Destined Antagonist: I Refuse To Annul The Engagement!

Jiang Xuan was taken aback, so many benefits?

When his bloodline reached 85, the Sword Ancestor appeared, but only to teach him, while at 90, he would directly receive the Thunder Ancestor's secret techniques and inheritance?

Is there such a big difference of 5%?

Wait a minute... If the benefits of just the bloodline are already so abundant, wouldn't the rewards be even greater if he directly rejected breaking the setting?

Jiang Xuan's heart suddenly became hot.

The Thunder Ancestor stared straight at Jiang Xuan, realizing that he had been overwhelmed by the promise of inheritance, and he coldly smiled.

For two million years, he had been waiting patiently, finally waiting for a descendant of the Jiang family with a bloodline concentration of 90.

He, the Thunder Ancestor, could finally be reborn!

Back then, with his unparalleled Dao Foundation, he forcefully reached the realm of True God, single-handedly withstanding countless powerful enemies, protecting the Jiang family through their tribulations.

But, because of that battle, he injured his own Dao Foundation and could no longer pursue a realm higher than True God.

Until his lifespan was exhausted, he died with regret.

At the moment of his death, unwilling in his heart, he sacrificed himself and used a secret technique to seal a strand of his remnant soul in the Jiang family shrine.

When a descendant of the Jiang family with a bloodline concentration of 90 activated the shrine, he would be awakened.

He could then possess that person!

This was what the Jiang family owed him!

At the cost of his own Dao path, he protected the Jiang family from destruction, and it was only right for the descendants of the bloodline to serve as his physical vessel and help him be reborn!

"In this life, I will definitely surpass the True God and step out of the Celestial Wonders Realm!" The Thunder Ancestor's heart went mad, laughing crazily inside.

By possessing this person and combining it with his own past accumulation, he had full confidence in fulfilling his last wish from the previous life, breaking through the True God and stepping into a higher realm.

The Thunder Ancestor's heart was insane, but on the surface, he remained domineering and majestic, looking directly at Jiang Xuan and saying lightly, "But I am currently just a mark, and the secret techniques and inheritance are all related to the Great Dao. I need to delve into your sea of consciousness and face your divine soul in order to pass on the teachings."

"If you are willing, open up your sea of consciousness and allow me to enter."

The secret techniques and inheritance he promised, he believed no one could refuse.

Even Jiang Xuan, at this moment, was tempted. These benefits... even a Saint Child would be envious.

If he refused, could he still obtain so many rewards?

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Xuan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Um..."

"Thank you, Thunder Dao, for offering to pass on your teachings, but this junior's talent is still shallow, afraid that I won't be able to bear the Thunder Ancestor's inheritance."

He decided to take a gamble. Refusing before had already brought him many benefits.

Moreover, the temptation this time was even greater, surpassing even the marriage with the divine maiden, all easily obtainable.

As soon as these words were spoken, Lei Zu's expression instantly froze.

What did he hear?

This kid... refused him?

Lei Zu's face immediately turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Do you know what you're saying?!"

"My secret techniques, my heritage, countless geniuses and monsters have begged for them, and you actually refuse?!"

"I'll give you three breaths to reconsider, I hope you cherish it!"

Jiang Xuan was suddenly confused. Why did Lei Zu have such a big reaction?

Although he didn't understand, he still said firmly, "Thank you for your kindness, Lei Zu. I hope you won't be angry."

[Congratulations on breaking a set rule and refusing the benefits that no one can refuse. Otherwise, you will be possessed by Lei Zu and become the vessel for his rebirth.]

[Bloodline purity increased to ninety-three percent.]

[Obtained the complete form of the Indestructible Thunder Body, which is half as strong as what Lei Zu gave, and needs to be nurtured slowly with the help of Thunder Dao treasures.]

A prompt appeared before Jiang Xuan's eyes, and his face suddenly changed. He was wondering why this old guy was so generous, with secret techniques and heritage, but it turned out that he was interested in his physical body!

He wanted to tempt him with this, to make him let go of his mind and allow him to possess him.

Damn it!

Jiang Xuan repeatedly refused, and Lei Zu was also annoyed. He was just a remnant soul, relying on the divine shrine to exist. He didn't have much power himself, nor could he stay in this world for too long.

Among the descendants of the Jiang family, those with a bloodline concentration of ninety were already too few. He had waited for two million years to find someone like this.

He couldn't miss this opportunity!

Lei Zu's face twisted, and he laughed coldly, "Stubborn fool, don't blame me!"

Boom!

With the help of the divine shrine, Lei Zu waved his hand and unleashed the power of the Thunder Dao, sealing off the entire Cave Mansion to prevent any aura from leaking out and being detected by the outside world.

The remnant soul flew out of the divine shrine and turned into a bolt of lightning, breaking through the defense and entering Jiang Xuan's sea of consciousness.

With only a trace of remnant soul left, he didn't have the power of the divine shrine. His strength was almost nonexistent, but he still had the power of the Thunder Dao and the power of the comparable Great Dao.

But Jiang Xuan was only in the Nascent Soul realm. He controlled the power of the Thunder Dao, which was enough to forcibly devour the opponent's divine soul and possess him!

In Jiang Xuan's sea of consciousness, Lei Zu, covered in thunder, didn't waste any words. He directly used the power of the Thunder Dao to activate a powerful killing technique and attacked Jiang Xuan's divine soul.

