A pure and domineering force, mixed with Li Ye Jin's unique cold aura, surged violently into my dantian! But this time, it was not a brutal plunder or a test; instead, it was a careful and guiding refinement.
At the same time, the blood sacrifice power activated by Bai Jingshu began to backfire as it lost its target! He let out a scream, entangled by crimson runes, his face twisted in agony.
The two forces converged within me like a collision of ice and fire, instantly triggering a dramatic change! Deep within my dantian, the long-suppressed scorching power awakened like a dormant volcano, erupting with a thunderous roar!
"Ah—!" An indescribable pain engulfed my entire body, as if my bones and flesh were being melted and reforged by flames! But unlike before, this pain was intertwined with a sense of exhilaration and strength akin to breaking free from a cocoon!
Countless unfamiliar fragments of memory surged into my mind like a tide. This time, they were not scattered pieces but a coherent inheritance! The life of Shangguan Ningxue, her powerful ice-based techniques, her past entanglements with Li Ye Jin, the truth behind her self-destruction of cultivation to seal her overwhelmingly powerful demonic bloodline, even faking her death to escape... and the methods for utilizing the Heart Flame Spirit Bone were imprinted upon my soul like a brand!
It turned out that I was truly her descendant! It turned out that Cold Jade Waste Veins were merely an appearance, a disguise for the bloodline's self-protection! It turned out that Li Ye Jin... he had always been guarding the secrets left by Shangguan Ningxue and... me?
"Boom—!"
A surge of crimson-gold flames erupted from within me, instantly illuminating the entire stone chamber as if it were daylight! The flames were warm and blazing, filled with vibrant life yet carrying the terrifying power to incinerate everything!
"This is the power of the Heart Flame Spirit Bone!"
"Heart Flame... has awakened!" Bai Jingshu looked at the flames engulfing me with disbelief and sheer terror in his eyes. "No! Impossible! This power is mine!"
He lunged at me frantically, desperate for one last struggle.
But at this moment, I was no longer the defenseless Ye Xichen. The techniques from my bloodline memories flowed naturally as I raised my hand. The crimson-gold flames coalesced into a massive phoenix apparition that let out a clear cry as it soared toward Bai Jingshu!
"Bang!"
Bai Jingshu was sent flying like a broken kite, crashing against the stone wall and spewing blood as his breath faltered.
"Ye Xichen... you..." He stared at me with resentment and unwillingness in his eyes. "You think this is over? Lingxiao Pavilion will not let you go! They will do anything for this power! Hahaha..."
In his maniacal laughter, he crushed a jade talisman, transforming into a streak of light that vanished from sight. He still had an escape plan! But his last words pierced my heart like a venomous thorn.
Lingxiao Pavilion... my sect...
As the flames gradually receded, I stumbled slightly, nearly losing my balance. The awakening of power brought immense exhaustion but even more so an impact on my mind.
Li Ye Jin approached me; his wounds were slowly healing under the swirling demonic energy. He looked at me with complex emotions in his gaze. "How do you feel?"
"I..." I opened my mouth; countless words lodged in my throat, unsure where to begin. Betrayal, truth, awakening... everything had happened too quickly and too disruptively.
"Let's leave here first." Li Ye Jin did not press further; his tone returned to its usual coldness. Yet if one listened closely, it seemed to lack some of the previous deliberate distance. "Bai Jingshu has escaped; Lingxiao Pavilion will soon learn about your bloodline awakening. Nine Nether Manor is no longer safe either."
I looked at him, feeling a mix of emotions. This man had protected me in the most twisted way possible. Should I hate him or... thank him?
