Chapter 1430: Chapter 1415: Essence Blood Soul Oath
“A thousand pieces?” The Great Saint of Jinghai, who had just come to his senses, was still in disbelief. “Fourth Brother, you must be joking, right? Last year, I got the list of transaction prices for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from Chaotic Sky Island. Ten years ago, a single Demon Spirit Fruit was auctioned for 6.5 million High-Grade Spiritual Stones…”
Suddenly, the eyes of the Great Saint of Jinghai widened dramatically. Before he could finish speaking, Ye Zhen had already dumped out four thousand Spirit Void Fruits in one go, just like he was dumping out his own spoiled fruit!
“These… are these really Spirit Void Fruits?” Seeing Ye Zhen dump out the Spirit Void Fruits like rotten fruits, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint was dumbfounded.
“Eat one, and you’ll know!” Ye Zhen tossed one to each of them, including Liao Feibai.
In front of Ye Zhen, the four of them ate it, and as the energy of the Spirit Fruit spread in their stomachs, they all felt an inexplicable surge of immense power. Their expressions changed, and they sat down cross-legged, concentrating entirely on refining the energy.
Just after two hours, the body of the Great Saint of Jinghai, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly trembled violently. Then, his immensely large True Body manifested, smashing all the chairs and tables in the palace into pieces.
In his trembling, the flesh of the Great Saint of Jinghai’s body visibly grew larger, and a human-head-sized lump appeared on his forehead, looking extremely peculiar!
The next moment, the eyes of the Great Saint of Jinghai lit up with ecstasy. “It’s really the Demon Spirit Fruit, the Demon Spirit Fruit that can trace the origins of the bloodline!
Just one, merely one, has enhanced the ancient bloodline within me, causing a change in my true body!”
“Well then, a thousand pieces should be enough to transform Big Brother!” Ye Zhen nodded.
In fact, the effect of the Demon Spirit Fruit varies from person to person.
For example, like a small cat with a low starting point, it still needs to devour foreign bloodlines to improve itself. Even with such extraordinary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures like the Spirit Void Fruit, it’s still very difficult, requiring hundreds of thousands of Spirit Void Fruits to enhance itself.
Of course, this is also related to the strength of the ancient bloodline provided by Ye Zhen to the small cat for devouring.
But the Great Saint of Jinghai, the Great Saint of Fug Hai, and the Great Saint of Sea-Breaking are different.
Although these three are not ancient relics, before they grew up, they each, by chance, awakened a small part of the ancient bloodline. However, even this small part of the ancient bloodline is enough for them to dominate the Outer Domain Dead Sea of the True Profound Continent.
It’s like steelmaking; previously, they had been hovering between iron and steel. Now, with a little help from the Spirit Void Fruit, they immediately achieved results.
So much so that just consuming one Spirit Void Fruit caused a change in their true body.
Soon, the Great Saint of Fug Hai suddenly roared painfully and also revealed his True Body.
The True Body of the Great Saint of Fug Hai is the Blue Flood Dragon of the Overturning Sea. When his body manifested, there wasn’t any obvious change, but two thick, several-inch-long fleshy stubs appeared on his forehead.
This change in feature was immediately understood by Ye Zhen, who carried the Black Dragon Legacy.
Originally, the Great Saint of Fug Hai was just the lowest-level flood dragon among the Dragon Clan, characterized by scales without horns or claws.
Now, the two fleshy stubs on his forehead are the nascent Dragon Horns he is about to grow.
Once these two Dragon Horns grow out, the Great Saint of Fug Hai will advance to become a Horned Dragon of the Dragon Clan, and even if his cultivation remains unchanged, his combat power will significantly increase.
Unsurprisingly, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint also demonstrated his True Body.
However, Ye Zhen was not very familiar with the True Body of the Sea-Breaking Great Saint; it was a bizarre-looking black octopus with over a hundred tentacles, looking particularly terrifying.
The True Body of the Sea-Breaking Great Saint trembled for a while, and Ye Zhen didn’t notice any obvious change. It wasn’t until the Great Saint of Jinghai, who had just returned to human form, pointed it out that Ye Zhen realized the change in the Sea-Breaking Great Saint.
A new black tentacle, seemingly quite tender, had grown out.
Half a quarter-hour later, Liao Feibai was still engrossed in the rapid comprehension of the Heavenly Dao brought about by the Spirit Void Fruit, while the three brothers Jinghai, Fug Hai, and Sea-Breaking were looking at each other and then at the pile of Spirit Void Fruits, all wearing incredibly peculiar expressions.
“Big Brother, what’s going on?” Ye Zhen asked in confusion.
The three brothers exchanged glances again, and finally, it was the Great Saint of Jinghai who spoke. “Fourth Brother, the gift you’ve brought is too valuable. A thousand Spirit Void Pellets each, and at Chaotic Sky Island’s auction, a single event could fetch a sky-high price of 6.5 million High-Grade Spiritual Stones—something we could never come by in a lifetime.
Yet, we can’t refuse this gift either!”
The Great Saint of Jinghai was not wrong; no member of the Demon Race could refuse a Spirit Void Fruit that could allow them to be reborn.
“Big Brother, aren’t we brothers? Besides, I have many things to ask for your help with in the future. You know, my territory in North Sea County…”
“But if we take this gift just like that, we couldn’t live with ourselves!” With that, the three saintly brothers of Jinghai suddenly raised Divine Soul Waves among themselves, likely communicating through their Divine Soul.
