578 Stable (1/2)

”You mean that we can really bathe in it?” Lin Yun interrupted Enderfa. If what Enderfa said was true, then that would be too amazing. Even he was tempted.

Think about it, what if a mage's physical strength could compare to that of a Sword Saint?

”You are thinking too much… The blood of an Ancient God is one of the most terrifying things in the world. Its power isn't something you can even imagine. It would strengthen the body of any lifeform to an outrageous level, and at the extreme, it could even compare to Star Essence…”

”Damn!” Lin Yun was shocked when he heard this comparison. Star Essence was known as Noscent's hardest metal. It was rumored that the Throne of Life and the Shelter Tower had been crafted out of a large amount of Star Essence.

It was also said that armor with a smidgen of Star Essence in it would be able to resist the bombardment of 4th Tier Spells. Even sharp Spiritual Rank weapons wouldn't be able to leave any traces on it.

And as for armor completely made of Star Essence...

This was something Lin Yun had never seen before. A finger-sized piece of Star Essence weighed at least five hundred kilograms. Only Ancient Gods would be able to properly use armor made entirely of Star Essence.

If the blood of an Ancient God could make someone's body as tough as Star Essence, then everyone would yearn for it...

But why did Enderfa tell him those words?

”Hey, Enderfa, I don't get it. Wouldn't it be a good thing if the Ancient God Blood was so formidable?”

”Of course good things are good things,” Enderfa said as he rolled his eyes, ”But because the Ancient God Blood is so formidable, once you bathe in it, your body will be completely impervious to the magic elements. Do you know what that means?”

”Oh…” Lin Yun was dumbstruck. Being disconnected from magic elements meant that he would completely lose the ability to use magic. No matter how tough his body was at that time, he would be nothing more than a very tough target.

'This is a bit troublesome...'

He was a mage, and Reina walked both paths, so they couldn't afford to lose their magic ability. And the puppet was only a puppet; it didn't have a living body so the Ancient God Blood wouldn't affect it.

Xiuban was the only one that could bathe in the blood of the Ancient God. The Draconic Beastman never relied on magic when he fought, as all his magic abilities came from the magic patterns inherently hidden within his bloodline. Whether he could connect to the magic elements of the world had no importance to him...

Just as Lin Yun thought of this, Enderfa opened his mouth again. ”But Merlin, it would greatly strengthen your body if you just drank a bottle of Ancient God Blood. And more importantly, a large amount of mana will surge after you drink a bottle. A small bottle would be enough for you to break through from the High Mage realm to the Archmage realm. Oh, right, I forgot to mention, the blood of an Ancient God can also let you touch upon the purest source of the Laws. After drinking some, your casting ability will rise to a whole new level. You'll find that when you direct elemental power, the elemental power will feel like an arm. In fact, the benefits aren't that much lower than bathing in the blood…”

”Oh?” Lin Yun's eyes shone when he heard that. ”You are saying that even Reina can drink it?”

”That's right, as for why you can drink it, don't ask me. I only heard someone had done this before and had succeeded.”

”Around what time?”

”A very long time ago…”

”Oh…”

It turned out that the blood of the Ancient God wasn't completely useless to Reina. Despite not being able to bathe in it, drinking the blood would bring her formidable benefits.

Hearing this, he called Reina over. ”Reina, follow Enderfa's instructions…”

But, beyond Lin Yun's expectations, after Reina drank the blood, a golden pattern appeared on her skin. Then, a huge lattice of light wrapped around her. She looked like a huge silkworm cocoon at that time. Reina's silhouette could no longer be seen and she remained silent for a long time. No matter how many times Lin Yun called out to her, no reply came from the cocoon.

”Alright, it looks like she fell into a slumber…” After calling out to her for a very long time, he had no choice but to let her sleep in the forest. He then glanced at the puppet.

But he sighed helplessly.

The puppet was quite unfortunate compared to Reina. It didn't have a physical body, so in other words, this puppet couldn't drink the blood of the Ancient God.
