[187] Kin

Boom! The blood spear instantly collided with the first shield, shattering it on the spot. Punching through the red mist, the spear struck the second shield, piercing it in the blink of an eye. Rumble! The shields Yu Xian had erected were completely helpless before the blood spear, unable to slow it down in the slightest. "I don't believe this!" Seeing this, Yu Xian immediately raised his hand. A colossal energy sphere formed in an instant, the space within its core rapidly turning chaotic. Spatial attacks dealt fixed damage. In fact, it was just like water pressure in the deep sea: its lethality depended on the magnitude of the pressure, not the strength of the user. Back when fighting the Xingtian zombie king, Yu Xian had been able to inflict higher damage than Yu Lie, Xiao Cheng, and Hua Qiang precisely because his attacks were spatial attacks. "Go!" Fixing his gaze on the blood spear, Yu Xian violently swung his arm, hurling the super-massive energy sphere—nearly ten meters in diameter—straight from his hands. Below, the blood spear continued puncturing bubble shield after bubble shield when the massive energy sphere abruptly slammed into it. The spear tore right through the sphere's thick outer energy layers, reaching the core in an instant. But the moment the spear pierced the core, far away in Luzon, Edward's expression suddenly shifted. His eyes locked onto the direction where the blood spear had disappeared. His attack had actually been stopped. At the center of the energy sphere. The originally rock-solid blood spear instantly grew incomparably turbulent within the core. As mentioned before, the vaster the energy, the purer it had to be; inside such chaotic space, the blood spear was clearly incapable of maintaining its own purity. And the result was... Crack. Fissures ran across the blood spear, and a colossal surge of energy erupted in an instant. "Not good!" The moment the blood spear cracked, Yu Xian was the first to sense the danger. He flashed into outer space immediately, followed by the sight of a scarlet blast of energy detonating. Half of Earth's sky was stained red. The terrifying energy blasted through cloud decks, tore through the atmosphere, and even swept away heaps of orbital debris in space. Now it wasn't just a cloudless expanse stretching for ten thousand li—across half the planet, not a single cloud remained in the sky, completely swept away by the shockwave of the exploding blood spear. "Terrifying. But... that's all it amounts to." Yu Xian's face was bathed in a ruddy glow by the crimson light. Looking down at the colossal crater the blood spear had blasted into the earth, he muttered to himself. Now he understood the gap between himself and Edward. What came next was working hard to grow stronger; the next time they clashed would be Edward's date with death. Luzon. Edward stared darkly at the glittering red glow in the distance, his face sullen. He knew full well that his attack hadn't hit its mark. Although the other party was not as powerful as he was, the encounter gave him a very bad premonition. The other party being weaker now didn't mean they would remain weaker in the future. Moreover, that opponent was far more agile than he was. No. He absolutely could not sit around and wait for death. Looking around at his surroundings, Edward knew he had to accelerate his conquest of Earth. He could no longer afford to take his time like this. Only by turning more ordinary humans into vampires as quickly as possible could he become even more powerful and prepare for that unknown foe. ... ... Huaxia grotto-heaven. By the time Yu Xian returned home, it was already approaching dusk. He hesitated for a moment before deciding to rest for the night and resume his work tomorrow. In any case, Edward's every move was right under his nose; nothing unexpected could happen. Thousands of meters high above Edward's head, swarms of ultra-tiny eyeball bubbles monitored his every move. These eyeball bubbles were formed entirely of Primordial Pure Blood and concealed by True Crimson Power. The 'unreal' attribute of True Crimson Power incorporated part of the attributes of the giant serpent's Falsehood Divine Power. Therefore, some of the things Falsehood Divine Power could achieve, True Crimson Power could accomplish as well—for instance, the Mantle of Falsehood; using True Crimson Power, one could likewise form a Mantle of True Crimson. The layer of True Crimson Power coating the eyeball bubbles at present was essentially a Mantle of True Crimson. With Yu Xian deliberately cloaking them, Edward had no hope of noticing their presence unless he came extremely close. "Wanwan, go make dinner," Yu Xian commanded Wanwan, who was sweeping down below, as he sat on the balcony sofa. Wanwan, who had been sweeping in the garden, bowed slightly. After acknowledging the order with a soft affirmative, she returned inside to prepare dinner. Although Wanwan was an assassin, she was genuinely multitalented in order to cover her identity, making her more than qualified to serve as a maid. "Fish God!" "Fish God, look over here!" "White hair, red eyes—aaahhh!" "Fish God, I love you! Aaahhh..." Not long after Yu Xian sat down on the balcony to rest, a wave of screams echoed from beyond the perimeter wall. Because he had shown himself, fans keeping watch nearby swarmed over at the commotion, snapping photos and shrieking at the top of their lungs. "Don't you have school?" Seeing several girls dressed like students, Yu Xian flashed onto the wall, squatting as he looked down at the crowd. This action undoubtedly sent the crowd into even greater frenzy. Several girls were incoherent with excitement, and it took Yu Xian quite a while to figure out what was going on. Classes really were suspended right now. School wouldn't resume for another few days. When it did, all students would take extraordinary-related courses, complete physical constitution evaluations, and more. A girl asked, blushing, "Fish God, what happened to your hair?" "To grow stronger, I had to pay a bit of a price," Yu Xian said helplessly, stroking his silver hair. At that moment, countless onlookers silently cried out inside: *I want to pay that price too!* Besides, Yu Xian's so-called price hadn't made him uglier—if anything, he had become even more handsome. "Fish God, is the Blood Clan's Progenitor really that terrifying?" an excited boy asked. Yu Xian looked at him and smiled. "Edward is indeed very strong. But don't worry, we'll take care of him soon. We definitely won't let him run wild for much longer." "Fish God, can you give me the Embrace? I want to become your kin!" an excited girl pleaded. Yu Xian shook his head. "I can't. I don't plan on expanding my kin much for now, and that's something I still need to discuss with leadership." He was indeed qualified now to give others the Embrace and create new 'Shiny Vampires.' As a True Ancestor, the more kin he possessed, the stronger he would become. Essentially, aside from the Star Divine Artifact, he possessed every ability Edward had. For example, Edward's ability to drain the blood of his kin dry—Yu Xian possessed it too, and his version was even more potent and efficient than Edward's. It was just that he was not Edward. He held lines he wouldn't cross. Even if he possessed certain abilities, he would never use them, because doing so was simply too wicked. After that, he chatted with the fans and journalists for a dozen or so minutes. Seeing that it was almost time and Aunt Su Zhuo would soon be off work, he flashed away. He teleported to Tianjing City, brought Su Zhuo home, and after having dinner together, washed up and went to bed. Even without sleep, he would be full of energy, but a good night's rest made him feel all the more refreshed the next day. Besides, sleeping was comfortable, so why not sleep? Early the next morning, after finishing breakfast with Su Zhuo, he first escorted her to Tianjing City before teleporting to the Qilin headquarters in Yanjing. "Fish God!" "Aaahhh, my idol!" "Fish God, an autograph, please!!!" The next second, the busy personnel caught sight of Yu Xian, stopped in their tracks, and swarmed over in unison. Yu Xian hadn't expected the staff at Qilin headquarters to be even more fanatical than his fans outside. Startled, he hurriedly teleported into Yu Lie's office, but it was empty, leaving him no choice but to pull out his phone and call Yu Lie. "Little Yu?" Yu Lie picked up quickly. Upon learning that Yu Xian was right in his office, he told Yu Xian to head to Room 204 on the second floor. Hanging up, Yu Xian had no choice but to slip furtively out of the office and hurry over to Room 204.
