321: Chapter 321 Shadow Demon Assassination Technique

Tian Xin heard this, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She never thought the trace of dark Bloodline in her body would one day become the key to obtaining the Legacy.

Gao Feng looked at Tian Xin and said deeply, "Tian Xin, what do you think?"

Tian Xin was silent for a moment, then looked up with determination in her eyes and said, "I am willing to accept the Legacy."

The remnant Soul nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good. Then follow this old man."

It turned and floated toward the depths of the darkness. Tian Xin took a deep breath and followed.

"Tian Xin!" Yao Guang called out worriedly.

Tian Xin looked back, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. You guys wait for me here."

After saying that, she followed the remnant Soul and disappeared into the darkness.

Everyone watched her leave, their hearts full of worry. But they also knew this was Tian Xin's Opportunity, and they could not stop her.

Luo Li said softly, "Let's wait for her here."

Everyone nodded, sat cross-legged, and began to recover spiritual power. Gao Feng put away the war soul token, and the ten battle soul projections turned into streams of light, returning to the token.

The darkness was still thick, but with the remnant Soul gone, the surrounding Shadow Demon Clan battle Souls also gradually dispersed, leaving only a few wandering in the distance, no longer approaching.

Everyone waited quietly for Tian Xin's return.

Tian Xin followed the Shadow Demon Clan remnant Soul, walking step by step into the depths of the darkness.

The darkness became thicker and thicker, almost swallowing her whole. But she did not shrink back because she could feel that although the dark power was strong, it had no malice toward her; instead, there was a faint sense of familiarity.

She knew it was the trace of dark Bloodline in her body working.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a point of light finally appeared ahead. It was a cluster of dim light floating in the Void Realm, emitting a faint chill. Under the light was a pitch-black stone platform carved with mysterious runes that flowed slowly like living things.

"We've arrived." The remnant Soul stopped and turned to look at Tian Xin.

Tian Xin looked around and found it was a small stone chamber, the walls also carved with runes. Those runes echoed the ones on the stone platform, forming a complete Formation that enveloped the entire chamber.

"This is where I used to Cultivate back then," the remnant Soul said slowly. "This old man went into seclusion here for a hundred years and finally cultivated the Shadow Demon Assassination Technique to Major Achievement. Unfortunately, before I could use it, I fell in that great war."

A flash of melancholy passed through its eyes, but it soon returned to calm. It looked at Tian Xin and said, "Girl, what is your name?"

Tian Xin said respectfully, "Junior Tian Xin."

"Tian Xin..." The remnant Soul murmured, "A good name. Tian Xin, do you know where that trace of dark Bloodline in your body came from?"

Tian Xin was silent for a moment and said, "Junior knows. Junior's mother is of the Human Race, and my father is a defector from the Shadow Demon Clan."

Surprise flashed in the remnant Soul's eyes, then it nodded and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder you have a dark Bloodline; although thin, it is very pure. Your father's dark Bloodline must have been very strong."

It paused and continued, "The Shadow Demon Assassination Technique is a secret of my Shadow Demon Clan. This Cultivation Technique requires one with a dark talent to Cultivate. The higher the talent, the faster the cultivation speed and the stronger the power. Although your dark Bloodline is thin, it is enough. As long as you can wake it and let it thoroughly undergo Awakening, your talent will increase significantly."

Tian Xin heard this, a complex emotion rising in her heart. She never thought this Bloodline she had always hidden would one day become her chance to become stronger.

"Senior, what should I do?" she asked.

The remnant Soul waved its hand, and the runes on the stone platform suddenly shone brightly. The light enveloped Tian Xin, and a warm power poured into her body, flowing through her limbs and bones.

"Relax your mind, do not resist," the remnant Soul's voice sounded in her ear. "This old man will use the Shadow Demon Clan secret method to help you awaken the dark Bloodline in your body. This process might be somewhat painful, but you must endure it."

Tian Xin nodded, closed her eyes, and relaxed her mind.

That warm power traveled through her body, finally gathering in her Dantian. There, she sensed a faint black aura, which was her dark Bloodline.

The Bloodline was extremely thin; if not sensed carefully, it could hardly be detected. But it truly existed, dormant in her body, waiting to be awakened.

The warm power slowly wrapped around that Bloodline and began to gently stimulate it. At first, Tian Xin only felt her Dantian slightly heating up, with no discomfort. But soon, the heat became stronger and more intense, gradually turning into a burning pain!

Tian Xin clenched her teeth and endured it firmly. Fine beads of sweat broke out on her forehead, and her body began to tremble slightly, but she never made a sound.

The remnant Soul looked at her, a flash of admiration in its eyes. It knew the pain of Awakening the dark Bloodline was no less than being cut by a thousand knives. Being able to remain conscious and not scream during this process proved Tian Xin's firm will.

