Chapter 1046: Chapter 1046: I Want to Inherit the Dragon’s Strength Too! (Super Major Chapter) Chapter 1046: Chapter 1046: I Want to Inherit the Dragon’s Strength Too! (Super Major Chapter) Now, the entire island was engulfed in silence.
A sturdy youth, a subordinate of the “Zhuangzi Xiu,” a genius from the Dragon List, strides forward with fervent gaze and steps onto the ancient and sacred altar. His heart was incredibly excited, every cell boiling with anticipation. He could sense that sothing extraordinary was about to happen to him!
Whether it was Huangfu Tianjiao and other prodigies or the cultivators on the square watching the spectacle, they were all holding their breath in rapt attention. After all, no one knew what was to co!
Even Huang Xiaolong was clueless!
Finally, the sturdy youth arrived at the altar.
It seed as if guided by a will from beyond the void, he was directed to the very center of the altar. His body, his face, all turned toward the dragon head and the gaping, enormous dragon maw!
The next mont!
A mystical phenonon occurred!
Boom~~~!!!!
The desolate altar began to light up!
It looked as if the altar was ignited directly by the youth’s presence!
The whole structure radiated with a celestial glow and auspicious aura!
The altar seed to be blessed with a powerful benediction!
The inscriptions on the altar’s surface—script unknown to mankind—thrived and ca to life, with virtual images of each character rising like fireflies, thick and nurous.
The altar was bathed in beauty and grandeur, a majestic and marvelous sight to behold!
Even the four geniuses from the Dragon List found the scene utterly incredible!
“A miracle! This is what you call a miracle!” Huangfu Tianjiao exclaid in amazent. “It’s indeed hard to imagine~~”
“Heh~~ According to legend, the so-called dragons do not belong to this space and ti but are creatures of another plane, who occasionally descend upon our world,” the Young Master Luoxue bragged about his knowledge.
‘Oh~~ It seems that it’s the dragon bloodline in that guy’s body that has activated a Formation on the altar. And this Formation is connected to a place that is extrely distant and ethereal~~~’ Huang Xiaolong nodded slightly, his curiosity ever-growing.
At that mont, the dragon head statue on the altar saw its eyes suddenly light up!
Thus, the dragon head statue seed to have been granted life! Vivid and lifelike! From the depths of the dragon’s eyes burst a domineering presence that seed to overlook the world!
This was the first ti the dragon’s eyes had opened wide!
It was intense, suffocating, compelling one to submit. Even the four geniuses of the Dragon List were not exempt.
At the sa ti—
Roar~~~!
The open dragon mouth emitted a dragon chant, and a divine light shone forth onto the sturdy youth.
This light, as soon as it erupted from the maw, transford into a purple dragon-shaped virtual image! With scales, horns, and whiskers, vivid and lifelike!
The dragon-shaped shadow saturated the youth’s body like a divine baptism, then wildly coursed through his internals!
Beneath the sturdy youth’s skin, among his organs, resonated a roar reminiscent of ancient primordial dragons!
Then, within every cell of his entire body, there was the terrifying sound of popping and crackling.
Spurt~spurt~~spurt~~spurt~~
Clumps of dark, fetid impurities sprayed from the youth’s pores.
The impurities were being forced out!
Within the body, the bones, the guts… years of accumulated impurities were expelled, and at the sa ti, the sturdy youth’s body seed to go through a purification.
“Roar~~~!” The sturdy youth couldn’t help but bellow, like the chant of a dragon, powerful enough to swallow mountains and rivers!
His height shot up by several inches!
With a clench of his fist, the air itself burst with noise.
Strength!
The sturdy youth had gained strength!
This was not the True Qi of ancient martial arts, nor was it Mana, nor any other power, but rather, the strength that belonged to ancient dragons—the Dragon Force!
With a sweep of his divine sense, Huang Xiaolong saw a gaseous purple dragon shadow coiled within the youth’s Dantian, bursting with a masculine and explosive force.
