"What?"
Guo Ran was so scared his soul nearly flew out of his wits: "Boss, you're just trying to scare me, aren't you?" Long
Chen said apologetically, "I don't want to lie to you. From now on, your life is already counting down." "
No way, boss, you must have a way to save me." Guo Ran was on the verge of tears.
"Idiot, once a person is born, their life starts counting down." Tang Wan'er couldn't stand it anymore and cursed in frustration.
"Boss, are you messing with me?" Guo Ran was both surprised and delighted.
"Playing your foot. Right now, no one else is serious. You and Xia Chen are too weak to resist the curse's spread. You'll surely die within two years." Long Chen said irritably,
"Others have strong physiques and can hold out longer, because we were all born on the Tianwu Continent. The curse of the Star Domain Divine Realm will be canceled by its will. As long as you can withstand it, it will gradually disappear without causing much impact. The only ones who can be affected are you two."
Alright, enough talk. I've already thought of a way to save my life. Whether you can survive depends on whether you can save yourselves. "
Buzz"
As Long Chen said this, the secret chamber door opened, revealing a divine pool made of immortal metal, filled with blood.
The moment the gate opened, a terrifying scent of blood and a raging will swept over. Everyone's souls trembled, and the roar of a giant dragon echoed within their sea of consciousness.
The terrifying dragon might made their souls tremble; one by one, their faces changed drastically, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, their hearts filled with fear.
"This is ...!" Everyone was shocked. Even facing death, they had never been so terrified.
Long Chen said, "This is the dragon blood from the Blood Pool inside the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest. A dragon that can drip its essence blood into the pool must be at the thirteenth rank and have extremely pure bloodline."
They are the elite of the dragon clan, gathering countless dragon essence blood over countless millennia. What I obtained is the last part of the essence blood, the essence of the essence.
You all practice the Dragon Blood Body Refining Technique, so you are very sensitive to this kind of dragon blood. This is the pressure of the bloodline.
To completely erase the curse within you, you need to re-temper your bodies with dragon blood and rebuild them with dragon blood.
After being transformed, your flesh and blood will become stronger, and you will carry a trace of the Dragon King's pressure. Those curses will be completely erased. In
the Star Domain Divine Realm, Long Chen originally wanted the Dragon Blood Warriors to fuse with the essence blood of ten thousand dragons, but Ling Xi stopped him. She told Long Chen that dragons existed in every world.
It would be better to let them fuse their essence blood on the Tianwu Continent, which would make it easier to summon the protection of dragon clan spirits and be more effective. So Long Chen stayed here to fuse them.
"Ten Thousand Dragon Essence Blood?"
"Dragon King pressure?"
Gu Yang and the others couldn't help but swallow nervously. They hadn't expected Long Chen to have such a terrifying treasure—this was exactly what they needed most.
After merging with the essence blood of Ten Thousand Dragons, their Dragon Blood Battle Body would see their combat power surge again. When everyone's phenomena fused, the power would ... It's simply unimaginable.
For a moment, everyone was overjoyed and wished they could rush into the blood pool right now.
"But let me make it clear: within the essence blood of the Ten Thousand Dragons, there is also the will of all the great dragons. Because we are humans, the rejection will be very strong.
You all understand the pride of the dragon clan—only by gaining their approval can you absorb their blood essence power.
I trust your willpower, but Xia Chen and Guo Ran, you two need to be mentally prepared. Long Chen said to Xia Chen and Guo Ran.
Upon hearing this, their expressions changed instantly, and a bad feeling welled up in their hearts. Sure enough, Long Chen's next words sank their hearts to rock bottom.
"Because you two have long urged Zhao Ritian to dig for immortal gold, you've suffered the deepest karmic curse. If you want to wash away the curse, you'll endure a long pain.
If during the baptism you become lax due to lack of determination, both of you will die, and neither can save you. Long Chen said solemnly in a deep voice.
"It can't be that serious, right?" Guo Ran was stunned.
"Perhaps it's more severe than you imagine. Dragon might contains a sacred aura and is the nemesis of curses. So, you must at least endure the dragon blood baptism for seven days and nights.
To avoid disturbing you, I specially set up a baptism pool for both of you, and inside the baptism pool is a timed hourglass. "
Long Chen spoke, patting their shoulders with a complicated expression as he said, "Brothers, you all need to survive. There are so many brothers, and we all need you." "
You all should enter the Ten Thousand Dragon Blood Pool." Long Chen said to Gu Yang and the others.
Gu Yang and the others had been impatient for a long time. He was the first to rush in, but as soon as he jumped into the blood pool, he immediately screamed and flew out.
When Gu Yang flew out, everyone noticed his whole body was blood-red, like a cooked shrimp, covered in countless blisters.
Everyone was shocked. Gu Yang's body was incredibly tough—even thrown into lava, it was as easy as taking a hot shower. But as soon as he entered the blood pool, he was immediately burned, and all his defenses were useless against it.
"Don't worry, the reason Gu Yang reacted so strongly is because the blood pool is repelling.
The dragon blood you once obtained was too low in grade and not pure enough, and the quality of the essence blood in the pool was too high, which led to rejection.
In the blood pool, you must first undergo the test of dragon blood, which includes tearing your flesh and the oppression of dragon might.
But none of you will be in mortal danger. Enter the blood pool and hold your true heart. Facing the pressure of the dragon's might, fight back with all your might. Don't worry about offending them.
