The Sect Leader and Fifth had no choice to back down because they understood fully well that any further action at this point would be perceived as a threat against her master by Little Ming, thus they opted to wait…

Meanwhile, Min Hong who had just returned from comprehending an Essence Level Flame Law, sat cross-legged within the sarcophagus and began to contemplate many things, with one of them being his safety…

If some Essence Level Expert or anyone by some mysterious way discovered that he had an Essence Level Dao within him, then he would be dead for sure, thus he had to device a way of keeping it a secret…

But all of that can wait till after he had broken through to the Peak of Awakening Stage and formed Nascent Souls from every Daos he had comprehended…

Thus Min Hong simply spread out his mental sense, and it covered a region of about 10 miles with him at the center…

That was how overpowered Min Hong was at the moment… From that mental sense, he sent out a message to the trio outside;

"Sorry, for the ruckus… I am fine, and my breakthroughs are just about to begin…"

"Breakthroughs?"

The Sect Leader and Fifth were so stunned by Min Hong's sentence because he had said 'Breakthroughs' and not 'Breakthrough', and whilst Min Hong had a total battle power of a 2 Star Saint Stage expert before he attempted any breakthrough, the duo were very interested in how strong Min Hong could get after he had broken through…

Thus, the sect leader waved his sleeves, and a very thick spatial barrier covered the entire mountain as they all stood guard till Min Hong finishes his 'Breakthroughs'…

Min Hong who could sense what was going on outside gave a wry smile as he focused on cultivation;

"Firstly - The Body!"

Min Hong spoke as his oversized, Flame Dao Branch dropped a leaf which stood at the base of his meridians, as Min Hong began to absorb the Qi in the area, and thankfully, there were more than enough Mid and High Grade Spirit Stones with him, as well as enormous amounts of other resources containing Qi…

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Swoosh!

A whirlpool spun to life above Min Hong's head as the thick misty Qi within the Main Court, and one must understand that the level of Qi quality and thickness in this place almost rivals that of a Mid-grade Spirit Stone mine…

These Qi then began to enter Min Hong through the spot between his brows; the location where one of his Eight Great Meridians was located, and also where the Essence Level Dao Leaf was, and as a result, as these potent Qi entered Min Hong and passed through the leaf, they were instantly converted into Essence Level Flame Qi which rumbled its way into Min Hong's physical body, tempering it from every layer…

His skin, tendons, muscles, tissues, bones, blood, and even marrows were being tempered by Essence Level Flames, and not even an ordinary one, or the one the world knew to be the strongest…

It was from the new strongest flame in existence;

The Undying Flame, The Eternal Flame, The Rebirth Flame, The Unquenchable Flame and The Precursor Flames [Yes, this was the first of its kind and was stronger than every one that had come before it…]

These Flames then surged into the deepest recess of Min Hong's constitution and melted the seal imprisoning his sinister bloodline…

Boom!

The locked bloodline which had been raring to go burst forth from its confines and surged madly into Min Hong's body…

The moment this happened, the high and bright blue moon in the sky began to slowly turn blood red, and the moment this happened, every single expert whose bloodline wasn't as evil as Min Hong's felt their bloodlines begin to recede back to their depths in fear of the new bloodline that was awakening, and as a result, Min Hong's awakening was given more priority, because he was the only one currently being influenced by the forming blood moon…

Like a billion different unique beasts on a stampede, this unique and sinister bloodline trampled across Min Hong's physical body before surging into his 'Dawn Sovereign Bloodline' tainting it in the process, heading towards the dragon tattoos and giving them a dose of itself, before it formed its own single unique dragon tattoo…

But that wasn't where it all ended; this new bloodline, though nameless at this point was one that was tied to Min Hong's Qi cultivation and not the Body Cultivation, but because this was the Awakening stage, it's seal broke and it was released…