“Oh, so he has inherited a strand of Dragon Force. This kind of force is purer, more direct, violent~~~” Huang Xiaolong assessed continuously in his mind. “A single strand of Dragon Force is roughly equivalent to the power of 2000 strands of True Qi condensed by a Grandmaster of ancient martial arts. Wow~ Impressive. Back when I was in the Central Plains of Huaxia, the Grandmasters of ancient martial families would condense up to a hundred strands of True Qi at most, while the possessed Crown Prince Xuanyuan Ba had only condensed a few hundred.”
“That ans, inheriting a single strand of Dragon Force would easily crush any Great Grandmaster of ancient martial arts from the Central Plains of Huaxia, and with just a flick of a finger, no less.”
“Hahaha~~~ So, this is the so-called inheritance of dragon power! Good, it’s indeed very profound!” The genius Zhuang Zixiu issued a triumphant roar. “Indeed magnificent! Since the ergence of this Dragon Relic, neither we nor the sage cultivators from the overseas world have ever witnessed anyone successfully inheriting dragon power. Today marks the very first ti! It must be said, we all have witnessed history!”
Observers on the plaza were completely enthralled, their emotions surging.
“It truly is a miracle~~” Zhan Tang, standing beside Huang Xiaolong, also exclaid in awe.
As the saying goes, ‘in the blink of an eye’—
“Roar~~~!”
From the dragon head sculpture, the gaping maw of the dragon erupted with a second dragon roar, and the second dragon-shaped phantom followed, gushing forth and once again infusing into the robust youth’s body.
Dirt and impurities deep within his body were again expelled in a burst.
With just a slight movent of his muscles, he emitted a terrifying sound like the clashing of tal.
His strength soared once again!
“The second one!!!! The second wave of dragon power!” Zhuang Zixiu bood with a powerful voice.
Roar~~~!
The third dragon-shaped phantom poured into the robust youth’s body.
Among the crowd in the plaza, an onlooker shouted in a sharp voice, “The third wave of dragon power!”
The atmosphere was boiling with excitent.
Roar~~!
The fourth wave of dragon power!
Roar~~!
The fifth wave of dragon power!
Roar~~~!
The sixth wave of dragon power!
…
One after another, the dragon-shaped phantoms erged endlessly from the dragon’s mouth, pouring into the robust youth’s body akin to hamring and steel tempering, repeatedly refining his physique.
As the inherited dragon power increased, the robust youth’s aura beca more and more imposing. His height shot up from around 1.7 ters to over 1.8 ters. His physique beca incredibly formidable, and his skin radiated a terrifying vitality and a divine glow.
Finally, after the 18th wave of dragon power had been bestowed, the dragon’s mouth fell silent, no longer roaring nor spewing forth any dragon-shaped phantoms.
Even the shadowy figures of the words on the altar, its brilliance and the auspicious qi, all began to dim.
The dragon’s eyes closed.
“Huu~~~!” The robust youth exhaled a turbid breath, like thunder.
It was over.
It seed his dragon bloodline only allowed him to inherit 18 waves of dragon power.
“Alright, you can co down now,” Zhuang Zixiu chuckled. “Originally, you had the cultivation of the early Mana realm, pathetically weak in this overseas world. However, I discovered you had the bloodline of a dragon and brought you here to inherit dragon power, which has brought you so fortune. Hmm, not bad, having inherited 18 waves of dragon power, this raw strength is enough to defeat even peak Mana realm cultivators~~ I will bestow upon you so thods for cultivating physical techniques. You might well challenge Divine Skills realm cultivators. Co down now, from here on, I shall nurture you.”
“Yes, Master Zhuang!” The robust youth nodded slightly. Although his deanor toward Zhuang Zixiu remained extrely respectful, an uncontrollable fierce light shone through in his eyes, akin to a ferocious dragon encircling his pupils, ready to lash out and consu at any mont.
This was the true nature of a dragon.
Amidst an atmosphere of universal attention, the robust youth descended from the altar.
