Saint Seiya Evil Skull

Chapter 110 Baptism of Life

As Alberich exerted all his might to activate the mysterious Xuanwu Sutra, a powerful and majestic force was instantly unleashed. As if inspired by something, the World Tree continuously released its boundless vitality, converging towards Alberich's body at an astonishing speed.

This life force surged like a surging tide, madly pouring into Albelisi's body. However, he remained unfazed. Instead, he calmly manipulated the Xuanwu Sutra, filtering and purifying this life force. After meticulous processing, the purest life force was successfully stored within his solid flesh, like dazzling pearls embedded within it; the remaining impurities, like dregs, were slowly expelled through his mouth and nose.

As the vitality continued to flow and merge, Albelisi suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of comfort rising from deep within his heart. This comfort wasn't merely a physical pleasure; it was a sense of contentment and relaxation that came from deep within his soul. At the same time, under the blessing of this powerful vitality, he was surprised to find that the hidden ailments that had plagued him for years were gradually disappearing.

These hidden ailments were the scars left by his long and arduous training and fierce battles. Now, under the nourishment and repair of the life force, these demons were gradually dispelled and eliminated.

This unexpected discovery plunged Alberich into deep thought. He had never imagined that he harbored so many hidden dangers within himself. Recalling the God Warriors, Saints, and Sea Warriors he had met in the past, most of them reached the peak of their power in their prime teens and twenties, but few lived past forty.

Thinking about it now, perhaps it was because they practiced too hard when they were young, carried out high-intensity training day after day, and frequently carried out various dangerous and difficult tasks, which left indelible hidden injuries in their bodies.

Ultimately, these hidden injuries accumulated over time and became a deadly killer that took their lives, causing them to fade away at an age when they should have been shining brightly. Thinking of this, Alubelisi secretly felt fortunate that thanks to this unexpected opportunity, he was able to eliminate the hidden dangers in his body and gain a new life.

As for Albelisi's series of exquisite operations, he could clearly foresee that his future lifespan would be at least thirty years longer than those of his peers. Not only that, his peak state would also be extended by a similarly long period of time.

Furthermore, for many years, he had diligently practiced the Xuanwu Breathing Method, a simplified version of the Xuanwu Sutra. After all, the Xuanwu Sutra is a classic Taoist text! The Xuanwu has long been considered an auspicious symbol of longevity. Since this sutra is named after the Xuanwu, it's no surprise that it possesses remarkable efficacy in prolonging human life. Because of this, Albelisi's lifespan has increased by another thirty years compared to his fellow fighters.

At this moment, Albelisi firmly believed that his current lifespan had definitely exceeded the 100-year mark...

However, while these powerful vitality might be considered immensely powerful to Alberich personally, when placed before the majestic World Tree, they seemed so insignificant. Therefore, this seemingly significant change in vitality did not attract the World Tree's attention at all.

Thus, Albelisi placed his hands on the World Tree with complete concentration, continuously drawing upon the powerful and mysterious life force. This force flowed into his body like a trickle, slowly nourishing every inch of his skin and every cell. The feeling was like a sacred baptism of life, immersing his entire body in an indescribable comfort and pleasure.

As time passed, Albelisi could clearly feel his body undergoing a profound transformation. The hidden ailments that had once lurked within him gradually vanished, replaced by vibrant, healthy tissue. His muscles became more translucent and lustrous, like finely crafted jade.

At the same time, his defense and recovery abilities had also been greatly enhanced. Now, even when facing the most powerful enemy attacks, he could rely on his tough body to withstand most of the damage and quickly recover.

However, Alberich knew not to be too greedy, so as not to alert the World Tree. After a brief but highly effective absorption, he slowly loosened his grip on the World Tree's trunk and cautiously stepped back. Each step was taken with extreme caution, fearing the slightest sound would alarm the ancient and mysterious tree. Once he had retreated a certain distance, he turned around and, at an extremely slow pace, left the World Tree's barrier. Finally, he successfully returned to the surface world.

Alubelisi already had a plan for the next step in mind.

On the one hand, he decided to adopt a slow and steady approach, gradually draining the World Tree's vitality. This would ensure a steady increase in his own strength while also preventing overstimulation of the World Tree, which could cause it to awaken prematurely and trigger a riot. After all, the World Tree held boundless power; if it were to be completely enraged, the consequences would be disastrous.

On the other hand, having just absorbed a large amount of life force, he did need some time to properly digest this energy to avoid unnecessary waste. Only by fully utilizing this precious life force could he truly achieve a leap forward in his strength.

The moment he returned to the Asgard, Albelisi breathed a sigh of relief. Today was his first victory, and everything went incredibly smoothly. The only thing was that he had extracted a bit too much vitality, and the excess vitality was constantly radiating from his body, which felt a bit wasteful. It seemed he had to be more careful in the future.

The Fairy Palace is now deserted, with only an empty shell left. Albelisi plans to find a place to practice first to see if he can absorb the excess vitality.

Just as Albelis reached the main hall of the Asgard, he suddenly saw Hilda's maid, Lifia, walking quickly towards him. She asked with concern, "Prince, you are finally out. The Queen and Her Royal Highness the Princess were worried about you and asked me to wait for you here. Now that you are finally out, I will quickly tell the Queen and Her Royal Highness the good news."

Alberich, who was originally wondering what Lifia was doing in Asgard, smiled evilly after learning the reason and said, "Aren't you responsible for guarding Oscar? Why did Hilda send you here?"

"Prince Oscar is tired from playing and is taking a nap. The Queen is with him, so she asked me to come over and take a look at him first." Lifia explained.

"Since you are here, don't rush away. I didn't know how to deal with it originally, but now that you are here, I'll give you a bargain." After Alubelisi finished speaking, he flashed to Lifiya's side and picked her up with a scream from Lifiya. Alubelisi found a bedroom and when Lifiya screamed "No", Alubelisi roughly tore Lifiya's clothes into pieces. Then, like a violent storm, he pushed Lifiya to the peak one after another. Lifiya continued to endure Alubelisi's attack.

Two hours later, Albelisi got up, put on his clothes, and found a set of maid clothes for Lifia. Fortunately, at the beginning, they only told the outside world that they were carrying out maintenance on the Asgard, so many maids did not move all the belongings to Albelisi Castle.

Albelisi walked in front with a refreshed look, while Lifiya followed behind with a limp and her head lowered. If you look closely, you can see that Lifiya's skin is more lustrous than before, and her originally tired body is becoming more and more energetic, and even the pain seems to be relieved a lot.

If Lifia asked Albelisi, she would know that it was the life force he left in Lifia's body that took effect.

Now Lifia was holding the corners of her clothes with both hands, not knowing what to do next or how to face Queen Hilda and Princess Freya.

As the instigator, Arubelisi is still immersed in the transformation of his body through the baptism of life.

"Lord Alberich, we...we..." Lifia clutched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, her body trembling slightly, and her voice became a little stuttered due to excessive tension. Her beautiful face was now flushed, and even beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.

Just as Lifiya was at a loss, unsure how to respond, Albelisi turned around and noticed Lifiya standing behind him. Seeing her so nervous, Albelisi couldn't help but feel a surge of guilt. After all, what he had done today was indeed a bit inappropriate.

However, as a man, Albelisi knew he couldn't retreat at this moment. He took a deep breath, then fixed Lifiya with a resolute gaze. He said slowly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!" These words seemed to carry a magical power, instantly calming the anxious Lifiya.

Hearing Alberich's promise, Lifia breathed a sigh of relief.
