Chapter 167: Hidden Flood Dragon
Two days later.
The scales on Gold Egg’s body suddenly flared open, erupting with a powerful aura as he instinctively awakened from slumber.
This was the manifestation of the Blood-Summoning Pill cleansing and tempering the bloodline within Gold Egg’s body.
Under this external force’s stimulation, Gold Egg’s cultivation, which had been unable to advance an inch, began to soar, initiating a breakthrough on its own.
Fifty years of cultivation!
Fifty-one years of cultivation!
Fifty-two years of cultivation!
With every breath he took, an additional Dao Mark appeared within his Law ridian. He effortlessly shattered the barrier that countless First-Tier Exotic Beasts yearned for yet could never step across into the Second Realm.
‘Almost there!’
Seeing this, Chen Beiwu flicked his finger. A Flood Dragon Blood Pill and a Spirit Fusion Pill turned into two streaks of flowing light, one after another entering Gold Egg’s mouth.
“Gulp!”
Before Gold Egg could react, the two pills dissolved into a vast dicinal force that spread through his entire body.
“Splash!”
As the sound of rushing waves echoed, a sudden transformation occurred.
Blood filled Gold Egg’s fish-like eyes, turning them into a blazing crimson-gold, and his pupils transford into chilling vertical slits.
At that mont, his cultivation, which had been skyrocketing, abruptly halted. Yet the aura emanating from his body grew stronger and stronger, as if a slumbering dragon was gradually awakening.
However, bloodline awakening was not only a fundantal transformation from within but also a tribulation.
Without profound foundations and unyielding will, one could not endure it.
Even though Gold Egg was subrged in the training chamber’s pool, he still felt the unbearable scorching heat surging within.
It was a terrifying temperature that threatened to burn everything to ashes.
Fortunately, at that critical mont, Chen Beiwu’s voice echoed in his mind.
‘Calm your breath and mind. Circulate the All Laws Converge, Heaven Book of the Divine Tree with !’
Chen Beiwu sat cross-legged, drops of Liquid Mana dissolving within his Dantian’s sea of Qi. Through the Companion Contract, it continuously poured into Gold Egg’s Origin, Attribute, and Law ridians, helping him refine the pill’s power and activate the Flood Dragon Blood Pill’s hidden might.
Hearing this, the panic in Gold Egg’s eyes vanished. Instinctively, he followed Chen Beiwu in circulating the cultivation thod.
Thus, after an unknown span of ti, crackling explosions like beans frying rang out from within Gold Egg’s body. His once bloated, plump fish form gradually stretched into a slender shape, resembling a dragon that had fallen into water—though still lacking four limbs.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
As ti passed, thunder and lightning roared above Lan Mountain Cloud Residence, dark storm clouds covering the sky.
“This is the First-Nine Lightning Tribulation!”
“A Companion Beast is attempting to break through to the Second Realm?”
All who lived within Lan Mountain Cloud Residence were prominent figures of Fallen Dragon Manor.
These cultivators possessed sharp eyes and could imdiately discern the cause of the celestial change. So even inferred details about the beast undergoing breakthrough.
“It’s rely a Second-Realm Lesser Beast with a touch of potential,” one Golden Core True Person retracted his divine sense.
After all, Lan Mountain Cloud Residence housed Third-Tier top-grade cultivation chambers. Years ago, even a Second-Realm Lesser Beast had successfully advanced to a Third-Realm Beast General here.
Compared to that, a Companion Beast advancing to the Second Realm was hardly remarkable.
“No… sothing’s off.”
That Golden Core True Person furrowed his brows, looking toward the First-Nine Lightning Tribulation forming above.
Normally, once ford, the tribulation lightning would imdiately strike down.
Yet ten breaths had passed, and not only did the oppressive clouds grow more nacing, but the arcs of lightning within had also shifted from azure to crimson, brimming with heaven’s murderous intent.
“This on… could it be a dragon-blooded beast advancing to the Second Realm?” His expression changed.
