The Guardian of Blood standing far behind Noah at this time was an extension of this world, an Automaton Creation that moved according to a predetermined set of rules. It was a unique creature that allowed the Ancient Blood World to bypass the many Universal Laws laid down upon the planets, so when the light that Noah released intensified and the core of the ancient world began to realize the meaning of what this new Progenitor wanted to do, the process finished even faster as they connection was established in a much smoother fashion!
RUMBLE!
The overflowing and dense essence of the Prime World that was in no way inferior to the World of Cultivation or the Underworld began to permeate through the established connection between multiple worlds as its overbearing energy rushed down to the 4 worlds that were a level or two lower.
Noah's Homeworld that had recently undergone a change from a Small World into a Middle World began experiencing changes once again as enormous essence rushed into in the form of feedback loops between the many High Tiered Worlds it was connected to, receiving an enormous amount of essence as its atmosphere began to change yet again!
Upgrades continued to occur left and right as in a short time span, yet another World had been attached to a connection that even those involved did not fully grasp yet.
---
Noah listened to the many thoughts of the Planetary Cores of multiple worlds as he understood the addition of this Prime World was something major. The benefits to the other Worlds would be immense, while his own benefits for coming into this Ancient Blood World's Inheritance Grounds were far from over.
He had just looked at a few of the boosts given by this new bloodline that always made him feel like he was at the top of the world, but he still had the spectacular skills in the form of memories that the System had classified into categories to look into.
He moved away from the Planetary Core of the Ancient Blood World that had begun communicating with the many entities it was now connected to as he returned to the Inheritance Grounds, his gaze peering in his panel over the first set of skills that came with the Vampyre Progenitor Bloodline, and it was an Absolute Skill to observe first!
<
[Unique Origin] :: Your extreme proficiency in blood has developed into a higher stage, allowing you to mimic the origin, shape, and aura of any being you have previously come across completely. Unless someone more proficient in blood comes across you, your origin will always be what you portray.
[World Veil] :: A great undertaking that is at the level of affecting an entire star. A veil is cast around a world that prevents the detection from any and all beings. Strict requirements must be met before a veil can be cast on any world.
[Blood Sea] :: Your body is able to turn into an expansive sea of blood, granting you a unique form that allows you to only ever take half of all physical damage while in this form.
[A Drop of Blood] :: From a drop of blood, you can begin anew. A part of your origin can be left behind as a drop of blood, allowing you to never truly die as a part of you can be safely hidden away. If used, the ability will require a period of 81 days before a new blood drop can be created.
…!
Noah had to come to a stop as he was reading the descriptions of the abilities of the Absolute Skill!
When he looked over [Unique Origin], he was happily surprised as it exactly fit what he wanted to obtain from the trip to the Underworld. His one worry when he would enter into the domain of the Celestials was whether the skills he held would be able to bypass their mysterious means if they took a deep look at him.
He didn't know exactly what the abilities of the truly powerful Celestial Grandmasters were, but he expected there to be a thorough examination for any of those joining the ranks of Celestials.
This ability made it so that all of his worries were now wiped away, but the stupendous surprises of this trip did not stop there. The [World Veil] and [Blood Sea] were great enough as he continued to read on, but the ability that allowed him to leave a part of his origin behind in a drop of blood was shocking!
The ability brought him a tremendous sense of assurance, but also a reminder that he never wanted to put himself in a position that would force him into having to use the stupendous effects of this ability.
He gazed at the remaining three abilities he had yet to observe as he saw the effects of [Telepathy] allowed him to send and receive thoughts to those he was thinking of over any distance, [Vampyrism] bringing with it the ability to turn others into Vampyres, or even choose a lesser evolution and make them into brute Vampyric Beasts!
Lastly, [Panacea] was an ability that allowed him to release his blood as a supreme medicine, allowing even those on the brink of death to regain their full health and vigor. He could effectively become a machine that pumped out health potions if he wished!
These...were just the Absolute Skills that the System had taken and classified from the many memories Noah received after the Vampyre Progenitor Bloodline had fused with him. He had not even gone through the other abilities that were laid out in the form of a Skill Tree, making them abilities that he could upgrade and strengthen into an unknown stage far into the future!
It felt like he was receiving an overwhelming amount of skills and abilities all at once as his eyes moved on to the Skill Tree that was at Void Rank, with multiple abilities shining below it as it read- [Blood Lord].
Chapter 316 - [Blood Lord], Harvesting Gains!
Noah felt like he was being given gifts on top of gifts as he looked at the skills and abilities that came with obtaining the inheritance of the Vampyre Progenitor.
He wanted to finish by looking at the skills that were placed in the form of a skill tree by the System before he began to move out, as there were simply too many things he had to do, as well as wanting to obtain even more information from the Vampyre King back in the Underworld.
His gaze landed on the spectacularly shining set of words on the blue stat panel that began with [Blood Lord]!
