2776 Bloodline: Alluring Soul Grade!
“Lord Saint, most of the Alluring Fox bloodline was extracted from Kong Huan’s body. When I extracted her bloodline, she told me its level is the most elite of all the experts in her species! Her bloodline has reached pinnacle Alluring Bones and is only one step away from reaching Alluring Soul!”
In spite of its eliteness, Lin Yuan did not experience any difficulty absorbing the Alluring Fox bloodline.
But once Lin Yuan absorbed it, 10 long pinkish-red tails emerged from his back.
They were even wider and more graceful than Kong Huan’s own when she was in her original form.
Lin Yuan’s long black hair slowly faded to a light peachy pink. His hair reached his knees, and there were flecks of gold and purplish-red within the pink. It was as though the underside of the hair had been highlighted.
A pair of animal ears sprouted from the top of his head, and his eyes turned crystalline pinkish-purple.
Lin Yuan’s handsome features softened and became more alluring.
At that moment, Spring felt that Lin Yuan could be perfectly described as a charming natural beauty.
After assimilating the Alluring Fox bloodline, Lin Yuan began to feel the full extent of its enhancing effects.
Interestingly, the Alluring Fox bloodline not only captivated fox-species lifeforms but also stirred affection in cat-species lifeforms toward him.
Additionally, it bolstered his resistance to charm, shielding him from external influences.
Thanks to the Alluring Fox bloodline’s support to his soul and spirit, Lin Yuan gained immunity to various negative effects of soul- and spirit-targeting curses.
Remarkably, when it came to these capabilities, the Alluring Fox bloodline proved to be on par with, if not stronger than, the formidable Bloodian bloodline!
Lin Yuan finally understood why Spring and Summer had so strongly recommended the Alluring Fox bloodline to him.
It was like the bloodline of kings that dominated all other lifeforms.
Unfortunately, evolving the Alluring Fox bloodline in the Sky Beyond the Clouds proved to be exceptionally challenging for unknown reasons.
Lin Yuan held the belief that the pinnacle Alluring Bones bloodline faced difficulty in dominating the most potent fox-species lifeforms and failed to appeal strongly to other cat-species lifeforms.
The Alluring Foxes could consider themselves fortunate for not becoming the pets of other fox- and cat-species lifeforms.
However, if the Alluring Fox bloodline could be successfully evolved, its standing on the Species Ranking would experience a significant boost!
Spring had mentioned the Snow-Covered Foxes to Lin Yuan.
Spring had not heard of the Snow-Covered Foxes before. Yet, they occupied a spot in the top 100 ranks of the East Universe’s Species Ranking. There was no way that Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter would be unaware of such a species if they existed while they were in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Given that Spring had not heard of them, it meant that the Snow-Covered Foxes had only risen to power in the last few epochs.
Kong Huan had mentioned that the Alluring Foxes intended to migrate to the North Universe to become the Snow-Covered Foxes’ dependent species.
Lin Yuan felt that a species that knew how to seek protection was a smart one.
However, due to the special characteristics of the Alluring Foxes, it was challenging for them to become a dependent species.
Without a powerful source of support, the Alluring Foxes would likely become playthings to the Snow-Covered Foxes as well as the other dependent species.
There were no restraints when it came to fighting between the species of the Sky Beyond the Clouds. The powerful species did not need any reason to destroy the weaker ones.
Lin Yuan sensed that his Alluring Fox bloodline had indeed reached pinnacle Alluring Bones, and there was only a weak wall obstructing the bloodline from the next step in its evolution. Lin Yuan could sense that this wall could be broken with one tiny push.
Lin Yuan circulated the energy in his bloodline to temper the Alluring Fox bloodline.
Once he injected his energy into the Alluring Fox bloodline, it became active and began hacking at the thin wall.
Lin Yuan could sense that the attacks from the Alluring Fox bloodline were causing the wall to weaken.
If this trajectory persisted, the energy in his body would be able to help the bloodline to evolve.
Now that he had confirmed this, Lin Yuan concentrated on activating his body composition.
While he was strengthening the Alluring Fox bloodline, his charm intensified, and Spring found it difficult to keep her eyes off of him.
Charm was an influence that came from the bloodline and manifested through the body. The less impurities in the body, the stronger the manifestation of charm.
