938- Devouring Bloodline (1)

However, shortly after Ye Qingtang left the palace, the girl in green slowly emerged from behind a huge tree.

It was the same girl one who had passed to the last stage of the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix with Ye Qingtang.

The girl had been confident that she would win when the Divine Phoenix had passed over her at the last moment.

Instead, it was Ye Qingtang who obtained the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix.

At that moment, the girl in green was looking at Ye Qingtang with ice-cold eyes. She had clearly been waiting for a long time.

The girl in green slowly walked towards Ye Qingtang.

"You have finally come out. I have been waiting here for a long time." The girl in green glared at Ye Qingtang and spoke coldly. Her eyes were filled with intense coldness.

"Oh?" Ye Qingtang stared at the girl in green and said calmly, "I have no dealings with you and don't know you. Why are you waiting here for me?"

"Nothing much. I just wanted to congratulate you," said the girl in green.

"Congratulate me?" The corners of the Ye Qingtang's mouth curved slightly, and she laughed coldly. "Thanks."

"However," said the girl in green, as she suddenly narrowed her eyes. Her tone also changed. "Good things should be shared. The inheritance of the Divine Phoenix is the power of the original Phoenix Bloodline and is very pure. Can you share some of it with me? Otherwise, with your spirit root and ability, possessing such a pure and powerful bloodline will only endanger your life and bring calamity."

The girl in green gave Ye Qingtang a disdainful look.

A mere yellow spirit root...

"What you mean is... that you intend to seize the power of my bloodline." Ye Qingtang laughed coldly as she looked at the girl in green.

But Ye Qingtang was curious. The power of a bloodline was integrated with one's body. Unlike a spirit root, which had a physical body, and hence could be dug out from the body, it was impossible to seize the power of a bloodline.

However, the girl in green seemed to be planning to seize her Phoenix Bloodline. How was she going to do that?

"Ah..." The girl in green laughed coldly. Her proud glance passed over Ye Qingtang, and her expression clearly showed her disdain. "I am not seizing; I am merely taking back. Only someone powerful can control and possess a powerful bloodline. It is not something that belongs to a weakling like you."

As she spoke, the girl's frightening aura instantly diffused and spread out in a 10-meter-wide circle that enclosed Ye Qingtang.

"Divine Arcane Supremacy..."

Ye Qingtang's eyes narrowed when she sensed the girl in green's martial aura.

The girl in green was worthy of having peak martial talents and a blue spirit root. To have achieved this grade at her age, it was no exaggeration to say that she was a genius.

If not for an accidental abortion of her plan, in the future, the girl in green would become a powerful cultivator of at least the Holy Venerate level, or perhaps even an Emperor-level supreme chief, which was above the level of Holy Venerate.

It was just that although the girl in green had reached the stage of Divine Arcane Supremacy, in this mainland where spirit energy was scarce, the girl in green's martial abilities and cultivation were repressed to the level of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eighth Heaven.

Ye Qingtang had just obtained the bloodline passed to her by the Divine Phoenix and also possessed the Mirror of Illusions. Her own martial abilities had reached the stage of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven, so she had no reason to fear the girl in green.

"You think you can beat me?" The eyes of the girl in green were cold and remote. "Do you think that you have nothing to fear because you have obtained the inheritance of the original phoenix?"

939 - Devouring Bloodline (2)

Before Ye Qingtang could speak, a voice suddenly rang out in her mind.

"Miss Ye, this girl has a mutated demonic bloodline, which has evolved into the Devouring Bloodline. She can devour the power of all the bloodlines in the world. She is looking for an opportunity to devour your bloodline. Remember."

"Ling Yan..."

Ye Qingtang frowned slightly. It was indeed Ling Yan's voice.

However, it was a voice that Ling Yan had sealed a long time ago with the power of karma.

This meant that Ling Yan had known long ago that she would meet this girl in green and that this situation would develop...

Ling Yan's schemes aside, Ye Qingtang was shocked by the girl in green's Devouring Bloodline.

The Devouring Bloodline was also called the Taboo Bloodline. Since the time of the gods and sages, it was an invincible bloodline that had been cursed.