Three thousand thunderbolts danced like silver snakes, turning into a thunder prison, suppressing Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan stared directly at the thunder prison that was pressing down on him, remaining calm and even... a little disdainful.

The power of the Fire Dao surged from his left hand as he waved it, and a raging flame transformed into a sea of fire that instantly engulfed the thunder prison.

The two forces entangled and consumed each other.

The Sword Intent in his right hand soared, transforming into a green blade.

Jiang Xuan gripped the green blade and strode forward, slashing towards Lei Zu. With a single sword strike, the sword qi extended for three thousand zhang.

Buzz—

Lei Zu's remnant soul instantly split into two.

"It's impossible, this can't be!"

Unable to accept his imminent demise, Lei Zu's face twisted in a grimace as he howled in hysteria, "You're still in the Profound Realm, how can you break free from the shackles of the Great Dao and grasp two types of Dao Intent?!"

Jiang Xuan coldly smiled, without any intention of explaining. His divine soul revolved, manifesting a profound vortex that devoured every fragment of the opponent's remnant soul.

Although it was just a wisp of remnant soul, it was still the remnant soul of a true god.

The quality of divine soul energy was extremely high, and even these fragments caused Jiang Xuan's divine soul to instantly expand.

Jiang Xuan sat cross-legged, focusing his mind on refining the energy and tempering his own divine soul.

Ancient divine radiance slowly surged and faintly flickered with thunderous light.

At the same time, the bloodline within Jiang Xuan's body roared and surged, rapidly increasing in power.

Accompanying this was a vast amount of energy.

His physical body and Dao Foundation had already reached their limits. Until Jiang Xuan found a way to break through these limits, he would be unable to continue advancing. However, he didn't want to rush into the Spirit Transformation stage so quickly.

Helpless, he could only separate a strand of his consciousness to guide the energy, merging it into the trace of Thunder Dao he comprehended from devouring Lei Zu's remnant soul.

Thunder surged throughout his body as the immense energy quickly condensed into thunder patterns that flowed into his physical body.

Five days later.

Boom—

Like a great river, his blood qi surged endlessly, emitting a sacred and supreme aura as if it contained the hidden secrets of ancient and supreme Dao.

There were also raging flames, hundred-zhang sword qi, and countless thunder patterns, guarding Jiang Xuan from all sides like the Three Powers of Heaven and Earth.

Within his translucent body, thunder flickered, exuding a destructive aura.

The Indestructible Thunder Body, comparable to the Innate Sacred Body, had taken shape!

At this moment, Jiang Xuan slowly opened his divine eyes, a deep radiance flashing across them.

"It took me five days to refine just a fragment of a remnant soul..." Jiang Xuan's face revealed a hint of helplessness.

"Fortunately, the gains are not bad."

First and foremost was his divine soul. By devouring a fragment of a true god's remnant soul, he directly broke through his limits!

His current Divine Soul Realm, although still in the Profound Realm, could now contend with the Spirit Transformation stage.

Secondly, by comprehending the Thunder Dao through Lei Zu's remnant soul fragment and using his own energy, he had made significant progress in the Thunder Dao. He was not far from comprehending the Thunder Dao Intent.

In other words, Jiang Xuan, who was still in the Profound Realm, had already comprehended the three major Dao paths of sword, fire, and thunder!

The shackles of the Great Dao that had hindered countless geniuses and prodigies seemed nonexistent to him.

Furthermore, thanks to the reward from the Goldfinger, he had successfully forged the foundation of the Indestructible Thunder Body, greatly enhancing his physical strength and breaking through his limits once again.

Jiang Xuan was confident that with his current physical strength, he could easily kill an early Spirit Transformation stage genius with a single punch.

Once the Indestructible Thunder Body reached completion, it would be comparable to the Innate Sacred Body, showcasing its terrifying power.

Of course, it was not easy for the Indestructible Thunder Body to reach completion.

It required a massive amount of Thunder Dao treasures and divine artifacts.

This matter would have to be taken slowly.

Lastly, there was the improvement in bloodline purity.

Originally, through the reward from the Goldfinger, his bloodline purity should have reached ninety-three. However... after devouring Lei Zu's remnant soul fragment, his bloodline purity unexpectedly increased again, reaching a terrifying ninety-five!

It had reached the level of a second-generation ancestor!

It had to be said that Lei Zu, this old fellow, might not do anything useful, but he did understand the concept of "sacrificing oneself for others."

"With both my divine soul and physical body breaking through their limits, all that's left is my cultivation. Once I break through my cultivation limits... I will definitely be able to forge an unparalleled Dao Foundation!" Jiang Xuan grinned.

"I hope the trial in the ancestral land will bring some surprises and allow me to smoothly break through my cultivation limits, forging an unparalleled Dao Foundation."

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Buzz—

Within Jiang Xuan's body, the surging and roaring bloodline, like molten lava, suddenly gave birth to ancient and dark restrictions. They intertwined and formed a black totem, resembling a venomous poison that crawled out of his bones, sending chills down one's spine.

The entire hall suddenly felt like an icy cave.

A sense of coldness enveloped Jiang Xuan, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

Just as Jiang Xuan was filled with doubt, the totem suddenly flew up and branded itself on his forehead.

A sinister and eerie laughter resounded in his mind.

"The Eight Great Royal Clans! Accept the curse of this deity! Your descendants will forever live in fear!"

"Until their extinction!"

"Hahaha—"

Boom!

Jiang Xuan fainted.
