Chapter 55 - Chapter 55: Demon Bloodline.

---

"Ding, the system has detected the host's disciple possesses excellent potential. A complimentary upgrade package is being issued!"

"Ding, reward: Supreme Blade Technique — Chaos Heavenly Blade Decision!"

"Ding, reward: Qi Yuan Burning Blood Pill, capable of awakening the host's disciple's latent Mad Demon Bloodline!"

Mad Demon Bloodline: A rare physique across countless realms. Its possessor can unleash a significant surge in combat power for a limited time, though the side effect is a descent into madness. If left unchecked, they may become a mindless killer until death claims them.

Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Well, well, didn't expect to find a hidden gem like this."

No wonder Li Wujie was so reckless, fighting without regard for consequence — it turned out his body carried the potential for a Mad Demon Bloodline. If awakened, his strength would skyrocket in a short burst, though at the cost of his sanity.

After a brief moment of thought, Ye Junlin lifted a hand and pointed toward Li Wujie. "I'm going to teach you a new blade technique."

Li Wujie instinctively held his breath.

Until now, he'd only cultivated a basic blade skill left behind by some long-deceased Great Ascension predecessor. Though Ye Junlin was undeniably powerful, Li Wujie wasn't sure if his master specialized in the blade arts.

After all, mastery in one area didn't always translate to others.

Yet, in the next moment, Li Wujie realized how foolish his doubt was.

In his sea of consciousness, a radiant golden scroll appeared, inscribed with bold, domineering characters that seemed to tear through the very heavens.

The words read: Chaos Heavenly Blade Decision.

As the scroll unfurled, endless streams of knowledge poured into Li Wujie's mind. Countless blade techniques transformed into phantom figures, demonstrating their forms in flawless, flowing movements. Li Wujie absorbed them eagerly, like a man dying of thirst drinking from an endless spring.

Within moments, Li Wujie's body trembled. His heart raced, his face flushed with excitement. "What level of technique is this? It's absurdly powerful!"

A lifetime spent chasing the blade, and only now did he realize how crude his previous skills had been. The disparity was as vast as heaven and earth.

"Disciple Li Wujie thanks Master for this priceless technique!" he shouted tearfully, bowing with fierce determination.

For a blade fanatic like him, a truly supreme technique was worth more than life itself.

Just then, Li Wujie suddenly coughed, spitting out dark red blood. His aura withered, his expression bitter.

Earlier, he had overdrawn his strength with a desperate secret technique, severely damaging his foundation. Even if he survived, his path in cultivation would have likely ended here.

"Master," Li Wujie forced a smile, "I'm afraid I'll let you down."

Ye Junlin chuckled lightly. "Nonsense. Take this pill and see what happens."

With that, he retrieved a small box and handed it over.

Li Wujie accepted it, his heart pounding. But the moment he opened it, his face twisted in disbelief.

The pill inside was pitch black, giving off an indescribable stench — it resembled nothing so much as a clump of dog feces.

At any auction house, this thing would have been dismissed as trash.

"Master… this is for me to eat?" Li Wujie's lips twitched. If anyone else had handed him this, he'd have assumed it was a cruel joke.

Even Ye Junlin looked dumbfounded.

He hadn't expected the system's so-called supreme pill to look like this — foul-smelling and revolting.

"System, you sure about this? This thing can actually awaken his Mad Demon Bloodline?"

"Ding, the host's skepticism hurts this system's feelings… boohoo~"

A soft, aggrieved voice with a hint of a little girl's tone echoed in Ye Junlin's mind.

He sighed. "Alright, alright, I believe you."

Turning back to Li Wujie, he put on a stern face. "What's with that look? Don't you trust your master? Or was that vow you made earlier just empty words?"

Li Wujie immediately felt ashamed. How could he doubt his master?

So what if it looked like dog poop? If his master said eat it, then eat it he would.

"Master! I was wrong! I'll take it right now!"

Clenching his teeth, Li Wujie threw the pill into his mouth. Instantly, a scorching power surged through him like a raging tide.

"Ah… Master, it burns…!"

Li Wujie felt like he'd been thrown into a furnace, his skin turning the color of molten iron. His injuries rapidly mended as his eyes turned blood-red. His face twisted into a savage grin, saliva foaming at the corners of his mouth like a frenzied beast losing its grip on reality.

"ROARRR!!"

A ferocious roar burst from his throat, deafening those nearby and sending a wave of terror through the crowd.

"What the hell's going on with Li Wujie?!"

"I don't know, but his aura's… terrifying. I'm getting goosebumps just being near him!"

The onlookers instinctively took a step back, their expressions full of dread.

Li Wujie's power skyrocketed, his aura wild and chaotic. He clawed at his hair, his blood-red eyes filled with madness as he screamed like a beast possessed.

"The Mad Demon Bloodline has awakened," Ye Junlin muttered.

"Ding, correct. The user will enter a temporary frenzy, requiring a powerful force to subdue them."

"Die! All of you, DIE!!"

Li Wujie's cultivation, which had been at early Unity Stage, erupted, breaking through to perfection in an instant, just a breath away from the Great Ascension Realm. Blood-red light shot from his eyes as his power spread like wildfire.

A terrifying oppressive force swept through the area, knocking cultivators aside like autumn leaves in a storm. Faces turned pale, hearts gripped by fear.

The Ancestor of the Xue Family panicked. "Ye Virtual Immortal, what's happening?!"

That was only early Unity Stage power, yet he felt as if he were facing a wild, bloodthirsty monster. It was beyond reason.

"What the hell did he feed him to make him change like this?" Hong Qianye asked, dumbstruck. He had never seen such a bizarre transformation.

"Kill!!"

Li Wujie howled and instinctively gripped his blade.

Without hesitation, he executed the most basic move of the Chaos Heavenly Blade Decision.

Instantly, the blade's aura surged, piercing the skies, imbued with a terrifying force capable of slicing through the very Heavenly Dao.

"Excellent. With his bloodline awakened, it's like adding wings to a tiger," Ye Junlin remarked, visibly pleased.

But before the thought could settle, a storm of wind howled around him.

Li Wujie, eyes bloodshot and teeth bared, raised his blade and swung it straight toward Ye Junlin's head.
