Chapter 397 Blood Demon Diamond
Lin Qiye's face immediately revealed an undisguised look of ecstasy!
Without the slightest hesitation, he flashed and appeared in front of the blood-red crystal, reaching out and grabbing it in his palm without a second thought!
boom--!!!!!!
It felt warm to the touch, yet it was as if I were holding a star that was about to explode!
A torrent of energy, like a bursting dam, surged wildly into his body through his palm!
"Hmm!"
Lin Qiye groaned, feeling as if his body was about to be burst apart by this tyrannical and unreasonable terrifying force!
However, before this violent energy could cause any substantial damage to his body, his six vast and boundless martial intents descended like six eternal and immortal ancient divine mountains!
That violent torrent of energy was like a raging fire encountering ten-thousand-year-old ice before that domineering and unparalleled sixth-level extreme martial intent. It was instantly suppressed and all its edges were smoothed out, transforming into the purest and most magnificent primordial power, which continuously poured into his vast and boundless spiritual sea of consciousness!
【Ding! 】
[Spiritual Consciousness Sea (13%): Blood Bone Orb (6%), Shadow Binding Heart (6%), Blood Demon Diamond (1%)]
As the system notification sounded, Lin Qiye could clearly feel that his hazy mental sea had once again undergone a tremendous expansion!
The Blood Demon Diamond?!
Lin Qiye instantly understood.
This blood-red crystal is the core of that enormous blood sacrifice array, and the essence of the high priest's power and rules!
Detailed information about this mysterious relic instantly flooded Lin Qiye's mind.
The Blood Diamond has only had its most basic usage unlocked so far.
Life is precious!
During an attack, it can absorb the enemy's life force to provide the holder with a continuous source of power and recovery.
As for the near-immortality displayed by the high priest, it would probably require unlocking the gem at a deeper level to obtain it.
However, besides its direct combat uses, this Blood Demon Diamond also has a reverse effect.
That is to give to others through the essence of one's own life.
Those who obtain the essence of life will not only have their strength greatly enhanced and gain some of Lin Qiye's abilities, but will also become his...blood servant from the depths of his soul.
As time goes by, this loyalty will only grow deeper until it never betrays you.
Blood Servant?
Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow slightly.
This sounds... kind of like the legendary vampire?
Could it be that in this world of high martial arts, there also exist species similar to vampires?
Of course, this seemingly incredible ability does not come without a price.
Each bestowal requires a large amount of life essence.
Moreover, if overused, the holder himself will also be at risk of being devoured and assimilated by this evil force.
but……
Looking at his vast, hazy sea of consciousness and the six golden suns hanging high above it like an eternal sun, Lin Qiye's lips curled into a confident smile.
Backlash?
nonexistent.
This mysterious relic looks pretty impressive!
To build a Blood Demon Legion that is loyal only to oneself?
Lin Qiye suddenly remembered his system...
If we combine these two...
This scene cannot be described any further!
If there were too many descriptions, the entire book might not even exist!
With a thought, Lin Qiye sank the newly refined "Blood Demon Diamond" along with the previous "Blood Bone Pearl" and "Shadow Binding Heart" into the deepest part of his spiritual sea.
After doing all this, he slowly turned around, his gaze calmly sweeping over the dilapidated tower.
It's time... to go see those humans imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
Lin Qiye's figure moved through the dilapidated facade of the tower.
Most of the area was completely destroyed in the devastating battle, leaving only twisted steel skeletons and charred ruins.
He followed the information he had extracted from the human women in the abyss and continued downwards.
Soon, he found the "heavenly prison" inside the tower.
Unlike the area below, this place wasn't completely destroyed; it was just covered in spiderweb-like cracks and looked like it was about to collapse.
A massive, heavy black door, made of an unknown metal, stood silently.
The door was engraved with countless complex and strange runes, which had lost their energy.
It's estimated that the battle just now completely destroyed the energy of the entire tower, and even the entire city.
Lin Qiye walked to the door, reached out, and gently pressed his hand on the cold metal door.
boom--!!!
The seemingly indestructible, heavy metal door shattered like paper in front of Lin Qiye!
Behind the door was a narrow and dimly lit passageway.
An unpleasant odor permeated the air.
On both sides of the passage were rows of airtight cells made of the same material.
Each cell door has only one small observation window, just big enough for one person to peek through.
Lin Qiye's gaze calmly swept over the cells.
His mental power, like an invisible tide, instantly penetrated the barrier of the cell, taking in everything inside.
Each cell holds one or more humans.
Most of them huddled in the corner of the cell, their eyes empty and numb, as if they had long since lost all hope and soul.
Others, like mad beasts, paced back and forth in the confined space, uttering incomprehensible roars and howls.
Without exception, they all exuded an aura of the abyss, whether strong or faint.
Clearly, they had all undergone that so-called "purification," and their spirits were already on the verge of collapse.
Lin Qiye's brows furrowed tightly.
He could clearly sense that the life force of these people had become extremely weak, like a candle flickering in the wind, which could be extinguished at any moment.
Even if we rescue them now, they probably won't live much longer.
Their souls had long been thoroughly corrupted and polluted by the abyss.