Lin Yuan’s Body of All Spirits had enabled him to become the Source of All Spirits and his body could naturally boost other bloodlines.
Hence, despite the fact that both Lin Yuan and Kong Huan’s bloodlines were at pinnacle Alluring Bones, his ability to mesmerize other fox-species and cat-species lifeforms was much stronger than hers!
All of a sudden, Spring sensed that Lin Yuan’s aura had changed.
The charm of Alluring Bones did not come from the appearance but was kept within the body. Nonetheless, the body was the source.
But now, all the charm in Lin Yuan’s body had been concealed and stored in his soul. As a result, the charm no longer manifested through the surface.
If the two types of charm were compared, the Alluring Bones bloodline was akin to the ape stage of evolution, while the Alluring Soul bloodline was already at the homosapien stage!
Lin Yuan’s peachy pink hair that fell to his knees was shortened so that it only reached his waist. The color also became lighter, and the curls had golden hues.
Given that his charm was all concealed within his soul now, Lin Yuan’s appearance was very clean.
His purplish-pink eyes took on a more crystalline beauty.
Spring could not help but marvel that his current appearance could not only mesmerize other fox-species and cat-species lifeforms but also have a significant effect on other species.
The Alluring Bones bloodline in Lin Yuan’s body had only just evolved to Alluring Soul. But thanks to Lin Yuan’s Body of All Spirits, it had reached higher Alluring Soul.
It was said that during the golden age of the Alluring Foxes, the High Priest’s bloodline had broken through past Alluring Soul.
The evolution of the High Priest’s bloodline had required the help of all the Alluring Foxes. But to Lin Yuan, evolving the bloodline was not a difficult task at all.
The Alluring Foxes were a species that prioritized bloodline.
Now that Lin Yuan’s bloodline had reached Alluring Soul grade, it would be extremely easy for him to take control of Kong Huan by brandishing his bloodline.
However, as Spring came to learn more about Lin Yuan, she discovered that he liked everything to be done with certainty. Hence, he would never just rely on his bloodline to take control of Kong Huan.
In Spring’s eyes, this was a virtue.
Using one’s bloodline to take control of other bloodlines involved the bloodline suppressing the bloodlines of other species, thereby attaining their loyalty.
Unlike the demon insects, not every species’ bloodline afforded them as strong of a controlling power over their peers.
If he used his bloodline to take control of Kong Huan, she would be able to betray him once she decided to turn her back on the Alluring Foxes.
Lin Yuan sensed his current state.
After the evolution of the Alluring Fox bloodline, he noticed that his spirit and soul were much more resistant to negative effects than before.
Lin Yuan needed to use his own energy in order to use the Body of All Spirits to evolve a bloodline. Hence, before taking control of a bloodline, he needed to ensure there were sufficient merits that warranted its use. Otherwise, it would be a waste of his energy.
Morbius was currently absorbing the energy on the wall illustration.
Lin Yuan would need to remain in Epoch God Palace for four months at least.
Lin Yuan sat on the throne and pondered for a moment before he said, “Spring, go and bring these two people over to me. What do you think I should do to ensure their loyalty when I take control of them?”
Lin Yuan had never interacted with World Emperor/Divine Kingdom experts before and did not know if they could swear on their Willpower and Law Runes like spirit qi professionals and feys could.
Spring smiled and said, “Lord Saint, despite recently awakening your birth horoscope, your divine kingdom has swiftly integrated with a sacred mountain, boasting unparalleled accommodation capabilities.
“Utilize your divine kingdom to absorb theirs, leaving your distinct imprint on their divine kingdoms. Employ your fountain of faith to bind their fountains, gaining control over their power sources. While their lives may not be within your grasp, their obedience is assured.”
Spring guessed what Lin Yuan was thinking. When spirit qi professionals swore on their Law and Willpower Runes, they were being restrained by the world wills.
However, once divine-kingdom experts opened their divine kingdoms, they were able to use their divine kingdoms to fight back against the world wills. Hence, swearing on Law Runes and Willpower Runes might work for other lifeforms but no longer worked for them.
In the Sky Beyond the Clouds, power was everything. There were countless experts who put their lives on the line in their pursuit of power. Some species even ran themselves into the ground because of this.
The Alluring Foxes were the best example of that.
