Chapter 27 - Blood Transmutation
Within Long Chen’s sea of consciousness, the bizarre dragon pattern carved onto the mysterious Dragon Jade Pendant was glowing. The black light enveloped the single drop of Inherited Blood Essence beneath it.
The Inherited Blood Essence howled against its restraints as it shook Long Chen’s sea of consciousness to no avail. The Dragon Jade Pendant was controlling it.
The drop of Inherited Blood Essence slowly floated towards the Dragon Jade Pendant and merged with it upon contact. The Dragon Jade Pendant was now a blood-red color.
Long Chen also saw that the dragon pattern had turned from black to blood red, and veins now covered it. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the veins on the dragon pattern resembled the dragon vein!
Long Chen didn’t have enough time to be surprised. He saw blood-red energy flowing through the dragon veins on the dragon pattern in a distinct direction. Long Chen memorized the pathway, ecstatic.
To think that I will be able to utilize my Qi like a martial technique if I copied that!
Both the Dragon Jade Pendant and the Inherited Blood Essence were extremely powerful items with mysterious backgrounds, thus the path revealed by the Dragon Jade Pendant that allowed him to use his Qi in a specific manner was naturally powerful too.
He quickly memorized it as the blood-red color on the Dragon Jade Pendant slowly faded away. The drop of Inherited Blood Essence separated from it and was suppressed once more beneath the jade pendant.
Long Chen didn’t have time to theorize about the Dragon Jade Pendant. He circulated his Qi through his dragon veins, guided by what he had just seen. In that instant, Long Chen felt his soul throb. He immediately knew the name and the effect of the technique.
“Blood Transmutation ... To think that it could refine the blood of my enemies into Qi that I can use. It’s much more powerful than eating spirit jade or refining a demonic core as a Beast Warrior!
“This technique is immensely strong even though it doesn’t have an assigned tier!”
Long Chen used the secret technique on the Blood Lizard’s heart in his hand, exerting a mysterious power on the Blood Lizard.
Long Chen could tell the Blood Lizard was experiencing excruciating pain. He didn’t want it to suffer so he destroyed its heart and killed it in an instant.
When the Blood Lizard died, the Blood Transmutation made its blood fly towards Long Chen.
Every single scale on Long Chen’s body absorbed the blood as if they had grown a giant mouth.
The Blood Transmutation’s powerful influence caused the drops of blood to explode continuously as it expelled the impurities from Long Chen’s body. The blood that was left behind transformed into pure blood-red Qi and merged with Long Chen’s dantian Qi.
The power contained within the blood of the Blood Lizard was comparable to that of a hundred spirit jades. After experiencing the benefits, the hungry Long Chen turned his gaze towards the rest of the Blood Lizards.
With the support of the extremely powerful Blood Transmutation, Long Chen massacred the remaining Blood Lizards. Even though he was only at the Fifth Draconic Stage, he was still stronger than the Blood Lizards, and the bone spines shredded the Blood Lizards as though they were tofu.
As he consumed more and more of their blood, Long Chen’s hunger slowly dissipated. His Qi slowly returned to its usual amount he used to have before touching the Dragon Seal. However, the quality of the Qi was ten times higher than it used to be!
Ling Xi felt sorry for the Blood Lizards when she observed Long Chen’s frenzy, but in the end, demonic beasts and humans were different species. It was normal for humans to hunt demonic beasts and the stronger demonic beasts killed humans.
The demonic beasts didn’t have intelligence, so she couldn’t say much. Long Chen killed them first before using the Blood Transmutation; at the very least, he wasn’t driven to insanity by the bloody killing intent within the Inherited Blood Essence.
Long Chen was about to stop when he heard Ling Xi’s panicked voice.
“Long Chen, there’s a massive beast underground! It has Category 7 Yellow-tier strength. Should we escape?”
A Category 7 Yellow-tier beast could easily kill Long Chen before he obtained the Inherited Blood Essence.
She had no idea how much stronger Long Chen was now, so she had to check in with him first. Long Chen was surprised by it too.
“A Category 7 Yellow-tier beast. I suppose it's a good subject to test my strength on ...”
A Category 7 Yellow-tier beast was stronger than an ordinary Seventh Draconic Stage cultivator.
The earth shook, and there was a dragon-like roar from below as mud exploded out. A massive blood-red monster appeared in front of Long Chen.
It was much larger than a Blood Lizard, and blood-red scales covered its entire body, which spanned more than twenty meters. Its blood-red eyes were larger than a washbasin. It was a monstrous beast.
“It’s a Underground Blood Lizard King! No wonder there were so many Blood Lizards around here. It was due to the presence of the king!”
