Chapter 719: Fusion of Blood Essence
Lachlan estimated that the drop from above must be at least one hundred meters high!
Thankfully, after his physical strength was baptized, he became even more powerful and reached the peak of the late Broken Mountain stage. In fact, Lachlan’s current physical strength alone surpasses his overall strength at the late Golden Core stage.
The late Broken Mountain stage corresponds to the late Golden Core stage in the realm hierarchy. Moreover, the true combat power of the body refining realm is inherently superior to Qi Refinement.
Unfortunately, Lachlan fell just short of breaking through to the Myriad Forms Realm. Despite undergoing the Dragon Power baptism, most of the energy was absorbed by the dragon’s kidney, limiting the enhancement of his physical body. Otherwise, with over two hundred Dragon Power baptisms, it should have been a sure thing for Lachlan to reach the Myriad Forms Realm.
However, even if he is stuck at the peak of the late Broken Mountain stage, with Lachlan’s current formidable physical strength, unique dual attribute constitution, and hidden trump cards like the Power of Death, his true combat power is already extraordinary. Even against a late Nascent Soul cultivator, he would definitely hold his own, if not emerge victorious.
Facing off against someone like Elder Fiery Dragon at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, he should have the power to fight rather than being crushed and killed instantly.
As Lachlan fell into the temple, he barely had a moment to acknowledge the changes brought by the Dragon Ancestor’s baptism, quickly collecting his focus. The atmosphere here was incredibly dim yet suffused with an indescribable humid heat that made him uncomfortable. A pungent stench of blood greeted him as he breathed in the air, almost as if the blood aroma was solidifying in his lungs.
“So strong is the scent of blood, could this be some kind of blood sacrifice site?” Lachlan’s mind conjured up horrifying scenes of mountains of corpses and rivers of blood all around.
Yet, as he climbed to his feet and beheld the scene before him in the temple’s depths, his expression froze. His face was filled with an intense shock.
Inside the temple’s depths, there floated a giant droplet of blood. It had to be blood! The unbreakable stench of blood emanating from it was overwhelming.
This droplet of blood stood as tall as a two-story building, emanating a pressure that felt ancient and barbaric. It beat like a giant heart, pulsating incessantly.
Standing before this droplet of blood, aside from the pressure, Lachlan felt another inexplicable sense of familiarity. It was as if something in his blood was connecting with it, creating a sense of bloodline kinship, as though facing his ancestors.
“Such a massive blood drop gives me this kind of feeling! Could it be… the essence blood of the Candle Dragon?” Lachlan speculated in his mind.
He remembered Elder Fiery Dragon once mentioning the Candle Dragon statue enshrined for generations within the Sun Moon Sect, being soaked in the essence blood of the Candle Dragon. But now, it seemed that the truth was different. Perhaps, this essence blood actually formed the soul of the Temple of the Dragon Ancestor?
The enormous Candle Dragon statue outside was merely a facade…
“Which means, the Candle Dragon power that previously baptized my physical body should also originate from this essence blood.”
“Could it be that Leonel, that despicable bastard, truly depleted the dragon power contained within this essence blood?” Lachlan thought back to Chester’s enraged outburst, feeling uneasy.
Hum!
The following moment, Lachlan suddenly felt a strange fluctuation emanating from the massive droplet of blood. It seemed to carry an urgent message, directed at him.
“Is it calling out to me?” Lachlan raised an eyebrow, intuition rising within him.
With a hint of caution, he cautiously approached the giant blood droplet. As he neared, the rhythmic pulsations appeared to quicken, matching the flow of blood within Lachlan’s own body.
“Darn, this blood shouldn’t harm me, right?” Feeling the bloodline connection, Lachlan muttered inwardly.
Driven by an intense desire for power, he extended his hand to touch the blood, and at that instant, a strange wave appeared. The Droplet Dragonseal Blood drastically shrank, transforming into pure and pervasive blood mist that seeped through every pore in Lachlan’s body, merging with him.
Ripple…
Thud, thud, thud…
As the essence blood entered his body, Lachlan felt his blood surging like a vast river. His veins were flooded with this energy, coursing through him. The frequency of his heartbeat soared, surpassing six hundred beats per minute.
The powerful energy contained in the essence blood further strengthened Lachlan’s physical body. His muscles and bones densified, his organs becoming as resilient as ancient cold iron.
Spurt!
As if unable to contain the excess energy, Lachlan coughed up a mouthful of blood, a trickle of crimson flowing from his nostrils. Like a normal person experiencing a sugar rush, the excess energy caused a nosebleed.
However, this vomiting of blood did not discomfort Lachlan; instead, he felt an indescribable sense of relief.
Thump, thump, thump…
The blood he spewed visibly pounded the ground, creating deep craters. With his physical strength elevated, Lachlan had truly become a humanoid monster. Even his every drop of blood was heavier than a ton. If an ordinary person were struck by Lachlan’s blood, they would likely be crushed instantly.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
At this moment, the bottleneck of the late Broken Mountain stage was shattered, as Lachlan’s physical strength soared to the Myriad Forms Realm. Sensing the explosive power within every cell of his body, Lachlan let out a roar akin to a dragon’s bellow.
Hum!
In the next instant, his mind stirred, unleashing a horrific force field that spread from him as the Temple of the Dragon Ancestor, without the Droplet Dragonseal Blood, crumbled and collapsed like a house of cards.
At that moment, with the force field emanating from Lachlan’s body, the Temple of the Dragon Ancestor was destructed and collapsed.
