Chapter 67: The Bloodline Begins To Awaken

“Yes, this should be the right way forward. If I want to condense my bloodline, I’ll need to consistently pour all of my true qi and blood essence into my inner core!”

Yuchi, who had returned to the Netherworld Sea prison, stood by the shore with a very calm expression.

Bloodline awakening was essentially burning the blood essence of the entire body to awaken the body’s inheritance of the ancient times.

For Yuchi, it was about pouring all of his attributes into his inner core. As his attributes decreased, he felt something revive in his inner core!

It was as if a mysterious power was gradually being activated by him. After pouring in 2000 points from each of his attributes, he finally saw the bloodline awakening notification!

[Bloodline awakening: 1%]

Using this as a measure, 2000 points from each of his attributes were equivalent to 1% progress in his bloodline awakening. Therefore, if he wanted to completely awaken his bloodline, he would need 200,000 points from each of his attributes.

Yuchi still had 70,000 points in each of his attributes. If he used them all to activate his inner core, the bloodline awakening of his inner core should reach around 35%. However, at this time, all of his attributes would be reduced to a single point.

Under such circumstances, even if he could still fish for some of the ancient monsters to increase his attributes, the speed of doing so would be too slow.

Therefore, the correct approach was to put aside his bloodline awakening for now and focus all his efforts on increasing all his attributes.

Once all his attributes reached 200,000, he would consider whether or not to use all 200,000 points to awaken his bloodline in one go.

In any case, Yuchi finally had a clear path to reach his goal of conquering the legendary goddess Medusa!

At this moment, a notification suddenly appeared in his mind that a fish had taken the bait.

Yuchi stopped thinking and looked at the Netherworld Sea in front of him. Then, he did what he usually did.

He leapt off the shore and into the Netherworld Sea.

10 seconds later, after Yuchi defeated a monster, his eyes showed a hint of satisfaction.

[Catch: Netherworld Sea – Nether Swordfish]

[Grade: S++]

[Attribute: Ghost]

[Hellfire Dance: The Nether Swordfish can summon a hellfire tornado to attack the enemy.]

[Netherworld Ghostly Steps: The Nether Swordfish’s movements are difficult to detect. It is extremely ghostly, like a dream or an illusion, and it follows you like a shadow.]

[Netherworld Bloodsucking: After Nether Swordfish kills an enemy, it can extract the blood essence from its enemy’s body to increase its own strength!]

[Introduction: The Nether Swordfish was second only to the Three Kings. It is very powerful and can burn the blood essence in its body to fight its enemies. If other netherworld monsters encountered it in the Netherworld Sea, they had better pray that it did not feel like killing! The Nether Swordfish was also one of the rare ancient monsters in the Netherworld Sea that could increase its strength by killing other monsters!

Yuchi had not seen such a good skill in a long time.

Hellfire Dance was the upgraded version of Hellfire, and a pretty big upgrade to boot!

Originally, Yuchi could only conjure one cluster of Hellfire flames, but now that he had the Hellfire Dance skill, he could finally replace the original Hellfire skill!

It really was not easy to find a good skill.

The Hellfire skill was very easy to cast and had quite a good effect, so it actually took so many years to replace.

Netherworld Ghostly Steps was a movement skill, and there were similar skills among the Yuchi arsenal of skills, but he was not interested in movement skills.

Perhaps it was more accurate to say that, not only was he uninterested in movement skills, he was uninterested in any life-saving skills.

From Yuchi’s perspective, once one had a life-saving skill, one would develop a mentality of ensuring one’s safety first.

This was not suitable for Yuchi at all, so he directly ignored all these potentially useful skills and chose to forget about them. If anyone else knew of this, they would definitely call him a lunatic; one who would fight with others to the end. Of course, they were not exactly wrong in saying that.

As for the third skill, Netherworld Bloodsucking, he needed to kill enemies to increase his strength, but he did not know where the enemies were.

This technique might be useful in the future. In the future, when he encountered a large number of enemies, he could directly swap this skill into the lineup. Even if it could not enhance his overall combat power, it would greatly strengthen himself when he killed the enemy. This was not bad. It could be considered as taking a risk in exchange for benefits.

Yuchi went out into the depths of the Netherworld Sea alone. When he was a good distance from the prison, a fire tornado appeared in front of him. This fire tornado was only two meters tall, but it was as fierce as a hurricane.

Not to mention, this fire tornado could actually expand rapidly as he infused his true qi into it!

When it first appeared, it was only two meters tall, but a second later, it had doubled in height!

After another second, it doubled in height again.

In just over a dozen seconds, the fire tornado had covered the sky. The Hellfire flames were like liquid lava, whistling wildly as they coursed through the sky. Blood-red true qi could be seen flowing within the flames.

A huge whirlpool appeared on the surface of the Netherworld Sea. It was like God’s hand was stirring a chopstick in a large jar. The huge whirlpool appeared underneath Yuchi’s feet. The sound as the water churned was vast and earth-shaking, and waves spread out from the center of the whirlpool like a tsunami!

The true qi in his body was decreasing rapidly, but Yuchi stopped there.

If he were to unleash Hellfire Dance within the city, the entire city would be engulfed in flames.

After the Hellfire Dance was deactivated, the whirlpool of Netherworld Sea water that had been swept up into the tornado fell back down, which caused the wind and waves to violently lash the surroundings. Yuchi, who was standing in the middle of it all, finally had a smile on his face.

“Not bad.”

“This Nether Swordfish is not bad. It had at least two useful skills.”

[Name: Yuchi]

[Bloodline awakening: 1%]

[Constitution: 71380]

[Strength: 71380]

[Speed: 71380]

[Skill 1: Thunder Dragon’s Fury. Summon the Thunder Dragon to assist you, making your enemies tremble.]

[Skill 2: Netherworld Bloodsucking: Like a Nether Swordfish, when you kill an enemy, you can extract the blood essence from your enemy’s body to increase your own strength!]

[Skill 3: Hellfire Dance: Like a Nether Swordfish, you can summon a hellfire tornado to attack the enemy.]

[Skill 4: Blood Spike. Gather the blood essence and qi in your body and use them to condense a blood spike. The wounds caused by it are extremely difficult to heal and will bleed continuously!]

Yuchi replaced the Enrage and Hellfire skills with the Netherworld Bloodsucking and Hellfire Dance skills.

The reason why Hellfire was replaced by Hellfire Dance was simple.

Hellfire Dance’s large-scale destructive power was quite powerful. Even though the skill’s overall damage was not as high as the Thunder Dragon’s Fury, it was relatively controllable in terms of power consumption.

The reason why he abandoned the Enrage skill was even simpler.

For the longest time, there had been very few ancient monsters that could force him into a difficult situation in battle. Currently, he had more than 70000 points in each attribute. Under such circumstances, nothing in the Netherworld Sea could last more than 20 seconds in a fight with him, except for Queen Medusa.

Since that was the case, the skill was useless, so he simply replaced it with the Netherworld Bloodsucking skill.

“I was supposed to spend 10 years in the Netherworld Sea prison.”

“After my 10-year prison sentence is over, I should have been able to experience all of the ancient monsters the Netherworld Sea has to offer.”

“Except for Medusa…”

Yuchi’s eyes were filled with longing when he thought of the Empress of the Three Kings.

Medusa was really strong.

Her bloodline suppressed everyone, and her majesty inspired awe. He could not help but admire her from the bottom of his heart.

“If I can kill Medusa, that would definitely be the happiest thing in the world. Medusa should also feel gratified,” Yuchi said in a self-deprecating manner.

He looked at the vast Netherworld Sea, and his heart was filled with energy.
