Chapter 513: The Sin Poison of the Holy Tree

Translator: CKtalon/ WXD Editor: - -

With the Kun Peng Sword Technique and Excalibur ineffective, Shi Xiaobai could only go for broke as he attempted to swallow the green ball. He was hoping to use the Power of Taotie to 'digest' the green ball.

However, he never expected the green ball to be unaffected by it. Instead, it rolled down his gullet like a fish in water. It adhered closely inside Shi Xiaobai's chest cavity and beat alongside his heart.

Shi Xiaobai immediately felt a shudder as he opened his mouth in the hopes of vomiting it out!

The green ball suddenly produced countless green needles like a porcupine. They stabbed forcefully into Shi Xiaobai's visceral organs, limbs, meridians and blood vessels!

If not for 'Unleaking Turtle Aura' drastically reducing the pain, Shi Xiaobai would probably have cried out in pain. But even so, the pain of his tender flesh being stabbed was still exceedingly clear. It was as though he was being bitten by thousands of ants!

And at the next moment, with a flush, the green ball suddenly shot out a sticky green liquid through the countless needles. The liquid infused Shi Xiaobai's visceral organs, limbs, meridians and blood vessels, mixing with his blood, bone marrow and every other liquid in his body!

Shi Xiaobai's skin instantly turned a layer of green!

Changing of his bloodline!

No, it was not only so!

The 'calamity' Shi Xiaobai was facing was not only limited to that. Suddenly, crisp rattling sounds were heard from his body!

Shi Xiaobai drew a gasp of cold air as he felt the bones in his body shrinking, distorting and changing shape!

His skull!

His torso bones!

The bones of his limbs!

The two hundred and six bones in his body were in spontaneous motion at that instant. It was either compressing, rubbing against each other or colliding. They seemed orderly but also did not seem to be following any certain pattern!

However, there was one thing that was certain. Not only was Shi Xiaobai's skin turning green, his body was also shrinking!

This was not as simple as a bloodline transformation but transformation into another species!

Shi Xiaobai was turning from a yellow-skinned human to a green-skinned Transcendent dwarf!

The Transcendent King's remnant soul finally changed its lines. It began reciting loudly like it was reading an essay with a perfect score.

"Bear with it! The pain is a necessary process of the transformation!"

"Hold on! This is not a punishment but the transcendental favor!"

"Relax! Do not resist. This is the heritage of a king. It's the benevolence of a king!"

"…"

The Transcendent King played the role of an elder that gave good and patient guidance, as though it was attempting to 'pacify' Shi Xiaobai, who was 'accepting' the Transcendent King's heritage.

Was this also part of the 'program's settings?

Shi Xiaobai could not help but scoff in anger.

Bear with it? Hold on? Relax?

Fuck that shit!

Ignoring the fact that the pain was something no one could endure without 'Unleaking Turtle Aura', who would willingly accept the darn setting of turning from human to a green-skinned dwarf!?

Shi Xiaobai naturally could not accept it!

The moment he had thoughts of resistance, the red blood in his vessels which were gradually being 'devoured' by the green liquid began boiling. It clashed head on with the green fluid!

His human bloodline was fighting the Transcendent bloodline!

Shi Xiaobai suddenly recalled the Infernal Queen mentioning that the Transcendent King's heritage needed to be willingly accepted by the inheritor. So that was the case. The bloodline of others would not be easily bullied either. When their master generated thoughts of resistance, they would charge forward like soldiers to protect their 'nation'!

Even though the pain from the clash of the bloodlines was something even 'Unleaking Turtle Aura' could not withstand, Shi Xiaobai continued conjuring his human bloodline to fight the Transcendent King's heritage through gritted teeth!

The red blood and the green fluid began to engage in a 'massacre'!

The green ball suddenly vibrated violently as it issued resonating sounds like a petulant child!

The Transcendent King's remnant soul also sensed the situation. Not only did it change its lines, its expression had changed as well. It said nervously, "Child, bear with it! Hold on! Relax! Definitely, do not resist it! Pain is only temporary. It will be over after tolerating it for a moment! But if you were to attempt to resist, the heritage power will result in a lashback. Once the Transcendental favor becomes the Sin Poison of the holy tree, no one can save you!"

Clearly, the setting of the Transcendent King's remnant soul believed that Shi Xiaobai, who had reached the ninth level, was a trial-taker willing to accept the heritage. Without any subjective thoughts, it could only understand Shi Xiaobai's sudden resistance to be out of pain. Therefore, he advised him anxiously!

