Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Mysterious Blood, Immortal and Indestructible!
"Oh yeah, baby, hurry up, I can’t wait anymore."
"Me too."
In a small alley, a man and a woman, the man was from Huaxia, and the woman was a brown-haired foreigner.
They seemed prepared to do something inappropriate for children.
Just when the man hugged the woman and was ready for the next step, the woman suddenly extended a pair of sharp fangs and viciously bit into the man’s neck.
"Ah!!!" The man screamed in agony, instinctively punching the woman’s abdomen, only to find that he couldn’t make her budge.
Although he hadn’t undergone Body Refining, his body had been cleansed and strengthened yet he couldn’t knock back a mere woman?
"The blood of you Huaxia people is really delicious!" The woman released the man, her face ghastly pale, with pupils turning into vertical slits, and her sharp fangs appearing particularly terrifying in the moonlight.
"What kind of monster are you?!" The man screamed in terror, trying to break free, but unable to do so.
What kind of creature was this before him, with such immense strength and zombie-like fangs?
The woman ignored him and continued biting his neck.
Bang!
Just as the woman bit down, she suddenly flew backward.
It was as if she was struck by something, slamming heavily into the wall.
Seeing this, the man was greatly shocked. What was happening now?
"Go back." A voice sounded from behind him, and the man looked back in delight.
It was none other than his teacher, Chen Lan.
"Teacher Chen, you’re here!"
"Leave this to me, you head back with the barbecue."
"Alright, alright." The man hurriedly left, fearful and full of shame.
He had been tricked into this alley, thinking he had found a romantic encounter, but it turned out to be a trap.
He almost lost his life.
...
Chen Lan stepped towards the woman, looking at her: "Vampire?"
This woman was the foreign woman he had spotted earlier in the bar. He had noticed something odd about her energy fluctuations, and she turned out to be a Superpower User and a Vampire.
"Who are you?!" The woman lay limp on the ground, spitting blood, unable to stand, "William!!!"
"Stop shouting, your companion is long gone."
"Originally, I could turn a blind eye to you harming others, but you had to target my student, leaving me no choice."
Just as Chen Lan was about to destroy this vampire, the woman screamed: "If you dare kill me, our king won’t let you go!"
"Oh? Your king? Is it him?"
Chen Lan smiled faintly and extended a hand in a tiger claw gesture.
Instantly, a foreign man with a handsome face, golden hair, and wearing a black cloak appeared in his grasp, with his neck being squeezed.
Seeing the man, the woman was utterly shocked: "King?!"
This man was their Vampire Emperor, far away in another land.
He was also her curse; once he awoke, her vampire bloodline was activated.
He had instructed her, William, and others lurking in Huaxia to secretly bring fresh blood to the king.
As long as they drank blood, the Vampire Emperor, even from far away, could regain strength through the bloodline transmission.
But why did he suddenly appear here, captured by this man from such a distance?
Who was this Huaxia man really?
"Who are you, why am I here!" The Vampire Emperor awoke, staring in fear at Chen Lan.
Wasn’t I resting in my coffin?
How did I end up here?
What is going on?
"Don’t worry, you’ve been dead for so many years; dying once more won’t matter." Chen Lan chuckled, his eyes turning icy cold.
In the next instant, the Vampire Emperor was engulfed in raging flames, purple in color.
At the same time, the girl on the ground was also set ablaze with purple flames.
Moreover, in another place, a foreign woman, serving customers and about to enjoy a meal, suddenly burst into flames, reducing to ash.
Throughout the country, dozens suddenly died in self-immolation, all without exception, were foreigners!
Before long, the two vampires in front of him were reduced to ashes, no longer existent.
"Hmm?" Chen Lan then noticed where the Vampire Emperor was burned, a drop of blood floating in the air.
What was this?
He sensed endless life force from this drop of blood, incredibly surging!
It was nearly on par with his own!
"Heavenly Dao." Chen Lan raised his head and communicated silently.
[I’m here]
The Heavenly Dao responded immediately.
"What is this?" Chen Lan displayed the drop of blood floating in his palm.
[This is...]
Upon seeing the blood, the Heavenly Dao remained silent for two minutes.
[Unknown. This drop of blood contains endless Life Dao Rhyme. It seems anyone who consumes this blood can resurrect, even attain immortality.]
Resurrect and attain immortality.
A single drop of blood could achieve this. Was it even more formidable than his Longevity Pill?
But how did such lowly beings from a barbarian land obtain such blood?
They simply weren’t qualified.
This blood’s origins were too mysterious.
[However, this drop seems ancient, probably predating even my own existence. How did you come by it, Great Emperor?]
The Heavenly Dao’s words left Chen Lan startled.
Older than the Heavenly Dao?
The Heavenly Dao likely existed for billions of years, though this was just his guess; none knew its true age.
Chen Lan recounted what had just transpired.
[Impossible! Such blood couldn’t have been acquired by those lowly beings. It’s very likely ancient blood, a remnant from a bygone era.]
"Ancient era? What do you know?"
[I forgot. Since becoming the Heavenly Dao, all previous memories have vanished, erased somehow. I awoke to find myself as the Heavenly Dao.]
[I only know my mission as the Heavenly Dao: to maintain world balance, abstain from interfering in human affairs; otherwise, I face annihilation. I’ve been asleep for ages.]
[It wasn’t until the game materialized that I awakened, so I’m unaware of many things and couldn’t clarify for you, Great Emperor. My apologies.]
Hearing this, Chen Lan fell silent.
The Heavenly Dao seemed ignorant of everything, like one who’d been abducted to labor.
"Alright, you’re excused."
[Understood, I’m withdrawing.]
The Heavenly Dao departed, as Chen Lan gazed at the blood in his hand, storing it in the Storage Ring.
Soon, the sect would materialize. The Heavenly Dao might not know, but characters from the Cultivation World should, right?
He’d find out when the time came.
...
Luo Tao, singing, suddenly noticed Chen Lan by his side again, greatly startled.
"Whoa, you appear out of nowhere."
"Don’t mind me, just continue your song."
Chen Lan wasn’t in the mood for singing, pondering the blood’s origins.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the Maintenance Department headquarters was lively and excited.
