Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

Chapter 193  The War God Bloodline Essence

Cough, cough...sorry about that. I was just thinking if you would want to make a deal with me?" He suddenly let out a smile that looked like those merchants who cheated people on the road.

"What?"

The man's proposal caught Arthur off guard. He had just cleared the Battle Tower, faced the unexpected revelation of meeting his clone and now this figure was suggesting a deal.

"What kind of deal are you suggesting, Senior?" Arthur inquired, his tone deliberately sounding measured and guarded.

The armored figure leaned in slightly, an air of secrecy surrounding him. "I have been waiting for someone, someone with the potential to reach this far. I need your help to fulfill a certain goal of mine..."

As the mysterious armored figure proposed a deal, Arthur with a profound expression on his face.

"Young Arthur, the faction I once led, the War God Temple, has fallen into decline. I need your assistance to restore its former glory," the man explained, his eyes revealing a mixture of regret and determination.

It turns out that just now the man used his sealed power to have a glimpse of heaven's secrets and immediately knew that he was no more in this world and more than that the War God Temple has encountered a great tribulation. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Arthur, looked intrigued by the man's story, listened attentively. The man continued, "You possess a unique potential, and I believe you can be the key to reviving the War God Temple. Will you help me in this endeavor?"

Arthur went silent for a moment but his mind was having a lot of chaotic thoughts right now.

'Why would I meet my clone's legacy here? This can't be a coincidence...the Fate Gem...'

'Hmm, could it be possible that this encounter is to help me tide over a calamity?'

Comprehending the Dao of Fate so far in the Fate Gem Arthur had begun to understand some secrets of the cause and effects of destiny and can faintly glimpse that there are factors hidden underneath the underneath.

Thinking till this point Arthur replied, "Senior, although you and I just met I can tell that you are a great figure in the upper realms and also your faction naturally would be very powerful too."

"An enemy that can force such a faction into dire straits. It won't be easy to tide over them."

The man nodded showing that he understood Arthur's underlying meaning.

There is no free lunch in this world. If he doesn't offer enough benefits Arthur will not make any promises.

But in actuality even without the man saying anything Arthur would have still helped the War God Temple if he encounters it in the future after it was a faction founded by an extension of himself.

The man handed Arthur a small bottle containing nine drops of blood essence. "This is the blood essence of the War God Bloodline. Refine it, and you will awaken the War God Physique which is a Divine Ranked Physique and Bloodline. With some luck, you might also awaken the War God Martial Spirit which is also of the Divine Rank. However, there's a condition—you must cultivate to a high realm first before you can refine this essence fully."

Arthur absorbed the information, his mind processing the weight of the task. "What realm do I need to reach?"

The man contemplated for a moment before responding, "To fully refine the War God Bloodline, you'll need to attain a cultivation realm beyond the Nascent Soul Realm. It's no easy feat, but the rewards are unparalleled."

"The Transcendent Tribulation Realm?"

"Exactly."

Arthur acknowledged the challenge, but he didn't think much of it. The man continued, "I can aid you on this path. I will provide you with a body-refining technique and a map leading to a treasure that will hasten your physical cultivation and the refinement of the blood essence."

As he said so, he gave Arthur a Spatial Ring along with the blood essence. Arthur received it and kept it aside.

At this point the man's figure very transparent and showed signs of dissipation which made Arthur frown.

"Sigh...what can't be avoided can't be avoided. Young one, it must be fate I met a talent like you. The contents of the spatial ring should be able to support you greatly even in the upper realm, as it can match the wealth of some middle level forces."

"I have so much to say but so little time but I will say the most important..." The man suddenly took of his helmet and Arthur saw a face that was very familiar to him. It was the same as his previous life!

Even though he already recognised the man's identity, Arthur was still greatly shocked in his heart.

"This one's name is Might Brightrealm. The founder of the War God Temple and the previous ruler of the War God Heavenly Realm. A million years ago the FiendGod Race Invaded the human race and I fought one of there Ancestral FiendGod and ended up almost dying in this small world. But I was still victorious in the end and slew that powerhouse and sealed his corpse in what you would now know as the Mortal Emperor Secret Realm."

Arthur was surprised by Might's words. So the Mortal Emperor Realm actually had such a history?

"This corpses is precisely the resource that will help you increase your strength greatly in a short amount of time even until you ascend the divine Dao imprint on its blood will be endlessly beneficial to you. All these things I can't really explain them but as long as you go through the records in the ring I have you, you will naturally understand. As for the rest...you will have to....investigate it yourself...farewell..."

"I appreciate your trust, Senior. I'll do my best to restore the War God Temple," Arthur affirmed.

The man smiled, a mix of gratitude and anticipation in his eyes. "Thank you young one, for carrying this seat's wish."

As the transaction concluded, the man's figure began to dissipate.

However, just before his transparent form vanished, an unexpected twist occurred. Arthur felt a force pulling the figure into his soul through the soul gem.

Before he could comprehend what was happening, the wisp of the man's soul was sealed within, and Arthur's senses were cut off from the external world as his consciousness was drawn into his soul.

Deep within, the soul gem glowed with an ethereal light as it refined the foreign soul energy. Arthur's mind was now a sealed chamber, shielding him from any influence or intrusion.

The profound power of the gem worked its magic, transforming the extracted soul into an extraordinarily pure soul power that resonated within Arthur's consciousness.

This unexpected turn left Arthur with a mix of astonishment and curiosity. At this point this soul power felt almost no different than his.

If he had to describe it, 'Iy feels like it returns to its origin?' even Arthur was a bit confused.

'I didn't expect this... What could this mean?'

As Arthur pondered, a bold idea took root in his mind. He realized that this newly acquired connection to the man's soul could serve as a catalyst for awakening the memories of his past selves.

'I might have a chance to access the memories of my original soul clone. This could be the key to unlocking the Nine Heavens Soul Technique to a greater extent.'

At this point Arthur thought about a lot of things and new that as long as he completed the the Third Level of the Nine Heavens Soul Technique, with this soul essence awakening a few memories with be with complete ease.

The decision was made; Arthur, with the newly acquired soul power resonating within him, stepped into the center of the hall within the Battle Tower.

The energies of the tower responded, and in a blink, he found himself transported to the ground floor.

As he emerged from the tower, the gazes that met him were a mixture of shock and awe.

The onlookers, including fellow disciples and bystanders, couldn't help but marvel at the aura that surrounded him.

Arthur just immersed himself with a peculiar experience and had yet to restrain himself. Hence the looks re received.

However, amidst the whispers of admiration, Arthur's keen eyes caught Anastasia's worried frown.

It was a subtle yet unmistakable expression that immediately triggered a sense of foreboding within him.

He approached Anastasia, his footsteps echoing in the space outside the Battle Tower. "What's wrong?" he asked, concern lining his voice.

Anastasia hesitated for a moment before revealing the source of her worry. "Arthur, it's about Helia. There's credible intel that she's in danger at the Skybreak Dark Forest."

A chill ran down Arthur's spine at the mention of Helia's name. Helia, was his devoted maid but more than that she was someone close to his heart.

The news struck a chord deep within him, and urgency surged through his veins.

"Take me there," Arthur said, his voice unwavering. "Lead the way."
