Cursed Immortality

Chapter 684 Five life Phantom Hydra

After Jacob had absorbed all the blood of Anonymous Star Nos. 2 to 9, he decided it was time to sculpt his lower legs, starting from his ankles. So he found a secluded place and let Autarch guard him, who was now in Anonymous Star1's body.

But first, he asked Immortika, "What was Anonymous Star2's race? His blood was so potent despite his weak physique."

Jacob still couldn't forget about the potent blood vitality of Anonymous Star2 and wanted to know about his race. If there were more like him, he didn't mind putting some effort into investigating their whereabouts. After all, the more potent the blood vitality, the better it was for him, for it would greatly increase his speed of completing the third stage.

"Hehehe… so you've noticed that, huh?" Immoritka laughed with great relish and wrote, "Well, it's only natural because he has a true legendary bloodline like a Wyvern, slightly stronger even. He's a Five Life Phantom Hydra! And what you've killed was merely his Blood Incarnation!"

Jacob's eyes widened when he heard this unexpected revelation and quickly questioned, "So, he's still alive!? What kind of race is this Phantom Hydra? Because the Anonymous Star1 clearly confirmed his death, but you're telling me that was just some kind of clone that can even fool detection of a Life Signature and bypass the Oath Contract?"

Jacob felt agitated because this ability was simply too ridiculous, and he would give away anything to have such an ability himself. Furthermore, this legendary bloodline was even stronger than a Wyvern, and now Jacob was feeling uneasy because if this guy was alive and was just a mere clone, then this meant he had experienced everything, and now he was in the wind.

Although Jacob had quickly killed him, he still didn't know how much he had seen, which made Jacob frown gravely. Not to mention, it was quite clear that he could also bypass the Oath Contract like him, or he wouldn't be able to pull such a stunt on the ATLAS.

"Hehehehe, it's not a clone but an incarnation. You see, the Five Life Phantom Hydra has a very special bloodline aspect named Lifeline that grants it five lives, which means you must kill it five times before you can completely kill it.

"Furthermore, the Five-Life Phantom Hydra can willingly split those lives into Blood Hydra Incarnation by sacrificing half of his lifespan and power rank. Although this ability is quite pricey, once it splits into an Incarnation, the process isn't reversible, and a Lifeline will be gone.

"However, if used in a correct situation, it can be a lifesaver and can grant it a new slate. When the main body split away from an incarnation, if it had any kind of restraints like contracts or unbreakable oaths, or if the body was afflicted with some powerful poisons or curses, it was left behind on the incarnation.

"Furthermore, the main body's life signature will also change, including the mystic signature. That's why this aspect is called Lifeline: It can grant a new life to the Five Life Phantom Hydra.

"The incarnation you just killed should be this Five-Life Phantom Hydra's second life incarnation, which left him with three more lifelines. Since he dared to use an incarnation, this could only mean he's long gone! Hahahaha!" Immoritka laughed towards the end as if enjoying Jacob's gloomy expression.

"I didn't know there was a bloodline like this out there," Jacob muttered as he was completely enticed by this bloodline aspect and couldn't help but want it for himself.

But alas, he knew it was just a pipe dream since he had missed his chance, and the third stage didn't allow him to rob others of their aspects like the second stage.

However, it was only momentarily since even if he had known about such a bloodline, he wouldn't have put his progress on hold just to search for such an elusive bloodline.

After all, a legendary bloodline was simply too rare in lower galaxies, and hunting them required power, so he didn't feel much regret.

"But how did he find out about this ambush? I made sure the others hadn't alerted each other and hunted them one by one. Yet, this guy was able to predict and even use this ridiculous ability by paying such a price. Only someone with absolute conformation could have resolved it using a lifeline," Jacob thought out loud. This was still very strange, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable as he thought someone was watching him.

In truth, this question was directed at Immoritka since he knew there was something more to this Hydra and wanted to know.

"Hahahaha… just ask if you want my opinion, and it wasn't like this is a big deal. He was able to avoid your little scheme because of his Hydra Instincts, which are very keen when it comes to sensing mortal danger to their lives. Since he wasn't arrogant enough to ignore those Hydra Instincts, he was able to keep the rest of his lives while only paying with one." Immoritka explained.

Jacob's eyes winded slightly because something instantly came to mind when he heard about these Hydra Instincts, "Isn't it just like the Fighting Giant Spirit?"

"You can say that." Immoritka didn't deny Jacob's comparison.

After getting the information about the hidden secret behind the Anonymous Star2, Jacob ordered Autarch to be even more careful. Although he had already confirmed that there wasn't any hidden danger around him with Immortika, he was still wary of Anonymous Star2.

Only then did he start the sculpting of the longevity scheme on his lower legs. This time, it took Jacob around a month until he exhausted all his blood vitality again.

But he wasn't too depressed about it since he could tell after completing both of his lower legs and even completing around 2% of his upper right leg with extra blood he might already be as strong as a newly advanced inception legend rank expert.

However, he had no way of knowing for sure, and Immortika refused to tell him his current power level. Nonetheless, what mattered most was the progress of the cursed bone marrow, and after enduring months of pain, it had reached 31.01%!

After getting familiar with his new strength, he was finally ready, and he directly ordered Autarch, "Let's go; we are going to the heart of the Siren Hymn Temple!"