Azure Lightning Tribulation was already rare within the Immortal Alliance, its azure-colored thunder usually appearing only for top-grade Second-Tier Spirit Beasts.
But beyond Azure Lightning lay an even rarer tribulation—the Crimson Fire Lightning Tribulation.
This Crimson Fire Lightning was both calamity and fortune, usually only descending upon Third-Tier Treasure Beasts of water or wood affinity with bloodlines strong enough to rival dragons.
…
“I’ve done all I can. The rest depends on your fortune!”
Chen Beiwu exhaled heavily, his gaze fixed upon Gold Egg within the pool.
“Rumble!”
As thunder roared, Gold Egg’s entire body ignited in blood-red flas.
Under the searing blaze, his scales curled and fell away, exposing tender crimson flesh, yet in that very mont, the dicinal force of the Yin-Yang Blood-Purifying Pill was fully awakened.
‘It worked!’ Chen Beiwu’s eyes shone with delight.
Though Gold Egg appeared wretched, as though he might perish at any mont, through their Companion Contract, Chen Beiwu could feel an overwhelming vitality gestating within him.
Sure enough, as the fire tribulation dissipated, a golden spirit beast erged before Chen Beiwu—slender-bodied, horned and scaled, every movent exuding the awe of a flood dragon.
“Roar!”
Gold Egg unleashed a dragon’s roar that shook the heavens, venting his excitent.
Having ascended into a Second-Realm Lesser Beast, the bulge atop his head had beco a golden horn, while his body stretched to one and a half zhang long.
Without even circulating mana, he could soar through the air at will, radiating a flood dragon’s oppressive might that chilled the soul.
Even if one insisted he wasn’t a dragon, few cultivators would dare believe it.
After venting his emotions, Gold Egg lowered his head, his massive eyes locking onto Chen Beiwu, vertical pupils glinting with indescribable dominance.
Chen Beiwu raised his head, eting Gold Egg’s gaze without yielding.
The atmosphere froze in that instant.
“Boom!”
Gold Egg suddenly lunged toward him.
But instead of resisting, Chen Beiwu extended his hand, allowing Gold Egg to affectionately coil around his arm.
‘How do you feel?’ Chen Beiwu’s eyes flickered, his excitent barely concealed.
Though he believed his strength rivaled Foundation Establishnt, the oppressive pressure from Gold Egg was undeniable.
Clearly, not only had Gold Egg’s form transford, but his strength had also far surpassed Chen Beiwu’s.
Yet before Gold Egg could answer, Chen Beiwu’s expression shifted. He sat cross-legged on the ground, beginning to refine the overwhelming feedback surging through their Companion Contract.
The difference between realms was like the gap between heaven and earth.
Were it not for Chen Beiwu’s already flawless body and Liquid Mana, having reached the Twelfth Level of Qi Refining—equivalent to a miniature Foundation Establishnt cultivator—
He would have been crushed by the flood of mana surging back through the contract, forced into premature Foundation Establishnt.
Thirteen drops… fifteen drops… seventeen drops… nineteen drops… twenty-one drops!
As the Liquid Mana within his Dantian accumulated to twenty-one drops, his blood and Qi surged like rivers, enough to shake mountains. His divine sense expanded to a sixty-zhang radius.
It was no exaggeration to say that he could now slay his forr peak Eleventh Level self with a casual strike. To call him a Foundation Establishnt cultivator would not be wrong.
Yet even so, Chen Beiwu still failed to sense the opportunity for Flawless Qi Refining.
“Starting strong to force greater strength truly doesn’t work.” Chen Beiwu muttered thoughtfully.
Indeed!
If Flawless Qi Refining were truly so simple, if it could be achieved rely by piling up Liquid Mana, the Immortal Alliance would never have valued it so highly.
With that thought, Chen Beiwu dispelled his regret. With a single intent, he directed his senses through the Companion Contract, peering into Gold Egg’s three ridians.
