Corrupt Creations

The energy of corruption followed Seth's guidance and invaded Chun Meiyi's body. However, it ignored her normal body cells and only focused on locating the bloodline cells that were trying to awaken inside of her.

The corruption stuck to them and started to corrupt those bloodline cells, ignoring the fact they were the noble cells of the Illusive Ethereal Bloodline. A bloodline the goddess had passed down to mere mortals and unfortunately, none of them were able to bring it back to its former glory.

The Illusive Ethereal Goddess, wished for her descendants to flourish and dominate over this small planet and set sail to explore the universe later on, making her name echo through the four corners of the entire cosmos. However, her descendants were not even able to ascend yet and her spec of spiritual force still residing on the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary, was unable to accomplish anything greater than what she had already done.

It was really unfortunate that when she received that "Crimson Annihilation" divination, her wishes were put at risk and the resulting consequences limited her descendants even more.

At that moment, Seth was smashing that limit apart with his corruption, giving it to Meiyi's cells and making it serve as the resource those awakening cells needed, instead of what was the original source. At first, Meiyi's cells started to resist, but the corruption was not something the bloodline cells of a fallen deity could compare with, after all, the attribute behind that power was tyranny.

The purple bloodline cells were corrupted and started to transform into something stronger. But the whole operation Seth was riskily doing was already fated to fail. He hadn't forgotten about it, but no one except him was actually able to hold that power and live after being transformed by it.

Even Allannia, the elven general that was fascinated by the power she received after being corrupted, ended up dying at the end. At that time, she had achieved the Mana Sovereign Realm, but it was not enough to support her body and mind, maintaining it intact.

Seth's action of infusing corruption inside Meiyi's body, was practically putting a time bomb inside of her.

"Seth... Are you sure you're..." Lexi's voice suddenly resounded in his mind, trying to give him a last warning that he was about to do something risky.

With his new control over the corruption, he still could take it all back, not putting Meiyi in that risky spot, but he didn't seem like he would retreat.

"Lexi... Looking at her condition is what makes me feel more pain. If this method can release her from that suffering, then I don't mind sacrificing myself for that."

Lexi didn't understand what he was currently implying with those words, but his next actions showed her what kind of madness he was talking about.

Seth suddenly created a Sound Isolation Barrier around the room and after that, he activated his Soul Link connection with Meiyi to its fullest. Through that connection, his Soul Mist started to flow towards her body, mixing inside the process happening with her bloodline cells.

"What are you doing?! You're crazy! Stop!" Lexi tried to make him stop, but Seth was already determined to do that.

His action was akin to putting small pieces of his soul inside Meiyi's new bloodline cells. However, if it was just a temporary process or if his Soul Mist returned to his body later, like what happened with his Specter of Darkness, there would be no major problems. But what Seth was doing, was literally giving her, his Soul Essence Mist.

In other words, he was ripping his own soul and feeding it to the corruption, making it recognize it was him; the one that had prevailed.

When his Soul Essence Mist started to enter as a material in that process, Seth felt like he was being tortured with a searing knife. He tried to resist it, but he inevitably failed to control his voice and started to scream loudly. If anyone were to hear those painful screams, they would definitely get horrified, thinking about the things that might be happening inside that room.

Seth was about to fall down on the floor while agonizing in pain, but with sheer determination, he forced his body to stay standing, while he kept feeding more and more of his Soul Essence Mist to Meiyi. Every time he did that, the pain intensified.

He was lucky that the quantity and time he had to do that, didn't exceed a minute and when he felt it was enough, he stopped feeding her his own Soul and fell on the ground, powerless. It was like all the energies and stamina he possessed, were fully drained in that single minute.

Lexi didn't know how to properly react to that. It was the second time he was ripping a piece of his soul and feeding it to someone else. If he wasn't a Soul Cultivator and if he didn't have the Hades Manual, he would have been dead by now. That fool seemed to have this impetus to make rash decisions that could lead to a catastrophic failure, but after living day and night with him, Lexi already knew it would be impossible to stop Seth, if the topic was about one of his women.

As Lexi scanned Seth's soul to see the extent of the damage he dealt to himself, Meiyi's body started to twitch on top of the bed. Her body was finally reacting, finally moving after a long time, even though those movements were actually, her suffering from an abrupt change in her constitution.

Suddenly, an ancient unholy aura started to take control of her entire body as the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary bloodline and the Essence of Corruption finally merged.

Meiyi suddenly opened her eyes, that were shinning in a reddish-purple color that would make anyone that looked directly into them, think thrice before deciding to go against her. At that same time, her eyes were awakening some bloodline abilities, since her body constitution was being enhance.

However, even though her eyes were open, she was still unconscious.

She was passing through a process just like the one Seth had passed through, when he first acquired the Seed of Tyranny. Her body was getting stronger and stronger, but differently from Seth's absurd build, Meiyi's body was getting more beautiful. Her beauty was reaching an ethereal level, where only a few women were able to step into, but at the same time, developing abilities related to the merging energies.

Her eyes were now giving a charming feeling, that could pretty much bewitch anyone and her Illusive Ethereal Mist had acquired an enticing and charmful feeling. Actually, those were the new abilities the transformation had provided her. Her old bloodline abilities were awakened and kept as well, so the corruption of her bloodline had just given her a new strength.

The Illusive Ethereal Bloodline abilities were centered around a purple mist that could disguise a practitioner's presence with that ethereal fog; confuse the enemies and create illusions; movement through the mist and quickly change positions, as well as attack the opponent with that strange purple fog. Those were the abilities the Illusive Ethereal Goddess could pass down to her descendants. Abilities stronger than that were already considered God-tier skills and she wasn't able to pass them down.

However, even though Meiyi was able to use those skills now, she didn't know how to. Apart from the most intuitive ones, like attacking with the mist, her charming aura and some of her ocular skills, Meiyi didn't even know she had the other ones. That knowledge wasn't something that could be inherited. It had to be imparted to her by a mentor from the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary.

Talking about that sect. The situation around there these days was kind of strange. It was too peaceful and calm, totally the opposite of what most powerful sects and entities were feeling at that moment.

Even the most calm and tranquil entity, the Lake Goddess, had given her disciple an extensive training course and secluded herself to think and prepare for some of the upcoming events. Naturally, she had already done what must've been done and now, it was up to those other individuals she had encountered with, over the course of the last few days.

At the Illusive Ethereal Main Sanctuary, the Illusive Ethereal Goddess was one with all the purple mist hovering in the air inside that mysterious building. However, something abruptly changed.

Actually, it wasn't something physical, but a sensation she suddenly had. One of the two links she had created, the ones that were able to give her a vague information about the bloodline leakage, had just disappeared.

However, that link vanishing, could represent that the person had died, but the way it had vanished was what made her feel alarmed. When an individual she was tracking died, the link would undo itself in a single second, but this time, the link started to disappear gradually, as if it was changing to something else. That was what made her feel terrified.

Something had changed her bloodline.. To change it, it must've been at least a power that was at the divine level.
