Chapter 842: Everlasting Blood Refining Art



Shortly after conditioning his mental state, Vaan began refining the first drop of Abaddon's ownerless divine blood.

Without any lingering will in it, the divine blood became pure and docile blood energy. It did not resist nor try to defy his calling the moment he operated his nameless blood art, which he later called the Everlasting Blood Refining Art.

In order to refine and assimilate the divine blood, Vaan couldn't introduce it into his body directly, at least not at his present stage in the Everlasting Blood Refining Art.

First, he sliced open a wound on his wrist and allowed his blood to flow. Afterward, with the guidance of divine energy, his blood formed a high-spinning vortex. The drop of divine blood was dropped right into it to be cleansed of impurities.

Of course, Vaan could skip this step by purifying the divine blood with his Nihility Law. However, he would also be missing out on an integral part of the cleansing process.

After all, he wasn't just cleansing the divine blood but marking it with his will, claiming ownership of it.

It was the first of the three main steps to absorbing the bloodline in the divine blood. The divine blood was washed to receive the mark of acknowledgment.

During this step, the divine blood was also broken down into countless blood particles.

Next came the rite of passage - Introducing the divine blood particles into his bloodstream for refinement by circulating them through his twelve meridians and nine extraordinary vessels.

This second step was called the Acceptance Acquisition stage.

After receiving the mark of acknowledgment, the divine blood had to be circulated throughout his bloodstream to familiarize itself with his blood.

If his blood rejected the divine blood and deemed it as a foreign impurity, then his first step was considered incomplete or flawed. If not, then the divine blood would become a resident in his body but not quite a part of him.

As such, the final step was necessary - The blood fusion step of integrating the divine blood with his own. It was like letting the divine blood particles parasitize his own origin blood to acquire their vampiric traits.

However, the parasitization was not aggressive. As such, the vampiric divine blood would not destroy the existing traits of his blood and only add to it.

This was the advantage of the original Everlasting Blood Mantra.

Nevertheless, without the Nihility Law purifying the remnant wills, this step would have been no different from injecting corruption.

Ding!

<You have assimilated a drop of Vampire Lord Origin Blood>

<You have acquired the Divine-rank Vampire Bloodine>

<You have gained some insights into the Blood Law>

<Your body has been slightly strengthened by rich blood energy>

<You have entered an energized state due to excess blood energy. Until the excess blood energy is depleted, you will not experience physical and regeneration fatigue>n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

...

The first divine blood was refined and assimilated without an issue. However, due to the limited amount of Vampire Lord Origin Blood, Vaan only acquired a very weak vampire bloodline.

The vampire bloodline could only improve his body slightly and not bring out some of the distinctive traits of a Vampire Lord.

Nevertheless, Vaan still had 9999 drops of divine blood. Thus, he wasn't concerned about being unable to awaken the latent abilities of a Vampire Lord.

Moreover, he was unlikely to use all of the divine blood to cultivate the Everlasting Blood Refining Art.

Ultimately, Abaddon's divine blood was of inferior quality. Although it was at the divine rank, that was also the limit of its potential. Refining it would only help cultivate his blood arts to Peak Rank 6.

If Vaan wanted to surpass it, he still had to assimilate many more types of origin blood and of higher quality to evolve his blood power and raise his understanding of the Blood Law continuously.

Abaddon's divine blood was only a means to an end, not the goal.

Nevertheless, after refining the first divine blood, next came a second one, then a third, a fourth...

Vaan continued to refine and absorb the divine blood within Abaddon's left arm. At the same time, his blood cultivation improved very rapidly.

Ding!

<You have assimilated a drop of Vampire Lord Origin Blood>

<Your Divine-rank Vampire Bloodline has been strengthened>

<You have gained further insights into the Blood Law>

...

As Vaan continued to assimilate the divine blood, his body became incredibly overloaded with excess blood energy. Thus, he intermittently put a pause to the cultivation of the Everlasting Blood Refining Art and expended his excess blood energy through blood practices.

As a result, his blood control and understanding of the Blood Law improved quickly alongside his blood cultivation.

After assimilating a hundred drops of divine blood, his blood power had reached the Transcendent rank. At a thousand drops, it would most likely achieve the Divine rank.

