The Third Bloodline Evolution!

According to Luo Yan's understanding, one minor level of cultivation is basically equivalent to an increase of four or five levels of spirit power.

Xiao Wu being able to break through a minor level in just seven days was thanks to her starting over, coupled with her successful cultivation of the Myriad Demon Art.

Just as Luo Yan finished eating and prepared to continue using his spiritual power to nurture his essence blood, Xiao Wu walked out of the cabin and grabbed his arm.

"Brother Luo Yan, when will Da Ming and Er Ming be able to successfully comprehend it?"

Xiao Wu's gaze swept over the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, who were still motionless in their original spots.

"I don't know. Everyone's comprehension is different; the higher the comprehension, the faster it goes. It just depends on how good theirs is."

Luo Yan didn't know either.

However, since Da Ming and Er Ming were able to reach the hundred-thousand-year level by relying on the cultivation methods within their bloodlines, there shouldn't be any problem with them successfully comprehending the Myriad Demon Art.

"Alright, I guess we can only wait for them to comprehend it themselves!"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu didn't say anything else and obediently went to cultivate.

Furthermore, Luo Yan had passed the Breath Concealment Art to her that morning, so besides cultivating, she also had to comprehend the Breath Concealment Art.

Two more weeks passed, and Da Ming and Er Ming finally succeeded in their comprehension.

However, if they wanted to successfully transform into human form, they still needed to constantly refine their own bloodlines.

Therefore, after their successful comprehension, they entered a state of cultivation once again, determined to transform as soon as possible so they could head to the human world with Xiao Wu and the others.

After Xiao Wu successfully comprehended the Breath Concealment Art, she spent the rest of her time working hard on her cultivation, except for the moments she spent playing with Luo Yan while he rested.

Luo Yan was also constantly condensing his essence blood.

This was because he had learned a miserable fact from the system: if his essence blood was insufficient, he could not undergo bloodline evolution.

For this reason, he had no choice but to obediently condense his essence blood, waiting until it was fully replenished before proceeding with the bloodline evolution.

One year later.

"Damn it, I'm never using that Bloodline Soul Guide again; it was such a massive waste of time!"

"It's a good thing Tang Hao provided so much resentment value, otherwise this whole ordeal would have been a total loss!"

Luo Yan sat cross-legged on the roof of the cabin, sensing that the essence blood in his body was finally fully replenished, and cursed at the sky.

Thinking about how much time he had spent, he felt like taking out the Jade Butterfly and smashing it to pieces.

After a while, Luo Yan finally suppressed his emotions.

"Host, if you want to speed up the replenishment of essence blood, you can eat more meat from high-cultivation spirit beasts. This system didn't expect the host to be picking those with low cultivation to eat during this time."

Just then, the system's voice suddenly popped up.

Hearing this, Luo Yan felt as if a crow had just flown over his head.

He had indeed been hunting those with lower cultivation during this period. It wasn't that he couldn't catch high-cultivation spirit beasts, but rather that he felt the meat of those with lower cultivation was more tender.

"Fine, so it was my problem after all..."

"System, open the panel and let me see!"

Putting aside his other thoughts, Luo Yan opened the panel, intending to check his current status.

Host: Luo Yan Race: Purple Heaven Thunder Dog (Can evolve) Realm Cultivation: Tier 2 Demon Warrior (Peak) Physical Cultivation: Tier 3 Demon Master (Early) Resentment Value: 18,542,478

Because he had been condensing essence blood during this period, Luo Yan had made absolutely no progress in his cultivation.

Comforting!

Seeing the data in the resentment value column, Luo Yan's previous mood instantly vanished.

After dropping from the roof to the side of the Life Lake, Luo Yan was somewhat impatient. Ignoring Da Ming and Er Ming nearby, he silently chanted in his heart:

"System, perform bloodline evolution!"

"Ding! Consuming 100,000 resentment value to perform bloodline evolution. Bloodline evolution in progress..."

Following the system's prompt, a familiar sensation once again emanated from the void.

Then, boundless pain spread throughout Luo Yan's entire body, causing him to turn bright red and scalding hot.

Hiss...

Having experienced it once before, Luo Yan had mental preparation this time and did not let out any roars.

However, for some reason, this bloodline evolution was far more intense than the last one, and it lasted much longer as well.

Half a day passed, and Luo Yan still felt the pain racking his body.

Moreover, as time went on, it felt increasingly like his tendons were being pulled and his bones broken.

Unable to hold it in any longer, he couldn't help but scream out loud.

Xiao Wu and the other two, who had been in a state of cultivation, were drawn by the commotion and stopped their practice to gather around Luo Yan.

Seeing Luo Yan's face pale as paper, with blue veins bulging on his forehead like writhing earthworms struggling beneath his skin, Xiao Wu cried out in distress:

"Brother Luo Yan, what's wrong with you?!"

As she shouted, she tried to rush forward to embrace him.

Fortunately, she was held back by Da Ming.

"Sister Xiao Wu, don't get close. Big Brother must be undergoing an evolution!" Da Ming seemed to have realized what was happening to Luo Yan.

Seeing Luo Yan's clothes soaked through with sweat, clinging to his body like shackles, and observing how he seemed to be struggling to break free from those restraints, Da Ming became even more certain of his assessment.

He then continued, "Sister Xiao Wu, have you forgotten that I went through the same thing back then?"

He hadn't been born a Sky Azure Bull Python; he had possessed a lower-tier soul beast bloodline and only successfully evolved into a Sky Azure Bull Python when he broke through the ten-thousand-year level.

"That's right, Sister Xiao Wu, don't worry. Da Ming also evolved into a Sky Azure Bull Python just like this before!"

Er Ming recalled the event and chimed in to reassure her.

Hearing this, Xiao Wu's anxious mood calmed down significantly, though her eyes remained filled with worry.

Just as they were waiting for Luo Yan to complete his evolution, the Luo Yan who had been lying on the ground suddenly reverted to his true form.

Then, the limbs of the Purple Heaven Thunder Dog vanished, and his body began to stretch continuously.

His fur transformed entirely into blue scales.

Finally, his head morphed into that of a serpent, though it was quite peculiar; his eyes were purple, and there was a purple lightning mark atop his head.

After some more time, the screaming that had been coming from Luo Yan gradually ceased.

In the end, Luo Yan's true form became a blue giant python about five meters long, having grown several times larger than his original size.

Hiss!

The evolution was completely finished, and Luo Yan let out an instinctive hiss.

He then turned and dove into the Life Lake to swim a lap before returning to Xiao Wu's side.

"Human form is still better; not having feet is really hard to get used to!"

As soon as he returned to the shore, Luo Yan shifted back into his human form, looking at his hands and legs with a sigh of relief.

In terms of raw power, his true form was certainly stronger than his human form, but Luo Yan was still more accustomed to being human.

"Brother Luo Yan, have you successfully evolved now?" Seeing that the process was complete, Xiao Wu felt happy for him.

However, she was also a bit confused; after all, Luo Yan had originally been a canine, so how did he evolve into a snake?

It didn't make much sense.

Luo Yan saw the doubt in her eyes immediately: "I have the bloodline of the Dragon Clan within me, so evolving into a serpent is perfectly normal."

"Besides, I am a python, and I will definitely transform into a dragon in the future!"

Now that he had evolved into a python, Luo Yan felt that he might not be far from truly becoming a dragon, and perhaps every subsequent evolution could lead to that transformation!
