Dragon Blood and Advancement

"How interesting, it can actually eliminate chaos."

Keosius touched the ground with his claws and dug a piece of flesh from the Dragon Corpse sealed by the mountain beneath his feet.

"Boom!"

After all, it was the flesh and blood of Kareks, who suffered from madness, and had been tainted by the Abyss, containing a variety of complex forces such as destruction and chaos.

The moment the Empire Domain restriction was removed, dense chaotic black energy surged out from it.

The purplish-black blood danced wildly in mid-air, gradually coalescing into a ferocious figure, and a Dragon Blood Monsters was born.

The monster was only three feet long, resembling a deformed Red Dragon. Its entire body was covered in slime, and it had five pairs of densely packed limbs, with three tattered black wings hanging irregularly on its back.

It writhed and twisted violently on the ground, glaring at Keosius with venomous eyes, spewing out venom strong enough to corrode rocks, and letting out a piercing scream.

"You can't escape."

You can't escape.

The voice was hoarse and shrill, as if scrap metal was rubbing against something in the throat.

[Cursed Pseudo Dragon] (Challenge Rating: 3)

Keosius stared at the monster born from the dragon's blood, his eyes slightly narrowed, reflecting the monster's menacing image.

"It seems I wasn't wrong. This is the curse that Jierlazarax left behind before his death."

He anticipated that I would leave behind this Dragon Corpse, so at the last moment, he delayed by injecting a part of his own will and the vicious curse of the Abyss into his blood.

If I were to rashly devour bloodlines again as I did last time, I fear my mind would be invaded by the remnants of Jierlazarax.

A murderous intent flashed in Keosius's pale golden vertical pupils, and his Dragon Face instantly became somewhat ferocious.

There's no escaping it.

"The Great Abyss"

The Dragon Blood Monsters's screams continued, intermittently.

Keosius twisted his head, and scenes of his mind being affected by the "Heart of Kareks" and becoming chaotic and violent flashed through his mind, causing him to let out another cold laugh.

"What an old trick, Jierlazarax. This is so typical of you. Even when you're dead, you still have to disgust me."

But that's perfect, then let me test out the power of the Orderly Breath.

The Red Dragon opened its mouth, its pupils gleaming, and silvery-white flames surged from the depths of its throat, enveloping the monster born from its dragon blood.

"Aww—"

Silver flames roared, and the Dragon Blood Monsters struggled and writhed in the firelight. It raised its head, wildly waving its deformed limbs and letting out a mournful howl.

However, under the flames of absolute order, the Dragon Blood Monsters's struggles seemed so pale and powerless. It resisted desperately, then slowly collapsed, its whole body melting away.

The fire lasted for several tens of minutes, and finally, the silvery-white flames slowly dissipated under Keosius's control.

As a flame that restores order to all things, the burning of the Reordering Fire left no scorch marks and did not damage the environment; everything around it remained intact.

But the twisted and ferocious Dragon Blood Monsters had vanished, leaving only a drop of bright red blood in mid-air, emanating a faint aura of power.

"This is."

Keosius's eyes lit up immediately. He leaned forward and examined the blood closely.

In his eyes, this drop of blood contained terrifying energy and was covered with complex patterns like tree roots—the legacy of the Progenitor Dragon.

Pure Progenitor Dragon Blood

"You mean, you drank the blood of those mythical dragons and survived? — Dragon Scholar, Valdra"

Item Description: The blood of Kareks contains the immense power of the ancestral dragons bestowed by the Nine-Faced Dragon God.

After being Purification by the flames of order, the blood containing the desire for destruction and the Chaos Power was expelled, and this blood was purified into Pure Progenitor Dragon Blood.

Item effect:

Progenitor Dragon Bloodline purity +0.001% and a certain chance to gain legendary dragon traits and inherited spells.

"Isn't the solution to dealing with Kareks' Body here?"

After reading these introductions, Keosius's eyes lit up with boundless joy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

He used the Calamity Dragon Eye and the True Sight Eye to scan the drop of blood several times, and then released silver-white flames to purify it again.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong, Keosius slowly opened his mouth and swallowed the hard-won Progenitor Dragon Blood.

"Buzz—"

Instantly, a warm current flowed down his throat into the Red Dragon's body, slowly flowing through his Base Blood Vessels and finally merging into his burning heart.

Keosius exhaled a mouthful of hot sulfurous breath and let out a pleasant low groan, while puffs of white smoke and Mars flew from the stomata on his neck and tail.

