Heretic God's Profound Veins

"By the way, you still haven't told me your name?" Yun Junlin asked plainly. He didn't really expect a useful response. The girl in question was very haughty for a patient. 

"This Princess' name is Jasmine, but you must address me as Great Master!" he frowned hearing this with a weird look on his face. A thirteen something year old girl wanted to addressed as Great Master? If she said something like that back on Earth, the people would seriously laugh to death.

He had to watch his tongue here though, obviously.

"What? You don't want to?" she scowled to which he replied, "Of course not, I still remember my previous Master's face who taught me my medical skills. The word 'Master' reminds me of him as well. You wouldn't want me to remember an old man while talking to you right?" He reasoned with an extremely straight face. 

God, was he good at coming up with bullshit on the spot. He should have pursued a career in Hollywood back on Earth instead of playing with his life in the Navy. 

"Hmph! You can call me Jasmine but you must, must always think of me as your Master in your heart!" to which he just nodded obediently and she gave a look of slight satisfaction before putting on her cold facade again.

"How will you give me those 'Godly' Profound veins though?" he asked with faked curiosity and she still hadn't picked up on any of his dishonesty, at least on the surface. Which was good for him.

"Do you know for what reason I was chased, and infected by this terrifying poison afterwards?"

"For what reason?" Yun Junlin asked in coordination.

"Because of….. this drop of blood!"

In his bewilderment, Jasmine slowly lifted her right hand. Her thin and delicate index finger erected toward the sky, and from the area of her fingertips, a drop of a dark-red water droplet-like object slowly rose accompanied by a shimmering ball of eerie light, until it hovered over her fingertips.

"Three hundred years ago, someone found an ancient book while exploring an dangerous ruin from the Ancient Era. There recorded a message: "In the Primordial Era, there existed a True God also known as the "Heretic God". He was the last god who remained after the downfall of the Era of the Gods. His downfall marked the true end of Era of the Gods. And during the Heretic God's downfall, he left a droplet of indestructible blood that embodied his source of power…."

"If one could acquire this drop of indestructible blood and infuse it into their body, their Profound Veins would be able generate the power of the Heretic God!"

"Many people quickly gained knowledge about this record; the words 'Power of the True God' was irresistibly alluring to everyone. Thus, many people started to madly search for the blood of the Heretic God. But for centuries, no one had any success, and it was not until one month ago that someone found the location of the Heretic God's downfall. Hence, innumerous people rushed to that place in order to find the remnants of the Heretic God. Inadvertently, the legendary 'Indestructible Blood of the Heretic God' was actually found, and caused everyone to scramble for it….. But in the end, it fell into my hands."

"…and they chased you because of it," he completed her sentence for her.

Her face was still full of anger after she said those before continuing once more, "Only after I had acquired this blood of the Heretic God, was I able to find out that the power hidden inside was entirely different from my expectations. There wasn't even a trace of destructive power! If one injected it within themselves, it would only forcefully change the structure and attributes of the Profound Veins, and even erase all the built up strength in the old set of Profound Veins! Everything would have to start from scratch! That is all! Afterwards, the profound strength would still have to be trained by one's self bit by bit!"

"At the very least, what people expected about the "Power of the True God" was fundamentally, not there at all. In fact, it was nothing more than a mere trace of the "Heretic God" attribute! At most, it ought to be a little bit more powerful than an ordinary profound vein!" 

Yun Junlin internally scoffed at her words. A 'little more powerful than an ordinary profound vein'? As a reader of the novel, these words were practically the biggest joke ever to him.

The Heretic God's Profound Veins were literally the most broken set of Profound Veins that existed in the current era. 

"Since your profound strength literally amounts to nothing, you'll be a fine experiment to see how powerful these veins actually prove to be. It may not have some heaven-defying power but will at least give you some special ability unique to itself!" Yeah right, it was the most ridiculous hack ever barring the Law of Nothingness. That was a completely different sack of potatoes.

Jasmine's eye suddenly flashed and brightened, as she lowered her luminous snow-white wrist. Her delicate fingertips suddenly stimulated the blood of the "Heretic God" to float adrift and pierce into his chest. The pit of his chest immediately split open to reveal a bloodstain, and the sinister scarlet blood droplet touched his overflowing blood, as if it were attracted. In a flash, it entered Yun Junlin's body.

