Chapter 110: Shadow Genesis Sutra
Adrian collapsed onto the floor of the Blood Star’s inner sanctum, gasping for air. His entire body trembled from exertion. Too close.
That was way too close.
He sat up slowly, assessing his injuries. The cut on his cheek stung, and his shoulder ached from the near-miss. But he was alive. That was what mattered. He quickly took out some Rank 2 healing pills that he had concocted and immediately swallowed them.
He sighed in relief as he felt the familiar wave of energy wash through his body. The pain from the cut on his cheek had subsided, and it had stopped bleeding.
The adrenaline had also begun to wear off, leaving him tired and sleepy. He had initially wanted to check what was inside the black storage ring, but soon gave up on that idea. Now that he was safe, he could do that at any time. He just decided to rest for now and deal with it when he woke up.
As for going back outside to check on the situation, there was no way he was going to do that. He collapsed on his back, and within a few moments, he was deep asleep.
He woke up a few hours later, feeling refreshed and reenergized. The cut on his cheek had also fully healed and left no trace behind, as if he had never been attacked.
He quickly had a simple meal. He was eager for what he was going to be doing next. Because of all the shenanigans that happened, he didn’t have the time to be excited about what he had accomplished.
He had acquired the legacy of the Hundred-faced thief, a Transcendent realm cultivator. If he were a normal Foundation Establishment realm cultivator, this would have been enough to change his life completely.
However, Adrian’s goals were too grand, and even the legacy of a Transcendent realm cultivator was not enough to help him accomplish them. It was a good start, though. A damn good start.
He glanced at the ring on his index finger and began to infuse his Qi inside. Since it was an item without an owner, it immediately became bound to him when he infused his Qi into it.
