150: Chapter 150 Refining the Bloodline Spirit

"I see, I'll look into it when I have time! But... I have a feeling not many people will believe this data." Mu Cheng didn't take it to heart and pocketed the remaining Five-Colored Stones.

The two of them continued forward following Dun Dun, passing through more dense tunnels. At this moment, only six hours remained before the Ancient Battlefield would open.

"If... the time is up, will we be sent away?" Mu Cheng suddenly asked slowly.

This was indeed quite possible, and since he knew there were nine levels in total, he naturally felt it would be a shame.

Yue Chan shook her head and replied, "It's hard to say... it's very likely we really will be teleported out."

"Alright! Then let's hurry." Mu Cheng didn't ask any further.

They would clear as many levels as they could.

About ten minutes later, led by Dun Dun, the two arrived at a Black Rocky Area.

This rocky area was very gloomy, quiet, and eerie.

"What is that thing ahead? Just standing here... I feel like I'm being swallowed up," Yue Chan said slowly as she looked ahead.

Directly ahead, atop a black stone pillar about 1.5 meters high, was a black energy ball the size of a basketball.

"Is this the Black Hole Energy Source? Could this be the ninth level?" Mu Cheng felt doubtful.

Although he didn't know exactly what a Black Hole Energy Source was, anything guarded by a remnant soul at the Great High Priest level was bound to be something good.

"This thing looks like an energy source... it seems to be an extremely high-level energy source!" Yue Chan said while studying the data on her high-tech bracelet.

Mu Cheng didn't feel like researching and asked, "Sister... how many levels are energy sources divided into?"

Yue Chan explained, "Breaking through to the Ninth Tier requires condensing a Star-level energy source. Above the Ninth Tier, the Realm King God has a Realm-level energy source."

"Gods of Destruction have Domain-level energy sources, Great High Priests have Black Hole Energy Sources, and as for the Omni-God... there are no records in the data. There is also a legend about the strongest ruler in the universe, the Creator God."

"A Black Hole Energy Source? This... could this really be the ninth level?" Mu Cheng found it hard to believe.

If that were the case, this Black Hole Energy Source is something only a god at the Great High Priest level would possess. Why would it appear here?

Without overthinking it, Mu Cheng gripped his black gold spear and slowly moved forward.

"Whatever, since I'm here, I might as well take it."

However, as soon as he approached, a massive phantom appeared—a demon at least ten meters tall.

It had a pair of bull horns on its head, a ferocious face, and was clad in black armor bound with dense black iron chains.

In its right hand, it dragged an enormous greatsword that looked somewhat like a Dragon Slaying Saber.

"This guy looks familiar... let me see." Yue Chan suddenly remembered something but couldn't be sure, so she immediately checked the data on her high-tech bracelet.

Soon, she stammered, "This guy is a genuine 9-star Great High Priest level Demon Butcher. Even if it's just a remnant soul, why would it appear here?"

Could such terrifying, heaven-defying power... appear on this tiny Blue-White Star? Was this even reasonable?

"This... Sister, are you really not joking? An expert standing at the pinnacle of the universe, fallen here?" Although Mu Cheng could be absolutely certain, his brain still struggled to process it.

Yue Chan: "Don't ask me. This data belongs to legends. Whether there are existences beyond the Ninth Tier is still uncertain."

This was originally data from the high-tech bracelet; while some of it was true, the power levels didn't seem to amount to much.

The appearance of a Demon Butcher this time, with power reaching the universe's ceiling as a 9-star Great High Priest—anyone would find it hard to believe.

"True... regardless, that black energy ball is definitely a good thing. Let's take it first!" Mu Cheng thought about it and decided it made sense.

Furthermore, with his current skyrocketing strength, even facing a remnant soul with the power of the universe's ceiling, he wasn't intimidated at all.

He intended to charge forward, but then something strange happened: the remnant soul of the Demon Butcher suddenly knelt down.

"I welcome the return of my Master!"

"Good grief... what on earth is going on?" Mu Cheng was stunned, having no idea what had happened.

Yue Chan was also dazed. "It's all fake, everything must be fake, right?"

She had thought the data in the high-tech bracelet was real, but now it seemed completely unreasonable and utterly absurd, making her doubt everything.

The peak combat power of the universe? Actually calling this human, who was only at the peak of the Seventh Tier, 'Master'? Wasn't this beyond ridiculous?

"You... forget it, tell me what's going on?" Mu Cheng decided to ask for clarification.

The Demon Butcher spoke slowly. "All the answers Master seeks are within the Black Hole Energy Source."

"That simple? What should I do?" Mu Cheng hesitated for a long time but finally made up his mind.

He walked toward the Black Hole Energy Source, and before he could even get close, the energy source suddenly flew directly into his body.

There was no abnormality, and nothing else happened...

"That's it?" Mu Cheng was dumbfounded, and only after a long while did he regain his senses.

Demon Butcher: "Master, I am willing to become your Bloodline Spirit. I hope Master will grant this."

"Bloodline Spirit... isn't that something only the Ninth Tier can condense?" Yue Chan suddenly blurted out.

The true divergence in power lay there; the Ninth Tier and the Eighth Tier were completely like heaven and earth.

"Are you sure this really works?" Mu Cheng was still quite puzzled.

In fact, he had researched the Ninth Tier long ago, and the span of the Ninth Tier was relatively massive.

Star-level energy sources, Bloodline Spirits... and so on, all of these undoubtedly required a vast amount of resources.

However, Bloodline Spirits were divided into innate and acquired. Innate ones already existed within the bloodline and just needed to be condensed.

Mu Cheng's current situation was an acquired fusion... having a Bloodline Spirit was equivalent to having an extra trump card.

"Why don't you try fusing with it? Besides, in your situation, you probably don't have an innate Bloodline Spirit, and even if you did, it might not be anything special," Yue Chan said.

From what she knew, Lu Yunzi was an example; she also didn't have a Bloodline Spirit, yet her strength was still terrifyingly powerful.

In any case, only by fighting would one know whose fist was harder.

As for the so-called levels, they were merely used to measure... Bloodline Power and Ability levels.

"Alright! I'll try." Mu Cheng didn't hesitate and released his Black Vine to begin devouring the Demon Butcher.

Yue Chan: "It actually works. I don't know if that data is just legend or true, but either way, it looks like he'll need some time to refine it."

This was the only way; given Mu Cheng's current strength, being able to fuse with a Bloodline Spirit was already good enough.

Moreover, it wasn't hard to see that the level of this Demon Butcher's remnant soul was extremely high...