The next moment, the Great Saint of Jinghai, the Great Saint of Fug Hai, and the Great Saint of Sea-Breaking simultaneously invoked their Innate Primordial Divine Soul. A wisp resembling their Innate Primordial Divine Soul slowly flew out from their Spirit Palace. Then, the three solemnly expelled a drop of light golden Origin Essence Blood.
With incomparably mysterious hand seals, the synchronized vibration of spiritual power and Divine Soul Power was heard. “I, Jinghai (Fug Hai, Sea-Breaking), swear by Origin today that henceforth, at the command of Fourth Brother Ye Zhen, even if it means ascending the Knife Mountain or descending the Sea of Flames, no one can refuse! If this vow is broken, may the wrath of gods and heaven’s punishment befall us!”
As the three of them spoke each word, the sound stirred by Spiritual Power and Divine Soul Power would merge into that cluster of pale golden Origin Essence Blood. When the sound ended, that cluster of pale golden Origin Essence Blood suddenly, as if it were mist, merged into the Innate Primordial Divine Soul drawn out by the three of them.
In the Origin Divine Soul of the three, there suddenly appeared some extraordinarily mysterious pale golden lines, resembling veins, yet seemingly constraints…
Seeing this scene, Ye Zhen was speechless, not uttering a word for a long time.
He hadn’t expected that the three Great Saints of Jinghai would repay him with such a severe Essence Blood Soul Oath.
Even though the binding power of this Essence Blood Soul Oath was not too strong, the attitude of the three was more than clear.
From now on, with just a word from Ye Zhen, they would unhesitatingly give their lives for him.
This was an oath, and more so, a promise!
While Ye Zhen stood agape, the three Great Saints of Jinghai, Overturning Sea, and Sea-Breaking happily hurled themselves at Ye Zhen, evenly splitting the Spirit Void Fruits stacked in front of him, each taking away nine hundred and ninety-nine with not a hint of guilt.
Like Sea-Breaking Great Saint, this rogue, looking at the Spirit Void Fruits in his arms, grinned at Ye Zhen, “Fourth Brother, if you have any more treasures, be sure to pass them over to me!
Rest assured, I have just made that Divine Soul Oath, so I won’t have any psychological burden!”
“Uh…Fourth Brother, these Spirit Void Fruits, if you have more, please give me some. I feel that if I want to become a Five-clawed True Dragon, I might need a large quantity!” said the Overturning Sea Great Saint.
“Me too!” Jinghai Great Saint shamelessly opened his mouth, “The more the better with these things, if there were ten thousand that would be even better!”
Ye Zhen was bewildered.
Something was off!
How could these guys suddenly become thicker-skinned, one after the other?
And they had only just made a single Essence Blood Soul Oath.
Reflected on this, Ye Zhen could only give a bitter smile.
Before this, even if they hadn’t made a Divine Soul Oath, probably with a word from Ye Zhen, those Great Saints might have risked their lives for him anyhow?
In an instant, Ye Zhen understood the meaning behind their Divine Soul Oath.
Of course, it wasn’t Jinghai Great Saint tricking anyone, rather Jinghai, as the elder brother, always emphasized on ‘even clear accounts among brothers’.
Now, having taken Ye Zhen’s benefits, they lacked the ability to calculate clearly.
They had no choice but to take an alternative path, making this kind of Essence Blood Soul Oath to ease their own conscience.
“As for Spirit Void Fruits, there will be more in the future!” Ye Zhen chuckled. Truthfully, he didn’t want to give them too many at once, as this stuff came from a deadly source, best to parcel it out over time.
“However, I’ve prepared this for you all!” with that, Ye Zhen spilled a large pile of treasures.
The next moment, Jinghai Great Saint exclaimed firstly, “Dark Palace Realm Blue Whale King’s Demon Core? Also one that retains countless Dao Patterns? So many whale-type Demon Race Cores? With so many of our kin’s Demon Cores, my Cultivation…
Within two years, I could reach the Divine Communication Realm, no, with the boost from Spirit Void Fruit, it could be within a year, maybe even less!”
“Big Brother, ten months, with such an immense number of high-level Demon Cores, I only need ten months for my Cultivation to reach the Peak of Ninth-Stageed Dao Entrance!” Sea-Breaking Great Saint said in delight.
“A hundred Dragon Pills?”
“Fourth Brother, you even managed to get Dragon Pills? Did you really slay a hundred Dragon Clan?” Second Brother Overturning Sea Great Saint looked at the Dragon Pills before him, shivered intensely!
Ye Zhen squinted with a smile, “Though I didn’t slay a hundred dragons, the consequences were far more severe than slaying a hundred Dragon Clan!”
Ye Zhen’s previous deal with the Blue-scaled Dragon King regarding the Dragon Prince Ao Zheng was actually for the benefit of Jinghai Great Saint and his senior sister Liao Feibai.
With these Demon Cores, Jinghai Great Saint and the others’ cultivation would catapult skyward.
“What’s there to fear, brothers united, together we sever gold!” crunching down on a Demon Core, Jinghai Great Saint nonchalantly and spiritedly said, “Once our cultivation advances, not to mention a hundred dragons, even a thousand or ten thousand could be slaughtered!”
Having made the Divine Soul Oath just now, taking Ye Zhen’s treasures left Jinghai Great Saint and others without the slightest of burdens.
Ye Zhen, however, stood up, leisurely leading the recently awakened and bewildered Senior Sister Liao Feibai out, “Big Brother, train well and savor this, don’t disturb our private time without reason!”
“Who’s having private time with you!” Liao Feibai’s face flushed crimson!