Huang Xiaolong’s thoughts raced, “This guy has 18 dragon-shaped phantoms coiled in his Dantian. Having inherited 18 waves of dragon power ans he can unleash the strength of 36,000 strands of True Qi in a single strike. Such power is quite formidable. However, it’s still not comparable to the formidable cultivators in the Divine Skills realm, who can move mountains with a thought and have infinite marvelous uses for their Mana, as well as command flying swords to kill soone a thousand steps away in an instant.”
Huang Xiaolong scoffed slightly in his heart.
Inheriting dragon power is aningless if only a small amount is obtained. One cannot contend with cultivators unless able to inherit hundreds or thousands of dragon power waves.
“On my side, I have found three people with the bloodline of a dragon. Now that one has inherited the dragon power, let’s wait until the remaining two have finished inheriting it before we discuss further,” Zhuang Zixiu told Huangfu Tianjiao with a smile.
“Good, this will make the final tally even more convenient,” Huangfu Tianjiao, the Snowfall Lad, and another genius nad “Teng Tian Song,” all expressed no objections.
Consequently, the next person with a dragon bloodline designated by Zhuang Zixiu, a square-faced middle-aged man harboring dreams, stepped onto the altar.
As he walked, he prayed fervently in his heart, hoping to inherit even more dragon power.
As soon as this man ascended the altar, the previously dimd altar “rekindled from ashes,” once again exploding into a spectacular scene.
The dragon’s eyes reopened!
Roars of dragon chants.
Wave after wave of dragon-shaped phantoms poured down upon the square-faced middle-aged man!
At this mont, the atmosphere was once again intensified as thousands of cultivators in the square collectively roared as if they were injected with chicken blood—
“One thread of dragon power!
“Two threads of dragon power!”
“Three threads of dragon power!”
…
In the end, the square-faced middle-aged man inherited 21 threads of dragon power, three more than the solidly built youth before him.
Zhuangzi Xiu’s last subordinate with dragon blood went up to the sacred altar to inherit the dragon power, obtaining 19 threads of dragon power.
“Um~~ Zhuangzi Xiu, the three people with dragon blood you found have all finished inheriting, totaling 58 threads of dragon power. I didn’t miscalculate, did I?” Huangfu Tianjiao, graceful as ever, said.
“That’s correct. It’s your turn now,” Zhuangzi Xiu said with a smile. “Although I only found three people with dragon blood, fewer than you did, it doesn’t necessarily an I have lost.”
“Let my people co up,” Luzue Gongzi said arrogantly.
Luzue Gongzi found a total of four people with dragon blood.
They went up to the altar in turn.
However, the first one to go up was a woman in her thirties, who only inherited 5 threads of dragon power and could no longer continue.
This drew the ridicule of geniuses like Huangfu Tianjiao.
Luzue Gongzi’s expression was dark and ominous.
Fortunately, the second one that went up inherited 26 threads of dragon power, imdiately salvaging his face.
The remaining two, the first inherited 11 threads of dragon power, and the second 23 threads of dragon power.
Luzue Gongzi’s four subordinates successfully inherited a total of 65 threads of dragon power.
“Hahaha~~ Zhuangzi Xiu, Brother Zhuang, from the current situation, I have beaten you,” Luzue Gongzi bragged. “And, I am very likely to be the last one laughing~ Delightful! Delightful!”
Zhuangzi Xiu found himself with egg on his face, unable to utter a word.
“Teng Gong, it’s your turn,” Huangfu Tianjiao said with a smile to Teng Tengge.
Teng Tengge shrugged indifferently. “Huangfu Tianjiao, you want to be the finale, right? Hehe, you always like to take advantage and show off, but it doesn’t matter. Perhaps my people’s inherited dragon power will make you feel desperate.”
“Let’s wait and see,” Huangfu Tianjiao said, smiling proudly. “But, I, Huangfu Tianjiao, rarely fail in my life.”
Teng Tengge’s four subordinates with dragon blood inherited a total of 63 threads of dragon power, unexpectedly less than Luzue Gongzi’s four.