[Blood Lord] (0/30):: A technique that only those with the purest forms of blood can use. It is Ancient Blood Magic that includes the abilities Dawn of the Blood Lord(0/5), Blood World(0/5), Drain Life(0/5), and Nightmarish Descent(0/5).
[Dawn of the Blood Lord](Active) :: A descent of a terrible red moon accompanies the Blood Lord, empowering them and their allies as long as they stand under its maddening crimson light. +50% to All Damage, +50% to All Element Resistance, +50% Attack, Casting, and Movement Speed, +50% Increased Area of Effect, +50% to Defense, -50% to All Enemy Elemental Resistance, and the Fear Effect is applied to all enemies.
[Blood World](Active) :: An isolated space that prevents peering gazes erupts around you, the actions taking place in this space are between you and the beings remaining in it.
[Drain Life](Passive):: Blood is closely connected to a being's life force. A proficient manipulator of blood is able to layer all of their attacks with an attribute that will drain the life force of their enemies. +5% Lifesteal at all times.
[Nightmarish Descent](Active) :: Creatures of unholy origins are summoned at your call, latching onto your enemies as they activate blood magic and encase them in deadly coffins that skewer any poor souls contained inside.
Yet another set of powerful skills showed themselves to him as he felt like a collector who just continued to eat up way too many abilities. The Blood World was a skill he had already seen before from the hands of Prince Cassius, while the skills [Dawn of the Blood Lord], [Drain Life], and [Nightmarish Descent] were completely new to him with their wondrous abilities.
He would have to make time to test them later, as he was currently impatient to get started with the next set of steps after obtaining the huge boon that was the Ancient Blood World, and also go back to the Underworld
for more information. The memories he had obtained from the Vampyre Progenitor Bloodline were about the strengths and techniques it pertained, there was still much mystery surrounding this figure that had passed away and what exactly occurred more than a thousand years ago to cause the death of a being that held a Bloodline such as this, which even held abilities similar to that of having a rebirth.
Noah looked at the subservient Guardian of Blood as he asked just to be sure before he began moving.
"The memories that the first Progenitor gave you only pertained to the Inheritance Grounds and the Ancient Blood World?"
"Much of them yes, Master. Though I was given basic knowledge of the regions of the Universe and the beings that dwell in them."
Noah nodded as he waved his now pale hands in front of him, initiating one of his new skills, [World Portal], as he replied to the Guardian of Blood.
"The enemy that caused his death?"
"No knowledge on that either, Master. The only warning that the first Progenitor left behind was...to be wary of the terrifying rising force calling themselves Celestials."
The rising force calling themselves Celestials? Noah thought about these words that would have been said more than a thousand years ago as he pondered.
'They're not just a rising force anymore, are they?'
The skill he was casting completed as he was lost in his thoughts, an extravagantly wide red portal appearing in the Inheritance Grounds of the Ancient Blood World. As for the other location this portal connected to? It was Noah's homeworld!
Through the ability given from his new Bloodline, [World Portal], he could do what the Planetary Systems had been doing every time a connection was established with other worlds- he could choose to establish a permanent gateway that required immense mana to initiate, and they would continue to be kept active by the essence they absorbed in the atmosphere!
'The boosts and skills are so ridiculous that I'll have to spend quite some time just to understand how to best use them all.'
Noah continued to ponder as he moved through the wide red portal, the Guardian of Blood following close behind as this Soul Forging Realm individual entered a blue planet.
The constantly improving metropolis of the Blessed Empire appeared in front of their eyes as not too far away, Noah already felt the presence of Steel Mikhail, and the person he had sent a message to the moment the connection with the Ancient Blood World was finished.
The stunning girl with a head full of white hair and blue eyes smiled at Noah as the convoy of humans she brought with her had excited faces.
They only knew of the being in front of them from whispers and stories, never imagining they would meet the Number 1 Hunter from their world that had made so many things possible.
Steel Mikhail nodded at Noah, his gaze looking at him up and down as he wondered whether he was looking at the same person, while the white-haired Sophia smiled cutely and spoke, her gaze landing on the Guardian of Blood behind him as a white light briefly passed through her eyes.
"It hasn't even been all that long, Big Brother, and you're already gifting us with another World."
Noah nodded with a smile at this unique being that was connected to the Planetary System in a different way than he was, being extremely similar to the Guardian of Blood as they almost felt like an extension of the World's wills!
The group that came with Sophia and Steel Mikhail were some of the most powerful Hunters remaining in this world who continued to strengthen their power through dungeon diving.
They had come here today and with such a fast response simply because they were called by the upper echelons of their world, with the word they would be meeting the special being they knew as the highest-ranked Hunter, Noah!
A meeting with this being always proceeded with huge boosts of strength for all those involved as they were excited to find out exactly what stupendous gifts they would be receiving today. The words mentioned by the Guide thereafter only made them more excited as they looked towards this figure who was most definitely more handsome than what they were told.
Noah had gathered these powerful Hunters here, along with many more that were on their way to this location for the singular purpose of harvesting the great gains that were sprawled out all over the Ancient Blood World.
