Chapter 1307: Chapter 1263: Speculating the Great Secret of the Human Race, Eliminating the Concealed Risk Within the Body!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

At that moment, Xiao Chen’s eyes shone with divine light. In an instant, he pierced through the void, severing several branches of the Devil Sky-reaching Vine, and even buried his blade deep into the main trunk of the vine.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Right after that, the Devil Sky-reaching Vine hummed loudly. Within its various blood grooves, different types of Spiritual Liquid began to disappear at a rate visible to the naked eye. The branches Xiao Chen had cut were rapidly regenerating.

Even Xiao Chen couldn’t help but marvel at the fact that the Sky-reaching Vine, named after a demon, was indeed terrifying to the extreme.

He was a King, wielding the vast power of Kings, but even so, his attacks barely scratched it. If in a land with no natural predators it were left to grow unchecked, what level of terror would it develop into in the future? Indeed, the thought was most terrifying!

Hmm?

It was at that moment, as Xiao Chen was retracting his spiritual will, that something unusual within a blood groove caught his eye and grabbed his attention!

Inside that particular blood groove, there was also a minuscule nebulous blob of Spiritual Liquid, just a tiny wisp. It was neither the jade-green Spirit Extract produced by the Devil Vine after absorbing other substances, nor was it the Divine Blood Essence peeled from the bones and blood of Divine Clan Martial Artists.

However, the aura it emitted evoked in him a profound sense of revulsion, a feeling of utter incompatibility that seemed to come from the deepest recesses of his heart. He even felt as if he’d encountered this aura somewhere before.

Yet at this moment, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t recall it. For a Supreme King to have memories that elude him was highly abnormal.

But he was certain that he had indeed encountered this aura before; he just couldn’t remember exactly what it was!

"Yuan’er, that energy within the blood groove, what is it refined from?"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen spoke out, his voice tinged with bewilderment.

Following Xiao Chen’s gaze, Zi Yuan looked over and a look of disgust also rose on her small face.

"Master, even Yuan’er doesn’t know where it has been refined from. I’ve noticed the liquid in that blood groove before, but the aura it emits makes me uncomfortable, evoking an innate rejection in my heart, as though touching it would bring about misfortune."

Pausing for a moment, Zi Yuan continued, "Master, as stated in the Pharmacopoeia, the world has spawned countless creatures after existing for too long, all of which are post-natal beings. Even the essence of Spirit Medicine has impurities, let alone ordinary plants and the common people of the God Clan. So, it’s probably just a refinement of impurities!"

Hearing Zi Yuan’s words, Xiao Chen remained silent. His mind seemed to have grasped at something, but then in a moment of vagueness, it was gone.

Buzz!

In the next moment, Xiao Chen waved his hand, and a crystalline drop flew out from the blood groove to appear in the palm of his hand. Putting this repulsive aura under scrutiny, he felt it even more clearly.

"Master!"

In the next instant, Zi Yuan exclaimed in shock as Xiao Chen absorbed the evil-aired crystalline drop into his body.

"This is!"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen’s eyes flashed with horror, and the King’s Momentum surged around him. That very moment, he expelled the crystalline drop that he had absorbed, forcing it out of his body.

The power of a curse!

No wonder it felt familiar. He had once been cursed by an opponent. However, the curse power in front of him was far too trivial, a faint, insignificant trace, even smaller than a strand of his hair.

Even if carelessly thrown on the Earth, it would go unnoticed by any Warrior.

What’s more crucial was that this fragment of curse power was different—it carried a hint of divinity. Following suit, Xiao Chen drew out a drop of Divine Blood Essence from another blood groove.

It was a drop of the Divine Blood of some mystical beast, into which he dissolved the tiny strand of curse power.

Buzz!

In an instant, the curse power merged flawlessly with the Divine Blood. The curse-infused Divine Blood became even more resplendent with divine power and grew much stronger.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Xiao Chen once again unleashed an overwhelming force, attempting to strip the curse power from within the drop of Divine Blood, but to no avail!

He failed!

He was actually unable to remove the curse power from the Divine Blood!

He extracted another drop of Divine Blood, comparing it to the curse-infused drop. Aside from different levels of potency, they appeared indistinguishable; even the aura of the curse previously emitting from the force had vanished entirely!

The perfect integration of curse power and Divine Blood!

Had he not witnessed it himself, he would have never believed that such a thing could occur. The feeble curse power, once merged with Divine Blood, became undetectable, even to Kings!

Truly terrifying beyond measure, if this type of cursed power were to be integrated into Divine Blood and secretly injected into an enemy, what a scene that would be!

Wait!

Suddenly, a flash of understanding shot through Xiao Chen’s mind—the perfect integration of curse power and Divine Blood.

Hiss!

He drew in a sharp breath at this moment, thinking of the Luo Family of Eastern Wasteland Luolong City, the Fire Phoenix Clan of the Southern Expanse.

"Could it be?"

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen suppressed the turbulence in his heart. Without this Devil Sky-reaching Vine, he would have had no way of knowing all these complexities.

