BXBX NOVEL Chapter 122: Activating the Divine Bloodline and Assimilating the Vile Fragment
Nevertheless, he did not intend to miss the show.
Zhang Nu was seated on top of the terrace of his castle.
A row of fox-kin maids were standing by at his sides, each with fruits or confectionery in their hands, and a few bottles of excellent wine brewed by the elves were specifically opened for this occasion.
He was enjoying the spectacle of the battle.
It was as if he was watching a 6D immersive movie.
Along with the fine wine as well as the maid service, it was a pleasant and leisure experience.

Zhang Nu\'s player interface was being bombarded with kill confirmation cues. One could vividly imagine the severity of this battle just by looking at the streams of prompts.
Suffice to say.
This was no longer a battle, it was a massacre. This was no battlefield, it was a slaughterhouse.
The beholders\' light beams continued to illuminate the night sky.
One after another, the invaders were hit, screaming in terror as they fell out the sky.
Death! Carnage! Despair!
Lives were so fragile and feeble in places like this.
Zhang Nu felt this was the epiphany and pinnacle beauty of extreme violence.
Within just twenty minutes.
The battle was basically over.
Zhang Nu stood up and swept a glance around his territory.
The structures and buildings of Darkness City were virtually unscathed.
The air, however, was brimming with a pungent odor of blood and charred flesh.
The ground was littered with bodies and corpses of various species, including vampires, harpies, winged-kins, varying giant eagles and hawks, winged beasts, as well as other miscellaneous flying mounts.
It was a spectacle reminiscent of an apocalypse.
Zhang Nu muttered, "I thought these guys could more or less retaliate, but I didn\'t anticipate the beholders to be this proficient in anti-air defense.
The moment the ten thousand beholders began firing en masse.
It nearly completely devastated the fighting spirit and morale of the alliance army.
The draconian legion had very few opportunities to engage the alliance troops, as only a minority of them was able to land and attack the beholders, the remaining majority were brutally mowed down by the beholder beams.
The beholders\' attack range was just too far reaching.
And it could unleash its beam attack every three seconds.
However, the attack had a hefty MP consumption rate.
lіghtnоvеlwоrld․соm fоr а bеttеr uѕеr ехреrіеnсе
Based on the beholders\' total MP.
It could originally only fire its beam attack ten times or so in a row.
But due to the buffing and amplification effects of the Lifespring, Demon King Castle and the Temple of Nature, they could attack for a total of at least twenty times.
Ten thousand beholders.
With each and every one of them attacking for twenty times.
That would be 200,000 rays of beam attacks.
In addition, beholders had acute precision in their attacks.
When faced against such a high intensity and density barrage of deadly light beams, the alliance joint army had neither preparations nor plans.
Which was why.
Their defeat was inevitable.
Zhang Nu reviewed the spoils of this battle.
This time, the enemy quality was rather poor, with only one eighth of elite units among these forty to fifty thousand combat units, the remaining vast majority were only normal units.
Though the quality was lacking.
The quantity made up for it.
Zhang Nu had a haul of around 650,000 gold.
80% of this joint army had perished in the Darkness Valley, only a few managed to flee the carnage and were being pursued by the super soldiers. These survivors doubtless would not be able to survive for long.
Supposing that.
Ordinary warriors and soldiers.
Still had some lucky survivors among them.
Then the Heroes had faced complete annihilation.
The Demon King would not possibly allow even a single Hero to flee. Using the Tower of Evil Eye, Zhang Nu locked onto the whereabouts of every single of these Heroes. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for them to escape.
It was exactly how the two Level 4 Heroes, Cao Zuo and Zhu Yan were taken out.
The Tower of Evil Eye could only attack one target at a time, but the attack it dealt was a high intensity psychic attack with a stun effect.
With its exceedingly far attack range.
Once the Level 4 Heroes were locked on.
They were doomed without a doubt.
Even the Level 4 Heroes were unable to escape, let alone the Level 3 Heroes. Since there were only a dozen or so Heroes in total, the Tower of Evil Eye could easily handle them one by one.
From this battle.
Apart from the obtained gold.
Thirty one Level 3 souls and two Level 4 souls were also obtained, as well as 25 pieces of skill stones of various levels. This was a great and remarkable haul!
The accumulated souls were now sufficient.
During the takeover of Berserk Beast City, most of the souls, except for the Level 4 Hero, Tu Xiuming\'s soul, were left untouched.
Not long ago, when dealing against the Infernal Daemon in the Calamity Volcano, another fifteen Heroes were incidentally taken out, and fifteen Level 3 souls were obtained.
Now, there were nearly 50 Level 3 Hero\'s Souls in hand.
Sacrificing a Level 3 soul could provide Zhang Nu with an average of 200 talent points or so.
In other words.
He did not even need to use the two Level 4 souls.
As long as all the Level 3 souls were sacrificed, he would have enough to accumulate 10,000 talent points.
To say the least.
lіghtnоvеlwоrld․соm fоr а bеttеr uѕеr ехреrіеnсе
Zhang Nu was a little taken aback.
He did not expect to have accumulated the sufficient amount of talent points so quickly.
This operation of the Divine Swords Heroes was truly a timely rain for Zhang Nu!
[You\'ve sacrificed a Level 3 Hero\'s Soul. 210 talent points gained!]
