Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 545 - Purify The Blood



Now, Emery had two masterpiece gene boosters in his hand. The sludge-like crimson red potion he held was the result accumulated from the many things he had learned and gathered from all across the world, and beyond. 

He obtained the Heavenly Fruit from a temple on the other side of the world, the lycanthrope corrupted liquid in a cave of an isolated island, the Caracas flower from another world he visited while he was in the Academy. Last but not least, the only reason he was able to create the potion was the girl who gave him the recipe.

He uncorked the bottle, stared at the pungent liquid inside and took a deep breath. 

Although the analysis indicated the potion was really a gene booster potion, there was always a chance the potion would mess up his bloodline and even make him go berserk. He reached into the [Spatial Storage] and pulled out the [Beast Pendant] before placing it next to him.

As he had thought about the possibility beforehand, he conducted the experiments inside his hut deep in the Forbidden Forest, away from the Felaenon village. If he lost control, at least there was a small chance he would end up actually hurting anyone.

This was it. He placed all his hopes on these two vials to boost his wolf gene essence, so he could break the 30% milestone.

Emery took the first [Fey Gene Booster] and poured it into his mouth, before quickly sitting in a lotus position to try and absorb it.

Within seconds, he felt a slight tingle spread all around his body, followed by warmth similar to someone wiping a warm cloth all over his skin. Slowly, the warmth boiled over; after a few minutes, the heat made his body into a makeshift furnace. Every inch of him felt like it was burning. If he was an ordinary person, he would have burst into flames by now.

[Calculating ancestor blood essence percentage…]

[28% fey wolf essence found]

[Your bloodline just went through a purifying process]

[Genes purified]

[Fey wolf gene essence percentage increased to 29%]

Slowly, the warmth dissipated, but Emery didn't even pay it any mind. He was staring at the number displayed in front of his eyes, knowing he was so close. The built-up energy still thrumming beneath his fingers only solidified that belief even more. Without hesitation, he uncorked the tube containing the second booster potion and drank it.

Unlike before, the moment he gulped the second potion, an explosion of energy immediately erupted within his body, almost making him stumble as it caught him off guard. The heat didn't waste any time as well, quickly burning into his entire body. His vision started to blur, dark spots began gathering at the edges of his vision, making the hut he was in appear darker.

From within the darkness, wisps of smoke seeped out and began to gather into an odd shape with a pair of large, glowing green eyes.

The same gaze he saw when he first drank the legendary blood elixir in the academy. There was no way he could forget the creature's distinct gaze.

Unlike before, the smoke continued to solidify, turning into a large wolf with silvery fur and green, glowing tattoos on its body and forehead.

The wolf gazed at Emery for a second, before turning away. From the darkness, Emery saw another bunch of smoke had started gathering, this time it formed a nether wolf. When he saw the pitch black wolf adorned with spikes all over its limbs, he was shocked, but his words died in his throat the moment he saw the hunger swirling in its red eyes.

When Emery's gaze met the eyes of the second wolf, the word 'Devour' echoed all over his mind.

As the second wolf approached the first one, its presence became even more intimidating by the second. But the moment they touched, both turned into smoke together.

Everything he saw immediately disappeared, Emery found himself back inside the room in his hut. He looked down on his hand, a layer of sweat was covering his skin. Then he started to transform.

First, silvery fur grew all over his arms and body. The fur turned dark for a mere split second before turning back into a gleaming silver.

The whole process felt more painful than anything he had ever experienced. Every moment was like someone forcefully ground all his bones into dust, letting them merge together and crushed them again. Meanwhile, his skin was like stabbed with thousands of superheated needles.

Urrrrgggghhhh!!

Emery gritted his teeth and tried to swallow his screams to control the transformation.

In moments, it was clear the energy swirling within him was far too volatile and uncontrollable, there was no choice but to wear the pendant. With trembling hands, Emery reached on the pendant and slipped it on.

Right as the pendant's jewel touched his chest, the energy became less of a raging storm. The energy still felt like a fierce sea, but it became easier to tame. Slowly but surely, Emery started regaining control over it.

Surprisingly, the Dao cultivation he practiced to balance the two cores ended up helping him. Other than letting one side of the fey wolf energy overpower the other, he started to blend them together. As the powers merged, the pain slowly dissipated, replaced by power that slowly filled his body.

[Your bloodline just went through a purifying process]

[Genes purified]

[Fey wolf gene essence percentage increased to 30%]

[Analyzing genes]

[Fey Wolf Bloodline rank evolved to rank 4]

[Rank 4 - Fey Shaman]

Finally, he managed to increase his bloodline rank. Now he possessed a rank 4 wolf bloodline. With the increase in power, he could feel all his muscles, skin and bones became stronger. Not only that, just like the last time he tried to purify his genes, this time he could also feel his understanding of the Nature element quickly improving. The energy from his rank increased swirled around his natural core and filled it.

[Spirit force increased exponentially]

Overall, after braving through the pain, the rank up became such an amazing experience. With a gleeful smile, Emery quickly checked his palm and found that his stats had tremendously improved.

[Emery Ambrose]

[Battle Power: 83 (74)]

[Spirit Force: 593 (448)]

[Spirit Core of Darkness – Stage 5]

[Spirit Core of Nature - Stage 1]

[Fey Bloodline – Rank 4]

[Acolyte Rank: 8]

10 point increases in battle power and 25 in spirit force. The upgrade really gave him such a huge boost.. But the boost came with an urge, wanting him to unleash and transform.
