Chapter 799: Blood Core Morphs (1/2)

The Blood Core had been in the form of a bone slip when he had first obtained it.

After he had carried it around and nourished it with his own flesh power for so many years, and adding in the flame power it had gathered over all these years, it had gone through many mild changes.

It had gone through a significant change when it had reunited with the Flame Dragon Armor.

The Blood Core had long since shed its form as a bone slip, and assumed the form of a dark-red walnut that was the size of a fist.

DRIP! DRIP!

Drops of Blood Essence that were as translucent and sparkling as red agate dripped on the Blood Core.

Immediately afterwards, the Blood Core that looked like a dried walnut absorbed all ten drops of Blood Essence like a sponge absorbing water.

It suddenly seemed full of life again.

The fine, densely-packed furrows on the Blood Core’s surface that looked like dried rivers seemed to be filled with water again, giving rise to vigorous life force.

Like rivers of flames, countless streams of fiery light flew out of the Flame Dragon Armor and fused into the Blood Core, which continued to gather flame power and induce some sort of upheaval with the help of Nie Tian’s Blood Essence.

BANG! BANG!

After a long time, incomparably clear heartbeats suddenly came from the Blood Core.

Nie Tian instantly sensed ecstasy in the Flame Dragon Armor’s soul.

The Flame Dragon Armor was almost mad with joy as it called out, “Master! I feel like I’ve been reborn! Your Blood Essence has infused me with new life force!”

Nie Tian’s eyes instantly lit up.

He vaguely sensed that a small heart seemed to come to form inside the Blood Core that looked like a walnut. It seemed to be a condensation of flame power and his ten drops of Blood Essence.

Before, he had only been able to sense flame power from the Blood Core and the Flame Dragon Armor.

But now, he sensed distinct life force burst forth from within the Blood Core.

This Flame Dragon Armor had been forged by taking a bone from the remains of a flame dragon, erasing its old memories from its soul and refining them with all kinds of special spiritual materials.

Originally, it was nothing but a spiritual tool. Even though it had its own spirit and awareness, it was bereft of any life force.

However, as his Blood Essence dripped and fused into it, it seemed to be vested with flesh and blood, as if it was being given life!

The Flame Dragon Armor’s soul was very excited as it yelled, “Master! I need more earthflame essence and earthflame crystal strings!”

Nie Tian examined it with rapt attention, starlight shining in his pupils, enabling him to see through the Blood Core’s surface and into its depths.

He saw numerous sparkling fiery strings at the heart of the Blood Core, as if they were the earthflame crystal strings it had gathered. Not only did they contain fierce flame power, but they were also branded with the profound truths of flame power.

Numerous fiery strings were wreathing a heart that was only the size of a thumb.

The fiery strings were like fibers that were providing the tiny heart with flame power and helping it reforge its Bloodline Crystal Chains.

He wasn’t sure how these changes were helping the Blood Core.

However, he decided to give the Flame Dragon Armor what it desired.

“You’re free to take the earthflame essence and earthflame crystal strings in the volcanoes within a five kilometer radius.” Nie Tian gave the range. “Remember, five kilometers. Don’t exceed this range!”

He was worried that the Flame Dragon Armor would act without restraint and ruin the environment of the entire Realm of Withering Flame, therefore infuriating his senior martial brother.

“Enough! That’s more than enough!” The Flame Dragon Armor exclaimed cheerfully.

SHEW!

In the next moment, the Flame Dragon Armor flew away from Nie Tian to another nearby volcano, and instantly sank into its heart.

That volcano seemed very active, as if it could erupt at any moment. However, as the Flame Dragon Armor plunged into its heart, it seemed as if it had instantly reached the end of its life and died.

Moments later, Nie Tian couldn’t sense even the slightest flame power fluctuations from within the volcano anymore.

Then, the Flame Dragon Armor morphed into a streak of flames that shot out of that volcano’s mouth and rapidly plunged into its next target.

Sitting in the lotus position in the Star Boat, Nie Tian started to have a fatigued feeling as he watched the Flame Dragon Armor madly gather earthflame essence and earthflame crystal strings.

This feeling of fatigue originated from his loss of those ten drops of Blood Essence.

“Even though I’m not quite sure what wondrous uses my Blood Essence has, once I lose it, I feel powerless,” He muttered to himself. “This isn’t a good sign... I’d better find more flesh power and regenerate the ten drops of Blood Essence I’ve given to the Flame Dragon Armor as soon as possible.”

Inside the city...

Duan Shihu and Jing Rou were cuddling and talking to each other in low voices.
