Chapter 1026: Heaven-defying Bloodline Talents (1/2)

This was the seventh time Nie Tian’s bloodline talent had upgraded.

The first time, Life Transfer had been awakened. The second time, Life Stealth had been awakened. The third time, Life Drain. The fourth time, Blood Essence Extraction. The fifth time, Life Blend.

The sixth time, two bloodline talents had been awakened: Life Strengthening and Blood Essence Seething.

This was the seventh time.

The more bloodline upgrades he had achieved, the longer it had taken him to achieve new bloodline upgrades and awaken new bloodline talents.

Ten years had passed since he had last accumulated enough flesh power.

Every time the green aura in his heart absorbed enough flesh power, it would fall dormant to digest the flesh power and brew wonders.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

One brand new Bloodline Crystal Chain after another appeared within the green aura in his heart.

Each and every one of them carried the profound truths of life.

“Hmm?!”

As more and more Bloodline Crystal Chains appeared, Nie Tian’s expression suddenly flickered. To his surprise, he found his seventh bloodline upgrade even more violent than his sixth.

With his sixth bloodline upgrade, two bloodline talents had been awakened: Life Strengthening and Blood Essence Seething.

However, the changes caused by his seventh bloodline upgrade seemed to be even greater.

Even though more Bloodline Crystal Chains still had yet to appear, Nie Tian had a peculiar feeling that they carried three different bloodline talents!

“Ten years of waiting and all the effort I spent accumulating flesh power has finally paid off!”

The flesh power fluctuations Nie Tian was now emanating were as intense as a sea in a storm. Even Pei Qiqi gasped with astonishment upon sensing them. “Nie Tian, are you...?”

Huang Jinnan, who had retreated to a farther location, didn’t sense anything. After all, he wasn’t a hybrid, and wasn’t as sensitive to flesh power fluctuations.

“My bloodline has just upgraded,” Nie Tian said, beaming with anticipation.

Taken by surprise, Pei Qiqi went blank for a few seconds before snapping out of her daze. “Congratulations!”

Then, she took the initiative to walk away from Nie Tian, worrying that her special spatial power fluctuations would affect Nie Tian’s upgrade.

Soon, three brand new bloodline talents were branded in Nie Tian’s soul and body like ineffaceable imprints. “Potential Stimulation! Blood Essence Transcendence! Life Bestowal!”

Nie Tian grasped the essence of his three newly acquired bloodline talents in a flash.

Potential Stimulation was a way to use his Blood Essence to stimulate his body. Not only would it greatly enhance the intensity of his body, but it would also improve the effects of his previously-awakened bloodline talents to great extents.

That meant, once he activated Potential Stimulation, the efficiency of his Life Transfer, Life Drain, and Blood Essence Extraction would all improve significantly.

Furthermore, he would be able to achieve Life Blend, Life Strengthening, and Life Stealth within a shorter time.

Even the effect of Blood Essence Seething would be fiercer.

Besides all that, Potential Stimulation had another amazing use.

He would be able to use it on others to stimulate their potential to the fullest!

However, it would only work on outsiders, hybrids, or body-refiners like Yin Yanan, who had vigorous flesh auras running inside of them.

After all, Potential Stimulation only stimulated and enhanced flesh power, not spiritual power.

The second new bloodline talent was Blood Essence Transcendence.

As its name implied, Blood Essence Transcendence would allow him to condense Blood Essence that was more refined, and carried new a brand new wonder: the ability to extend his lifespan.

Aside from that, the capacity of his Blood Essence reserve was also increased.

Before he could only refine a total of ten drops of Blood Essence. After that, no matter how much flesh power he absorbed, he wouldn’t be able to condense another drop of Blood Essence.

However, now that he had awakened Blood Essence Transcendence, not only would his Blood Essence become more powerful and wondrous, but he would also be able to condense fifty drops at a time.

That was five times the original amount.

The third new bloodline talent was Life Bestowal, which would couple perfectly with Life Transfer and allow him to infuse his transcended Blood Essence into the heart of any living being.

If he used Life Bestowal on outsiders, he would be able to vest them with vigorous life force and enhance the power of their bodies.

If he used it on humans, he would be able to achieve something even more shocking.

It would allow him to extend their lifespans!

By performing Life Transfer and Life Bestowal simultaneously, and infusing a drop of his Blood Essence into another human being, he would be able to give him or her ten years of additional lifespan!

One drop of Blood Essence equaled ten years of additional lifespan! Such a wondrous effect was even better than that of the mysterious berries he had obtained in the Bloody Grave Mountain Range.

Now that his bloodline had advanced to the seventh grade, he could have a Blood Essence reserve of fifty drops.

If he were to infuse all fifty drops into another human being’s heart, he would be able to prolong his or her lifespan by a total of five centuries!

Back in the day, he had obtained two Fruits of Life in the Realm of Unbounded Desolation, which he had given to Wu Ji and Hua Mu. However, they had only prolonged their lifespans by a hundred years.

If his bloodline had advanced to the seventh grade back then, he would have been able to prolong their lifespans with no external help, and to better effect.

Humanity’s greatest inherent weakness was their feeble bodies and short lifespans.

The only reason why they were still able to contend against the other higher races was because they could make up for their shortcomings by developing their spiritual seas and practicing all sorts of power.

The only way they could extend their lifespans was to make rapid breakthroughs in cultivation.

However, that was too difficult a task for many human Qi warriors. Numerous respected figures like Wu Ji and Hua Mu had faced situations where they were in desperate need of extra years.

It wasn’t just them; even many Void, Saint, and God domain patriarchs had to face the same lifespan problem sometimes.

Therefore, in most Qi warriors’ eyes, things that could prolong their lifespans were far more valuable than treasures like soul crystals.

Fruits of Life existed only in legends. Only in farfetched legends did people manage to find them and prolong their lifespans with them.
