Chapter 2054: Qi Blood Darkening! (1/2)
”Stone of Destiny, continue assessing. Is there a skill that has the potential to conceal me from opponents of Genesis Supreme's level once upgraded?” Wang Chong said, his eyes shining.
With a proper direction to look, the Stone of Destiny immediately gave a reply.
”User's request received. Assessing user's skills…
”Assessment complete. User has no skills capable of upgrading!”
Wang Chong's heart sank upon hearing the Stone of Destiny's final conclusion, his face grimacing.
”Continue assessing! Attempt all possibilities!” Wang Chong requested.
“Request received. Assessing again…
”Assessment complete. User has no skills capable of upgrading!
”Notice! User has only previously attempted to upgrade primary skills, not branch skills. Would user like to attempt this?”
The Stone of Destiny replied with something new this time.
Wang Chong's eyes brightened as he replied with glee, ”Assess all branch skills!”
”User request received. Assessing all branch skills. But this search will consume Destiny Energy. Does user wish to continue?” the Stone of Destiny said.
Wang Chong firmly nodded.
After what seemed like an eternity, Wang Chong finally heard the response he was looking for.
”Target skill detected!
”Qi Blood Darkening! A branch upgrade to the Blood Reformation ability!
”This ability can greatly modify user's Stellar Energy, blood, and mental energy, assisting the user in hiding from the senses of peak experts!
”Notice: this skill does not completely eliminate user's aura, only significantly reduce the range of user's aura so that the target cannot sense user's aura from a distance. But as a corresponding price, within one thousand feet, user's aura will be twenty times more concentrated!
”When user uses this skill and the target comes within one thousand feet, user will be directly sensed by the other party no matter how user attempts to hide!
”When using 'Qi Blood Darkening', user will consume 1 point of Destiny Energy every second, and the skill can be used for five days at maximum. Afterwards, the skill will enter a resting period for one month, unable to be used.”
Information regarding 'Qi Blood Darkening' emerged in Wang Chong's mind.
”Wonderful!”
Wang Chong grew agitated, his eyes bright, as he inspected this new ability.
Even though Qi Blood Darkening could only be used for five days, upon which it would enter a one month cooldown period, this would probably be enough to cover the distance to the divine embryo from the capital.
One point every second didn't seem like a lot, but if it were used continuously for five days, it would end up accumulating to a frightening cost of four-hundred-thousand-some points of Destiny Energy.
No wonder it's a branch skill! It consumes far more Destiny Energy than ordinary skills! Wang Chong said to himself.
In addition, Wang Chong was beginning to understand the principle behind Qi Blood Darkening. It apparently retracted those energies of a martial artist that were easier to detect to within a range of one thousand feet. This energy was isolated from the rest of the world, extremely concentrated within one thousand feet and completely imperceptible beyond it.
Whether or not I can peacefully leave the capital and fool Genesis Supreme to get the divine embryo will depend on this Qi Blood Darkening ability!
……
Late in the night, to the southeast of the capital, a black-robed figure appeared out of the void and silently observed the distant city.
A breeze ruffled the black robe, but the man's body remained fixed in the air.
The night was quiet as Genesis Supreme's eyes slowly moved away from the brightly lit Imperial Palace and settled on the King of Foreign Lands Residence to the southeast of the palace.
Next to Genesis Supreme, the Tianfu Divine Lord, who had been heavily injured in his previous battle with Wang Chong, noiselessly appeared.
”Milord, is there really nothing that can be done?”
The capital didn't seem that different from any other city of the Great Tang, but for the men in black, it had become a death zone.
The Tianfu Divine Lord scanned the area and was able to detect a barrier of ripples that no ordinary person could see covering the capital.
These ripples did no harm to ordinary people, but they were fatal to the men in black.
Around seven days ago, many men in black had infiltrated the capital, originally planning to enter the palace while Li Taiyi was on his deathbed and seize several important objects from him. But to their shock, Li Taiyi had been one step ahead of them, and the Miniature Nine Provinces Domain he had set down beneath the capital turned into a nightmare for the men in black.
Countless men in black had violently died, and if the Tianfu Divine Lord had not reacted swiftly enough, he would have also died in the capital.
Just thinking about it had his heart thumping in fear.
At his level in strength, almost no one in the world could oppose him. How could he have almost died?!
