Chapter 652: Legendary Bloodline Ability

The raging power of the Legendary Bloodline surged fiercely throughout Vlad’s body, causing waves of intense pain, but he remained resolute, steady, and entirely focused.

The Depravita understood perfectly well that if he faltered even slightly now, the bloodline would be irrevocably lost, and there was no possibility of acquiring a second one. Bit by bit, the bloodline carved itself deeply into Vlad’s very bones and soul, restructuring every cell within him.

After an agonizing and grueling six hours, the painstaking process was finally complete.

"BOOOOM!"

At that instant, an explosive wave of energy erupted violently from Vlad’s body and soul, filling the entire room with an overwhelming pressure.

The successful assimilation of the Legendary Space Bloodline pushed Vlad’s energy pool across the critical threshold, propelling him directly into Level 19 and marking his ascension as a fully-fledged Sage.

Vlad observed with sheer awe and exhilaration as the previously vibrant lightning sphere symbolizing his Angel Bloodline gradually faded away, replaced by a luminous, sky-blue orb that radiated power akin to a dwarf star.

However, that magnificent sphere was not alone. Floating silently beside it was a mysterious, dark plasma orb constantly shifting and pulsating, exuding profound mysteries and incredible fluctuations.

The orb was mesmerizing in its beauty and wonder, radiating an immense, almost overwhelming aura of spatial power—unmistakably linked to the Law of Space.

"Yes! Success!" Vlad shouted joyfully, yet his triumph was short-lived as exhaustion finally overtook him.

The intense and risky implantation of a Legendary Bloodline into a cultivator still at Guardian Tier had taxed Vlad’s physical and mental reserves to their utmost limits. Without warning, he collapsed onto the floor, slipping immediately into deep unconsciousness.

Several hours later, Vlad slowly regained consciousness. His eyes fluttered open, clouded at first but quickly regaining clarity as he once again turned his attention inward to examine his Soul Dimension. Before him still shone the dazzling sky-blue sphere of his newly acquired Legendary Space Bloodline and the mysterious orb of dark plasma representing his yet-unknown Sage Ability.

Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Vlad issued a familiar command.

"A.I. Chip, scan me."

Immediately, the reassuring voice of the A.I. Chip echoed through his mind:

Host’s flesh has undergone substantial changes, incorporating unique components similar to those found in the Leviathan King, significantly enhancing resilience to physical and magical attacks.]

A wide smile of satisfaction appeared on Vlad’s face as he carefully reviewed these remarkable improvements that the chip detailed.

Although his physical attributes showed only modest increases, reaching the Sage Tier in energy cultivation had significantly loosened the invisible shackles that previously constrained his potential. His body now held vastly improved prospects for future growth.

"Now my chances of obtaining a Legendary-tier physique are far greater," Vlad murmured confidently.

An enhanced body was always welcome news, yet Vlad’s gaze swiftly sharpened as he turned his full attention to more pressing matters—his newfound comprehension of the Law of Space.

Channeling his energy, Vlad allowed his bloodline and Demon Soul to resonate simultaneously. The world around him abruptly changed, revealing countless delicate threads of glowing sky-blue light permeating every inch of existence. Each thread intertwined beautifully, forming an intricate spiderweb stretching infinitely in every direction.

Now that Vlad had ascended to Sage Tier, his soul was finally capable of directly interacting with the profound Laws governing reality.

Thanks to the combined power of his Legendary Bloodline and Demon Soul, he effortlessly pierced through the veil, clearly sensing and perceiving the once elusive Law of Space.

Vlad had achieved the most critical and difficult first step toward mastering any Law: finding it.

He clenched his fists with excitement, feeling an exhilarating surge of power from this profound achievement. Nevertheless, Vlad kept his composure, immediately turning to explore his new Bloodline Ability.

Within the crystal containing instructions for the Legendary Space Bloodline implantation, there had also been information detailing potential awakened abilities.

Stretching out his right hand, Vlad softly invoked.

"Sphere of Spatial Domain!"

Instantly, a radiant sky-blue sphere emerged from his palm, swiftly expanding to encompass the entirety of his residence. Within this domain, Vlad felt absolute mastery and awareness. His senses became impossibly sharp, effortlessly tracking every subtle movement and minute detail within the sphere.

Yet this was merely the tip of its potential. Vlad quickly discovered he could alter spatial density in specific areas, significantly impeding enemy movements and even completely disrupting abilities like teleportation. This alone was already immensely powerful, but Vlad sensed one final aspect of the domain remained undiscovered.

To test it further, Vlad summoned his sword and calmly stood at the room’s center. Closing his eyes, he reviewed the Peak Sage-Tier technique he had discovered within the Dino Library—Void Severance.

Previously, the technique had been utterly incomprehensible, far beyond his limited understanding. However, now that his soul could interact directly with spatial laws, things had fundamentally changed.

After just five minutes of profound contemplation, Vlad reopened his eyes, raising his sword confidently before executing a precise, powerful downward slash with all his strength.

No energy radiated from the strike, nor was there any flashy display. Instead, directly before him appeared a minuscule, invisible slit—barely three centimeters in length.

It seemed insignificant at first glance, yet Vlad knew it was the sharpest edge conceivable, a perfect, silent cut directly through the very fabric of space itself.