Meanwhile…

Within another dimension immeasurably far away from here was a floating continent, and on this continent was a massive tower, within this tower laid a necropolis which had a bungalow at its center, and within this bungalow was a man in his late forties, staring at a lamp which had a multicolored tongue of flame…

The colors on this tongue of flame were; white, gold, blue, purple, red and black… But the black part of this flame which was at the base, was already spreading across and had already tainted the red part of it…

The red part was already turning pitch black, and from the way it was going, it seemed to be following the rate at which the moon over Min Hong's head was turning blood red…

The more this two phenomenon happened, the more the bloodline within Min Hong surged, and in fact, it had already left Min Hong's body and was now going towards his Dao tree, its first targets being the Darkness and Death Dao branches within Min Hong…

Min Hong who had also sensed the nature of the bloodline allowed the Primus Dao Tree to let it taint these Daos, and the moment it was done, Min Hong urged the energy away from the Dao Tree, and when it didn't want to comply, Min Hong sent the Essence Level Flame Dao Branch after it, and after just a brief agonizing encounter with the Rebirth Flames, the bloodline heed Min Hong's command with haste and headed towards his soul…

Min Hong's current soul was invisible, but it was still split in half even in its invisible form, and thus, Min Hong simply urged the surging bloodline towards the purple art of his soul as Min Hong watched a unique transformation occur…

As the bloodline surged into this part of his soul, Min Hong watched as the pitch black blood tainted the purple flamed aspect of his soul, driving it upwards whilst it took over the other half of his soul body, and by the time it was done, Min Hong's soul was now; half golden and half black...

The golden part was having a white and green eye, whilst the pitch black part had an eye that was blurting out intense purple devil flames, with a blood red dot visible within these flames…

The Min Hong saw the left part of his forehead grow a long devilish horn which protruded outwards…

The left side of his mouth grew massive blood sucking fangs and maws, as his left nostrils kept blurting out some sort of smoke which he had no knowledge of what it could do…

Min Hong actually grew a tail, and a purple flaming wing that had a blood red eye at its center and pitch black runes all over it…

All these transformation took Min Hong two days, as his two grandfathers, father and mother watched the transformation happen from the various lamps they were viewing it from...

But at this point, the black part of the flames had already spread past the red part and had tainted the purple part of the flames; a phenomenon which pleased Min Hong's paternal grandfather greatly, but one which instilled worry and fear into his maternal grandfather, father and mother…

The moon atop Min Hong's head was already blood red, and the whirlpool guzzling Qi from the surroundings was now in full throttle as all the mist within the Core Court and Main Court was already cleared...

Then as if sensing that the energy Min Hong needed might not be enough, the Sect Leader threw all the Spirit Stones he had on his person into the whirlpool; a deed which stunned the other duo that were there…

Fifth then followed suit, and the moment the amount of Qi he was absorbing spiked in quantity, Min Hong understood what had happened, as he revealed all the spirit stones he had in his own possession too, and gradually Min Hong continued to breakthrough into the awakening stage as his aura surged...

Then an eerie, sinister, bloodthirsty and utterly devilish aura weighed down on the entire Desert Sun Sect, spreading outwards and reaching as far as the Sunfire City where many experts were forced to come out of their holes and appear in the clouds, as they all gazed towards the Desert Sun Sect…

"Old Ghost Bai Wang, so you also sensed it… To think something like this could wake you from slumber…"

"Xi Kong, isn't that the reason why you are also out…"

"Shen Zheng and Chun Hai would most likely have awoken from their slumber as well… I guess it is time for our Super Clans unite and begin our conquest…"

Two extremely old men with snow white hairs, crooked body stance and shrunken skin floated over two buildings, and if someone were to look at the duo individually, they would think they were both insane because there was nobody around each of them…

But whilst it seemed like they were both talking to themselves like mad men, if one zoomed out to the extent that they could see a five mile ranged landscape, they would discover that as far as these two old men were from one another, they were facing themselves from miles apart and speaking as if they were in front of each other…
