I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1257: Chapter 1257: Bloodline Seal

Folklore says that the waters of the Lethe River are blood-yellow, filled with wandering spirits and malevolent ghosts who cannot reincarnate, teeming with insects and snakes, the pungent stench assaulting the senses!

This is also the boundary between the living world and the netherworld.

And within this Lethe River, even more so, there are countless strong spirits who can’t reincarnate and can only wander in this stretch of water!

They dream of invading a body, devouring its soul and then possessing it; this is their only chance to escape the Lethe River and be reborn.

Tan Zongzhao looked at Blackie, who was still staring down, and suddenly had a bad feeling. He quickly said, “You’d better not think about going into the riverbed. The Lethe River is not only full of wandering spirits and malevolent ghosts waiting to devour and possess your soul, but its insect and snake toxins are constantly eroding the body!”

“Even a warrior at the Divine Emperor Realm cannot withstand such toxic gases!”

Even the Divine Emperor Realm warriors cannot bear it, which shows the extent of danger posed by the Lethe River.

Blackie glanced at Tan Zongzhao and said, “I must go.”

Tan Zongzhao was startled by the words, but before he could say anything to dissuade him, he saw Blackie loosen his feet, which were wrapped in black demonic qi on the surface of the river, and abruptly, it dissipated!

Splash!

In an instant, Blackie had disappeared from his spot and had plunged into the Lethe River!

Seeing this scene, everyone was slightly startled.

The only thing they could think of now was.

Is this person insane?

Wants to commit suicide?

Or does he think he can’t get through the Lethe River and has just given up?

Tan Zongzhao’s expression was also somewhat solemn.

At this point, Shen Jie also came forward, smiling as he patted Tan Zongzhao’s shoulder and said, “What a pity. The person you set your eyes on seems to be a madman. It seems all you’ve done before has been in vain.”

Tan Zongzhao shrugged slightly, shaking off Shen Jie’s hand!

Then, he turned around and headed toward the other side of the Lethe River without looking back, “Instead of worrying so much about others, you should take good care of yourself. With your temperament, it’s no wonder you can’t compete with Shen Sheng and take the title of Holy Son of the Seven Treasures Saint Sect!”

At these words, Shen Jie ground his teeth, his face extremely ugly!

This touched on his deepest insecurity!

“We haven’t sparred for a long time. During the melee in the fourth trial, I would like to see just how far you, Tan Zongzhao, have cultivated your Hundred Saints Purple Eyes!”

Tan Zongzhao waved his hand and said, “You will see.”

Seeing Tan Zongzhao take the lead towards the opposite shore, Shen Jie and the others followed cautiously.

…

Elsewhere, above the Lethe River, three individuals were suspended in the void, watching the scene unfold before them.

Among them were two elders who had brought Blackie to the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace.

Upon seeing Blackie plunge willingly into the Lethe River.

Both elders were taken aback.

“What is he trying to do? Is he seeking death?”

“Moreover, he doesn’t seem to be out of strength, but rather voluntarily diving into the depths of the Lethe River!”

The younger-looking man in the center, however, chuckled with interest.

“My lord, how can you laugh at this? This person is your chosen one, and before reaching the final two trials, he has made such a suicidal move. Aren’t you worried?”

“Shall I rescue him?”

“No need.” The man gestured with his hand and smiled, “Since he is a disciple of that person, his actions must have his own reasons.”

“Besides… from the previous two trials, it can be seen that both his bloodline and soul are quite extraordinary…”

Hearing this, the two elders looked at each other, not knowing what to think, but since it had been said, all they could do was watch and wait.

…

The bottom of the Lethe River.

A blood-yellow hue!

Within it swarmed countless venomous snakes and insects, while faceless ghosts wailed and cried for justice.

The moment Blackie fell to the bottom of the river, he could distinctly feel a fishy smell rush into his nostrils, penetrating directly into his Five Organs, Six Orifices, and blood vessels!

Not only was this breath foul-smelling, but more fatally, it contained toxins that had accumulated over a long period of time!

These toxins posed a lethal threat to both the body and soul, whether it was the venom from snakes and insects meant for the flesh or the spiteful poison amassed by the countless ghosts.

It was a double assault on the body and soul!

Just by breathing it in, Blackie could clearly sense the areas the toxic gas passed through beginning to wither!

No wonder Tan Zongzhao had said that even warriors in the Divine Emperor Realm would struggle to withstand its poisonous might.

However, the moment these toxic gases infiltrated his blood vessels, a golden light burst forth from within Blackie’s body!

Wherever the golden light passed, the poisonous air instantly dissolved!

This was precisely why Blackie dared to come down directly.

The master’s blood essence.

At the master’s level, his bloodline had naturally become immune to all poisons.

At least the toxins of this level stood no chance against this single drop of the master’s blood essence.

Of course, this was also a gamble Blackie was taking.

But there was no other way; one of the three souls, as long as he got this soul fragment, he would have found all of the three souls of the three souls and seven spirits, and his strength would surge like never before!

What’s more important was… he could obtain more information.

What exactly was inside that black box.

He wondered if this soul fragment would provide the answer.

Black demonic qi stretched continually toward the bottom, and Blackie controlled his body to sink deeper.

And at that moment, countless howling sounds swept over from all directions!

As Blackie looked around him, numerous ghostly hands grabbed his arms, legs, and even his neck!

He was rendered utterly immobile in an instant!

Every ghost here possessed at least Divine King Realm strength… even Divine Master Realm power!

Blackie’s expression turned slightly grim.

He shouted lowly, and demon god armor covered his entire body, with seven lines appearing instantly on the surface, and his bloodline power erupted forth!

Facing this situation, Blackie dared not slacken in the slightest!

Grasping the Nine Heaven Demon Halberd in his hands, he wielded it around, dispersing any approaching ghosts!

His body continued to move downward simultaneously.

However, the deeper he went, the more ghosts there were, and even their power seemed to strengthen!

In just the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Blackie’s body already bore wounds deep to the bone!

After all, these were ghosts, and their attacks could partly penetrate the armor, striking directly upon Blackie’s flesh.

If it weren’t for the self-healing ability of his bloodline, any other person would have probably been overwhelmed and devoured by the ghosts and vermin by now…

Another incense stick’s time passed, and Blackie arrived at the riverbed of the Forgotten River.

But when he got here, he discovered that the black demonic qi had dispersed upon reaching this place!

It spread to various locations, in all directions.

It seemed as if the soul fragments could be in any direction.

Upon seeing this, Blackie defended against the ghosts’ attacks while pondering.

Could it be that his soul fragment had been here for so long that other ghosts had been imbued with its essence?

If that was the case, then he just needed to find the one with the most intense presence.

Only… in his current situation, how could he calm down to sense it?

“It seems… I have no choice but to unseal the Bloodline Seal.”
