CHAPTER 1550: CHAPTER 1570: THE VIRTUELESS MERIT STONE

When two hundred Merit Stones were piled together, they were blindingly bright to Yusuf Zuck.

You must know, what he desired most was the Merit Stones, because they could help him activate the Blood Beads.

Up until now, he still had twenty-two Blood Beads unactivated, but he believed that with these two hundred Merit Stones in hand, he could open at least ten of them.

"Let’s go, go, go, back to the dojo, hahaha!" Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily; he wanted to go back and immediately enter seclusion to see just how many Blood Beads he could activate.

Broderick Hopkins had become his servant, so he followed cautiously behind, despite his somewhat grim expression, as he had no choice but to accept his fate.

The big black dog occasionally glanced at him, seeming to look down on him.

Soon they arrived at the Pier Dojo, and during these days, the Pier Dojo had been peaceful; whether it was Pier or the other great monsters, they were all cultivating, gathering basic information about the Eternal Life Realm, the various Dao ancestors, and the Heavenly Emperors.

When Yusuf Zuck returned, he had Broderick and Pier reinforce the dojo, while he ran into the secret place to enter seclusion.

The two hundred Merit Stones were placed at his feet, and he first calmed his mind and spirit, only beginning to absorb the Merit Stones once he was in peak condition.

He did not absorb all two hundred at once; instead, cherishing each like a rare delicacy, he would pick one up and absorb it quickly!

"Snap~" The Merit Stone shattered, its Power of Merit flowing into the depths of his soul like a gentle stream!

"Huh?" Yusuf Zuck was startled as the gentle stream flowed into the depths of his soul, because his remaining Blood Beads showed no sign of reaction, not even a flicker or a jump.

And that streak of Power of Merit seemed to have nowhere to go, swirling continuously within his soul!

"What’s happening?" Yusuf Zuck was shocked, attempting to stimulate the Blood Beads with his mind.

But when he tried to stimulate the Blood Beads with his mind, there was no reaction, and that stream of Power of Merit even seemed about to dissipate!

Sweat appeared on Yusuf Zuck’s nose, "What the heck is going on; even if the Blood Beads don’t open, they should absorb the Power of Merit, they should at least flicker, they should at least jump, but why aren’t they jumping or flickering now?"

Could the Merit Stones be fake?

"No, they can’t be fake; they are the Power of Merit!" Yusuf Zuck was a bit frantic, because if that streak of Power of Merit was not absorbed soon, it would evaporate like steam.

"Heart Force, emerge!" Out of desperation, he operated his Heart Power throughout his body.

As the Heart Power circulated and expanded outwards, the soon-to-disappear streak of Power of Merit was quickly sucked into his heart, and the shrinking heart noticeably became rounder, regaining some strength.

Previously, after he swung three axes, the Heart’s Power of the giants was depleted, and these Merit Stones could replenish the Heart Power!

"Lucky, lucky, I can let the heart absorb, restore its original state, that’s a good thing too!" Yusuf Zuck took several deep breaths, ensuring no Power of Merit was wasted in the end.

"But why didn’t the Blood Beads open? Could something be wrong with that last one, preventing the Blood Beads from absorbing? Should I try another?" As Yusuf Zuck thought about this, he grabbed another and quickly absorbed it.

The situation was precisely the same as before; the Power of Merit was absorbed into the deepest part of the soul but not into the Blood Beads.

At this point, the Blood Beads appeared dead, withered, and the Power of Merit in the Merit Stones could not activate them.

"Why? Why, oh why?" Yusuf Zuck’s entire body trembled; it had taken so much to find the Merit Stones, and now that he finally had so many, why were they suddenly useless?

Unwilling to accept defeat, he absorbed one after another, and the Power of Merit transformed from a trickle to a torrent, but there was still no reaction from the Blood Beads.

Yusuf Zuck had no choice but to let the heart absorb to restore.

Meanwhile, his face turned the color of pig liver due to his inability to find the reason.

In theory, Merit Stones are the Heavenly Patching Stone, and the Heavenly Patching Stone is the most potent supplement for the Blood Beads; other rare treasures are inadequate to open Blood Beads, yet now, even the Merit Stones are insufficient.

Soon, all two hundred Merit Stones were consumed, his face almost bleeding; while his heart had regained power, restoring to its former, even better state, the Blood Beads were still dull, devoid of color and vitality.

Yusuf Zuck couldn’t find out where the problem lay, assuming that the Blood Beads were again being exclusive, opposing him, and that the Heavenly Patching Stone was no longer the ultimate supplement!

"Pier, Pier, Broderick, both of you come here!" Yusuf Zuck suddenly stood up and roared, truthfully feeling extremely frustrated; originally, he thought he could activate over a dozen Blood Beads, allowing him to sweep across the heavens, stepping on whoever he wished.

Now, his hopes were dashed, like cuts with a knife, stirring an impulse to spit blood.

"Master, what’s the matter, what’s the matter?" Pier and Broderick, who were setting up the dojo and getting familiar with each other, immediately ran over upon hearing Yusuf’s call, without delay.

"Life Spirit Stone, Life Spirit Stone, do you know where there are Spirit Stones? Go inquire right now; I need a Life Spirit Stone immediately!" Yusuf Zuck now pinned his hopes on the Life Spirit Stone because a previous Life Spirit Stone had once allowed him to open two Blood Beads, so he believed that a Life Spirit Stone could definitely activate his Blood Beads again!

"Well... little slave really doesn’t know where there is a Life Spirit Stone!" Broderick shook his head.

"That, that Landyn Torres has it, the third Yun brother, Cason Torres!" Yusuf Zuck said loudly.

"The third Yun brother? Cason Torres? Okay, I’ll call him right away!" Broderick responded immediately.

"No, don’t just call him alone, summon all of the Eight Great Families, including Landyn Torres, but don’t mention the Life Spirit Stone!" Yusuf Zuck squinted, thinking that since Landyn Torres was against him, if he called him alone, Landyn might run, so if they summoned the Eight Great Families, his family would also come, and hence Landyn would have to follow them!

"Yes, Master!" Broderick agreed swiftly, immediately contacting the Eight Great Families in his dojo.

At this moment, Pier said, "Master, as far as I know, the Saint Master of the Soul World once had a Life Spirit Stone!"

"Oh?" Yusuf Zuck’s eyes glimmered: "Where is the Saint Master now?"

"He and the old witch are under Great Black Sky’s command; I haven’t found the time to deal with the old witch yet. How about we bring Broderick and Big Black and pay them a visit?" Pier was purely using Yusuf Zuck to bolster his courage because he truly wanted to deal with the old witch.

This matter was a thorn in his heart.

However, the Great Black Sky was formidable, so he might not be capable of confronting them alone.

"Alright, I’ll go seize the Life Spirit Stone, and you take care of your old passion!" Yusuf Zuck stood up, Great Black Sky?

Now he had an excuse to trouble Great Black Sky, since Great Black Sky ambushed him, so who would dare object to him taking revenge? It was a personal grudge!

Of course, why shouldn’t he bolster Pier’s confidence?