Flames surged within the Base Blood Vessels, and the enormous, powerful dragon body trembled slightly. An invisible aura of pressure spread out, causing creatures several kilometers away to feel a chill in their hearts.

This is the aura of the Progenitor Dragon. As beings that once ruled the sky and the earth, these mythical dragons are incredibly powerful.

Despite not receiving any notification from the panel, Keosius could sense a subtle improvement in his strength, physique, and even spellcasting abilities.

And all of this was the effect brought to him by just one drop of Pure Progenitor Dragon Blood.

"Very good, very good."

Keosius's voice trembled slightly, revealing boundless excitement and joy.

Overwhelmed by the exhilarating surge of power, the Red Dragon, revealing its inherently greedy nature, longed to devour the Progenitor Dragon's body whole.

However, Keosius remained rational. He forcibly suppressed his excitement, looked down at the Dragon Corpse that had turned into a mountain, and muttered to himself, "Next, all I need to do is follow the steps."

At this moment, this mountain, shaped like a ferocious dragon, has become a treasure mountain in the eyes of the Red Dragon, far more precious than gold and jewels.

Anyway, Kareks's body has already been sealed in Dragon Blood Mountain by him, so he can't escape.

Unless True God descends to earth, or the Abyss Lord personally arrives, no one can steal the dragon's body buried in the mountains right under his nose.

All Keosius needs to do is stay in the forbidden area of Dragon Blood Mountain, constantly Purification and absorbing the remains of Kareks, and one day he will be able to elevate his bloodline to the level of a true Progenitor Dragon.

By then, even if he encountered God Avatar or Abyss Lord outside the Empire Domain, Keosius would be completely unafraid—after all, the Progenitor Dragon were at the top of the multiverse's food chain and could roam freely even in the Astral Plane.

"Since it's a forbidden area, it needs to be made more mysterious."

Keosius slowly raised his claws, and the power of the laws of the [Empire Domain] surged in his palms, then suddenly expanded to several kilometers away.

Instantly, white smoke with a pungent sulfur smell billowed from the cracks in the ground, gradually enveloping the entire Dragon Blood Mountain, leaving only a vague outline of its magnificent and majestic form.

"Call"

"As expected of the reward for killing the Abyss Lord, it really exceeded my expectations."

Keosius let out a long breath, calming his slightly excited emotions, and looked at his panel again, where countless messages were still waiting to be read.

Yes, the Demon-Slaying achievement and the Kareks' Blood are only part of what he gained this time. The most direct feedback is the massive amount of experience he received from killing demons.

It is important to know that in this "Battle to Repel the Abyss," Keosius not only killed a true Abyss Lord, but the aftermath of the battle also killed millions of Abyssal Devil, like waves.

However, compared to the Red Dragon's current status and level of life, those ordinary demons are too insignificant to provide him with much more experience.

[Kill the Quasit, gain 0.1xp][Kill the Lemure, gain 0.1xp][Kill the Glabrezu, gain 50xp][Kill the Gorebull Devil, gain 100xp][Kill [Balor - Leo (Challenge Rating: 18], gain 20000xp][Kill [Revenge Lord - Jierlazarax (Challenge Rating: 34)], gain 215000xp][Your total Class Level increased to: 24][Your current class is: True Dragon Sorcerer 17/ Bloodscale Berserker 3/ Elemental Master 4] Now, Keosius doesn't have much hesitation about choosing a class anymore—this time he will continue to choose [True Dragon Sorcerer].

Rather than diversifying its options, this Red Dragon prefers to concentrate its power in one place.

Without the Empire Domain, his greatest advantage in battle lies in his naturally strong physique and the powerful spellcasting abilities granted to him by the Sorcerer class.

[You choose to upgrade [True Dragon Sorcerer] to level 18][Due to the innate spellcasting of dragons and the talent and authority of Elemental Lord, your current Caster Level is: 24] The familiar feeling surrounded Keosius's body again. His will roamed freely in the Weave and became more closely integrated with this world, even as if they were one.

Sorcerer of this caliber can influence everything with their every move. They don't need to cast spells; a mere thought can unleash a storm.

Their every move attracts the worship of thousands, and this extraordinary charm is enough to make these Sorcerer natural rulers.

"A good feeling"

Keosius licked his lips, revealing a sinister smile, and eagerly looked at the panel again.

[At level 18, you gain an ability granted by the origin of your magic.][As a descendant of the Progenitor Red Dragon, you trace the river of time, excavating your ancient bloodline and feeling the unique pressure from the distant past.]

