Chapter 278: The whole thing?
The veiled woman’s breath caught in her throat as she watched Damon endure what should have annihilated even the most gifted of poison cultivators.
Every drop from the sacred orb wasn’t just ordinary venom, it was divine essence crafted from a million poisons, a concentrated inheritance meant to test, torment, and ultimately transform the next chosen successor.
Yet this man, this blood drinker, whose path was drenched in blood but not toxin, was absorbing it like water into desert soil.
The veiled woman took a step back, her fingers trembling. "This shouldn’t be possible," she whispered. Another drop. Damon jerked, snarled, then stilled, his aura stabilizing even faster than before.
Soon, about half of the sacred orb was used up. Then, silently, another few hours passed by when another quarter of the sacred orb was used up.
In the end, barely a few drops remained in the orb, now almost the whole thing empty. The veiled woman dropped to her knees in shock. Wasn’t this a bit too excessive? Was he only going to stop after he completely absorbed the whole damn thing?
Her master only intended for someone to absorb one or two drops before they passed this segment of the test. No one should be able to absorb the whole thing and yet that was happening right in front of her eyes!
At this rate, the blood drinker was truly going to claim her master’s inheritance.
How could something like this happen? She was even confident that the blood drinker would die in the first few seconds which was why she decided to send him in. He wanted to try his luck badly and she decided to let him have it.
However, now the impossible was coming to fruition right in front of her eyes.
