nRoy was currently unaware of this. Even if he knew, he would probably be stupefied. Xeron was definitely fooled. Roy had photoshopped his demon wings, and it had nothing to do with the purity or impurity of his bloodline. On the contrary, in the system’s evaluation, Roy’s bloodline was very complex, and the system said that he had at least four different demon bloodlines.

nAt least four meant that there might be more. Eight or even sixteen were possible! How could such a bloodline be considered pure?

nAfter a while, Roy walked into the pool.

nThe other low-rank demons refining their bloodlines in the pool did not interfere with each other. Roy initially thought that it was because they knew the rules here, but he realized that this was not the case when he entered the pool.

nThe moment he entered the pool, Roy only felt an inexplicable fear creep into his body!

nThis fear came from this purplish-red liquid. It was very viscous, not like water, but rather like real demon blood. It also contained very powerful energy, so powerful that every demon that entered the pool produced a feeling that they were incapable of resisting it, which transformed into a strong sense of fear. This was the real reason why all the demons in the pool stayed motionless.

nIn the Abyss, there had always been a legend spreading among demons about these places of refinement. Legend had it that the purplish-red liquid that made demons feel dread was actually the blood of demon kings! Blood that came from demons stronger and more terrifying than high-rank demons and even demon lords, it was the blood of demon kings!

nIt was unknown whether this legend was true or not, but Roy felt a boundless force corroding his body when he was soaking in the liquid.

nThis force quickly seeped into his skin and continuously rushed all over his body in a berserk manner. Under these circumstances, Roy’s heart began to beat wildly, and the magic power stored within was being rapidly consumed.

nThis situation surprised Roy. He could sense the danger brought by this force.

nHe finally understood why low-rank demons needed to accumulate enough magic power before coming to a place of refinement. This force would drive the magic power of the demons to constantly stimulate their hearts and bodies. It was hard to imagine what outcome this process would lead to when their magic power was suddenly drained.

nJust as Roy was feeling a little nervous, a prompt came from the system.

n“It is detected that an external force is trying to change the host’s genes. It is possible that the force might cause the host’s bloodline to evolve, but it may also lead to the evolution failing. Should it be intercepted?”

nHmm? Roy was a little surprised, but then he understood. The customization system controlled his bloodline and genes. Otherwise, how could Roy achieve his modifications and additions? However, the liquid containing powerful energy seemed to have a similar effect, so the system noticed it.

n“Possible failure? What do you mean?” Roy asked the system.

n“Because the host’s demon bloodline is relatively complex, this force will stimulate a random bloodline, awakening it as the main bloodline!” the system replied. “This method has flaws and may conflict with other recessive bloodlines, causing the evolution to fail.”

n“Is that so…” Roy pondered before asking the system, “Since you can stop it, does it mean that you can also control this power?”

n“Yes!” the system replied affirmatively. “The system can intervene in the evolution process after consuming a certain amount of souls!”

nHearing this answer, Roy felt relieved. He did not expect the system to have such a benefit. This was equivalent to minimizing the risk of his promotion.

n“What are we waiting for?” Roy immediately agreed to pay the souls and let the system intervene in his bloodline refinement.

nSoon, Roy felt the pool’s powerful energy corroding his body turn from berserk to gentle, and the loss of his magic power began to slow down…

nAt the same time, the system asked Roy, “There are a total of eight types of demon bloodlines in the host’s bloodline. Four of them are the succubus bloodline, rift demon bloodline, spider demon bloodline, and crawl demon bloodline. These are the recessive, thin bloodlines. The other four types are worm demon, shadow demon, frost demon, and snake demon. These are the dominant, thick bloodlines. Please select a bloodline as the direction of evolution.”

nRoy was stunned. There are actually eight bloodlines?!

nWell, Roy could understand that he might have inherited these eight bloodlines from the previous generations. That was beyond his control. But… what the hell are these bloodlines?

nSpider demon? Crawl demon? Worm demon? Please tell me. F*ck, how can you slap my face like this?!

nThere’s also the succubus bloodline. How can this bloodline be everywhere? Sure enough, succubi really get around in the Demon World.

nRoy was speechless. Fortunately, the succubus bloodline belonged to the thin bloodlines in his body, and it was probably more difficult to evolve, so this would unlikely happen to Roy. Otherwise, Roy could not imagine himself taking a bath, and then it turned into a tragic event of him becoming a woman…

nNo! I don’t want to become a succubus! Roy roared inwardly and quickly asked the system, “Which of the four dominant bloodlines is closest to my current appearance?”

n“Frost demon!” the system replied. “The other demons are all non-humanoid!”

n“Frost demon?” Roy breathed a sigh of relief. It was always better than becoming a worm or a snake.

nThe appearances of most low-rank demons were the combination of various bloodlines in their bodies. These bloodlines were in balance, but the outcome was that the magic power circuit could not be constructed. The awakening of the bloodline using the place of refinement was actually awakening a bloodline in the body as the dominant bloodline, causing the demons to show the unique characteristics of that bloodline. At the same time, it suppressed the power of the other bloodlines and broke the original balance.

nWhen a bloodline awakened, it meant that demons could use the special abilities of the bloodline. For example, if Roy chose the frost demon bloodline, it meant that he would be able to use the unique frost abilities of this type of demon after completing the refinement.

nHe should be thankful that there was this frost demon bloodline in his bloodlines. Otherwise, if he really had to choose succubus…

nAfter Roy’s confirmation, the gentle and powerful energy in the water began to surge within his body. With the consumption of his magic power, Roy could feel a special magic circuit being built in his body.

nThis magic circuit was just like the meridians in martial arts novels. When magic power flowed along these paths, it could immediately transform into a special elemental power!

nThere was no need for gestures or chants to cast it. This was a demon spell that belonged to frost demons. It was being built along with Roy’s bloodline awakening…
