Yuan's Ascension

Chapter 190: Heavenly Endowed Eldritch Tattoos, A Surge of Power (4)

In a desolate desert, ripples appeared in the air several zhangs above the ground.

Boom! A figure donning a purple robe materialized out of thin air and tumbled to the ground, steadying herself upon landing. Then, she forcefully expelled a mouthful of fresh blood.

I feel much better after letting that out, I nearly died right there! Grandmaster Bu Yu's complexion paled, holding onto a trace of lingering fear.

Thankfully, the mysterious power that governs the entirety of the Chu-Jiang Immortal Realm does not push us into a corner. We are allowed to surrender.

She had explored numerous immortal relics and knew that certain selection tests within these relics were exceedingly brutal, offering no chance of survival.

My injuries are not light. But after passing a few stages, I obtained a Purplewood Spirit Fruit, two Redwood Spirit Fruits, and acquired an immortal art. This journey wasnt in vain! A smile graced Grandmaster Bu Yus pallid countenance.

This journey had been bountiful, and Grandmaster Bu Yu found herself quite content with the results.

As she surveyed her surroundings, a question arose in her mind. Where have I been transported to? Clearly, this relic is designed to select exceptional talents. Wu Yuan, with his remarkable abilities, might have reaped great rewards here.

It's possible he has yet to emerge. But what Ive gained is already satisfactory. There is no need to be greedy. I must exercise prudence and find a secluded spot to consume a Redwood Spirit Fruit. And then, I shall conceal myself once more to recuperate and heal my injuries.

I must tread carefully. Should I encounter Jin Qing and lose my life and treasures, the cost would far outweigh any potential gains. Grandmaster Bu Yu reminded herself.

She chose a direction at random and swiftly departed from the area.

Meanwhile, on a desolate desert, approximately 100 li away from the bronze temple, over a dozen demonic beasts lay motionless, an armored shadow looming above them.

Exerting considerable strength, the black-armored figure reached down and pulled out a divine sword from one of the corpses. The armor partially retracted, revealing the head of Jin Qing.

My luck seems to be holding. Ive stumbled upon a Redwood Spirit Fruit rather swiftly," Jin Qing muttered to himself. "Together with what I acquired in the temple, it is quite a substantial harvest."

"However," he continued, a tinge of disappointment in his voice, "I still could not pass the sixth level."

He had exerted immense effort, even risking his life on the last two levels. Regrettably, he had failed.

The gains arent small. Ive even managed to obtain a qi refining arcane art. When I unlock my qi sea, it'll give me a significant boost in strength. Jin Qings brows furrowed. But will Shadow Blade pass the sixth challenge of the Eldritch Chamber?

He had crossed paths with Shadow Blade before and was pretty sure that the youth had already reached the Harmony of Man and Nature stage. What's more, he knew that Shadow Blade was not that old!

His comprehension aptitude is definitely higher than mine. His chances of passing the sixth challenge are much higher as well. Jin Qing's eyes turned icy. I can only hope that he hasn't successfully made contact with the eldritch inheritance.

If Shadow Blade succeeded, it was destined to spell trouble!

Let's go find some other spirit fruits. If Im lucky, I might stumble upon Bu Yu. Jin Qing's gaze swept across the plain. Killing her would eliminate a major obstacle in Great Jins unification of the Jiang Continent!

As time passed, one by one, the Grandmaster experts either gave up voluntarily or failed the selection test. Storing the rewards they received, they left the Eldritch Chamber one after another.

Deep within the Eldritch Chamber, in a grand hall, two whole days had passed. The giant in black armor kept an eye on Wu Yuan the entire time. He had been waiting for nearly a hundred thousand years, so he didnt lose his patience over another two days of waiting. On the contrary, the longer Wu Yuan took, the more elated he grew.

Hum~ Finally, the massive painting of Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu returned to normal, while the earthy yellow lights swirling around Wu Yuan gradually dissipated. The ethereal arms on his back and colossal serpents on his chest swiftly faded away. However, the illusory coiled form of a serpent lingered on Wu Yuan's forehead and chest, gradually melding into his flesh. With that, Wu Yuans body seemed to sink into peaceful tranquility.

After a long while, Wu Yuan let out a long breath and opened his eyes slowly. He felt that he had been in a bizarre state over the last two days, only regaining consciousness now.

Hm? As he opened his eyes, he noticed that his vision and hearing had undergone a remarkable enhancement. He could even see the tiniest speck of dust a hundred meters away with absolute clarity.

