Long Zhantian Breaks Through
They looked at Long Zhantian with worry in their eyes.
Long Zhantian, on the other hand, spread his palms out.
There was a drop of golden-red Essence Blood in each palm.
The blood droplet was no bigger than a pigeon egg, its surface covered with dense golden runes, and between the runes flowed extremely fine blood vessels.
Three-clawed Golden Dragon Essence Blood
These two drops are the only remaining stock of genuine Golden Dragon blood in the East Sea Dragon Court.
Now it's all been given to Long Zhantian.
"Success or failure hinges on this!"
He whispered something, then slammed his palms together.
Two drops of Essence Blood were simultaneously patted into the Shanzhong Acupoint on the chest.
"Ah!"
Pain!
That was a pain that Long Zhantian had never experienced in his life.
His whole body suddenly straightened, his back lifted half a foot off the ground, and a low roar like a dragon's roar came from his throat.
Not long after,
Golden runes exploded from his Shanzhong Acupoint, instantly covering his entire body.
The runes seemed alive, flowing along every inch of his skin and merging into his veins and flesh.
Wherever it passed, the originally dark and hard Flood Dragon scales began to peel off, revealing the newly grown tender scales underneath.
The tender scales are a dark gold color, with fine blood vessels floating on the edges, and each scale exudes the majesty of True Dragon.
That's right, it's the oppressive aura of True Dragon!
The original dark scales fell in a flurry, landing on the magic array, where they were shredded into ashes by the array's light.
Within the formation, Long Zhantian's body began to change.
The bones were crackling, like bamboo joints, being broken apart and then put back together.
Muscle fibers are torn, reassembled, and torn again.
Each reorganization makes the newly formed dark gold scales even denser.
Sweat rolled down his forehead, turning into white steam before it even hit the ground, condensing into a layer of mist within three feet of him.
The Flood Dragon blood within his body continued to boil.
The black blood that originally belonged to the Flood Dragon churned and burned in the veins as if it had been ignited by something.
Long Zhantian could clearly sense the color of his own blood changing.
Starting from the deepest marrow, a faint golden layer seeped out.
The Flood Dragon Blood was transformed into the True Dragon Blood.
This process was not fast, but Long Zhantian could feel that the instincts that originally belonged to the Flood Dragon within him were being stripped away and crushed.
Instead, it is replaced by an ancient and pure power.
The True Dragon Power!
Gradually, his vision began to blur.
He was suspended in the center of the Formation.
Seeing this, Long Xuan's heart leaped into his throat.
Long Zhantian once told him that after passing the Fourth Transformation, 50% of the Flood Dragon blood in his body would be replaced by True Dragon Blood; otherwise, his dragon body would suffer severe damage.
Even with the True Dragon Essence Blood, it would take at least ten years to break through again.
Turning to look at Gui Ming, he said:
"Gui Ming, do you think Zhan Tian can succeed?"
"Yes," Gui Ming replied without hesitation.
"Although the Third Prince behaves very unreliably, his desire and effort to become stronger are no less than anyone else's."
With the help of two drops of True Dragon Essence Blood.
Breaking through to the Fourth Transformation is inevitable.
Your Majesty need not worry.
Hearing Gui Ming's words, Long Xuan felt a little more relaxed.
He nodded.
As the two were talking, golden runes had already covered Long Zhantian's entire body.
Even the dragon's eyes were covered with a layer of pale golden light.
The newly grown dark gold scales completely replaced the original dark Flood Dragon scales, each one flowing with a warm, dark gold glow.
At the Shanzhong Acupoint, the two drops of Golden Dragon Essence Blood finally dissolved completely, merging with his heart's blood.
"Boom!"
An immense aura erupted from his body, causing the entire Zhantian Palace to tremble violently.
The protective barrier outside the hall flashed a blinding white light, then quickly dimmed.
Long Zhantian slowly opened his eyes.
The vertical pupils that originally belonged to the Flood Dragon clan had become long and sharp, with a very fine Golden Patterns floating around the edge of the pupils, making them look quite majestic.