Long Chen stood his ground against the intense pressure of the Blood Lizard King.
The Blood Lizard King was furious after seeing Long Chen kill so many Blood Lizards. Even though it felt a mysterious aura from Long Chen, it was not enough to stop its anger.
“Looks like this ugly bastard is trying to kill me. Too bad you are nothing but food!”
Long Chen’s eyes were cold as he moved ten times faster. He was nothing but a blur of red within the cave. However, the tongue of the Blood Lizard King was also very fast.
Long Chen had just taken a step when the blood-red tongue instantly appeared at the top of his head. The power behind the tongue was overwhelming. Long Chen bellowed and punched. To his surprise, the Blood Lizard King’s tongue was almost as strong as he was. Its attack forced Long Chen’s legs to sink into the ground.
“Fine, I just ate and don’t have time to toy with you! I haven’t used the Vast Dragon Seal since learning it, so this is a good opportunity for you to taste its prowess!”
Long Chen lowered his head. His eyes were already blood red when they beamed out a strong, cold light. Even though he had paws for hands, they didn’t affect the construction of the seal. A blood-red stream of air condensed and circulated between his palms, and he launched a strong force towards the Blood Lizard King as he completed the Vast Dragon Seal.
“Vast Dragon Seal!”
The blood-red Qi transformed into a small dragon, and it coiled around Long Chen’s palm. The Blood Lizard King felt the fear of death, and it retreated.
In an instant, the dim cave was filled with a bright red light. The blood-red dragon launched itself at the Blood Lizard King’s head. When the dragon roared, the sound tore the Blood Lizard King’s head completely apart and it died on the spot.
Category 7 Yellow-tier beast–dead!
It was the most powerful enemy that Long Chen had killed so far. Long Chen estimated that even Bai Shiji would not be able to harm the Blood Lizard King.
Long Chen did not let the corpse go to waste as he sensed the strong energy of its blood. He jumped onto the back of the Blood Lizard King and used Blood Transmutation. A large amount of blood surged out of the Blood Lizard King’s corpse.
There were several tons of blood, but Long Chen was a glutton. He expelled ninety percent of the blood as impurities and absorbed the remaining ten percent and merged it into his dantian.
The blood essence from a Category 7 demonic beast was no joke. Long Chen felt his Qi reach a breaking point.
He had been suffering from hunger but now he was suffering from overeating. It was time for him to break through the sixth dragon vein.
He sat cross-legged on the Blood Lizard King’s corpse. His Qi transformed into a blood-red dragon as it roared and advanced towards the sixth dragon vein.
Long Chen was shocked to find that the blood-red dragon-like Qi possessed a certain amount of intelligence. It was bloody and cruel. The sixth dragon vein was insignificant against the blood-red dragon. Long Chen’s Qi had already reached the limit of a Fifth Draconic Stage cultivator, and it was surprisingly easy for him to break through the Sixth Draconic Stage.
It had not been fifteen minutes when he broke through the sixth dragon vein. A large amount of nature’s spiritual energy surged into his body. He was now a Sixth Draconic Stage cultivator. 𝐟𝗿𝗲𝗲𝐰𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺fr eeweb novel
He had managed to break through the Sixth Draconic Stage before the Demon Hunting Tournament. Long Chen smiled after sensing the robust strength within him.
Long Chen did not want to linger after making such a large commotion. He immediately exited the burrow and headed towards the opening. Along the way, he worried over his appearance. What should I do?
Just as he was racking his brain, he felt a strange itch. The scales and spines slowly disappeared into his body. Soon he was back to his usual appearance.
He felt the Inherited Blood Essence that covered his entire body slowly condense into a small red dot on his forehead.
His blood-red Qi, which was ten times stronger than regular Qi, slowly faded too. But the remaining Qi contained a sliver of the blood-red Qi. He found out that even his regular Qi was four times stronger than ordinary Qi!
The explosive strength that came with his transformation slowly faded.
Still, he was much stronger than other Sixth Draconic Stage cultivators. When he included his cultivation of the Dragon Seal, he was confident that he could fight a Seventh Draconic Stage cultivator like Bai Shiji!
Long Chen felt a bit of regret as his bizarre appearance faded. It was his strongest form but he couldn’t walk around people looking like that, so he had no choice.
I wonder if I can transform like that again. I should be able to do it with the help of the mysterious Dragon Jade Pendant.
Still, he was strong enough to win the Demon Hunting Tournament even without transforming.
It was silent after he transformed back. Then, Ling Xi asked him excitedly. “Long Chen, what type of dragon gave you the Inherited Blood Essence?”
