Dark Phoenix Prince

Chapter 33: Taking Jather's Blood Essence

Jather's first words made Alu want to praise him for being such a filial son. However, the burst of aura from Jather's body made Alu narrow his eyes.

Alu had predicted Jather's strength beforehand, but the power he was releasing now made Alu's expression turn serious.

Jather's spiritual source is actually still orange. Even though it had turned slightly green, it was still incomparable to a true fourth stage spiritual source.

What really surprised Alu was Jather's amount of spiritual sources. It actually exceeds seven thousand spiritual sources.

With Jather's cultivation at only the first layer of the Life and Death stage, that number was indeed quite astonishing. After all, the third layer of the Life and Death stage usually only had around eight thousand spiritual sources.

When Jather reached the third layer of the Life and Death stage, his spiritual source would definitely become inconceivable.

"Heh, worthy of being the supreme genius in the history of the Holy Light continent." Alu complimented him as he looked at Jather.

Jather didn't respond to Alu. He just stared at Alu with cold eyes, waiting for him to accept his challenge.

On the side, Old Hodus was also looking at Alu with curious eyes. He seemed to want to know how Alu would respond to Jather's challenge.

And Alu's next words took Old Hodus by surprise.

"Well, I admit that with my current strength, I will not be your opponent. So I will not accept your challenge." Said Alu.

Alu's expression looked very relaxed as he said that he was weaker.

Old Hodus naturally believed that Alu was weaker than his grandson with Alu's cultivation who was still at the True Spiritual stage. It's just that, he really didn't expect that Alu could admit his defeat so easily without making a single excuse.

Every genius is always arrogant. Even Old Hodus, who had lived a long time and experienced many setbacks in life, couldn't easily admit that he was weaker.

Jather was also so taken aback by Alu's words that he was at a loss as to how to act.

"Well, just because I don't accept your challenge, you won't go back on your word right?" Said Alu once again.

This time Alu smiled playfully.

Alu's playful smile made even Old Hodus want to cough.

Old Hodus had seen such a smile too many times. It was a smile when a young master from a great clan bully a helpless person.

As the ruler of the continent, Old Hodus had often seen the people of his clan smile like that.

He didn't expect that there would be a day when he and his grandson would also receive such smiles. And it also happened in his own territory.

Jather's expression looked bad too.

But Alu only smiled sarcastically when he saw their expressions.

"Well, if it was a direct fight, I wouldn't accept it. But if it was something else, I might still be able to accept it." Alu then offered another option.

Alu's offer made Old Hodus and Jather's expressions calm a little.

Jather, who kept staring at Alu, narrowed his eyes before he spoke again.

"I don't know why you haven't broken through yet. But this is indeed unfair because you are still at the True Spiritual stage." Said Jather.

"Then how about this. I'll give you three chances to attack me while I don't fight. If you can beat me, no, it's enough if you can hurt me, I'll admit defeat." Jather then posed another challenge.

This time Jather even raised his head as he stared at Alu.

"Oh."

When Alu heard Jather's words, he also looked at the latter.

"It's still acceptable." Alu replied with a faint smile.

"Alright. Then you can do it now."

After saying that, Jather then jumped several dozen meters back.

Even though Jather didn't retract from his aura, his expression still looked relaxed. He looked very confident.

"Hehehe." Alu chuckled before taking a step forward.

"I advise you to be careful." Alu said as he got closer to Jather.

After Alu said that, he lunged straight at Jather.

Boom...

Boundless spiritual energy erupted from Alu's body while bright white light shone from Alu's body.

Old Hodus and Jather were immediately taken aback when they saw Alu's spiritual source. However, what made them even more shocked was the pressure that Alu released.

Even though the pressure wasn't comparable to the pressure Jather released, it was still a pressure equivalent to that of the second layer of the Life and Death stage.

Jather immediately lost his confidence the moment he felt Alu's power.

Seeing Alu's fist getting closer to his face, Jather's expression immediately filled with panic. Alu's fists made him feel as if a mountain had fallen towards him.

Jather made such a challenge because he thought that Alu's strength was only equivalent to the first layer of the Life and Death stage. But he was clearly wrong.

Even if he was considered extremely strong for the Life and Death stage's second layer, it didn't mean he would be fine if he took an attack with the power of the Life and Death stage second layer.

Even if he didn't lose straight away, he would definitely be injured.

Whooss...

Alu's speed immediately shot up as light shone from his body.

With them only a few dozen meters away, Alu could reach Jather in an instant.

Shua...

When he arrived in front of Jather, Alu immediately sent his fist towards Jather's face.

Space shook wherever Alu's fist passed.

"I can feel it."

When Alu's fist was only an inch away from Jather's face, Alu suddenly said something Jather didn't understand.

Boom...

Jather didn't have time to think. When Alu's fist hit his face, he was immediately thrown back.

"This is mine." Jather once again heard Alu's words.

Jather, and even Old Hodus couldn't understand what Alu was saying.

They could only stare at Alu in confusion.

Cry....

As they looked at Alu, they suddenly heard the sound of Phoenix cry from within Alu's body.

The voice echoed so loudly that it stabbed deep into their souls.

Even though it was just a sound, it still made even Old Hodus feel inferior.

However, compared to Old Hodus, Jather who was being thrown was even more shocked. It was because when he heard the sound of the Phoenix cry from within Alu's body, the blood essence stored within his body suddenly trembled.

Before Jather could understand why, he suddenly felt a mysterious, invisible force creep into his body.

The power was creeping towards his heart where the blood essence was.

What surprised Jather even more were; he found that as that mysterious power enveloped the blood essence in his body, the blood essence that had originally looked like it wanted to rampage suddenly became extremely calm.

Jather felt as though that blood essence had met a being so great that it didn't have the courage to fight back.

An instant later, Jather and Old Hodus' eyes widened as they saw a drop of golden blood suddenly burst out of Jather's chest.