[You\'ve sacrificed a Level 3 Hero\'s Soul. 208 talent points gained!]
[You\'ve sacrificed a Level 3 Hero\'s Soul. 202 talent points gained!]
[You\'ve sacrificed a Level 3 Hero\'s Soul. 222 talent points gained!]
[......]
Zhang Nu used up all the Level 3 souls in one go.
Current talent points: 11,052!
Zhang Nu found that not only did he receive his much needed 10,000 talent points, there was even a surplus of more than 1,000.
Without further ado.
He immediately activated the first Level 4 talent.
The Level 4 talents were: Spatial Manipulation, Time Control, and Dragon God Bloodline.
The first two were extraordinarily rare space-time attribute talents, and under normal circumstances, Zhang Nu would prioritize these two.
However, this was no longer the case.
Zhang Nu needed the Dragon God Bloodline.
So as to safely assimilate the Evil God fragment without risk or repercussion.
It was not safe to keep the Evil God fragment in hand.
It might recover from its dormant state and resume its activity at any time, which was why it was better to absorb it as soon as possible to avoid potential disaster or hassle.
[You\'ve activated the Level 4 Talent "Dragon God Bloodline"!]
[Your physique and talents have been enhanced. HP +50%, MP +50%, the four main stats +25%. High Anti-Magic has evolved into Supreme Anti-Magic!]
Zhang Nu could distinctly feel it.
His physical body had received an immediate enhancement.
The High Anti-Magic had evolved directly into Supreme Anti-Magic, which could grant immunity even against A rank spells.
What an immensely powerful talent.
The Dragon God bloodline was truly remarkable.
The amazing bloodline had a long lasting effect and would grant additional enhancements with every advancement or ascension in the future, as well as foster and stimulate the evolution of various talents.
[Would you like to assimilate the "Evil God Fragment"?]
[The Evil God Fragment is extremely powerful. After absorbing the fragment, you will gain the power of the Evil God. However, your talents, bloodline and physique will be permanently affected. Please make the choice after utmost consideration.]
With the foundation of the Dragon God Bloodline.
Zhang Nu could boldly assimilate it.
He glanced at the eyeball in his palm, and took a deep breath...
In the next instance.
The giant eyeball vanished.
An eerie yet powerful surge of energy invaded his body from the palm. It was savage and aggressive as it rampaged throughout his entire being and flowed through his every limb and cell.
It was attempting to overrun the body.
It was attempting to occupy every cell.
However, the cells in Zhang Nu\'s being emanated a strong repulsive force, making it impossible for this invasive energy to break in and take over.

Eventually.
Each and every stream of the energy converged on his forehead.
Zhang Nu felt a mild tearing pain.
Then, a small slit appeared in the middle of his eyebrows.
From the slit, a crimson red vertical eye emerged!
The blood red pupil.
It was rotating around in every direction.
Whoever was gazed upon by this eye would immediately be contaminated and infested by the aura of Evil God.
Not only would they feel a sinister and overwhelming pressure, they would also suffer a constant HP drain. Zhang Nu could now kill with just his gaze, simply by staring at his victims.
This was overpowered.
He gradually sensed and came to realize.
He could now control this third eye.
And could even see through the eye.
Although the world in this eye was almost devoid of color, Zhang Nu could now view things previously inaccessible to the naked eye.
[Evil God Fragment assimilated successfully!]
[Your maximum MP +1000!]
[You\'ve activated a new talent: Eye of Death!]
Zhang Nu freely controlled this third eye.
He could make it disappear completely or have it appear at any time.
Zhang Nu could even transfer the eye to other parts of his body. Rather than an organ, it was better to categorize it as a special skill.
After absorbing the Evil God fragment.
His maximum MP had increased by 1,000 points.
Although a thousand MP point was indeed substantial, it was definitely not the highlight of this talent.
Zhang Nu opened up his personal interface.
And looked at the introduction of this new talent.
[Eye of Death] Talent skill. After activation, the user is immune to damage inflicted by necrotic energy. Consumes 100 MP per minute. The eye can convert the power of the Evil God, and unleash skills like "Death Stare", etc.
This description was somewhat too generalized.
It was utterly distinct from the usual talents or skills.
The Eye of Death was an Evil God talent that was not fully compatible with the laws of this world and therefore possessed many unexplainable powers.
The information presented by the interface.
It could not interpret all the abilities of the Eye of Death.
Zhang Nu needed to spend time researching, practicing, exploring and even cultivating to continuously uncover and develop the power and potential of the eye.
Currently.
This eye only came with one "Death Stare" skill.
During his expedition to the sealed chamber, he had witnessed the Death Stare of the Eye of Evil God and left a profound impression.
Unexpectedly.
He himself could utilize this skill now.
Not bad at all. With this eye, Zhang Nu\'s combat methods and approaches had grown once more, and he obtained an additional instant kill move. His overall strength had greatly improved, and yet there was still a lot of room for future growth.
The utmost importance was that.
Тhе lаtеѕt аnd mоѕt рорulаr nоvеlѕ аt lіghtnоvеlwоrld․соm
Zhang Nu did not experience any uncontrollable mutations in his body as a result of assimilating the Evil God fragment.
The Eye of Death was now just a special talent that could be freely deployed for Zhang Nu. He possessed the ability to exploit the power of Evil God, while ignoring its backlash and side effects.
This particular aspect was especially crucial for future development.
