I Have an Omen System

Chapter 319: Chapter 218: Blood Fiend Altar Master

An unnatural, feverish flush colored Bai Zhi’s face as she frantically absorbed the Miasma Soul Crystal above her head, her eyes a solid crimson.

Seemingly having lost her mind, she charged recklessly toward the edge of the arena, only a few steps away from success.

"The spot is mine!" she shrieked.

Just then, a burly figure darted in from the side like a phantom. frёewebηovel.cѳm

"Luo Li, what are you doing?" Bai Zhi cried out in terror.

The man’s face was savage. Blood Qi roiled around him, faintly coalescing into the ghostly images of wailing, tormented faces. It was none other than Luo Li, the Altar Master of the Blood Fiend Altar and a practitioner of the Blood Evil Soul-Stealing Skill.

"You fool! You’re not going anywhere!"

Luo Li let out a savage laugh. His massive hand, covered in a dense, bloody light, shot toward Bai Zhi’s back.

With her mind mostly addled by the Miasma, Bai Zhi’s reaction was a beat too slow. Her Protective Demonic Light tore apart like paper.

SQUELCH!

Before Qin Xuan’s eyes, Luo Li’s blood-red hand burst clean through Bai Zhi’s chest, crushing her still-beating heart.

He followed with a savage rip.

"AHH!"

Bai Zhi only managed a short, choked scream before her body was brutally ripped in two by the violent Blood Fiend power.

Deep red blood and visceral fragments splattered everywhere. The scene was utterly gruesome.

Luo Li licked the blood that had splattered onto the corner of his mouth, a cruel, satisfied smile spreading across his face. Without so much as a glance at the mangled corpse, he flickered out of sight and shot past the arena’s boundary, becoming the first to qualify.

But what sent a true chill through Qin Xuan’s heart was Bai Lingwei. Standing not far away, she had witnessed the entire scene, yet her expression remained completely placid.

Her eyes were as cold as frost.

She even exploited the brief chaos caused by Luo Li tearing Bai Zhi apart. Her Body Technique was fluid as she silently slipped toward the edge, showing not a hint of grief or anger at her own sister’s brutal death.

’This woman... She’s so cold-hearted!’

Qin Xuan’s gaze grew deep.

’So this is her true nature!’

The slaughter on the arena grew more ferocious. Everyone was in a killing frenzy over the ten qualification spots, and bodies were dropping one after another.

Qin Xuan hesitated no longer. He made his decision.

’The Top-Top Lottery’s guidance was to hide my strength and avoid calamity. I absolutely cannot get involved in this mess!’

He immediately activated the Ten Thousand Forms Blood Talisman and concealed his aura.

He moved like a slippery eel, weaving around the edges of the chaotic fray.

Any skirmishes he entered were brief. He would clash once and immediately retreat, putting on the appearance of someone with dwindling Magical Power who could barely defend himself.

A purple glint flashed deep in Bai Lingwei’s eyes. She had been watching Qin Xuan the entire time.

’Even now, Junior Brother Qin is still holding back?’

After Luo Li, a second person broke free of the Reincarnation Miasma.

’Play the pig to eat the tiger, but be careful not to actually become the pig.’

Bai Lingwei’s gaze shifted; she didn’t dwell on it.

She became the third person to break out of the toxic miasma.

’After all, the advanced refinement method for the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was far too tempting to pass up.’

Watching Bai Lingwei emerge third, Ji Boying sighed in exasperation.

’It’s only the preliminary selection, and she’s already going all out. If Senior Brother Liu Mobai found out, that woman would probably be the death of him...’

Wei Qingyi, tucked away in a corner, nodded with satisfaction.

’Junior Brother Qin really is clever. He listened to me. The Old Ancestor should be able to rest easy now!’

Finally, after what appeared to be a great struggle,

Qin Xuan managed to snag the tenth and final spot at the last possible second, tumbling past the arena’s boundary in a rather wretched state.

"The preliminary selection for the Demon Child trial is over," the Golden Core Miasma Demon announced. "All remaining Demon Cultivators are eliminated!"

"Luo Li, Jiang Cheng, Bai Lingwei... Ji Boying, Wei Qingyi, Qin Xuan. The ten of you, step forward and receive your Demon Orders for the next selection!"

As its voice faded, the Golden Core Miasma Demon waved a large hand.

Ten gleaming golden Demon Orders flew out, and Qin Xuan caught his.

Qin Xuan felt a jolt of energy.

’Such rich Essence! The Demon Order was actually refined from the blood of tens of thousands of living beings!’

’Just absorbing this Blood Essence would be enough to raise my Cultivation by at least one level!’

Qin Xuan slumped to the ground, panting heavily.

His gaze swept over the others at the edge of the arena—Wei Qingyi, Ji Boying, and the rest—who all looked as if their Demonic Essence was completely depleted.

He then glanced up at the Golden Core Miasma Demon, a mass of black smoke bound by chains in the air.

He couldn’t help but shake his head and curse inwardly with a wry smile.

’Damn it. What a bunch of actors!’
