The way the masked man saw it, being able to hunt down two people with born Taoism aptitude was quite an impressive way to kill.
The masked man laughed to the top of his lungs as he said, “The gods must be on my side today!”
The aura about him began to turn increasingly cold and terrifying, so much so that the aura he emanated caused that elder of the Immemorial Path to shiver while he was still being bound by the Dragon-snaring Lasso.
However, it was impossible for the elder to outrun it; he was unable to move an inch while he was bound by the lasso.
The cold seeped into his bone, making it look as if he was going to drop dead any time.
The number of fighters within the Holy Sun Continent that were at the very pinnacle of the Divine Transformation Realm was so small that they could all be counted on one hand.
“I’ve made up my mind. I won’t kill you, but I will break all of your limbs before I take you away.”
The masked man’s mind had changed completely; he decided to spare Lu Xuan. It would’ve been a terrible waste to just kill him right now.
As he shouted, the entire place began to tremble. It looked as if he could shake the entire place on his own.
His aura boiled so intensely that he looked like he was able to kill everything around him.
“Beast King Fist!”
Voom!
He threw a punch that conjured an incredibly massive beast right away, laying prostrate in the sky. The beast glared at Lu Xuan with sinister eyes. The fist’s will had conjured so much pressure that it looked as if it was able to tear the cosmos apart.
The attack failed to faze Lu Xuan at all, yet his aura grew increasingly more terrifying. While it was true that the masked man in black was truly powerful, Lu Xuan was far from helpless in comparison.
Anyone who could see inside Lu Xuan’s body would’ve seen how every bone in his body had now shimmered with a golden glow.
That transformation had completely changed him, both inside and out.
That was the sign of his atavism; it meant that he was getting closer to the state that the first person with born Taoism aptitude had reached.
The earliest awakened born Taoism aptitude traits worked only on his skin, which had long seeped into his body after training for so many years. By now, all those powers had seeped into his bones.
He no longer had an ordinary body; his body seemed even more perfect and closer to that of the gods.
That beast charged at him right away, looking like it was tearing the skies apart when it moved.
Lu Xuan countered the attack by throwing a punch.
Two terrifying bursts from their firsts collided with each other.
The punches contained such intense force that it looked like it was able to tear everything around apart. The surrounding mountains looked like they were about to crumble. The realm itself looked as if it was about to collapse.
Lu Xuan reeled several steps back as those two terrifying punches tore at each other before he could steady himself.
He was at a disadvantage in that one clash.
His internal organs were hemorrhaging from the shock of the attacks clashing.
However, that was all there was to the damage. He was able to completely heal himself with just a single breath. The frightening regenerative powers that came from born Taoism aptitude now worked to the fullest.
The masked man wore an expression of greed and bliss as he said, “You truly are of the sacred bloodline! You’ve come to develop that bloodline way further than what that brat had achieved. It would indeed be best to remodel my body with your blood.”
That masked man was totally unperturbed by the frightening regenerative powers that Lu Xuan just demonstrated. Instead, he was rather overjoyed about it.
Such a powerful bloodline was precisely what he needed.
“You want to use my blood to remodel your body?” A terrifying glint was seen in Lu Xuan’s eyes.
Flashbacks from his past life played in his mind. While there were numerous types of godly physiques out there, they were still so extremely rare that one could hardly find one in a population of over a hundred million.
Many who knew that it would be impossible for them to awaken to such physiques thus came up with sinister thoughts. Many of them were looking into ways to transfer such godly traits into their own bodies.
Forceful means like robbing the bloodline of someone else to remodel oneself was quite common throughout the cosmos. Quite a few people had already succeeded.
For thousands of years, the members of that organization had been out there hunting any awakened sacred ones to rob them of their bloodline and transfer the bloodline into their bodies.
Lu Xuan realized everything immediately. He had initially thought that the hunt was rather peculiar. He wondered what had driven the organization to hunt the sacred ones for thousands of years.
While many people worshipped the sacred ones in the world, several others also still despised them. If those people truly hated the sacred ones so badly, then they wouldn’t have only hunted the sacred ones who had awakened.
Several clans were descendants of the sacred ones. According to the Immemorial Path’s records, there were no massacres in which the sacred ones’ descendants were targeted. The only exception was when the Liu Clan was being exterminated.
Judging by the capabilities of one such organization, it would have been useless even if those descendants were protected by the Immemorial Path. The sect couldn’t just protect them at all times indefinitely after all.
That was what puzzled Lu Xuan in the first place.
However, he finally realized what was going on at the moment. The organization never thought about exterminating every last descendant, to begin with. They instead kept the descendants around like cattle, waiting for some of them to awaken their sacred bloodline. Anyone who had done so would’ve been hunted down.
Those people would then use the blood of the awakened sacred one to modify themselves and acquire the powers of born Taoism aptitude.
If that organization was filled with people as powerful as that masked man, it would’ve been entirely possible for them to succeed throughout the whole time for the past several millennia.
Xuanyangzi was the strongest fighter throughout that world, yet that masked man was hardly much weaker than Xuanyangzi.
Only a handful of such powerful people existed within the Holy Sun Continent.
The masked man crossed his arms in front of his chest and casually said, “Indeed, if I were to be able to get my hands on your blood, my powers would see further growth. By then, not even Xuanyangzi would be able to take me on!”
“I see. All the more reason for me to exterminate every last one of you, then.”
Lu Xuan’s eyes and expression became increasingly cold.
“You lot have completely gotten on my nerves; you’re all nothing but a bunch of garbage.”
The masked man coldly said, “So what if we’ve infuriated you? Who do you think you are? Do you think that Xuanyangzi could save you? I’m afraid his hands are full right now.”
Lu Xuan coldly replied, “Do you think that I need Xuanyangzi to save me? Hearing you say that makes me seriously want to beat you to a pulp. I’ll obliterate your organization and break every single bone that you pieces of garbage have in your bodies.”
That masked man then chuckled coldly as he said, “You sure like to talk big, huh? While there’s plenty of time to spare, I don’t intend to waste any of it dealing with you.”
Lu Xuan’s aura immediately after hearing what the masked man just said. All of those pent-up powers erupted from Lu Xuan’s body like a volcanic eruption.
Lu Xuan entered an incredibly mystical state of existence.
It looked as if he had turned into a god.
Countless mid-tier spirit stones were reduced to dust as boundless spirit qi surged into Lu Xuan’s body.
“Are you ready to get beaten to a pulp?”
