Chapter 1149 - The Immortal Body

After seeing the appearance of the golden orbs, High Priest Poer was instantly astonished. It turned out that the golden orb was actually a bat that was shrouded in golden light. At the thought of the vampire that had disappeared from the battlefield, he knew that the identity of this golden bat was naturally self-evident.

But what exactly does that vampire want, running to the neck of the Ice Phoenix!? High Priest Poer couldn’t imagine it at all, and he wondered if the vampire was sucking the blood of the Ice Phoenix. No way, is that vampire not afraid that he might collapse from an excessive consumption of blood? Besides, that Ice Phoenix’s blood must contain ice origin power, and a single drop of it can freeze an ocean. That vampire must be tired of living to actually dare to suck the blood of the Ice Phoenix!

Indeed, vampires had to be selective about the blood they sucked as the blood from creatures like the Ice Phoenix contained extreme power which would be akin to poison for the vampires. In particular, the Ice Phoenix’s blood contained the power of ice, and vampires were cold-blooded creatures. Hence, their blood would be frozen as soon as they sucked in such power, even if they might otherwise be able to withstand it.

However, High Priest Poer probably would have never expected Norfeller to be an extraordinary vampire. The main power in Norfeller’s blood was the blood essence of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera, which was the strongest of all Iceblast Wyrms. The power of ice in its blood was not any worse than the Ice Phoenix’s.

In fact, if Norfeller could completely absorb the blood essence of the Iceblast Wyrm in Sanctuary-realm, the power would be enough for him to reach the Sanctuary-realm. However, to completely absorb the blood essence of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera was difficult for Norfeller, even if Lin Li gave him some potions. He could only absorb it bit by bit over a long period of time. Perhaps he would be able to absorb it fully only after hundreds or thousands of years.

At this moment, Norfeller met the Ice Phoenix, and it was very different compared to the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera’s power.

The phoenixes had power as their origin, and the Ice Phoenix’s laws of ice were actually not simply a derivative of the laws of water, but a type of laws that rejected the power of fire. If the origin of fire was at an extremely high temperature, the ice origin of the Ice Phoenix was at an extremely low temperature that rejected the power of fire.

The power of the Iceblast Wyrm had laws that used the element of ice, while the Ice Phoenix rejected all fire elements. Hence, for Norfeller, the power of the Ice Phoenix complemented the power of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera.

Connoris and Uljfalusi’s attacks were actually meant for creating an opportunity for Norfeller to get close to the Ice Phoenix’s body, and suck the Ice Phoenix’s blood.

In the beginning, when High Priest Poer saw Norfeller of the Tower of Dusk sucking the blood of the Ice Phoenix, he thought that Norfeller had a death wish, but he soon discovered that the power emanating from the vampire’s body was actually growing at a terrifying rate, while the golden glow of its body began to emit countless silver magic runes.

Damn it, can he really suck the blood of the Ice Phoenix!? If this vampire can really absorb the blood of the Ice Phoenix, God knows what kind of monster it will grow into. The strength of the Tower of Dusk will then be greatly increased again!

High Priest Poer suddenly had an idea, and he suddenly turned the staff in his hand. All the magic he had cast was focused on the Ice Phoenix’s neck. In any case, he was only attacking the Ice Phoenix. If it affected the vampire, the vampire would have to count himself unlucky!

However, Lin Li had been thinking about how to improve the strength of a few of his subordinates. At this moment, he was finally given a godsend opportunity, so how could he sit back and watch others ruin things? After High Priest Poer cast his magic, Lin Li similarly waved the Helios’ Scepter, and a massive Light and Darkness Sword emerged, stabbing into High Priest Poer’s magic spells. Next, with a gentle twist, the Light and Darkness Sword vanished.

“Felic, what are you doing? Why are you blocking my attack? Are you on the same side as that Ice Phoenix!?” High Priest Poer hollered furiously, angered that his plans were foiled.

However, Lin Li smiled, and nonchalantly said, “High Priest Poer, must I spell some things out loud?”

At this moment, Edmund and Zumar had also discovered the abnormality on the Ice Phoenix. They also saw that the golden bat was becoming brighter and brighter on the Ice Phoenix’s neck, and thus they could naturally guess what High Priest Poer was doing. However, there was nothing they could say in this situation, since High Priest Poer was a member of their team.

“President Felic, I believe he just didn’t notice for a moment. This is a misunderstanding, please consider things from a bigger perspective,” Elder Zumar explained loudly to Lin Li while casting magic.

Calling it a misunderstanding was really a universal explanation; everything could be explained by calling it a misunderstanding. However, Lin Li now also had no intention to fall out with the Gilded Kingdom. As long as High Priest Poer stopped getting up to some tricks, Lin Li wouldn’t bother too much. After all, they were all now facing an Ice Phoenix that was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm.

High Priest Poer, whose plans had failed, did not dare to harbor those thoughts again after Saint Edmund shot him a menacing gaze. After all, High Priest Poer could not compare to Saint Edmund in terms of power, status, and aptitude.

Of course, Edmund was not blaming High Priest Poer for those tricks, but rather for failing and getting caught. If High Priest Poer was not so eager to make a move, they could have easily killed off Norfeller with the power of the three powerhouses. At that time, they would even have every right to justify themselves as they could blame it on Norfeller for going to the neck of the Ice Phoenix.

However, the failure of High Priest Poer revealed their agenda, and Edmund and the others had to keep their guard up during the battle. Otherwise, if they were careless, the Tower of Dusk would get a hold on them. Now, they could only hope that Norfeller would collapse under the power of the Ice Phoenix. Otherwise, they would be in trouble.

