Chapter 4589
Although he had lost count of his attempts, he repeatedly climbed to his feet. All he could
grasp was that the seal within him was wreaking havoc inside his body. This left him
covered in wounds, both internal and external. Every part of his body was damaged by the
ordeal.
"Must I truly reach the same rank as the Ancestral Blood Master to break this seal?" After
countless attempts, James began to consider giving up.
'Til try one last time," James exhaled deeply. At that precise moment, he stepped into the
realm of the Omniscience Path. In this heightened state, his Spiritual Power surged, and
his veins pulsed with a newfound serenity and unbridled power. Without a moment's
hesitation, he activated the Blood Mantra.
"Break!" James roared ferociously.
He infused his entire body with strength and fueled it with his blood vein established by
the Blood Matra. He transformed the energy into a multitude of sharp blades. These
blades of energy coursed through his veins, relentlessly striking at the deepest core of the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtseal within him.
"Crack!" As the countless ethereal blades of blood energy collided with the seal, a
resounding boom reverberated within his body. His physical body could scarcely withstand
the immense force, threatening to rend itself asunder.
Nonetheless, his lips curved into a bright smile. The seal had finally been shattered.
With the seal broken, a stream of blood energy manifested before him. It converged to
form the figure of a spectral man. This phantom figure hovered before James.
"Father-in-law?" As the figure came into view, James' trepidation outweighed his concern
about his injuries. He promptly withdrew, cautious of the potential threat posed by the
Ancestral Blood Master. He was afraid more harm was coming his way.
"You, lad, have exceeded my expectations," the phantom figure regarded James, looking
on approvingly. "Truly, I didn't expect you to break the seal I set up in such a short time."
Sensing the ethereal presence before him, James noticed a certain illusory afterimage and
finally let out a sigh of relief.
"I'd intended to kill you, but for now, I'll spare you. I hope you won't disappoint me or the
countless living beings in the Chaos," spoke the phantom figure.
With a frown, James inquired, "Does this phantom figure have a connection to your main
self?"
The phantom figure elaborated, "In theory, they're the same. However, since you’re
outside my territory, I have no idea where my phantom has manifested. It's merely a
projection of my soul."
Continuing, he explained, "Your presence in the outside territory is risky. My phantom will
accompany you for some
time. Throughout that duration, I can come to your aid should you face any danger."
This phantom manifested as a fragment of the Ancestral Blood Master's soul. When he
initially sealed James, he embedded a trace of his soul sigil inside James. When James
broke the seal, the soul sigil would activate. This measure was taken to thwart any
attempts by other living beings to rescue and unseal James. Right after, the phantom
would materialize to eliminate him.
After entering the outside territory, this phantom was aware of James’ circumstances.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJames had been through so much, which led him to trust James for the time being.
However, the knowledge that the phantom possessed was limited to what it perceived in
its current form. The Ancestral Blood Master’s original body could not sense whatever the
phantom was able to unless James returned to the Chaos with the Ancestral Blood
Master's phantom.
Upon hearing this, James’ eyes lit up, and he asked, "How strong is this phantom?"
"Well," mused the Ancestral Blood Master, "It should be strong enough to fight with the
Deputy Master of the Daemonium Sect."
This phantom existed within the sigil within James’ body, thus it was aware of James’
current goals.
"It's that powerful?" James exclaimed in astonishment. The Ancestral Blood Master was
undeniably formidable and the mere existence of a phantom capable of taking on the
Deputy Master of the Daemonium Sect was astounding.
The phantom figure nodded. "Indeed, it can hold its own in a battle. Nonetheless, this form
isn't my original body, so its energy is limited. As my energy wanes, so too will the
phantom's presence. This manifestation can probably fight for roughly a day."
