Cursed Immortality

Chapter 731: Power Behind the Throne!

Chapter 731: Power Behind the Throne!

?

In the dreamscape nightmare realm, in the starry landscape, Jacob was frowning as he looked at the thousands of bodies of purple-skinned goblins while Nyx, in her goddess-like appearance, stood beside him with a faint, content smile.

"It seemed you were only overthinking things. Nothing is abnormal with any container of blood," Nyx suddenly voiced her opinion.

Jacob's frown deepened slightly before he replied, "No, there is something wrong with it unless he could escape my eyes. Could it be that whatever he did to the blood is even higher than your emulating capabilities?"

The Eyes of Judge had never been wrong, and he knew for a fact after countless experiments, especially after learning about the Spellbind Eyes. As Jacob's early conjecture, the Spellbind Eyes were a variant of the Eyes of Judge because they had some similarities with the Eyes of Judge, especially their ability to see through illusions.

Moreover, according to the records he acquired, the fully awakened Spellbind Eyes could also see through deceit, which was a lesser version of Eyes of Judge's passive ability, Judgement Gaze, to see through true and False.

Nyx pursed her lips, "So, you would rather doubt my abilities than believe that you might be wrong?"

Jacob shot her a cold, impassive glance as he nodded, "Indeed. Don't forget you still can't emulate my Eyes of Judge, which means they are more reliable than you at this moment. Nonetheless, I can't waste time trying to figure out what that goblin did to the blood.

"The best way to get rid of all the trouble would be to kill him directly, but it would take some time before he'd die after you retrieve the nightmare conqueror seed. Not to mention, I don't want him dead in some unknown place where I can't get my hands on his body. I guess I should consult with someone else."

"Hah! Just who is this someone else? Won't you tell me now?" Nyx asked pitifully as she tried to induce her seductive charm.

After all, with her perfect appearance and body, anyone else would be instantly mesmerized by her pitiful appearance, do anything to appease her, and give in to her demands.

Maybe it would've worked on Jacob at the start, but now, he was completely immune to Nyx's appearance, and as long as there weren't any abilities involved, he would've remained ineffective.

Furthermore, after Jacob's body started to change, he seemed to have gained control over his emotions to a ridiculous degree.

"You shouldn't ask what you're not supposed to." Jacob coldly retorted as he knew Nyx was asking about Immortika since he always cut her vision whenever he summoned Immortika. Although he has a feeling that Nyx won't be able to hear his conversation with Immoritka or able to see the cursed book, just to be saved, he always takes precautions.

After all, Cursed Immortality was his biggest secret, and although he had tried to emulate it in this place and failed, he decided not to reveal its existence to Nyx. Of course, things would be different if Nyx could really emulate the cursed book. Then, it would mean that Nyx was even more powerful than Cursed Immortality, which he had great doubts about.

"Tsk..." Nyx clicked her tongue in annoyance when Jacob remained completely ineffective like he always had. She could tell that he was even more composed after he had transformed his body into this monstrosity.

"Alright, but you have to release my vision the moment you're done!" Nyx gave in before stating her only demand.

"Will do." Jacob nodded dismissively before he looked towards thousands of goblins, "You should keep observing them for more time; maybe something will happen."

Jacob then vanished. He had already spent 35 days doing his experiments here, which means that, in reality, seven days had passed.

"Hmph, I should play with that goblin and woman, and I won't tell him until he requests it from me!" Nyx muttered with indignation as she created a lavish table filled with all kinds of delicacies and sat down on a comfortable couch as if she were about to watch a movie.

But apparently, she was about to torment others to relieve her pent-up frustration, and it was at this time that Diminutive started to experience nightmares and started to realize that something was wrong with him; Veronica was the same!

"Cursed Immortality!"

The moment Jacob opened his eyes in the secret chamber of the church, he instantly summoned Immortika. He could've done this much sooner, but he didn't because he wanted to rely less on Immortika and do his own research before seeking Immortika's help. Jacob knew how much he relied on Immortika in these kinds of situations, and he wanted to change that habit. Only when he reached a dead end would he seek Immortika's help just like

now.

The moment the cursed book appeared, he asked directly, "Would I be fine using the blood that I have recently acquired?"

After its signature laughter, Immortika didn't reply and instead wrote playfully, "Are you dumb?"

Jacob raised an eyebrow before he replied, "I don't have time for your riddles."

"Hehehehe... you're the one who is making the riddles, not me. Just think about it, you have a freaking Immortal Chapter entirely dedicated to blood, and instead of researching it, you're wasting time on meaningless experiments. Now tell me, are you dumb or not?"

Jacob's eyes contracted a little as he retorted, "Are you talking about spending years comprehending those blood glyphs? The last time I checked, I didn't have that kind of time, or do you think if I could just find what I'm looking for in those damn glyphs, I would be really wasting my time in asking you?

"Even if I do that, the Path of Legend might open at this very moment. Unless you can tell me another way to enter the Middle Galaxies, I don't want to spend thousands of years in this place waiting for another opportunity. So, if you don't have any solution to my plight, then just answer the damn question!"

"You do have a point, and there is indeed another way to enter the middle galaxies, but you'll die the moment you take it. Alright, I admit I was wrong, but not entirely. Because you're too paranoid, even if the blood is tampered with, do you think the Cursed Heart could be fiddled with just these small tricks?

"The blood needs to be refined first into cursed blood, and your immunity to the poisons, curses, or anything else is not just for show. Anything that is not blood or harmful to you will instantly be filtered by the cursed heart, and you won't even know it.

"At this moment, with your current progress, even a Legendary Rank trick will be rendered useless. So, now you tell me, is there even a need for you to waste your time?

"Furthermore, you're already in the grasp of your enemies' lives; just threaten them with it if someone ends up happening, which I'm confident won't, and they will be dancing on your palm. You held the incentive here; if someone needs to worry, it should be the people going against you!"

Jacob knew Immortika's words were correct, but he had no plan on losing his vigilance no matter how powerful he became; after all, he had learned his lesson to never look down upon

anyone.

Nonetheless, since Immortika had given its assurance, he instantly started to refine the blood, and the runic markings on his bones started to stir!
