Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 129: Blood Hymn

A heart-stirring battle finally came to an end.

On the snow, there was a large patch of ice blades crisscrossed with canine teeth, hundreds of cracks of varying lengths, and blood beaches of all sizes, all of which showed how fierce this battle had been. The Black Twilight King Snake relied on the ability to control its mind, allowing the Snow Giant to reveal a flaw at a critical moment. Only then did it have the chance to hang it in one fell swoop. However, after killing his natural enemy, the Black Twilight King Snake was also riddled with wounds. Especially where the Snow Giant had bitten off a large chunk of its flesh and blood from its back, it was still dripping with snake blood.

The king snake gasped, and the light in its eyes was no longer as strong as it was when it first met Alan. The snake eyes were dim. Even if the king snake fell to the ground and died in the next moment, Alan would not be surprised. On the contrary, he was glad that this was the case.

This place is not suitable for long stay.

He didn't want to go back to the snake nest. Alan glanced at the king snake. The king snake seemed to be recovering its breath. It lay motionless on the corpse of the snow giant. This fellow's vitality was truly astonishing. No wonder he still survived such a serious injury. Looking at it like that, he would probably recover from his injuries, and then he would jump around looking for food.

Alan carefully walked out of the cave. Looking to the right, he could vaguely see the silhouette of the Whispering Forest. A hundred meters away from the cave was the edge of the forest. Alan gently moved in that direction. He had only just taken a few steps when he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He was shocked and then looked at him. The Black Twilight King Snake had already raised its head, and its two big eyes were staring at him faintly.

Alan's scalp exploded.

The king snake suddenly moved and flew across the snow like the wind, slanting towards Allen. Allen shouted, "Unlucky!" He had no choice but to pounce back and roll to the edge of the cave. The king snake circled in the snow and bit at Alan with its mouth wide open. Helplessly, Alan turned around and ran back into the mountain. Behind him, there was a violent tremor. He hurriedly turned around and saw that the king snake was crashing into the edge of the cave, biting off a large amount of stone fragments with its big mouth.

The giant snake shook its head and entered the cave. It quickly pounced towards Alan.

The fishy wind blew! Alan turned around and saw that the two yellow-glowing snake eyes were already in front of him. The king snake opened its mouth and pounced towards Alan. At this dangerous moment, Alan pointed his toes and threw himself onto the ground. The Giant Snake Kiss could be brushed past his head, and Alan also stirred up the viciousness in his bones for the King Snake's desperate pursuit. He turned over on the ground, clenched the devil's praise, and ruthlessly stabbed into the lower part of the King Snake's body.

There were criss-crossing wounds on the head of the king snake. The snow giant had used its sharp claws to catch the scales flying everywhere, and it had even turned over a few flesh ditches. Alan's dagger stabbed into the King Snake's body without any hindrance. Originally, a short weapon like a dagger was nothing to the long and thick King Snake. The fatal thing was that it leapt into the air, and its body flew forward due to its inertia. Alan only grabbed the dagger and didn't let it go. The king snake let the demon praise itself and opened a long wound that was more than ten meters long on his abdomen!

The king snake's scales were harder than steel, but they were torn apart like cheese by the little dagger that the demons praised. As a result, the giant snake opened its mouth and opened its stomach. Snake blood shot out from the wound like a fountain, instantly spitting Alan into a bloody man. Warm intestines flowed out from inside and smashed into Alan's surroundings. The king snake let out a mournful cry. It had been heavily injured in the previous battle with the giant. At this moment, Alan tore open his body, and his blood essence leaked out, causing him to be even more powerless.

The giant snake fell to the ground with a loud rumble. Alan felt his eyes darken. He hurriedly covered his head with both hands, but he was still shaken up by the falling body of the king snake. He knocked his head on the hard ground and fainted. He was crushed under the corpse of the King Snake, and the blood of the Black Twilight King Snake was still flowing out of the huge wound, forming a blood spring in the low ground beside Alan.

The devil praise was almost soaked in the snake blood. The devil gem at the hilt of the saber shone brightly. The dagger was greedily absorbing the king snake's blood and sending strands of snake blood essence into Alan's body. Gradually, less than half of the wang Xuequan had disappeared. Later on, the Abyss Devil Gem emitted a dense scarlet light. The light extended along Allen's arm and enveloped him in a few breaths.

The snake blood was no longer absorbed by the dagger, but boiled as if it had its own will. In the end, more than a dozen tiny snake-like streams of blood flowed into Allen's mouth. At the same time, the wang Xue Quan evaporated on its own, forming a dark red mist of blood that wrapped around Alan's entire body and drilled into his pores and nose.

The process lasted for ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, the puddle of blood nearly dried up. More than half of King Snake's blood essence had been carved up by Alan and the devil.