This was not to say that the Devouring Bloodline itself was particularly strong. However, the Devouring Bloodline could devour all the bloodlines in the world. Even a god's bloodline could be easily devoured and converted for one's own use.

Furthermore, it was already very difficult for most ordinary cultivators to possess the power of one bloodline. But the Devouring Bloodline was different. It could devour millions of bloodlines and integrate them into one body. Having the Devouring Bloodline was equivalent to possessing the power of all the bloodlines in the world.

It could be said that whoever possessed the Devouring Bloodline could devour any bloodline in the world.

There were many kinds of bloodlines in the world, each with a different effect. But all of them could give its possessor huge strength.

The Devouring Bloodline that could devour all bloodlines was so powerful and dangerous that it was terrifying.

However, the Devouring Bloodline was very rare. Even in primordial times, it had only appeared transiently.

"What's the matter? Are you scared now?" The girl in green was looking at Ye Qingtang with a calm and icy expression. She continued to press towards Ye Qingtang at a moderate pace.

Ye Qingtang ignored the girl. She was still pondering the meaning of Ling Yan's words.

The meaning of the voice that Ling Yan had sealed was amply clear: she should allow the girl in green to devour the power of her bloodline.

However, Ye Qingtang was unable to comprehend Ling Yan's line of thought.

Why should the power of her bloodline be devoured by the girl in green?

"Could it be that the Immortal and Buddha Bloodline..."

Ye Qingtang suddenly frowned slightly, as if she had thought of something.

Besides the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix's inheritance, an Immortal and Buddha Bloodline existed in her body. Based on what the Divine Phoenix had said, the Heart of the Heavenly Dao could be nurtured in her body because of the immense power of the Immortal and Buddha Bloodline...

However, the girl in green possessed the Devouring Bloodline and could devour all the bloodlines in the world. This meant that her Immortal and Buddha Bloodline would also be devoured by her.

In that case, after the Immortal and Buddha Bloodline in her body had been devoured, perhaps the Heart of the Heavenly Dao would also vanish... or perhaps, the girl who had devoured her Immortal and Buddha Bloodline would become the new vessel...

More and more clues and guesses continued to churn in Ye Qingtang's mind.

At that moment, Ye Qingtang was unable to ascertain whether her guess was correct.

However, Ye Qingtang did not have time to think any further. The girl in green's toes lightly pushed off from the ground, and she leaped over to Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang immediately pushed her bewilderment aside and drew her Regicide Sky blade. With a flick of her wrist, her sword instantly swept downward towards the girl in green.

Swoosh!

940 - Devouring Bloodline (3)

A piercing sound filled the space. This area seemed to lie prostrate and tremble under the sword. The scarlet sword gleam filled the air, destroying everything in its path and cutting a wide swath.

However, just as Ye Qingtang drew the Regicide Sky Blade, the girl vanished completely. It was as if she had melted into the air, and she was nowhere to be found.

Boom, boom, boom!!

The next moment, a thunderous crash rang out. The scarlet sword gleam had smashed a mountain peak a thousand meters away, pulverizing it. The gravel fell to the ground like rain.

"You're pretty powerful."

The girl suddenly tore through space, and she walked out from an unknown space.

"Space-transfer?!"

Ye Qingtang was stunned when she saw the girl tear space and walk out from it.

This girl's skills were truly frightening...

Even an Emperor-level cultivator could not compare with this girl's understanding and ability to manipulate space!

If not for the fact that they were currently in this mainland were spirit energy was scarce, who knew how terrifying her real ability would be?

However, before Ye Qingtang could recover her senses, the girl's right palm lightly touched Ye Qingtang's left shoulder.

She said coldly, "Actually, the Divine Phoenix got some things wrong. The Divine Phoenix ascertained that my spirit root was blue. However, I have no spirit root. The blue spirit root was merely an illusion that I created. I could have even created a purple spirit root."

The instant the girl in green finished speaking, a purple spirit root exploded within her body. The terrifying power of her spirit root seemed to rend both heaven and earth. All things prostrated themselves and trembled.

This girl... can actually create an illusion of a spirit root?!

Ye Qingtang was shocked. In her previous life, Ye Qingtang had been robbed of her spirit root, so her body had no spirit root.