It was likely that the High Priest that evolved past Alluring Soul had encountered some issues and might have even died.
Otherwise, the Alluring Foxes would never have fallen down such a spiral!
Lin Yuan relaxed when he heard what Spring said.
He would only allow the two of them to return to the Sky Beyond the Clouds once he found a way to take full control of them.
If the two were allowed to return and they brought disaster back to the main world, it would be too late for Lin Yuan to regret his decision!
But now, he could use his divine kingdom to take control of the two of them. Lin Yuan believed that experts from a place as complicated as the Sky Beyond the Clouds would treasure power over their own lives.
Lin Yuan had always known that his divine kingdom was very special.
He had only been a D-rank spirit qi professional when he opened his divine kingdom.
Spring said that his divine kingdom had fused with a sacred mountain. What was a sacred mountain?
After a moment of silence, Lin Yuan decided not to ask more questions.
As his power continued to grow, he would eventually gain the answers to many of his questions.
Soon, Kong Huan and Fan Lou appeared in front of him.
Lin Yuan gazed down at the two of them and could clearly sense the fear they felt toward him. This fear came from their fear of his power, as well as their unfamiliarity with him.
They still could not figure out how experts like Spring and Winter could exist in a Class 2 world!
Kong Huan was the strongest expert in the group. She had revealed her objective during Winter’s preliminary questioning.
Kong Huan wanted to kill all the other experts who had come to the main world from the Sky Beyond the Clouds, aside from the other Alluring Foxes, so she could occupy all the resources in the main world.
As the leader of the Boundary Patrol Team in charge of the main world, Fan Lou had the best understanding of the main world. He had leveraged this to join the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves and successfully elevated his status in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Fan Lou used to be Kong Huan’s subordinate but had betrayed her. As such, the two of them were now bitter enemies, and Kong Huan wanted nothing more than to see him dead.
But now that they were both prisoners, they had no choice but to try to get along with each other.
Due to the differences in their stances and the enmity between them, they would both jump at the chance to undermine each other.
However, neither would agree to work with their captor without first discussing it with each other.
“How long did the two of you plan on searching this Class 2 world before returning to the Sky Beyond the Clouds?”
This was the question that Lin Yuan most wanted the answer to.
But to Fan Lou and Kong Huan, it sounded as though Lin Yuan was interrogating them.
Previously, Kong Huan was always the one to speak first. But this time, Fan Lou reacted first and said, “My Lord, we didn’t set a deadline because we don’t know much about this Class 2 world. We only need to return before all the abyssal space energy in the Abyssal Beast’s body is depleted.”
Fan Lou understood the circumstances. All their lives were in the hands of this young man.
This young man was not showing Kong Huan any special favor, so he had the right to compete with Kong Huan for this young man’s favor.
This young man’s two subordinates were unbelievably powerful. Evidently, this young man was a bigshot from one of the Sky Beyond the Clouds’s top factions.
There was a chance that he might not be from the East Universe!
Kong Huan’s power was insignificant in the face of such a bigshot.
Fan Lou needed to do his best to leave a good impression on this young man. A good start would be to answer all the questions he had.
Lin Yuan looked at Spring as he did not know how long it would take for all the abyssal space energy in the Abyssal Beast to run out.
Spring hurriedly explained, “Lord Saint, given a regular level of activity, it would take at least two years and four months for all the energy in the Abyssal Beast’s body to be depleted.”
Lin Yuan could not help but remember Spring mentioning that the experts from the Sky Beyond the Clouds went into seclusion for hundreds or even thousands of years. There were also many of them that only emerged hundreds of thousands of years later!
Two years and four months was nothing to lifeforms from the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Moreover, given the difference in the flow of time between the Sky Beyond the Clouds and the main world, two years and four months in the main world was the equivalent of around two months in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Since there was so much time left, there was no need for Lin Yuan to rush.
He was going to visit all four palaces so Morbius could absorb the energy in the walls.
Hence, he would allow Kong Huan and Fan Lou to tell him all about the current East Universe!
When Lin Yuan traveled from the main world to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, his arrival point was the boundary of the East Universe.
When you knew yourself and your enemy, you could fight a hundred battles without fearing defeat.
Hence, Lin Yuan believed that it was imperative for him to gain an understanding of the East Universe.
