---- Chapter 2884 Andrew was stunned as he realized it was the power of his bloodline. Donovan had told him that when the Blood-Eyed ck Dragon mark was fully activated, it would reveal a massive family secret. Andrew finally understood what that enormous secret was: the ability to transcend time and space to summon ancestral power. To some degree, the totem on his chest functioned like a formation array. When activated, it could summon the power of his ancestors to enhance his own abilities. This power manifestation had a time limit, and after using it, he would be severely weakened.


    Nevertheless, none of that matteredpared to the magnitude of this power, which was specifically designed to counter Western Dark ns. To be precise, the Lloyd family''s ancestral power couldpletely suppress the Dark Trinity: vampires, werewolves, and the sirens. As for why this was the case, Andrew could not yet find the answer within the inherited memories of the ancestral power. Even so, this tremendous surprise already made him feel the journey had been worthwhile. Andrew closed his eyes and felt the changes surging through his ---- body.


    Something indescribable had appeared within his meridians and flesh. But he could confirm that his strength had increased again, and significantly so. Especially within his blood, Andrew sensed something strange. He did not know if it was an illusion, yet faint purple specks seemed to shimmer within it. They looked like tiny glowing particles suspended in his blood Andrew frowned and used his fingernail to break the skin. Immediately, a crystalline drop of blood formed at the wound but did not drip down. This was because even a single drop of Andrew''s blood now contained tremendous energy.


    That energy was viscous and refused to separate from his body. Andrew flicked his finger, and the blood droplet sttered onto the stone b. Sure enough, beneath the red, there were tiny purple specks mixed in. Even in the dim light of the chamber, those purple specks could be seen twinkling faintly. Andrew did not understand the cause and chose not to dwell on it. Then, he took a deep breath He was sure of one thing: after gaining this ancestral power, his cultivation level had increased substantially.


    He had jumped from the second stage of martial emperor directly to the fourth stage, meaning once he passed the fifth stage, he could attempt to break through to the martial god level. ---- He thanked Valerius'' skeleton again before saying, "Forgive me." He had originally intended to take Valerius'' remains back home. But unexpectedly, a breeze swept through, and the skeleton crumbled to ash. Beneath the chair, a deep opening was revealed. Andrew stared at it in silence for a long while. Perhaps once Valerius'' wish was fulfilled, returning home no longer mattered.


    A loyal soul could rest anywhere, and the Lloyd family ancestors had always been this open-minded. The powerful spirit outside stood guard day and night. Trying to exit through the outer path was unrealistic, so without much hesitation, Andrew entered the opening. The passage inside was not particrly deep, and after just a few minutes, he emerged on the other side. There, he saw a figure wrapped in pure white robes, kneeling with their back to him before an ancient statue. This was also an altar chamber, though not arge one.


    Andrew could even see the diseased forest outside through several openings, but none of that mattered. He stared at the pure white figure kneeling not far ahead, and a yful smile slowly spread across his face. ---- It was Rosemary ''What a small world!'' he thought.
