Chapter 1811: Dragon Blood Advancement

"Advancing in rank?" Zhang Xuan frowned.

"Dragons have levels, and dragon blood also varies in purity."

said the Dragon Bone Divine Spear.

Zhang Xuan nodded.

In fact, the dragon race was somewhat similar to the family disciples of the Master Teacher Continent; the purer the bloodline, the more core it was, the higher the talent, and the stronger the combat power.

Previously, the Hell Green Dragon Beast and the like, though bearing the word 'dragon' in their names, actually had very thin bloodlines, like collateral descendants of a family, unworthy of mention, and thus could not withstand his Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds and submitted at once.

The fist-sized dragon blood before him should be the bloodline of an Ancient Sage-level dragon clan, as mentioned by Ancient Sage Bo Xun, indeed purer than that of the Hell Green Dragon Beast.

"Purifying blood is somewhat similar to advancing bloodlines; under normal circumstances, it is impossible, but... they have merged the blood of Ancient Sages and many cultivators, aided by the purest water, perhaps it can truly succeed, making the blood even purer and raising it another level..."

The Dragon Bone Divine Spear was filled with excitement.

Under normal circumstances, advancing a bloodline was nearly impossible, but with so many strong individuals present and two Ancient Sages offering sacrifices, perhaps it could succeed.

Boom!

Before the words faded, the dragon blood, having merged with the blood of Zhang Xuan and the old man, grew stronger and stronger, as if it could not be controlled and was about to break through the air.

"Success..."

His eyes brightening, the old man was filled with excitement. He quickly stood up and looked at Zhang Xuan: "Lan Ya, success is imminent, why not hurry and perform the sacrifice..."

"Sacrifice?"

Looking around and finding not a single sacrificial item, Zhang Xuan was greatly troubled.

Although he had seen the Heterodox tribe perform sacrifices, he had never presided over one and did not know the steps. If he went forward, he would likely be exposed immediately!

After all, no matter how well he disguised himself, he was not a true Heterodox tribesman. If he could successfully perform a sacrifice, he wouldn't have had to follow Emperor Chen Yong to get here.

Knowing that his earlier evasion had already aroused some suspicion, and that further refusal would likely lead to immediate action, Zhang Xuan paused, then suddenly his face flushed.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, his whole body swayed, and he collapsed to the ground.

"You..."

Unexpectedly, this Ancient Sage Lan Ya had faltered at the most critical moment. The old man trembled with anger: "When this is over, I will surely report to the Spirit Emperor. You just wait to be punished!"

Having said that, he ignored the fellow and raised his palm.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, countless sword qi appeared above him, and with a light slash,

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

The sword qi whistled down toward the hundred or so Great Sage-level experts seated around the altar.

At the same moment, a hundred heads flew up, and blood flowed toward the altar.

Zhang Xuan's brows jumped.

A hundred Great Sage-level experts, killed outright. No wonder he hadn't found any treasures earlier... So they were using lives as sacrifices!

How ruthless!

Buzz buzz buzz!

Blood filled the grooves on the altar, and a violent roar sounded as countless rays of light fell from the sky, enveloping the latter.

"Great spirit, we offer our lives as sacrifice, seeking only to purify the dragon blood..."

The old man's voice rang out.

He spoke in the unique language of the Heterodox tribe, giving off an eerie, unfathomable, and penetrating chill.

"As you wish."

A voice slowly sounded from within the light.

Zhang Xuan quickly looked up through the light, trying to see if it was Luo Ruoxi, but found no one there. The voice was also somewhat deep, making it impossible to tell if it was male or female.

Boom!

As the voice ended, the light suddenly blazed brightly. A special force descended, causing the dragon blood to writhe continuously under the illumination. The dragon shape within, as if receiving great nourishment, suddenly expanded by a circle, its power becoming even more vigorous and formidable.

Ordinary cultivators could not refine dragon blood, but a deity could accomplish it with ease!

The other party had gathered all their power and sacrificed so many lives, all to summon a deity.

Gurgle, gurgle!

The dragon shape grew stronger, but the blood itself became smaller and smaller. Initially the size of a fist, it soon shrank to the size of a fingernail.

Although its size had diminished, the power emanating from it grew increasingly formidable, giving a sense of overwhelming pressure, as if from another world, ready to tear through the void at any moment.

Zhang Xuan had felt this sensation once before from Luo Ruoxi.

With such power, the Master Teacher Continent could no longer contain it; one could only turn and leave.

Clearly, the blood before him had already surpassed the realm of Rebirth through Blood Droplets and reached a higher level.

"Master, if I can devour it, I can not only break the seal but also advance further, directly冲击 the Fourth Level of Ancient Sage..."

The Dragon Bone Divine Spear trembled uncontrollably, filled with excitement.

"Wait. Once the deity's power dissipates, we'll make our move!"

Zhang Xuan's face also flushed red as he transmitted his instructions.

He had originally thought that merely unsealing the Dragon Bone Divine Spear would be enough. He never dreamed that he would happen upon the other party's sacrifice, elevating the dragon blood's level.

Now that the dragon blood's level had risen, once the Dragon Bone Divine Spear devoured it, it would inevitably undergo earth-shattering changes, like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.

At that time, holding the long spear, even if the Spirit Emperor returned to his peak, what was there to fear!

No matter how powerful the expert, he could be broken with a single spear thrust!

However, even if he wanted to devour this drop of blood, he had to wait until the deity's power receded. Otherwise, the wrath of a deity was not something he could withstand.

"Mm!"

The Dragon Bone Divine Spear quickly nodded, coiled around Zhang Xuan's waist, trembling with excitement.

Even the Ancient Sage Ran Qiu of old had not encountered such an opportunity.

If he could find such blood and combine it with his strength, even if he couldn't match Master Kong, he could surely fight the Cruel One.

Boom!

While the two were communicating telepathically, the deity's aura in the sky receded like a tide, and the light enveloping the altar gradually began to dissipate.

The dragon blood within the flames had now been reduced to a single drop, bright red like fire, ready to leap out of the altar at any moment, soar into the sky, and vanish without a trace.

However, under the confinement of the formation, it could not escape.

"Success..."

The old man's eyes reddened, filled with excitement.

Having persisted for nearly a month, he had finally completed it. His entire body immediately felt weak, as if he might collapse at any moment.

"Welcome the Spirit Emperor..."

Clenching his fists, the old man let out a great roar.

"Damn, now is the time! Go grab it!"

Hearing that he was about to welcome the Spirit Emperor, Zhang Xuan's expression changed. Once that being appeared, the blood would no longer be his.

With a slap of his palm, the Dragon Bone Divine Spear immediately shot out from his waist.

It seemed to sense the urgency of the situation, no longer caring to say more. It transformed into a black bone dragon and flew toward the altar.

"You... you are not Ancient Sage Lanya? Who are you?"

Only then did the old man react. His face changed, and unable to contain himself, he suddenly reached out to grab.

Swish!

The power of an Ancient Sage left his body, instantly forming a barrier in the air that blocked the Dragon Bone Divine Spear outside.
