Chapter 1233 First Level Of Blood Assimilation (Part 1)

"It's difficult because you are trying to climb the stairs the wrong way."

Evan was startled when a voice suddenly sounded from behind him, and he immediately turned around.

However, upon looking back, all he saw were the empty stairs; there was no one else in sight. He even extended his spiritual senses to scan the surroundings but found nothing.

"Who?" He shouted, his eyes scanning the area with a vigilant expression.

"You will know who I am once you reach the top. For now, you only need to understand that your method of climbing the bloodline inheritance steps is flawed," The same voice echoed, seeming to come from every direction, making it impossible for Evan to determine the speaker's location.

"Bloodline Inheritance Steps... and I need to reach the top..." Evan frowned at the words, feeling an odd sense of familiarity. For some reason, he felt he had heard this voice before.

'Wait a second... This... Isn't this voice similar to that of the black figure I saw in my dream when I was in the Tomb of the Ancient?" He thought, his eyes narrowing.

A rush of thoughts flooded his mind, but he quickly regained his composure.

'It is not the time to confront him. If I do something he doesn't like, he might control these thousands of steps and launch a powerful attack at me.'

Evan decided to hold back on questioning the voice's identity, realizing the risk involved. Although he was eager to confront the black figure and get all the answers, he knew this wasn't the right place.

If the black figure could somehow control the steps and unleash multiple soul fragments at once, he would be in grave danger.

"What do you mean I am climbing the steps the wrong way? Can you explain?" He asked after careful consideration.

"The bloodline inheritance steps are not only an opportunity to awaken your bloodline, but also a rare treasure for tempering your soul," The black figure's voice replied. "Others might struggle to ascend even the first thousand steps, but you... You have an innate advantage while you climb it. You are struggling because you are not using that advantage."

"Innate advantage?" Evan's eyes widened in surprise. "What do you mean by that?"

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The instant his foot touched the stair, a powerful soul fragment struck his soul. The Primordial Shadow Energy enveloping his soul was destroyed in the clash, but it had successfully weakened the soul fragment's attack to a manageable level, and the residual force was no longer strong enough to harm him.

Evan's eyes gleamed with excitement when he noticed this and he quickly used his overwhelming spiritual power to annihilate the soul fragment before it could launch another strike.

"Damn, this trick really worked. I feel like an idiot for not using it earlier and putting up with those painful attacks," He muttered, shaking his head before pressing onward.

One thousand five hundred steps!

One thousand eight hundred steps!

One thousand nine hundred ninety-nine steps!

Finally, after an hour of using the Primordial Shadow Energy, Evan stepped onto the two thousandth step.

A red beam of light shot out from the previous step and entered Evan's body.

(You have successfully absorbed a small portion of the blood of the Ygrai Race.)

---) Current Awakening Level of Your Doom Bringer Bloodline: 9.64%

"I thought the awakening level would increase by five percent every thousand steps, but it seems the increase depends on the power of the bloodline I absorb from each step. The stronger the bloodline, the higher the awakening level rises," Evan murmured thoughtfully, observing the step below as it began to glow with a milky-white light.

"At least, I can still restore my spiritual power and refine my soul with each thousandth step."

Evan waited a few moments until the milky-white light from the two thousandth step fully dissipated, and his spiritual power had returned to its peak.

"Let's continue..." Taking another step forward, Evan resumed his climb.

With the assistance of Primordial Shadow Energy and the soul refinement from each thousandth step, he managed to ascend over nine thousand steps in just ten hours, drawing ever closer to the ten thousandth step and initiating the first level of Blood Assimilation.
