Prison Dragon Yin Blood Peak

Long Jiuyyao changed into a black robe and stretched his limbs, greedily absorbing the Yuan Power in the air. He had already broken through the Body Tempering Realm and entered the Earth Origin Realm.

"I should ask my cheap old man where the Yin Sha Power is most concentrated," Long Jiuyyao muttered to himself.

Long Jiuyyao had just stepped out of his room when Yuan Gan came toward him. A little girl followed behind him, dressed in a white dress with her hair tied in a ponytail. Her small face was flawless and fair, but there was a wild, unruly glint in her big eyes.

"This is your younger sister, Yuan Xin," Yuan Gan explained.

"My younger sister? I think she was born before me!" Long Jiuyyao said in surprise.

"Uh! That's true, but you're different. You were born in the Bone Burial Hall, so your seniority is higher than hers!"

"Xin'er, go on, play with your big brother."

The little girl looked up at Long Jiuyyao, who was half a head taller than her, and blinked. "Big brother, hold me."

Long Jiuyyao looked at the girl in front of him. He had read Martial Universe thoroughly and knew she was a wild, unruly one.

Of course, he couldn't show it on the surface. "Haha, little sis, big brother will hold you."

Long Jiuyyao held Yuan Xin. His first impression was that she was soft, as if she would be crushed with the slightest squeeze.

Yuan Xin, on the other hand, raised the corners of her mouth. Yuan Power surged in her hands as she hugged Long Jiuyyao.

A current of icy Yuan Power seeped through her jade-like fingers and into Long Jiuyyao's body.

"Hm?"

Long Jiuyyao suddenly felt a chill down his back. This little brat's got some nerve. Fine, I won't hold back either.

Long Jiuyyao tightened his arms slightly. Yuan Xin's chest felt a little tight in his embrace, and the two of them stayed locked together.

"Little brat, I have an Ancient Dragon Bone. Your little bit of Yin Sha Power won't do anything to me. It just makes me feel cool," Long Jiuyyao whispered in Yuan Xin's ear.

His warm breath brushed her earlobe, and her fair earlobe turned faintly red.

"Ancient Dragon Bone!" Yuan Xin exclaimed softly.

She clearly knew how precious it was. She withdrew the Yuan Power from her fingers, knowing that her icy Yuan Power was nowhere near strong enough to trouble him.

But Long Jiuyyao didn't stop. Yuan Xin kept patting him on the back.

"Call me big brother, and don't do that again," Long Jiuyyao said softly.

Tears welled in Yuan Xin's Spirit Eyes. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Big brother."

"Mm." Long Jiuyyao released her and rubbed her forehead. "Little sis, big brother's busy right now. We can play another time."

"Dad, I've broken through to the Earth Origin Realm. I was wondering where the Yin Sha Power is most concentrated." Long Jiuyyao turned to Yuan Gan.

"Ask Xin'er. She knows the place well. All right, Dad has things to do, so I'll be off."

Long Jiuyyao turned to the girl standing with her arms crossed. "Little sister Xin'er, take big brother there."

"Hmph!" Yuan Xin ground her little teeth and turned away, ignoring Long Jiuyyao.

"Little sis, looks like you haven't had enough of being held. Shall we continue?" Long Jiuyyao said, slowly walking toward her.

Yuan Xin backed away in fright. One step, two steps, three steps—Thud! She backed right into the wall, with nowhere left to go.

"Fine, I'll take you." Yuan Xin blinked her Spirit Eyes and led the way.

"That's more like it."

But he didn't know that, with her back to him, Yuan Xin was already plotting mischief again.

In a mountain range, two small figures walked along. "Xin'er, where's the place with the highest-grade Yin Sha Power?"

The Yin Sha Qi and Yang Gang Qi between heaven and earth were divided into nine grades, with the first being the lowest and the ninth the highest. Having read Martial Universe thoroughly, Long Jiuyyao knew that the higher the grade of the Yin Sha and Yang Gang Power one absorbed, the stronger the Origin Pill one would form in the future.

And among the Dragon Clan, one of the Four Hegemons of the Demon Domain, ninth-grade Yin Sha Power wasn't just a rumor—it truly existed. How could he pass up such a resource?

"Almost there, almost there."

Whoosh! A cold wind swept past. Yuan Xin pulled her dress tighter and hunched her shoulders. Long Jiuyyao naturally noticed.

Long Jiuyyao took off his black robe. "Put this on. The Yin Sha Power here is already quite concentrated."

Yuan Xin took the robe. "What about you?"

Long Jiuyyao shrugged. "I'm fine. This bit of cold wind won't affect me."

Yuan Xin looked at the black robe in her hands, then at Long Jiuyyao ahead of her. Maybe I should just forget it, she murmured to herself.

Yuan Xin shook her head, trying to push the faint warmth she felt from her mind.