The moment the dark-red drop of blood entered Yun Che's body, tens of bloodstain-like crimson lines wildly fanned throughout his body, originating from the blood print in his chest. The lines spread across his whole body in an instant. His chest, hands, legs, face, ears, and even pupils were now full of blood colored channels that looked like demonic markings.

"Ughhhhhhh…"

At that instant, Yun Junlin felt as he was stabbed by tens of thousands of blades. Immense agony fiercely beamed from every single corner of his body. His entire body started to shake tremendously, as his vision also became blurry, until it completely became a shade of crimson red.

A wave of pain emanated from a force digesting the insides of his body…. Yun Junlin knew the human anatomy like the back of his hand; the parts that were being digested, was doubtlessly his broken Profound Veins! The function of Profound Veins were to hold profound strength; so even if there were no profound veins, a person could still live, and just won't be able to cultivate even the slightest amount of profound energy. Although profound veins do not affect one's life and death, it still was a part of the body. The broken profound veins continuously being eaten away was not unlike internal organs that were being slowly ripped apart and shredded; and one could only imagine that degree of misery.

Yun Junlin knew the anatomy of the body very well. However, something odd that even he, himself couldn't really explain was happening at this moment.

His profound were being devoured by the Heretic God's drop of Indestructible Blood and were forming new, much more robust, profound veins. The standard veins which had a total of fifty-four openings were being devoured, giving birth to new veins but with seven openings more. 

He immediately recognized them to be the seven gates from the Heretic God Arts. However, the puzzling thing was that his body had suddenly started to fuse with the remaining Primordial Energy with breakneck speed. 

Blinding, divine Golden light started bursting out of his body while the profound vein entrances got wider and greedily absorbed the Primordial Energy. The Heretic God aura from the veins drastically increased.

Jasmine cruelly smiled as she saw the red demonic marks all over his body; as she saw his eyes suddenly turned crimson; as she saw his whole body tremble; as she saw his face contorting in pain…. Slowly, her smile chilled down and disappeared, and what replaced it was an face that expressed an ever-increasing shock.

On his forehead, bean sized beads of sweat slid down in a terrifying fast speed…. It was impossible to imagine how considerable the pain must be for the body to react in such a startling fashion. 

However, aside from that first moan, Yun Junlin didn't utter a single sound of pain afterwards; not even a single trace!

As time ticked away, one minute…. three minutes…. five minutes... Jasmine's expression eventually changed into complete astonishment.

Devouring the Profound Vein…. Under such frightening agony, he actually still didn't let out a single roar of pain!

At this time Jasmine realized, in her shock, that she had entirely, and unfairly looked down on him… His body was weak, and his profound strength was meager; but at this time, he exhibited a terrifying willpower that was at a complete disparity with what he had. Before, she had always wondered why the Sky Poison Pearl, being one of the Heavenly Profound Treasures, would actually fuse with such a inferior and lowly human. But now, she had started to feel… that it seemed the Sky Poison Pearl didn't actually lose its spirituality, nor had the Sky Poison Pearl's spirituality gone mad….. 

Just when she taught this man couldn't get any crazier, Yun Junlin lifted his left hand, held it against his chest, and muttered: "Sky Poison…. Purification!"

Sky Poison Pearl instantly emitted a beam of dark-green light, dissolved into jis body and went through his newly born Profound Veins. 

Under his guidance, the Sky Poison Pearl's purifying power made a trip through every single of his Fifty-four Profound Entrances with ease…. Yun Junlin could almost hear the sound of the closed Profound Entrances opening. 

Jasmine looked lost for a moment as she stared at him like he was some kind of ghost from old stories. Amidst the reconstruction of his Profound veins, this guy was actually busy opening up all the entrances. 

Insane!!

Immediately after that, the absorption speed grew even faster and his cultivation base which was utterly destroyed, started rapidly soaring.

1st level Elementary Profound

2nd level Elementary Profound

3rd level Elementary Profound

1st level Nascent Profound

1st level True Profound

2nd level True Profound

3rd level True Profound realm!!

This was where his cultivation base took a halt and stabilized. 

The odd phenomenon of the profound veins absorbing the Primordial energy had in turn increased his cultivation by more than a great realm!
