Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

"So she's that guy's daughter. No wonder she has divine bloodline. She truly surpasses her father."

Xiao Xuan nodded, his gaze suddenly sweeping over Xiao Jue and Xun'er, and he smiled meaningfully, "However, in the end, it was still my Xiao clan that benefited."

As if she understood the meaning behind Xiao Xuan's words, a shy blush rose on Xun'er's beautiful face.

Standing by the pool, Xiao Jue felt the strange and terrifying power. Not only did he not feel any discomfort, but the blood in his body began to flow rapidly. He seemed to hear some extremely eager and joyful sounds.

"Is this the power of the Xiao clan's bloodline?"

Xiao Jue's hand clenched slightly. This power should have completely left the Xiao Clan, but unexpectedly, he could still sense it again at this moment.

"Xiao Jue, enter the blood pool and inherit the last bloodline power of the Xiao clan."

"Brother Xiao Jue, be careful..." Hearing Xun'er's soft voice beside him, Xiao Jue nodded slightly, then without further hesitation, he stepped into the blood pool and slowly walked to the center of the blood pool.

The moment Xiao Jue entered the blood pool, the pool began to fluctuate violently. Threads of blood-red energy, as thin as silk threads, pierced Xiao Jue's body like needles, finally crashing into his pores and rushing wildly into his body.

"Hiss~"

The sudden, sharp pain caused Xiao Jue's face to turn pale instantly, and he couldn't help but gasp.

"It will hurt a bit at first. The power of the bloodline must first wash away the ordinary blood in your body before the blood with the power of the bloodline can be injected into your body again. This is the first step of the inheritance, blood exchange." Seeing Xiao Jue's face turn pale quickly, Xiao Xuan said from the side.

"Um."

Xiao Jue nodded, clenching his teeth and forcibly enduring the tearing pain. Moreover, under this intense pain, he could feel the blood in his body rapidly disappearing, and an extreme sense of weakness quickly spread from his body, causing his eyelids to droop slightly.

"Don't let him fall into a coma! Otherwise, the old blood won't be completely cleared, and the power of his bloodline won't be able to be brought to its full potential. The bloodline power of the current Xiao clan members has completely disappeared, so we can't activate it with gentle methods like other races. We can only use the most brutal methods." Seeing Xiao Jue's eyelids gradually drooping, Xiao Xuan shouted fiercely.

Hearing Xiao Xuan's stern shout, Xiao Jue suddenly shivered and quickly focused his mind, enduring the excruciating pain and extreme weakness.

Seeing Xiao Jue suffering so much, Xun'er, who was standing by the blood pool, couldn't help but clench her jade hands tightly, feeling quite distressed.

"Alas, in extraordinary times, we can only resort to extraordinary measures." Xiao Xuan sighed, then sat cross-legged beside the blood pool. The time required for blood transfusion was not short, which meant that Xiao Jue's suffering would last for quite some time.

In this quiet hall, time flew by, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye. During these ten days, Xiao Jue's body was constantly immersed in the blood pool.

After ten days of blood removal, Xiao Jue is now almost skin and bones, his face is terribly pale. If it weren't for the faint breaths still lingering in his nostrils, one might not even recognize him as a living person.

Beside the blood pool, Xun'er witnessed the changes in Xiao Jue over the past ten days, and her heart was breaking. Watching her beloved gradually become like this was a painful experience for anyone.

However, Xiao Xuan remained relatively calm about Xiao Jue's change, but he was still somewhat worried. Blood transfusions also carry some risks, and the person receiving the transfusion is at their weakest at such times.

If someone is mentally unstable, they might actually go from a critical state to taking their last breath, and then they would truly go from a state of near death to a dead person.

As for Long Yan, he wasn't worried at all. This was nothing to Xiao Jue, who had already found a new place and started refining pills again.

If the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb dares to cause trouble at this time, Xiao Xuan will probably take him down with him. That guy only wants to coexist peacefully with Xiao Xuan.

"Thump!"

As the two waited with such mixed feelings, about twelve days later, a faint sound suddenly came from the calm blood pool. Then, blood bubbles rose from the blood pool and finally burst open. At the same time, a blood-red vortex formed, and at the center of the vortex was Xiao Jue, who was as thin as a skeleton.

"The blood transfusion was successful. Next, all that is needed is to infuse blood with the power of the bloodline into his body, and Xiao Jue will be able to possess the last bloodline power of the Xiao clan once again."

Seeing this change, Xiao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly formed a hand seal. A beam of blood-red light shot into the blood pool.

"Gurgle gurgle".

As the crimson light shot in, the blood pool suddenly boiled, with blood bubbles rising continuously. At the same time, strange crimson liquid separated from the pool water, eventually climbing up Xiao Jue's body and flowing into him through his pores.

As the crimson liquid, brimming with strange energy, entered Xiao Jue's body, his originally extremely pale skin gradually regained a rosy hue, and his withered skin slowly began to spring back. Seeing this gradual improvement, Xun'er breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Senior Xiao Xuan, is there still some energy in this blood pool that you sealed away back then? If Brother Xiao Jue absorbs all of this energy, it should cause his strength to surge dramatically, right?"

"Hmm." Xiao Xuan nodded, glanced at Xun'er, and smiled, "I know what you're thinking. This kind of strength that increases rapidly by relying on external forces, if not controlled properly, will become a huge obstacle to future breakthroughs."

"However, Xiao Jue should also understand this principle, but for a Dou Sheng, this is not a limitation. On the contrary, this energy may not be enough for him to break through."

Xun'er nodded silently. She was indeed a little worried. The energy left behind by Xiao Xuan must be extremely large.

If one's strength suddenly increases dramatically, it would be extremely unwise in the long run. However, this concern was not too great, after all, Xiao Jue had joined forces with Long Yan to kill two of the Soul Clan's Four Demon Saints.

Those were powerhouses comparable to the three immortals of the ancient clans. With such strength, even breaking through to the next level was extremely difficult; what need did they have to worry about foundation or potential? (End of Chapter)
