Chapter 313
In a small fishing village by the sea, blood flowed along the rocks and into the sand, dyeing it red.
The villagers of the fishing village fell one by one, losing their lives.
Several undead who exuded an ominous presence were approaching a stone statue that still had some seaweed stains on it.
"This bloodline throbbing sensation, is this the Progenitor's existence?" one of the black-haired undead tightened his leather coat and muttered.
"What Progenitor, he's nothing but a lucky caveman" However, the black-haired undead's words were quickly cut off. A man with a tattoo on his face smiled and said: "Didn't you tell us about this? Mi Yi "
The black-haired undead lowered his head and smiled shyly, not refuting the other party's words, his gaze was still focused on the mask in the stone statue's hand.
"He doesn't know how to use blood aura, nor does he know any secret techniques derived from blood aura, let alone awakening. He's already lagging behind by over a thousand years" The tattooed undead stared at the mask in the stone statue's hand with a burning gaze: "As long as I can obtain this mask, anyone can become the Progenitor"
He was nothing but a second-generation undead. Although second-generation undead were already extraordinary figures by now, after living for so many years, he slowly understood the limitations of the undead.
All undead originated from the Progenitor Xu Fu's flesh and blood, which was the true core of the undead. The first-generation undead only had the flesh of one of Xu Fu's fingers, even after a thousand years of nourishment through the flesh and blood of other people, it was no different than growing from one finger to two fingers.
Meanwhile, the second-generation undead were developed from the first-generation undead. At first, they would only implant a single strand of flesh, but after several hundred years of development, the tattooed undead had only managed to grow it to the size of a finger.
At first, the tattooed undead also believed in what he heard from the first-generation undead, that the Progenitor was the chosen one of God, who became the Progenitor after receiving God's Revelation, but later on, he met Mi Yi, a traitor from the Mi clan.
From him, he obtained even more information about the origin of the undead. It was only a mask, and the so-called Progenitor was nothing but a lucky person who picked up the mask. According to the Mi clan's information, they relied on their bloodline to find this place, where the statue of their great Progenitor had just been picked up by a group of humans.
"Of course, I'm the only one who can get the mask, right?" The tattooed zombie was the only second-generation zombie in the group. He looked at the other zombies and said, "When I transform into a progenitor, I will upgrade your bloodline to first-generation zombies. You are all my descendants, so I will not mistreat you."
After promising the benefits, the tattooed zombie secretly began to emit the suppressive force of an elder. Only then did he walk towards the stone statue, or rather, the stone ghost mask in the statue's hand. Without hesitation, he placed a hand on the stone ghost mask.
"There are no abnormalities." The tattooed zombie's heart sank slightly, but it was still within his expectations. "Should I put it on?"
The tattooed zombie pulled out the bronze sword from his waist and hacked at the stone statue's wrist. However, the stone statue did not suffer any damage. Instead, the bronze sword was chipped.
The tattooed zombie narrowed his eyes and used all the strength in his body to fiercely slash down. A crisp sound rang out as the blade of the sword flew out and collapsed a nearby house. The sword in the tattooed zombie's hand also flew out and stabbed into the sand.
Seeing that the stone statue was completely unharmed, the tattooed zombie's expression turned grim. The statue's hand was still holding onto the mask, so unless it was absolutely necessary, the tattooed zombie didn't want to get close to the statue.
Xu Fu's final words were still echoing in his ears. Using the enemy's blood to revive him. Although he was referring to the enemy, there was no telling what would happen if they were to come into close contact with the statue.
Sensing the restless gazes of his descendants behind him, the tattooed zombie understood that there was a risk he had to take, so he approached the statue and leaned his face closer to the mask. Even if the statue's finger was blocking his way, there shouldn't be any issues with a cloth.
The tattooed zombie's ambition was soaring. He was careful not to get too close to the finger, and he could indeed sense that the thing being released from the mask was slowly being modified, but it was too insignificant.
He kept squeezing his face into the stone ghost mask, gradually forgetting about the finger, until he felt a burning sensation on his face.