However, the reason why Shi Xiaobai had reached the ninth level was not that he was willing but because the Infernal Queen had ignored the rules and sent him up against his will!

Shi Xiaobai could not help but feel suspicious.

The Infernal Queen clearly knew that such a situation would occur but she had still sent him to the ninth level.

Could it be that she would think he would compromise by accepting the Transcendent King's heritage under the threat of death? Or was she trying to kill him?

But with her strength, wouldn't it be easier for her to kill him directly if she wanted to kill him?

Then, what if the answer was the former?

No, no matter how much a 'slut' the Infernal Queen was, she was definitely not a fool. She was even very clever. She definitely knew what he would do when he faced such a situation!

Upon thinking of that, Shi Xiaobai suddenly grinned.

Eking out his survival by being a green-skinned dwarf?

No!

This King will absolutely not do it!

Upon sensing the master's intense will to resist, the human bloodline boiled even more vigorously. Fresh red blood began 'devouring' the green liquid as the bones that were being compressed and distorted suddenly stretched out. As though warriors that had been crushed down by a boulder suddenly raised their hands to lift the rock, they stood up with verve and straightened their backs in an upright position!

Weng! Weng! Weng!

The green ball suddenly spun around at an extremely fast speed. It began creating a great deal of friction between his chest and sternum as an ear-piercing sound was emitted!

The Transcendent King's expression changed drastically as he screamed, "Stop! Stop! Stop!"

"Accept the Transcendent King's heritage and you will possess supreme power, becoming a king among the Transcendents. You will become the ruler of the world! Your fate will definitely change as a result!"

"Quickly stop!"

The Transcendent King shouted hysterically. However, it was only a remnant soul. Although it was given a portion of the Transcendent King's emotions, it did not have any intelligence, not to mention any strength. It could not prevent Shi Xiaobai's resistance and it could only attempt to persuade Shi Xiaobai with words.

Shi Xiaobai turned a deaf ear to it as he closed his eyes and tried to use the power of his human bloodline. He constantly attempted to devour the Transcendent King's heritage and pressed on at every stage. Finally, the power of his bloodline enveloped the green ball!

The human bloodline was deeply ingrained within him, so with Shi Xiaobai’s resolute resistance, the Transcendent King's heritage was unable to put up a fight!

"This King's fate is decided by This King!"

Shi Xiaobai suddenly widened his eyes and roared at the Transcendent King. The power of his bloodline transformed into an invisible hand that clenched the green ball tightly. Suddenly, it tightened as the green ball struggled vigorously and emitted sharp cries!

"Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah!"

The Transcendent King's remnant soul screamed even more tragically. Its translucent body suddenly faded in and out of existence and gradually became even more transparent, as though it was a wisp of cloud that could dissipate at any moment.

"Darn sinner. To destroy my Transcendental heritage, the Sin Poison of the holy tree will turn you to pus and you will be reduced to nothing!"

The Transcendent King cursed viciously and with a poof, it dissipated, turning into a light green smoke which dispersed into the air.

At the same time, the green ball in Shi Xiaobai's body suddenly turned black. It went from green to dirty black!

Boom!

The black ball suddenly cracked in Shi Xiaobai's body with a boom. If not for his bloodline's power enshrouding it that formed an invisible barrier, his heart which was in close proximity to the ball would have been torn to shreds.

But even so, Shi Xiaobai still spat out a mouthful of blackened blood.

The explosion of the black ball was like the rupturing of a ball of water. Black liquid squirted out and doused Shi Xiaobai's internal organs. They did not corrode his flesh and blood like acid but instead infused into them, turning his blood-red fascia black instantly!

The poison instantly spread itself into his visceral organs and every inch of his blood vessels!

The holy tree's Sin Poison?

Only then did Shi Xiaobai realize the obscure meaning of its name. The black liquid that had spread throughout his body after the explosion green ball that turned black was the poison of the Transcendence Holy Tree on the seventh level!

No, that Transcendence Holy Tree was only a replica. That poison was on a completely different level than the poison that was flowing within Shi Xiaobai's veins!

Even though Shi Xiaobai possessed a constitution that was resistant against poison, just 20% of the true Transcendence Holy Tree's poison was already fatal!

His skin, flesh, blood, tendons, bones, nerves and every cell in his body were instantly infected by the black poison. They were dying!

Shi Xiaobai had turned black!
