Primordial Harem System

Chapter 68: Ending The Moron

Uncle Xie's smile froze as he realized the situation was progressing towards an outcome that he didn't want to face.

He gripped his sword tightly and spoke with a deep voice, "Young Man, it's not good to make such rash decisions. Take a step back, or else you regret your choices one day."

Shen Yuan smiled lightly as the coldness from his face faded, he spoke lightly, "Looks like you have made your choice."

He raised his scythe as his smile faded, only calmness remained as he continued, "Now face the consequences of your choice."

Uncle Xie looked back at Young Master Hei, "Even though we do not have the same surname, I have raised you since you were young. Even if I died protecting you today, I won't have any regret."

He raised his sword as he prepared for an epic showdown, the most glorious one of his entire life.

He looked towards Shen Yuan but he didn't find him standing there, he felt a gust of wind blowing as he heard someone whispering, "Don't overestimate yourself."

He sliced the old man's neck cleanly as he didn't even have time to react.

"Ahhh" The young master stumbled back, falling to the ground as his entire body quivered in terror. "Wh-whq-wgar heve yju done"

He couldn't even form a complete sentence as Shen Yuan turned away from the old man's body and turned his scythe towards Young Master Hei.

Everything happened so fast that neither the black-clad cultivators nor the minions of Young Master Hei could react to Shen Yuan, they were still standing in their positions, frozen in fear.

Shen Yuan spoke while pointing his scythe toward Young Master Hai. "It's your turn now." Shen Yuan moved towards him menacingly.

Young Master Hei quivered on the ground as he shouted, "Don't come near me, stay away!" He had regained a bit of his composure as he could finally speak.

Shen Yuan put the scythe back as he stood in front of him and grabbed him by his neck, raising him above, he asked, "Did you think you will end up like this?"

Young Master Hei struggled to breathe as he spoke, "You don't know my father! He won't spare yo-"

Shen Yuan interrupted him as he raised his hand and said, "If he dares to look for death, then that is what I shall deliver to him."

He didn't wait for Young Master Hei to speak as he stabbed his heart with his hand, ripping it out. Young Master Hei's eyes widened as he couldn't even speak his final words.

Shen Yuan released his body as he fell down, but he noticed something strange in his hand.

The heart which he was holding was melting and being absorbed into his body. He felt a cold chill in his back as he shook his hand to throw the heart away but it stuck to his palm.

Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong teleported beside him, but before they could do or ask anything they heard,

[Ding!]

[Unknown bloodline has initiated absorption of the Mortal-Tier Phantom Physique.]

[Host's bloodline is refining the Mortal-Tier Phantom Physique due to its low-tier nature.]

[Congratulations, Host! You have successfully acquired the Mortal-Tier Phantom Physique.]

[Ding!]

[Due to its low tier, the bloodline has refined the Mortal-Tier Phantom Physique, granting the Host a unique Darkness Affinity.]

[Darkness Affinity enhances the Host's ability to manipulate and control darkness, allowing for advanced stealth, shadow manipulation, and powerful dark-based techniques. This affinity strengthens the Host's connection to dark elements, amplifying their effectiveness in combat and concealment.]

Shen Yuan's body sweated a lot during the absorption process as he took a deep breath to calm down, he looked at his hands as he was now able to feel the Darkness element in the surroundings more clearly.

"What was that just now, Yue Lan?" He asked Yue Lan as he couldn't calm down enough to think this through.

Yue Lan's replied with a hint of solemnity in her voice,

[That was your bloodline trying to saturate itself, seems like we found a way to saturate your bloodline, Shen Yuan. You even got the Physique as a side effect of absorbing that guy's Physique. But due to its low tier, your bloodline refined its core essence and granted you Darkness Affinity.]

In the end, her voice once again regained her usual playfulness as she was also relieved now that they knew how to saturate Shen Yuan's bloodline.

Shen Yuan processed the information as he spoke his thoughts after a while, "So, I can get various Physiques after killing their predecessors and absorbing their hearts? Is it limited to their Physiques or can I absorb Bloodline and Talents as well?"

He directly asked about what he wanted to know the most at this moment. The limits of his Bloodline's devouring powers.

Yue Lan replied in an uncertain tone,

[Hmm, that is quite hard to answer, since I have never seen a Bloodline that can devour another's Physique and give it to its user. We will have to experiment with it later.]

Shen Yuan nodded his head in agreement as he looked toward Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong. Who was looking at him worriedly even though they heard what Yue Lan spoke.

Shen Yuan smiled reassuringly towards them as he spoke, "Don't worry you guys. I'm alright or even better than before. Now I have one possible way to saturate my bloodline."

Shen Yuxin nodded her head but asked in a quiet tone, "So, will you walk in the demonic path Yuan'er?"

Shen Yuan smiled in amusement as he asked, "Will you try to kill me if I walk on the demonic path?"

Shen Yuxin shook her head resolutely as she replied, "No, I will stand by your side no matter even if you stand against the entire world."

Huo Rong and Bing Rong also nodded in agreement.

Shen Yuan smiled slightly as he shook his head, "Don't worry, I don't plan on walking the demonic path, not now nor in the future. But I also won't walk the path of righteous cultivators, I will walk on my own path."

Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong nodded their heads proudly as they saw that Shen Yuan didn't get tempted even with the power he had.

If he turned to the demonic path then he had the highest chance to saturate his bloodline. But he decided against that, and that made Shen Yuxin proud.

Huo Rong curiously asked, "So, Shen Yuan, how high is the affinity you got this time?"

Before Shen Yuan could reply, Yue Lan jumped out of his forehead in her cat form and sat down on Shen Yuan's head,

[Nyahh~ it's a pretty low-level talent but he can upgrade it in the future if he increases it high enough then he can easily comprehend Darkness Law]

Huo Rong and the others nodded in understanding while trying to ignore how funny Shen Yuan looked with a car on his head.

Shen Yuan felt his hand twitch as he tried to pick up Yue Lan, but once again his hand passed through her.

[Nyahaha~ you can't catch me, just give up.]

Shen Yuan nearly cursed as he spoke, "Just wait, one day you will regret playing me like this."
