Condemning the Heavens Chapter 361

Xue Wei looked at his friends with a tender expression on his face. It was only this group of people who could make him feel this warm inside, and he could not help but feel that his current turmoil within his mind was completely uncalled for.

Although he had been feeling panicked, Xue Wei could not help but suddenly experience a calming sensation wash over himself, and his soul was cleansed.

Smiling slightly, Xue Wei stretched his body, and looked at his friends, but he was not eager to tell them what he had encountered.

If the other people back at Chang'an knew of this, they would chase him. The Primordial Beasts for the sake of getting their hands on his bloodline, and the humans to eradicate him as he was a threat to humanity.

But the people in front of him were different. They had not said anything degrading, and they would not be fearful towards Xue Wei either, neither would they be filled with greed.

"I have activated my bloodline," Xue Wei said with a grin, and his words made the others puzzled.

Xue Wei's bloodline was an Azure Dragon. How could he activate his bloodline here in the realm that belonged to a Vermilion Bird God?

Seeing them frowning, Xue Wei's smile increased, and he lifted his hand, after which a vermilion flame appeared on his hand, dancing across his fingers.

The sight was so strange, and the others were shocked. Xue Wei was using wood elemental Qi, not fire elemental Qi!

"You... You unlocked another bloodline?" Hei Gou asked, shocked. This was the only reply he could think of.

Xue Wei grinned and nodded his head before he took a few steps backward, and with a wave of his arms, vermilion feathers appeared on his body, and he turned into a vermilion bird - albeit a small one.

Seeing Xue Wei suddenly change like this and become a vermilion bird, the people were shocked.

Luoluo's jaw dropped so much that a whole egg would fit in her mouth, Lin Xiao rubbed his eyes, Bai Tianyi cocked his head, and Hei Gou gulped.

All of them were shocked and unable to say anything for a short while. They just looked at him, unable to speak.

"Are you still able to become an Azure Dragon?" Hei Gou asked something that confused him, but right at that moment, the vermilion feathers were replaced with azure scales, and the vermilion bird vanished, and a small azure dragon appeared in its stead.

"This is wicked." Lin Xiao finally started grinning. "You are a total monster! Not only are you one sovereign Beast, you just had to have the bloodline of two beasts!"

Luoluo nodded her head in agreement, and she was excited. The stronger her big brother became, the prouder she was, but even she, as a spirit, had never heard of such a situation before.

"We got two options now," Bai Tianyi analyzed the situation. "One is to be as low key as possible, not allow anyone to know about Xue Wei's abnormal bloodline that seems to have mutated and become two sovereign beasts in one.

"Another option is for Xue Wei to proudly announce to the world that he is special. Being able to do that means that he will gather more attention, more people will revere him, but he will also, unfortunately, be a bigger target for others."

"We have hidden enough," Xue Wei said. He looked into the ceiling above and sighed. "I know that we are likely to be hunted by others, I also know that we will be in perilous situations because of my bloodlines, but at the same time, I also feel that it is needed if we want to be able to move forward. Without some pressure and danger, we will never ignite our potential!"

The others were unsure of what to say. They knew that Xue Wei was eager to become stronger at a rapid speed, but at the same time, they also knew that he had held back these days because of not wanting to pressure them.

Xue Wei knew that if they were being hunted again, they would be able to advance by leaps and bounds. But he also knew that it was a decision he could not make alone. Although danger and chances coexisted, he was not willing to risk his friends' life.

"If you feel that it is the best solution, then let's take over the entire Ascended's Realm! Although we are not the strongest within this realm, we will use our power, and together we will be the biggest winner of this adventure! I mean, what can defeat getting another bloodline?"

Xue Wei laughed when he heard this.

"The biggest winner of the Ascended's Realm?" He chuckled. "I guess that can be us. There is a long time until this realm closes, and when it does, we will get our hands on a lot of resources and raise our strength so much that we might actually be able to return to the Chang'an continent and deal with our unfinished business."

He had not forgotten about Wang Xiaoyun, just thinking about her made his heart ache and palpitate at the same time.

There was also Chu Huiyin, whom he wished to kill; just thinking about her made his killing intent leak out.

And finally was Xiao Lei, his so-called uncle. The only one who could tell him about the truth about himself and his origins.

There were many things he needed to solve in Chang'an. But because of his strength being too weak, he was not able to return to the Chang'an continent. Now that his strength had soared and he had become a Saint ranked expert, he could easily return to Chang'an and deal with the people who had previously caused him troubles.