In that wide Prime World, numerous Blood Crystals that literally covered the lands were just waiting to be harvested, as well as the numerous Vampyric Beasts waiting to be taken down. Although, much of these resources could only be fully utilized by Vampyres, so Noah's gaze turned to these excited humans as he prepared to test a few of his abilities as the Vampyre Progenitor!
Chapter 317 - New Vampyres, A Messenger from the Dark Expanse
"Although it is going to be somewhat painful, I will give you guys a boost in power before you descend into a world with numerous resources just waiting to be harvested."
Noah looked at the force of hundreds of humans gathered in front of him as he spoke.
"Are you all ready?"
The replies he received were that of excited yells and enthusiasm as the Hunters could not wait to get started. He nodded as he cast [Vampyrism] on these humans who did not fully understand exactly what they had just enthusiastically agreed to!
From Noah's fair right hand, numerous red lines erupted as they went on to pierce onto the bodies of the Hunters instantly, their faces rapidly changing as they buckled down to the ground and began convulsing.
Noah and Sophia were looking at this sight with interested eyes as Noah wanted to fully observe the effects of a Vampyre Progenitor turning beings into Vampyres, while Sophia was simply another entity entirely and was not even thinking along the same lines. Only the gruff Steel Mikhail was standing by the side with his usual unreadable expression as he watched the evolving situation.
If one were to watch from the side, they would observe Noah's expression to be impassive as he observed the Hunters wriggling in pain on the ground, only a calculating look overtaking his face as he observed the continuing changes. Unknowingly, another effect of the Vampyre Progenitor Bloodline went to alter his mentality, although the changes were too little for one to notice at this time!
RUMBLE!
A red light permeated throughout the surroundings as the hunters underwent unbearable pain, but nothing like what Noah had gone through as he found their bodies were only going through changes that granted them the bloodline of Elite Vampyres.
This meant that anyone he chose to use [Vampyrism] on would skip the ranks of Normal Vampyres and become an Elite Vampyre right away!
He nodded his head after confirming this test, his aura already locked on the beings from the Beast World and Demon World that had also neared the location where he opened the portal connecting to the Ancient Blood World.
The Hunters in front of Noah began getting up after a few minutes, some still terrified of the pain they went through as they moved their bodies and began to feel the abundant strength overflowing within. Most had directly broken through ranks the moment their change finished, finding a sense of power they never thought to be possible permeating through their body. They looked towards the Strongest Hunter with a feeling of apprehension and familiarity as they felt like he had become someone they could never even think to go against, the aura that Noah released currently putting him at an unreachable position in their eyes!
What followed thereafter was something ridiculous as Noah used an abundant amount of mana and cast [Vampyrism] multiple times on the beings from the Beast and Demon World who had managed to get here in time, before the many newly turned Vampyres were introduced to the Ancient Blood World.
When it came to those in higher positions of power like Steel Mikhail, Noah added another ability on top of it as he also used [Bloodline Bestowal], another ability directly from the Bloodline of the Vampyre Progenitor, to bestow the bloodline of a Pureblood Vampyre.
From the Ancient Shrine where he found numerous storage rings and pouches, an abundant amount of refined Bl
ood Crystals and numerous Bloodlines that the Guardian of Blood had been left with to continue conducting the trials of the Inheritance Grounds were all in his possession.
He was now the Vampyre Progenitor, making there be no need for an Inheritance Ground as he could personally turn beings into Vampyres and bestow Bloodlines as he wished!
The process took slightly more time for anything higher than the Elite Tier, but a brand new Steel Mikhail became the first Harbinger to obtain the Bloodline of a Pureblood Vampyre as his large figure became even more refined and he gained a devilish handsomeness!
Noah continued to play around with the newly found abilities of the Vampyre Progenitor as he initiated the process of using the abundant resources on the Ancient Blood World. In the coming days, more and more forces from the Beast World and Demon World would join in, along with the newly included beings of the Icebound World that had not even fully begun communicating with the other four worlds. The Guardian of Blood would act in Noah's place for the newcomers as many of the treasures and bloodlines left behind in the Inheritance Grounds would be freely used up in the coming months.
There were many moving parts and numerous figures involved in this process that would take quite some time, but while Noah was supposed to be undergoing a trial to prove himself to the Vampyres of the Underworld, he entered the Inheritance Grounds and took for himself the ultimate inheritance left behind by the Vampyre Progenitor. He then began using the expansive abilities of this fearsome bloodline as he covertly began to create a force of new Vampyres in a distant world, moving with extreme efficiency as he already began the process of using the resources of an entire world that he had gained while he was simply supposed to be undergoing a trial!
It would be out of the wildest dreams for the Vampyres of the Underworld to imagine, as they were about to have their hands full from the return of shocking commands. The Vampyre King had sent word to their forces in the Dark Expanse the moment that Noah entered the portal that led to the Ancient Blood World, letting them know of the recent events and asking for guidance on how to move forward.
