Bloodline Restoration

After recovering from the gradually increasing physical comfort, Xiao Yuan immediately turned his gaze to the jade bottle in his hand. A burning light surged in his dark eyes. Physical strength, in general, can only rely on some talent or hard work, but the blood of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix had an unusually good effect.

Unfortunately, only five drops of the blue-red blood refined from the corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix were produced.

Looking at the five drops of blue and red blood in the same jade bottle, yet not mixing together, Xiao Yuan frowned.

Only five drops, and there will be only four drops left soon.

With that thought in mind, Xiao Yuan's gaze swept over the desiccated monster corpse, which now consisted of only a shriveled head and a huge, withered skin. He wanted to take a deep breath, but remembering the acrid, putrid fumes that had almost made him faint, he immediately enveloped his body with his Heavenly Flames to filter out the acrid fumes in the air before taking a deep breath with peace of mind.

Generally speaking, Magic Core that condenses all the energy of a magical beast will not disappear into thin air. Since the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix contained essence blood, the Magic Core would naturally be found in the remaining shriveled head and withered skin.

With a flick of his sleeve, Xiao Yuan sent a gentle breeze that lifted the massive, withered hide and shriveled head of the demonic beast into mid-air. Then, with a flick of his finger, a Cyan-Brown Flame burst forth from his fingertip, transforming into a raging fire that burned beneath the hide.

Under the scorching heat of the Cyan-Brown Flame, the huge withered skin slowly curled up. Sure enough, under the burning of the Heavenly Flames, the withered skin was not burned into nothingness, but instead became even more wrinkled, and then rolled up like a scroll.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan lowered the temperature of the Heavenly Flames, and then with a flick of his finger from the jade bottle on the table, a drop of bluish-red blood automatically flew out and fell into the clump of withered skin.

The bluish-red blood had barely touched the withered skin when it quickly merged into it. Immediately, the grayish-white withered skin began to writhe like a snake, as if it had been violently stimulated, and a bluish-red color rapidly spread out from where the blood had entered.

The bluish-red color spread extremely quickly. In just a few blinks, the withered skin was completely transformed. The grayish-white color was replaced by a strange bluish-red color, which was completely different from before. Moreover, as the bluish-red color spread, the withered skin, which had been completely still, gradually began to emit astonishing energy fluctuations.

Xiao Yuan immediately increased the temperature of the Heavenly Flames, and then he saw that the blue-red beast's skin began to slowly seep out wisps of blue-red mist. Within this mist, Xiao Yuan felt a terrifyingly powerful energy fluctuation.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan nodded and immediately increased the temperature of the Heavenly Flames.

As the Cyan-Brown Flame roared, the bluish-red mist seeping from the withered hide of the magical beast grew thicker and thicker, until it almost filled half the air above the house. As the bluish-red mist thickened, the powerful energy fluctuations gradually intensified, until finally, the bluish-red mist hovered in the air above the room like clouds.

A terrifying pressure echoed in the room. If Xiao Yuan hadn't reacted quickly and used his soul power to envelop the room, this energy would have been enough to wake all the members of the Lion Heart Society from their dreams and cultivation.

"Such a powerful energy pressure!"

Xiao Yuan stared solemnly at the blue-red cloud in mid-air. With a thought, the brownish-green Heavenly Flames that enveloped the withered hide of the demonic beast became even more violent and intense.

Although Xiao Yuan had previously made up stories about advancing to the seventh rank, it wasn't entirely unfounded.

With the help of the Yin-Yang Soul Nourishing Pearl, his soul power has already taken him one step closer to becoming Seventh Grade Alchemist.

However, his alchemy skills are still lacking. Otherwise, even without the guidance of the Yao Lao, his success rate in refining Sixth Grade Pill would not be much lower.

His powerful soul force and high-quality flames were enough to make up for his still somewhat lacking alchemy skills.

As the bluish-brown Heavenly Flames burned, more and more bluish-red energy mists emanated from the withered hides of the magical beasts. These energy mists condensed and did not disperse, hovering in the air above the room, and faintly, a strange roar resounded.

When that roar sounded, Xiao Yuan's blood was about to boil, but he was not panicked. Although he had known for a long time that the Xiao Clan's Dou Emperor Bloodline had been cut off for many years, as his cultivation level improved, Xiao Yuan could vaguely sense that he might not be like other clansmen who had no Dou Emperor Bloodline at all.

