The legendary Blackwing King’s voice was soft and alluring, with an indescribable magnetism. His appearance was nearly flawless, and his deep blue eyes were like the boundless sea and starry sky, profound and endless. If one had to find a flaw, it might be that his beauty leaned towards the androgynous.
At this moment, Qianye’s shock was beyond words.
Anduoya was still alive?
A dark lord, a second-generation progenitor, who had displayed various powers since entering this space—if he were still alive, it would be enough to shatter the delicate strategic balance between the dark races and the empire.
Qianye had long known that this journey would be perilous, but he never imagined facing the Blackwing King himself.
Anduoya extended his hand to Qianye, saying, “I am truly surprised that you could come to me so quickly. Now, let me take a closer look at you.”
Anduoya’s eyes once again reflected Qianye’s image, while Qianye’s body began to glow with a faint blue light, gradually becoming translucent, clearly revealing the flow of his primordial force and blood energy.
Anduoya suddenly let out a sound of surprise, his eyes narrowing in thought. After a moment, he said slowly, “A human? Surprising, a hybrid could have such pure holy blood. What is your name?”
“Qianye.” Qianye was completely calm, knowing from the moment he saw the Blackwing King that the secret of his body’s abnormality would be revealed. He just didn’t expect Anduoya to misunderstand, assuming he was a hybrid.
Anduoya still looked a bit confused, drawing several lines in the air with his finger, forming a rune before erasing it.
The Blackwing King shook his head, saying, “This is not a major issue. Generally, hybrid bloodlines are impure, but your dawn primordial force is exceptionally pure, indicating a top-tier talent among humans. In our world blessed by darkness, however, the dawn lineage cannot control the essence. As your holy blood continues to awaken, it will naturally suppress and absorb other impurities.”
Qianye’s heart skipped a beat, and he felt a chill run down his spine. Although Anduoya’s misinterpretation meant he was safe, the future described by the Blackwing King did not bring him any joy. The so-called suppression and absorption of impurities meant he would eventually become a pure-blooded vampire.
Raising his voice slightly, Anduoya continued, “But what truly astounds me is that, despite your weak bloodline, its purity already surpasses all original species and approaches that of a progenitor!”
Anduoya grew more excited as he spoke, finally standing up from his throne and pacing back and forth on the platform. “You may not understand what this means! It means that, as long as you survive, there is a high likelihood of producing a drop of original blood in the foreseeable future, and the Monroe clan will witness the birth of another progenitor!”
Anduoya paused, still looking very perplexed, and said, “Although our bloodlines share the same origin, you seem to have only recently left the state of a newborn. According to generations, you should only be infinitely close to my bloodline’s power, but never surpass it. Yet, your blood’s purity is already the same as mine. This is incredible, no, it defies common sense.”
Qianye’s understanding of the vampire lineage did not extend to the level of bloodline inheritance, so he could barely follow the Blackwing King’s latter statements. Moreover, since the great lord’s initial judgment was off, the rest of the conversation was likely to be far from the mark, and Qianye did not pay much attention.
However, something occurred to him. On that day, when he practiced the ancient Song scroll’s Mystic Chapter, the original golden blood energy was consumed by the dark vortex, resulting in the emergence of dark golden blood energy.
Could it be that the Mystic Chapter not only purified dark primordial force but also the vampire bloodline?
Qianye, of course, could not follow the path of vampire awakening, but if the Song scroll could purify golden blood energy, it might further purify the dark golden blood energy, eventually producing original blood. If original blood could also be purified… what would be the end result of the Song scroll?
Qianye became lost in thought, the possibility, even just thinking about it, was overwhelming.
Anduoya returned to his throne, sighing helplessly, and said, “Unfortunately, I am just a fragment of the original consciousness, incapable of unraveling this mystery. Let’s consider this a gift from fate for now.”
Qianye was taken aback. Since he entered the hall, he had always felt the lord’s imposing aura, only to find out it was merely a manifestation of a consciousness.
Qianye couldn’t help but ask, “Where is the real Blackwing King?”
“You should know that the highest layer of our world is where the two suns and the planetary belt reside, and it is indeed reachable. The original found a way to leave our world and explore the unknown beyond. After arranging everything, he set off on a long journey.”
