Chapter 176: A New Racial Talent

You once again take out the Bloodline Spirit Fruit and intend to consume it.

The Bloodline Spirit Fruit enters your body, emitting a strange power. You quickly activate your Fiery Ape Bloodline and begin absorbing the power of the fruit.

One minute later, most of the fruit's power has been absorbed.

Two minutes later, there is very little power left in the fruit.

Three minutes later, the power of the fruit is completely absorbed by your Fiery Ape Bloodline.

Congratulations, your Fiery Ape Bloodline has received a slight improvement, and the power of your Fire abilities has slightly increased.

"Another slight increase," you shake your head, clearly dissatisfied with the result.

You switch to Lang Shisan and wait for the cooldown on your foresight ability to reset before attempting to foresee again. This time, you choose Lang Shisan's Jade Horned Sheep Bloodline.

...

Congratulations, your Jade Horned Sheep Bloodline has received a slight improvement, and your vitality has slightly increased.

The improvement from the Bloodline Spirit Fruit on the Jade Horned Sheep Bloodline is even less than that of the Fiery Ape Bloodline, only a slight increase.

With no other options, you switch to Wang Nan and try the last Bloodline.

...

Congratulations, your Giant Ant Bloodline has received a significant improvement, and your physical strength has greatly increased.

Your luck comes into play, and the power of the Bloodline Spirit Fruit is unexpectedly absorbed a second time. Your Giant Ant Bloodline receives another significant boost, and your physical strength increases greatly once more.

"Luck played a role!" You're pleasantly surprised. This is the first time your luck has influenced your abilities. Under the effect of your increased luck, the previously significantly boosted Bloodline experiences another substantial increase.

Congratulations, with the dual effect of luck and the Bloodline Spirit Fruit, your Giant Ant Bloodline has regained the ancient power it once lost.

Congratulations, you've obtained the racial talent "Mountain-Shattering Force" from the Giant Ant race.

Since you already have one racial talent, the two talents combine to grant you the talent "One Power Over Heaven."

"Talent! I've really obtained a racial talent!" You exclaim with joy. You knew there was a high chance of obtaining a racial talent when you received the Bloodline Spirit Fruit, but experiencing it firsthand still excites you.

"Regaining the ancient power means I now have an ancient Bloodline!" This means that you no longer need to search for ancient Bloodline essences for your physical-type Bloodline. Now, all you need to do is fuse another regular physical-type Bloodline, and you can attempt to break through to the Profound level.

You take a deep breath, relieved to have resolved the issue of ancient Bloodline essences that had been bothering you.

However, with the "Wheel of Fate Sutra" cultivated, breaking through to the Profound level isn't as simple as having one character with four Bloodlines at the Great Perfection stage. You also need the other two characters to fuse four Bloodlines each.

Looking at the Bloodline Spirit Fruit in your hand, you decide to use it immediately. You swallow the fruit and feel a strange power surging within you. You quickly activate your Giant Ant Bloodline and absorb the power of the fruit.

After two to three minutes, the power of the Bloodline Spirit Fruit is completely absorbed, and your Giant Ant Bloodline is now much stronger than before.

But that's not all. Suddenly, the seemingly depleted Bloodline Spirit Fruit erupts with power once again. You continue to control your Giant Ant Bloodline to absorb it.

Once everything is finished, you sense a mysterious change in your body. You have gained a completely new racial talent.

You quickly check your personal information panel and see that in the talent section, your previous "Heaven-Shattering Strike" talent has disappeared, replaced by a new talent:

"One Power Over Heaven: A new talent obtained by combining the racial talents 'Heaven-Shattering Strike' from the Great Ape race and 'Mountain-Shattering Force' from the Giant Ant race. When using this talent, your strength will increase threefold for one minute. In this state, you can merge your strength, speed, and physique into a single explosive strike. After using this talent, your entire physical strength will be depleted."

"Triple strength boost!" You can't help but take a deep breath. With your current physical strength, which has already been greatly enhanced by the fusion of multiple Bloodlines, this means you can easily defeat mid-level Profound-ranked monsters with a single punch.

"Although the two talents have merged, the ability of 'Heaven-Shattering Strike' hasn't disappeared; it's still retained."

"Yes, if I use 'One Power Over Heaven' and then gather all my strength to deliver the most powerful blow, I might be able to kill a mid-level Profound-ranked monster with a single punch."

When you faced Goulian earlier, your 'Heaven-Shattering Strike' only severely injured him. But if you use the same method now, you could likely kill him with one punch.

