Chapter 659: Enhancing great generals (III)
Cain stared at Bloodless #1, pleased that the man's will and heart were just as formidable as he remembered. Even though Cain was now even more powerful than him, he still felt a great sense of awe as he saw those eyes full of conviction and determination, ready to face any danger for a cause he believed to be right.
"You and I go a long way back, and your merits on the battlefield are more than enough to qualify you for the Tribulation Enhancement. Unfortunately, if you have serious wounds, the power of the Revolution Refinement will not act properly and might even backfire."
Those last words were obviously a lie, but it was all part of Cain's plan, as he did not want people to understand the healing properties of the Tribulation Enhancement. Besides, it was also true that it would not help regrow the arm since Revolution Refinement only improved something already there.
A complicated smile appeared on Bloodless #1's face as he heard that, but he did not say a word and simply nodded. However, just as he was about to resign himself, he saw how Cain waved his hand again, this time revealing a dark root the size of an arm.
Shock and awe appeared in Bloodless #1's eyes as he saw the dark root move as if alive, and despite being hidden, he detected a monstrous amount of what he could only describe as god-tier Blood Energy.
Bloodless #1 was not the only one shocked; even if the other great generals did not follow the path of blood, they could feel the root's formidable power and were sure it was incredibly precious.
"This is an Origin Root from the Sanguis Blood Tree. Allow it to fuse with your body."
Bloodless #1's eyes widened once again as he understood the origin of this root. As someone who trained in Blood Cultivation, there was no way he would not recognize the name of the clan in the Deus Behemoth Empire that followed the same path. He looked at Cain with a sense of disbelief as he could not understand how the young man managed to obtain something so valuable.
Cain did not disregard the value of the Origin Root. Despite Lord Zanginis's goodwill, the old man only gave him one root. It was supposed to be saved for an emergency, but Cain knew that Bloodless #1 could give it a better use; besides, he had several treasures to heal him in case something happened.
The great generals could not hide their envy as they saw Cain's offer to Bloodless #1. Still, none of them said a word as they understood the duo's relationship was very deep, not to mention that Bloodless #1 had earned all of their respect due to his formidable battle power and bravery on the battlefield.
Bloodless #1 did not feign fake modesty and bowed to Cain again before adopting a meditative position and opening his mouth. The next second, the Origin Root flashed on its own into the man's body, going down his throat and soon merging with the wall of his Rebirth Heart.
Bloodless #1's eyes widened as a sense of utter pain assaulted him, and his pale complexion turned red as he felt his skin grow scorchingly hot. It was an agonizing feeling, but the man just clenched his teeth as blood began to leak from every orifice of his body.
Cain, the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, Angar, and the great generals waited in silence, careful not to disturb Bloodless #1's assimilation of the Origin Root. Thirty minutes went by, and the agony in the man only grew, but even in that pain, a smile formed on his face as he saw how the stump that was left after losing his left arm began to tremble.
