The just-discovered power of the Ancestral Bloodline that Bai Zemin suddenly awakened turned out to be much more terrifying than he anticipated after reading the description of this "skill" from his records.
Unfortunately, this "sword" was too sharp and if a novice tried to wield it they would most likely end up cutting themselves; Bai Zemin himself was proof of that and had he not reacted in ti out of pure instinct he probably would have died without a graveyard in the most ridiculous and unreasonable way for soone who survived the apocalypse and the changes in the world.
"But daddy is not soone who will back down just because the road is covered with rocks and holes," Bai Zemin smiled slightly, "Since this power belongs to it will naturally have to obey . It's only matter of ti until I get used to it, and by then..."
By then, he would have the most terrifying weapon of all.
As he looked at the Rank 3 sword whose Durability was brought straight to 0 with a light flick of his finger covered in purple lightning from his Ancestral Bloodline, Bai Zemin's eyes sparkled brightly.
This was a power that needed to be studied slowly but surely, and Bai Zemin would absolutely devote as much ti to it as necessary after witnessing how terrifying it could beco.
Now that his active skills were in a mysterious state where they could not be used since his records were "semi-broken", coupled with the fact that he also could not use his strongest trump card -Overlap Regeneration-, Bai Zemin badly needed a trump card strong enough to save his life in tis of crisis or to overco battles he normally could not defeat.
However, that was for another day.
Today was the day he and the love of his life, Lilith, bowed to heaven and earth in search of karmic blessing after taking the most sacred vow two living beings could take.
"I should return." A gentle smile hung at the corner of his mouth at the thought of the beautiful maiden who was probably still sleeping in their marriage bed.
...
It was just as Bai Zemin expected, because when he left the pocket world of the Collector's Pocket Watch he saw that Lilith was still sleeping placidly. Her chest was rising and falling rhythmically, her breath was soft, and her eyes were delicately closed in such a way that her long pale eyelashes fell over her cheekbones like silken curtains.
Although today was going to be the happiest day in both of their lives, Lilith suffered a great ntal shock because of her fear when she revealed the whole truth to Bai Zemin; fear of being hated, ostracized, and pushed aside by the man who was more important than her own life in her heart.
Of course, Bai Zemin would never hate her even after knowing the whole truth. At the end of the day, Lilith never hurt him either directly or indirectly no matter if at first her plan was to do so.
One needed to rember that even after having lost a significant amount of levels and deep records, Lilith was a level 400 Fourth Order soul evolver in her own right. In short, she basically would not tire after not sleeping for several months as she was exactly at the boundary point that separated Lower Existences from Higher Existences.
However, Lilith herself was very worried as she was still sleeping even now. It was clear that the ntal and sentintal shock she experienced was not small at all.
As Bai Zemin's eyes overflowed with gentleness, a deep pain that he himself did not notice shone in his eyes.
Suddenly, a deep, elderly voice echoed inside the silent room.
"You have developed a very powerful Heart Demon."
Bai Zemin's expression changed and long before his mind processed what was happening the muscles in his body tightened, instantly going into combat mode out of pure instinct etched into his bones.
"You don't need to be alert, I'm not your enemy... I never could." Said the voice.
A faint crimson colored light shone on Lilith's chest followed by the apparition of a small dot of said color. When the crimson dot appeared, the temperature in the room rose sharply but like an illusion, everything returned to normal the next instant.
"This is..." Bai Zemin's pupils contracted slightly and an expression of disbelief took shape on his face as he stared at the glowing crimson speck of light.
"A Divine Fla?" he muttered in shock.
How could Lilith have a Divine Fla?
Bai Zemin was absolutely certain that she wasn't hiding it from him!
However, then what was the thing in front of him?
More importantly... did the Divine Fla speak?
"Divine Fla? Is that what you call us?" The voice of the Fla of Burning Wrath for so reason sounded awkward.
Despite being confused and surprised, Bai Zemin was no longer that naive young man from the past even though his age had not changed much. He quickly regained his composure and said, "Ten flas capable of killing gods and demons by themselves. If you are not a Divine Fla then what are you?"
The "intelligent spirit" of the Fla of Burning Wrath remained silent for a mont before slowly saying, "It doesn't matter... It doesn't matter what na you give us now. Even though you are you, you are no longer you... I guess it's not wrong to have so changes until every piece falls where it needs to fall."
"What do you an?" Bai Zemin frowned.
The Fla of Burning Wrath did not answer his question and instead said sothing completely different: "Child, enter into a Soul Contract with ."
"What?" Bai Zemin opened his eyes wide and subconsciously looked at the sleeping Lilith: "Don't you have a Soul Contract with her? Else how is it possible..."
"I only entered into a Soul Contract with this girl to get to you." The Fla of Burning Wrath interrupted him and calmly explained, "She told that her partner ford a separate Soul Contract with two Obl... Divine Flas. At first I didn't believe her not only because it is impossible for the soul of those below the... forget it, let's call it Lower Existences. It is impossible for a Lower Existence to form a Soul Contract with what you call a Divine Fla as their soul would collapse imdiately. Even powerful Seventh Order Higher Existences can hardly bear it sowhat grudgingly."
Bai Zemin knew that Divine Flas were extrely terrifying "existences", but from the tone of the Fla of Burning Wrath it didn't take him long to realize that everything he knew was still nothing more than a nine oxen's hair.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly as he realized that even after his strength grew so much he was still as ignorant as ever when it ca to the vastness of the universe and its mysterious secrets.
The Fla of Burning Wrath continued, "But when I first saw you half a year ago when you were in a coma I finally understood the reason why those two fellows subjected themselves to you subconsciously even in the weakened state they are in."
Bai Zemin already knew that both Endless Blue Lotus Fla and Heaven Devouring Fla had yet to release their full potential. As for why reason they were weakened, he guessed that it was due to having to consu too much energy to maintain themselves after losing their forr masters.
"Before you answer whether you agree to form a Soul Contract with or not there is one thing I have to warn you about beforehand." Fla of Burning Wrath's voice suddenly beca serious. As if it was worried that Bai Zemin wouldn't pay attention to its words, the fla spoke slowly and seriously, "Those two fellows can't even release 20% of their real power; they didn't even recover enough to convey their thoughts and battle techniques to you. But I am different. When you enter into a contract with your destructive strength will soar to a whole new level to the point that even I can't foresee."
Before Bai Zemin could even feel happy, the Fla of Burning Wrath continued and poured a bucket of cold water over his hot emotions: "Because your Ancestral Bloodline has just awakened and even suffered a strange undiscoverable mutation, our union will result in sothing I myself don't know about... But what I do know is that you will have to go through a capital baptism where if things go wrong you might even end up reducing those you love the most to ashes."
