440: Zhang Lanbokji, the Vampire Prince

Li Wuji stood before the open door, rapidly digesting Lanbox's soul memories.

A moment later, he had completely understood the 'Blood Origin Contract', and at the same time, the coldness in his eyes deepened by three parts.

Because in Lanbox's soul memories, he learned more secrets, including the many drawbacks of this 'Blood Origin Contract', which the other party had not explained before.

"As expected, no one is a fool, but the Church and the National Assembly are quite surprising."

In the other party's memory, the National Assembly is mainly composed of powerful Magicians, with experts as numerous as clouds within it.

The Church, on the other hand, is mainly composed of knights, with the twelve Knights of the Round Table being the most famous experts.

Among them, Robert is also quite familiar to him; the other party had once made a move to compete for that saint medicine in the Nether Blood Sea.

These two major top forces are the main body of the Great Eagle Country; the National Assembly governs domestically, and the Church governs externally, establishing the basic structure of this great country.

"Several Magic Kings and Knight Kings, huh? I can learn a thing or two from them when the time comes."

Li Wuji withdrew his thoughts, reached out and directly clenched his hand towards all the corpses on the ground. The next moment, countless blood-colored mists quickly condensed, soon transforming into a round blood bead.

"Buzz~"

Following a buzz, the blood bead split into two, one large and one small. Li Wuji put the smaller blood bead into his storage ring and merged it with the 'Blood Origin Contract'.

Immediately, the 'Blood Origin Contract' actually began to tremble, followed by a sudden burst of light, emitting a mysterious aura.

Li Wuji merely smiled slightly at this. No one would have thought that the energy required for this 'Blood Origin Contract' was actually the essence blood of Vampires.

Moreover, it needs to be the essence blood of a Vampire with a stronger Bloodline or the full essence of an ordinary Vampire, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced.

No wonder the higher-ups of the Great Eagle Country would allow them to convert people from the outer city into Vampires, and even more so, no wonder outsiders from these Vampire families cannot master such methods.

Because Vampires are not converted casually; a Vampire must use a portion of their own Blood Origin essence blood to convert one.

Even if the Great Eagle Country mastered this method, they couldn't independently develop this secret formula. Instead of a lose-lose situation, it's better to profit from it.

Anyway, the people from the outer city are dispensable to them, so why not use them to provide benefits for themselves?

"It was clearly a weapon against oneself, yet it became a means to protect oneself. Is this also considered karmic cycle?"

Having said that, Li Wuji's figure flashed and suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving only that fist-sized blood bead suspended in the air, quietly waiting.

And below this magnificent manor, a mysterious Western-style coffin quietly floated above a pool of blood emitting a strong bloody smell.

The blood in the pool seemed to possess life, constantly churning and surging. Endless blood-colored mist continuously rose from the blood pool and rapidly surged into the coffin like a tide.

At the same time, a powerful and heart-palpitating aura was rapidly condensing, like the oppressive atmosphere before a storm, making people feel difficulty breathing.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, accompanied by a deafening roar, the entire space trembled.

The originally intact coffin instantly turned into countless tiny powders, scattering outwards like fireworks after an explosion.

Immediately after, in the next instant, a muscular figure burst out of the coffin like lightning.

This person's skin was a strangely pale color, as if carved from white jade; while his wine-red hair fell loosely over his broad shoulders, dancing in the wind, adding a touch of wildness and uninhibitedness.

"Hahahahaha..."

Lambokes let out a burst of extremely arrogant laughter that echoed through the sky, as if it would tear apart this piece of heaven and earth.

"I, Lambokes, have finally successfully broken through to the King Realm! From now on, I am the undisputed true King of the Vampire race! Who dares to contend with me?"

However, just as he was carried away by his success, his laughter abruptly stopped without any warning.

The smile on Lambokes's face instantly froze, replaced by an expression of disbelief.

He widened his eyes and looked up with a face full of astonishment, muttering to himself, "This... what exactly is going on? Why has the Bloodline aura in my body all disappeared?"

For the Vampire race, they can clearly perceive their own Bloodline aura and that of their kin.

And as the esteemed Prince of the Lanbo Ke Family, Lambokes has even more numerous descendants and offspring.

But at this moment, no matter how hard he tried to sense, he could no longer detect even the slightest trace of Bloodline aura belonging to other clan members.

This sudden change left him at a loss, completely bewildered.

Just as he was confused and preparing to go out to investigate, a voice filled with interest suddenly sounded beside him.

"Perhaps I can tell you the reason."

Lambokes suddenly looked down and saw that above the nearly dried-up blood pool, a person wearing a smiling face mask had appeared at some unknown point.

And he had been completely unaware from beginning to end. Even more bizarrely, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and the other party hadn't spoken, he wouldn't have felt the other party at all.

"Who are you?!"

This was naturally Li Wuji. The reason he had said so much to Lanbox earlier was just to wait for the other party to break through.

After all, he was a King Realm Expert, and he naturally wouldn't let him go.

"Just an ordinary person, but I just happened to wipe out your clan members."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lambokes's eyes instantly split with rage, and the surrounding space immediately distorted.

Waves of blood-colored ripples spread out from around his body, covering this entire underground space in the blink of an eye.

"This Prince will make you wish you were dead but unable to die!"

The next moment, Lambokes transformed into his Vampire true form, then urgently turned into countless blood shadows and charged towards Li Wuji.

Although he was incredibly angry at this moment, reason told him that Li Wuji was definitely not simple, and he naturally couldn't hold back in the slightest.

Facing Lambokes's violent offensive, Li Wuji remained calm and composed.

He gently raised his hand, and the surrounding space seemed to freeze. The blood-colored ripples and countless blood shadows suddenly stopped a few feet away from him, as if bound by an invisible force.

"The power of the King Realm is indeed not bad."

Li Wuji smiled faintly, his tone carrying a hint of appreciation, but more of indifference and disdain.

Lambokes was greatly alarmed. He had never encountered such a powerful opponent. Even a King Realm Expert of the same level could not suppress his offensive so easily.

He tried to break free from that invisible restraint, but found that his power was like a clay ox entering the sea, completely ineffective.

"You... who exactly are you?!"
