Chapter 25: Ancient Devil Meridian
Evan felt extreme pain all over his body but he still clenched his teeth and continued channeling the pure darkness energy into his blocked meridians.
He felt like if invisible walls stopping darkness energy from entering his blocked meridians. Still he gritted his teeth and applied more force. It felt like countless needles were stabbing his body. A feeling of extreme pain assailed him but he still continued.
From his eyes a powerful resolve could be seen.
He thought, "This much pain is nothing,as long as I become powerful."Gradually the invisible force blocking darkness energy lessened. Evan did not miss the opportunity and continued forcing darkness energy into his meridians.
Anyone be it devils,gods or humans had 56 meridians from their birth. But having meridians one thing but opening meridians for cultivation another thing. Like most of the cultivators can sense elemental energies but using different elemental energies for themselves altogether a different matter.
Most of the cultivators could only use single element in their entire life. Same case happened,while cultivators attempted to open their meridians.Most of the humans could only open upto half of the original meridians means if total meridians in their body were 56 but most of the humans could only open upto 28 meridians.
Devils and gods were the blessed creatures of heaven and Earth. Gods were blessed with elemental control ability while devils also had their natural superiority over other creatures including their tyrant physical bodies and sensing most mysterious aspect of creation,soul.
For their natural superiority, most of gods and devils could open more than 42 meridians but opening all 56 meridians were like scaling the heaven. But Evan was exactly targeting for this extreme target, opening 56 meridians.
In his previous life,he was able to open 53 meridians,and according to his uncle,it was a heavendefying achievement. His uncle was a mighty warrior,yet he had only seen one people in his life who could open 53 meridians.
Soon,Evan opened up 50 meridians. He was already drenched in sweat. Heavy pain wrecking havoc all over his body. He knew naturally he could go this far.Instead of disappointment, Evan's eyes flickered with more resolve to push forward.
Evan closed his eyes and started to pronounce some obscure syllables.A deep black aura started to surround him,as he pronounced the obscure chant.
It was a secret art of Hendrickson clan which was taught to him by his grandfather. It was a extremely tyrannical to art. Name of this art was "Ancient bloodsoul art"
It could stimulate bloodline in the exchange of burdening the soul. It could even be used to bring out the extreme potential of devil soul in fight.Because of Royal soul of Evan,he could use it even in his low cultivation base. In his previous life, Evan managed to open up 53 meridians by the help of heavenly elixirs and this secret art.
Evan knew the cultivation pond was a great supplement for cultivation of a devil. Forget about opening meridian realm, even if it was two more upper realms,this pond could have provided great assistance to a cultivator.So, without worrying about heavenly elixirs, Evan made up his mind to enter in opening meridian realm.
Evan felt like he was held like a ordinary steel plate and someone striking his inside with a large hammer. Evan felt his mind was getting heavy and pain was reaching to it's extreme end by every passing moment. It was the result of using Ancient bloodsoul art of his Hendrickson family.
Evan clenched his fists and continued persisting in this state. He never stopped ramming darkness energy in remaining blocked meridians. Ancient bloodsoul art stirred his body's potential to it's extreme and as a result blood flowed more quickly inside his meridians. His ability to endure pain also got higher.
Gradually blocked meridians started to open up one after another. 51th,52th, When it reached 53rd meridian,Evan felt unbearable pain at this moment. But he still continued.
Evan tried hard. Despite the bone rushing pain,Evan persisted in his attempt to open up all 56 meridians. His eyelids grew heavy by every passing moment,his mind felt heavier.
After some time when Evan felt hopeless even after bearing so much pain, a gentle cool white energy came from some parts of his blood. It loosened up the invisible force blocking the remaining meridians. Evan caught this moment and used his all remaining strengths to ram the remaining blocked meridians.
'Snap',a sound rumbled inside the body of Evan like a large fetter broke inside the body of Evan.54th meridian opened up. By this time, Evan was feeling his conciousness fading away.
He gathered up all his remaining strength and ram darkness energy on passage of 55th meridian. Evan knew he opened up an impressive amount of meridians-55 Meridians but he fell to open up the last one.
After sometime Evan opened up his eyes. He found himself lying infront of central statue in the pavilion. A pure dark beam of energy was emitting from the statue and covered his entire body.
He felt his condition getting better and better.After sometime he again gathered darkness energy and rammed his 56th meridian.To his surprise,he saw the pure black energy from the statue mix with darkness energy of his own and opened up the 56th meridian without any obstruction.
When all 56 Meridians of his body opened up, Evan felt light. He felt his ability to sense darkness energy got higher and he could attract darkness energy in a very high speed.
When Evan thought to got up from his lying position,he saw a globule of black mass flowing towards him from the central statue.When it reached near him,he saw it was black blood of devils.
Evan felt surprise,yet he became overjoyed. He already guessed that the middle statue was the first ancestor of all devils.A drop of blood from him could awake the full potential of a devil's bloodline. It was extremely beneficial to devils.
Evan didn't resist and the globule of black blood entered the body of Evan. Evan felt a tyrannical power surge inside his body. Then to his surprise,he saw a new Meridian was being made by the pure black energy from Central statue using the black globule of blood as base.
A new memory appeared inside the mind of Evan.
'Ancient devil Meridian ' a special meridian of ancient devils.
