In Wei Yang palm, the illusory black flame slowly withdrew.
Only a palm-sized, equally illusory black wisp of fire remained, trembling faintly like a candle flickering in the wind. This fragment of the flame was already gravely damaged, its power falling to the peak Dou Huang level.
That was only because Wei Yang had deliberately held back. Otherwise, with such a tiny volume, it wouldn't even be enough to fill the gap between Death Life's teeth.
When it was separated from the main flame, this Nihility Devouring Flame fragment probably never imagined it would one day fall to such a pitiful state.
"So weak it's pitiful. Forget it, let me have you shine once more before you're gone." Wei Yang shook his head lightly as he looked at the flame in his palm. He had no intention of keeping it.
After all, only one Nihility Devouring Flame can exist between heaven and earth. No matter how much effort he put into nurturing this fragment, it would never become the true Nihility Devouring Flame.
Holding the fragment of flame, Wei Yang raised his hand and slapped at the distant Bei Wang through the air.
Boom!
The fragment instantly scattered into countless sparks and was forcibly slapped straight into Bei Wang's body. Immediately, the faint trace of Wei Yang's bloodline force within Bei Wang—one that had remained thin even after devouring countless strands of Black Demon Lightning—
Suddenly flared to life. It roared, boiled, and surged forth, swarming over the incoming sparks and devouring them all in an instant. Not long after, Bei Wang's body trembled slightly, and a thin, illusory layer of black flame ignited across his surface, visible to the naked eye.
This flame's power wasn't strong. It looked frail and unstable, trembling on Bei Wang's skin as if it could extinguish at any moment. However, it survived—tenaciously—and even desperately devoured the surrounding arcs of lightning, growing little by little.
Watching this quietly from afar, Wei Yang nodded slightly.
When that drop of blood essence had left his body, he had already stripped away all traces of the Heavenly Flame within his bloodline. Thus, this drop of blood essence carried not even a hint of Death Life Flame.
In this matter, Wei Yang was extremely selfish. He would never allow anyone besides himself to possess even a single thread of Death Life Flame. Even if it was just a trace carried through bloodline, and even if it existed in a puppet body he fully controlled—he still refused.
He removed the possibility of any hazard at its source.
However, while that drop of blood essence had been stripped of the Heavenly Flame, it still carried the bloodline of the Hou. Therefore, its natural trait—the ability to feed on lightning and fire—remained intact.
Thus, after devouring the Nihility Devouring Flame fragment, and with the domineering remnant characteristics of Death Life Flame within the bloodline, it automatically merged the fragment into the bloodline, transforming it into a bloodline flame.
Aside from the fragment of the Nihility Devouring Flame, this growing bloodline power also began merging the Black Demon Lightning into itself. If it fed on lightning and fire, then naturally, lightning and fire would become its strength.
As time passed—
Within Bei Wang's bloodline, after fusing with the Nihility Devouring Flame fragment and Black Demon Lightning, a certain qualitative change gradually occurred. The once thin bloodline suddenly began to grow ferocious and forceful.
It ravenously devoured energy, strengthening itself endlessly.
Under the endless nourishment of the Black Demon Lightning, the bloodline—now infused with void and thunder power—began flowing through Bei Wang's entire body, growing more dominant and concentrated.
Combined with Bei Wang's own noble lineage—the Ancient Void Dragon King bloodline—
Boom!
The illusory black flame burning across Bei Wang's body surged higher, swirling upward into the sky. Within the black flame danced countless strands of black lightning. From the looks of it, it truly resembled a faint shadow of Death Life Flame in its destructive black-fire form.
Fwoosh—
The illusory black flames roared fiercely.
Crackle crackle—
Black lightning arced and danced. They engulfed Bei Wang's entire body, transforming him into a humanoid torch of black lightning flame.
Roar—
Bei Wang clenched his fists and roared toward the heavens. In his icy eyes, black flames and lightning flickered, making him resemble a peerless demonic fiend descending upon the world.