Because when he was using the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations to his fullest extent, he had vaguely felt some power surging out from the depths of his body several times. This made his Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations still have a remarkable effect even though he had only used the first transformation and still had five Qi Mansion in his body.

Xiao Yuan didn't understand the Dou Emperor Bloodline, but he knew that his feeling was not a misperception.

He had reason to suspect that, for some unknown reason, he might still have some Dou Emperor Bloodline within him.

It just can't be stimulated.

Perhaps needing the complete version of the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, Xiao Yuan ignored the boiling sensation in his blood and continued to refine the withered hide of the demonic beast within the Heavenly Flames before him.

"Laugh!"

A moment later, a soft hissing sound suddenly rang out in the room. Xiao Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the piece of withered beast skin that had been burning in the Heavenly Flames had now turned into ashes and was slowly falling from the sky, covering the ground with a thin layer of gray ash.

As the withered hide of the magical beast dissipated, the last wisp of blue-red mist slowly drifted upwards and finally disappeared into the thick blue-red clouds.

Just moments after the wisp of cyan-red mist entered the cyan-red clouds, the latter suddenly began to fluctuate. A small vortex appeared at the center of the clouds, and the clouds slowly began to rotate.

As the clouds spun, wisps of powerful, violent energy began to continuously seep into the vortex at the center. With the influx of energy, the volume of the blue-red clouds was visibly shrinking.

When the last wisp of blue-red cloud disappeared, the vortex also suddenly stopped, and then a blinding blue-red light burst out from it.

Seeing this sudden change, Xiao Yuan's mind stirred, and a layer of Cyan-Brown Flame appeared in his pupils. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the place where the strong light was emanating, where an energy crystal was slowly taking shape.

The burst of intense light lasted only a moment before slowly dissipating. As the last ray of light vanished, Xiao Yuan's gaze also sharpened.

In the air above where he looked, a crystal with blue and red colors and a slightly irregular shape floated lightly. As it slowly rotated, it emitted subtle blue and red rays of light. These leaked energy rays alone caused the surrounding space to distort slightly.

Staring at the crystal that clearly contained abundant energy, Xiao Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He slightly bent his palm, and a gentle suction force was released.

Faced with this gentle force, the Magic Core, which faintly emitted terrifying energy fluctuations, did not resist at all. Instead, it obediently descended from mid-air and finally hovered two inches away from Xiao Yuan's palm.

A faint, shimmering blue-red light illuminated Xiao Yuan's face, reflecting an eerie glow in his dark eyes.

His already somewhat boiling bloodline surged even more intensely at this moment, causing Xiao Yuan's blood and qi to become incredibly hot, and his skin to gradually turn crimson.

The phantom of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix was reflected in his dark pupils, and a fierce cry suddenly resounded deep within Xiao Yuan's soul.

"Bah!!!"

Within Xiao Yuan's soul sea, a gigantic Heavenly Demon Phoenix was flapping its wings and circling, its sharp and ferocious cry causing a sharp pain in Xiao Yuan's mind.

Damn it!

Xiao Yuan's killing intent surged, and in an instant, the bluish-brown Heavenly Flames filled his entire soul sea.

The next moment, the Shao Yin Sovereign Fire separated from it, hanging high above the soul's sea of consciousness. A dazzling orange-red light burst forth, like a great sun, capable of dispelling all demons and monsters! The Sovereign Fire illuminates, driving away evil and binding demons! As the orange-red light filled the soul's sea of consciousness, the phantom of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix let out a terrified shriek, and then, like remnants of snow, it vanished without a trace under the blazing sun.

The eerie feeling in Xiao Yuan's eyes also disappeared.

Coming to his senses, Xiao Yuan coldly shifted his gaze from the cyan- Magic Core, then frowned slightly.

Strangely, the symptoms of boiling blood and qi do not seem to be improving at all.

Xiao Yuan, whose body was burning hot, felt as if he were in a furnace, being constantly refined.

Not daring to delay, he immediately flipped his hand, and a jade box appeared in his palm. He reached out and put the Magic Core into his Storage Ring.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuan sat down cross-legged and focused his mind on his body.

At this moment, his blood and qi were circulating rapidly. His whole body was numb and painful, and the blood vessels in his body were stretched like small snakes, as if they were about to crawl out of Xiao Yuan's body, trembling slightly.

In his heart, an orange-red flame radiated a warm and bright light, which kept his blood and qi from boiling out of control.

strangeness.

Xiao Yuan studied it for a long time, but still felt that something was missing.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yuan suddenly took out the jade bottle containing the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Blood Essence, then drew out a drop of blood and swallowed it directly.