Raise your right hand, with your five fingers slightly spread.
The scales on his fingertips shimmered with a dark golden luster under the light; within his body, fifty percent of the Flood Dragon Blood had transformed into the blood of Three-Clawed Golden Dragon.
He slowly clenched his fist, and with just a gentle squeeze, a low, booming sound echoed through the air as he whispered:
"Divine Dragon Hegemony Body Art, Fourth Transformation! Success!"
"This force is truly powerful."
In a head-on battle, an ordinary Early Fourth Stage Demon Beast would definitely not last ten moves against me.
Long Zhantian sighed for a moment, but did not get up, remaining seated cross-legged.
Looking down at his chest, now covered in golden scales again, he suddenly chuckled softly, a laugh filled with undisguised joy.
Outside the Formation, Long Xuan nodded in satisfaction upon sensing the dragon's might emanating from Long Zhantian.
Haha, it's done!
This pure dragon's might is indeed the Three-Clawed Golden Dragon, the Dark Gold Tyrant Dragon, recorded in the ancient Dragon Court texts.
Although only 50% of the True Dragon Blood was converted.
But it's enough to crush any Flood Dragon. Its sheer dragon might can reduce the strength of any Demon Beast with the Dragon Clan blood by 30%, including our Flood Dragon race!
Upon hearing this, Gui Ming respectfully replied:
Your Majesty!
The Third Prince will surely lead the Dragon Court to the pinnacle.
"Hahaha, Gui Ming, don't flatter me, kid," Long Xuan replied.
He then looked at Long Zhantian and sighed:
"Zhan Tian does have some talent, but sometimes his brain doesn't work very well."
Too sentimental.
Especially Zhang Xuanchen.
He is, after all, human, while we are Demon Race. In the future, if he makes mistakes in certain areas...
You must speak up and stop it.
Upon hearing this, Gui Ming replied, "Your Majesty, I believe the Third Prince will not act on emotion in matters of great importance."
Of course, if such a situation were to occur, I would certainly offer my advice.
Upon hearing this, Long Xuan nodded and said, "That's good."
With you watching over me, I feel at ease.
"When Zhan Tian returns from the Dragon Court Secret Realm, I will step down and enter the Myriad Dragon Cave for secluded cultivation."
Long Zhantian will become the new Dragon Lord, and you will be the next Turtle Prime Minister of the Dragon Court.
My Dragon Court's Fourth Stage Peak Spirit Vein are now automatically advancing towards the Fifth-grade.
With the massive influx of Spirit Stone from my Dragon Court, I can advance to the Fifth-grade in less than ten years.
At that time, my Dragon Court must become the first power to possess Fifth-grade Yao King.
As soon as Long Xuan finished speaking, Long Zhantian stepped out of the Formation, looking at Long Xuan with a smile, and teased:
"Oh, I just came out of the pass and I heard you bragging, Father King."
That's really strange.
As far as I know, the Beast King of the four major Demon Race gathering places— Azure Nether Mountain Range, Purple Cloud Mountain Range, Dark Night Forest, and Dragon Mountain Range —have all been stuck at the Fourth Stage Peak for thousands of years.
Compared to bloodlines, they are in no way inferior to my Flood Dragon clan.
Father King, you shouldn't have too high hopes.
"Hey, you little rascal, why are you always undermining me?" Long Xuan chuckled and scolded, but he didn't seem to be blaming him.
After all, Long Zhantian wasn't wrong.
"In short, once you emerge from the Secret Realm, the vast empire of the Dragon Court will be entrusted to you."
Work hard, and heed the warnings and reminders Gui Ming gave you.
Did you hear that?
Long Zhantian waved his hand, "Okay, okay, I know."
You've said that countless times, I'm sick of it.
With that, he walked out of the Zhantian Palace.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw the blue Green Crab pacing anxiously at the doorway.
Upon seeing Long Zhantian, the Green Crab rushed to his side and exclaimed excitedly:
"Third Prince, you have finally emerged from seclusion."
Clan Leader Zhang has arrived.
