Chapter 1028: Chaotic Blood Fury
[Two years later - Bone Mountain - Boundary between Outer and Inner Layer - Damned Hell Sea]
It has already been two years since Kent arrived in hell and challenged the sixth level of hell.
Currently, he is seated inside a cave 95,000km deep in the Damned Hell Sea. Around him, faint red runes, thousands of them, emitting the power of blood, hovered, shaking the very mountain he had occupied.
Gaap, the Bloodforge Sovereign, stood 100 meters away, looking at his master with awe in his eyes.
[Blood Fury awakening]
He said, almost salivating.
The runes were indeed Blood Runes meant to awaken Kent’s Blood Fury. This Blood Fury was the second Blood Aspect ability Kent would awaken after he started walking the blood path.
He had already awakened Blood Aura, which had made both his claw aura and sword aura several times stronger. In fact, because of that, he was able to cut through the Damned Bone Fish like it was mere paper.
So it was safe to assume Blood Aspect Abilities were extremely powerful and very dangerous.
Now, Kent was awakening Blood Fury, which suggested he had made significant progress in cultivating the Primal Bone Tempering Art.
However, looking at the thousands of runes surrounding Kent, Gaap couldn’t help feeling like his body was about to explode from sheer excitement.
[The last time I checked, nobody who had ever walked the blood path, including me, had awakened Blood Fury with more than a thousand blood runes.
However, this little Blood Reaper is actually awakening his with 10,026 blood runes. Where is the logic in this?]
Gaap could only smile, watching as the blood runes circled around Kent for a few minutes before they started to move and enter his forehead.
[Run Gaap]
Gaap said to himself, transformed into a sword, and shot out of the cave right before the mountain exploded.
Chaotic blood energy suddenly burst out of Kent’s body, spreading several kilometers in under a second. Gaap, who ran out, teleported 100km away, but he was even forced to keep moving back as more blood runes kept entering Kent’s body.
[This is too much for someone like him. Just too much]
Gaap, who stood 3,000km away now, said, his expression beaming with pride as he stared at his master far in the distance.
[I made the right decision by becoming his sword]
As the seconds passed, and more blood runes continued to enter Kent’s forehead, the chaotic blood aura kept rising to the point that Gaap became vigilant.
At the moment, Kent was both a danger and a calling beacon, telling the beasts around, if there were any, to come to him. Naturally, that would be very bad for Kent.
However, Gaap was prepared for this, and thanks to refining the Resentful Blood Essences he collected, he had become much stronger.
Thankfully, even after a week, no beast came. By then, he was forced to move 10,000km away.
However, after another week, Kent opened his eyes.
His purple eyes were nowhere to be seen. Instead, in their place, a red furious gaze opened, tiny runes moving across them.
Kent clenched his fist, feeling the power gathered in it.
"So much power," he muttered before he threw a casual punch in a certain direction.
BOOM
A sonic boom erupted where he punched, creating a 1,000km-long crater.
"Damn... This is just too much," Kent smiled.
Even without the tower message, he could tell his strength had reached a whole different level. However, he decided to check out the message just to confirm.
⟪You have unlocked a new Blood Aspect Ability: Chaotic Blood Fury⟫
⟪Name: Chaotic Blood Fury⟫
⟪Aspect Rank: EX⟫
⟪Blood Runes: 10,026/105,600⟫
⟪Description: A special blood ability that supercharges your blood runes and grants you double their power. Each blood rune increases your strength by 120%⟫
⟪Note: You can only use 1,200 blood runes at the moment. To add more, you must continue cultivating the Primal Bone Tempering Art⟫
"Well, that just took a dark turn." Kent grinned and looked at the current blood runes he was using.
He had automatically activated the Chaotic Blood Fury, so he wanted to check the number of Blood Runes currently active.
"Just 300 and already this is terrifying." Kent didn’t even have to think about it to know this power was beyond him. The current him had no business awakening such terrifying power.
However, it didn’t end there.
"The fact that I still have more blood runes to awaken is already too much for me to even think about. This is just too much."
Kent stood up and flexed his muscles.
"So I now have the Blood Life Seal for health, the Blood Death Seal for Killing Intent, the Flame Veins for speed and flame resistance, and now, Blood Runes for strength." The grin on his face widened as his dragon horns appeared.
In an instant, the air around him started to warp.
Kent knew his strength was suppressed in his human form. However, in his demi-dragon form, he was on a completely different level in terms of strength.
And now that he had awakened Blood Fury, allowing him to harness the power of blood runes, he couldn’t help but wonder just what had become of him.
"At this point, who can stop me in a High World? In terms of speed, with my 35,000 Flame Veins, dragon wings, and Flame Wheel combined, even the fastest Roc will look slow in my eyes.
Then with my strength..." Kent laughed...
[Oh mine] Gaap teleported to Kent’s side, examining him from head to toe.
[Oh mine. This is just too enticing.] Gaap’s body trembled, feeling the chaotic yet bloodthirsty feeling coming from Kent.
"What do you think?" Kent asked, and Gaap smiled.
[If before I had doubts that we can’t make it to the bottom, then this time, I think the Damned Hell Sea is not ready for us.]
Gaap trembled excitedly as he transformed into his sword form.
[Although nowhere near Blood Runes, I am close to forming a Resentful Seal. But even without it, thanks to the many Resentful Blood Essences I have refined, my strength has skyrocketed.
Combining my strength with yours, I believe we are now the overlords of this damned sea.]
Kent only smiled, knowing Gaap had made this assumption just from feeling 300 Blood Runes at work.
If he were to find out he still had 900 Blood Runes dormant and over 8,000 still inaccessible, he would probably unseal himself and allow Kent to use him at his True Immortal Stage.
However, that would have been chaotic, as their opponents would also have had their cultivation bases released, or at least, the law that made them face the Heavenly Ascension Stage Hell Demons would have stopped working.
’Just as I predicted, the Primal Bone Tempering Art has reached 80% completion, but I can now use 17% of my bloodline, so that is to say I have indeed become the Overlord of the Damned Sea.’
"Gaap, let’s go. I want to see who dares block our path."
[I like the sound of that]
Kent jumped on the sword, and then, with a speed several times faster than before, they shot toward the Inner Layer.
Kent knew his next move was to form the Flame Core, so he unleashed 5% of his bloodline and 300 Blood Runes while maintaining his demi-dragon form as they moved.
This way, he was announcing that unless you had a death wish, come close to him.
In no time, they entered the Inner Layer and headed to the Core Layer.