“Hahaha~~ Sorry, Brother Teng, this young master has narrowly won,” Luzue Gongzi confidently looked towards Huangfu Tianjiao. “Huangfu Tianjiao, I’m currently ranked lower than you on the Hidden Dragon List, but today, I will beat you first!”
“That remains to be seen!” Huangfu Tianjiao, with his previously graceful deanor erased, replaced by a grim and cruel expression, barked coldly at his last subordinate about to go to the altar. “You, go up. If you cannot turn the tide, I will kill you.”
The man, a bearded hulk, trembled at Huangfu Tianjiao’s words, not daring to resist, and stepped onto the altar with an air of tragic determination.
Unexpectedly, once the bearded hulk went onto the altar, he successively inherited dragon power. Endless dragon-shaped illusions continuously spewed from the dragon’s mouth and infused into his body.
The bearded hulk astonished everyone!
He actually inherited a full 67 threads of dragon power!
This made the man grow to a height of 2 ters! The supre dragon’s might emanating from him transford him from his forr unremarkable deanor to a radiant one!
The bearded hulk simply stood there, exuding a sense of natural superiority and transcendence, willful and unyielding!
“Hahahaha~~~~” The bearded hulk let out a savage laugh, the dragon’s might around him growing denser, making the surroundings tremble.
In the square, many cultivators watching the excitent felt a profound trepidation at the sight of the bearded man, as if the person standing on the altar was not a human, but a humanoid ferocious dragon!
“Hahahaha~~” Huangfu Tianjiao, shrugging off his earlier dispirited state, let out a triumphant laugh. “It seems that this subordinate of mine carries an exceptionally rich dragon bloodline, having inherited a full 67 strands of dragon power~~ In my life, Huangfu Tianjiao, I have seldom lost, and this ti is no exception. Gentlen, I think there’s no need to tally anything further. You’ve lost, hand over your magical artifacts to .”
The three geniuses were at once shocked, helpless, and enraged.
But the facts before their eyes were indisputable, set in stone.
Just the power of the bearded man’s inherited dragon power alone was enough to suppress the combined dragon power inherited by the subordinates of the other three geniuses!
“Who could have expected such a reversal.” Qingqing sighed next to Huang Xiaolong. “I thought that Huangfu Tianjiao, or whatever his na is, was going to et a crushing defeat, but who knew, his last subordinate would turn the tide, inheriting a terrifying 67 strands of dragon power~~~”
“Young Master, inheriting dragon power is truly more exhilarating than cultivating, just casually standing there allows one to obtain unimaginable strength.” Xiaohong said enviously.
“Tsk~~ You think, only those with a dragon bloodline can inherit the dragon power.” Xiaohong said with a playful smile, refuting her. “What, you want to give it a try, too? But, you don’t have dragon bloodline, you only have cat blood~~ giggles~~~”
“Hmph! That’s still way better than your fox blood, sassy!” Xiaohong retorted with a sneer.
“Enough, stop bickering, do you all want to go and try playing on that altar?” Huang Xiaolong said with a laugh, his eyes sparkling with extre excitent.
Seeing so many people stepping onto the altar one after another and inheriting dragon power, Huang Xiaolong was now itching to try it himself!
Moreover, he had a strange premonition…
It seed as if the dragon head stone carving on the altar was calling out to him!
This led Huang Xiaolong to feel that once he stepped onto the altar, sothing earth-shattering would occur!
“Island Master, are you really going?” Zhan Tang was startled and then stuttered anxiously, “Island Master, maybe it’s better if you don’t get involved. Do you… do you have dragon bloodline? If not, going up there is pointless. And besides, it might attract a lot of mockery from others.”
“Zhan Tang, you stay here,” Huang Xiaolong instructed. “Big wife, Aoshan, Qingqing, Xiaohong, Xiaoi, let’s go play on the altar.”
“Yay!” The three little monsters, who had the most playful hearts, were the first to clap their hands and cheer.
As for his two wives, they too felt a sense of calling from deep within, urging them to set foot on the altar!
Without delay, Huang Xiaolong led his two wives, and three little monsters out from the crowd, heading straight for the altar.
