"Quick, look, there's something on the back of that blood corpse!" Lin Yuling pointed at one of the blood corpses and shouted.

Jiang Chen and his son turned their heads to look, and saw a blood corpse that had emerged from the 'Innate Peak' stone gate with a wooden box on its back.

"You've got to be kidding me. Are the three senior ancestors telling us to fight over an object from the blood corpse?" Jiang Chen grimaced.

"Roar!"

"Roar Roar!"

Three blood corpses suddenly roared furiously and charged towards Jiang Chen and the others.

"Let's fight! There's no other way!" Jiang Chen called out and drew his sword, rushing towards the blood corpse that had come out of the 'Innate Peak' stone gate.

Jiang Minglong faced the blood corpse from the second stone gate, while Lin Yuling took on the one that had emerged from the 'Innate Mid-stage' stone gate.

"First Form of the Blood Dance Heaven and Earth, Sky-cleaving Slash!"

Jiang Chen's first move was a lethal attack, viciously slashing at the blood corpse.

Hum!

A longsword's light appeared, viciously cleaving towards the blood corpse.

The blood corpse suddenly paused, with a few wrinkles appearing on its faceless head, as if it were surprised by something.

Shh!

The sound of a blade piercing flesh resounded as the sword light viciously slashed into the blood corpse's body, splitting it in two.

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, reached out and took the wooden box from the back of the blood corpse, and incredulously looked towards the dead blood corpse.

What's going on? How could this blood corpse... how could it not fight back at all?

Jiang Chen furrowed his brows tightly and glanced at the Blood Saber in his hand, recalling the two individuals in his dream-like memories.

Could it be...

Jiang Chen suddenly realized something.

Could the Cultivation Technique he was practicing actually be the Blood Blade Sect's from a thousand years ago?

Combined with the Blood Saber in his hand, the blood corpse must have mistaken him for a descendant of the Blood Blade Sect.

That's it! It must be!

The person in that palace said I am his successor, he... he must be the Blood Venerate from a thousand years ago! The very Blood Venerate who established the Blood Blade Sect!

Understanding this, Jiang Chen broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, suddenly frozen on the spot.

I am a descendant of the Blood Venerate? I'm practicing the Cultivation Technique of the Blood Blade Sect? Could I... could I become a target for annihilation by the various Sects and families?

The light in Jiang Chen's eyes gradually disappeared, and his eyes slowly turned lifeless.

"No! I cannot be hunted down! Everyone who wants to kill me must die! They all must die!"

Suddenly, Jiang Chen's eyes emitted a blood-colored light, which was not the same blood light that appeared when he operated his Cultivation Technique, but a kind of color indicative of extreme madness.

Hum Hum Hum!

A torrential killing intent burst forth from inside Jiang Chen, and a vigorous blood fog seeped from his body, enveloping him completely.

Thump! Thump!

Two muffled sounds were heard, and the two blood corpses suddenly stopped their battle and knelt before Jiang Chen, banging their heads on the ground fervently.

Jiang Minglong and Lin Yuling were taken aback, suddenly feeling an icy chill all over, a suffocating killing intent filling the entire space.

Their faces changed, and they quickly looked towards Jiang Chen.

"Chen'er? What's wrong with you?" Jiang Minglong's expression drastically changed, and he stepped forward to walk toward Jiang Chen.

"Brother Minglong, don't go over there, something's not right with him!" Lin Yuling stretched out her hand to hold Jiang Minglong back, speaking with a grave expression.

Hum!

Suddenly, a vast breath emitted from Jiang Chen's body, the blood light in his eyes abruptly dimmed, and his eyes slowly closed.

Whoosh!

A streak of light flashed by, and Jiang Chen once again found himself within the realm of dream memories.

Moreover, he appeared directly in front of that palace.

"Youngster, can you no longer control yourself?" The giant presiding over the palace looked down at Jiang Chen with a grave expression.

Even now, Jiang Chen's eyes were still brimming with a blood-red glow as he looked up at the giant, then lowered his gaze toward the palace in front of him.

"Haha! Haha...Blood Demon Heart Devouring! Who would have thought, who would have thought this lad had such good talent, he's nearly breaking through the Barrier between Heaven and Man, truly stepping into the realm of cultivation! Ha ha..."

From inside the palace, a wave of mad laughter sounded: "Jiang Wuwei, do you regret it? Back then you didn't kill this lad, and now you can't kill him anymore, right? Ha ha... Once he breaks through the Barrier between Heaven and Man, I can control him. Then, I'll have him slaughter his way up to Jincheng, kill all your Jiang Family of Jincheng! Ha ha..."

The giant above the palace furrowed his brows tightly, staring intently at Jiang Chen's eyes, indeed revealing a hint of regret.

The mercy of a moment's thought had led him to spare Jiang Chen on his first visit here, originally believing that Jiang Chen's progress couldn't possibly be so rapid. The second time around, he thought he could still see if Jiang Chen could remain true to himself.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Chen had already touched upon that barrier. He himself now had to fully suppress the demon below and no longer had spare strength to slay Jiang Chen at his current realm!

"Blood Demon Heart Devouring... Jiang Family of Jincheng... control me..." Jiang Chen muttered softly.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen's expression became fierce, and he shouted, "Blood Demon Heart Devouring? Whose heart do you want to devour? Control me? Who the fuck do you think you are to control me? You also want me to slaughter everyone in the Jiang Family of Jincheng? I am the Family Head of the Jiang Family of Jincheng, do you really think I would destroy my own family?"

Hum hum hum!

With Jiang Chen's scream, his momentum surged wildly, fluctuating erratically, and never steadied down.

"What? This lad can actually resist Blood Demon Heart Devouring? How is this possible?" A voice of disbelief came from the palace.

However, the giant above the palace's complexion dramatically changed as he, too, exclaimed, "This lad... is the Jiang Family Head of Jincheng?!"

"The Jiang Family Head?! Damn it! Damn it!"

From inside the palace erupted an uncontrollable furious voice: "How could the Blood Venerate's legacy fall into the hands of a Jiang? How could the Blood Drinking Mad Blade acknowledge a Jiang as its master? How could this be? The Jiangs have the Saint Dragon bloodline! Damn it!"

Roar!

With the voice from the palace concluding, a dragon's roar emerged from within Jiang Chen, and a subtle Golden Radiance surged out from his body, shrouding him within.

"Bloodline awakening?! The Saint Dragon bloodline has awakened! Ha ha! Heaven blesses the Jiang Family! Heaven blesses the Jiang Family!" The giant above the palace was overjoyed and laughed aloud.

Hum hum hum!

A majestic aura emanated from Jiang Chen's body and gradually, the blood-red glow in Jiang Chen's eyes disappeared, and his eyes slowly closed.

When Jiang Chen opened his eyes once more, his gaze had returned to clarity.

"Good! Good! Good lad! To have actually withstood Blood Demon Heart Devouring and even taken half a step forward! Well done! Truly worthy of being a male from the Jiang Family, truly worthy of being the current Family Head of the Jiang Family! Ha ha ha."

The giant exclaimed loudly, his eyes filled with comforting delight as he looked at Jiang Chen.

At that moment, a wave of trepidation surged through Jiang Chen's heart.

Just a moment ago, he felt as if he were about to fall into an abyss, becoming an emotionless killing machine.

But just at the crucial moment, a dragon's roar appeared, pulling him back from the brink of corruption!

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Jiang Chen looked up at the giant in the sky.
