chapter 18: bloodline awakening.

i am called the Darkshadow Empress but my real name is Yi Mingxia

i am the greatest assasin with Law of Darkness and shadow.

the woman said out loud in a proud tone…

my purpose here is to help you with three things.

firstly i will help you comprehend the darkness energy.

after she stated this suddenly Tian can see through the darkness, and he realize this a death world, the second floor of pagoda is Hell.

Suddenly, a number of pillars emerged from the earth and reached the sky, each pillar surrounded by a deep black, thorny chain. After that, two alters emerged, and Tian noticed that there were 10,000 shadows of various humanoid shapes gathered around one of the alters, and on this alters are 10 corpse sitting cross legged.

Tian was speechless seeing this, cause he can feel a very terrifying aura of death and destructions coming from each shadow especially the 10 corpse sitting on the platform.

Tian follows the woman as she makes her way toward the alter. When they get to the platform, Tian notices that he can't see through every shadow's physical makeup; instead, he can only make out their outline but not their look, as if they were shrouded in darkness and unable to see through.

this 10 corpse are know as the 10 heavenly demons and they are from the immemorial time.

the woman explained.

what is immemorial time?

Tian quickly ask before she conitnue.

tsk.. thats something for you to find out on your own.

the woman reply in a cold tone, that gives no room for anymore questioning, before she continue.

These ten heavenly corpses and their 10,000 warriors are prepared to be your shadow warriors; they will do whatever you ask; your words are rules, and your commands are orders to them; the rest is up to you to figure out for yourself, so don't bother asking questions because I won't answer any.

tsk.. whats with the mysterious acting? y'all start a war while you want me an innocent soul to finish what you start, and now you are being mysterious.

Tian blurt out in anger

Yi Mingxia look into the Tian eye, for few minutes before saying one sentences

we are deeply sorry, but now do you have a choice?

Tian felt the guilt in her eye and hearing the sincere and honest sentences and he felt some pain in his heart before nodding his head to her and he turn quiet.

Yi mingxia walk toward him before caressing his cheek a little, then she lead him to the second alter.

On the second alter, there was a pool of dark golden liquid and violet liquid separated by a formation in the middle, and a floating dark-red fire with many dark chains sealing it in the air on top of this pool.

Tian's eyes widened in horror as he saw this flame, his thoughts screaming like death was approaching him, and his body refused to listen to his instruction as he stayed still.

When Yi Mingxia noticed his reaction, she shook her head and sent a wisp of energy into his body, which calmed Tian's body and mind. Tian looked into her eye in anticipation of an explanation, hoping she wouldn't tell him to figure it out on his own once more.

you must be curious about the flame origin right?

Tian nodded his head in response.

actually this flame is related to you….

Tian look at her with an expresssion of what do you mean, but he did not interrupt her.

this is called "nova fire" all exploding, planet cremating, and it is also know as universal destruction flame.

It was born along side the universe and it is the only fire that can burn any law in the universe.

This is what made the chaos dragon of destruction terrifying in his day, but he could only manage 70% of its strength; if he could control 100% of it, we wouldn't have been as powerless against heaven as we were.

Yi Mingxia said while shaking her head before she look at Tian with hope and expectations.

but the situation, might be different with you.

what make's you think so?

Tian asked.

cause you and the flame are the same , you are destruction same as the fire.

but i'm not pure destruction while the fire is pure destruction.

ohhh you think you are not ?

why dont you wait till you awaken your bloodline, maybe you might have different thought then.

Tian was surprise to hear this news from Yi mingxia, he started thinking.

seeing Tian lost in thought Yi mingxia nodded her head before she continue.

you dont need to think too much since everything will come in place sooner or later, my only warning for you is that do not let your soul be consume by destruction nor creation make sure you are the balance to them.

Tian did not understand the meaning of what she said completely, so he just nod his head.

I think that's all for now. This is my second and third missions, and you already know about my first one. The laws of destruction and creation, the blood of destruction and creation, as well as several other materials having both creational and destructive energy were used to create this pool.

this pool will help you in awakening your bloodline and after that, your body will be strong enough to absorb this fire.

i will be assisting you in other to make sure nothing goes wrong so get ready boy.

Tian nodded his head before walking toward the middle of the pool as instructed, immediately he enter the pool all his cloths vanished and he was now sitting naked in the formation created to separate both energy.

"make sure you dont stop circulating your cultivation technique no matter what"

Yi mingxia warned before she form a seal in the air, and immediate the formation separating both energy dissapear.

When the formation dissapeared, both energies became violent and rushed toward each other like two armies colliding, Tian immediately began circulating his technique, and energy from both sides was being absorbed inside his body, turning his inside into a battlefield.

He gritted his teeth to endure the pain brought on by the energy inside his body, which was fighting ferociously inside of him. Tian tried to tame this energies but was unsuccessful; cracks began to appear on his body; all of his bones were breaking internally; and occasionally, muffled sounds would escape his body. Tian was losing it because he was unable to control any of the energy; in fact, he could no longer feel his body, but he persisted and he didnt stop circulating the chaos hegemony cultivation art.

After a few minutes, he was having difficulty staying conscious. When the thought of death entered his head, all the runes in his body suddenly lighted up, and the book in his soul space shone brightly before releasing an energy that was gray in color yet held unlimited might. This energy began to merge with each rune in his body, and the runes began to shine brightly before they started absorbing the creation and destruction energy in his body and around him.

The rune were consuming the energy like gluttony until Tian's body was wrapped in a cocoon and the energy surrounding him was entering the cocoon. Tian's soul entered slumber, his soul also started transforming, and his meridian was growing at an alarming rate.

Yi mingxia breathe in relief knowing that Tian has succeed in awakening his bloodline but then a frown appear on her face, then she was surprise to see the situation happening in front of her.

ahead of her was Tian wrapped up in the energy cocoon undergoing his first evolution but then the chain holding the "Nova fire" broke into pieces and the fire was absorb into the cocoon.

immediately the cocoon was surrounded by the burning Nova fire which is dark-red in color, all the energy in the world was being devour at an alarming rate, that even Yi mingxia had no choice but to connect the energy on the first floor to the second floor so that Tian will have access to pure energy and he can devour as much as he want.

.....

2 months later

the fire was suddenly absorb inside the cocoon and crack started appearing on the cocoon, the crack keep spreading until it exploded.

Tian steps outside while wearing nothing but a devious grin on his face because he can feel how powerful he has grown since his bloodline awakened. He clenches his fist and can feel the energy coursing through his veins, making him wish he could roar right now.

seeing the devil smile on his face Yi mingxia shake her head before making a mirror appear in front of Tian.

Tian look in the mirrior and realize that he now look more handosme and the runes on each scale on his body are now brighter than before and he can see that they are absorbing energy constantly to nourish his body even without him circulating his technique, also his body look more sturdy and well fitted now, his tails also look more flexible and tougher now, but before he could keep admiring himself the mirror dissapear.
