Chapter 287: Chapter 257: Forbidden Curse, Ascend to the Throne as King!
The Fierce Flood Dragon surged out, like a scarlet waterfall, submerging Albert’s figure and splashing countless waves.
Upon closer inspection, each drop of spray was a tiny, blood-colored Rune, creeping like a worm—eerie and terrifying.
What is this Curse Seal, what kind of forbidden curse is this!
Albert’s face was grim. A circle of blood rings surged around him, and the intense evaporation of his blood and qi generated immense energy, repelling the Blood Serpent.
He grasped the Crocodile Gun, activating the Blessed Weapon.
Immediately, this Divine Weapon began to awaken. Frenzied shadows congealed, resembling an ancient giant crocodile rising upright.
Muscle veins extended, flesh grew, and a layer of black scales covered its entire body. A pair of menacing golden vertical eyes locked onto Chu Yi.
It contained hunting Rules, allowing it to bite an opponent’s flesh and Soul across any distance once targeted.
Of course, since they had no contract, their relationship was merely one of employment; Albert had to feed it large amounts of the flesh and blood of fierce Beasts.
"AARGH!"
However, before the fierce crocodile could unleash its Mighty Power, its indifferent expression turned to terror, and it even emitted a mournful cry.
Blood-colored Curse Seals emerged from its head, crawling like vine roots, as if gnawed by some invisible force, greedily eroding its Rules.
What is this damn thing!
Albert was shocked and furious. He sensed the Crocodile Gun experiencing an emotion called fear, as if encountering a Nemesis, and it forcibly severed its connection with him.
The scales were fully eroded by the Curse Seal and underwent astounding transformations. It sprouted horns, sharp teeth, tentacles, lumps, and eyeballs. The creature curled into a wriggling mass of light and shadow that bubbled and expanded under high temperatures.
The next moment, Albert sensed something amiss and immediately threw the Crocodile Gun. But the weapon extended an indescribable head. It smiled at him and activated its hunting Rules.
"SPLAT!"
Albert’s vision turned black. His massive werewolf head was severed remotely, landing in the Blood Serpent’s mouth.
The fully activated Blessed Weapon had turned on its own master!
Nice item.
Chu Yi firmly grasped the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd and flashed to Albert’s headless body as a coiling Blood Serpent obediently carried a head to him.
The additional power of the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd originated from this primal Curse Seal. It devoured powerful enemies, nurturing an existence comparable to an Artifact Spirit.
The Crocodile Gun was eroded by his blood-colored Curse Seal and inflicted with a weakening debuff. Its contained Rules were seized by the Blood Serpent, and it became his slave Beast.
However, this Power of Rules could not be restored, diminishing with each use. Therefore, Chu Yi had the Blood Serpent directly sever Albert’s head, completing the kill!
Bastard!
Albert was fuming. Though he had lost his body, werewolves possessed resilient Life Force. They wouldn’t die immediately even if beheaded, let alone a Golden Child, who was capable of limb regeneration.
"CRUNCH! CRUNCH!"
The Blood Serpent, its mouth full of sharp teeth, began to chew. This forced Albert’s suppressed anger back down as it devoured his entire head, erasing his revival blessings.
I can’t believe it, Albert lost again... again!
What on earth is this human’s bloodline!
So fast, how long has it been! This Golden Child Albert is such a disappointment!
The Golden Child is so vulnerable, beaten time and again by a mere Blood Meal! It’s completely disgraceful to us werewolves!
"..."
Witnessing this scene, the Alien Races’ pupils contracted. They were unable to believe what they saw was real. The Golden Child facing such a miserable defeat was simply unbelievable!
The first time, it was a sneak attack, which could be excused. But the second time, he was crushed head-on without any resistance.
"Stop!"
As Albert was about to be devoured by the Blood Serpent, a fierce shout rang out like a thunderclap. It blossomed into a level-eighteen hurricane that spread across the audience, causing numerous unfortunate Alien Races to be blown away like kites with broken strings.
However, this fierce shout had no effect on the Blood Ladder.
Under the surprised gazes of the crowd, a throne forged of ribs and Iron Swords appeared in the void, upon which the Nus Wolf King sat majestically, looking down upon the ants below.
"Human, your courage is commendable, but it ends here," the Wolf King said faintly.
