From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

It seemed the same as always, all the Power of Consecution was inseparable from the Lord of the Lost.

He slowly rose to his feet, nodding gently to Irene and Byrne, who were concerned about him.

"The ritual is complete," Irene sighed with relief, a smile blooming on her face.

"That\'s wonderful! Hahaha! Chris succeeded!"

Byrne\'s eyes filled with hot tears, and he couldn\'t help but laugh heartily, the excitement and joy in his heart beyond what words could express!

He could hardly imagine the changes Chris would bring to the Fischer family after reaching the 4th Rank.

The Fischer family would become a viscount family, joining the ranks of the remaining five and a half viscount families on the East Coast, at least becoming a player of significance in this region rather than a mere insignificant piece!

The Fischer family had always willingly played the role of a pawn, catering to and being wary of powerful families, all for the day when the true blessing would finally come.

Of course, Byrne was also aware that the foundation of the Fischer family was weak, and they could probably only be compared with the Donnerklaue clan who had suffered heavy losses in wars at sea.

The gap between them and the Lion clan and Eagle clan remained significant.

Irene\'s eyes were filled with joy, excitement, and adoration for the Lord of the Lost.

Just now, the great god must have heard her prayers, and that\'s why the ritual was a success!

How could the Lord of the Lost abandon the promise made to her at the beginning? That was an impossibility!

She bowed her head gently and said with a smile, "Let\'s go and worship the great god, expressing our gratitude for all the protection bestowed upon the Fischer family."

Chris nodded as well; without the Lord of the Lost\'s grace, he still couldn\'t obtain true power.

He had clearly felt it...

He fell into contemplation.

All the core members of the Fischer family in Nasir Town, along with all the family members and Blood Receivers present in the town, gathered in the basement of Fischer Manor.

Each of them was well aware that when the people of the Fischer family came together, a blessing was bound to occur.

They knelt and prayed.

As the number of people increased, Irene suddenly felt that the basement would need to be expanded in the future, or it would become cramped and narrow one day.

Lilian, dressed in Gothic attire, was among the many praying. She sat quietly like a doll, cute and pure.

At eleven years old, she was aware of the secrets and truths of the Fischer family.

A small silver-white dragon lay beside Lilian, making cooing noises from time to time, like a bird.

Whether it was a "turtle" or a Spiritual Dragon, they were all well cared for by Lilian, and she seemed to have a natural affinity for various mysterious creatures, drawing close to them.

Irene\'s expectations for Lilian were astonishingly high, so throughout the year, she constantly instilled in Lilian the greatness of the Lord of the Lost, teaching her how to become a priest of the Fischer family.

Because Irene was keenly aware that her time was running out, and the remaining people in the Fischer family were either unfit to be priests or too young.

And Lilian was the most suitable candidate.

Lilian had no aversion to the faith of the Lord of the Lost and quietly accepted everything Irene taught her, spending the rest of her time learning and taking care of mysterious creatures.

With a face full of reverence, Irene prayed and offered sacrifices adeptly.

"Great Lord of the Lost, once again the Fischer family implores you to grant a more powerful force."

"Chris has completed the ritual of Tranquility and will advance further on this path, better conveying your faith."

After Irene spoke, she raised her hands, presenting the extremely valuable Class 4 Extraordinary Material, "Shadow Sea Stone."

Byrne had acquired the "Shadow Sea Stone" from the "Time Stasis Stone" through a trade at the triennial Alchemy Council, using the sale of knowledge from the Spirit Realm.

Now, the spiritual power it contained would become the cornerstone for expanding the 4th Rank of the Path of Tranquility!

Karl watched from on high the young man with silver hair below, Chris.

He was indeed a natural person of Tranquility.

So far, among all the Extraordinary Exponents with the Power of Consecution, Chris\'s compatibility or talent was unquestionably the best.

It had taken Chris merely a decade to advance from the 1st Rank to the 4th Rank, and he was still very young, even having the chance to reach the 5th Rank of the Path of Tranquility before his life waned.

"Perhaps, he will become the true future of the Fischer family."

"After ascending to the 4th Rank, Chris\'s soul capacity will increase, reaching a level sufficient to hold the power of two types of runes, and ultimately, his strength will be remarkably potent."

So, Karl\'s expectations for Chris also rose.

Regarding Chris\'s second rune power, Karl considered what to bestow upon him.

"I\'ll think about it later. Let\'s open the pathway of the 4th Rank first."

