At the thought, a delighted smile spread across Yao Xuan's face!
[Ping! Would you like to fuse with the Golden Dragon King Bloodline now?]
Just as Yao Xuan was rejoicing, the system's somewhat cold prompt sounded again!
"Fuse!"
First, he activated the system ability [Stealth] to hide his aura. Then, without hesitation, Yao Xuan chose to fuse with the Golden Dragon King Bloodline!
In the next instant, a mysterious golden energy surged out from deep within Yao Xuan's body, rushing wildly through his limbs and bones!
A sensation too strange to describe enveloped Yao Xuan. It felt as if his blood were about to boil, and heat poured from every pore in his body!
At the same time, faint golden markings slowly appeared, starting from Yao Xuan's forehead. They gradually spread over his entire body, eventually forming a golden cocoon of light!
Meanwhile!
At the bottom of the Lake of Life, in the Star Dou Great Forest!
"Hm? This aura... the Golden Dragon King?"
"But wasn't the Golden Dragon King sealed by the Divine Realm already?"
"Then who was that aura just now?"
"Could it be...? Oh no, my head hurts. I have to keep sleeping..."
"But if I can find him, the wounds on my body might heal faster!"
"Those bastards from the Divine Realm... Our Soul Beast Clan will return one day!"
A stunning silver-haired girl slowly opened her beautiful eyes.
Her pale, lovely face inspired tenderness. Her gaze held a measure of confusion, anticipation, and longing.
But she seemed terribly sleepy.
Soon, she closed her eyes again and fell back into slumber.
Back to Yao Xuan.
He was inside the golden cocoon of light.
Yao Xuan felt as though he were inside a volcano.
Every cell in his body seemed to be swelling wildly!
"So this is what a bloodline transformation feels like? It's really unpleasant!"
"But without weathering the storm, how can you see the rainbow?"
"As a transmigrator, how could I let a little setback like this defeat me?"
Though he endured excruciating pain, Yao Xuan's resolve remained unshaken. He had no intention of giving up!
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
One hour!
A full hour passed. As he endured the horrific pain, Yao Xuan could also feel his body undergoing a second transformation!
The Emperor Auspicious Beast's body was already incredibly powerful.
But compared to the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, it still fell far short!
Now, as that mysterious golden energy flowed through him, Yao Xuan's very essence of life was leaping to a higher level, undergoing a second evolution!
This evolution should have been impossible, yet it was truly happening. Yao Xuan's bloodline was beginning to transform toward the Golden Dragon King Bloodline!
At the same time, as Yao Xuan's body gradually absorbed the golden energy, the final great mass of it surged into his right arm.
At that moment, the golden markings on Yao Xuan's right arm blazed with dazzling light. His right arm completed a true transformation—a transformation in its very level of life!
"I can feel that I've gotten so much stronger! Let's check my current status!"
With a thought, Yao Xuan activated [Eye of Detection] on himself!
[Master: Yao Xuan] [Race: Emperor Auspicious Beast] [Cultivation: 595 years, 6 months] center </center> [Race Skills: Intimidation, Soul Beast Blessing] [System Abilities: Devour Evolution, Eye of Detection, Goddess Affinity, Storage Space, Teleportation Point, Stealth] [System Items: Bloodline Awakening Card x3, Selection Treasure Chest x15] [Bloodline: Golden Dragon King (1%)] [Bloodline Abilities: Golden Dragon Claw, Golden Dragon Body]
As Yao Xuan willed it, a translucent status panel appeared before him.
"Golden Dragon Claw, Golden Dragon Body? Those seem to be Tang Wulin's abilities in the original timeline. I can't believe they've become my Bloodline Abilities!"
"But it makes sense. Tang Wulin gained those abilities by fusing with the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline Power, and I've fused with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline too!"
Looking at the newly displayed "Bloodline" and "Bloodline Abilities," surprise flashed through Yao Xuan's eyes. He soon understood, then began examining his new abilities.
First was the Bloodline Ability, Golden Dragon Claw.
When activated, it covered Yao Xuan's right claw in Golden Dragon scales and transformed it into a true Golden Dragon Claw.
Once he used the Golden Dragon Claw, he would gain a direct boost to his strength, doubling it. The Golden Dragon scales would also further enhance his defense.
The Golden Dragon Claw also possessed the property of Shatter. It was practically unstoppable; when pushed to its limits, it could even shatter a god!
Of course, the upper limit of the Golden Dragon Claw's Shatter ability depended on the strength of Yao Xuan's bloodline. With his current strength, he naturally couldn't hunt gods using it.
Even so, once he activated the Golden Dragon Claw, Yao Xuan's attacks would have no trouble breaking through the defenses of an ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. It was a formidable new trump card.
Using the Golden Dragon Claw would also give Yao Xuan a measure of Dragon Might.
It would suppress hostile dragon-type enemies to a certain extent.
Conversely, it would enhance all friendly dragon-type Soul Beasts.
It was an incredibly powerful and well-rounded Soul Skill.
However, using the Golden Dragon Claw consumed a large amount of Yao Xuan's Bloodline Power.
With only 1% of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, Yao Xuan couldn't maintain the Golden Dragon Claw for long yet.
As for the second Bloodline Ability, Golden Dragon Body, it was just as powerful.
When activated, it greatly enhanced Yao Xuan's Bloodline Power, comprehensively boosting his strength, speed, attack, and defense.
Of these, the Soul Skill increased his strength the most.
Of course, as a Bloodline Ability, it also consumed Bloodline Power while active.
For now, it could only serve as Yao Xuan's trump card, not something he could maintain for long.
"Excellent! With my current strength, I might even be able to hunt some of the weaker Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts! My strength has surged after this breakthrough!"
"But this forest is only the Soul Hunting Forest, where Spirit Hall keeps Soul Beasts in captivity. The strongest Soul Beasts here probably have only three or four thousand years of cultivation."
"If I only hunt those Soul Beasts, who knows how long it'll take me to reach a thousand years of cultivation and Shape-Shift into a human!"
"The Star Dou Great Forest is where I can grow rapidly! Fortunately, I have the Stealth ability, so I don't need to worry about being discovered and hunted!"
"Of course, before I leave, I should give Yu Xiaogang a few more 'gifts'!"
Looking at his status panel, Yao Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Then he turned and looked at Yu Xiaogang, who lay unconscious on the ground!