You have gained the spell's origin ability, [Progenitor Dragon Majesty 'Progenitor Dragon Majesty]

Level 18 Dragon Bloodline Trait

As a descendant of the Progenitor Red Dragon, all creatures around you, including True Dragon and Dragonkin, with dragon blood will feel the pressure of your bloodline and fall into a state of fear and awe.

By tracing your bloodline and gaining the ability of the Progenitor Dragon Majesty, you can further guide this ability and have a chance to control the minds of the oppressed for a period of time.

"Is it similar to the ability of Mind Control?"

Keosius stroked his scaly chin, carefully examining the information displayed on the panel.

For a dragon of his caliber, this ability is rather lackluster.

The reason is simple: Keosius only needs to display his enormous body, which is over forty meters long, to subdue most dragon creatures.

"However, it can be somewhat effective when dealing with benevolent dragons like the Golden Dragon and the Silver Dragon, who are determined in their will."

For example, Mellward's group of meddlesome Silver Dragon.

Keosius casually shook his dusty wings, bobbed his head, and commented as he did so.

He glanced at his panel again and said softly, "Next comes the spells."

Keosius was no longer as excited as usual about acquiring new spells.

After all, for the current Embers of the Burned Emperor, even Ninth Circle Spell is merely icing on the cake, not to mention that his opponents are generally prepared for it.

[You have unearthed the magical memories within your bloodline and obtained a general magical treasure trove.] Keosius was immediately puzzled. "Oh? This time it's not Dragon Spell?"

It is well known that dragons are all incredibly proud, and the Progenitor Dragon, who ruled the sky and the land in ancient times, were even more so.

Therefore, unless it is truly useful, they would never condescend to learn the "lowly" magic of humans and Elf.

Thinking of this, Keosius's eyes lit up, and he stared intently at the panel.

[You have gained the spells [Steel Bones] and [Freedom Spell]] [Steel Bones]

8th Ring School of Transmutation Spell: You make your body incredibly hard, like an enchanted statue forged from steel. For the duration of the spell, your Strength +4, Dexterity -4, and Armor +10.

At the same time, you will be immune to blindness, deafness, heavy blows, diseases, poisons, shocks, electric shocks, and all spells that affect physiology or respiration.

Keosius spewed scorching dragonfire from his nostrils, and his expression became somewhat excited again.

"A very useful spell, and it can be combined with my existing spells to produce unexpected effects."

If you combine the agility bonus from "Graceful Dragon" with the strength bonus from "Steel Bones," you can gain four extra points of strength without affecting your agility, and you will also have an indestructible defensive ability.

According to the rules of "Erezege", for every point of attribute improvement, strength will increase by 15 percent.

These four extra points of strength will create a huge advantage in close-quarters combat! Red Dragon are already an extremely powerful race in melee combat, practically killing machines. With the enhancement of magic, Keosius's close combat will be even more formidable!

"As expected of a spell that even those proud Progenitor Dragon are willing to learn, it is indeed very effective."

Keosius grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and looked at his panel again. Information about another spell gradually appeared before him.

[Freedom Spell]

9th Ring Protection Spell

A force field erupts centered on you, destroying all control, binding, and sealing spells, as well as all physical and magical barriers, enchantments, and imprisonment effects created by magic.

All spells that maintain their magical effects will dissipate; protective spells are unaffected, cannot penetrate force fields, and will not affect the caster.

Keosius nodded in satisfaction, his wings slightly spread. "As expected of a ninth-ring protective spell, each one is very effective."

With the Freedom Spell, we can deal with those troublesome seals, such as Wagnerd's Dragonbinding Formation, or even the Dragon Frenzy Mythal.

With that thought in mind, Keosius turned around and gazed south.

His pale Golden Vertical Pupils pupils pierced through the mist and white smoke, traversing tens of thousands of miles, and saw the fierce war still raging on the Feanso Continent.

He also saw the colorful races such as Dwarf, Elf, orcs, and Naga, and the various kingdoms they inhabited. Keosius closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and seemed to be sucking in the energy surging in the air.

He exclaimed, "Years of planning, all accomplished in a single day. This feeling of harvest is truly wonderful."

Next, we need to consider the situation on the Feanso Continent. I wonder if they are ready to welcome the Empire's arrival.

The Red Dragon opened its eyes, and a faint light flickered deep within its pale golden vertical pupils, revealing endless greed.
