time is already unbelievable.
Plus, every single one of these nine sage bodies is powerful. Even Ling Xian cannot claim that he can defeat them all.
“Whatever, we’ll do what we can.”
Ling Xian smiled and decided to put a pin in this. After all, he had gained what he wanted to gain. As long as he waits patiently, he will once again awaken the demonic immortal bone.
Therefore, he stood up and planned on leaving this place so he could travel elsewhere.
Just then, an aged voice suddenly arose. While aged, it was full of power that struck down like thunder.
“Tomorrow, the Heaven’s Favorites Competition officially begins. All participants are asked to wait at the center battle ring.”
The grand voice echoed throughout every corner of the Heaven’s Favorites Palace. It replayed again and again and never rested.
At once, everyone’s gaze turned heated.
Ling Xian reacted the same.
He had already found the Nirvana Fountain so there was only one goal left. That is to be the number one hero in this world!
Now that the Heaven’s Favorites Competition is about to begin, of course his heart felt much heat.
“I can finally… compete against the other powerhouses?” Ling Xian lifted the corner of his lips, his eyes were shining with desire.
Though he had fought against several powerhouses and even killed the demonic sage body, the Heaven’s Favorites Competition is the true stage.
There, all powerhouses will surface and godly battles like never before will begin!
“I believe in you. Master, you will for sure suppress everyone and take the number one crown.” Huang Jiu Ge smiled brightly, confident towards Ling Xian.
“We’ll find out after we fight.”
Ling Xian grinned. “Let’s go. I want to see just what all the other powerhouses look like.”
Then, he hopped onto Huang Jiu Ge’s back.
Huang Jiu Ge then expanded her wings, tore through space, and headed to the center of the palace.
After flying for an entire night, they finally arrived at the core of the Heaven’s Favorites Palace by morning.
They saw a giant battle ring in the middle of the land that stretched into midair. It was constructed by expensive and valuable materials and inhibition arrays were set all over it.
It was obvious that this was to prevent the battles from destroying the ring.
Below, crowds had already formed. It was truly a mountain of people, at least several hundred thousand.
This stifled Ling Xian. But when he remembered how this competition was open to the entire world, he felt okay.
