“Roar (oh no)!”
Ji Ye, who had turned into a Flood Dragon, was in misery.
He wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter anything except the roars of a dragon!
His body had been torn apart. The moment he became Transcendent and completely turned into a Flood Dragon, the Legendary True Blood that had been silent in his spine trembled violently as if it were alive.
After that, an invisible power spread out with the drop of Dragon Blood as the center.
Hum!
After that, all his Flood Dragon Blood burned crazily as if it were activated.
As a result, the successfully gathered body of the Flood Dragon cracked from scales to bones. It was collapsing, and its red blood was falling into the lake!
One drop of Legendary True Blood had shattered the entire body of a Flood Dragon…
It must be noted that even though he hadn't tested the body of the Flood Dragon yet, Ji Ye was quite positive that the body was extremely tough. In particular, the green scales on the surface that emitted metallic colors could only be harder than natural metals. Regular bullets and even cannonb.a.l.l.s could hardly cause damage to it.
After all, the scales of an Extraordinary Rank-1 Black Serpent could already partly resist bullets. It couldn't have been killed with the powerful Bronze Bulldozer Crossbow and the fused fiery arrows!
However, the body of a Transcendent Rank-3 Flood Dragon, which was very st.u.r.dy even though it was just in the structure of the projection, had been shattered by the waves of a mere drop of Legendary True Blood!
Honestly speaking, although the Flood Dragon Blood must've triggered the reverberation of the Flood Dragon Blood in his entire body and thereby shattered it, it still meant that the Legendary Blood that the Black Serpent dropped contained power that was beyond his imagination.
Come to think of it, he had actually neglected a lot of things due to the lack of information.
Firstly, an Extraordinary Rank-1 Black Serpent shouldn't have contained a drop of Legendary True Blood.
The spoils were more likely to be a reward for his “Perfect” rating in the first settlement quest.
Just like the Extraordinary Rank-3 Black Serpent Sword that it dropped, it was an item beyond his level that had been boosted by the human power of providence.
He should have thought of it sooner.
After all, the second round of settlement quests had given enormous advantages to the settlement, so the rewards in the first round shouldn't be any worse.
If the Legendary True Blood could only control the water and strengthen the body, it shouldn't be called Legendary at all, and a Transcendent Rank-3 Flood Dragon couldn't have been greedy about it!
What Ji Ye didn't know was that after the power of the Legendary True Blood in his spine spread out, it shattered his body and continued to move out, freezing the lake which was more than one kilometer in diameter for a while.
The creatures in the lake all pa.s.sed out and sank to the bottom of the lake even if they were Extraordinary.
Furthermore, the waves weren't restricted to the lake but went all the way up to the sh.o.r.e across Fang La's and the Metal Men's territories…
When the waves came to the Dragon Peak that was originally known as the Twin Dragon Mount…
Boom!
As if it caused some sort of intense echo, the mountain that was a thousand meters tall trembled violently.
“What's going on here?”
In the fort in the middle of the Dragon Peak…
Many soldiers, who were moving the items in the fort to Dragon City that had been set as the center of the settlement, lost their balance and dropped whatever they were carrying to the ground!
“Not good, the earth dragon is turning around!”
“Go fetch Chief Gongsun and Chief Lin!”
Hu Feng, as the man who lived the longest time in the fort, hurriedly sent for Gongsun Sheng and Ninth Uncle.
Of course, Ji Ye didn't know what was going on at the Dragon Peak because he was caught in an absolute crisis.
Hum!
After unleas.h.i.+ng waves for the first time, the Legendary True Blood didn't stop.
A few seconds later, another wave surged out from his spine and caused another outburst of the Flood Dragon Blood all over his body, further expanding the cracks on the b.l.o.o.d.y body of the Flood Dragon Blood!
“Why is this happening?
“Are the Legendary True Blood and the Flood Dragon's body not compatible with each other because of the tiny gaps on the bloodline?”
Ji Ye, who had turned into a Flood Dragon, gritted his teeth. His body had been covered by blood, and his heart was filled with confusion.
It didn't make any sense!
He had already considered it before the fusion.
Although he was transforming into the body structure of the projected Flood Dragon on the surface, the transformation had originated from the Flood Dragon Blood in himself!
Even if they were contradictory, the conflicts shouldn't have been so intense.
