Chapter 3: Incredible rewards, speed through this world from now on!
The blood, upon entry, was slightly astringent!
A sweet, metallic taste filled his mouth!
The next second, a strange surge of heat rose from his Dantian, spreading like wildfire, instantly permeating his limbs, bones, and even the depths of his soul!
"Ugh!!!"
"Pain!"
"So much pain!!!"
The intense pain from his heart and the depths of his soul made Ning Ye clutch his chest, his teeth clenched tightly, veins bulging on his forehead. Sweat instantly drenched his back as he knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
Clang!!!
Under the bright moonlight.
Wisps of eerie black smoke rose from Ning Ye's body, continuously drifting towards the sky. In that instant, the black smoke seemed to dye the bright moon above a dark color, casting endless dark shadows!
Even more terrifying were the bewitching, strange black runes that surfaced on his skin like mayflies.
These runes seemed to come alive, converging towards the space between his brows like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.
All the runes condensed into a small blood-moon demonic seal, which then gradually vanished into Ning Ye's forehead.
At this moment, time itself seemed to twist!
Though he was blind, he felt as if he were standing on the River of Time in a trance, bathed in countless stars, witnessing a corner of the future!
In that distant future, he saw endless darkness sweeping across the continent, with a blood moon hanging high in the Nine Heavens!
Beneath the blood moon, seductive crimson Higanbana bloomed. Each flower was a world, and with the wilting of a flower, a world perished!
At the end of the darkness, he saw a graceful figure with her hands clasped behind her back, facing away from all living beings!
At the same time, he heard the magnetic, mature laughter unique to a woman!
Immediately after, he heard the terrifying echoes of the churning World Sea, the fall of all gods and demons, and the wailing of all Buddhas!
'In that future...'
'Is it her?'
'Do I now have the same rank of Great Villain setup as her?'
His thoughts stopped there, and the vision vanished.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for drinking the Reverse Moon — Blood of Heaven and successfully obtaining the Supreme Rank Bloodline — Reverse Moon - Three Lives Body!]
Reverse Moon - Three Lives Body: Supreme Rank Bloodline. [Activating the Bloodline grants Divine Rank Comprehension Ability!]
Reverse Moon - Ultimate Intent: The first combat inhibition. Activating it will stimulate Bloodline power, instantly unleashing the Host's potential, erupting with 10 to 100 times extraordinary combat power.
[System Notification: The amplification multiple will increase as the Host's cultivation realm improves.]
Reverse Moon - Heavenly Prohibition: The second combat inhibition. Activating it will cause the Physical Body and Divine Soul to instantly break through the Heavenly Dao's shackles, achieving extreme sublimation, and instantly raising one's cultivation by a major realm.
[System Notification: Requires 10,000 Heavenly Mandate Essence to activate.]
Reverse Moon - Immortal Slaying: The third combat inhibition, involving the domain of time and space.
[System Notification: Requires 100,000 Heavenly Mandate Essence + Host reaching 10,000 years lifespan to activate.]
"Seems... not bad!"
Ning Ye gasped, looking at the descriptions of the first two Bloodline combat inhibitions, and nodded.
Ultimate Intent, capable of amplifying combat power by up to a hundredfold, becoming more heaven-defying in the late stage!
Heavenly Prohibition, instantly raising one's cultivation by a major realm—this could only be described as exaggerated!
Immortal Slaying, the mysterious third combat inhibition, even involved the domain of time and space. There was no need to think; this would definitely be his top-tier ultimate weapon in the future!
Finally, Divine Rank Comprehension Ability—not bad at all!
One had to know that Comprehension Ability was the most valuable attribute in Against the Nine Heavens!
Generally speaking, a cultivator with 50 points of Comprehension Ability could be called a genius, 60 points was peerless, and above that could be called a cultivation prodigy. And he... actually had full Comprehension Ability!
It must be said, this starting point truly suited his wishes!
Just then, another System notification sounded.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully binding the Reverse Moon Heavenly Saber and becoming the Heavenly Saber Master!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully unsealing the first seal of the Reverse Moon Heavenly Saber, activating the Heaven-Defying Seven Demonic Blades — Star Extermination!]
Sealed Reverse Moon Heavenly Saber: [Heaven cannot bury it, Earth cannot overturn it. The Nine Heavens World's number one Heavenly Saber of all ages. Slaying cultivators allows it to seize 10% of their lifespan and 10% of their cultivation.]
[System Notification: The lifespan and cultivation seized by the Host will increase with the release of the seal.]
Star Extermination: [The first blade of the Heaven-Defying Seven Demonic Blades. Infuse lifespan to unleash a heaven-defying strike, slaying stars and felling moons!]
[System Notification: Wielding one strike requires the Host to infuse ten years of lifespan.]
"The Sealed Reverse Moon Heavenly Saber!"
"A Supreme Rank weapon in Against the Nine Heavens!"
"It's even... the ultimate weapon that the Great Villain BOSS, Jun Qianyue, is searching and craving for!"
Ning Ye swallowed, his heart suddenly racing.
In Against the Nine Heavens, Jun Qianyue, who became the Great Villain, had always been searching for a saber. This saber was the Reverse Moon Heavenly Saber sealed by the Heavenly Dao.
Legend had it that Jun Qianyue had already mastered the method to break the Heavenly Saber's seal. As long as she found the Heavenly Saber, she could break the seal and complete the last piece of her puzzle on her path to conquering the heavens!
"So... this saber is mine!"
Ning Ye murmured in disbelief.
Just then, he looked at the description of the Reverse Moon Heavenly Saber and couldn't help but frown.
"Infusing ten years of lifespan... to unleash the first strike?"
Ten years for one strike!
How many ten years did he have?
However, his frown quickly smoothed out, because it seemed that as long as he used the Reverse Moon Heavenly Saber to kill enemies, he could seize a portion of their lifespan and cultivation!
Killing people to seize lifespan!
Killing people to seize cultivation!
Good heavens!
As expected of the number one killing saber of all ages!
Slaying enemies makes him stronger!
Slaying enemies increases his lifespan!
Didn't this mean... as long as he killed enough... he would eventually achieve eternal life and stand at the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens?!
This, indeed, seemed to be the setup of a Great Villain!
But he just didn't know if he could contend with Jun Qianyue?
"That feels good!"
"That feels good!"
Ning Ye swayed to his feet, a tired but content smile on his face.
Just then... a gentle breeze blew, sweeping away the white silk scarf he wore over his eyes.
Ning Ye opened his eyes, watching the silk scarf drift into the distance. Luo Jia had given him this silk scarf a year ago. He once cherished it, but now, his heart was frighteningly cold, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
At this moment, the moonlight was dazzling, exceptionally bright and clear as it reflected in his cool eyes, which seemed capable of cutting through the long night!
Yes!
The curse was broken!
It vanished the moment he obtained the Supreme Rank Bloodline!
His lost cultivation was also slowly recovering!
In Against the Nine Heavens, the common ability of a Supreme Rank Bloodline was immunity to all poisons and the eradication of all Gu!
So, how could a mere Soul Devour curse possibly harm him now?
On the moonlit night, Ning Ye stood with his hands behind his back on Siguo Cliff. He gazed at the chaotic world of the Nine Heavens below him, where gods and demons contended and evil spirits ran rampant. A smile grew three points deeper on his handsome face.
"Since that is the case!"
"Then this Highness seems to have acquired enough capital to speedrun this world from this moment on!"