Boom! The next moment, Xiao Yuan's aura trembled violently, and the soul power surrounding the room also began to tremble violently.

Whoosh! At this moment, an old figure appeared out of thin air in Xiao Yuan's room, looking at Xiao Yuan with a rather solemn expression.

Xiao Yuan's body was covered in a bluish-red color, and blood was slowly flowing from his seven orifices. He was emanating a powerful energy fluctuation and pressure.

But with Yao Lao's keen eyesight, he could tell at a glance that the pressure did not come from Xiao Yuan himself, but from some kind of powerful magical beast.

"What's this little guy up to?"

Looking at Xiao Yuan, who looked quite frightening at the moment, Yao Lao's expression darkened slightly. With a wave of his sleeve, his vast soul power sealed off the room.

Downstairs, Xiao Yan, guided by Yao Lao, had already completed the crafting of the Heavenly Goose Nine Transformations Wings, and added the Thunder Bat Sky Wings as consumables to the crafting process, creating jade bone wings with jet-black tips and silver lightning.

But before they could even test it, they were made nervous by the commotion Xiao Yuan caused. Yao Lao went straight through the ceiling and into Xiao Yuan's room, while Xiao Yan climbed up through the window.

"Teacher, what's wrong with my brother?"

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yuan with some concern and asked Yao Lao.

"I don't understand what this kid is up to either, but he seems to have some confidence in himself."

The Yao Lao's words sounded a bit unsure. If Xiao Yuan were truly confident, he wouldn't have made such a commotion; it was practically comparable to Dou Huang Peak advancing to Dou Zong.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression of worry deepened.

Although Xiao Yuan sensed the arrival of Yao Lao and Xiao Yan, he had no time to pay attention to them.

At this moment, his body had reached its most critical stage.

Although he had gambled correctly by forcibly consuming the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Blood Essence, seemingly successfully drawing out the hidden power within his body, the trouble was that this damned essence blood contained power far exceeding his expectations. Therefore, the two powers were now engaged in a tug-of-war within Xiao Yuan's body!

The power hidden deep within his body was clearly quite proud, showing great disdain for the invading cyan-red energy. Under its continuous onslaught, it directly occupied a large part of Xiao Yuan's body.

Thus, Yao Lao and Xiao Yan saw that, starting from the heart, a golden-red light gradually spread out, suppressing the blue-red energy.

But the cyan and red energies were equally proud, and after realizing what was happening, they launched a counterattack.

As the two remained locked in a stalemate, waves of energy shockwaves continuously impacted Xiao Yuan's body. If it weren't for the protection of his Heavenly Flames, he would probably already be suffering some serious injuries.

As the Yao Lao sensed the terrifying pressure emanating from Xiao Yuan's body after the golden-red light appeared, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He felt like he'd seen this kind of energy somewhere before.

Where was it again?

The Yao Lao fell into deep thought.

Seeing Xiao Yuan's slightly furrowed brows but seemingly not much pain, Xiao Yan felt a little relieved. It seemed that things had turned out alright! Of course, Xiao Yuan couldn't allow the two forces to fight each other within his body.

Within his body, any energy that disobeyed would be punished! A bluish-brown Heavenly Flames spread and burned within Xiao Yuan's body.

After the golden-red energy was burned, it was completely unharmed, and even gradually devoured the restrained blue-red energy with the help of the Heavenly Flames.

As a result, the golden-red energy gradually spread throughout the body, turning into points of light and penetrating into the blood vessels.

Xiao Yuan's aura also surged suddenly, and a pressure that made even Yao Lao feel a chill spread out from Xiao Yuan's open eyes. Although it was not a deliberate attack, it still caused the blockade set up by Yao Lao with his soul power to tremble violently.

"Holy crap! Dou Zong!"

Xiao Yan, who was standing to the side, seemed completely unaffected. Feeling Xiao Yuan's powerful aura, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Upon hearing this, the Yao Lao came to his senses and stared at Xiao Yuan, whose forehead was faintly covered with golden-red light patterns, and was immediately stunned.

He remembered what this oppressive force was all about.

That was the aura possessed only by those with top-grade Dou Emperor Bloodline. Although it wasn't the same as the Yao Clan's, Yao Lao was confident he couldn't be mistaken. The mark on Xiao Yuan's forehead just now was clearly Clan Mark that only those with Dou Emperor Bloodline could condense! But how could Xiao Yuan suddenly—or rather, awaken—awaken a top-grade Dou Emperor Bloodline?
