"He succeeded, he really reached the last level!"
"I wonder if it’s because of the mechanism of the Blood Ladder. Challenging all the way up, being admired by the gods, what a bountiful reward it must be!"
"In the end, it’s actually a human inheriting the throne."
"Don’t forget, he joined the Morgan family. As long as he completes the transformation ceremony, he counts as a member of the Morgan family."
The Alien Race fell silent for a moment, and then a cacophony exploded. At this point, they couldn’t help but become anxious for Chu Yi. What reward awaited after climbing the Thousand-Layered Blood Ladder!? And if not for the gods’ permission, how could Chu Yi, a mere human, ascend the Blood Ladder and stand upon the throne?
"Blood food! When you come out, I’ll devour you whole!"
Nus Wolf King’s face was sullen. If previously it was for avenging his offspring, at this moment, there was a faint fear of this human’s potential. This human had climbed a thousand levels of the Blood Ladder, defeating each Guardian along the way without even breaking a sweat.
If left to grow, he would eventually be a hidden threat.
"Sister, Big Brother is amazing! I’m starting to like him a little," Avril clung to Lias’s lotus-like arms, her delicate face showing admiration as she spoke with innocent purity.
Lias was helpless. Her azure eyes suddenly paused as she thought that the throne above the Blood Ladder had been prepared for Avril.
But Avril had stayed by my side the whole time. Is she intentionally yielding it to Chu Yi?
「At the top of the stairway.」
The ancient, ominous palace, filled with supreme majesty, was towering and magnificent. Overwhelming pressure swept over.
Before it, Chu Yi was like an ant facing a towering mountain; any minute change could be a disaster.
In this palace, ancient, illusory, and ethereal figures loomed. Darkness was like a tide, and whispers, dense and insidious, harbored chilling malice, watching from the shadows.
A gnawing sound eerily echoed. Amidst the thick blood mist, the massive skull of a Bone Dragon occasionally flashed, devouring countless limbs and blood.
Ascending to the throne, fusing bloodlines, ruling a region... is this one of the power systems of the Dark World? I don’t quite understand, Chu Yi was curious.
His slender figure, under this pressure, stood like an unyielding pillar, unmoving and towering.
At this moment, after a fierce battle, he was also stained with blood. Yet his momentum was relentless, his sharpness conspicuous.
Ignoring the gazes from all directions, he cast a Rune of Flash Secret over himself. Wrapped in a thick fog, he lifted his leg and stepped forward, entering the thousandth level under everyone’s anticipation.
This level, however, was silent.
There was only the towering Blood Throne in front, quietly suspended in mid-air. It was enveloped in an ominous aura, like a dormant ferocious beast lying silently.
But what met Chu Yi’s eyes was a boundless view of Demons residing on the Blood Ladder—the wills of the gods present.
Their figures twisted, beyond comprehension, presenting a bizarre display of floating bubbles, swirling colors, and lurking shadows.
With such a prime ingredient delivered to their doorstep, these divine wills couldn’t contain their hunger. Their eager whispers overflowed.
The Human King Body, restored by the Blood Ladder, made him all the more delicious. These fallen divine remnants, trapped within the Blood Ladder, all saw a glimpse of an opportunity to rise again.
"You want to eat me?" Chu Yi’s expression was grave as he stepped towards the throne. He stopped less than a step away, silently pondering. Suddenly, a smile appeared, his eyes filled with greed.
It’s not certain who will be eating whom. Try to eat me? You’ll get backstabbed!
The Rune of Flash Secret activated to its extreme, intertwining with the mimicked gray fog. It then mingled with the blood mist pervading the palace, forming a heaven-shrouding fog that enveloped his figure, making him disappear from all sight and shielding him from external spying.
He gripped the Demon Halberd, and scorching Human King’s Blood infused it. Deep red Curse Seals appeared on the Demon Halberd, winding like dragons, binding it like chains.
With a mighty swing, Chu Yi dragged out a shocking arc of blood-red light, as bright as lightning, which he then plunged into the ground beneath him.
He turned and sat upon the throne, which began to awaken. Countless fallen gods’ wills, who could no longer restrain themselves, pounced forward.
Chu Yi stood unyielding, his expression calm. Only his skin writhed as blood-colored Curse Seals crawled over it.