She had sought ways to create an illusion of a spirit root, but all these methods could at most create an illusion of the lowest level red spirit root.

But this girl in green could even create an illusion of a purple spirit root!

In addition, based on what Ye Qingtang knew about the ability to create an illusion of a spirit root, one could only create an illusion of its form. There was no way to create an illusion of the true power of a spirit root.

But this girl was different!

With such shocking skills, a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand Ye You's was no match for her.

"That's not right. In this world, only a reincarnated true god can create an illusion of a spirit root..." Ye Qingtang suddenly realized that something was amiss, and she frowned as she spoke.

"Oh... you do have some knowledge. Have you found me out?" The girl in green's lips curved upwards slightly, and she suddenly smiled mysteriously.

"You are a reincarnation of a true god..." Ye Qingtang stared at the girl in green.

The so-called reincarnation of a true god occurred when a true god died and was reborn as a human. Only when its god-like powers were awakened could it be called a reincarnation of a true god.

And only a reincarnation of a true god could easily create the illusion of any spirit root!

The girl in green did not respond to Ye Qingtang. She only said coldly, "I am pleased to accept the bloodline of the original Divine Phoenix."

As the girl spoke, Ye Qingtang felt the bloodline within her body boiling. It was as if even her soul was being sucked out of her body.

"Not bad. The bloodline of the original Divine Phoenix is truly powerful. I am satisfied," the girl in green said coldly.

"Ling Yan, what do you mean by allowing this person to devour the power of my bloodline..." Ye Qingtang frowned deeply. Ling Yan's words reverberated in her mind.

941 - Devouring Bloodline (4)

Ye Qingtang did not understand Ling Yan's true intentions, but she instinctively chose to believe Ling Yan. She had a strange feeling that Ling Yan would never harm her.

Otherwise, although Ye Qingtang was no match for the girl in green, the girl in green could not prevent her from fleeing either.

The moment the original Divine Phoenix's Bloodline was sucked out of her body, the Heavenly Demon Pearl that Ye Qingtang had swallowed exploded in an unimaginable burst of Heavenly Demon Aura.

A furious roar exploded within Ye Qingtang's body. The power of the original Heavenly Demon gushed forth like a flood breaking its dam. It began to strip the power from the bloodline of the girl in green.

"Original Heavenly Demon Aura?!"

The girl in green's pupils constricted, and her expression changed drastically.

Ye Qingtang had original Heavenly Demon Aura in her body?!

Furthermore, Ye Qingtang had not yet fully digested the original Heavenly Demon Aura. When she sensed the incursion by the Heavenly Demon Aura that had begun to devour her bloodline, the girl was enraged.

"You... who exactly are you... why do you have original Heavenly Demon Aura within you?!" The girl in green shouted coldly at Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang had not moved at all. It was as if her body was beyond her control. Instead, it was being controlled by the power of the Heavenly Demon Pearl.

After a short while, the girl in green gritted her teeth and tried to move the hand that she had placed on Ye Qingtang's shoulder.

However, the girl in green did not succeed. It was as if the hand that she had placed on Ye Qingtang's shoulders had grown roots. It would not budge even an inch.

As the minutes and seconds ticked by, the girl in green's face became ashen.

"You... you dare to devour my Devouring Bloodline!" The girl's expression was cold and vicious. She could clearly sense Ye Qingtang devouring the Devouring Bloodline in her body bit by bit.

The reality was that Ye Qingtang did not want to devour the girl in green's bloodline, but her body was being controlled by the power of the Heavenly Demon Pearl. All this was caused by the Heavenly Demon Pearl and was not Ye Qingtang's intention.

Puff!

After fifteen minutes, the girl in green spat out fresh blood. She staggered as she stumbled backward.

"My Devouring Bloodline!"

The girl in green gritted her teeth as she glared at Ye Qingtang.

Her Devouring Bloodline had been seized by Ye Qingtang!

Although she usually devoured the bloodlines of others, the girl in green had not dreamt that today, her bloodline would be devoured instead!

The aura of the Heavenly Demon Pearl had dissipated. Ye Qingtang was now in control of her body again, and her expression was filled with shock.