"With my current strength, as long as I don't encounter the few Demon Kings in the city, I should be able to walk freely."

You're confident that with all three characters having four Bloodlines at the Great Perfection stage and the new talent, you can once again reap a huge harvest of monsters the next time the Demon Tribe attacks the Heavenly Vault Divine Array node.

Walking along the deserted streets, you can't help but want to find a couple of monsters to test your newfound strength.

However, your search is fruitless, as many monsters were killed yesterday. After searching for a while, you still haven't found any monsters.

"Today's two missions for hunting Profound-ranked monsters are 'Revenge for the former head of the Monster Execution Department' and 'Hunt a Paper Puppet Demon.'"

"The revenge mission is already completed, leaving only the task of hunting the Paper Puppet Demon. In my Qiankun Ring, there is also a mid-level Profound-ranked monster."

"It's not safe to keep a mid-level Profound-ranked monster. I should deal with it as soon as possible."

You decide to complete Zhang Yang's mission first, and then, when it's close to dawn, you'll take on the task of hunting the Paper Puppet Demon.

Killing the Paper Puppet Demon will anger the three king-level monsters in the City God Temple. Faced with such beings, you have no choice but to log out of the game.

With that plan in mind, you use a daily mission refresh card.

"Do you want to use the daily mission refresh card immediately to refresh today's daily missions?"

Chapter 176: New Racial Talent

"You take out the Bloodline Spirit Fruit again, intending to try consuming it."

"The Bloodline Spirit Fruit enters your body, immediately emitting a strange power. You quickly activate your Phoenix Bloodline, beginning to absorb the power of the fruit."

"One minute later, you have absorbed most of the fruit's power."

"Two minutes later, there is very little power left in the fruit."

"Three minutes later, the fruit's power has been completely absorbed by your Phoenix Bloodline."

"Congratulations, your Phoenix Bloodline has been slightly enhanced, and the power of your Fire abilities has increased slightly."

"Another slight increase," Su Nan shook his head, very unsatisfied with this result.

He had no choice but to switch to Lang Shisan's character, waiting for the cooldown to reset, and then attempting the next bloodline.

This time he chose Lang Shisan's Jade-Horned Sheep Bloodline.

...

"Congratulations, your Jade-Horned Sheep Bloodline has slightly improved, and your vitality has slightly increased."

The improvement the Bloodline Spirit Fruit had on the Jade-Horned Sheep Bloodline was even less significant than the Phoenix Bloodline, only a slight increase.

Helplessly, Su Nan continued to switch to Wang Nan and began trying the last bloodline.

...

"Congratulations, your Giant Ant Bloodline has significantly improved, and your physical strength has greatly increased."

"Your luck has come into play, and the power of the Bloodline Spirit Fruit has unexpectedly been absorbed a second time. Your Giant Ant Bloodline has once again been significantly enhanced, and your physical strength has greatly increased."

"Luck has played a role!" Su Nan was pleasantly surprised; this was the first time his luck had come into play within his body.

Clearly, it was because his luck had skyrocketed!

Under the influence of his luck, his already greatly improved bloodline had been significantly enhanced once again. This was tantamount to him consuming two Bloodline Spirit Fruits.

Moreover, both times had been extremely lucky, causing his Giant Ant Bloodline to significantly improve twice in a row.

"Congratulations, with the dual influence of luck and the Bloodline Spirit Fruit, your Giant Ant Bloodline has regained the ancient power it once lost."

"Congratulations, you have gained the racial talent 'Overpowering the Heavens' of the Giant Ant race."

"Due to your possession of one racial talent, the two talents have merged. Congratulations, you have gained the talent 'Breaking the Heavens with One Force.'"

"Talent! I really gained a racial talent!" Su Nan was ecstatic. Although he knew there was a good chance of obtaining a racial talent when he got the Bloodline Spirit Fruit, he was still excited when he actually obtained one.

"Recovering the ancient power of the bloodline means I've become a Ancient Demon Bloodline, right?"

"In that case, I don't need to search for the Ancient Demon Fairy Bloodline anymore. Now, all I need to do is fuse another regular bloodline with a physical body aspect, and I can attempt to break through to the Profound Level!" Su Nan's breathing was slightly accelerated. The problem that had bothered him before, the inability to use the Dragon-Turtle Essence Bloodline, had now been resolved.

Unfortunately, even with the completion of the Wheel of Fate Scripture, breaking through to the Profound Level was not as simple as having four bloodlines fully mastered on a single character. He needed to fuse four bloodlines on each of the other two characters as well.