"Eat..." An incomprehensible ancient language, mixed with countless mind-shattering fragments of information. Fresh chapters posted on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
The first deity was a voluptuous Demoness, her delicate head splitting open down the middle like a blooming flower, revealing a proboscis.
In the next moment, she was crushed by a massive skeletal claw as a gigantic Bone Dragon emerged. Its head alone was as large as an island, its mouth opening wide to bite.
The momentum was overwhelming, tearing through the mist.
Though they were just residual wills after the fall of the gods, they still possessed the power to move mountains and overturn seas.
"I am the Human King!" Chu Yi snorted coldly. Using the Curse Seal, he instantly seized control of the throne. With just a thought, the gaping maw of the Bone Dragon exploded into pale azure light before it could close, transforming into a shimmering rain of colorful light, which was then drawn by a twisting force into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
In Ten Thousand Souls Ridge, the Flower of Desire almost wept. This wretched owner finally stopped using me as a meat shield and remembered to feed me!
Nine Infants had an exquisite little face and wore a serious expression. The hem of her gown brushed by as she planted these shattered wills on the Netherworld, occasionally sneaking a bite and delighting in it.
"Heh heh heh, didn’t expect this, did you?" Chu Yi turned his head, staring at the strange and bizarre gods, his gaze sharp and calculating, and smirked coldly.
To challenge the Thousand-Layered Blood Ladder: with each victory on a layer, he used the Curse Seal to erode it, seizing control of that layer’s authority.
After a thousand layers, his level of authority over the Blood Ladder was far higher than that of these residual divine wills. Using the Blood Ladder, although he couldn’t outright kill them, he could shatter them and gather them into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
It was also thanks to the Divine Hand stealing the origin essence of the Furnace of Life, which caused a sequence resonance. This granted him a chance to challenge the Blood Ladder, triggering its ancient mechanisms.
This was all an arrangement of destiny, unfolding in the unseen.
To him, what others saw as a catastrophic threat was clearly a reserve of food for his Deceit Beast!
What they had once considered prey had, in a turn of events, become the Hunter ready to consume them. The divine wills could no longer remain unperturbed.
Some wills dispersed, while others stubbornly attempted to consume the "prey."
But Chu Yi gave them no chance to escape. His entire body squirmed, swelling like a balloon as vast fleshly masses proliferated, transforming into a blazing sun. It was a sun of flesh and blood, comprised of a jumble of leftover limbs, eyeballs, tentacles, and sharp teeth, with fleshly flowers blooming and toothy tentacles flailing about.
On its outer rim, a dense layer of interwoven, blood-colored Curse Seals emanated a powerful, domineering, brutal, and fierce aura that gradually enveloped the entire scene.
Mimicry: Flesh and Blood Sun + Divine Eye + Flower of Desire + Flesh and Blood Willow Tree!
In that moment, the divine wills faltered once more. Even though in life they had been great, incomprehensible beings beyond common understanding, this was the first time they had witnessed such a bizarre creature. It left them profoundly shocked.
This amalgam of contradiction, oddity, and absurdity—an entity that should be impossible to exist in this world—truly broadened their horizons.
Utilizing his authority over the Blood Ladder, the Flesh and Blood Sun rolled over them like a war chariot. Its teeth ground and tore, devouring countless wills, which crunched crisply.
Some tasted like chicken, some like beef or berries, while others were not so tasty.
I’ll devour you all! Eat! Eat! Eat!
「At the pinnacle of the Blood Ladder, in the supreme palace.」
Covered by the gray mist, the crowd could only see brilliant colors flashing within the thick fog, their faces filled with shock.
"Oh my! Great Wolf Gods above, what a dazzling gift! And there’s more than one!"
"This—this is the reward of several deities? Why haven’t the gifts stopped!"
"Even from so far away, I can feel a Mighty Power descending! This human has caught the gods’ favor!"
The Alien Race went into a frenzy, the scene erupting suddenly.
In previous times, during inheritances like that of the Blood Ladder, it was extremely rare for such gifts to be jointly bestowed by the gods.
"How can this be possible?!" The Nus Wolf King was stunned. He could no longer maintain his composure, his ferocious face displaying disbelief. So many gods are blessing him? Just a mere human—why him?!
A killing intent brewed deep in his heart, growing ever more intense.
This child is terrifyingly formidable! He absolutely must not be allowed to live!
The White Tower was likewise filled with exclamations.