Albert was his descendant. Regardless of his inadequacy, he couldn’t be killed in public, as it would be an affront to the Nus tribe.
At the same time, he felt a killing intent towards Chu Yi.
This human had accomplished such feats at a young age. If allowed to grow, especially with support from the Morgan family, he would become a great threat.
If not for the Blood Ladder’s isolating effect, he would have personally intervened to eliminate Chu Yi.
"Great-grandfather!" Albert’s face lit up; even his Great-grandfather had appeared.
Despite such a humiliating defeat, to survive, he disregarded his dignity.
This peculiar Curse Seal was actually gnawing on the immortality blessing bestowed upon him by the Wolf Gods. If left unchecked, he would truly die.
"You heard him! My Great-grandfather has spoken. If you let me go, you’ll gain the friendship of the Nus tribe..."
Albert’s attitude softened, gaining some confidence. He had always been proud, so lowering himself like this brought overwhelming shame.
"What are you shouting for? Do you want to bark like a dog?" Chu Yi glanced at Albert speechlessly; the wolf cub looked as if he wanted to tear him to pieces.
"POP!"
The Blood Serpent shook its head and then, with one gulp, crushed Albert’s head into a mist of blood.
It licked its mouth. Originally formed from the Curse Seal, it could instantly refine all substances.
The next moment, a small, golden Wolf Soul escaped from the Blood Serpent’s mouth, frantically fleeing towards the area outside the Blood Ladder.
But a blazing bolt of lightning soared out, and a jade-like white hand, gleaming brilliantly, captured the Wolf Soul, tossing it into the Ten Thousand Souls Ridge.
As the farm manager’s proxy, Jiu Ying, unnoticed by its master, secretly took a bite. Finding it unpalatable, it disdainfully tossed the Wolf Soul into the Netherworld, nourishing Chu Yi’s breeding farm.
"What!"
Witnessing Albert’s death, completely disregarding the Nus Wolf King’s presence, the crowd was shocked. Even the Nus Wolf King’s intervention had been useless; the human had killed Albert anyway.
How dare he!
The Nus Wolf King’s expression turned somber, his gaze icy and piercing, fixated on Chu Yi. This meant a feud to the death.
Through his bloodline, he sensed that a descendant had lost the protection of the Wolf Gods—thoroughly killed and erased from the Dark World.
"HISS..."
The void distorted. Innumerable Runes ascended, forming a portal adorned with skulls, from which numerous tendrils branched out.
Countless dismembered limbs and mutilated corpses rolled within the portal, emitting an overwhelming pressure.
This was a Bloodline Domain. Upon reaching the Radiant Moon level, one condensed a Bloodline Gate.
"You, how dare you!"
Beneath the starry sky, a vast pressure surged. Everyone felt a chill in their Soul, as if they were 10,000 meters beneath the sea, about to be crushed by the immense weight!
This time, the Nus Wolf King was truly infuriated. Not only had his descendant been killed, but his own dignity had also been insulted.
He decided to wait outside the Blood Ladder; this human would have to come out eventually.
Chu Yi sauntered leisurely, as if nothing had happened, and began to ascend the next flight of stairs.
The greater the calamity, once overcome, the more complete his Human King Body would become.
In other words, the Human King Body fed on calamity.
「Soon.」
He stepped onto the 990th step.
From this level onward, the Guardians transformed into even more indescribable creatures.
One was a cloud of mingled dismembered limbs that twisted into grotesque shapes. It stretched out sticky tentacles, and venomous human faces emerged, pieced together from the corpses of countless powerful beings...
Another was a twin-headed giant, the size of a mountain, its belly swollen high like a woman nine months pregnant, continuously ballooning into a fleshy orb...
There was also a slender figure clad in armor, adorned with bright feathers, yet it was a bird-like humanoid with 3,000 claws...
Fortunately, Chu Yi possessed Retrospection Skills, enabling him to restore himself to peak condition before tackling each new step.
"BOOM—"
One fierce battle after another allowed the Alien Races to witness Chu Yi’s unparalleled bloodline. He was single-handedly ascending the Thousand-Layered Blood Ladder—it was truly extraordinary.
Even if some knew the secrets of the Blood Ladder, one still needed the requisite strength to ascend it.
「Several hours later.」
Chu Yi stepped onto the 999th step of the Blood Ladder. Just one more layer, and he would enter the palace and ascend to the throne.