"Wow!" Alan suddenly woke up and opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of snake blood. He wiped his mouth and felt bitter. He didn't know how much snake blood he had drunk. Looking at his entire body, it was even more scarlet red. At this moment, Ellen's gaze swept across the devil's praise, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

The Devil's Praise had changed at some point. If it was a dagger before, then it was a dagger now.

The length of the blade had increased by several centimeters. The silver blade had turned dark red, and in the middle of the blade was a pitch black line. It was like a black bolt of lightning that divided the blade into two sides. The blades had more serrations, and it was conceivable that when they were used to tear open the enemy, they would leave a rather troublesome wound on the enemy. The devil gem on the hilt of this newly born dagger was still the same.

A bright red light flashed in the gem, and Alan's mind was filled with more information.

In the first phase, the authority of Blood Hymn was lifted. Sharpness increased by 17%. Armor Penetration Potential Increases by 21%. Special ability [Blood Blade Burial] released!

Alan was stunned on the spot. He looked at the dagger in his hand repeatedly. The shock in his heart could no longer be expressed in words. Since he had the first stage, was there still a second or third stage? If that was the case, then the Evil Demon Praise was like a living creature, a weapon that could grow! With the ability to grow, without the Magic Cube sequence, but with the ability to use special abilities, the true identity of this weapon was already on the verge of being revealed.

Origin Tool!

That's right, the Evil Demon Praise is definitely one of those mysterious Origin Tools. If that was the case, who would the father he had never met be? In his hands, why would there be a devil praising such an Origin Tool? Furthermore, with the particularity of the Origin Tool, it was a priceless item that could not be bought for a thousand gold taels. Since his father had given such precious things to his mother, why would he leave without a reason when his mother was about to give birth to him?

Alan discovered that the more he understood his mysterious father, the more mysterious his background became.

Archimedes, what kind of man is he?

Speaking of the Devil's Praise, according to the information that the Origin Tool had sent him through his consciousness, the dagger was the daily form of the Devil's Praise. The short knife-like Blood Hymn was in the form of awakening. The demon hymn was in the form of awakening in stages, and the form of awakening would change in different stages. The higher the level, the stronger the special ability.

However, as for how many stages of the Devil Praise were there, the specific forms and abilities of each stage did not give a clear message.

Alan only knew that what was needed to activate a higher level of Awakening Form was Blood Essence! The blood essence of powerful beings was the source of the power of the devil's praise. Every time he used this Origin Tool to attack his opponent, as long as his skin was sliced open, the Devil's Praise would be able to absorb the blood essence of the opponent. A portion of the blood essence absorbed will be stored in the Abyss Devil Gem, which will be used as a fuel for awakening and special abilities. A small portion of it is fed back to the bearer, which strengthens the bearer's body functions.

It wasn't because he accidentally tore open the abdomen of the Black Twilight King Snake and absorbed a large amount of snake blood essence. He didn't know when the devil's praise would awaken the first stage of his form. Feeding on the blood of life, this Origin Tool Fruit was as described in its name. It was completely a demon!

The dark red color on the dagger's body was fading away, after the blood-like color had faded away. The pitch-black vein in the middle gradually disappeared. Then, the blade shortened, and the jagged teeth retracted. In the blink of an eye, it returned to its original dagger-like appearance. Looking at the origin artifact, Alan shook his head and put it back into the scabbard at his waist. Alan could only slowly discover its origins.

He didn't dare to reveal the secret of the devil's praise. Throwing out a rank ten magic energy weapon would still attract a fight, let alone an Origin Tool. Looking at Windsor Belo, who possessed the Endless Battery, he became Marshal Greed. Of course, Windsor Belo's own strength was also a factor, but the Origin Tool's help could not be underestimated. If outsiders found out that Alan also possessed an Origin Tool, Alan was almost certain that it would cause countless bloody storms.

No matter what, Alan still had a good harvest tonight. It was impossible to say that there was no trace of joy in obtaining a Origin Tool. However, when Alan saw the many dangerous species in the king snake nest and the corpses of the Black Twilight King Snake, he suddenly realized that his harvest might be even richer.

Not to mention the corpses of the king snake and the snow giant, it was a windfall to treat the corpses of the hundreds of tyrant bears in the snake nest as the corpses of the king snake. The fur of the Tyrant Bear was shiny silver, and it was one of the top-grade fur that the upper class favored. As for its Origin Jade, it was also a raw material for making high-grade Devil Martial Arts. The Tyrant Bear was still like this. Even if the Tenth Grade Black Twilight King Snake and the Snow Giant split up, they were still suffocating numbers.

Even the five snake eggs in the depths of the snake nest could definitely be sold for a good price. One had to know that the king snake only gave birth to one child at a time. Currently, there are five King Snake eggs. I believe that some research institutes in the Federation or rich families will be interested in buying them. Of course, Allen alone, not to mention selling these things, even transporting them back to Babylon was a problem.

Alan immediately thought of Leon. With Leon's identity, he was the right person to deal with these treasures!
