"Spirit Level Commander!"

The Cain Ancestor’s eyes filled with shock. He knew in his heart exactly what a Spirit Level Commander signified. It seems Ye Fan has truly visited that place.

"I’ve slain two Spirit Level Commanders," Ye Fan stated calmly. "Do you think I would fear the European Pope?"

The Cain Ancestor was stunned. He was well aware of the strength of a Spirit Level Commander. Even the weakest of them could put up a fight against him. For Ye Fan to have slain two... This means his power has far surpassed my own! He had never imagined Ye Fan’s strength would progress so rapidly. This completely exceeded all his expectations. Incredible, truly incredible!

Heather, however, was confused, as she didn’t understand the significance of their words. The Cain Ancestor declared with satisfaction, "Good, very good. It seems the European Pope is destined to die by your hands!"

"What does that mean?" Heather asked again, utterly bewildered by their conversation.

The Cain Ancestor simply replied, "It means he is capable of defeating the European Pope at his peak. Is that explanation enough for you?"

Heather was astonished. She, too, had not anticipated Ye Fan’s strength would advance so quickly. Then, Ye Fan dropped another bombshell. He said to the Cain Ancestor, "Your foundation has been eroded by the Holy Light of the Church, but I can save you!"

"Really?" The Cain Ancestor was shocked, his eyes filling with hope. He never expected that Ye Fan could heal him when he was already on the brink of death.

Ye Fan turned to Heather. "Stand guard for us. I’m going to save him."

Without hesitation, Heather immediately took up her post as their protector.

Ye Fan then said to the Cain Ancestor, "The process might be very painful, but you must endure it."

"It’s fine, I can bear it!" the Cain Ancestor immediately replied.

At that moment, Ye Fan activated his Divine Bloodline. He sent the Dragon Emperor’s Blood into the Cain Ancestor’s body to directly challenge the Holy Light of the Church. Under the assault of the Divine Bloodline, the corrupting light instantly began to disperse. The Cain Ancestor’s complexion started to improve, and although the process was agonizing, he could feel the Holy Light fading away. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"BREAK!" Ye Fan shouted, and the last remnants of the Holy Light of the Church scattered into nothingness.

The Cain Ancestor’s condition improved dramatically. Now, he was only injured and just needed to rest for a period to make a full recovery. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ye Fan said, "It’s done."

The Cain Ancestor and Heather were speechless with shock. The entire Vampire Clan had exhausted all their means to no avail, yet for Ye Fan, the solution had been so simple. The outcome left them utterly astounded.

"My dear, thank you!" Heather said gratefully.

"There’s no need for thanks between us," Ye Fan replied. "This is what I should do."

The Cain Ancestor, feeling a sense of relief wash over his entire body, told Ye Fan, "Your power is truly remarkable. You dissolved the Holy Light of the Church in an instant. It seems you are destined to be the nemesis of the European Pope!"

"Cain Ancestor, you flatter me," Ye Fan said modestly. No matter how much others praised him, his composure remained unshaken. But he couldn’t deny, he felt incredibly pleased right now!

After enduring this ordeal, the Cain Ancestor seemed to have had an epiphany. His previous arrogance was gone, replaced by a demeanor that Ye Fan could truly respect.

At that moment, Ye Fan asked, "Senior, there’s something I don’t understand."

"What is it?" the Cain Ancestor asked, looking at him with puzzlement. Even Heather had no idea what Ye Fan was referring to.

"I don’t understand why the European Pope abandoned the idea of killing you at the last moment," Ye Fan said. "According to the Vampire Clan’s accounts, the European Pope definitely had the power to slay you in the final moments. So why would he choose not to?"

"Perhaps he feared our Vampire Clan’s Holy Artifact!" Heather suggested immediately.

"That’s right," the Cain Ancestor affirmed, revealing the secret. "Our Vampire Clan possesses a Bloodline Holy Artifact! Once this Holy Artifact is brought out, no one can contend with it!"

But Ye Fan pressed, "Senior, if that’s the case, why didn’t you use the Bloodline Holy Artifact to fight back against the European Pope then?"

Even Heather was deeply perplexed by this.

The Cain Ancestor sighed. "Let’s put that aside for a moment. Actually, I have a secret to tell you."

Both Ye Fan and Heather looked at the Cain Ancestor with anticipation.

"Outsiders know that our Vampire Clan possesses a top-tier Spiritual Artifact," he began. "But what they don’t know is that the Bloodline Holy Artifact has already transformed into another form."

They were both shocked. Could it be that the Bloodline Holy Artifact has lost its power?

The Cain Ancestor spoke again. "This story begins with Heather."

"Me?" Heather looked at the Cain Ancestor, puzzled. She hadn’t expected this matter to be related to her.

"Yes," the Cain Ancestor nodded. "This is the secret I must tell you both."

Instantly, Heather and Ye Fan were filled with anticipation. They realized this matter couldn’t be simple; otherwise, the Cain Ancestor wouldn’t have kept it a secret for so many years.

The Cain Ancestor continued, "In fact, the Bloodline Holy Artifact has always been among the Vampire Clan, just existing in a different form." Seeing their confused expressions, the Cain Ancestor looked directly at Heather and declared, "The truth is, *you* are the Holy Artifact of our Vampire Clan!"

Heather was instantly baffled. Even Ye Fan was stunned. Heather is the Vampire Clan’s Holy Artifact? The revelation filled him with profound confusion. This seems far too absurd.

Heather nearly fainted, unable to believe she was a Spiritual Artifact.

"Let me explain it to you slowly," the Cain Ancestor said. "The Vampire Clan’s war with the European Church Court began in my era. Back then, the European Church Court was incredibly powerful.

"Our entire Vampire Clan was besieged by them. In that battle, my children and my granddaughter all perished. Barely ten to twenty percent of our clan survived. In the final moments, I used the Bloodline Holy Artifact and with it, slew two Pope-level experts!"

"Two Popes?" Ye Fan and Heather exchanged shocked glances. Does that mean the European Church Court had more than one Pope back then?

"That’s right, two of them," the Cain Ancestor confirmed. "In that era, the European Church Court had three great Popes. After I used the Bloodline Holy Artifact, two of the Popes were annihilated on the spot, and the current European Pope was also heavily injured. The Holy Court’s army retreated, but the Bloodline Holy Artifact was damaged.

"However, its Artifact Spirit entered the body of my granddaughter who had been killed in the slaughter. Because of that, my granddaughter was resurrected.

"So, Heather, you are the Bloodline Holy Artifact. And you are also my granddaughter."

The story was so full of twists and turns, far beyond anything Ye Fan could have imagined. As for Heather, she was utterly bewildered.
