426 Fie and Liriu Breakthorughs (2/2)

”Hahaha! Great, you didn't let this grandfather down.”

With Laex himself helping him, Liriu's Foundation Establishment passed without any issues. But as soon as Liriu finished his breakthrough, something unexpected happened. A Heavenly Tribulation also came for him!

Tiane, Ruik, and everyone else were taken aback, including Laex.

”Were there supposed to have a Heavenly Tribulation with a Dragon Foundation?”

Laex immediately shook his head.

”Lots of reptile races try to create Dragon Foundations, some succeed, others not. Still, I've never heard about a Heavenly Tribulation after a Dragon Foundation is formed.”

Suddenly, Liriu sent a Divine Sense message.

”Mom, dad, big brother. My body feels weird.”

They were taken aback and immediately used their Divine Sense to check Liriu's body. Let alone Tiane and Ruik, even Laex was shocked by what he was seeing.

Liriu's Elemental Meridians had connected his Dragon Foundation to the Dragon blood in his body. Somehow, the Dragon blood was transforming Liriu's Dragon foundation entirely. In exchange, the concentration of Dragon blood was increasing at a very fast pace.

”No, it is not increasing, it is changing his blood completely. That... There is some other kind of blood in his body before. Thanks to the Dragon blood I gave him, it seems like to be awakening.”

Laex then looked at Tiane, the mother. Suddenly an idea appeared in his mind.

'It can't be, can it?'

Tiane and Ruik felt extremely nervous. They wanted to help, but no external help is allowed during a Heavenly Tribulation. If they did so, not only wouldn't it help, the power of the Tribulation would increase even more.

Suddenly, Liriu roared.

Roarr!

The sound of that Roar made Laex, a pure-blooded Dragon, feel chills on his back. It wasn't powerful, nor was it that loud. But something in that roar made his Dragon Blood tremble!

The Heavenly Tribulation came down and enveloped Liriu in Tribulation Fire. However, there was no sign of the Fire hurting him. If anything, it seemed more like his body and Foundation were absorbing the power of the Heavenly Tribulation utterly.

With his Divine Sense, Laex could see the chance on Liriu's blood. The Dragon Blood concentration was disappearing. Not only that, but even Liriu's normal blood was changing too. In their place, a new type of blood was being formed and replaced the old ones. That blood then started a qualitative change in both Liriu's body and Foundation. It was evident that the Elemental Meridians, which were making the connection between both, seemed to be the reason behind it.

Liriu's feathers and scales began to grow together with his body. The Dragon Foundation that he had created using Laex's Dragon Form changed along with it, taking a form identical to Liriu's new body. The most impressive thing is that the power used for that transformation was none other than the Tribulation Fire!

The Heavenly Tribulation dured one hour before disappearing. Finally, everyone could see Liriu's new form. He had increased in size by more than two times. Fortunately, Liriu was quite small to start with. So now, he was only at the size of an average human. Ruik's snake body, for example, was a lot bigger than that at the moment. A Demon Beast increase in size after a cultivation breakthrough was nothing rare to either.

Tiane and Ruik immediately rushed over and held him. It was evident that Liriu was feeling very tired and could barely move at the moment. Fortunately, their Divine Sense told them that he wasn't in any risky situation.

But surprisingly, his color changed. His body scales and feathers turned fiery red. One could even see some flames come from them now and then. After seeing this scene, Laex's blood ran cold. It was as if he had seen a ghost.

”Impossible!”
