Divine Brilliance

Chapter 907: Looks Like But Isn’t

There were evidently fewer criminals on the fourth layer than on the third.

Spiritual Energy was thin but the region was hundreds of times larger. It took Zong Shou a full 4 days to find the entrance.

This place was different from the previous two.

It was a world wrapped in flames with magma all over. When one exhaled, one would give out flame energy. There were only a few rare places that could support life.

Based on what Lu Wubing said, this was called the Magma Fire Death Jail.

This layer was where the Lu Family punished their Celestial Realm Cultivators.

In this jail not only was it tough to survive, every midnight one would go through a technique similar to the Marrow Burning Blood Spirit Curse.

The only thing was that the Marrow Burning Blood Spirit Curse used the lifeforce and energy of the Lu Family people as fuel.

In this world, what was burned was the marrow and Vital Energy of the criminals itself.

When Zong Shou entered the fifth layer, it was just nice when the technique executed.

He was totally caught off guard as it exploded out within his body.

In an instant, Vital Energy flowed backward and charged into his eyes.

This time what it provoked wasn’t his Sky Burning Blood.

Within his Soul Ocean, the Nine Tail Sky Fox, Lightning Phoenix and Water Qilin marks were affected.

All of the bloodline power gathered in his eyes.

The gate that suddenly appeared once again had a huge crack in it.

More flames surged out and imprinted into his Soul Ocean.

This caused Zong Shou’s face to turn ashen white. If not for his will and determination, he would have almost fainted right away.

What was fortunate was that the few Beast Pellets Hanxi grabbed weren’t fully refined and were still in deep slumber.

When he charged through the fifth layer, he also helped it snatch several pellets that he kept in his Heaven and Earth Bag.

The alien True Qi from Hanxi was reduced to 10% of the initial amount.

Zong Shou was barely able to survive.

This time he could clearly sense that there was something flowing in along with those flames and into the foundations of his soul.

However, there were some messy marks with the Dao word from his Soul Ocean as the source which seeped into that crack.

Zong Shou gritted his teeth and held on, bearing with it for a full two hours until the technique faded.

At this moment, Zong Shou’s clothes were totally wet and he was exhausted.

However, now he was filled with more questions.

“What is happening? I originally thought that it was a mutation of the Sky Burning Blood but now it seems like it is not only that…”

This time his other three bloodline powers were mixed in.

He was also unable to use Hanxi.

It made him totally confused, unable to think of the reason.

“Is it bloodline advancement? However, who in this world would have such a bloodline advancement. What is the thing behind the barriers of my eye?”

Millions of questions popped into his mind that he had no answers for.

At this moment, he totally used up all of his energy. Helplessly, he could only bring Lu Wubing to a place where Spiritual Veins gathered through several teleportations to rest up and cultivate.

Luckily, the Spiritual Energy in this world was relatively abundant, much stronger than in the Light Needle Death Jail.

Along with the help of medicine, in just 30 minutes Zong Shou had recovered fully.

The moment he thought about how in just a few hours he would go through the same thing once more, the Vital Energy flowed backward and he pain in every inch of his body. No matter how firm his heart was, he could only feel helpless.

But, there was something even more important than the pain.

“If I meet those Natural Variants and this thing acts up, what should I do. Although I am not afraid, I will have to be distracted. With Vital Energy flowing backward, it will be tough to control. My combat strength will be at least reduced by 30%…”

Thinking about it for a moment, he shot out several seals. In just a moment, one of them hid into the depths of his eye.

At the crucial moment, this technique could cut off the connection between his eyes and his body and soul.

Vital Energy flowing backward was due to bloodline mutation and no matter what spell he used, he couldn’t counter it. It might instead give rise to indiscernible outcomes.

Zong Shou had no choice and the only thing he thought about was to remove this painful feeling at a specific time.

Although it might have repercussions, he couldn’t worry about it too much.

In the next instant, he called out the Illusionary Heart Mirror and placed it behind his head.

He was connected soul to it by his soul. When the green light shone down, everything would be shown.

If pain was cut away, that meant that his other senses would be too.

When experts fought, they relied on their Spiritual Sense but that didn’t mean that sight wasn’t important.

Using the Illusionary Heart Mirror to replace his eyes was exactly what he needed.

However, after he summoned it out, Zong Shou was stunned.

Under the light of the mirror, there were pretty much no blind spots.

Zong Shou himself was also reflected into the mirror.

At this moment, he saw several profound marks and abnormal blood colors appear in his eyes.

“What is the reason for this?”

Zong Shou was thinking about it. However, those blood-colored runes disappeared along with the sense of pain disappearing.

Lu Wubing also sensed it. He was deep in thought.

Zong Shou didn’t think and just asked right away, “Do you know what is the reason of this?”

This person’s expression wasn’t one of confusion but careful thought. That meant that he knew something.

“I don’t know!”

Lu Wubing directly shook his head and asked instead, “Ruler has our rare direct bloodline of the Lu Family, maybe your legacy has the mark of the World Burning Blood Eye?”

“World Burning Blood Eye?”

A loud explosion sounded out in his Soul Ocean.

A memory hidden in a deep layer of his brain suddenly surged out.

World Burning Blood Eye, there really was such a memory in his bloodline legacy.

However, Zong Shou had always not bothered about Sky Burning Lu Family matters.

He only chose the Daos from the legacy which would help him to merge into his body.

He rarely came into contact with the remaining memories.

At this moment, when Lu Wubing reminded him, he dug it out from the dusty old memories.

“It doesn’t look like it…”

World Burning Blood Eye was one of the top bloodline abilities of the Sky Burning Lu Family.

His eyes would turn blood red and he would have the ability to burn a world.

However, in Lu Family records, out of the more than 20 people who had the eye, only one of them had it naturally. The Father was End Realm and the Mother was Saint Realm.

However, due to them being unable to bear the power of the eye, the few children died early.

There were 3 more people who were borrowing special Heaven Grade Spiritual Items to complete the World Burning Blood Eye.

Apart from these 4 people, the rest of them got it after they reached Saint Realm and greatly purified their bloodline power.

There had never been a person who used his own strength to have it before Saint Realm.

None of them were in the same situation as him and the recorded specialties were all different.

He also hadn’t used any precious Spiritual Items recently.
