Chapter 275 275: Pack Of Lions



If martial artists were slightly stronger humans in the eyes of immortal cultivators, then regular humans were nothing but ants in their eyes. They could not defend themselves in any situation and had extremely short life spans.

When an immortal cultivator learned a single spell, they would be unbelievably stronger than any regular human and thus could act almost like gods. So it was common for immortal cultivators to view regular humans as inferior beings.

Yet, even though Bright Shadow Darwin was in the Crystal Skull realm, he treated regular humans like equals. If he truly wanted to, he could become a god-like being for those people, but he chose not to.

His choice to not treat regular humans like ants was both respected and looked down upon in the Immortal Shadow Sect and made it so not many immortal cultivators wanted to hang out with him. But in this situation where he was going to represent the Immortal Shadow Sect against the Immortal Palace Sect, they all wanted to cheer him on.

"On the right corner for the Immortal Palace Sect is Blood Tattoo Gray!" The Announcer screamed at the top of his lungs, shifting everyone's attention to the other sibling.

If Bright Shadow Darwin represented the brother who chose to keep his humanity and cherish human lives, then Blood Tattoo Gray had no empathy for regular humans. 

Dressed in a thick loose black robe that covered every inch of his body, Gray shared similar facial features with his brother Darwin. His hair had been cut short and only reached his ears, while he had a long scar that cut across his nose, making him seem colder than his brother.

With his pitch-black eyes that lacked pupils and his emotionless face, the immortal cultivators from the Immortal Palace Sect knew his deeds clearly. As someone whose immortal cultivation talent was near the bottom of the Pure rank, Gray had done everything he could to increase his power.

Even though Yoze was unaware of Gray's reputation just from the information he had gathered from the Announcer and the fact that Gray had covered his body with a black robe, he could guess that the tattoos he had imprinted on his body had dark origins. There was a strong possibility that he could have slaughtered regular people to use their blood to create certain spells.

Noticing the subtle nervousness on Gray's face, Yoze knew that underneath the cold and emotionless exterior that he displayed, he wasn't as calm as he seemed. This nervousness didn't come from guilt from killing the innocent but simply from meeting his younger brother and facing him in battle.

"Brother, why don't you give up your dangerous pursuit of power using any means necessary? The path that you have chosen to use the innocent for power is following the path of ruin." Bright Shadow Darwin took a deep breath before calmly addressing his older brother.

"Darwin, you have no right to speak on this matter. Your talent has always been better than mine, and even though I have chosen to create my own path, you continue to closely follow behind."

"If I give up the path I have created for myself, I will ultimately be consumed by your shadow, and I hate being in second place. So enough talking, and let's fight to see who is truly better." As Blood Tattoo Gray spoke to his brother about their chosen path, he felt his nerves calm, and his last bit of love for his brother was crushed.

"I have already decided to do everything I can to become immortal. Even if that means becoming a demon in the eyes of all, it will mean nothing to me once I become immortal." Gray thought to himself as he quickly erased the doubt in his mind.

"Forget it; once I defeat you and take you back to visit our mother and father, you will acknowledge the errors of your ways. Let's fight!" Darwin felt his blood boil as he heard Gray talk about human lives like they were obstacles to his path.

Darwin swiftly clapped his hands together to prepare for a difficult battle while he waited for the Announcer to start the battle. With both sides thrilled to begin the battle as soon as possible, the Announcer grinned as he didn't plan to let their hopes down.

"The battle begins now!" Before the Announcer even finished his sentence, his body swiftly sank into the solid obsidian platform, but his voice remained undisturbed.

·ƈθm As soon as the battle began, Gray snapped his fingers, causing the black robe that covered his body to explode and rip into a thousand tiny pieces, revealing his body. Like Yoze and many of the immortal cultivators in the crowd predicted, Gray's upper body was a dense array of blood-red tattoos with ferocious beasts.

Even though the numerous tattoos formed a complex pattern on his skin, Gray didn't hesitate to activate the largest tattoo on his chest. In a split second, the blood tattooed into his skin seemed to have regained its ferocious nature as thousands of gallons of blood exploded out of the tattoo of a pack of lions.

Without having to do anything further, Gray watched as the thousands of gallons of blood quickly transformed into a pack of seven feet tall three-eyed lions. Each of the lions was realistic to the point that even Yoze couldn't tell if they were lions that Gray had created using blood or if they were real life he had sealed into his body.

"Thirty Lion Spring! Attack!"

When Gray heard the Announcer's voice screaming, he felt as if a huge dose of adrenaline had entered his bloodstream. Paired with the large boost in excitement, he felt his blood lust to kill his brother surge as he unleashed his more than thirty three-eyed lions at Darwin.

Seeing that Gray really was serious about wanting to kill him, Darwin's heart tightened as he felt his heart break slightly. Knowing that his brother wasn't in the right mind, he sighed and allowed the pack of lions to swarm him.
