Chapter 23: Statues of Ancient Devils
During his sleep,Evan had already recovered his lost memory. Evan already knew the life of Steve was a test for him and it was indeed a very complex test for a young child like him.
" Phew what a test!
I wonder how many child with cultivation base lower than meridian opening realm could handle such a test!" While he was pondering random things he heard the familiar voice of old man Brasylx.
"Brat,your are amazing.You passed this ancient test. Saying it old man Brasylx smiled and continued to shower his praises again,
"Even many of your mighty ancestors could not pass this test. Yet you have managed to do it. You are eligible to enter the forbidden zone of ancient devils."
"Forbidden zone of ancient devils! I bet there must be pretty amazing stuffs there", Evan pondered while going towards teleportation portal.
Soon after Evan found himself in a grey world.
In a distance he saw a majestic round palace with a open roof.
Evan walked towards it and stared at the scenes in front of him with a slack jawed expression.
Infront of the palace he saw numerous statues of extremely strong looking devils who were kneeling orderly in line. Some had horns on their head and some had black wings on their back,most astonishing fact was they were looking extremely life like!
Evan examined his surrounding with great interest. He always had a great curiosity towards anything related to ancient devils.
After some time He completed his inspection and strode towards deeper into the palace.
He saw statue of a middle aged person stood upright in the middle of pavilion type structure.
Appearance of statue is heroic and he held a longsword in his hand. Two curved well sculptured horn was on top of his head and two wings on his back adding to his magnificent demeanour.
Evan felt his blood boiling just by looking at the statue. Without knowing anything about the staue, he could said that he was facing a ancient supreme demon with a bloodline connection to his Hendrickson family.
Then he looked at the surrounding and saw total 36 statues placed on pedestal close to wall of pavilion. All were emitting a ferocious aura and battle intent.
Surprise crept in his heart as he looked at a specific statue. His entire blood started churning and he felt a very strong connection between him and the statue.
He unconsciously knelt down in his spot as a extreme feeling of respect and veneration felt his mind.
He saw several globules of black coloured object flying towards him. Before he could react black coloured objects grew closer and he found out it was devil blood .
They quickly moved closer and entered at the spot between his eye brows. He sensed seven extremely tyrannical globules of blood trying to merge with his blood.
He felt piercing pain in his body. These seven globules of blood were like dragons who wrecking havoc inside his body. Evan started to groan as a result, he could not control himself for longer. He started to scream as a result of bone crushing pain.
After some time cracks started to appear on his body. His body was no longer capable of tolerating the chaos inside his body. He was in deep pain and cracks inside his body oozing out fresh blood painting the surface beneath Evan red.
Evan was inserting his nails inside his flesh to keep him awaken. Nothing could shake his resolute heart.
His mind was clear and resolute.
So what it was painful. Pain was just a moment and after it passed he could reach a step closer to his dream.
When Evan was thinking his body may crumble due to the assault of seven globules of blood, a pure black light emitted from statue in the middle.
Evan felt it was no longer painful as before.
The seven blood globules started integrating with his blood.
Evan felt a boundless power hidden inside his body. He could even sense his soul becoming stronger due to the black light coming from the middle statue.
Finally the process ended and Evan felt he had gone through a qualitative change in this test.
His strength grew up by leap and bound.
He was currently more powerful than his previous self.