Unfortunately, as the battle progressed, the several Sanctuary powerhouses could obviously sense that the power of the Ice Phoenix was rapidly declining. Although they were besieging it, the fact that Norfeller was sucking the neck of the Ice Phoenix was probably an important reason.

Finally, the golden bat on the neck of the Ice Phoenix emitted a dazzling ray of light that was as bright as the sun. The light enveloped almost the entire upper body of the Ice Phoenix. After the light faded, everyone saw that Norfeller, who was on the neck of the Ice Phoenix, had already returned to human form, but he was still holding the neck of the Ice Phoenix and drinking the fresh blood.

At the same time, the several Sanctuary powerhouses could sense the increase in the mana fluctuations that Norfeller’s body emitted when he was absorbing the blood of the Ice Phoenix. He was charging towards the Sanctuary-realm without stopping.

When the mana fluctuation reached a limit, they saw a pair of wings expanding and turning silver on Norfeller’s back. There were golden patterns that constituted arcane ancient magic runes, each of which exuded a mysterious and powerful aura, on them. It was just like with the ancient beasts.

Immediately afterwards, the mana fluctuations increased again, and a bright red color began to appear in the space around Norfeller too. The bright sanguine color continuously became denser while expanding outwards. Soon, the entire space seemed to have been submerged in a sea of blood.

Finally, Norfeller suddenly let go of the Ice Phoenix’s neck, and let out a whistle that made heaven and earth quake. At this moment, he finally stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, and turned his domain into a world of fresh blood. The boundless ocean of blood that was full of death aura, and also vitality, was surging in the Domain World.

“Sanctuary-realm, a vampire of the Sanctuary-realm!” The crowd of the Gilded Kingdom was a little dumbfounded. In Anril, no vampire had ever reached the Sanctuary-realm. In fact, for creatures like vampires, stepping into the Legendary-realm was already considered rare, and no vampires had reached the Sanctuary-realm even in myths.

Norfeller might be the first vampire in Anril to reach the Sanctuary-realm. It was unprecedented, and probably would never occur again. After all, not every vampire could be as lucky as Norfeller to have absorbed the blood of Iceblast Wyrm Sindera and Ice Phoenix.

Besides, it was not just a matter of luck. Without Lin Li, the pharmaceutics Guru who used pharmaceutics to blend the blood of the Iceblast Wyrm into his blood, one drop of it would be enough to make any vampire dead. Besides, without the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera’s blood as the foundation, it would be impossible to absorb the Ice Phoenix’s blood.

However, at this time, the Ice Phoenix also reacted. It was no wonder that it was getting weaker and weaker—its blood was being sucked by a filthy creature. Seeing that Norfeller actually dared to advance to another realm in front of it, the Ice Phoenix was so furious that it grabbed Norfeller with its claws.

Although the Ice Phoenix was a little weakened, it was a powerful existence that was close to the level of the gods, after all. Even a high-ranking Sanctuary powerhouse would not dare to resist it. Besides, Norfeller was a vampire that had just stepped into the Sanctuary-realm. At this moment, Norfeller was immersed in his comprehension of the Sanctuary-realm while the mana in his body was continuously increasing. He couldn’t dodge the giant claws of the Ice Phoenix at all.

Seeing this situation, the people on the Gilded Kingdom’s side were overjoyed. In particular, High Priest Poer seemed to have already seen the young president of the Tower of Dusk getting all furious and dejected after Norfeller got killed by the Ice Phoenix.

The people on Lin Li’s side were indeed astonished, and they immediately got ready to save Norfeller. After all, this was the first subordinate of Lin Li to reach the Sanctuary-realm and one of the first few to become his servant. Regardless of the perspective, he could not watch Norfeller die. However, as soon as he raised the Helios’ Scepter, he lowered it again slowly, as if he had given up.

Almost at the same time that Lin Li put down his scepter, the Ice Phoenix’s huge claws had already grabbed Norfeller’s body. A single blow was all it would take to tear Norfeller apart. Was a powerhouse who had just reached the Sanctuary-realm going to die before he could display the mighty power of the Sanctuary-realm?

“President Felic, it’s such a pity, you could have had one more Sanctuary-realm powerhouse as your subordinate. I didn’t expect this to happen,” High Priest Poer said gloatingly.

However, as soon as High Priest Poer said that, he saw that the Ice Phoenix had once again changed. Norfeller, who had already been grabbed and torn apart by the Ice Phoenix, merged into the sea of blood in the Domain World in the blink of an eye. At a spot far away from the Ice Phoenix, a bloodied man emerged from the sea of blood, and his sanguine color quickly faded, revealing his original face. It was Norfeller who everyone thought had been killed by the Ice Phoenix.

Seeing this scene, High Priest Poer’s face suddenly turned burning hot, and it was as if he had been given a hard slap on his face.

On the other hand, Lin Li who had been a bit nervous, smiled. It turned out that just as he was about to rescue Norfeller, he received a message from Norfeller via soul contact—the latter told him not to worry.

The Domain World of fresh blood created by Norfeller, who had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, might not have a very powerful defense or offense, but it possessed almost infinite vitality. In the world of fresh blood, he could be considered to have an immortal body. As long as the world of blood did not dry up, he would be able to revive and be reborn.

Besides, the blood essences of the Iceblast Wyrm and Ice Phoenix in Norfeller’s body clashed during the fusion. The two powerful streams of energy were not something that Norfeller could easily control. His strength might even plummet because of their conflict.

However, with the death this time, Norfeller fused the two streams of power into the world of fresh blood. Not only did it resolve the problem in his body, it also strengthened the world of fresh blood, and made it even more perfect. Besides, the world of fresh blood was likewise his power source, and the two powers could also continue to enhance his abilities.
