Chapter 52 The Fifth True Ancestor
Chapter 52 The Fifth True Ancestor
Shi Chen raised his right hand and pressed it against his chest. Immediately afterward, golden light surged forth, and fragments of divine essence emerged from his body and fell into his hand.
He held the fragment of the divine essence out in his right hand and slowly faced it toward the relief wall. Golden light enveloped the relief, and an incredible scene unfolded.
The relief sculpture began to undergo dramatic changes!
The carved surface rippled like waves, coiling and writhing like tentacles, as if trying to take the fragments of divinity in Shichen's hands into it.
The sculpture came to life, revealing its true form as a metallic life form with a deep red luster like blood.
As time passed, the divine fragments were pulled back, and the relief began to twist desperately, as if reluctant to part with them. But in the end, it did not go berserk; it simply returned to its original shape.
But anyone who has seen the scene just now can no longer regard it as an ordinary relief.
Shi Chen remembered that this relief was tampered with by Yase Kensei—who is now Yase Natsune's father.
The true nature of this sculpture is a deep red liquid metal life form with its own will, not a creature existing in nature.
Amorphous and eternal, only alchemical techniques that can manipulate the structure of matter at will can give birth to this life form that defies the laws of the world.
If one could transfer their soul into this immortal metallic life form, they would become an eternally ageless being.
What can achieve this is a deep red gemstone control device called "Core Refining".
However, Shichen doesn't need that thing; his divine fragments can do the same.
Time once again handed the fragment of divinity to the relief.
The relief sculpture also came to life again, constantly twisting and turning, trying to touch the fragments of divinity.
Instead of taking back the divine fragments, Shichen threw them directly to the relief sculpture.
The relief sculpture touched the fragment of divinity and twisted wildly; it was excited, it was joyful, as if it were tasting a delicious meal.
The fragments of divinity slowly disappeared into the relief, and then a miraculous scene unfolded.
The relief, which was originally the color of a dull copper sheet, instantly turned into a deep red liquid and began to drip.
The church's narrow altar was instantly enveloped by a large amount of liquid metal, resembling a pool of blood.
The liquid metal expanded continuously, instantly transforming into a giant, deep red soft body that wriggled like a slime.
This scene made me feel a little uncomfortable.
Smaller ones are fine; slimes are harmless and cute. But this big one is a bit creepy.
As if sensing the timing, the liquid metal lunged at him.
The time was immediately covered.
The crimson liquid began to seep up from Shichen's feet, slowly creeping up and attempting to envelop his body.
It felt like falling into a mud pit and getting your legs tangled up.
However, this crimson liquid is not as harmless as mud; it is eerie, conscious, and intends to devour time.
Shi Chen was not afraid of the crimson liquid, because at this moment, he could finally feel the power of his divine body.
His body began to radiate a pure white light, sacred and inviolable, radiant and holy.
The crimson liquid, like filth in the darkness encountering the sunlight that restrains it, is terrified and begins to tremble and struggle; it tries to escape.
But time cannot let it escape.
Another force within his body yearned, as if it had encountered a delicious meal, wanting to devour, absorb, and possess the deep red liquid enveloping him.
The power of the True Ancestor's body!
The crimson liquid fully realized the danger and tried to separate itself from Shichen, but it couldn't find it. It was as if it was sucked into Shichen's body and couldn't move. It could only tremble instinctively.
Time, responding to his body's desires, began to absorb the deep red liquid enveloping him.
The crimson liquid was suppressed by the divine body and absorbed by the true ancestor body, unable to move. It could only tremble and slowly seep into Shichen's body.
At this moment, Shichen felt that magical power was beginning to surge through his body!
The magic grew stronger and stronger, beginning to circulate throughout his body, flowing through his veins and blood.
He has magic powers!
The crimson liquid entered his body and transformed into magic!
This magic is powerful, vigorous, and inexhaustible.
"Wait! Wait a minute! Don't absorb me, please spare me! I'm not a bad person!"
Before they could even register the time, they suddenly heard a woman's voice begging for mercy.
Following the sound, he saw a small clump of dark red liquid on his leg that had transformed into a human figure, clinging tightly to his leg and begging for mercy.
