From the moment Les let out a roar, from the contorted pain on his face to later suppressing the power of the Essence Blood, the Dark Councilor quietly watched from the side. He had done all he could for Les, and what remained depended on Les's own fate. Thus, there was not even a ripple on his face!

Having fully absorbed the first drop of Essence Blood, Les's aura returned to its peak, and all the hidden injuries on his body disappeared.

He opened his eyes and swallowed two drops of Essence Blood in one gulp. The power erupting from two drops was much stronger than that of one drop, even far exceeding the effect of one plus one!

Crack, crack, Les's body seemed like an inflated balloon. Cracks appeared on his limbs and torso, from which blood seeped, quickly turning Les into a blood-stained figure.

"I could withstand the power of one drop of Essence Blood, so what's to fear from just two!" Les laughed wildly in his heart. He had a feeling that the more his body was strained, the faster he could feel the Essence Blood's power merging with himself!

Moreover, his body seemed to be telling him it longed for such power! Pain mixed with ecstasy, this was Les's most honest portrayal right now!

Just when Les could barely hold on, he suddenly felt a cracking sound from inside his body, followed by a strong suction force from within, quickly absorbing the power of the two drops of Essence Blood!

"What is happening?" Les was a little shocked and confused as to why such a sound came from his body and why he had such a strong urge to continue devouring the Essence Blood's power?

Les put the last two drops of Essence Blood into his mouth again. Boom, boom, boom! Loud roars emanated from within him, as if a dam had broken, and the vast power of the Essence Blood was sucked into his body even before it had a chance to release.

At this point, Les finally discovered the anomaly. In his heart was a drop of dark golden blood, which continuously expanded and contracted, as if it was breathing after absorbing the power of the Essence Blood.

"This is..." Les couldn't help but swallow. He never knew there was such a strange drop of blood in his body.

With a crack, a fissure appeared on the surface of the dark golden blood droplet, emitting countless dark golden rays of light, illuminating Les's body, where a revolutionary change occurred wherever they touched.

With a muffled sound, Les's eyes rolled back, and he passed out! Despite withstanding the Essence Blood's explosion, he couldn't withstand the transformation brought by the golden light!

"Failed?" The Dark Councilor looked at the unconscious Les, a flash of disappointment in his eyes. He initially wanted to see what changes would occur to Les after absorbing the Essence Blood, but now...

"Could the rumors be wrong?" The Dark Councilor pondered with a frown.

Just as the Dark Councilor was about to gather Les's "body," countless dark golden lights suddenly emanated from within Les, under which his body gradually transformed, becoming dark golden in color.

"This is... the Light of Ancestral Return?" The Dark Councilor's face revealed an incredible expression, and his hands trembled slightly: "Indeed, the words of the ancestors were true! By devouring the Essence Blood of the Abyssal Creatures, one can awaken the ancestral blood; it was all true, hahaha!"

Amidst the Dark Councilor's wild laughter, Les's entire body evolved. His appearance hadn't drastically changed, but his body became more slender and robust, with three pairs of massive black wings growing from his back!

Waves of powerful aura emanated from Les, and with the awakening of the ancestral blood, he had successfully stepped into the Demi-God Domain, making his power vastly different from before!

Slowly, Les opened his eyes, a dark golden light bursting forth from them.

"This..." Les looked at his body, clenched his fists, and showed a joyous expression: "Have I actually stepped into the Demi-God Domain? This... is incredible!"

The Dark Councilor smiled and asked, "Les, how do you feel? Is there anything unusual?"

Les gently flapped the wings on his back, his body suspended in mid-air.

He stretched out his hand: "Hell Black Flame!"

A violent black flame shot from his fingers, instantly enveloping the entire plaza in Hell Black Flame.

A Light Shield appeared on the surface of the Dark Councilor's body, but he was astonished to find that the Hell Black Flame could slowly dissolve his Light Shield, which was not something someone who had just entered the Demi-God Domain could achieve.

"Put away your Hell Black Flame!" the Dark Councilor said blandly: "It seems like your body's in excellent shape!"

Les beamed with a radiant smile: "It's more than excellent; I've never felt so good. My body is now filled with boundless power. I even have confidence to defeat Ling Feng if we encounter each other again!"

The Dark Councilor shook his head: "Although you have successfully entered the Demi-God Domain, you are not yet familiar with your current body. You must quickly become familiar with it to unleash its full potential! Besides, Ling Feng is even stronger now than six months ago. You probably still can't match him!"

Les's face revealed an expression of defiance, as he was very confident in his current self.

"If you don't believe me, look at this scene first!" The Dark Councilor waved his hand, and a scene appeared before Les. It showed Ling Feng slashing half of a Holy Envoy's body with a sword.

Although Ling Feng wore a mask, the Dark Councilor easily saw through Ling Feng's disguise.

"This... how is it possible!" Though separated by the scene, Les could still feel the overwhelming Sword Intent, sensing its all-conquering sharpness!

How could Ling Feng's power have grown so strong in just half a year! Les's heart was full of bitterness and unwillingness!

"Have you given up?" The Dark Councilor asked blandly.

Les took a deep breath and seriously said, "How could I possibly give up! I admit Ling Feng is powerful, but once I master this new body, I believe I will be the ultimate victor! This time, I will definitely not lose again!"

Saying this, Les turned and disappeared into the air.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of the Dark Councilor's mouth: "This world is becoming more and more interesting. Hell's Gate, Atlantis, the wondrous Eastern Swordsmanship... it seems the ancestors' words were true; a world-altering change is about to begin!"
