Chapter 25 (2/2)

[TL Note: (龙无尺木不能升天) Metre Wood: In Chinese wood can mean earth, so Metre Wood literally means “From earth to heaven.” this can be understood as “Ascending to heavens.”]

[TL Note: (逆鱗) Reverse Scale: The Chinese Dragons do contain a rough spot, a Reverse Scale below their chins. When it is touched, it causes them to rage and devastate the earth with their rampaging power. This is their weak spot.]

What Long Chen saw, was a Dragon G.o.d such as this!

However in a flash this Dragon G.o.d had faded and the blood red colour on the [Seal of the Dragons] scroll had also begun to disappear. Finally it had condensed into a drop, a drop of deep red blood, which floated before Long Chen’s eyes!

This drop of blood, had harnessed an aura that was making Long Chen shudder uncontrollably. Earlier, that ancient yet bloodthirsty aura had magnified to several thousand times. Long Chen at this moment could feel that his brains were about to split open. He gave a cry of agony, and his eyes opened wide.

Looking at this scene, Lingxi was even more horrified and she started screaming.

Long Chen could faintly see that within this drop of blood, it was as if there was an endless and vast world. And that world was filled with an endless blood red colour; blood red skies, and blood red seas.

Long Chen knew this; even if all the humans in the world were slayed, it still wouldn’t be enough to gather so much blood.

At this time, Long Chen felt as if he was within these seas!

He looked on terrified, and in the expanse of these blood seas which seemed endless, there were waves continually surging, as if there was a colossal beast hidden within, so colossal that it could fill these seas.

Long Chen flew above the vast sky, and shuddered as he looked down into the seas. Under that boundless blood sea, there was a figure so gigantic that he could now see. This figure was coiled around. Looking at its shape, it should be……a dragon?

At this point, the entire blood sea violently shook, and that huge figure within, slowly raised it’s head and gave a cry of dragon’s roar, which crossed over the boundaries of time and s.p.a.ce and violently crashed into Long Chen’s ear!

Long Chen instantly opened his eyes and surprisingly discovered that he was actually still inside the cave. The drop of blood was still floating in front of his eyes.

Inside this drop, there was actually a dragon that was flipping and roaring with rage, and it was making Long Chen’s emotions surge!

“Father, what is this? I have only heard of legends of the Red Dragon and the Green Dragon. An even higher rank should be the Five Talons Golden Dragon. But I’ve never heard of an existence of a dragon like this, that is actually blood red!”

“Is this the Murderous Ghost Shadow Blood Dragon? Not right……it’s definitely not!”

Lingxi’s voice had also rang beside Long Chen’s ears!

At this moment of Long Chen’s shock, that drop of blood, had infused between Long Chen’s eyebrows in a flash, and seeped in.

Long Chen had momentarily felt a rush of dark and cold aura spread throughout his whole body!

Long Chen had absolutely no way to resist that fearsome aura. His strength was simply too weak while going against this blood drop. If the blood drop had any intentions of killing him, he would have long ago died, ending up without a corpse!

That blood red droplet, was like a poisonous medicine, quickly spreading throughout his body. Long Chen at this moment had momentarily felt the taste of death!

He himself knew this; the drop of blood was too extreme of an existence for him, so even if it did not have any intentions to hurt Long Chen, he would still die because of it!

When the drop of red blood had entered his body it started tearing and devastating everything. Long Chen suddenly thought of a point, Long Qinglan had let him obtain the [Seal of the Dragons], but he never asked him to become a Dragon Warrior right now. If Lingxi didn’t appear, Long Chen would definitely not have had the power to break the barrier. Long Qinglan felt that when Long Chen could make contact and find someone who could actually break this barrier, Long Chen would at that point have the ability to withstand this red drop of blood. But it so happened that a barrier breaking genius like Lingxi had appeared earlier than Long Qinglan expected!

So right now, this was an extremely dangerous situation for Long Chen to be in.

Because of the repercussions, Long Chen already knew that his life was gradually fading away, and his consciousness was slowly becoming blurry.

While dying, he started thinking of many things.

“This……is the inheritance of the blood essence……”

“The dragons of the legends, actually have such a fearsome existence……”

“Without me, Lingxi also cannot live. I am all to blame for this……”

Those few thoughts appeared hazily. Long Chen had a very strong parting regret, so he was not resigned to die like this, he still had many things he had to accomplish!

At this point, the Mysterious Dragon Jade Pendant in his consciousness had started moving. And the originally veined pattern of that greyish and dark figure on the Mysterious Dragon Jade Pendant, had at this point let out a faint black light. A strong suction force had formed in the air, and the drop of red blood which had entered Long Chen’s body earlier gave a cry of fury!

This was the roar of a dragon; Long Chen had heard it distinctly!

Because of the change from this Mysterious Dragon Jade Pendant, Long Chen who was about to die, had regained some consciousness. At this moment he could sluggishly feel that all the dragon blood which had infiltrated his body, had actually converged to a place within his body, as if undergoing a suction process.

The dragon blood had spread all over his body earlier but now it converged back into the red drop of blood. It then vanished from Long Chen’s body. In the next moment, it had actually appeared inside Long Chen’s consciousness, and appeared beneath the Mysterious Dragon Jade Pendant!

The Inherited Blood Essence was staying there suspended. Looking at it, it seemed to have been suppressed!

The Dragon G.o.d within that red drop of blood was continuously roaring.

“Exactly, what kind of existence is the Mysterious Dragon Jade Pendant that it can suppress something as fearsome as the Inherited Blood Essence!?”

Only then did Long Chen regain his consciousness. After escaping from death, he heaved a sigh of relief. However at this time he could sense that the red drop of blood had not been fully sucked away, there was still a one thousandth of the droplet inside his body!

As the other Inherited Blood Essence had been absorbed away, this one thousandth of the droplet had started to consume all of Long Chen’s blood, and had expanded, instantly rushing towards his whole body!

At this point, the Mysterious Dragon Jade Pendant no longer had any movements. A wave of acute pain had started to spread from Long Chen’s skin!
