Chapter 118: The Dragon Transformation Pool Opens
“My jade talisman can withstand a full-power strike from a Void Return cultivator, and it was shattered just like that?”
In the next second, before you could strike again, Lan Shang actually dropped to his knees before you, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
“Fellow Daoist Shen Qiu — no, Senior! This junior was blind and failed to recognize your greatness. Please spare this junior’s life!”
You looked at Lan Shang, kneeling and begging, endlessly promising you benefits. You found it somewhat amusing. Were all the disciples of these great clans this quick to read the situation?
“Lan Shang! You truly bring shame upon the Eight Great Clans!” From afar, Wang Fei watched Lan Shang kowtow and beg, and mocked him aloud.
You turned back to glance at Wang Fei, and said with a light laugh, “If you want me to spare you, that’s fine too. Kill Wang Fei! Use his life to trade for yours!”
“You dare!” Wang Fei roared in fury.
“Thank you, Senior!” Lan Shang respectfully kowtowed once to you, then rose to his feet, killing intent radiating from his entire body as he looked toward Wang Fei. A spiritual artifact appeared in his hand, and he charged straight over to kill!
“To stay alive, I can only ask Fellow Daoist Wang Fei to go to his death!” Two Dharma cultivators at Avatar Consummation unleashed their attacks.
You paid the battle between the two no attention, and turned your head to look at the thirteen Spirit Transformation Consummation cultivators present who were watching the fight.
“Fellow Daoists, now, is the number sufficient?”
The crowd fell silent once more. Your earlier two moves, breaking Lan Shang’s life-preserving talisman, had already proven your strength. Naturally, no one would target you without cause.
You looked at the silent crowd, and said in a clear voice, “Since no one objects, shall we begin?”
The crowd exchanged glances, then began the sacrifice.
On the altar, the essence blood flowing from over a hundred Spirit Transformation cultivators covered the entire altar, and a profound formation was activated.
Instantly, the Spirit Transformation cultivators on the altar let out wave after wave of anguished wails, as if all the flesh and blood on their bodies were being devoured.
You watched this scene unfold before your eyes, unmoved within. After so many years of cultivation, you had experienced too many things like this. You were no longer that reckless youth who had just entered the cultivation world, standing up for others.
Over a hundred Spirit Transformation cultivators were drained by the formation into skeletons. The pure energy revived the entire formation, and the whole altar began to transform.
You saw, at the very center of the altar, a blood pool suddenly appear. Within the blood pool, you saw the silhouette of a dragon surface.
“ROAR!!!”
A dragon’s cry resounded through the heavens, and a powerful dragon might pressed down upon all of you, making it hard to breathe.
“Master, save me!” Xiao Long, who had been following at your side all along, was also pressed to the ground by this dragon might. Lacking in strength, it could only seek your help.
You extended a hand, directly lifting Xiao Long up from the ground, and it stood steadily at your side.
You fully circulated the Heavenly Lightning Body-Refining Art, and the full physical power of your Spirit Transformation Consummation body was unleashed. Heavenly Lightning power faintly surfaced on your body, beginning to contend against this dragon might.
At your side, the dozen or so Spirit Transformation Consummation cultivators had clearly come prepared as well. Each of them brought out a dharma artifact to resist.
After a long while, when the dragon might dispersed, fifteen small pools appeared above the Dragon Transformation Pool. These fifteen small pools were absorbing the blood from the great pool below.
“The Dragon Transformation Pool has appeared. Fellow Daoists, please!”
You watched the group of Spirit Transformation Consummation cultivators enter the formation. After nothing unusual appeared, you prepared to bring Xiao Long with you into the formation!
“The Dragon Transformation Pool is mine!!!” Behind you, Wang Fei, who had been battling Lan Shang, suddenly abandoned Lan Shang and charged toward the formation at extreme speed!
“You think you’re worthy?” The Immortal Sword appeared in your hand. A single slash, and it cut directly across Wang Fei’s necessary path.
But what you had never imagined was that Wang Fei would completely ignore your attack, abandoning all defensive measures, and forcefully withstand your sword strike!
“Hahahaha, the Dragon Transformation Pool, I’m coming!” Wang Fei, having taken your sword strike, sank into the formation and vanished.
You brought Xiao Long along behind him, stepping inside.
The moment you entered, you saw Wang Fei. At this moment, his entire body bore an extremely obvious sword scar, with threads of fresh blood seeping out from it.
“I’m in, I’m in! Hahahaha!” Wang Fei stood there and laughed hysterically. In the next second, Wang Fei clutched his throat with both hands, unable to utter another word.
Wang Fei’s eyes widened enormously, filled with terror, and a hint of unwillingness. A stream of blood spilled from within his body.
Then, more and more blood seeped from the sword scar. Wang Fei split apart from the middle, turning into two halves...
You looked at the already-dead Wang Fei, and extended your hand. Wang Fei’s storage ring appeared in your hand.
“Ho, this Wang Fei really was wealthy. He actually carried a hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones on him! And quite a few mid and high-grade Earth-Rank dharma artifacts!”
You looked at Wang Fei’s storage ring and knew you had struck it rich this time.
After dealing with Wang Fei, you finally looked at the Dragon Transformation Pool before you.
The thirteen Spirit Transformation Consummation cultivators had each already claimed a small pool. Now only the last two pools remained unclaimed.
“Go. Whether your bloodline can return to its ancestral roots this time depends on you!”
“Master’s grace, I will never forget it as long as I live!” Xiao Long prostrated on the ground, kowtowed once to you, then rose and entered the Dragon Transformation Pool.
You entered the last small Dragon Transformation Pool, soaking your entire body within it, circulating the Heavenly Lightning Body-Refining Art, absorbing the energy inside the pool.
A powerful energy surged into your blood. Phantom images of various demonic beasts appeared, roaring within your body, and then began to devour one another.
“What Dragon Transformation Pool? This is clearly just a blood pool formed from the essence blood of various demonic beasts!”
You sensed the phantoms formed from the various demonic beasts, and already had some understanding of this Dragon Transformation Pool.
Within your bloodline, threads of Heavenly Lightning power surfaced, flowing along your blood to every part of your body.
The demonic beast phantoms that had been devouring one another within your body instantly turned docile upon contact with the Heavenly Lightning power in your blood.
You used the Heavenly Lightning power within your body to forcefully shatter these demonic beast phantoms, absorbing the residual power of their essence blood, constantly strengthening yourself.
The Martial Way also requires the blood of powerful races to bathe the body. Then would the essence blood of these demonic beasts work? The thought of the Martial Way suddenly came to you. You had originally planned to use dragon blood to bathe yourself, but now you suddenly wanted to give it a try.
You began to circulate the Yi Jin Jing. The true qi within your body churned endlessly. Stimulated by the demonic beast essence blood, your blood began to gradually grow stronger.
Even more, your blood began to devour that pure energy within the demonic beast essence blood, strengthening itself!