My Soul Force? His soul strength had grown immeasurably. Previously in the Fourth Eldritch Realm, his Soul Force could only extend ten meters beyond his body. But now, with a mere thought, he could extend it to a radius of 100 meters.

Wu Yuan sensed that the invisible suppression of heaven and earth's power was still in force. Hence, there was only one explanation his soul had strengthened remarkably. Before he could delve further into this revelation, a profound shock overcame him.

My strength? At that moment, Wu Yuan finally sensed his newfound physical strength. The improvement of his physical constitution gave him the feeling that he could kill a Grandmaster in a single punch.

He rose to his feet and exerted some strength in his arm. Even without testing it with a punch, Wu Yuan already knew the extent of his physical enhancement.

Single-arm punch force of 330,000 catties! Wu Yuan's eyes widened in shock. How could such a transformation occur?

Before entering the Fourth Eldritch Realm, his physical constitution was only 240,000 catties. In the blink of an eye, it had increased by a staggering 90,000 catties.

"Wu Yuan, you're finally awake," a voice filled with joy echoed through the air. It was the black-armored giant.

"Realm Master, what happened?" Wu Yuan asked. Lifting his palms, he could feel the surging power within him, leaving him somewhat at a loss. This sudden improvement in strength was somewhat mortifying.

"Don't worry, calm your mind. Feel your musculoskeletal system, feel your lower dantian lobe, and sense the newly awakened soul chamber within your body," the black-armored giant spoke softly. "You haven't reached your human body's limit yet, hence the eldritch tattoos are hidden. But with the strength of your soul, perceiving them shouldn't be a problem. Once you sense them, you'll naturally understand many things."

Wu Yuan immediately quieted his mind, his Soul Force turning inward as the black-armored giant had suggested. He began to focus on his lower dantian lobe.

Soon, he was shocked to discover that his body's musculoskeletal system had undergone a remarkable transformation, accompanied by profound changes in his lower dantian lobe. Countless cryptic patterns containing the profoundness of the Dao filled Wu Yuans perception.

In the depths of Wu Yuan's lower dantian, a surreal realm unfurled in his mind, housing a towering figure with closed eyes. The sight took him aback.

Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu?

Boom! Without warning, the figure shattered into countless streams of information that rushed into Wu Yuan's mind. Nine degrees of eldritch tattoosEldritch ProgenitorsTerranean Body. eldritch universal cultivationsoul chamber circulation An abundance of information overwhelmed him. It took some time for Wu Yuan to fully grasp his current circumstances, given the strength of his soul.

Inheritance memories, I see now.

Eventually, he came back to his senses. Opening his eyes, he bowed respectfully to the nearby portrait of Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu. Then, he turned and bowed once more to the realm master, expressing his gratitude.

"Hou Feng Wu Yuan of the Hou Feng Tribe thanks Realm Master for his guidance!"

Only by delving into the cultivation methodology of the eldritch warrior did Wu Yuan realize the immense power and significance of the Eldritch Progenitors. He now fully understood the extraordinary opportunity he had been granted.

The black-armored giant smiled. "Haha, excellent. From this day forward, you are officially a member of the Hou Feng Tribe."

In the eldritch lineage, one's name was preceded by the name of their tribe, a tradition upheld during formal occasions. However, on regular days, one did not have to follow it.

"Wu Yuan, you have received heavenly endowed eldritch tattoos. This is the best possible eldritch treasure, surpassing anything I had originally prepared for you," the black-armored giant said. "Tell me, what degree of eldritch tattoo did you condense?"

"Second degree!" Wu Yuan replied.

"Not too shabby," remarked the black armored giant, a tinge of admiration evident. "A first-degree eldritch tattoo is akin to a first-degree immortal root for a qi refiner. It is the stuff of myths and legends, highly sought after yet practically unattainable. Second-degree eldritch tattoos are already an unimaginable achievement. At the very least, you will face no obstacles on your path to becoming an Archeldritch."

"Mm," Wu Yuan acknowledged with a slight nod.

The title of Archeldritch signified an unfathomably powerful level within the eldritch lineage, granting one the ability to establish their own clans and tribes.

While progressing through their cultivation paths, eldritches possessed the capability to gradually upgrade the degree of their eldritch tattoos using alternative methods. However, with each progressive cultivation phase, the cost and difficulty grew increasingly prohibitive.

Eldritch tattoos signified ones potential. If one condensed high-degree eldritch tattoos from the very beginning, ones cultivation progress would be far swifter, greatly increasing the chances of reaching the Archeldritch phase in the future.

"Alright! Since you have obtained the inheritance memories, I won't repeat the details," declared the black-armored giant. "First, l shall explain the treasures I have prepared for you."
