Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 701 Inheriting the Power of the Origin

Uncle Tianshu finished his words in one breath, with a confident look on his face.

Ding Hao also nodded secretly. Tianshu’s guess should be more or less correct.

In the distance, the illusory manifestation of the Three-headed Heavenly Hound was still licking the black puppy affectionately. Its tears streamed down in large drops, like they were real. They fell on the black puppy and morphed into brilliant streaks of light, absorbed into the puppy’s body.

The black puppy let out an excited yap, scampering eagerly around the Three-headed Heavenly Hound like a spoiled child.

Clearly, it did not know that its mother was dead, and what was before its eyes was only an illusion.

The formerly majestic and horrible aura surrounding them began to retract, slowly withdrawing into the illusory body of the Three-headed Heavenly Hound, like a whale sucking water. The terrible pressure of the heavens and the earth finally vanished, and everything seemed to have returned to normal. If the forest around the giant lake sinkhole had not turned into a barren desert, it would look as if nothing had happened.

The illusory manifestation of the Three-headed Heavenly Hound became more and more solid and substantial.

“It’s condensing its Power of the Origin…” A burning brilliance suddenly shot out of Uncle Tianshu’s eyes, as if he had just seen a peerless treasure. He trembled with excitement. “Hahaha, those experts didn’t take its Power of the Origin away? This is the innate essence of a Surviving Species like the Three-headed Heavenly Hound, comparable to the residual essence of Gods and Devils. Getting it is worth a hundred years of diligent cultivation. You can completely transform yourself with it!”

A fragrant scent slowly pervaded the air.

Ding Hao sniffed a few times and felt refreshed. The Qi in his body was invigorated.

“If you miss this opportunity, you’ll surely regret it. Little Chap Ding, attack now and trap this illusory manifestation with your Eternal Sky Immortal Light Seal. I’ll provide you with an elixir prescription that can refine a Divine Elixir of the Heavens and the Earth. It can improve your innate abilities exponentially!” The voice of the Saber Master urged him on, resounding in his mind.

Ding Hao’s heart skipped a beat. He was tempted.

However, when his eyes fell on the innocent and excited scampering black puppy, Ding Hao instinctively hesitated for some reason.

“You don’t have the heart to attack? Is it because of this little fella? It hasn’t inherited the bloodline power of its species, and is congenitally deficient. Even if it secures its mother’s Power of the Origin, this puppy won’t become a real Three-headed Heavenly Hound. It’d be a great waste if we let this rare opportunity slip.” The Sword Master also began urging him.

The Power of the Origin of the Three-headed Heavenly Hound must be absolutely amazing. It even got these two old freaks excited.

By his side, Uncle Tianshu’s eyes were shining, and he was already holding the black pot in his hand, eager to strike. But he did not make a move. He fixed his eyes on the black puppy, looking hesitant.

There was a fierce battle in Uncle Tianshu’s mind, since he was always absolutely unwilling to let go of any treasures.

“Old creature, what are you thinking? Don’t you dare lay your hands on my little pet!” Evil Moon noticed Tianshu’s strange expression and immediately issued him a stern warning.

Evil Moon, who had always been greedy for money and treasures, for once did not covet this divine power displayed before its eyes. Instead, it gritted its teeth, blocking Uncle Tianshu and making a growling sound in its throat like it was protecting a prey.

The Saber Master and the Sword Master were still persuading Ding Hao in his mind.

Ding Hao’s hand was gripping the hilt of the rusted sword.

But just at the moment when he was about to strike, he finally sighed and shook his head.

“I can’t do such a thing.”

If the black puppy was a powerful and horrific existence, Ding Hao might have attacked immediately without any hesitation. But it was just a poor puny creature without much intelligence and strength. It did not understand the cold and dangerous laws of the jungle at all. As it scampered excitedly around its mother, it yapped proudly and affably at Ding Hao and the others.

This little fella licking his palm with its pink tongue had made him feel itchy. The sensation flashed across Ding Hao’s mind. His heart felt like it was melting.
