SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God Chapter 686 Opening up meridians

After contemplating the situation for a moment, Damon shook his head in silence. He was certain a deeper reason existed for these events, though a logical conclusion eluded him for now. He realized there was no utility in wasting further time thinking in circles. Having confirmed the safety of his family, he decided to push these concerns aside temporarily rather than obsessing over them. His primary focus needed to remain on the Golden Throne event; he had already committed massive bets toward it and had no intention of retreating now.

His immediate priority was to forcibly open several more vital meridians. His constitution had finally adjusted, feeling significantly revitalized after the consecutive cycles of feeding and sexual activity. It was clear that simple intimacy wasn't the only cause for this improvement. He suspected it was the unique bloodlines of Aurora and Lirae, or perhaps their other bodily fluids, that provided such benefits. Having consumed a substantial amount of their blood as well, he felt his body was perfectly primed for another series of Cultivation upgrades.

The remaining challenge was whether he could accurately pinpoint the correct set of meridians to target.

While Damon pondered this, a new strategy formed in his mind. He suddenly pulled Kate toward him, causing the girl to let out a surprised shriek at his unexpected move. Much like Aurora, she had been preoccupied with monitoring various chat channels and didn't anticipate Damon initiating another physical encounter so soon.

"Damon, you idiot. Everything is already sore. Stop it," she protested weakly, though her legs were already instinctively wrapping around him, signaling her readiness to be taken once more.

Damon ignored her protest. "Quiet for a moment," he muttered, his expression turning grave as his hands began to roam across Kate’s body. The other two women watched with curiosity, puzzled by his behavior. Damon continued his exploration of the confused girl for several minutes, even using his fingers to probe her, which caused her to moan and tremble. His gaze sharpened with focus as he withdrew his hand and finally rested his palms steadily upon Kate’s chest, ceasing all movement and playful squeezing.

"Kate… please stay still for a second…" Damon took a deep breath, channeling a thin thread of his blood energy directly into her. The energy successfully permeated her form, and he found he could sense its path quite clearly as long as he maintained physical contact.

"Blood Reign, can you tell me if I am doing something wrong?" he sent a telepathic inquiry to the weapon spirit.

Damon had observed NPCs performing this technique, but he had never attempted it himself—neither on his own body nor on anyone else’s. He spent a few seconds testing the flow on himself first before refocusing his efforts on Kate.

With every attempt, his proficiency grew. "Blood Reign… uh… Little Red, are you there? I could really use some guidance here," he requested again until a familiar voice finally echoed in his mind.

"My liege is so cruel. He spends hours playing with everyone else while ignoring me for days on end. You only reach out when you require my assistance."

Damon let out a small chuckle. "Weren't you occupied finding a method to preserve my stat points?"

Little Red was struck dumb by his response.

Not wishing to make the spirit feel truly dejected, Damon quickly added, "Fine, I'll call for you more often from now on. We can talk the whole night through if you want."

Although Little Red didn't reply immediately, he could sense the shift in her mood toward happiness. "My liege, first I must congratulate you on marking all your women. Your harem is becoming quite formidable. The blood of that fallen angel is particularly advantageous for your growth."

Damon sighed inwardly. He could tell the spirit was in a talkative mood, but despite his promise, he didn't have the luxury for idle chatter at this moment. He had already spent a significant amount of time on activities of questionable productivity and needed to move quickly.

Making a mental note to compensate Blood Reign later, he nudged her to stay on topic. "What is your assessment of me assisting them in opening their meridians?"

"For others, it would be a daunting task, my liege, but for you, it should be effortless. You might even succeed on your very first attempt. This is especially true for Kate and Lirae, as they have already ingested your blood. You should practice on them before trying to help the fallen angel. Her case will be slightly more complex, but as long as she cooperates, the process will go smoothly."

Damon nodded in agreement. It was time to put the theory to the test. In this rapidly evolving world, any advantage he could provide his inner circle—especially those nearing his level of power—could be critical. It might very well be the factor that decided between life and death.

While he wanted to be the heroic optimist and claim no harm would ever reach them while he stood guard, his practical side knew better. It was essential to ensure their own strength was significant, just in case the unexpected occurred.

Closing his eyes, Damon focused intensely, trying not to let the sensation of the magnificent breasts beneath his palms distract him. A pulse of energy then surged from his hands, entering Kate’s chest with a low, warm resonance. She gasped, her frame tensing as the foreign sensation vibrated through her. This was nothing like the raw, physical friction from before that sent electric sparks through her nerves; this was something entirely different.

The sensation was gentle and warm, yet possessed an underlying sense of absolute authority. It surged deep into her being, nourishing her from the very core of her soul. In an instant, the energy claimed her entire body.

Kate realized that, in this state, she was utterly vulnerable to Damon’s will. With that single wisp of energy, he possessed the power to do anything, even cripple her. Yet, she felt no fear. Her trust in him was absolute.
