Chapter 71: Blood Source · Great Blood Heaven Dream Curse

The night was already deep.

Inside the captain's cabin of the Demon Whale.

After resealing the already sealed Casper Sea Dragon into a fist-sized spherical object for easy carrying,

Carona carefully put it away.

Earlier, Carona had feared that Captain Jack might go back on his word, but after obtaining Casper Sea Dragon, she was finally completely at ease.

A serene smile appeared on her face as Carona looked at Gune.

"Captain Jack, helping you capture the Demon Lord, our cooperation has come to a perfect end."

"And I must leave now."

"Hmm, won't you stay for a night's rest? Traveling at night... well, flying at night is somewhat unsafe," Gune urged.

Carona stood up and gently shook her head.

"No, I need to advance to a Verity Angel as soon as possible, so that I can be safer."

"Mm!" Gune nodded and did not insist further.

"Then I hope Miss Carona soon achieves Verity Angel. If you have time then, we could have a sparring match."

"I am very much looking forward to Verity Angels!" Gune said with a smile.

"There will be a chance," Carona said softly.

Turning around, she walked out of the captain's cabin, gave a slight flap of her wings, and Carona ascended into the air.

At that moment, Gune also stepped out of the captain's cabin.

In midair, Carona looked at Gune.

"Captain Jack, Jack Sparrow is not your real name, is it?"

"Why do you all think this name is fake?"

Gune shrugged helplessly.

"Does this name not suit a captain?"

"Perhaps," Carona smiled.

"How can I find you in the future?"

"Find me later? Will you stay in this world for a long time?" Gune raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, I will stay for quite a while. At least until before Transcendent Master, I will be here. If I wish, I can even stay in this world until the ninth rank of Transcendent Master."

"Oh, that is a very long time indeed."

Although this angel advanced very quickly, the Transcendent Master rank often took decades or even longer to advance.

Even if this angel advanced swiftly, it would still take several years.

After a moment's hesitation, Gune asked,

"May I ask, what are the ranks above the ninth rank of Transcendent Master?"

Carona thought for a moment before replying,

"The path above the ninth rank of Transcendent Master is not much of a secret, but each person's choices will lead to different paths."

"As far as I know, there are three forms: Divine Envoy, Ancestral Spirit, and Saint Seat."

"Their strength decreases in that order, their potential increases in that order, and the difficulty of advancement increases in that order."

"Divine Envoy, Ancestral Spirit, Saint Seat."

Gune silently memorized this information.

"But you must understand, no matter which of these three paths, all are extremely difficult to advance."

"For most Transcendent Masters, their limit in a lifetime is merely the ninth rank of Transcendent."

"In fact, most Transcendent Masters are stuck at the seventh rank of Transcendent and cannot advance."

"Thank you," Gune nodded lightly.

"Also, those evil gods that descend into this world are greatly weakened when they enter this Transcendent world."

"And I have sensed your world; it should have Divine Envoy and Ancestral Spirit level experts. As for whether there are Saint Seat experts, that is uncertain."

"It is because of these Divine Envoys and Ancestral Spirits that the evil gods dare not run rampant."

"Otherwise, if the upper limit of a world's power were only Transcendent Master, that world would have been destroyed a dozen times over."

"That is true," Gune nodded lightly.

Earlier, Gune had guessed that there should be stronger forces within the human world.

Otherwise, those evil gods and their followers would not be skulking around like rats in the sewers.

"You still haven't told me how I can find you if I need to later," Carona asked again.

"A Super Caster will not be an unknown figure."

"Soon, you will know my real name."

Gune replied thus.

"Mm! I understand."

Carona nodded slightly.

Once this "Captain Jack" revealed his true identity in battle,

the reputation of a Super Caster would surely be impossible to conceal.

Then she would naturally know.

"Farewell!"

"Farewell!"

Carona flapped her wings, and her figure quickly disappeared into the depths of the mist and darkness.

Gazing at the vanishing Carona, Gune stood on the deck and stared for a long time.

"Verity Angel, I look forward to your appearance."

Withdrawing his gaze, Gune pondered silently.

Then Gune looked at himself.

"I feel that the awakened power can no longer be suppressed; it's about time to awaken."

Thereupon, Gune walked toward his captain's cabin.

Tonight, Gune planned to awaken.

...

A few hours later.

Inside the captain's cabin.

At this moment, Gune, sitting cross-legged on the cultivation seat, had blood energy that was more refined and pure than before.

Gune had now completed the second awakening of the Blood Curse Master, a six-star Transcendent profession.

The entire second professional awakening of the Blood Curse Master was as smooth as water, without any disturbance.

During the transformation, Gune's blood clearly underwent a significant evolution.

The power of his blood increased by at least twofold, whether in terms of recovery ability or the blood curses used in combat.

With the enhancement of his blood, his physical body naturally received a certain degree of strengthening.

Of course, the more crucial point was that both Blood Escape Technique and Blood Shield had undergone a transformation.

Previously, these two blood curses were low-rank Transcendent curses, but now they had become mid-rank Transcendent curses.

Blood Escape Technique: Curse syllables 10, Source Power consumption 3.

Blood Shield: Curse syllables 10, Source Power consumption 3.

And their levels had not decreased at all.

This made Gune seem to discover a useful little trick.

Low-rank curses level up faster than high-rank curses; first, let them idle at mid-rank curses.

When they reach level eight or nine, then undergo the third or fourth professional awakening.

That would directly grant powerful high-rank or even low-rank Secret Pattern curses at level eight or nine.

For now, these two level-five mid-rank blood curses were already starting to become effective.

Both the shield and the Blood Escape Technique were quite effective.

Compared to these two curses obtained from the first awakening,

the terrifying Blood Pool Codex, which had reached level seven during this second blood curse awakening, perfectly granted Gune a powerful "Blood Source Innate Divine Ability."

Earlier, from the inheritance information, Gune learned that Blood Curse Master Gewu with a level-four Blood Pool Codex could awaken a "Blood Source Talent." With his own level-seven Blood Pool Codex, it should at least be a "Blood Source Innate Divine Ability," right?

Sure enough.

This time, Gune obtained his long-cherished "Blood Source Innate Divine Ability."

Blood Source Innate Divine Ability [Blood Source · Great Blood Heaven Dream Curse]

A curse-type Blood Source Innate Divine Ability.

[Blood Source · Great Blood Heaven Dream Curse] can enter dreams through blood, entering the "Blood Dream World" constructed by negative aspects such as bloodshed, death, doom, brutality, nightmares, and curses.

The Blood Dream World is not an illusory dream but a half-real, half-fantastical bizarre world.

Killing enemies in the Blood Dream inflicts great damage on them each time, while also obtaining some of their blood crystal fragments, soul fragments, and even nightmare fragments.

The higher the level of [Blood Source · Great Blood Heaven Dream Curse], the farther the span of time and space it can cross, and the stronger the enhancement one receives in the Blood Dream World.

The appearance of this innate divine ability shocked Gune at that moment.

Using his own blood, Gune could roam the "Blood Dream World"; after all, Gune had plenty of blood, if nothing else.

And using others' blood, Gune could directly pull enemies into the "Blood Dream."

Engage in a never-returning online battle in the Blood Dream World.

Hitting people in dreams—that is the power of this innate divine ability.
