Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 779

Ao Shen hurriedly healed his injuries, ensuring he reached his peak state as soon as possible. And the price for his action was the death and severe injuries of many of the troops in his Demonic Legion.

Previously, the legion was already injured after they offered their Bloodline Source to Ao Shen. But now, after giving him their life force, many people died. If it were not for the fact the demon race had a naturally powerful physical body and higher life force than races like humans, more people would have died.

Despite this severe sacrifice, 99% of these demons were willing. Before participating in this battle, they prepared for their death. Ao Shen and the other tribe chiefs trained them with the idea that the human might besiege them as soon as the battle began.

The upper echelon of the demon race knew many people or races did not want to see an Eternal Emperor appear in the demon race. Because of this fear, Ao Shen has always been low-key and rarely revealed his strength.

He did not even reveal he was an Innate Dragon. So far, during the battle, he also rarely used his demon form to prevent accidents.

As such, every soldier in the demon legions came to this battle prepared not to leave alive. They would sacrifice their bodies, souls, and lives to ensure Ao Shen's success.

"Phew," exhaled Ao Shen as he returned to his peak fighting shape. Without wasting time, he took out Jingwu Hua's heart and refined it. He absorbed her Three-Legged Golden Crow Bloodline, which was unique.

The Golden Crow Clan only has one leg. But only Jingwu Hua's Lineage is special since their bloodline has mutated, acquiring two extra legs. The first Emperor of the Clan–who proved the Dao during the Ancient Emperor Era–was also of this lineage. There is a high chance Jingwu Hua and her father are descendants of the Golden Claw's Ancestor.

"Truly a unique bloodline," muttered Ao Shen after absorbing it. The Three-Legs Golden Crow have some Innate Aura in their bloodline from when they were Innate Creatures.

Simultaneously, their bloodline has been nourished twice by the Grand Dao Source, making it unique even amongst Royal Demon Bloodline.

Ao Shen felt the power coursing through his veins.

'The middle of 7-Leaf. However, I can feel I'm approaching a barrier; no, it should be a limit.'

He frowned after feeling this sensation. He could sense if he waited for a while, his strength would reach that barrier. And if he absorbed another potent bloodline, he would get there even sooner.

'According to my calculations, Jingwu Hua's bloodline should have granted me 8-Leaf Strength–at the very least. And now, I can feel myself approaching a limit. Is it impossible for my Chaos Bloodline to achieve Dao Ancestor Strength?'

Ao Shen was not willing to accept such a fact. His Emperor Path relied on this bloodline. The fate of the demon race depended on this plan.

He could not and would not accept failure.

'I just need more bloodline to break the limit.'

A ruthless light flashed in his eyes. If he could not pass that barrier, he would take the risk and begin absorbing Human Bloodlines.

Ao Shen took a deep breath to calm down. He checked on his Dao Tree and frowned. He discovered his Chaos Innate Law was still brewing. Even the Golden Crow's bloodline was not enough to gestate it.

"Let's move to the next target."

He teleported to a corner of the Southern Quadrant. On a small and barren planet, he saw a beautiful woman with a phoenix mark on her forehead sitting cross-legged and meditating, surrounded by formation.

Ao Shen frowned as he saw no signs of a legion or battle, making him wonder if this place was a trap.

"Enjoying yourself?"

His voice traveled innumerable distances and headed directly to Huo Fenghuang's ears. She opened her eyes and looked at the visitor. A brilliant light flashed deep in her eyes that no one could detect.

Huo Fenghuang stood up from her meditative pose. Her actions were slow, smooth, and elegant; she displayed a level of nobility engrained deep in her bones. She took one step and appeared in the atmosphere outside the planet, facing Ao Shen.

She looked at him up and down. _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

"Chaos Bloodline?' She shook her head. "I don't know whether you're brave, stupid, or ignorant."

"What does that mean?" said Ao Shen with an ugly complexion. He felt the latter knew some great secrets vital to him.

"Emperors like to leave means in their bloodline to ensure their successful arrival," explained Huo Fenghuang with a sneer. "And even those that don't do that will leave means in their bloodline to prevent other people from stealing. So, how could it be easy to absorb so many bloodlines and incorporate them?"
