Chapter 141: Chapter 142: The Desperate Blood Infant and the Descent of the Demon God
Once again, the Blood Infant leapt into the air, its movements sharp and precise. This time, during its battle with Lin Ye, the creature suddenly opened its grotesque, fanged mouth and spat a large mouthful of blood directly at him.
In that instant, the Blood Infant's second spirit ring began to glow.
Second Spirit Ability: Blood Explosion Technique!
With a deafening "Boom!", the blood expelled by the Blood Infant detonated mid-air. The explosion generated a powerful shockwave of spirit energy, churning the air into violent gusts that rippled outward in all directions.
But the Blood Explosion Technique wasn't merely about destruction. Beyond the raw force of the explosion, it also unleashed a thick, pervasive blood mist.
This blood mist suppressed the senses of all beings except the Blood Infant itself!
The sheer force of the explosion sent Lin Ye hurtling through the air, crashing down to the ground below. As the blood mist engulfed the battlefield, Lin Ye's vision was obscured, and his perception dulled under its oppressive influence.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the Blood Infant landed amidst the turbulence caused by its own technique. With agile leaps, it maneuvered behind Lin Ye and sprang into the air once more.
In a flash, it transformed into a streak of blood-red light, aiming directly for Lin Ye's back. Its razor-sharp claws extended, targeting his heart with deadly precision.
Just as the claws tore through Lin Ye's clothing, the Blood Infant's twisted face contorted into a menacing grin. Victory seemed assured. But in the next moment, its expression froze in shock.
"What is this?!"
The Blood Infant had expected its claws to pierce flesh effortlessly, tearing through Lin Ye's heart in an instant. Yet, to its astonishment, something unnervingly resilient stopped the attack.
No matter how much force it exerted, its claws couldn't penetrate further. Even the impact that sent Lin Ye flying hadn't breached the mysterious layer beneath his clothes.
"Argh!!"
Frustrated and enraged, the Blood Infant's face twisted with malice. It grabbed at Lin Ye's garment, tearing away a section of fabric.
What it saw beneath stunned it. Lin Ye was wearing an inner armor woven from a black, metallic thread.
This wasn't ordinary material. Even with spirit-enhanced claws, the Blood Infant had failed to pierce it. Clearly, this armor was extraordinary!
"Damn it! The Spirit Hall is as obscenely rich as ever!"
The Blood Infant seethed inwardly, clutching the torn fabric. With a furious kick to Lin Ye's back, it tried once more to damage the armor and create some distance.
However, even its full-strength kick failed to leave a mark on the inner armor. Frustrated, the Blood Infant retreated swiftly, landing on the ground in a blur of motion.
Meanwhile, Lin Ye, though sent flying, managed to twist mid-air and land gracefully. He reached back to touch the torn section of his clothing, his fingers brushing against the densely woven material beneath.
It was none other than an inner armor simulated by his symbiotic battle suit, crafted using a unique metal he had discovered in the Spirit Hall's treasure vault.
The metal, resembling golden beads encased in crystalline minerals, could morph its shape when infused with true energy. After absorbing it into his symbiotic suit, Lin Ye had taken the time to create this inner armor before arriving at Guhe Town. And now, it had saved his life.
If not for this armor, the Blood Infant's sneak attack might have crushed his heart. Even with the powerful healing capabilities of his Nine Spirit Immortal Soul, recovery would have been uncertain.
"You brat! A dignified spirit master, resorting to wearing inner armor? How shameless can you get?!"
The Blood Infant snarled in fury, baring its fangs at Lin Ye.
"And you, a Spirit King, bullying someone weaker than you—is that not shameless?" Lin Ye retorted with a cold smile.
"Shameless? I'm an Evil Spirit Master! You think I care about honor?"
The Blood Infant sneered disdainfully.
"Oh, so you're aware you're an Evil Spirit Master? In that case, as a member of the Spirit Hall, dealing with the likes of you doesn't require any rules."
Lin Ye's mocking tone deepened the Blood Infant's fury.
"You…!"
The Blood Infant's face twisted in rage, recalling how two Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall had once ganged up on him, a mere Spirit Douluo, under the same pretext. The memory of their hypocrisy burned like a fresh wound.
"Damn the Spirit Hall and its sanctimonious hypocrites! All of you deserve to die!"
Having exhausted several trump cards to no avail, the Blood Infant realized time was running out. With the Spirit Hall reinforcements likely closing in, it decided to use its ultimate ability.
"Fifth Spirit Ability: Descent of the Demon God!"
The fifth black spirit ring surrounding the Blood Infant flared to life, unleashing a terrifying surge of spirit energy. The Blood Infant's aura skyrocketed as its body began to radiate an overwhelming, demonic presence.
The Descent of the Demon God ability granted a 200% enhancement to all physical attributes for thirty minutes.
However, such immense power came with a cost. If the user lacked sufficient blood reserves, their physical attributes would plummet by 50% once the ability's duration ended.
Originally, the Blood Infant had planned to reserve this technique for breaking through the Spirit Hall's blockade. But now, with no other choice, it activated the ability to eliminate Lin Ye swiftly.
It needed to finish the fight and escape before the technique's effects wore off. Otherwise, with its blood supply already depleted, the inevitable backlash would seal its fate.
