"Buzz"
When Long Chen took out the dominoes, the fluctuations in the blood pool instantly stopped, and the pool fell silent.
The runes on the dominoes flowed and actually emitted a glow identical to that of the Dragon King's Blood Essence Stone.
"Could this be a rebellion, used here?" Long Chen became a bit excited.
Long Chen held the dominoes and slowly approached the Dragon King Blood Essence Stone. This time, the stone did not reject Long Chen and allowed him to approach slowly. Finally, when Long Chen's hand touched the stone, his body suddenly trembled, the blood pool before him vanished, and a white-haired old man appeared before him.
The white-haired elder was thin and stood with his hands behind his back. He had been facing away from Long Chen, but when Long Chen appeared, he slowly turned around.
The first thing Long Chen saw was a pair of eyes—those that could see through the myriad paths of the world and contain endless vicissitudes. Their eyes were full of wisdom, as if these eyes could see through all of Long Chen's secrets.
The old man was slightly stunned when he saw Long Chen, a look of surprise appearing on his wrinkled face:
"I didn't expect that the person waiting to appear would actually be a human, and one with true dragon essence blood. Unbelievable."
The old man's voice was gentle and gentle, very pleasant to hear, even the tone carried an indescribable wisdom, as if every word carried a certain Dao rhythm.
"Junior Long Chen, greetings to senior." The old man was gentle and refined. Long Chen hurriedly saluted, but inwardly wondered, was this really the master of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest here?
The old man nodded at Long Chen, as if he had seen through some secret about him, and said, "
How strange. Are you a descendant of Yun Shang?"
"No, I only met Emperor Yun Shang once." Long Chen's heart jolted. He actually knew Emperor Yun Shang, and he hurriedly said.
"That's strange. Yun Shang told me that one day his descendants would come here holding dominoes.
But you carry the blood of a true dragon, which is completely different from Yun Shang's. This is quite awkward. The old man fell into deep thought, as if he had encountered some kind of problem.
"Senior, did Emperor Yun Shang have an agreement with you back then?" Long Chen asked tentatively.
The old man nodded and said, "Back then, when Yun Shang arrived, I was in the final battle with the Devouring Heaven Evil King."
If it weren't for Yun Shang, I would have died before the Devouring Heaven Evil King. At that time, he would have used the Devouring Heaven Soul-Reviving Technique to resurrect some of the dead Devouring Heaven Black Armor warriors and completely overthrow the Star Domain Divine Realm.
It was Yun Shang who helped me at the critical moment, but I have already exhausted my essence and don't even have a chance at Nirvana. To thank Yun Shang, I gave him the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
But he shook his head. The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest was not what he needed, but what his descendants needed, and what he wanted to leave to them.
At that time, I gave him this crystal bone as a token, and then I was exhausted and at the last minute, leaving behind a spirit to guard this place, waiting for the person holding the crystal bone to arrive.
Now that you've come, you're not a descendant of Yun Shang, and you possess the true dragon's essence blood. I can't understand such karma. If I only have a trace of my soul left, I'm powerless to deduce it." "
Could it be that Emperor Yunshang still has descendants?" No, that's not right. Aren't emperors all alone, without even a beloved wife, let alone children?
Long Chen spoke: "Since it was left by Emperor Yunshang for his descendants, then the treasure should not be mine. I will take my leave now. I ask for your forgiveness if I disturb you, senior." After
saying this, Long Chen was about to leave. If it were someone else's treasure, he might want to fight for it, but the treasure left behind by Emperor Yun Shang must have a deeper meaning, so he decided not to fight for it.
"Wait,"
the old man shook his head and said, "There must be a problem somewhere involved in this cause. Yun Shang is the Child of Destiny, possessing the Eye of Destiny, able to see through the past and future. Logically, he wouldn't be allowed to make such a mistake."
But now that you've arrived, whether or not you are Yun Shang's descendant, you must take the Blood Essence Stone with you, because the crystal bone has broken the barrier, and I no longer have the strength to protect it.
Moreover, this crystal bone can break through the outer barrier, allowing you to take the four divine bones along with them. "
This... Not suitable! Long Chen hesitated a little.
"Of course, you can choose not to take it. Just leave it here and let others take it. That's up to you." The old man said with a smile.
"Rather than letting others off easy, I'd rather let it go to me." Long Chen said with a smile.
"How strange. Although you are human, you possess the essence blood of a true dragon, and your compatibility is almost flawless, without a single flaw.
Without spiritual roots, one can generate myriad sources; without spiritual bones, one can generate all things. Fine, if you lack the ability to calculate, then don't bother with it.
Our first meeting is also fate. The dragon blood in your body is the blood of the Azure Dragon. Although pure, its essence is insufficient, making it the remnant blood of the Azure Dragon. Even if you refine it, the power you control is extremely limited, and you cannot even inherit the dragon clan's divine abilities.
