Oh, G.o.d!
The Divine Dragon that appeared before him was actually an Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon!
“Elder Huo.” After taking a deep breath to calm down, Duan Ling Tian took the initiative to call out to Elder Huo who was in the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da to inform him of the predicament he was in.
“Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon?” Soon after, Elder Huo also saw the Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon in front of Duan Ling Tian. “This Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon isn’t real but merely a projection… Such a projection is generally found in inheritances. How did you find such an inheritance? The inheritance of an Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon would certainly be remarkable!”
“Elder Huo, this is no inheritance but… ” Duan Ling Tian smiled bitterly, he knew Elder Huo had misunderstood the situation. He recounted everything to Elder Huo and repeated the Divine Dragon’s words from earlier.
After hearing what Duan Ling Tian say, Elder Huo asked, “Dragonization? He really said that he’ll bestow upon you Dragonization?”
“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “First, it said that I’ve pa.s.sed the test, and he’ll keep his words to my master, Feng Qing Yang, and bestow upon me Dragonization…Elder Huo, what’s Dragonization?”
“Do you still remember the enlightenment I’ve given you previously?” Elder Huo asked. He did not answer Duan Ling Tian’s question.
“Of course, I remember.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “My True Origin transformed into the Sun True Origin because of your enlightenment. Moreover, according to what you’ve said, every Three-legged Golden Crow could only enlighten someone once in their entire life.”
In that regards, Duan Ling Tian had always been grateful because it was a secret technique that Elder Huo could only use once in his life. For Elder Huo to bestow that favor on him, that favor was higher than the sky and deeper than the ocean to him!
“Elder Huo, why do you ask? Does it have something to do with Dragonization?” Duan Ling Tian asked after he regained his senses.
“Yes,” Elder Huo answered, “For the Dragon Clan, all dragons with seven or more claws could gift a human Dragonization … The process of gifting a human Dragonization is similar to the enlightenment I’ve given you. Every Divine Dragon that has more than seven claws can also only gift a human Dragonization once in their whole life.”
“Similar to how you gave me the Flame of Sun?” Duan Ling Tian asked in surprise as his eyes lit up.
His True Origin had transformed into the Sun True Origin due to the Flame of Sun Elder Huo had given him. Naturally, the full potential of the Flame of Sun had yet to be revealed since it would improve as his cultivation base improved.
“Yes,” Elder Huo responded again.
“Elder Huo, what’s Dragonization?” Duan Ling Tian asked again.
“Dragonization means the ability to morph into a dragon… Naturally, it doesn’t mean you’ll transform into a Divine Dragon. Humans will stay human. The gift of Dragonization is merely another technique. Moreover, after humans receive the gift of Dragonization, although they would be able to transform into a dragon, they wouldn’t transform into a dragon per se. They would transform into a humanoid Dragon Warrior!” Elder Huo continued saying “After humans are gifted with Dragonization, they would be able to grow dragon scales or control their limbs and grow dragon claws… Furthermore, they could even grow a dragon tail if they want to.”
“Dragon Warrior?” Duan Ling Tian raised his eyebrows as he heaved a sigh of relief. He was worried the Dragonization would turn him into a Divine Dragon. He was human after all. He could not accept transforming into a Divine Dragon! He, naturally, felt relieved after listening to Elder Huo’s words.
At this moment, the Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon spoke again, “My projection won’t be able to last long… Now, relax, and don’t resist no matter what happens to your body.”
“Do as he said… He’s going to gift you Dragonization soon.” Elder Huo’s voice was transmitted into Duan Ling Tian’s ears following that.
Duan Ling Tian instinctively relaxed his body and shut his eyes before he said, “Senior, I’m ready.”
As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, he discovered an extremely terrifying aura rus.h.i.+ng in his direction. He was completely shrouded by that aura in just a blink of an eye.
Following that, Duan Ling Tian could clearly sense waves of mysterious energies fusing with his body after they entered through his pores.
In the beginning, the energies were fairly gentle. However, when they entered his body, they began to move about in a frenzy.
If it was not for the reminder by the Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon, Duan Ling Tian would have used his Sun True Origin to resist. Currently, he had to endure even if he felt it was intolerable.
As time pa.s.sed, more and more powerful energies entered his body, making him feel that it was even more unbearable.
Sweat began to appear on Duan Ling Tian’s forehead.
The pain in Duan Ling Tian’s body made him tremble violently. He could not help it.
Due to the immense pain, he almost cracked his teeth from how hard he was clenching them. His sweat dripped down and soaked his clothes in just a blink of an eye.