Looking at the Bloodline Spirit Fruits in his hand, Su Nan didn't hesitate and immediately swallowed one.

Once the fruit entered his stomach, it immediately turned into a strange power. Su Nan quickly activated the Giant Ant Bloodline Mystic Art and guided the power toward his bloodline.

The power of the Bloodline Spirit Fruit converged into his Giant Ant Bloodline, and he could clearly feel the increase in his bloodline's power.

This feeling was similar to when he used demon power to enhance his Demon Art.

Finally, after two or three minutes.

The power of the Bloodline Spirit Fruit had been completely absorbed, and his Giant Ant Bloodline was now much stronger than before.

But it wasn't over yet.

Suddenly, the Bloodline Spirit Fruit, which had been completely consumed, erupted with power once again. Su Nan continued to control his Giant Ant Bloodline to absorb it.

When everything was over, he felt that his body had undergone an inexplicable change, and he had gained a completely new racial talent.

Without thinking too much, he immediately opened his personal information panel. In the talent section, the previous talent "Breaking the Heavens with One Force" had disappeared, replaced by a new talent.

"One Force Breaking the Heavens: A new talent obtained by merging the racial talent 'Heaven-Breaking Strike' of the Giant Ape race with the racial talent 'Mountain-Shaking Power' of the Giant Ant race. When using this talent, your strength will increase threefold, and it will last for one minute."

"In this state, you can merge your strength, speed, and physical body into one, unleashing the most powerful strike. After using this talent, your entire physical strength will be exhausted."

"Threefold increase in physical strength!" Su Nan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

With the fusion of the Flame of Life Essence, his current physical strength was only the second strongest, but it was still several times stronger than other warriors of the same level, thanks to the influence of his many bloodlines.

Now, with the effect of "One Force Breaking the Heavens," his strength could increase threefold, allowing him to easily defeat mid-level Profound Rank demons!

"Although the two talents have merged, the ability of 'Breaking the Heavens with One Force' has not disappeared and is still retained."

"That's right, if I use 'One Force Breaking the Heavens' and then gather all my strength to unleash the most powerful strike, I'm afraid it can easily kill a mid-level Profound Rank demon in one punch!"

When dealing with Hook Sickle earlier, he had used "Breaking the Heavens with One Force" and only managed to severely injure Hook Sickle. But if he were to use the same method to deal with Hook Sickle now, it would probably be enough to kill him with one blow.

"With my current strength, as long as I don't encounter those demon kings in Tianyun City, I should be able to walk horizontally."

Su Nan was confident. With three characters and three different bloodlines fully mastered, plus the acquisition of new talents, he was confident that he could continue to reap a lot of demons the next time the demon clan attacked the Tianqiong Divine Forbidden Array node, just like he did last time.

Walking on the deserted streets, Su Nan couldn't help but want to find a couple of demons to test his strength.

However, he was disappointed because most of the demons had been killed in large numbers yesterday, and after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find any demons.

"Today's two tasks for hunting Profound Rank demons are 'Revenge for the former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division' and 'Hunt a Paper Puppet Demon.'"

"Now that the revenge task for the former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division is completed, only the task of hunting the Paper Puppet Demon is left, and in my Qiankun Ring, there is still a mid-level Profound Rank

 demon."

"I can't keep a mid-level Profound Rank demon in my Qiankun Ring. I should take care of it as soon as possible."

He decided to complete Zhang Yang's task first and then take on the task of hunting the Paper Puppet Demon when it was close to dawn.

Killing the Paper Puppet Demon would anger the three king-level demons in the City God Temple. Faced with such formidable foes, Su Nan had no choice but to log out of the game.

With that plan in mind, he used a Daily Task Refresh Card.

"Do you want to use the Daily Task Refresh Card immediately to refresh today's daily tasks?"

"Yes!" Su Nan confirmed.

"Congratulations, your daily tasks have been refreshed."

"Daily Task One: Eliminate any common-level demons within Tianyun City."

"Daily Task Two: Eliminate any spiritual-level demons within Tianyun City."

"Daily Task Three: Fulfill the last wish of the former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division."

"What? There's still no task to kill Profound Rank demons after refreshing?"

Su Nan frowned. He had used the task refresh card specifically to get rid of the task to kill the Hook Sickle.

Now, not only did he complete the revenge task for the former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division, but he also got another task to help fulfill the former Chief's last wish.

This was like being set up by the former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division!