“Hmm?” The thousands of cultivators present in the square were all startled, wondering what these folks were doing stepping out.
The four geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List also noticed Huang Xiaolong, and their sharp, intense gazes swept over him.
“Oh! It’s you again!” The Snowfall Prince’s eyebrows lifted, and his eyes flashed with a brutal light, “Hahaha~~ Truly brazen~~ Last ti, Steward Murong from the Pavilion of Moving Flowers intervened on your behalf, sparing you, and you didn’t scurry away with your tail between your legs. Instead, you dare to prance around in front of … Could it be you think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?”
Son of Falling Snow, prideful and haughty, had just been outshone by Huangfu Tianjiao in the recent contest and was already seething with rage. At this mont, when Huang Xiaolong stepped forward, he unfortunately beca the target of Son of Falling Snow’s anger.
Son of Falling Snow saw the perfect opportunity to pick on Huang Xiaolong!
However, at this ti, Huang Xiaolong was entirely focused on the altar, with no mind to bother with Son of Falling Snow. He completely ignored him and made straight for the altar.
“Wait, you, stop right there.” Huangfu Tianjiao looked coldly at Huang Xiaolong, his gaze condescending, as if a noble lord was looking down upon a beggar.
“What is it?” Huang Xiaolong said, clearly unamused.
“What are you planning to do?” Huangfu Tianjiao flicked his fingernail. “The four of us from the Dragon Hidden list are discussing so matters, so what are you doing here? Who allowed you to co out?”
“Hahahahaha~~~” Huang Xiaolong couldn’t restrain his laughter, bursting out loudly. “This is quite farcical. You can discuss whatever you wish; what does it have to do with ? This is the Dragon Relics, and naturally, I want to try and see if I can inherit the power of the dragon. Asking what I want to do? Isn’t that a rhetorical question?”
Upon hearing this, the cultivators watching the spectacle in the square were dumbfounded.
Who would have thought that a youth, oblivious to his place, would stand up to Huangfu Tianjiao—with his status, reputation, realm, and soaring potential!
Ignorance truly is bliss!
“You wish to inherit the dragon’s power as well?” Huangfu Tianjiao was montarily stunned, then his complexion turned as dark as still water, “Ridiculous! Do you really think that just anyone can inherit the dragon’s power? Forget it, today, I am in a good mood and will not hold it against you in excess. Plus, I disdain to argue with you. I’ll give you three breaths’ ti to disappear!”
“Sigh~~” Huang Xiaolong sighed and said in a speechless tone, “Is this dragon relic on the island yours, by any chance?”
This question indeed stumped Huangfu Tianjiao.
“It’s not yours, right? Since it’s not yours, then what business is it of yours whether I can inherit the dragon’s power or not? I have the Azure Dragon Order that allows to enter this island, and even if I want to play around on the altar, you have no say in it, right?” Huang Xiaolong said with a tinge of impatience.
Although in the eyes of those cultivators, the difference between Huang Xiaolong and Huangfu Tianjiao seed too vast in every aspect, Huang Xiaolong’s forthright words still held the moral high ground.
This island, along with the dragon relics, weren’t possessions of Huangfu Tianjiao, and others who wanted to take a turn on the altar couldn’t be stopped by anyone.
“Hahaha~ What a sharp tongue you have, well~~very good. If I were to shoo you away like this, it would seem ungracious. Instead, let us make a bet,” Huangfu Tianjiao sneered.
“A bet? On what?” Huang Xiaolong smiled.
“You and your companions go ahead onto the altar and inherit the dragon’s power. If the total power the lot of you inherit exceeds the combined total of the dragon’s power inherited by my five subordinates, then you win, and you may take the highest quality magical artifact from each of us four. However,” Huangfu Tianjiao’s expression beca ferocious, “if you lose, or if you are unable to inherit the dragon’s power, then you must kneel down and slap your own face a hundred tis… How about that?”
In Huangfu Tianjiao’s eyes, there was a thick trace of mockery, as if a cat was toying with a mouse.