"Master, Master."

Seeing Xiao Chen’s gaze become scattered, Zi Yuan called out softly from the side, immediately pulling him back from his thoughts.

Because Xiao Chen realized he was also a victim. He had refined the Divine Blood of several Divine Clan Kings; who knew whether there was any cursed power among them.

What’s more, he didn’t know the consequences of this cursed power!

Could this be a case of sorrow following joy? Just as he was figuring out a bit about the great human plans, he stumbled into this mystery by mistake.

"Yuan’er, how much blood and bones of the Divine Clan Martial Artists did you throw into the Devil Sky-reaching Vine, and what variety of corpses did you choose to throw in!"

Xiao Chen asked Zi Yuan quickly after calming his tumultuous heart.

Although Zi Yuan didn’t know why her master was asking this, she obediently said, "Master, Yuan’er just ordered people to bring over roughly a thousand Divine Clan Martial Artists’ blood and bones without making any selections; old and young, male and female, all were included!"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded slightly, realizing that not all Divine Clan members carry the power of the curse within them—after all, the populations of the Hundred Clans of Heaven are numerous, trillions as countless as the stars.

As for the Divine Clan Martial Artists with bloodline curses, it is possible that their ancestors had refined Divine Blood.

Now, he needed to understand what the cursed power did, how to break it, and most importantly, whether the Divine Blood he refined from those three Divine Clan Kings carried this cursed power.

Of course, if he could figure out how to use this curse and even control it, it could bring unexpected benefits to the Gu Yuan Tribe in the future.

Soon, Xiao Chen’s gaze returned to the Devil Sky-reaching Vine in front of him. Whether his body carried the cursed power would still need to be determined by the vine.

After all, being a Heavenly and Earthly Treasure, even he could not detect the cursed power that could be distinguished after refinement through it. The Devil Vine, with a name that reaches to heaven and is fit to be called a King Vine, was indeed worthy of its name!

The next moment, Xiao Chen reached out and grabbed a tendril of the Devil Sky-reaching Vine. On the tendril, there were blood-red tendrils with sucker-like roughness, which he pressed into his palm.

Xiao Chen’s thoughts transmitted, heading into the vine’s body.

"You are a King-class spiritual object. Even though your strength isn’t great now, you were born a King-level being with a high grade and naturally possess more spirituality than many other spirit items. You should understand my intentions."

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Along with Xiao Chen’s thoughts, the Devil Sky-reaching Vine vibrated loudly, clearly comprehending the intentions he was relaying.

Buzz!

A cut opened in Xiao Chen’s palm, and fine blood-red tendrils probed into his flesh.

Boom, boom, boom!

Suddenly, his body erupted with a roaring sound, and within his Heavenly Meridians, the qi, blood, and divine power began to circulate autonomously.

Gulp, gulp!

The fine blood vessels rooted in Xiao Chen’s flesh began to pulsate slightly—though the sound was very soft. Of course, the highly sentient Devil Vine did not dare absorb Xiao Chen’s King Blood.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Finally, after a full quarter of an hour, amidst the golden, clear blood, a trace of evil momentum emerged.

There really was one!

In fact, Xiao Chen understood that ordinary citizens might not have it, but for the Supreme Strong Ones of the Divine Clan, if the human race had set up a grand scheme, the likelihood of these Strong Ones carrying cursed Divine Blood was high.

Xiao Chen’s mind sank within his body, feeling the separation of this cursed momentum. The cursed power in his body was much larger than the previous trace, about the size of a strand of hair.

Clearly, it came from just one Divine Clan King. Xiao Chen guessed it was from the Rainwood Monarch he had slain, which matched the previous demise of the North Sea Xuan Family by the Divine Clan, both related to the power of water.

After extracting the cursed power, Xiao Chen’s heart settled down. After all, the unknown is the most terrifying, and even he, as a Supreme King, could not escape it.

Buzz!

The next moment, Xiao Chen squeezed out a drop of heart’s blood, and in mid-air, it transformed into an ancient talisman before finally merging into the body of the Devil Sky-reaching Vine.

This was the Master and Servant Contract, certainly not the Eternal Covenant akin to that between him and the Little Pegasus as brothers-in-arms.

This was a genuine Master and Servant Contract, with Xiao Chen as the master and the Devil Sky-reaching Vine as the servant. Once the contract was completed, the life and death of the Devil Vine would be wholly in Xiao Chen’s hands.

Originally, the Devil Sky-reaching Vine grew in the Mountain and River Seal Small World, and Xiao Chen was not worried about its growth. However, after witnessing its plundering ability, he decided to take an extra precaution.

With the cursed power extracted from his body, Xiao Chen’s mind relaxed. He felt the day to leave the Divine Clan’s Small World was not far off and therefore did not dispatch the Tribal Warriors to plunder.

Instead, he let the Starry Sky Battleship drift freely. If they encountered a Divine Clan gathering place, they would strike, and of course, he would enter deep into the Small World to stabilize his cultivation.