It's impossible to discern her exact features, but her face clearly possesses an exotic charm.
Shi Chen frowned slightly, remembering her identity, and then controlled his body, refraining from absorbing her.
That amount of magic isn't too lacking.
The massive, crimson liquid that had almost filled the entire church had vanished, leaving only a fist-sized, humanoid figure of crimson liquid.
"Phew—" Realizing it was safe, the humanoid red liquid breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.
Shi Chen stared at her with a strange expression.
Although she was entirely crimson, she was completely human-shaped and was currently naked, meaning she was a miniature version of a naked woman.
It's just like a figurine, only more realistic.
"Who are you?" Shi Chen suppressed his curiosity and asked, knowing the answer already.
It's nothing to see. Thor's is much prettier. The key is that it's all dark red, which has no aesthetic appeal whatsoever.
"Me? Listen up!" The little woman stood up, proudly put her hands on her hips, and replied triumphantly, "I am the great alchemist, Nina Adilard."
Although small in stature, her body proportions are impressive.
Shi Chen looked at her expressionlessly: "Oh, I don't know you."
"What? You don't recognize me?" Nina Adilard seemed very angry.
"You have a problem with that?" Shi Chen laughed, threatening to absorb her.
"No! No, no! I was wrong! It's normal that you don't recognize me." Feeling the suction that offered no resistance, Nina Adilard immediately gave in.
"Heh~ That's more like it. Also, speak normally."
"Why? I..."
"Um?"
"I...I understand." Nina Adilard lowered her head helplessly.
"You said your name is Nina Adilard?"
"You...you remember me?" Nina Adilard asked, tilting her head up in surprise.
"No, I just find it troublesome to call you that. I'll teach you Nina from now on."
"Hey? You brat... can't you be a little more polite? I'm older than you, you know? Can't you show some respect?"
"It seems you don't really want to live."
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. Call me whatever you want, just please don't absorb me." Nina immediately bowed and apologized.
"Heh~ You're quite sensible. You said you were an alchemist, so you'll be following me from now on."
"Huh?" Nina was stunned.
"What do you mean 'huh'? If I hadn't let you go, would you even have a chance?"
"......I see."
"From now on, call me Master."
"What?"
"Um?"
"Master...Master."
"That's more like it." Shi Chen nodded in satisfaction.
"..." Nina seemed to lose all her strength in an instant.
She had just woken up, so how did she suddenly have an owner? She almost died just now.
But there was nothing she could do; she was at the mercy of others, and she didn't want to really die.
With that thought in mind, Nina completely accepted it.
"By the way, are you going to stay like this forever?" Shichen suddenly asked.
"What?" Nina was a little confused.
What were you like before?
"Oh, this? I haven't changed bodies yet."
As Nina spoke, her body suddenly solidified, and then her skin color changed from dark red to brown.
She's a completely exotic beauty, still wearing nothing, and her clothes are a bit small.
"Where are the clothes?"
"oh."
Nina reached out to the grass on the ground, and the grass suddenly flew towards her, then gathered on her body and transformed into two white pieces of underwear.
Matter transformation!
This is the wonder of alchemy!
However, Shi Chen wasn't interested. He nodded, stretched out his hand, and said, "It's ready, come on up."
"Understood, Master."
Nina accepted her change of identity quite quickly; she jumped onto Shichen's hand and was then placed on his shoulder.
"Let's go back."
"OK."
Shichen didn't rush to leave. Instead, he waved goodbye to Xiaobai and the others before preparing to depart.
"By the way, Master, why are you able to absorb the Sage's Blood?" Nina suddenly asked curiously.
She only just got up now, and it seems the time wasn't for "core refining." So how did he activate the Sage's Blood?
"Is absorption easy?"
Shi Chen couldn't help but laugh. Immediately afterward, the magical power within his body surged, vast and boundless, with astonishing power.
A strong wind swept around, scattering weeds and shaking tree branches, making the kittens shiver.
"I am now—the Fifth True Ancestor!"
Shi Chen laughed wildly, unrestrainedly, and arrogantly, but a voice rang out and immediately stopped him from laughing.
"Oh? You're saying you're the Fifth True Ancestor?"
