Even if it was a first-rate bloodline …
This kind of first-rate bloodline might have been something the previous Mafa Merlin, or even the entire Merlin Family could only dream of.
But to Lin Yun, it was a kind of restriction. What Lin Yun wanted couldn't be given by a first-rate bloodline!
Thus, as that drop of Destruction Black Dragon Blood fused into his body, a bloodline that had been slumbering for a long time was about to awaken. At the same time, the Magic Array within Lin Yun's body started revolving at a very fast speed. Before that slumbering bloodline could awaken, Lin Yun immediately drew that drop of Destruction Black Dragon Blood into his Magic Array.
Then, Lin Yun's face instantly turned deathly pale.
The power contained within the Destruction Black Dragon Blood was berserk and blazing. Once it was drawn into the Magic Array, it was like crazily flowing lava, instantly causing a terrifying impact on the Magic Array.
This was a kind of pain that ordinary people couldn't even imagine.
To Lin Yun, the Magic Array wasn't just a Magic Conducting Rune, it was also Lin Yun's second heart. The first heart provided blood for his body, while the second heart provided power for his magic. Now, that drop of scalding Destruction Black Dragon Blood suddenly poured into his second heart, and the power contained within was like poison to the Magic Array. As soon as it came into contact with it, over a thousand runes were shattered. After all, these runes were something that Lin Yun had spent a lot of time and energy to fuse with the Magic Array. But now, all that time and energy had been turned into nothingness by this impact.
And it was only for an instant.
Lin Yun knew that the moment of true danger had arrived. If he couldn't suppress that drop of Destruction Black Dragon Blood, not only would that dormant first-rate bloodline awaken, but even his Magic Array might thoroughly collapse. This would mean that his magic path would be severed.
Lin Yun endured the pain and started doing his best to control the Magic Array, doing his best to fuse the previously dissipated runes back together. But at the same time, even more runes dissipated under the impact of the Destruction Black Dragon Blood. Lin Yun kept pouring mana into it, repeating the same task, but the Magic Array was never complete. Lin Yun knew that this was a confrontation between bloodline and magic. If he didn't want to be bound by a first-rate bloodline, he would have to pay a huge price.
Time slowly passed, second after second …
Lin Yun's pale face was already covered in sweat.
His hands were tightly clenched into fists, and because he was using too much force, his nails had already sunk deep into his flesh. Blood was flowing through his fingers and dripping onto the altar.
William Merlin, who was next to him, was extremely anxious.
This was the first time William saw his younger cousin in such pain. After all, even after entering Vaughn's laboratory and fighting an Archmage, Mafa Merlin had only patted the dust off his robe. Even after leading everyone out of that dead plane and escaping from that boundless cemetery, Mafa Merlin's younger cousin had only paled a bit.
The impression Mafa Merlin gave him was that he was always calm and confident, always playing down the situation. William couldn't even remember when his younger cousin had lost his composure.
But now, William Merlin could clearly see that his younger cousin, who had never lost his composure, was showing an extremely painful expression on the altar.
'What should I do, what should I do …'
The more William Merlin watched, the more anxious he became. He wanted to go up, but he didn't dare to. He could only anxiously pace back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.
"This shouldn't be …" William Merlin couldn't understand how a simple Bloodline Ceremony could end up like this.
After all, the Merlin Family's Bloodline Ceremony had been passed down for millennia. William Merlin knew that Leon Merlin, Aube Merlin, and Ross Merlin had all gone through the Bloodline Ceremony, but he had never heard of any of them being like his younger cousin, having such a painful Bloodline Ceremony.
'What the hell is going on …'
Just as William Merlin was thinking about it, a shocking mana fluctuation came from the altar. In that split second, it felt as if a gale had swept up the entire temple, and even that raging flame seemed to be swaying due to the sudden gale.
'What's going on?' William Merlin was startled. He promptly rubbed his eyes and raised his head to look at the altar.
Then …
William saw the boundless magic runes rising up, as if encountering a huge vortex, transforming into a multi-colored tornado in the air. The entire scene lasted for no less than ten minutes before it returned to Lin Yun's body with a "whooshing" sound.
'This is …' William Merlin was stunned when he saw this scene.
'This is the Magic Conducting Rune fusing, the sign of entering the High Mage realm!