Only the strong earn their recognition; if there is even a hint of fear, forget about obtaining the blessing of essence blood to transform the body. Long Chen warned sternly.
"Thud!"
Gu Yang's face was covered in blisters, but after hearing Long Chen say that, he immediately jumped in. Gu Yang's teeth clenched loudly, looking terrifying. He endured immense pain.
After just a few breaths, Gu Yang's expression began to calm down, lying in the pool of blood as if asleep.
"He's already recognized by Long Wei." Long Chen nodded. Gu Yang was indeed strong and possessed strong willpower, earning Long Wei's recognition so quickly.
Seeing Gu Yang gain recognition so quickly, everyone was instantly energized. Li Qi and Song Mingyuan also walked over.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, Gu Yang, lying in the blood pool, let out a piercing scream. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes nearly bulged. Li Qi and Song Mingyuan had just reached the edge of the pool and were so frightened they nearly fell in.
Gu Yang screamed agonally, and countless bloody marks appeared on his face and arms, with flesh slowly tearing apart.
"Don't make a fuss. He passed the test of Dragon Might, gained recognition, and then began flesh and blood recasting. The dragon blood inside him will be removed using the most violent methods. Hmm, it will hurt a little." Long Chen remained very calmTunnel.
A little pain? Everyone watched Gu Yang's piercing screams, sweat streaming down their foreheads. Was this really just a little?
Li Qi and Song Mingyuan exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and jumped in too. Both were legion commanders of the Dragonblood Legion, and everyone was watching—they couldn't afford to back down.
As soon as the two entered, they immediately let out a muffled groan, gritting their teeth and holding on, refusing to let themselves cry out.
"Let's go. We share blessings and hardships together."
"Thud, thud, thud... The
other Dragonblood warriors braced themselves and jumped down one after another. They couldn't wait any longer, because if they kept watching, they feared they wouldn't have the courage to go down.
For a moment, the screams of the Dragonblood warriors echoed back and forth, the blood pool felt like hell on earth. Mengqi and the others felt their scalps tingle, unable to bear to witness their miserable state.
Because when they saw Gu Yang, who went down first, his entire face had peeled off, his flesh and blood a mess, looking terrifying.
"Let's go, let's go to the blood pool specially prepared for you two." Long Chen looked at Xia Chen and Guo Ran and said.
Xia Chen's face turned pale with fright, but he still forced himself to follow. Guo Ran grabbed Xia Chen, tears streaming down his face, his voice choked with tears:
"Bro, hold me up. I feel like my leg has its own thoughts, it doesn't really want to follow."
"Bro, don't force me, my legs are weak too." Xia Chen was about to cry too. This was just too terrifying. He was just a formation cultivator, physically weak, and even when he entered the blood pool, he was worse than Guo Ran. After all, Guo Ran was also a half-baked warrior.
"We're here," Long Chen said,
pointing to a secret room ahead. "This chamber shares with the other. You two can hear each other's voices, but to prevent you from going insane from excessive pain and hurting each other, we've separated you from everything."
Guo Ran, my good brother, stop. When the curse is lifted, you still have to lead the Dragonblood Legion against the gods. Promise me, stay alive. Guo
Ran: "Boss, I ..."
"Ah..."
Before Guo Ran could finish, Long Chen grabbed him and threw him into the blood pool of the secret chamber. Guo Ran's screams erupted instantly.
"Bang!"
Long Chen closed the door, only hearing Guo Ran's desperate struggles and screams. Chu Yao and the others felt a pang of sympathy; Guo Ran was afraid of pain the most, and now he might be half dead.
"Boss, I'll do it myself."
The second secret chamber was opened, and Xia Chen looked very manly, signaling that he had the courage to step inside.
"Thud"
When Xia Chen gritted his teeth and jumped into the blood pool, he looked dazed. Although there was a slight sting, it wasn't that exaggerated, was it?
"Boss, you ..."
Mengqi suddenly covered her cherry lips and smiled at Long Chen, saying, "You're really mean, tricking everyone." "
Lie?" Tang Wan'er and the others looked utterly incredulous.
"All that talk about the sacred aura of Dragon Might suppressing curses was just his nonsense. If it really could, Long Chen wouldn't have been cursed by Gui Yan back then, instead of going to Dan Valley to ask the second volume of the Great Brahma Heaven Sutra to lift the curse." Mengqi said with a smile.
Only then did everyone suddenly understand. Long Chen chuckled and said, "Otherwise, how could we have fooled Guo Ran, that sly, tricky guy?" Xia
Chen's mouth dropped open, his face full of disbelief. They had all been fooled by Long Chen.
Long Chen said to Xia Chen, "Your dragon blood was treated with medication and modified to suit your constitution. Otherwise, you really would have died."
You just need to soak here quietly, slowly resisting and adapting to dragon might, so that when the Dragonblood Legion unleashes its full force later, dragon might injure you. Besides, you still have missions. "
What mission?" Xia Chen said hurriedly.
Long Chen pointed at the neighboring room and smiled sinisterly, "Just pretending to be in the same pain, encouraging Guo Ran to hang in there. You know what I mean, right?"
Seven days is nonsense. This guy only needs to hold out for three days, and his combat power will improve dramatically. With the support of the battle armor, he'll become even stronger. Whether he can become even stronger depends entirely on you. At
this moment, Guo Ran was struggling desperately in the blood pool. He never dreamed that he had already been outmaneuvered by the boss he respected most.