Diving deeper into the Spirit Realm, Karl flew toward the many "constellations," this time feeling no gaze upon him.

He seemed to use an invisible force to harvest a star, formally activating the "Sin Executioner" Power of Consecution.

In the originally empty "constellation," a young man with dark red hair emerged, holding a dagger and staring calmly at something ahead.

The next moment, Karl retrieved the dark red Spiritual Radiance and returned to the real world.

The people in the basement could not help but express their astonishment.

"Is that Spiritual Radiance?"

They could all see the dark red Spiritual Radiance emerging before the sacred object, extremely dazzling and eyecatching, significantly more so than the previous Spiritual Radiance, and not even in the same class.

Moreover, it contained an extremely intense and terrifying aura, as if it encompassed endless slaughter and death, capable of annihilating all sinners.

Karl slowly bestowed the 4th Rank "Sin Executioner" Spiritual Radiance to Chris.

Chris took a deep breath.

He quickly felt a tide-like force surging once again, like an unprecedented powerful weapon now at his disposal!

The 4th Rank of the Path of Tranquility!

The Power of Consecution, "Sin Executioner"!

Before Byrne had a chance to ask, Chris consciously closed his eyes, actively sensing the specific enhancement of his physical ability and Spiritual Power.

Unlike the need for extensive testing in the past to determine improvements, he could now simply sense the power within his body to minutely perceive the extent of the increase.

According to Byrne\'s evaluation theory, the integrated quality improvement of the "Sin Executioner" was 200, mainly the enhancement of physical quality by a terrifying 150. A "Sin Executioner" could completely match a monster, and the increase in Spiritual Power was also nearly 50.

Chris opened his eyes and moved his slender, fair fingers, finding he could precisely control most of the muscles in his body, and even perform various movements beyond human limits.

The attacks he launched casually could astound master martial artists with their precision.

And those were merely the effects of a significant increase in physical quality, not the Extraordinary trait of the "Sin Executioner."

The Power of Consecution provided Chris with two extremely powerful Extraordinary traits.

"Eyes of Conviction" and "Fire of Sin."

He could use nearly half of his Spiritual Power to unleash "Eyes of Conviction" on an intelligent being that saw his eyes.

The next moment, the target would suffer an extremely intense psychic attack, becoming immobilized. The deeper the sins they had committed, the greater the effect, and the weak-willed would die of terror on the spot.

Every time a "Sin Executioner" killed a sinner, he would absorb some of their sins and could also use Spiritual Power and those sins to generate a pitch-black "Fire of Sin."

"Fire of Sin" could change at the "Sin Executioner\'s" will, used for attack or defense, and once it touched an enemy, it would burn fiercely due to their sins, continuously consuming their soul until the sins were burned to ash.

Its ultimate attack range was about a hundred meters, completing the Extraordinary Exponents of the Path of Tranquility\'s long-range combat capabilities.

The more a person was filled with sin, the more vigorously the "Fire of Sin" would burn on them. Theoretically, even a Monarch powerful expert could be killed by the "Fire of Sin," albeit with a very slim chance!

On the other hand, it was an Extraordinary power that couldn\'t kill even a newborn baby.

Furthermore, the powerful "Fire of Sin" had an unavoidable downside; once created, it was indiscriminate, burning even the Sin Executioner\'s own spirit and soul.

The black flames would ruthlessly execute all sinners.

Chris calmly felt the powerful force, slowly raising his right hand as black flames materialized out of thin air, instilling most of those present with a sense of dread.

Some of them even took a step back.

"Chris..." Vanessa looked at her husband, her eyes revealing shock.

In the basement, only Lilian remained unaffected, not perceiving any danger from the black flames.

Just when everyone thought the Lord of the Lost\'s blessing had ended, Chris suddenly sensed something wrong; he had obtained a brand-new rune power!

"Reverse Stab!"

In the depths of Karl\'s soul, its rune form resembled a pitch-black, sharp spike, always ready to counter the enemy.

"Reverse Stab" was a Treasure-class Mysterious rare artifact once used by Priest Azure Blue to incite a psychic shock, instantly rendering Irene, who was about to sacrifice herself, unconscious.

Chris\'s offensive capabilities were already very strong, but his defenses were too weak, albeit fitting a killer\'s profile. However, Karl preferred him to be as devoid of weaknesses as possible.

"Reverse Stab is very suitable to be your second rune power."

He pondered quietly, continuously infusing rune essence to evolve the "Reverse Stab" within the depths of his soul into spirit runes.

Spirit runes, "Thorns"!