It was clear that the divine blood contained an incredible amount of concentrated blood

energy.

Ding!

<You have assimilated a drop of Vampire Lord Origin Blood>

<Your Divine-rank Vampire Bloodline has been strengthened>

<You have gained further insights into the Blood Law>

...

Ding!

<Your Everlasting Blood (Incomplete) has mixed with your Dragon Aura>

<Your Dragon Aura has acquired some traits of your Everlasting Blood (Incomplete)> <Your Dragon Aura has turned into Blood Dragon Aura>

...

Although most of Vaan's Dragon Aura was stored in his heart, it also flowed through his twelve main meridians and nine extraordinary vessels. Thus, he had already anticipated it would mix with his Blood Power.

Now, his Blood Dragon Aura didn't just possess the overbearing trait of a dragon but also the tenacious aspect of his incomplete Everlasting Blood.

Once he had cultivated the Everlasting Blood Refining Art to completion, his Blood Dragon Aura would most likely acquire undying tenacity.

In other words, if his Blood Dragon Aura faced an aura-destroying power, it would stubbornly resist its destruction through regeneration.

However, Vaan discovered an impossible problem while he was assimilating the divine blood. He was feeling rage and malice growing inside of him, which shouldn't have been possible.

After all, he had already erased every last trace of Abaddon's remnant wills, turning the entire ten thousand drops of divine blood into pure, ownerless divine blood.

Furthermore, with his Fourth Dimensional Sense active, it was also impossible for him to have missed any insignificant trace of Abaddon's remnant wills.

Despite all that, it was also undeniable that he could feel rage and malice growing inside his

heart.

'This shouldn't be possible...' Vaan frowned as he temporarily halted blood cultivation. Upon further investigation, he soon realized the rage and malice growing in his heart wasn't due to the influence of Abaddon's remnant wills he may have unnoticeably absorbed. Furthermore, it wasn't born from assimilating the divine blood; it was from his increased

comprehension of the Blood Law.

The Blood Law was the problem.

However, Vaan had never heard of the heavenly laws possessing any corrupting influence. If

such a problem existed, Hecate would have at least given him a warning regarding it.

As such, it didn't seem to be the case.

That said, Hecate didn't comprehend the Blood Law. Thus, it could be a problem that she didn't know about, even if it seemed improbable.

'I've already comprehended several laws, yet such a problem never came up. This problem only appears for the Blood Law... Why is that so?' Vaan frowned.

He suddenly wondered if the Blood Law possessing corrupting influence had anything to do with it being a part of the Asura Law, governed by the Lord of Chaos.

Given the amount of bloodshed spilled by the Lord of Chaos, it might be possible for the sheer amount of vengeful spirits to integrate with the Blood Law and awaken such a corrupting

ability.

'The Lord of Chaos is twisting the Blood Law? Does that mean everyone who comprehends the Asura Law or Blood Law will be twisted into a devilish person?' Vaan followed on his guess.

However, he quickly scratched the thought.

If such a problem existed, it would have been widely spread across all of Chaos already. Thus,

in that situation, it was also impossible for Hecate not to know about it.

'But if there's no problem with the Blood Law, where does my rage and malice come from when my comprehension increases?' Vaan's frown deepened.

After encountering such a situation, he realized he wouldn't be able to rest until he looked

into the bottom of it.

He didn't need sleep; he needed answers.

'The sense of rage and malice is still very insignificant. It won't pose a problem in my decision-making... Should I take a risk?' Vaan wondered.

He was very close to acquiring the Blood Authority.

After briefly contemplating the matter, Vaan eventually decided to increase his

comprehension a little more to achieve the milestone.

Ding!

<Your understanding of the Blood Law has reached 1%>

<You have re-acquired Blood Authority>

<You can now control the Blood Law with soul force>

...

'Re-acquired...?'

Vaan's pupils shrank, and his heart instantly turned heavy. A stronger feeling of rage and

malice was born within him.

Moreover, it seemed particularly biased toward witches.

Ding!

<An illogical error has been detected>

<The system has no records of the Host acquiring Blood Authority in the past>
