The Story Never Ends
Chapter 176 - Such A Waste...

"I've returned," Davion muttered and entered his new courtyard. As for the elders, they didn't create any issues for him. They simply asked some questions about the enemies and let him go.

"Hehe feels good to have a backing."

The moment he entered, he saw Danny and Ryland intently looking at the ball made from fire and wind energy levitating in the air. Currently, the size of the ball has become twice as small.

He could feel it was being sucked up by the bird inside it with his Mind-Eye.

"It will emerge soon," He thought and came behind their backs without them noticing.

Then he put his hands on their shoulders.

"Ah!"

Danny exclaimed and jumped back in shock while Ryland flew in the air.

"Haha" Davion laughed and took off his mask revealing his newly dashing face. He didn't seem as childish as before with his colorful hair and pupils. Especially with the wild aura radiating from him made him look manly and quite savage.

"Father, you came." Danny rushed into his arms and spoke. He was worried as he left without informing them properly.

Ryland landed on his face and began licking his face.

"Stop..stop." Davion got free and asked Danny while stroking his hair, "How do I look?"

"Father, you look handsome. Now, I'm pretty sure you can bring mother with just your looks," Danny praised.

"Ouch!"

Davion immediately knocked on his head causing him to cry out in pain.

Danny put his hands on his head and gazed at him with a pitiful look. He felt like he was getting bullied.

Davion didn't bother about him and took out two treasures from his spirit ring.

One was the heavenly ice alpine flower and another was a large burning mango. This mango was far more potent than the one he fed to the bird.

"Ryland, these are for you. Didn't I promise to give you something good?" He passed them to him.

The Blue Head swallowed the alpine flower while the Red Head swallowed the mango.

"BAM"

Powerful heat and ice energy were released from him at once which affected the whole courtyard.

"He might breakthrough too." He thought and carried him to one of the rooms. He left him there and took out the token from his spirit ring. Next, he slid it on the small cranny in the door of the room.

"Swish"

A defensive formation covered the room and the energy emitted from Ryland was not leaked out. Only then did he leave.

Coming out he saw Danny's expression and smiled, "Son, I have something for you too."

He took out heaps of spirit stones and put them on the table that was on his side.

Danny shook his head in disappointment.

Seeing this, he sighed, "How about these?"

He took out an odd rose, a metal, and some other treasures from his spirit ring. They were obtained from the rings of the disciples he had collected in the Secret Realm.

"I knew you loved me more," Danny finally became happy and began putting them in his mouth one by one.

"Haiz.." Davion gave a wry smile and went straight to the room in the middle.

Afterward, he closed the door and came infront of the mirror. Then he undressed completely and solemnly looked at himself.

His facial features were not the only thing that had altered, but something weird had appeared on his body. A long black tattoo spread from his right chest all the way to his right forearm. This tattoo consisted of various signs and symbols that he couldn't understand. The only thing he recognized was the figure of a flame burning on his chest.

"The tiger tattoo disappeared when I finished absorbing that tiger. Now instead of that, this new thing popped up." He touched it and felt a warm sensation.

"The reason why my aura has become hotter is due to this tattoo too. It is slowly gathering fire energy from the surroundings and I can't even stop it." He sat cross-legged on the floor and went into deep thought.

"Will something happen when it finishes gathering the energy? Then can I ultimately open up the portal to the Demon Beast World?"

"Let's forget about it. I might know about it in the future." He let go of it for the time being and focused on his panel.

"After I had learned the Heavenly Body Reforging Technique, the panel didn't record it with that name. But rather as Heavenly Body Grade 4. It looks like there are many levels to it. Does this mean that it will evolve when I reach a certain level?" He pondered.

"Not only that, something is happening to my blood." He closed his eyes and put his attention on his heart.

His heart was pumping as usual but the blood coming out of it and flowing in his veins had turned dark red, the same as his hair. But it would still take some time for all the blood to be converted. Moreover, he could sense the terrifying power possessed in this blood. Although it was already powerful due to his vigorous physical strength, his blood was now carrying a flame attribute.

"Is this the so-called bloodline that makes one powerful?" He recalled the memories of his time in Mulberry City. Especially, during the Sect Selection Ceremony. He had seen a phantom of a humongous dragon coming out from the body of a young man.

"Now, I think about it. The tiger also seemed similar. Nonetheless, it didn't appear as imposing as that dragon. So, it should definitely be a far weaker bloodline," he felt dismayed.

"What a waste..."

If that ancestor tiger had heard this, then it would surely cough out blood in anger. How could one complain about it after taking all the trouble to absorb it? He even disdained it, nonetheless.

"Maybe I can replace some ways to upgrade it or even replace it in the future?" He could only think this way and have peace of mind.

"Hehe, time to check today's harvest." He chuckled and thoroughly went after all those spirit rings.

Since he had become powerful now, he didn't have to worry about being tracked since he could easily destroy these restrictions inside them.

An hour later,

"Damn, are they really from the Heavenly Demon Sect?" Davion cursed as he didn't replace anything that could catch his eyes.

There were only spirit stones, talismans, pills, artifacts and few rare materials of heavens and earth like the one had given to Danny.

"The only things that could interest me are these bottles and this strange lamp. I had seen the devil king using this lamp to summon that beast. As for these bottles, I have to see." Davion keenly observed these two things infront of him.

"Let's see the lamp first." He lifted it up and peered through the hole.

"MY GOD!"

He exclaimed as couldn't believe what he saw inside. There was an open field at least 50 meters long and 30 meters wide. There was a small sun in the sky and a pond in the middle. In addition to this, there was constant spiritual energy flowing into it from this hole.

"I immediately take back what I said earlier. This is not something a middle-grade sect can possess. The Heavenly Demon Sect deserves its reputation," he sighed.

"This lamp is like a spirit ring but life can exist here. So, it is similar to a Secret Realm. But it is too small to call it so. Perhaps I can call it Pocket Realm," He smiled.

He sent his spiritual energy into it and examined whether there was anything wrong with it. Nonetheless, he didn't replace anything unusual.

"It appears that the elders must have lent it to that devil king to use just in case something bad happened. If there were some restrictions, I'm sure he wouldn't be able to take anything out." Davion guessed.

"Talking about restrictions, I am totally clueless. It looks like I have to take my time and visit the library." He made up his mind.

Next, he waved his hand, and the bottles ahead of him disappeared from his vision. They had appeared inside the lamp.

"Interesting. Works like the spirit ring too." He brought out the bottles back again and put the lamp on his side.

Then he opened their lids, and a strong devil essence was released from them.

"Oh! A potion." It was his first time seeing this.

"Let's see what it does to me." He drank all those bottles without any hesitation.

Like the devil pills he had taken previously, his devil seed began absorbing the essence.

"It is the same." He thought, but the next change made him speechless. Since his devil essence was full already, this essence was then sucked in by his Heavenly Body. It didn't go to waste like last time and his experience points even increased.

"Don't tell me…" He had a wild conjecture.

Thus, to be sure, he first transformed into his devil form and then took out heaps of spirit stones. Afterward, he gobbled them all with his big mouth.
