Cursed Immortality

Jacob had no clue what happened in Dead Faction as he followed the maker on the map where Free Sword had hidden the legendary key. However, even with the flying ship's Mach-5 top speed, a month had passed since he left the Unique Plains, yet he was still only halfway there.

That's why, after making sure he was not being followed or there wasn't any danger, he started to comprehend the Immortal Chapter two weeks ago. With his current soul force, Jacob can only peer into the Immortal Chapter mysterious for 45 seconds in 24 hours.

Since he needed eight hours to recover his soul force and Immortika summoning time was 24 hours before the 24-hour cooldown period, Jacob also discovered that the Spirit Tree Nectar really affected his soul force recovery.

A 500ml bottle of Spirit Tree Nectar can reduce the recovery time from eight hours to one hour; this makes Jacob desire the nectar or any soul medicine even more. Still, he didn't dare to use those remaining bottles anymore and kept them for emergency situations only.

Other than that, Jacob was focused on the Immortal Chapter and the path toward the legendary key.

Today, Jacob again summoned Cursed Immortality, opened the Immortal Chapter, and looked at the blood drop on the page with a somewhat gloomy expression.

'It's been two weeks and I finally managed to count those blood colored glyphs, they are total of 99 glyphs and not only they are different in size, there seemed to be some kind of power that stopped me from approaching them.

'Just like the first day when I tried to approach the largest glyph, I was instantly struck with pain in my head and had to stop using the Eyes of Judge, and even my soul force recovery took a full day.

'According to this cursed book, 'I shouldn't chew more than I can handle.' Since then, I've only been observing those glyphs and finally found all this information.'

'Now, I know they all had different sizes. I'll try approaching the smallest one, and let's hope I'll make progress. Or I don't think my current level of Eyes of Judge is enough to find the mysteries of those blood glyphs…'

Calming his mind, Jacob took a deep breath and then opened the Eyes of Judge. His eyes turned completely golden, and his pupils turned into white flames.

The very next moment, Jacob found himself being pulled into the drop of blood before he appeared in a familiar crimson surroundings. He was extremely familiar with this place now.

Without wasting a single second, Jacob's eyes darted around, and there were blood-colored glyphs that he now called the Blood Glyphs of many sizes. The thing was, these blood glyphs always appeared in random arrangement every time he came to this place, so it took him two weeks to gather all this information.

After all, he only had 15 seconds on each try, so he had a very hard time just counting them accurately.

Jacob finally spotted his target in five seconds, which was like the smallest star in the starry sky. In his vision, it was only around 1 centimeter in size, while the largest among these glyphs was 100 meters in size, which was impossible to approach.

With just a thought, Jacob's vision began to approach the smallest glyph. Once he was in front of it, he felt boundless pressure from it, making his blood run cold. Still gritting his teeth, he tried to grab it.

As he approached this glyph, he felt like he was trying to grab the sky, infinity, far away from him. But like a mad devil, he didn't give up and continued with all his willpower.

He had already experienced this kind of oppression from the biggest blood glyph, which was akin to a sun in front of this smallest glyph; just by approaching it, Jacob was sent out directly.

But with this smallest blood glyph, he didn't instantly send out, so he knew he was on the right path, so he didn't give up.

Jacob forgot about the time and focused solely on approaching the smallest blood glyph; it was like climbing up in a raging waterfall.

At this moment, just when Jacob felt a strange sensation of grabbing something, his vision suddenly blurred, and the crimson surroundings changed into a bright room.

Blood was streaming from his eye sockets and nose, and without any further action, he found his vision turning dark and falling on the floor.

The cursed immortality page turned at this moment, and Immortika's laugh filled the page: "…haha… he's progressing much faster than I've anticipated. Maybe he's able to pull it off. Or more entertainment for me, hahahahaha!" The words appeared as quickly as they vanished.

Jacob didn't know about any of this, as he was in a strange dream where he saw rivers of blood flowing everywhere. Right in the center of this ghastly scene, he spotted a blood-

red symbol he was very familiar with. It was the symbol of Infinity!

He didn't know why. He felt extremely close to the infinity symbol and approached it, but right at this moment, something within the infinity symbol awakened, and before Jacob could understand anything, the dream shattered, and he opened his eyes!

"The path of Cursed Blood flows like an infinite loop, vast and endless…" Jacob suddenly muttered this phrase before ecstasy filled his heart.

He didn't care about his bloody appearance; he was too occupied with this strange information in his brain. So, he quickly sat down, closed his eyes, and focused on that vague information, desperately trying to understand it.

Jacob forgot about the time, and three days had passed since he had just sat like a statue.

At this moment, his eyes opened as he muttered, "I just touched that blood glyph, yet I managed to get this much information and only understand a tiny portion of it. I finally understand why I need to comprehend this all within the immortal chapter.

"All I manage to get is the information about the Immortal Chapter. Who could've thought that it is actually divided into different parts, and each part will grant me a pinnacle level of control over blood as well as grant me terrifying connate abilities with the infinite growth potential of Cursed Bloodline!"

Just thinking about it made Jacob's heart race, and he wanted to instantly go back to the Immortal Chapter and grab that smallest blood glyph again.
