Cursed Immortality

Chapter 771  Bloodline of Infinity!

"Whaoaa…" Immortika exclaimed, "Instead of thanking me, you are starting to doubt me? Tsk. It seems your paranoia is still as strong as ever."

When Jacob heard this, he couldn't help but instantly think about what had happened that day, and he couldn't find any words to refute it. He had indeed fallen into a trap, and the enemy was simply too powerful for him to handle.

This made Jacob calm down a little, as he knew Immortika had indeed saved him. Otherwise, he would've been a corpse or a prisoner right now, which could be worse than dying in many ways.

Nonetheless, it still doesn't change the fact that Immortika could interfere with his progress, which made him extremely uncomfortable. 'Even if I'm not happy with it, what can I do? Cursed Immortality is a Universal Godly Scripture that can fiddle around with the entire universe system if it wants to; I can't fathom what it's capable of…' He felt bitter as he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could completely control something like Cursed Immortality.

Furthermore, compared to those two entities he met that day, Cursed Immortality was clearly more terrifying since it would save him from them.

Although he didn't know how they managed to escape that day, feeling the power within, Jacob was sure that Immortika had done something terrifying and even helped him not only complete the longevity schema but also charged up cursed blood somehow.

He knew all those corpses weren't enough to completely charge the cursed blood; no, they were far from enough, yet Immortika had made it happen.

After calming down, Jacob asked sternly, "I'm grateful and even flatter that you went out of your way to save me. But it still didn't change the fact that you can interfere if you want to, and I'm not comfortable with it; no one would. Furthermore, he has always told me that I won't do anything if I die. Then what changed it?"

"Hehehe, no, anyone else would've been thanking me instead of feeling insecure, and they would've already started to cozy up to me, but that's what I liked about you, you know, you just don't want anything else to control you. You can't accept there is someone else above you, and that's a quality required to continue your path.

"Still, I do owe you an explanation. First, I indeed helped you by breaking the most sacred rule of a godly scripture, and it came with a price that you had paid. As for why I saved you, isn't it obvious? I don't want to lose the source of my entertainment, hahahahaha!"

Jacob felt the urge to punch the eccentric book when he heard the last part, and for some reason, he even accepted since he knew Immortika only wanted to be entertained, but he clearly wouldn't buy it.

"Price that I had paid? What do you mean by that, and what kind of price?" The flames in his eyes flicker intensely as he has very bad feelings about it.

"I can't go into details; just know that a Universal Godly Scripture is the embodiment of Universe laws, which means it has the power to not only interfere but change them. However, for this exact reason, we have the most vicious restriction of all, which is that this power is useless to us. We can't use it, and without any worthy inheritor, we are nothing but ordinary antiques. "On top of that, not just anyone can inherit a Universal Godly Scripture; you know this better than anyone else. Even after the inheritor is found, making progress in a Universal Godly Scripture is even more difficult, especially as you reach the completion.

"What I did was akin to going against the entire universe's laws and my own existence. And the worst punishment for me is to directly punish my inheritor. Although the punishment wasn't extreme since those two were also breaking the universal laws in many ways, it was still enough to have killed you even if I saved you.

"So, don't think I would ever do that for you again unless you are ready to pay with your life."

Jacob's expression was grave, as he could tell Immortika was unusually serious. As for whether it was telling the truth, he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could tell that.

Still, Immortika's explanation made lots of sense, but it also made him dreadful of the universe's laws. But he was more confused, "So what did I pay? I'm clearly still alive, and I don't feel anything. In fact, my lifespan had been raised to a ridiculous degree. Just what the hell did you do?"

"Hahahaha…" Immortika suddenly laughed as if that conversation had never happened and answered, "Well, you see, I helped the little nightmare a little and made it directly devour the entire dreamscape soul farm, which was spread throughout the twelve lesser galaxies.

"Although it wasn't available to the entire galaxies, it had still accumulated a lot of dreamscape soul power. So, when it was completely devoured, you got 70% of that share in soul vitality.

"At that time, since I had already helped you complete the first phase, and the genesis of the Cursed Immortal Bloodline was complete. You need to know that the Cursed Immortal Bloodline is extremely special since only I can create it. It has another name, 'Bloodline of Infinity.'

"This means that your cursed blood is infinite, and even if you used it all, it'll regenerate infinitely. But since you don't have the entire cursed immortal physique yet, you can only regenerate the cursed blood by absorbing either others' blood or soul vitalities or by paying with your own lifespan.

"But don't worry. Since this regenerative process depends on your will, as long as you don't want to use your lifespan to regenerate it, it won't be used, and you can still use the same way of absorbing blood as before to regenerate it.

"As for why you would use your own blood, it is simple because after completing the first phase, you have awakened my first inheritance ability, 'Infinity Blood Sacrifice.'

"The Infinity Blood Sacrifice will allow you to sacrifice your blood for any type of wish. The more substantial the wish, the more infinity blood you have to pay for it to be realized. You can even consider Cursed Blood or Infinity Blood to be the highest currency of the universe, which the universe won't reject.

"So, the price at that time was also your infinity blood, and what you had wasn't enough, so your lifespan started to get used to regenerate your infinity blood until the price was paid, and that's where the little nightmare came in handy!"

Jacob was so shocked that he didn't even react for a while as this was simply too much for him to take in since not only the truth behind Cursed Immortal Bloodline was shocking, but this inheritance ability Infinity Blood Sacrifice was simply reality-bending.

He can wish for anything as long as he can pay the price. The implications behind it were so huge that he thought he was in an illusion.

Furthermore, he instantly understands where Nyx fits in all this. Immortika's scheming abilities are simply too terrifying for him not to be awed and dreadful by them.

Suppressing his urge to test this Infinity Blood Sacrifice, he quickly asked, "So what you're saying is that the lifespan I currently have is what remains of it after Nyx devours the entire Dark Battle Arena?"

"Hahahahaha, indeed."

"How much did I pay exactly?" Jacob was curious about the price one needs to pay to have a Universal Godly Scripture make a move.

"Well, not much, only around 143,899,100 years…"

Jacob thought he heard wrong, but he knew he didn't as he blurted, "HOW MUCH?!"

"Hahahahaha…!"

Immortika burst into joyous laughter like crazy as Jacob almost lost consciousness when he realized that he had lost almost 150 million of his lifespan!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
