Ascension of The Unholy Immortal-Chapter 391: New Bloodline Arts
Though outwardly composed, inwardly, Liang was struggling far more than he cared to admit. The Dwarf ancestor's strength was formidable, and the battle was becoming increasingly taxing.
Fortunately, the Dwarf wasn't a genuine Chaos Resonance Realm powerhouse. If he were, Liang would have been at an overwhelming disadvantage.
"Do you really want to continue this battle?" Liang's voice was dripping with disdain. "Although I'm not entirely certain… judging by your presence, you're not even truly alive anymore, let alone a Chaos Resonance Realm expert."
The Dwarf ancestor's eyes narrowed dangerously, though a twisted smile crept across his face.
"Hmph. So what? We Dwarves have cultivated that orchid for tens of thousands of years. Nine generations of Dwarf kings have sacrificed their true runes into this Ancestral Rune—all in preparation for the moment when the Nine Revolutions Era Orchid finally blooms!"
Liang's gaze flickered with surprise. Though he had suspected as much, hearing it confirmed still struck him with a sense of awe. His voice carried a note of quiet astonishment as he murmured, "One soul, nine true runes… to reach immortality."
The Dwarf ancestor threw back his head and laughed. "Hahaha! You're not as dim-witted as you look, serpent!"
"One hundred thousand years ago, I reached the Divine Level, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't break through the bloodline curse that shackled me." His laughter faded into a cold and resentful tone "It was only after discovering the Nine Revolutions Era Orchid that I gained enlightenment."
"Insane," Liang expression darkened. He took a slow, deliberate breath, "Burning one's soul into a rune, fusing one's consciousness into rune—it's madness."
"Hahahaha!" The Dwarf ancestor roared with mirth, his hammer glowing brighter with each passing second. "Madness??
No, it is genius! Look at me now! After nine generations of sacrifice, I succeeded! This just a runic manifestation —this fusion of soul, consciousness and true runes— Yet It's power is at such a level, let alone one acombined with a suitable physical body, this is the proof of our ingenuity!"
Liang's eyes narrowed slightly, his serpentine gaze sharpening. "That's why you need the orchid, Not just to cultivate its power—but to reincarnate fully, isn't it?"
The Dwarf ancestor's grin widened, "The Nine Revolutions Era Orchid isn't merely a tool for power—it's a key. When its petals unfurl at the apex of the Era's Turning, it will rewrite the laws of rebirth itself. With my Ancestral Rune fused to its core, I'll shed this spectral shell and claim the Nine Revolutions Immortal Body. Not even Dong Jue's curse will chain me then."
Liang's serpentine tail lashed, stirring yin qi into a tempest. "Your fooling yourself. The Dong Clan's bloodline curse isn't some trivial hex—If I am not wrong it should be at the celestial Level . Dong Jue bound your fate to the Frostfall's decay, Even if you seize the orchid, you'll unravel into oblivion the moment you try to ascend."
"Enough!" The Dwarf roared, slamming his hammer down. " Dong Jue's bloodline curse nearly erased us. But we Dwarves are resilient. You think I don't know the stakes? For generations, we've poured our souls into this ritual—not just to break the curse, but to erase the Dong Clan's shadow from existence! "
Liang's serpentine eyes narrowed," The Nine Revolutions Body… a near primordial physique, What makes you think you will succeed? Even the Nine Revolutions Body has gardes too, not every Nine Revolutions Body is near Primordial"
"Because this Orchid isn't ordinary one."
The Dwarf snarled," It was born from the shattered essence of Frostfall Ancient God ! An ancient primordial being."
The Dwarf ancestor's hammer blazed with runic energy as he unleashed another devastating technique. "Runic Matrix: Ninefold Mountain Seal!"
Nine massive runes materialized in the air, each pulsing with ancient power. They began rotating rapidly around Liang, forming an intricate web of golden light that crackled with spatial energy.
Liang responded by activating his Universe Devouring Serpent Bloodline to its maximum potential. His nine tails extended outward, each manifesting different elemental properties - flames, shadows, and void essence swirling together in a mesmerizing display.
"Universe Serpent's Illusionary Dance!"
This bloodline technique is one of many created by Liang during his time at the Immortal Dragon Spring.
Dark flames erupted from his wings, transforming into spectral serpent phantoms that weaved through the closing runic matrix. The illusions caused the runes to hesitate, their trajectories disrupted by conflicting energies.
"Not bad," the Dwarf growled, "But let's see you handle this! Runic Art - Spatial Collapse Array!"
A complex pattern of glowing runes spread across the ground, causing the very space around them to warp and distort. The gravitational forces intensified dramatically, threatening to crush everything within a hundred-meter radius.
"Spatial Array? You are overestimating yourself." Liang's eyes glowed with universe qi as he channeled his bloodline's void aspect.
"Universal Qi - Gravity Reversal!" Using the power of the universe essence Liang commanded the space.
A wave of pure, untainted universe qi emanated from Liang's body, counteracting the crushing pressure of the Dwarf's spatial array. The runes flickered, their light dimming as the two opposing forces clashed. The very fabric of reality seemed to groan under the strain, cracks appearing in the air as the two powerhouses wrestled for control.
The very fabric of space, Heaven and Earth, trembled violently as if sensing an impending cataclysm. A maelstrom of spatial energy began to gather, twisting and contorting the very essence of void itself.
Pushing further, Liang transformed his arms into draconic claws imbued with Heavenly Spirit Flame. He launched forward in a blur, attempting to close the distance while the Dwarf was still channeling his runic technique.
The Dwarf ancestor, however, had anticipated this move.With a thunderous roar, he activated another Runic Array: "Runic Prison - Soul Cage Manifestation!"
Ghostly chains made of pure runic energy erupted from the ground, attempting to bind Liang's serpentine form. Each chain pulsed with soul-rending power designed to suppress souls.
"Bloodline Secret Art - Nine True Shadows "
Thinking quickly, Liang dispersed into nine separate shadow clones. The clones moved erratically, making it difficult for the runic chains to capture them all.
"Bloodline Secret Art - Ninefold Shadow Serpent Strike!"
The clones converged back into Liang's main body just as he reached the Dwarf ancestor. His attack carried the combined momentum of nine strikes, each enhanced by different bloodline aspects - fire, illusion, darkness, and void.
The Dwarf ancestor raised his rune-covered hammer in desperation...