Even with airships, traveling across continents was fraught with danger and unexpected events. Climbing to the top of the world where the suns and planets resided sounded like a dream, but both the dark faction and the human empire had records of such journeys. An emperor of the Qin Empire had also gone missing in connection with this.
Qianye was speechless, unsure how to judge such an action. With Anduoya’s power, influence, wealth, and the long life of a vampire, he chose to embark on a journey with no return, displaying a breadth of spirit and courage that Qianye genuinely admired, even though they were enemies.
However, Qianye sensed something in Anduoya’s words. “Arrangements? Was everything that happened in the grand hall predicted?”
Anduoya smiled, “Do you mean the steady supply of flesh-driven energy brought by the crystal key or the fall of the Thirteen Generals? Oh, kindred blood, your understanding of the human heart is still too simple. Even divination can only capture the most plausible thread among countless fates. The original merely set the rules for this space, and the outcome is determined by each individual’s actions.”
He held out his hand, and a point of sapphire light appeared in his palm. Smiling, he said, “We don’t have much time. It’s time to give you the most important thing. This is the True Vision Eye, one of our bloodline’s most crucial abilities.”
The blue light flew from Anduoya’s hand and merged into Qianye’s body.
Anduoya continued, “Though the purity of your blood is already on par with mine, it is still too weak. This is a drop of my original blood. It will help you activate the True Vision Eye and the Primordial Wings.”
A drop of blood flew from Anduoya’s fingertip and transformed into a fist-sized crystal in the air. Strangely, the crystal was not the expected gold or blood-red but a deep sapphire blue of the sky and sea.
As the blood crystal touched Qianye’s hand, it burst into a ball of blue light, enveloping him.
Then, Qianye discovered that his dark golden blood energy had formed a cocoon inside him, and the sapphire lights, like moths to a flame, converged on it. When all the light points entered, the blood cocoon began to pulsate, and for a moment, it felt like a second heart was beating in his body.
The powerful pulse made Qianye’s consciousness hazy, and an irresistible drowsiness overcame him. He slowly collapsed to the ground, vaguely hearing Anduoya’s surprised voice, “Ah, those two guns are actually in your hands, what an unbelievably coincidental…”
After an unknown period, Qianye awoke, seeing the high dome of the hall. Turning his head, he saw Anduoya sitting on the throne. However, Anduoya now appeared somewhat blurry, with parts of his image occasionally distorting.
“You’re awake?” Anduoya, sensing Qianye’s confusion, smiled. “During the transmission of holy blood, you enter a deep sleep. You’ve been asleep for a month. But time here has no meaning, so if we use the spatial gate as a reference, it’s only been a few hours.”
Unable to resist, Qianye looked around the hall, saying, “This is truly a magnificent feat.”
With a gentle touch, Anduoya summoned two short guns into the air.
Qianye reached out to take them, feeling a bit puzzled. These weren’t the Twin Flowers, but they looked similar, with additional light blue patterns, indicating a significant modification to their primordial force arrays.
“I used these guns in my youth, just for fun. I never imagined they would end up in your hands. Fate is truly unpredictable. Their primordial force arrays are now complete. Although I’m just a fragment of the original consciousness and can’t upgrade them, having the Primordial Wings is enough.”
“The original left you one of his true masterpieces, perhaps unique in this world. It’s called Anduoya’s Mystic World.”
Qianye suddenly noticed a necklace around his neck, simple in design, with a pendant of a small sapphire, seemingly unremarkable.
“You can activate it with your bloodline power. Inside, there is a hidden space, not as vast as this place, but stable, tangible, and permanently existent.”
Qianye tried to channel blood energy into the necklace, and his consciousness entered a special space. It was gray and surrounded by transparent barriers. The space was not large, about a few cubic meters, but it was impressive.
By now, Anduoya’s image was extremely blurry, and the hall began to shake, with stones falling from the ceiling.
“This place is about to be destroyed. Go, the Primordial Wings will take you away.”
Qianye was silent, not sure what to say. He bowed to Anduoya, and the Primordial Wings unfolded behind him.
Just as Qianye stepped out of the hall, Anduoya’s voice rang in his ears again, “Ah, terrible, I almost forgot to tell you the most important thing.”
The Blackwing King’s voice was relaxed and slightly amused, but Qianye had a very bad feeling.