Ye Qingtang clearly sensed that an extremely strong and potent bloodline had been added to her body. The power of this bloodline seemed to appear out of nowhere.

"It was the Heavenly Demon Pearl that devoured the girl in green's Devouring Bloodline instead..." Ye Qingtang's expression was rather strange.

The Heavenly Demon Pearl originated from the body of the original Heavenly Demon. It was the accumulation of a lifetime of essence of the original Heavenly Demon. The girl's Devouring Bloodline was evolved from the Heavenly Demon's Bloodline. Just now, when the girl in green used the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline to devour the power of her bloodline, it had angered the Heavenly Demon Pearl... Instead, the Heavenly Demon Pearl had seized the Devouring Bloodline of the girl in green, and Ye Qingtang had reaped the benefits...

"That means... I now have the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline..." Ye Qingtang snapped out of her reverie after a long time. This bloodline could be said to be the most terrifying and powerful bloodline in the world. However, Ye Qingtang had now unaccountably seized the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline of the girl in green.

942 - Devouring Bloodline (5)

Ye Qingtang looked at the girl in green and said coldly, "Your Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline is truly terrifying. But I must thank you."

Ye Qingtang served the girl in green with her own words.

With just the Divine Phoenix Bloodline, she had exchanged it for the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline.

As she spoke, the corners of Ye Qingtang's lips curved upwards into a bone-chilling smile. She strode over to the girl in green.

Who knew how many powerful bloodlines the girl in green had devoured using her Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline?

Now, she herself possessed the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline. If she could devour all the girl's bloodlines...

"Good... very good..." The girl in green stared at Ye Qingtang. Her expression wa gloomy. "Change is bound to happen. Today, you have seized my Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline. In the future, I will force you to repay me a million times over!"

When the girl in green finished speaking, her entire person suddenly integrated into space and she vanished on the spot as if she had evaporated.

Ye Qingtang only relaxed when she was certain that the girl in green had left completely.

This situation was completely unexpected. Ye Qingtang had been content with the original Phoenix Bloodline from the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix. Now, she had seized the girl in green's Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline in some strange way and could devour the power of all the bloodlines in this world!

The Devouring Bloodline was a power that was absolutely taboo. It could make a cultivator invincible but could also force them into eternal damnation.

Ye Qingtang was certain that once others knew that she possessed the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline, she would be relentlessly pursued to the death.

Possessing the Devouring Bloodline was a sin. In this world, no one hoped that the power of their bloodline would be devoured by someone else. As a result, once someone who possessed the Devouring Bloodline was discovered, the results were easily predictable.

"What the f*ck... Devouring bloodline..." Little white tiger suddenly poked its head out of Ye Qingtang's arms. With a shocked expression, it said, "You are incredibly lucky! It's actually the Devouring Bloodline... this kind of bloodline can easily devour the power of us fiendcelestial beasts."

"Oh?" Ye Qingtang was shocked.

The Devouring Bloodline seldom appeared in this world. In both her lives, Ye Qingtang had heard of the Devouring Bloodline but had never seen it.

"Only the most outstanding among the Heavenly Demon Clan can possess the Devouring Bloodline... Further, the Heavenly Demon Clan is an alien race. In primordial times, it almost extinguished all living beings. In the end, the true god created a barrier and drove them into an alien space. However, the Heavenly Demon Clan said that they would return someday..." the little white tiger said thoughtfully.

Ye Qingtang now possessed the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline. If the Heavenly Demon Clan should break through the seal one day, would they take Ye Qingtang for one of their own...

"This is the first time I have come into contact with the Devouring Bloodline... You said just now that the Devouring Bloodline can even devour the power of the fiendcelestial beasts?" Ye Qingtang asked as she looked at the little white tiger.

"That's right." The little white tiger nodded vigorously.

"There is no power that the Devouring Bloodline cannot devour! Even if you meet the true god, you can devour all his power and transform it into a part of yourself. That's why the Devouring Bloodline is called the Taboo Bloodline of Power. If the bloodlines were ranked, the Devouring Bloodline would be superior to the power of thousands of other bloodlines. It is one of the powerful primordial bloodlines."