「 Too slow … 」 an ancient voice resounded, causing the tattooed zombie to feel pain all over his body, followed by his senses being shattered.
Cracks began to appear on the statue, Xu Fu's naked body once again came back to life. The tattooed zombie that was leaning on his hand was sucked into his body through his finger like liquid.
His naked, well-built body was glowing under the sunlight of the seaside. The tattooed zombie's memories were being casually flipped through by Xu Fu, including the evolution of a thousand years of history, the development of the undead race, and the Mi clan's retaliation.
"Ji … Liang survived?" Although Xu Fu hadn't experienced much, his biological class far surpassed the tattooed zombie's, so he easily digested the other party's memories.
A pair of inhuman eyes stared at the trembling third-generation undead. Xu Fu stuck out his bright red tongue and revealed a malicious smile. Their bloodlines were stirred, causing most of the undead to flee, but as soon as they did, Xu Fu's figure also turned into a streak of light.
Very quickly, only two living beings were left in the fishing village: the revived Undead Progenitor Xu Fu, and Mi Yi who had been kneeling in place ever since he woke up.
"Why didn't you run, traitor of the Mi clan, my descendant?"
The descendant Xu Fu spoke of had many different meanings. Mi Yi and Mi Ze were both direct descendants of the Mi clan, in other words, Mi Liang's descendant. Not to mention the fact that Xu Fu and Mi Liang came from the same tribe, just the fact that Xu Fu's hand had fused with Mi Liang's body meant that this bloodline had been passed down to the descendants of the Mi clan. Furthermore, Mi Yi had already been turned into a third-generation undead, so he could be considered Xu Fu's descendant, so Xu Fu didn't have any issues calling Mi Yi his descendant.
"I can't accept this! Why is it that our Mi clan's descendants have been hunting undead for generations, yet all of them died young? I know very well how talented my father and uncle were, but both of them died before they even reached the age of 40, I can't accept this!"
Mi Yi looked up at Xu Fu, his eyes filled with fear and unwillingness. Through their bloodline connection, Xu Fu understood very well that Mi Yi's fear wasn't towards Xu Fu, but rather towards the destruction of his life. He was only afraid that he wouldn't be able to display his talents.
"How interesting …" Xu Fu smirked, then reached his hand out to touch Mi Yi's head, then melted into it: "Then I shall grant you the chance to display your talents"
The black flames began to burn, causing Mi Yi's leather jacket to manifest along with the black flames and began to change. Thin pieces of skin began to fly away, each of them manifesting a vengeful spirit. This leather jacket was actually made entirely out of human skin, at the same time, a palm imprint appeared on his exposed back.
Xu Fu retreated. This world of a thousand years in the future sure is interesting.
The usage of blood aura, the use of secret techniques, as well as the most important awakening, had all been developed, and Mi Yi was currently in the awakening stage.
The so-called awakening was a state that only undeads and Mi clan's Aura Summation cultivators could achieve, achieving a high degree of unity between their mind and body, then triggering a certain unique ability, similar to the emotions of the living statues. As for why Aura Summation could also produce an awakening effect, that was still unknown.
After obtaining this knowledge, Xu Fu was able to understand it with just a single thought. Blood aura could be manifested with just a single thought, even secret techniques that required blood aura to be used were instantly grasped by him, then modified according to his own circumstances.
Even awakening was nothing more than a mere thought for Xu Fu. His mind was able to control his body and communicate with the entity deep within his consciousness.
"When the conditions are right, success will follow" Xu Fu easily sensed the awakening of his so-called True Spirit, but then his expression began to change madly.
"My other self, if you have come here, then I have a piece of unfortunate news to tell you. That entity's shadow has enveloped the entire world, all of us, including you and I, are nothing more than that entity's playthings. Our fates are under its control, even our futures will be the same"
"That entity … that entity will soon become the ruler of everything, at which point, we will all become nothing more than pawns in that entity's hands, with no chance to escape"
"Whether it's the Mi clan, the Emperor, the Ultra Space-Time Squad, or if there are any other powerful individuals in your world, gather them, gather everything you can and escape from that entity's shadow"