Moreover, this was also a three-star task.

"There's no other way. I can only go and ask Zhu Chen and the others what the former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division's last wish was."

The busiest time for the Demonic Executioner Division was at night.

Inside the Demonic Executioner Division, Zhu Chen and Ma Qiang were discussing something. When they saw Su Nan arrive, Zhu Chen immediately said, "Chief, you're here."

"What are you discussing?" Su Nan asked.

Zhu Chen replied, "Today, a spiritual-level peak demon caused the deaths of five civilians. We are discussing how to kill it."

"Which demon is it?" Su Nan asked.

He had just refreshed a task to hunt spiritual-level demons, so now he had a target.

"It's a demon called Hook Sickle. It's proficient in soul power and can create illusions. It seems that after learning that we are trying to capture it, it has hidden in the horse farm in the southern part of the city," Zhu Chen explained.

"Can it use soul power?" Su Nan made a mental note of this.

At this moment, Chen Su suddenly remembered something and said cautiously, "Chief, did you kill the one who killed the former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division today?"

Upon hearing this, the other two also looked at Su Nan. They all knew that Su Nan had previously inquired about information related to the Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division. Now that the Chief was dead, it was hard not to associate Su Nan with the Chief's death.

Zhu Chen said, "Today, the White Water Demon King even came directly to our Demonic Executioner Division."

"Oh? The White Water Demon King dared to come to the Demonic Executioner Division?" Su Nan's expression turned serious.

With the White Water Demon King's strength, if he really attacked, the Demonic Executioner Division would be in great danger. Fortunately, from the current situation, the Demonic Executioner Division had not suffered any damage.

Ma Qiang added, "At the critical moment, the Lord of the Prefecture arrived, and the Lord of the Prefecture took action, forcing the White Water Demon King to retreat."

"However, although the White Water Demon King was defeated and fled, he has not given up on you, Chief. Before leaving, he threatened that as long as you appear, all the demons under his command will attack you."

Su Nan's heart tightened. The White Water Demon King had not only a mid-level Profound Rank demon like the Purple Armor under his command but also several late-level Profound Rank demons and peak-level Profound Rank existences. If they all attacked him together, he might not be able to withstand it.

But he was not afraid. With his current strength, as long as the White Water Demon King didn't personally take action, he could still escape unscathed.

"Don't worry, I'm a visitor from another world, and I'm not so easily killed," Su Nan said lightly. Then he changed the subject and asked, "Do you know what the last wish of the former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division was?"

"Wish?" Zhu Chen and the others exchanged glances and thought for a moment before shaking their heads. "We don't know. The former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division, apart from dealing with some demons that we couldn't handle, was mostly absent from sight. We rarely saw him."

"You don't know either?" Su Nan frowned. If even Zhu Chen and the others, who were senior members of the Demonic Executioner Division, didn't know the last wish of the former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division, then completing the task seemed to be a difficult task.

"Before the former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division was ambushed, did he have any special desires or unusual actions?" Su Nan asked in a different way.

"Special desires? Unusual actions?" Zhu Chen and the others thought for a moment and then said, "The former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division did have one thing he wanted to do, which was to kill a demon named Luer. Because that demon had escaped from the former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division's hands several times and had become the former Chief's nemesis."

Su Nan nodded. Luer was the first Profound Rank demon he had killed in Tianyun City, and he had learned from his foresight that the former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division had always wanted to get rid of Luer but had been unsuccessful.

But that didn't seem to be the former Chief's last wish.

At this moment, Chen Su suddenly remembered something and said cautiously, "Speaking of unusual actions, it seems there was one."

As he spoke, Chen Su looked at the other two and said, "Have you forgotten about the random notes..."

"Random notes? That's right, if we're talking about unusual actions before the former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division's death, it would have to be those random notes," Zhu Chen said, recalling.

Su Nan quickly asked, "What random notes?"

Chen Su explained, "Those were written by the former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division out of boredom, but we found that after he visited the City God Temple, the content of the notes began to change. It became strange and illogical."

"City God Temple!" Su Nan's heart trembled.

He immediately realized that this might be the key to the task.

"Where are those random notes?" Su Nan asked.

"The random notes are still in the former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division's residence," Zhu Chen replied.

The former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division's residence was the one Zhu Chen had prepared for him earlier, but Su Nan had never lived there.

Soon, Su Nan found the random notes.

He flipped through them briefly and found that the earlier pages of the notes mainly recorded the former Chief of the Demonic Executioner Division's hunts of demons, detailing which demons
