Volume 1: The Decline of the Yue Family Chapter 32: Do You Want to Take It or Not Two More Updates

  Yue Cheng couldn't help but open the bottle cap, and a huge energy instantly filled the room. The energy inside the jade bottle seemed to have a connection with Yue Cheng, and he felt that after opening the cap, his blood was no longer under his control, flowing in different directions within his body, as if searching for something.

  "What a powerful energy." Yue Cheng thought to himself, unexpectedly, just one drop of Dou Emperor's essence blood had such a strong energy. If the Dou Emperor were here in person, what kind of aura would that be? It wouldn't be much weaker than his own peak five-tribulation散仙 cultivation.

  "Should I take it?" Yue Cheng's heart was filled with conflicting thoughts, feeling the powerful energy aura inside the jade bottle. He had confidence that even if he couldn't awaken the Dou Emperor bloodline within his body, this strong energy would still bring him immense benefits in his cultivation. A single drop of Dou Emperor's condensed essence blood was not inferior to any heavenly treasure, and if he took it, he would definitely gain unimaginable benefits.

  "I'll take it, and then find an opportunity to repay the Yue family later." Yue Cheng made up his mind that he couldn't let go of this good thing, even if it meant owing the Yue family a favor. He could always repay them later when his cultivation reached its peak.

  After making up his mind, Yue Cheng's heart was no longer conflicted. He put the jade bottle on and jumped onto the stone bed, sizing up the red ** inside the stone basin. This red ** had a slightly thick feeling, with a faint blood-red color. A rich spiritual energy also emanated from it, which could be seen as a rare treasure.

  "The Thousand Year Blood" Yue Cheng had just heard Yue Zishan say that the red stuff on this stone bed was "Thousand Year Blood", but he didn't know what material it was refined from. Given the current status and situation of the Yue family, they shouldn't be able to afford such a large sum, it seemed like something left behind by their predecessors.

  Yue Cheng took off all his clothes, revealing a sturdy and robust body line. Although Yue Cheng couldn't cultivate Qi, his body was very strong, which was something he hadn't expected. A strong body was too important for a cultivator.

  Naked, Yue Cheng held the jade bottle containing the Emperor's Blood and slowly walked towards the stone bed where the Millennium Blood Fatty Acid was located. His heart also became tense, he didn't think that he still had such good fortune. Yue Cheng wasn't particularly interested in the Emperor's Bloodline, what he cared about was how much benefit this Emperor's Pure Blood could bring to himself.

  "Second brother, do you think Xiao Cheng has a chance of awakening the Dou Emperor's bloodline?" Outside the secret room, Yue Zishan was even more anxious than Yue Cheng. The Dou Emperor's bloodline was the last trump card of the Yue family. If the Dou Emperor's bloodline awakened successfully, the Yue family would have hope to stand at the peak of the Xuantian Continent again.

  "This is also hard to say, as long as you can awaken even 20-30% of your bloodline, there's hope that in the future you'll break through to the terrifying cultivation power of our ancestors." Yue Zifeng replied, "The Emperor is a god-like existence, but nowadays it seems like even those with the Emperor's lineage are rare. Without an extremely good innate talent, it's impossible to break through to the Emperor's realm."

  Yue Cheng slowly walked into the stone bed's thousand-year-old blood pool, his entire body except for his head submerged in the crimson liquid.

  "How can it be so cold, even colder than ice." Yue Cheng soaked into the thousand-year-old blood fat, his whole body couldn't help but shiver, and then his whole body kept trembling, a piece of extremely cold air wrapped around his body, as if his body was about to be frozen stiff.

  "It's so cool." Yue Cheng couldn't help but slightly mobilize his energy to resist, and if he didn't mobilize his energy, it would be fine. But once he did, the cold air from the thousand-year-old ice crystal suddenly penetrated through Yue Cheng's body into his internal organs, making it seem as though his meridians and five viscera were about to freeze up.

  Yue Cheng hastily stopped his cultivation, slightly opening the jade bottle. A strong energy once again filled the secret room. After a moment of hesitation, Yue Cheng slowly tilted the mouth of the jade bottle downwards. A thread of true energy emerged from his hand, and a drop of bright red liquid, about the size of a fingertip, was held in the palm of his hand.

  "Is this the essence of Dou Di's blood?" The crimson liquid floated in Yue Cheng's palm, a powerful energy aura filled the entire secret room, and Yue Cheng felt his own blood surging with excitement. The chill in his body that had been invaded by the thousand-year-old Blood Fat was dispelled by the turbulent flow of his blood.

  "What a powerful energy." Looking at the Emperor's Blood in his palm, Yue Cheng thought to himself that if he were to absorb all of this energy, the benefits would be astonishing. However, Yue Cheng also had some worries - this was the Emperor's Blood, and he cultivated True Qi, which was completely different. If his True Qi couldn't absorb this drop of Emperor's Blood, it would be troublesome. The energy of the Emperor's Blood wasn't something that his current mid-Opening Realm cultivation could suppress. What if this Emperor's Blood couldn't be absorbed by him and instead stayed in his body to counterattack? That would be a huge problem.

  Worry about returning worry, after all, who has not experienced such a thing, maybe this phenomenon will not appear. Yue Cheng swallowed the Dou Emperor's blood into his stomach without hesitation, if something unexpected happens, then he would be unlucky.

  "Ah, it's so hot!" The pure blood of the Dou Emperor had just been swallowed into his belly when a surge of extremely hot energy suddenly spread throughout his body from his heart. Wherever this energy passed through, Yue Cheng felt that the meridians and muscles inside him were slowly withering away. This feeling was truly unbearable, as if a flame had ignited within his body.

  As the fierce flames burned within him, Yue Cheng's face also began to sweat profusely, his complexion turning deathly pale. His eyes gleamed with a reddish glow. The intense heat still coursed through his meridians, causing his blood to churn and boil violently. Under the scorching energy, his blood seemed to evaporate, starting to congeal instead.

  "This energy is too powerful." Yue Cheng could no longer bear the rolling of the thousand-year-old blood, and at this time, his upper body had lost consciousness under the strong energy flow, as if he was paralyzed. The skin on his upper body had already begun to rapidly age and wither, and rows of bones were visible under the withered and aged skin, looking somewhat eerie. But it didn't end there, the scorching energy continued to flow into Yue Cheng's lower body, causing the same aging and withering of the skin, muscle atrophy, and even his blood began to solidify.

  The scorching breath that had been simmering in his heart finally spread throughout his body, leaving no part untouched. At this moment, Yue Cheng looked as if he had aged several decades overnight, his entire body reduced to skin and bones, with every skeletal structure visible beneath the withered skin. The muscles on his cheeks had also shriveled up, and his eyes had sunk deep into their sockets, giving him a ghastly and terrifying appearance.