"We're here. This is the place with the most concentrated Yin Sha Power in the entire Dragon Domain, Prison Dragon Yin Blood Peak." Yuan Xin pointed toward the cave entrance.

Long Jiuyyao looked toward the cave. It looked like an enraged dragon opening its bloody maw, and gusts of cold wind poured out. Even he could feel the chill.

"Xin'er, go back first. There's too much Yin Sha Power here. It won't do you any good," Long Jiuyyao said, turning around.

Yuan Xin turned to leave, but couldn't bear to go. "Big brother, why don't you forget it? I know other places where the Yin Sha Power is just as strong."

"It's fine. I have an Ancient Dragon Bone. I'll be all right." Long Jiuyyao waved his hand.

Seeing that Long Jiuyyao had made up his mind, Yuan Xin turned and left—but she didn't go far. Instead, she hid in the grass.

Long Jiuyyao carefully surveyed his surroundings. A Dragon Shaped Mountain Peak towered into the clouds, and the Yin Sha Power was almost liquid.

Long Jiuyyao clenched his fist. A dark golden sheen glimmered beneath his skin as he stepped into the cave.

"Big brother, please be all right. If anything happens to you, I'll go get Dad to save you." In the end, Yuan Xin still couldn't bear to leave.

As Long Jiuyyao ventured deeper, black winds stirred his hair.

The dark wind swept past, carrying a faint trace of blood. Long Jiuyyao furrowed his sword-like brows, clearly displeased by the smell.

Closer now, he saw a Blood Yin Wind Pool about a hundred zhang across. Its waters weren't actually blood, but Yin Sha Wind Water formed from condensed Yin Sha Power.

Long Jiuyyao dipped a finger in. "Hiss!" A bone-piercing current of Yin Sha Power coiled around it like a parasite.

Long Jiuyyao looked at his finger. It had frozen in an instant, and cracks from the frost covered his skin.

"What terrifying Yin Sha Power. Just touching it made my skin crack. The pain of going in to absorb it would be unimaginable."

Long Jiuyyao hesitated. Even with an Ancient Dragon Bone, he was only in the Earth Origin Realm.

Long Jiuyyao paced back and forth. Then, steeling himself, he stripped off his robe and jumped into the Blood Yin Wind Pool. The liquid-like Yin Sha Power wrapped around him like a parasite. Long Jiuyyao used the full power of his Ancient Dragon Bone, its dark golden sheen holding back the Yin Sha Power.

Enduring the pain, Long Jiuyyao circulated his Yuan Power and refined the Yin Sha Power in the Blood Pool.

A thread of blood-red chill raced along Long Jiuyyao's meridians toward his dantian.

Though the blood-red chill was tiny, Long Jiuyyao knew how terrifying its power was.

The blood-red chill rushed straight into his dantian without meeting any resistance. Then Long Jiuyyao felt a fierce battle erupt within it. As the two forces gnawed at and fused with each other, a faint ache came from his dantian.

Faced with this struggle, Long Jiuyyao could only bring all his Yuan Power to bear. But he was relieved to find that the terrifying blood-red chill wasn't as violent as he'd expected, perhaps because the two sections of his index fingers belonged to the Primordial Dragon Bone.

So when the Yuan Power in his dantian had been depleted by nearly seven or eight tenths, the two forces finally showed signs of fusing.

As they gradually merged in his dantian, his Yuan Power, which had no set color before, turned a deep red. The Yuan Power Seed, originally about the size of a fist, also transformed into a blood-red ball of energy. A faint chill drifted around it.

As the blood-red ball of energy took shape, Long Jiuyyao's body suddenly shuddered. A powerful sensation he had never experienced before welled up from the depths of his heart and spread to every part of his body.

With the successful fusion of Yin Sha Power and Yuan Power, a wild glint flashed in Long Jiuyyao's dark eyes. His body began frantically devouring the Yin Sha Power.

The blood-red ball of energy, originally the size of a fist, kept devouring and fusing with the Yin Sha Power.

As it devoured more and more Yin Sha Power, the blood-red ball grew vivid and lustrous. A hint of unseen black flashed across it.

Fine cracks appeared across Long Jiuyyao's body. Ice continued to cover him until he was completely encased.

His unconscious, ice-bound body slowly sank, eventually disappearing beneath the Blood Yin Wind Pool. His Yuan Power continued to circulate on its own, slowly devouring the Yin Sha Power from deeper down.

"Big brother's been in there so long. Why hasn't he come out yet?" Yuan Xin murmured anxiously.

Even the Nirvana Realm experts of our clan could barely survive in there.

The light in Yuan Xin's lively eyes dimmed. She clenched her jade-like fist and started toward Prison Dragon Yin Blood Peak.

The moment she reached the cave entrance, the concentrated Yin Sha Power crawled over her body, and frost covered her delicate form.

Ice-blue Yuan Power surged. The frost receded, and she raced into the cave.

The Yin Sha Power inside the cave was several times stronger than outside.
