<h4>Chapter 2242: Chapter 2242: Heart</h4>


    "Holy Master, sometimes your arrogance can be your undoing."


    Pranay Martinez retreated slowly, with regret in his eyes.


    Has a generation of heroes fallen like this?


    But Julius Reed refused to believe it, he truly had no way to forcibly seize those memories.


    Trent Marsh’s people were watching intently.


    Everything could only be left to fate.


    Dragon Dance’s face was calm, but her hand subconsciously clenched tightly.


    Grasping the clothing firmly.


    The palm was full of sweat.


    The entire za was terrifyingly silent.


    A pin drop could be heard.


    And Julius Reed, the person involved in this crisis, was experiencing an unprecedented threat!


    His heart had stopped.


    Julius Reed always considered himself a normal person.


    Just physically strong, with no connection to monsters like the Undead Tribe.


    This was a benefit, as it meant he had none of those side effects.


    But it was also a disadvantage.


    Ordinary human physiology made him extremely fragilepared to the Undead Tribe, easy to die.


    Far less survival rate than the abnormal humans.


    The Undead Tribe, after modifications, could even reconstitute into human form when diced apart.


    Like the Prophet, who had seven hearts.


    All for a better chance at life.


    The ck smoke gradually dissipated, all flowing into Julius Reed’s body through his chest.


    Tens of thousands of eyes were fixed on the high tform.


    Even Trent Marsh’s holographic projection was watching.


    His people were extremely nervous, with Martial Artists surrounding outside to ensure safety.


    No one knew if anyone from the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance mighte to the rescue.


    As the organization ruling this world for thousands of years, Julius Reed must have loyal followers.


    Just like Trent Marsh, awakening after a millennia of slumber, stillmanded allegiance.


    Those frozen followers were fiercely loyal, fighting for Trent Marsh.


    "Hiss..." As the ck smoke disappeared into his body, Julius Reed couldn’t help but take a breath.


    With his heart stopped, a suffocating feeling followed.


    Julius Reed felt as if his vision turned pitch-ck.


    The surroundings darkened.


    But in the depths of darknessy the light.


    A beam of white light descended from the sky, striking him.


    Julius Reed opened his eyes to see nothing but white.


    That dazzling white.


    He seemed to leave his body, standing a meter away, viewing his smoke-corrupted form from the outside.


    A beating heart entered him, taking control of everything.


    The heart beat vigorously, pushing the ck smoke into the bloodstream.


    Soon, the ck smoke reced the blood, bing omnipresent in Julius Reed’s body.


    And at this moment.


    Julius Reed realized he had nine hearts inside him!


    He was rarely shocked.


    This meant he wasn’t an ordinary person!


    Back at the Dusty tform, when he inadvertently bypassed the scanning device, Shadow Kims noticed something odd.


    But didn’t mention it.


    Partly fearing silencing, but mainly because Shadow Kims wanted him to uncover the connection between nine hearts and seven hearts.


    Seven hearts formed the Seven-Treasure Brilliant Heart.


    But the nine hearts?


    No one knew.


    Even Julius Reed himself didn’t know.


    Soon, nine very small hearts split out, enveloping the dark heart.


    Julius Reed knew the backup n he had put aside would be needed now!


    He closed his eyes, letting his consciousness return to the body.


    Four Nether Beasts surrounded him.


    ’Heart, heart...’


    But just then, perhaps too agitated by what was happening, or perhaps thinking Julius Reed was dead.


    Lines of text appeared in Julius Reed’s consciousness.


    ’Heart, do you see me? Possessing this body, I shall again be the eyes of the god.’


    The eyes?


    Julius Reed suddenly understood why the painting could see far and predict the future.


    The god’s eyes, the heart of the god, and previously self-proimed divine blood.


    In Boulevard Mountains, Julius Reed had once asked the painting about the origin of divine blood.


    The painting hesitated then.


    Thinking back, it must have feared exposure.


    The blood and the painting belonged to the same person’s body.


    Divine blood depicted a person killed, blood oozing, forming an ability.


    The painting represented the eyes!


    But Julius Reed had another doubt.


    This painting seemed to appear in many ces.


    Was it a doppelganger, or did the god have many eyes?


    He originally decided to devour this heart but now changed his mind.


    Let them take over.


    Then reim it himself.


    The heart kept beating, ck blood corroding every part of the body.


    Soon, the body turned entirely ck.


    The heart’s beating frequency abruptly elerated.


    Julius Reed could feel his body bing harder.


    The blood outside, Pruitt Wilde chased after it.


    Meaning the heart had no blood, only able to use this ck gas as a recement.


    Simte blood to achieve control over the entire body.


    Julius Reed quietly manipted the Dragon King Ring, allowing the Evil Qi to begin entering.


    And those ck smoke passing through fingers, filtered and absorbed into the Dragon King Ring.


    The four Nether Beasts also gradually entered the heart following the Evil Qi.


    All four Nether Beasts entered.


    But the heart took no notice.


    Kept beating constantly.


    The eyes seemed slightly awakened but not the heart.


    The heart should have been locked away, never had the chance to evolve.


    ’I am here.’


    A line appeared again.


    Julius Reed felt his eyes burning fiercely.


    The left eye was ufortable, but the right eye felt nothing.


    As the burning sensation grew more intense, the left eye seemed to lose sensation.


    But soon.


    The left eye’s location began to expand, then contract.


    As if something had devoured the original eye.


    Julius Reed’s heart started to hurt intensely.


    The nine heartspletely enveloped the so-called godly heart.


    At this time, Julius Reed used Evil Qi as a guide to control the four Nether Beasts.


    Directly reimed control over the body!


    After a brief pause in heartbeats, driven by nine hearts, it returned to normal.


    Blood within the body returned.


    Intertwined with Evil Qi, recovering gradually.


    Within the Dragon King Ring, the ck smoke seemed to coexist with Evil Qi, breached the Dragon King Ring’s pull and returned to Julius Reed’s body!


    And after circting within the body once, it dissipated.


    No anomalies.


    "Dead?"


    Someone below the za spoke up: "Could it be, dead so quickly?"


    "Isn’t that obvious, with Trent Marsh acting, how could he not die, get caught by Trent Marsh?"


    Martial Artists debated, Trent Marsh’s holographic projection waved his hand.


    Wainwright Ridge approached for a closer look.


    He first checked Julius Reed’s heartbeat, then checked the body’s mobility.


    To the naked eye, Julius Reed ckened.


    Just as they expected.


    "Dead." Wainwright Ridge nodded.


    "Dead?" Dragon Dance was initially incredulous, quickly showing disheartenment.


    Pranay Martinez also slightly trembled, took a deep breath.


    But just then.


    Julius Reed suddenly opened his eyes!