Time passed slowly in pain.

After an unknown amount of time, Tian Xin suddenly felt the black aura in her Dantian begin to stir. It was no longer dormant but began to actively absorb the warm power, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The black aura became thicker and more intense, gradually filling her entire Dantian! Then, it began to spread along her Meridians, flowing to her limbs and bones!

Every movement was accompanied by intense pain. Tian Xin's Meridians were forcibly widened by the dark power, her flesh was tempered by the dark power, and her bones were reshaped by the dark power! That pain was like ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, like a thousand cuts, making one almost faint!

But Tian Xin still gritted her teeth, persisting and enduring.

She could not fall. She had to become stronger, protect her teammates, and avenge her parents!

This belief supported her, allowing her to remain conscious throughout that extreme pain.

Finally, when the last wisp of dark power merged into her body, all the pain disappeared instantly.

Tian Xin gasped for air, her whole body drenched in sweat. But she could feel her body filled with power! It was a brand-new power, strong and pure, completely different from her previous spiritual power!

She opened her eyes, and in those eyes, a black light flickered faintly. It was the mark left by the dark power in her eyes and the proof of her Bloodline Awakening.

"Success," the remnant Soul's voice sounded, with a hint of relief. "Your dark Bloodline has fully awakened. Although it's still not considered powerful, it's more than ten times stronger than before."

Tian Xin stood up and bowed deeply to the remnant Soul, saying, "Thank you, Senior, for fulfilling this."

The remnant Soul waved its hand and said, "No need to thank me. You were able to endure the pain of Awakening the Bloodline because of your own will. This old man only did what needed to be done."

It waved its hand, and a black light shot out from its fingertip, sinking into the space between Tian Xin's eyebrows. The next moment, countless pieces of information poured into Tian Xin's Sea of Consciousness like a tide.

It was the complete Shadow Demon Assassination Technique!

From concealment to assassination, from Soul attacks to movement techniques, from entry level to Major Achievement, every level had detailed cultivation methods and precautions. Cultivating to Major Achievement allows one to become an Incarnation of darkness, coming and going without a trace, killing invisibly!

Tian Xin closed her eyes to comprehend, letting the information flow in her Sea of Consciousness. Around her, the dark power automatically circulated, enveloping her whole body, making her appear indistinct as if she would disappear into the darkness at any moment.

Time passed quietly in cultivation.

One day, two days, three days...

When the seventh day arrived, Tian Xin slowly opened her eyes. In those eyes, a deep light flickered, a sign that the dark power and her mind had perfectly achieved Fusion.

She raised her right hand, and with a thought, a pitch-black Talisman condensed in her palm. The Talisman was covered with mysterious runes, emitting a thick dark aura.

This was the first Talisman she had drawn with dark power—the Shadow Kill Talisman!

Once this Talisman is used, it can turn into a black shadow and instantly appear behind the enemy for an instant kill!

She waved her hand again, and another Talisman condensed. This Talisman was completely transparent; if one didn't look closely, its existence could hardly be detected. This was the Dark Concealment Talisman, which could allow her and her teammates to completely hide their presence, making it difficult for even a Golden Core Cultivator to detect!

Tian Xin looked at these two Talismans, her eyes full of excitement. She knew her Dao of Talismans had entered a completely new Realm.

She walked out of the stone chamber, and the remnant Soul was waiting quietly outside. Seeing her come out, the remnant Soul nodded and said, "In seven days, you have mastered the Shadow Demon Assassination Technique to this extent; your talent is even higher than this old man imagined."

Tian Xin bowed again and said, "Thank you, Senior, for the guidance."

The remnant Soul waved its hand and said, "Go. Your teammates have been waiting for you for a long time."

Tian Xin nodded and turned to leave. But after walking a few steps, she stopped, looked back at the remnant Soul, and said, "Senior, Junior has a request."

The remnant Soul said, "What is it?"

Tian Xin said, "Junior's parents were killed by the Shadow Demon Clan's Elder, Shadow Venerable. Junior wants to know where that Shadow Venerable is now?"

Hearing this, the remnant Soul's eyes showed a complex look. It was silent for a moment and said, "Shadow Venerable... this old man has heard of him. He is a representative of the radicals in the Shadow Demon Clan, advocating for an unending fight with the Human Race. When your father betrayed the Shadow Demon Clan, it was he who personally led the pursuit."

It paused and continued, "As for where he is now... this old man has been dead for too long and doesn't know of outside matters. But with his strength and character, he should still be in the Shadow Demon Clan's territory—the Shadow Realm."

A cold light flashed in Tian Xin's eyes, "Thank you, Senior, for informing me."

The remnant Soul looked at her and said, "You want revenge?"

Tian Xin nodded and said, "The debt of my parents' death is irreconcilable."
