Seize this opportunity, and step into the Venerable Realm!
Thunderous like a clap of lightning, the voice of the Blood Ancestor boomed into Lin Yi’s ears.
Suddenly, with a grand wave of his hand, the Blood Ancestor sent the bloody sun hurtling towards Lin Yi!
The bloody sun plummeted rapidly, flying towards Lin Yi, and the horrifying fluctuations it contained caused one’s courage to falter!
Everyone knew that this bloody sun had absorbed the blood energy of the entire Undying Blood Clan army. The energy it contained was immensely vast, and now it seemed that the Blood Ancestor’s intention was to let Lin Yi refine this bloody sun. But could Lin Yi truly do it?
One misstep, and he could likely explode into pieces and perish, his path coming to an end!
But while everyone else was trembling with apprehension, Lin Yi, without any hesitation, soared into the sky. The Blood God Dharma Form behind him opened its mouth wide and swallowed the bloody sun whole!
After devouring the bloody sun, Lin Yi suddenly felt an overwhelming surge of blood energy explode inside him, instantly filling every inch of his flesh!
It was as though his body was going to burst at the next moment!
Seeing Lin Yi’s body enveloped in blood energy, the phantasm of the Blood Ancestor gradually dimmed. "I have done all that I could. Whether you succeed or not now depends on your own fate," he said.
The Blood Ancestor’s eyes were fixed on Lin Yi, as if placing all his hopes on him. "I know you will inherit my legacy..."
"Because, you and I are of the same kind..."
His voice grew fainter and fainter, and the silhouette of the Blood Ancestor dispersed with the wind, completely vanishing into the sky.
Seeing the dissipating spirit of the Blood Ancestor, Shangguan Xinyan, the Heavenly Illusion King, and other powerful members of the Blood God Sect all knelt to the ground. "Farewell, Blood Ancestor!"
The Blood Ancestor, this legendary figure of the Blood God Sect, who once shone so brightly in the Eastern Domain, had finally brought down the curtain. Dust to dust, earth to earth, his last thoughts dissipated from this world.
"Lin Yi is about to break through!"
As Shangguan Xinyan was still contemplating the Blood Ancestor’s parting words, a cry of surprise came from the Heavenly Illusion King. Shangguan Xinyan immediately looked over and saw that the terrible fluctuations on Lin Yi’s body were beginning to transform, with the vibrations around him boiling like a pot of water!
"His meat body seems to have started transforming, now it’s just the crucial step—consolidating the Primordial Spirit!"
Shangguan Xinyan said.
The biggest difference between the Venerable Realm and the Sealing King Realm is that those in the Venerable Realm possess a Primordial Spirit!
Without establishing the Primordial Spirit, one cannot become a Venerable!
This is the most difficult step to achieving the Venerable status!
Many Martial Artists get stuck at the first step and are only able to claim the title of king, but cannot claim venerability. They die of old age in the Sealing King Realm, becoming bitter old kings, their bones withering away.
However, Lin Yi didn’t make them wait too long before he opened his eyes, and a sudden intense wave of soul power radiated from his body, striking at the soul. It was the fluctuation of the Primordial Spirit, imperceptible to the meat body, only perceptible to soul power!
"Lin Yi, have you formed a Primordial Spirit?"
Shangguan Xinyan looked surprised.
Lin Yi nodded slightly. "However, there’s still a bit more to go before breaking through to the Venerable Realm!"
His statement shocked everyone from the Blood God Sect. The Blood Ancestor’s astounding act of refining an entire army of hundred thousand from the Undying Blood Clan had not enabled Lin Yi to complete his breakthrough?
How incredibly powerful was Lin Yi’s meat body?
Everyone was utterly dumbfounded!
"The blood energy is too immense, it can’t be refined in a short time."
Lin Yi shook his head, "To truly ascend to the Venerable, I need more time."
He didn’t want to rush his advance to the Venerable Realm. If possible, he would prefer to fully digest the legacy bestowed by the Blood Ancestor before stepping into the Venerable Realm!
"Where is the Blood Ancestor?"
The breakthrough to the Venerable Realm was a certainty, and Lin Yi was not overly concerned. But seeing the phantasm of the Blood Ancestor had disappeared, he also had an ominous premonition.
"After completing the blood sacrifice, the Blood Ancestor completely dissipated."
Shangguan Xinyan let out a soft sigh.
Lin Yi’s expression was somber, tinged with sadness.
It was lamentable that such a formidable figure should pass away .
He should have been a superlative character in the history of the Eastern Domain, but due to the targeting by the Undying Blood Clan, he never achieved sainthood, stopping at the Half-Saint Realm.
Otherwise, the Blood God Sect should have become a powerful Holy Land and would not have declined to this state.
"Did the Blood Ancestor say anything before he vanished?"
Shangguan Xinyan nodded her head, "He said you would definitely inherit his will because you two are of the same kind..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was somewhat baffled.
What did the Blood Ancestor mean by that?
Why would he say they were the same type of person? Which aspect was he referring to?
Could it be their talent in cultivation?
Both of them were described as peerlessly monstrous, invincible in their era, unmatched among their peers—indeed, this was the most significant likeness they shared.
But was that really all there was to it?