'But, didn't Cousin Mafa already enter the High Mage realm?
How could he only fuse his Magic Conducting Runes now?
'Could it be that Cousin Mafa didn't truly fuse his Magic Conducting Runes when he entered the High Mage realm?
'This …
'Isn't this a bit too frightening?'
William Merlin was a High Mage himself, so how could he not know what kind of frightening power the fusion of Magic Conducting Runes would bring to a High Mage? Cousin Mafa was already frightening enough, what kind of abnormal level would he reach if he fused his Magic Conducting Runes?
'Moreover, wouldn't that be too much?'
At that time, William Merlin's fusion of nine Magic Conducting Runes took less than ten seconds.
It was said that Ross Merlin, who possessed the strongest Magic Conducting Rune of the Merlin Family, the Endless Spring, only lasted a minute.
What kind of concept was ten minutes …
William Merlin felt his scalp going numb as he thought about it.
"What is it?" At this time, Lin Yun had already finished fusing his Magic Conducting Rune and was walking down the altar with a smile on his face. He couldn't help asking William Merlin with a smile on his face.
"No … It's nothing." William Merlin subconsciously shook his head, but he couldn't help sneaking a glance at that young High Mage.
He looked no different from usual, as if he had a well-thought-out card up his sleeves. He still had that unchanging smile on his face, but for some reason, William Merlin felt that the person standing in front of him wasn't an ordinary person, but rather an insurmountable mountain.
"Oh right, Cousin … Did you complete the Bloodline Ceremony?"
"It should be considered done …" Lin Yun chuckled. He didn't explain much and only led William Merlin away from this empty temple.
'What do you mean it should be considered done …' William Merlin couldn't help muttering inwardly as he followed behind.
'Completed is completed, not completed is not completed, how could there be such a thing as completed?'
William Merlin didn't think that even Lin Yun himself didn't know whether the Bloodline Ceremony was completed or not.
Previously, Lin Yun had exhausted all his power to make his Magic Array suppress that drop of Destruction Black Dragon Blood. Taking advantage of that opportunity, he fused the ten Magic Arrays into one and stepped into the High Mage realm in one go.
From this point, Lin Yun had indeed succeeded.
But strangely, that drop of Destruction Black Dragon Blood didn't continue wreaking havoc, nor did it disappear. Instead, it fused with the Magic Array.
The state of the Magic Array was very strange. Not to mention Anderfa, who had been residing in the Magic Array, there was now another drop of Destruction Black Dragon Blood. Even Lin Yun couldn't tell what kind of state the Magic Array was in.
After thinking about it, he could only wait until the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel was completed.
After all, after the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel was completed, Enderfa, who was residing in the Magic Array, would have no choice but to change his location. At that time, he could slowly study that drop of Destruction Black Dragon Blood.
It was already evening when the two left the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land. Under the setting sun, the two followed that rugged mountain path and once again passed through the dense fog, returning to the shore of the Fallen Star Lake.
Whether it was Lin Yun or William Merlin, they didn't know that over twenty Archmages were gathered in one of the Guardian Towers. They were sitting around a long table, and the one sitting on the other side of the table was emitting a wisp of Extraordinary Aura.
"Sir Balakra already said that we have to figure out who is the descendant holding the Bloodline Ceremony today …"
"Impossible, hasn't Sir Balakra not spoken for a few hundred years? The last time he spoke was because of that monster, Santon Merlin. Oh right, who knows where Santon Merlin is now? He has been wandering in the depths of the Ancestral Land for close to two hundred years, right?"
"Who knows, the last time someone saw Santon Merlin, he was in the Blood Moon Plane, I don't know what he was looking for …"
"Ah, isn't it the Shadow Plane? How did it become the Blood Moon Plane? Fuck, that lunatic Santon Merlin wouldn't be thinking of dealing with those Vampires, right?"
"That's hard to say, everyone knows that Santon Merlin's mind isn't normal …"
"Alright, quiet down …" That Elder, who was already emitting a wisp of Extraordinary Aura, had been resting with his eyes closed. When everyone started going off-topic, he coughed and interfered, "Let's talk about that youngster today. I believe everyone has already felt the mana fluctuations coming from the temple, that isn't an ordinary High Mage …"