While the group was talking, Xue Wei and the others suddenly noticed a door appearing in the wall.

The room they had been in before had no exits, but they had not been worried. They were likely to go out soon, and when the door appeared, they quickly entered.

What they entered was a massive hall, and there were doors on either side of the hall. Big pillars were framing the hall, shrouding everything with shadows, but when they entered, they suddenly heard a voice coming from the other end of the hall.

"There are other people in here!" someone called out, and Xue Wei, who was taken by surprise, looked at the end of the hall, where a group of seventeen experts was walking towards them.

Seventeen experts were a lot more than them, but their strength was overall weaker. Although they had three Saint ranked experts, these three Saints were weaker than Xue Wei, and the majority were Heavenly Knights.

All of them were wearing white clothes, and a sword was embroidered on their chests.

Looking at them, Xue Wei suddenly felt something through his connection with Bai Tianyi, and when he looked at the sword spirit with shock, he saw that he was filled with hatred, and his expression was contorted in anger.

"Dongfang family!" he spat out, his eyes lit with anger, and he was genuinely struggling to hold himself back.

Xue Wei did not know much about this Dongfang family, but he could hear that they were not friendly with Bai Tianyi. Perhaps they were even one of the families that had caused his downfall back in the days.

Xue Wei could not think of anyone else having such a great hatred with Bai Tianyi.

It was not only Xue Wei who heard Bai Tianyi's call, but the entire hall also heard it, and everyone was alert. There was so much hatred in the voice that the people from the Dongfang family were on high alert.

"This little one, how can you know about our esteemed Dongfang family?" the leader of the group looked at Bai Tianyi with puzzlement. It was but a child, but which child could possibly have such grievances with his family?

The Dongfang family was known to be very righteous; they were known for their ancestors who were guarding the entire world, not just their own continent.

The Dongfang was one of the eight great families, they were spread over the entire world, and their task was to protect the world.

These eight families were the leading families of the world, only rivaled by the four sovereign beast clans. There was competition between them, and although most thought it was innocent competition, the truth was that it was actually not so innocent.

These eight families had fierce competition, and once every ten years, a tournament was held where they gathered to determine the ranking of the eight families.

Also, although these eight human families were seen as the strongest families in the world, it was partly because if a new family arrived, with strength or the potential to rival their family, then they would band together to get rid of them.

No one could challenge the might of the eight great families!

Of course, no one thought that there was anything wrong with their actions. The strong ruled supreme in this world, the weak were sheep for slaughter.

This Dongfang family, who was surprised by Bai Tianyi were very apprehensive. Although they had the advantage of numbers, this group of experts seemed to be quite skilled. Not to mention, the leader of the Dongfang group had informed their team members that he had not been the one to take the final reward, that someone else had beat him in almost every challenge.

If it was just once or twice he had been beaten he would not have thought too much about it, but this was happening time and time again, it was evident that the one who had defeated him was no simple person.

Because of this, and the other unknown variables, he did not want to come into a fight with this strange group of experts.

"Do you want us to fight?" Xue Wei looked at Bai Tianyi and asked. He knew that even though they were stronger, they were also at a significant disadvantage when it came to numbers, but he still had faith in himself and his friends to emerge victoriously.

When hearing the question, the members of the Dongfang family all went alert. Swords appeared in their hands, and they observed Xue Wei and the others guardedly, ready to attack at any moment.

"No," Bai Tianyi sighed. "Although I am very displeased with what the Dongfang family did, these youngsters were not there back then. I will direct my hatred towards those old fogeys who caused all this damage."

Bai Tianyi had calmed down. Although he hated the Dongfang family, he was not going to make his move as long as they did not overstep his boundaries.

They had done nothing right now, so killing them might case someone righteous like Lin Xiao to gain a heart demon. It was not worth it.

However, if they caused problems or if they attacked first, then it would be self-defense, and then it would be no problem to eradicate them all.

Bai Tianyi even wished that these youngsters would have been insulted and would charge at them with their brandished swords, but the Dongfang family leader was holding his entire team back; his eyes were bottomless as he glanced at Bai Tianyi.

Although he had the body of a child, something told him that he was an old monster, someone that could not be judged with common knowledge, and together with the fact that someone else had gotten the final treasure, he could not help but feel that the team was too dangerous.

"Look for the exit!" the leader of the Dongfang finally decided not to fight for the remaining resources within this underground world. They had already gained plenty from the trials, so to retreat now was not a loss for them.

Although some of the people were unhappy, the majority understood his decision, and finally, they retreated, starting to look for an exit from the hall.
