Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Beyond Expectations

Blood stained Eren's lips as he sank his teeth into Li Yunfeng's heart. With each bite, he felt like his body was changing.

His body was absorbing something from the heart that was consumed by him. What his body absorbed wasn't merely the heart but the life essence of Li Yunfeng.

Eren swallowed the bite, feeling a strange chill spread throughout his body. His eyes glowed a frosty blue for an instant before reverting to their usual hue.

The taste was somewhat metallic, bitter, yet oddly addicting. He soon consumed the heart in its entirety, leaving only the blood stains in his hand.

For a brief moment, he felt cold when he consumed the heart. However, after that there was no such thing. If anything, he felt as if his surroundings had grown warmer.

He was walking on the frosty hallway of the frozen palace, but even then, he couldn't feel the slightest bit of cold. It was akin to his body being accustomed to bear the cold for some reason.

"Cleanse."

He used the Dragon Tongue, cleaning his body of all the blood stains. His hands and lips that were stained with blood until a few moments ago became cleaner as if they had never touched any blood at all.

"Identify..."

Next, he used Identification on himself to see how his body had changed. He wasn't even sure if there was anything worth stealing from Li Yunfeng.

From what he had known, Devourer could only steal the heroic bloodlines from the ones he devoured. People in the Eastern Continent didn't have the bloodlines so he wasn't sure if he even received anything worth his effort.

The only change he was certain about was that his level had increased when he killed Li Yunfeng.

Soon, the status screen opened before him and he started paying attention.

****************************

[Name: Eren (Ren Necroline)]

[Level: 25]

[Identity: Elder at the Great Demon Sect, Spy of Mythical Hero Academy, Owner of Devourer Bloodline, Heir of the Necromancer Tower, Ruler of Spirit Realm]

[Bloodline: Unknown, Devourer, Royal Sea Dragon, Sea Serpentine]

[Guardian: First Spirit Queen Yelen]

[Age: 21]

[Traits: Calm]

[Stats]

He was quite intrigued by his stats. Even with sealed cultivation, his growth was quite fast.

As per his system's interpretation, Xiu Ying was equivalent to a level fifty player. Which means she had crossed the fifth wall.

Meanwhile, he had only crossed the second wall. One more wall and he could be comparable to her. It meant when he was Level 31, just based on his stats alone, he could face a Level 50 person like Xiu Ying?

If he was to add his artifacts in the mix, he could be even more confident.

'At that rate, what if I reach Level 50?' He wondered, his expressions looking somewhat uncertain.

There was one more thing he was looking forward to. It was the Pendant of Prediction.

He had completed the option, but he hadn't received the reward yet. Just like the Pendant of Poison, this reward was also a little slower to arrive.

After a while, he sighed as he controlled his excitement. For now, he had other things to focus on.

Eren left the Palace of the Frost Demon. Not even the guards of Li Yunfeng knew that he had been killed already. They were protecting the palace, unaware that they had already failed.

Not only did Eren enter, but he left with just as much stealth as ever, all thanks to the Dragon Tongue.

Eren soon reached his next destination, which was the courtyard of the Main Character.

As Li Yunfeng favored Ye Liang, he gave him a courtyard in a separate area of the mountain where no one could disturb his most precious disciple's training.

He also assigned a few guards along the way to keep his disciples safe.

Strangely enough, none of those guards could be seen anywhere at the moment.

There were places where it looked like the snow was dug up and something big buried in that place.

Only one pair of footsteps could be seen walking away from that place in the direction of Ye Liang's courtyard.

Eren gazed at the courtyard, which again made him realize how poor he was as a master.

The courtyard where Ye Liang lived looked extremely luxurious, and more importantly Ye Liang didn't have to make it himself.

"My dear system, I'm about to finish the lore of the main character. It is a significant point in the history of the Eastern Continent. Isn't it about time you have some nice options with rewards?"

For a moment, he waited outside the courtyard, waiting for the options to appear. Strangely enough, no options appeared.

In the end, he gave up on trying to get rewards for something he was about to do in any case. He stepped forward and entered the courtyard.

The moment his foot first landed in Ye Liang's courtyard, a red screen appeared in front of him.

"See? You can be quite good when you want to be." Seeing the screen, Eren's lips crept up.
