My Descendants Are My Power

"Impossible!" Austin's mind reeled, a chilling sense of dread washing over him as if he'd been unknowingly watched for years.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"How could he know my Kylin Mountain treasury so well?"

Ethan's actions were unbelievably swift.

In just a few moments, after obtaining the key and opening the treasury, the tide of the battle raging between the Kylin Mountain clan, the Lord of Frenzied Blood, and the Kirin, shifted drastically.

The Roberts clan members and elders were stunned.

The Kirin, still trying to suppress the Lord of Frenzied Blood, saw its illusory form flicker and dim.

Before vanishing completely, it roared furiously towards Austin's courtyard, "Who? Who dares touch my physical form? Austin, what use are you as clan leader?!"

"What?!"

The elders surrounding the Lord of Frenzied Blood froze.

In that instant, the Lord of Frenzied Blood broke free from the Kirin's restraints, his power surging back.

He seized the opportunity, slashing down an elder with a single blow!

"Fall back! Use the formations!"

The sudden turn of events sent the elders and disciples, who had been hoping to trap and kill the Lord of Frenzied Blood, scrambling.

Having witnessed his terrifying power, they no longer dared to engage him directly, instead yelling towards the back mountain.

"Clan Leader, what's happening? Why has the sacred beast disappeared?!"

"Austin, what have you done?"

"The Kylin Heavenly Crystal, used to summon the sacred beast, is in the treasury. That traitor Austin handed the key to the enemy… The treasury!"

The Roberts elders were quick-witted.

They instantly guessed what had transpired in the back mountain.

But what could they do?

Their Clan Leader, Austin, a Basic Mastery expert, had lost the clan's sacred beast to the enemy… They could only watch helplessly!

"Hmph."

The Lord of Frenzied Blood glanced at the Roberts elders.

Seeing them activate their defensive formations, he knew killing them would be difficult now.

He sheathed his blade, confident they wouldn't dare attack him again.

He walked slowly towards the back mountain, the blood from the corpses he passed flowing into his body like water.

As he flew towards the back mountain, he frowned, looking up at the sky above Kylin Mountain Roberts.

He could sense them.

Although the experts from Sunshine Mansion didn't have enough time to arrive physically, their Competent Forces and Primordial Spirits had descended, observing everything happening within Kylin Mountain.

…

It all happened so fast.

Ethan didn't even have time to examine the treasury's contents.

Using his psychic powers, he swept everything into his Storage Ring.

The sheer size of the Kylin Mountain Roberts' treasury was astounding, at least ten thousand square meters.

At its heart lay a crystal containing the body of a Kirin.

Ethan guessed this must be the 'Kylin Heavenly Crystal' Austin mentioned.

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

The Lord of Frenzied Blood arrived from the foot of the mountain and bowed respectfully to Ethan.

Ethan looked at him.

The Lord of Frenzied Blood stood about six feet tall, dressed in black pants and boots, his bare upper body covered in demonic markings.

His muscles were powerful, though not overly defined.

He had the face of a handsome young man, perpetually frowning, his eyes entirely black, from pupil to sclera.

His gray hair was cut short.

After all these years, the Lord of Frenzied Blood had come to see himself as a member of Blackwood, addressing Ethan as 'Ancestor.'

"You've done well. If you hadn't distracted the Kylin Mountain Roberts' Psychics and formations, I wouldn't have been able to get close to Austin." Ethan smiled faintly.

The Lord of Frenzied Blood remained stoic, though a hint of a smile flickered across his face.

"It was my duty to serve the family. Besides, I am immortal, so it wasn't much of a hardship. However, Ancestor… while you and I are fine, I'm afraid it won't be easy for them to leave."

He gestured towards the caged birds behind Ethan, who were slowly dispelling their defensive formations, and then pointed at the sky.

"Indeed, it won't be easy." Ethan nodded slowly.

He knew that infiltrating Kylin Mountain was easy.

He understood that the Heavenly Path Venerable had only managed to cripple Blackwood all those years ago because of the element of surprise.

Similarly, he and the Lord of Frenzied Blood could do as they pleased within the Heavenly Path Venerable's domain.

The real challenge was getting Edward and the thousand chirping caged birds behind him out of Sunshine Mansion and away from the Heavenly Path Venerable's pursuit.

He looked at the caged birds.

Austin had already fled, his whereabouts unknown, but the birds were still filled with rage, searching for him.

These Rising Stars must have suffered similar hardships at the hands of the Heavenly Path Venerable.

Years of humiliation had filled them with hatred for Austin and the Heavenly Path Venerable!

"Everyone, rescuing you wasn't easy. I believe we all share the same goal."

As Ethan spoke, all eyes turned to him.

He saw the determination in their eyes, and a small smile played on his lips.

"So, if I can save you, if I can grant you the hope of revenge, what are you willing to offer Blackwood in return?"

Offer in return?!

The atmosphere in Kylin Mountain turned colder.

Lightning crackled in the dark clouds that lingered after the Lord of Frenzied Blood's battle.

The eyes of the caged birds glowed red.

After decades, centuries, even millennia of blood feuds and humiliation, what wouldn't they offer?

Everything!!!

…

In the sky, having fled Kylin Mountain, Austin's Primordial Spirit had converged with the Competent Forces and Primordial Spirits of his many projections.

He glared down at Kylin Mountain.

"Damn it! Damn it!!!"

Austin roared.

He was one of the oldest projections of the Heavenly Path Venerable.

For thousands of years, he had hidden within Kylin Mountain, becoming its revered ancestor.

He had orchestrated everything in Sunshine Mansion, always scheming from the shadows.

He had always been meticulous, his plans flawless.

But today, he felt utterly humiliated!

That mysterious black mist figure from Blackwood had used his own tactics against him, catching him off guard, invading his Kylin Mountain, and stealing everything from his treasury… including the Kylin Heavenly Crystal, the key to his projection's breakthrough to Advanced Mastery!

And his collection… those were supposed to be his nourishment for his advancement to Advanced Mastery…

"Kill him! Get my things back!" Austin's eyes narrowed.

"Don't let a single one of those Rising Stars escape!"

His head trembled, a physical manifestation of his rage… and fear.

"Yes!"

The Competent Forces and Primordial Spirits unanimously agreed.

Although some were disappointed that Austin hadn't been killed, they couldn't disobey his command now.

They were afraid too.

That bastard Austin had captured a thousand Rising Stars.

They couldn't imagine the disaster that would unfold if they all escaped!

In an instant, all the Heavenly Path Venerable's projections in Sunshine Mansion sprang into action.

But then, Austin and all his projections froze, staring at Kylin Mountain in disbelief.

Countless black figures were swarming out of the mountain like ants from a disturbed nest.

Cries of alarm echoed from within Kylin Mountain.

"AI Bionic Robots… They're all AI Bionic Robots!"