Furthermore, Ji Ye could even tell that this was the greatest crisis that he had been faced with since he entered the Land of Inheritance and completed the beta test.
If he couldn't control the abnormal Legendary True Blood, he might lose control of himself and even die for the first time after he entered the Land of Inheritance!
He didn't see it coming at all!
At this moment, he was already one of the strongest in Extraordinary Rank-9.
He might not be invincible, but even Zhao Yun, Li Yuanba, and the other top heroes wouldn't be confident of beating him.
Now that Dragon City pa.s.sed the advancement test and completed the A Hundred Vying Barges quest, it was no longer under great pressure. Plus, a lot of heroes were watching over the place, so he finally had time for his breakthrough!
Who would've thought that an accident would happen the moment before the breakthrough even though the previous eight days had all pa.s.sed smoothly?
Hum!
The Flood Dragon Blood in his spine unleashed waves again, further cracking Ji Ye's body. Some of the cracks were so big that his body was falling apart.
Actually, Ji Ye had a guess about the anomalies of the Legendary True Blood. It must've been because he had triggered some sort of inheritance test that had been present inside the Legendary True Blood!
As for the reason for the severe conflicts…
“It can't be because I'm transforming into the projected Flood Dragon's structure!
“That Flood Dragon coveted the True Blood when it came, which means that they couldn't be contradictory. Could it be because I'm not really a Flood Dragon descendant?”
Ji Ye thought of something.
He wasn't someone who really had the Legendary bloodline!
He had indeed absorbed a Legendary bloodline, but he did that by way of “cheating”.
In order to acquire the Legendary bloodline with certainty, he didn't use the light ball as instructed.
Instead, he absorbed the Black Serpent's blood with his Fusion talent, removed the impurities, and simply kept the last Legendary True Blood!
However, due to the low level of his Fusion talent, the Legendary True Blood had been independent of him and was never fully melted into his body.
This drop of Legendary True Blood, on the other hand, might contain methods to identify its descendants, because Ji Ye could tell that the Legendary True Blood was not just attacking his body but also mauling his soul.
While Ji Ye's body had transformed into a Flood Dragon's, his soul undoubtedly remained as a human being's!
In order to increase his strength faster, Ji Ye had stopped his soul training since the trip to the Battlefield of Providence. Even though his soul was indirectly strengthened from other training, it was still Extraordinary Rank-8 at this moment!
It hadn't even reached Extraordinary Rank-9 yet, and it could hardly resist the Legendary power.
Fortunately, there was only one drop of Legendary Blood, and it could also attract the Flood Dragon Blood like how his body could. So, his soul was not directly destroyed!
As long as it wasn't directly destroyed, Ji Ye wouldn't die quickly because he still had the Healing talent.
However, even the Perfect talent could not save Ji Ye from the existential crisis, because Healing was still just an Extraordinary talent, and the Flood Dragon Body and the True Blood were Transcendent and Legendary respectively!
Thanks to his understanding of the Flood Dragon Blood, he could more or less use the Healing talent beyond its level, but it could only prevent his body from not falling apart and buy him some time.
Besides, with the Legendary True Blood emitting waves and tearing his body apart continuously, the Healing talent was consuming his power of providence all the time, and he couldn't use it forever.
“Am I really going to die here?”
Faced with the life-and-death crisis, Ji Ye became anxious for the first time!
Perhaps, as a beta tester, he wouldn't suffer as many losses as a regular player would from one death.
After all, he could keep his talent skills after the first death.
However, the problem was that the advantages he acc.u.mulated in the past months would be gone!
After he entered a new settlement, he might not rise easily even though he was the Master of Dragon City and Earth's best player. Others might even take precautions against him.
In particular, many settlements were led by natives, and he wouldn't get as many advantages as he did in Dragon City!
“I wish that the breakthrough had failed sooner!
“Earlier, other people also had the special invitations, but right now, those invitations have all been sent out!”
Ji Ye gritted his teeth through the agony when his body was shredded inch by inch.
To gather enough dragon blood and make full preparations, he had stayed seven days in the lake.
It meant that the names of the fourth batch of players had already been announced, and the invitations to Dragon City would have all been given out.
As a result, if he died during the breakthrough, he wouldn't be able to be reborn in Dragon City!