Let me help you wash away the Azure Dragon essence blood and inject my own essence blood into your body. With your affinity for dragon blood, you should be able to perfectly control my power. As for how many dragon divine abilities you can inherit, that depends on your own ability. After
speaking, the old man placed a hand on Long Chen's shoulder, his eyes showing a hint of curiosity, as if he was eager to see what would happen after Long Chen absorbed his dragon blood.
"Senior, absolutely not." Long Chen was shocked.
"Why not?" The old man was taken aback. After all, for human cultivators, this was a dream opportunity.
"Senior, you may not know, but the reason I was able to overcome so many dangers back then was because I was favored by a powerful member of the Dragon Clan.
If it weren't for it, I would have died long ago. I once made a promise with that senior: to help him accomplish something.
But after all these years, he had never sought out a junior. If the dragon blood was cleansed from his body, that senior might never find a disciple again.
In this way, the junior is essentially breaking promises and trust, which is a form of betrayal. So I appreciate your kindness. Long Chen said hurriedly.
Just as Long Chen said this, in the distant starry sky, a giant dragon that had crossed past and future, breaking through the constraints of time and space, slowly opened its eyes.
Its eyes were larger than the stars, surrounded by stars. Its gaze fixed on a speck of dust among the distant stars, with a strange pattern appearing in its eyes.
"Buzz"—
the pattern trembled slightly, tore through the air, and then the huge eye slowly closed.
"Boredom"
echoed among the stars, cold but seemingly tinged with a hint of relief.
...
"Buzz."
Suddenly, a symbol appeared in the old man's eyes, and that symbol was exactly the same as the giant eye in the void.
"I see, I see."
The old man suddenly laughed, his large hand pressing down hard,A tremendous force surged wildly into Long Chen's body, erupting with violent blood energy.
"Senior, ..." Long Chen was both shocked and furious. This old man had actually ignored his objections and forcefully injected dragon blood into his body.
"Stop!"
Long Chen roared, his blood energy erupting. But this eruption was no big deal — endless blood energy surged into Long Chen's body in an instant.
Originally, Long Chen intended to force the old man's dragon blood out of his body, but with a bit of force, he started sucking it wildly. He felt lava churning and flowing inside him, the pain unbearable.
"You bastard, are you crazy?" Long Chen roared in fury, struggling wildly, but in front of this Dragon King, he had no strength left to resist.
Long Chen wanted to use the power of the Chaos Pearl, but he didn't know how, because the Chaos Pearl could only contain lifeless objects. The old man before him was no good, and Long Chen was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.
"Hahaha... What an interesting kid. The old man was cursed but not angry at all; instead, he laughed heartily.
Seeing Long Chen's forehead veins bulging and he looked like he was about to kill, the old man smiled and said, "You don't need to be angry. I haven't washed away your dragon blood power, nor do I have that ability."
I'm just using my own essence blood to help replenish a bit of dragon energy, because the Azure Dragon Reverse Scale you obtained was replenished because something happened when the owner shed the scales, causing an accident and replenishing the essence blood.
After countless millennia of baptism, the vital energy keeps draining away. By the time you obtain it, it has already lost its source essence, so when you inherit it, you simply cannot awaken the dragon clan's divine power..."
"You... How do you know so clearly? Long Chen said in surprise, no longer cursing loudly, but instead using an honorific.
The old man smiled but didn't answer directly, continuing, "I'm now trying to use this essence blood to activate the source essence within the true dragon essence blood."
This way, your dragon blood power will be even more abundant, your strength stronger, and your body more robust.
If you're lucky, you might even awaken your true divine powers, but the process will be extremely painful, so you need to be mentally prepared. Long
Chen was overjoyed: "I'm ready. As long as I don't wash away the dragon blood from my body, I won't fear any pain." "
Alright, I'm going to get started." The old man nodded, and suddenly, the runes that had appeared before appeared again in his eyes.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Although Long Chen was prepared, the moment the pain hit, his teeth clenched so hard they almost shattered.
The blood inside his body instantly turned into countless spines, swirling and writhing inside him. All of Long Chen's nerves tensed up, and even his hair stood on end in pain.
But Long Chen kept silent throughout. The old man nodded and said, "That's right. Not just your people—even among the dragon clan experts, very few can stop this pain."
But you have to endure it—don't faint. In the midst of pain, feel the formation of your natal runes. Only then can you perfectly control the power of divine abilities. Long
Chen nodded vigorously. At this moment, he was in so much pain he couldn't speak, but the more it hurt, the more sensitive the sensations inside his body became.
Soon, Long Chen noticed that as the blood was rapidly flowing, fragments of fine runes formed. Once formed, they slowly surged toward his brow. The center of his brow glowed, and a rune changed from blurry to clear, finally bursting with divine light.
"Boom!"
The divine light shattered, and Long Chen's blood and energy ignited instantly, the sound of a dragon's roar echoing across heaven and earth.
