Chapter 1220: T0-Level Bloodline Secret Art! Purple Nightmare Scripture!

Source Points -10!

62nd layer of secret pattern deciphered!

Source Points -40!

70th layer of secret pattern deciphered!

Source Points -100!

81st layer of secret pattern deciphered!

Source Points are continuously deducted, and each layer of secret pattern is deciphered in turn.

Source Points -2000!

107th layer of secret pattern deciphered!

Within the inheritance realm, as Xu Jingming made his final stroke.

The entire stone tablet violently trembled, purple light blazed fiercely, and the 107th secret pattern was perfectly deciphered!

"Correct. Enter the final trial."

A majestic voice echoed through the void, and Xu Jingming couldn't help but exhale deeply.

Fortunately, his system panel still had enough Source Points left; otherwise, he would have missed this Sovereign-level inheritance.

"I still have 7,421 Source Points left. Hopefully, I can decipher the final layer."

Xu Jingming silently thought to himself.

If he failed at the final layer, the joke would be too big.

Whoosh—

The secret patterns on the tablet flowed and reorganized like living things, finally forming the 108th ultimate secret pattern.

This pattern was a hundred times more complex than any previous one; just one glance made one dizzy and disoriented.

So Xu Jingming chose not to look.

"Deep Blue!"

He mentally whispered, and the familiar system panel appeared in his mind.

【Current secret pattern deciphering progress: 0%】

【Source Points required to decipher pattern: 6,500】

"Requires 6,500 Source Points?"

Xu Jingming's eyes glinted slightly.

It would take him two days on Black Stone Star to gather that much.

But now, for this Sovereign-level inheritance, it was nothing.

"Decipher!"

With a thought, his Source Points instantly emptied.

In an instant, Xu Jingming felt his consciousness pulled into a strange space.

Countless purple threads wove through the void, each representing a trajectory of energy flow.

His mind raced at high speed through this space, imprinting the path of every thread into his memory.

When his consciousness returned to reality, a brilliant light flashed in his eyes.

The method to decipher the 108th secret pattern was now fully clear within him!

"I claim this Sovereign-level inheritance!"

Xu Jingming raised both hands, his ten fingers dancing like butterflies among flowers.

Purple energy coalesced in the air with each movement, gradually forming a secret pattern identical to the one on the tablet.

"Hum—"

At the moment the two patterns perfectly overlapped, the entire tablet exploded violently!

Countless purple sparks burst from the shattered stones, coalescing in the void into a colossal purple pillar stretching from earth to sky.

Within the pillar, a hazy figure gradually took shape.

"Sixty thousand years... finally, someone has awakened me."

A deep voice, like ancient thunder, reverberated through the entire space.

The figure grew clearer and clearer, finally fully manifesting before Xu Jingming.

He was a towering man over three meters tall, clad in black battle armor.

His eyes were like twin purple suns, radiating suffocating pressure.

Merely standing there, the surrounding space twisted and shattered under unbearable weight.

"Sovereign-level powerhouse!" Xu Jingming's heart trembled.

This was an aura utterly transcending that of Immortal Gods!

It felt as if a single word, a single glance from him, could erase Xu Jingming instantly!

The Purple Nightmare Sovereign's gaze settled on Xu Jingming; those purple eyes seemed to pierce through all things.

"Bone age: 22, Starlight Stage Seven, Thunder Domain Fifteenth Layer, Destruction Domain Eighth Layer..."

The Purple Nightmare Sovereign's voice carried a hint of surprise, "Even more remarkable—you deciphered all the secret patterns in such a short time.

In my era, I have never seen a prodigy like you."

Xu Jingming forced back the discomfort from the Sovereign's pressure and bowed respectfully: "Disciple Xu Jingming, pays homage to Elder Purple Nightmare."

Clearly, this was the Sovereign who had died on Black Stone Star.

His figure had no physical form, faintly translucent—apparently merely a residual spiritual projection.

"No need for formalities."