‘It’s not over?’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself after half an hour had pa.s.sed.
Although only half an hour had pa.s.sed, it felt like half a century to him due to the pain.
One hour pa.s.sed.
Two hours pa.s.sed.
Three hours pa.s.sed.
…
Ten hours had pa.s.sed as Duan Ling Tian suffered from pain in his body. At this point, he was already mentally numb.
A day had finally pa.s.sed before Duan Ling Tian realized all the pain in his body had disappeared.
“Alright, I’ve gifted you with Dragonization. With this, it can be considered that I’ve kept my promise to Feng Qing Yang… My projection is going to disappear soon, I’ll transmit all the information regarding Dragonization to you now. Keep your Divine Consciousness open,” the Eight-clawed Divine Dragon said.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian discovered a wave of information had appeared in his mind.
Due to the reminder from the Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon, Duan Ling Tian did not reject the information.
About 15 minutes later, the transmission of information finally ended.
“Little one, soar to the Devata Realm as soon as possible… We’ll meet again sooner or later! At that time, you’ll have to buy me a drink.” Those were the words of the Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon before it disappeared.
Duan Ling Tian was stunned when he saw the Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon vanis.h.i.+ng without a trace, Then, he began to process the information about Dragonization that the Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon had given him.
“It’s exactly like what Elder Huo said…” Soon after, Duan Ling Tian realized the information he received was similar to what Elder Huo had told him.
However, there was additional information. It taught him how to transform into a Dragon Warrior!
“It’s actually quite complicated… Let’s try transforming my left arm into a dragon’s arm.” After processing all the information he received, Duan Ling Tian discovered that it was quite complicated to use the Dragon Energy gifted to him by the Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon to transform into a Dragon Warrior.
After studying it for some time, he was barely able to mobilize the Dragon Energy to transform his left arm.
Following that, with one thought, the Dragon Energy stirred and eventually transformed his left arm into a Divine Dragon’s arm. His fingers had also, accordingly, turned into dragon claws. There was a total of eight claws on his hand.
“Eight-Clawed Dragon Warrior!”
At the same time, Elder Huo’s voice sounded in a timely manner. “You’re quite lucky to be given the gift of Dragonization by an Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon… You should know that an Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon is also an extremely rare existence in the Devata Realm!”
“It did not cross my mind there would be one in this world. Moreover, he seems friendly with your master, Feng Qing Yang. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given you the gift of Dragonization that he could only gift once. When you meet your master in the future, be sure to thank him properly,” Elder Huo said.
Duan Ling Tian regained his senses at once after hearing that. He then recalled what the Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon had said at the very beginning.
He had said that he was only gifting Duan Ling Tian with the gift of Dragonization due to the promise he made to his master, Feng Qing Yang.
“My arm…” Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian discovered that his left arm seemed to possess an explosive force after transforming into a dragon arm.
Sou!
He lifted his dragon arm and clenched his dragon claws before he punched outward.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
The air stirred and exploded in the wake of his fists immediately.
“So strong!”
The strength of that punch made Duan Ling Tian realized how big an improvement the Dragonization had given his strength.
“A Dragon Warrior’s strength lies with body combat… When you’re in close proximity with your opponents, weapons aren’t as useful as fists and punches,” Elder Huo said, “Currently, your Sun True Origin is comparable to the strength of an Intermediate Divine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator… When you use your Sun True Origin to mobilize the Dragon Energy and transform into a Dragon Warrior, even a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage wouldn’t dare to engage you in body combat without other techniques to rely on! After transforming into a Dragon Warrior, not only would your strength increase, but even your defense would be stronger… Although it’s far inferior to a real Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon, it’s still a lot stronger than ordinary Six-clawed Divine Dragons. It’s on par with a Seven-Clawed Divine Dragon.”
After hearing that, Duan Ling Tian nodded. He vaguely understood what Elder Huo was trying to say.
“I need to further master the correct method to fully transform into a Dragon Warrior… However, it’s not important now.”
Duan Ling Tian did not forget where he was at the moment. He looked straight ahead at the lake before him as though he had sensed something, and his eyes lit up immediately.
‘Such dense aura… It’s coming from the bottom of the lake! It seems that the dragon clan’s Saint Land, the Dragon Cleansing Pool, is under this lake!’ With that thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian moved and disappeared from where he was like a ghost.
Splas.h.!.+
In the next instant, the sound of water splas.h.i.+ng could be heard as Duan Ling Tian dove into the lake.