At the same time, Lin Qiye's keen eyes caught sight of their already tattered combat uniforms.
It's an imperial-standard civilian combat uniform!
An indescribable joy welled up in Lin Qiye's heart!
These people are very likely people who strayed into the abyss from a spatial rift in the 0755 galaxy or even other human galaxies and were then captured here!
They must know the way out of here!
However, seeing their half-dead state, Lin Qiye frowned deeply again.
It would be difficult to extract useful information from these people who have already suffered a mental breakdown.
Should we...?
A thought suddenly popped into his mind.
Should I use the power of the "Blood Demon Diamond" that I just acquired, and use my own life essence to forcibly activate their life force so that they won't die so easily, at least... so that I can get the information I need?
Just then, Lin Qiye suddenly stopped in his tracks!
His extraordinary senses detected a hint of something unusual in a prison cell!
This aura... is far stronger than that of the prisoners in the other cells who have long been numb and desperate!
A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes.
His figure flashed and appeared silently at the door of the cell.
He reached out and gently tore open the observation window, which was made of an unknown metal.
"Sizzle—!"
A sickening metallic tearing sound rang out!
The incredibly sturdy observation window was torn open as easily as a piece of paper, revealing the scene inside the cell!
In the corner of the cell, a tall and slender woman was sitting quietly cross-legged.
She was dressed in a gray combat uniform, her long black hair was casually tied back, revealing a face with distinct features and a commanding presence.
Although her face was also pale and her lips were chapped, her eyes were like two drawn swords, sharp as knives, and full of indomitable fighting spirit!
Even when she was imprisoned, she did not give up and continued to resist the erosion of the abyss!
And lying next to her was a young girl who was slightly younger than her.
His face was as pale as paper, and his breath was extremely weak.
The woman reached out and gently placed her hand on the girl's wrist, slowly channeling a wisp of spiritual energy into the girl's body in an attempt to sustain her dying embers.
Lin Qiye could clearly sense that this woman was an extraordinary powerhouse!
Moreover... her strength is probably even greater than that of Li Zhenru back then!
Just then, the woman seemed to realize something and suddenly looked up!
Those sharp, knife-like eyes pierced through the dim light and collided violently with Lin Qiye's gaze in mid-air!
A will filled with vigilance and hostility, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, fiercely stabbed towards Lin Qiye!
However, as soon as this will left the body, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, without causing the slightest ripple, and was completely devoured and obliterated by Lin Qiye's sixth-level extreme martial intent, which was like a divine realm!
"Hmm!"
The woman groaned, feeling as if her mental world was being crushed by an invisible mountain, her mind buzzing and stars flashing before her eyes!
Lin Qiye looked at the woman's wary and hostile eyes and calmly shook his head.
His voice was calm, yet it possessed a power that could soothe the soul.
"Don't be afraid."
"I'm here to save you."
Upon hearing this, the woman was taken aback at first, and then a hint of undisguised surprise flashed in her sharp, knife-like eyes.
That brief exchange of words had made her acutely aware of a cruel truth—
The strength of this young man before me is unfathomable!
That domineering and terrifying martial will, which seemed capable of crushing everything, was far more terrifying than the Abyss Extraordinary Squad that captured them back then!
Even more terrifying than the high priests they had ever seen!
Is this powerful figure really here to save them?
Her lips, chapped from long imprisonment, parted slightly as she tentatively asked, "You...you've come...to rescue us?"
Lin Qiye nodded.
He didn't say anything more, he just reached out and gently tore it open!
"Sizzle—!!!!"
A sickeningly loud metallic tearing sound suddenly rang out in the deathly silent passage!
The gap in the cell door instantly widened and split in two, then was casually tossed aside!
The woman stared at the unbelievable scene before her, her sharp, knife-like eyes instantly filled with utter shock and disbelief!
She stared blankly at the calm-looking young man, looking into his deep eyes, and a storm raged in her heart!
She knew better than anyone how sturdy that prison door was!
Back then, she tried countless times and tried every possible method, but she couldn't leave even the slightest trace on it!
But now...
He actually... tore it apart with his bare hands?!
What kind of monster is this man?!
Just as she was reeling and in disbelief, Lin Qiye had already stepped into the cell.
His gaze fell on the young girl lying on the ground, her breath faint, and his brows furrowed slightly.
He could clearly sense that the girl's life force had become extremely weak, as if it might be extinguished at any moment.
"She..." Lin Qiye looked at the woman who was still in shock.
The woman was startled awake by his voice. She quickly came to her senses, a bitter smile appearing on her face, and a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.
"She...is my sister..."
"She...is dying..."
"The environment here is severely eroding us..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye pondered for a moment.
He reached out and, to the woman's astonishment, gently inserted his hand into the girl's chapped lips.
"You..." The woman instinctively tried to stop him.
However, the next second, she was completely stunned.
A gentle yet powerful life energy, like the warmest spring water, slowly flowed from the man's fingers and continuously poured into his sister's body!
The girl's face, which had been as pale as paper, regained some color at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The breath, which was so faint it was almost gone, gradually became steady and strong!
The woman stared blankly at the miraculous scene before her, her usually sharp eyes revealing an undisguised...excitement!