The Purple Nightmare Sovereign slightly raised his hand, and a gentle force lifted Xu Jingming up.

He looked at Xu Jingming, a pair of purple eyes filled with undisguised admiration:

"Having passed the 108-layered secret-pattern trial, you are qualified to receive my inheritance."

As he spoke, he waved his right hand, and a tome entirely purple in color instantly materialized in the void.

Mysterious secret patterns flowed across the surface of the tome, and the four ancient, austere characters "Purple Nightmare Demon Tome" could faintly be seen.

"This is the T0-grade bloodline secret art *Purple Nightmare Demon Tome*, created from the lifelong efforts of my heart."

Pride colored the Purple Nightmare Sovereign's voice. "It allows an ordinary human to obtain a demon race bloodline by absorbing demon essence blood and demonic energy, thereby gaining the combat power of a true demon."

Xu Jingming's heart gave a jolt.

T0-grade!

This was a secret tome seven major grades higher than T7-grade!

Moreover, this was an exceedingly rare bloodline secret art, one that could grant him a bloodline like that of the Giant Spirit race's Lei Meng!

Across the entire Noah Empire, it was likely impossible to find any inheritance that could rival it.

But the problem arose.

Secret tomes above T7-grade required the Star Rank to cultivate.

Could he, a mere Star Radiance Seventh Rank, cultivate this T0-grade secret tome?

As if he had read the doubt in Xu Jingming's mind, the Purple Nightmare Sovereign chuckled lightly:

"Bloodline secret arts have no requirement for comprehension of Laws; even if you are at the Star Radiance Rank, you can still cultivate them.

As for the effects after successful cultivation..."

Before his words had finished, purple light blazed brilliantly around him.

His originally three-meter-tall body began to swell, and in the blink of an eye transformed into a purple demon god over five meters tall!

Six wings sprouted from the demon god's back, a pair of curved demon horns grew from its forehead, and a long tail trailed behind it.

Its entire body was covered in crystalline, translucent purple scale armor, with mysterious secret patterns inscribed on every single scale.

A terrifying pressure, as if solid, seemed to make the entire space begin to collapse.

"This is the form after the *Purple Nightmare Demon Tome* reaches Great Completion — the Purple Nightmare Demon God Body."

The Purple Nightmare Sovereign's voice rumbled like heavenly thunder:

"In those years, relying on this art, I once single-handedly held my own against three Sovereigns of the same rank without falling behind!"

Xu Jingming gazed up at that purple demon god that seemed to pierce through heaven and earth, his heart shaken beyond measure.

This kind of might was tens of thousands of times stronger than any immortal god he had ever seen!

The Purple Nightmare Sovereign reined in his aura and reverted to his human form.

He pointed with one finger, and the *Purple Nightmare Demon Tome* turned into a streak of purple light and sank into Xu Jingming's brow.

"The *Purple Nightmare Demon Tome* is divided into nine layers. The first entry layer cultivates the Purple Nightmare Demon Body.

Each subsequent layer you cultivate will allow your bloodline power to be refined and advanced.

Cultivate to the ninth layer, and you can achieve the Purple Nightmare Demon God Body, possessing combat power comparable to that of a Sovereign!"

A massive amount of information exploded in Xu Jingming's mind, and he instantly understood the terrifying aspects of this secret art.

This was not merely a simple transformation art, but an entire complete bloodline evolution system!

"Cultivating this art requires extremely high comprehension. Judging by the speed at which you deciphered the 108 secret patterns,

this should not be able to stop you, however..."

The Purple Nightmare Sovereign's tone suddenly grew solemn. "Cultivating the Purple Nightmare Demon Tome requires absorbing large amounts of demon essence blood and demonic energy.

The stronger the demon essence blood, the better the cultivation effect, but correspondingly, the higher the risk.

Once you cannot control the erosion of demonic energy, the lesser outcome is going mad from qi deviation, the greater outcome is transforming into a demonic creature that knows only slaughter."