Black scales began to grow across his skin, spreading from his arms outward. Sharp fangs extended from his mouth, and steel-like talons emerged from the tips of his fingers and toes.
These scales and claws differed from Wei Yang's, because Bei Wang possessed a fusion of Ancient Void Dragon Clan bloodline and Hou bloodline—a strange hybrid form. His transformation resembled something between a Dragon and a Hou.
"Tsk tsk." Wei Yang rubbed his chin, clicking his tongue softly.
This puppet really had something.
Its aura already carried traces of its own unique presence, looking very much like a weakened copy of himself.
Although it lacked the most crucial Death Life Flame, it carried the Hou bloodline—one that had been strengthened by feeding on the Nihility Devouring Flame fragment and the Black Demon Lightning.
Its foundation was terrifyingly strong, and in terms of sheer uniqueness, there was nothing else in the world like it. After all, neither the Nihility Devouring Flame fragment nor the Black Demon Lightning were anything ordinary.
Bearing the Ancient Void Dragon King bloodline, the Hou bloodline, the Nihility Devouring Flame fragment, and the Black Demon Lightning—these four terrifying inheritances fused into one body—Bei Wang's configuration was ridiculously luxurious.
"This puppet… is going to be troublesome." Wei Yang sighed in amazement. He seemed to have personally created a terrifying existence.
After a moment of marveling, he saw that Bei Wang had completely stabilized and was steadily growing stronger. Wei Yang slowly withdrew his focus and began turning attention back to himself.
"Black Demon Lightning is helpful for me too." He murmured quietly.
With a wave of his hand, an arm-thick Black Demon Lightning bolt was grabbed out of the air. His illusory black flame swept across his palm, swallowing the lightning in an instant.
"Mhm."
Wei Yang closed his eyes slightly, carefully sensing the changes.
A surge of exceptionally pure energy erupted from within his body, spreading to his limbs and bones. As it flowed through his meridians and muscles, it carried a faint tingling sensation.
Like threads of electricity seeping through him, the energy caused every organ and cell within his body to burst with an indescribable comfort and ecstatic pleasure.
"Phew… comfortable. Black Demon Lightning tastes pretty good." He couldn't help taking a deep breath. Then he opened his eyes and inhaled sharply.
A strange devouring force burst forth, and the ten-plus bolts of Black Demon Lightning flickering not far away vanished as if swallowed by nothingness—before being inhaled directly into Wei Yang's body.
Crackle crackle~
After devouring more than ten bolts of Black Demon Lightning at once, black electric arcs flickered across Wei Yang's skin. At the same time, a second wave of astonishingly vast and pure power surged up from within him, flooding into his limbs and bones.
This time, the tingling sensation was even stronger. Under this tingling, the cells within his body seemed to strengthen slightly.
"Black Demon Lightning really can enhance my physique." Wei Yang wasn't surprised.
The Hou fed on lightning and fire. Naturally, its physical body was exceptionally powerful—one of the strongest among all creatures. Even the Ancient Void Dragons fell short in comparison. The higher the level of lightning or fire, the greater the benefit it brought to a Hou.
To feed on Black Demon Lightning in such extravagant quantities… even the ancient Hou of antiquity probably never enjoyed such luxury.
Gulp~
Wei Yang's throat rolled gently.
As the tingling energies were absorbed, he could clearly feel not only his physique strengthening—albeit slowly—but even his nearly stagnant Dou Qi realm showing signs of gradual growth.
He lifted his head, staring at the countless, sky-filling Black Demon Lightning stretching endlessly into the distance.
A blazing hunger surged into his eyes.
"Perhaps… Five-Star, or even Six-Star… isn't far away."
"All of this… is my delicious food!"
Wei Yang licked his lips greedily.
A low growl of excitement slipped from his throat, unable to be restrained. At this moment, under the influence of his bloodline, these violent Black Demon Lightning bolts appeared in his eyes as the most exquisite delicacies in the world.
