Both Sides Suffer Heavy Losses

His weakest point, his abdomen, was suddenly attacked in an unexpected way. The Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard was sent flying upward, its enormous body slammed against the ceiling of the cavern.

Although the Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard had astonishing defensive capabilities and its body wasn't pierced, its abdomen was still punctured with several tiny holes, and drops of blood trickled out.

"Roar~~"

The Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard was enraged. It hadn't expected to be injured and bleed.

It roared furiously and swept one claw down, snapping all the Earth Spikes beneath it.

At the same time, the wounds on its abdomen began healing rapidly.

The Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard was preparing to attack Luo Feng again.

But Luo Feng had worked hard to create this opportunity. How could he possibly let it slip by? He seized the moment and sent eight Flying Daggers shooting toward the Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard's abdomen once more.

This time, the Flying Daggers slipped through the small wounds left by the Earth Spikes and pierced into the Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard's body. Inside, the eight daggers churned wildly like fish swimming through water.

All of its internal organs were destroyed, churned directly into mush.

A great deal of blood and viscera gushed out.

"Got it."

Luo Feng was overjoyed.

If it had been any other monster, an injury like this would have killed it already.

But the Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard was too large, and its regenerative ability was extremely strong. Somehow, it still hadn't died.

"Roar~~" "Roar~~"

The Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard thrashed wildly in pain. It knew that this time, it was probably doomed.

The next moment, the Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard suddenly fixed its gaze on Luo Feng. It paid no heed to its wounded abdomen and charged at him again.

Under the Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard's cold, vertical pupils, Luo Feng felt his whole body give a violent spasm.

Fuck, this is bad!

This time, the Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard unleashed all its potential in a desperate struggle before death. Even inside the Gravity Space, it was faster than before, and its strength had increased as well.

When the Flying Daggers pierced the Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard, Luo Feng had thought victory was assured. His guard had relaxed ever so slightly.

He hadn't expected things to change so quickly. The Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard could still unleash such a powerful attack, and there was no time to dodge.

Fortunately, just before the Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard attacked, Luo Feng moved his telekinesis, and the SS-Grade Shield appeared in front of him.

"Bang~~"

But Luo Feng had still underestimated the savage, terrifying strength of a King-Level Monster.

A violent force slammed into the shield, which then rebounded against Luo Feng.

He was sent flying by a single swipe of its claw. He felt as if he'd almost been unable to withstand the force and had nearly exploded.

As he flew through the air, Luo Feng kept spitting blood. His body cracked in several places, and then he crashed into a wall dozens of meters away, driven more than ten meters deep into the rock.

If any other Advanced War God had taken a blow like that, they would have been smashed to pieces. Luo Feng had survived only because his body was strong enough.

Embedded in the rock, Luo Feng's head spun, and he could barely feel his body.

At that moment, every bone in his chest, limbs, and body was shattered, and all his internal organs had been destroyed.

Blood continued to flow from his wounds.

Luo Feng had never imagined that a King-Level Monster could attack with such terrifying force, or that it could unleash so much power before dying. It had nearly killed him instantly.

It really proved the saying: "I can make countless mistakes, but you can only make one."

Embedded in the rock, Luo Feng felt an overwhelming drowsiness creeping over him. He knew it was a sign that he'd lost too much blood.

I can't pass out!

Luo Feng knew that if he stayed in this condition without receiving treatment in time, passing out from blood loss would mean certain death, even for an Advanced War God.

I still have so many things left to do.

Dad, Mom, Ah Hua... and... Xu Xin.

I can't die. I can't die yet.

At that moment, his intense will to survive and terrifying spiritual power stimulated his adrenaline, bringing him back to his senses like a dying man rallying for one last burst of strength.

I still have a chance.

As long as I absorb the Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard's blood, my first Dragonblood Warrior transformation will heal even the most serious injuries.

I can't die.

Thinking this, Luo Feng resisted the waves of dizziness washing over his sea of consciousness and struggled to send his awareness out to scout. He found the Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard lying on the ground, barely alive.

But it hadn't died yet. It was still breathing.

No. I can't give this beast the slightest chance.

Luo Feng wasn't sure whether the Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard's terrifying regenerative ability might let it recover.

Its earlier attack had frightened him.

With a thought, he controlled the Flying Daggers still inside the Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard and made them stab wildly.

Luo Feng had been on the verge of passing out, and forcing himself to use Spiritual Telekinesis made his head throb with pain.

Fortunately, after its earlier attack, the Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard had clearly exhausted itself completely. It lay on the ground, no longer able to fight back.

Luo Feng kept attacking until the Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard's life signs vanished. Only then did he finally relax.

[ Ding: Killed King-Level Monster, Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard. Reward: 10 points. ]

Only after hearing the system notification did Luo Feng relax. The moment he did, he nearly passed out again.

No. I need to drink Dragon Blood. I need to transform into a Dragonblood Warrior. I still want to see even greater heights and reach the peak of martial arts.

He could feel that he was still losing blood. If he passed out like this, he would likely die on the spot, no matter how strong his body was.

Luo Feng used his telekinesis to control a pool of Dragon Blood and float it into the rock where he was trapped.

In the Coiling Dragon World, Dragon Blood has to be absorbed together with Blue Heart Grass. But there's no Blue Heart Grass in the Swallowed World. I wonder if drinking it will make me burn to death from the Dragon Blood's violent energy.

Luo Feng looked at the pool of Dragon Blood beside his mouth and thought.

But at this point, he had no other choice.

Drink it, or die.

"Drink!"

Luo Feng didn't hesitate. With great effort, he opened his mouth and used Spiritual Telekinesis to float the Dragon Blood inside. Then he gulped it down frantically.

"Gulp, gulp~~~"

As soon as it entered his mouth—

"Ah~~"

The Dragon Blood flowed down Luo Feng's throat and into his body. His throat hurt like it had been drenched in lava.

The Dragon Blood in his stomach made his whole body seize up and tremble.

Pain. Excruciating pain!

Once the Dragon Blood entered his abdomen, it touched organs far more delicate than the muscles beneath his skin. The agony was like countless knives stabbing through his body again and again.

The pain was intense, but Luo Feng ignored it and forced himself to calm down. Right now, all he wanted was to survive.

Wait, didn't the original story say that after absorbing Dragon Blood, you had to cultivate the Dragon Blood Secret Canon? I only fused with the Linley Template, but I don't have his memories. Where am I supposed to get the Dragon Blood Secret Canon?

Luo Feng suddenly realized this was a crucial problem.

Forget it. I'll try Five Hearts Towards Heaven first.

After familiarizing himself with Five Hearts Towards Heaven, Luo Feng had long since stopped being bound by the cross-legged posture. He could now absorb Cosmic Energy through his hands, feet, and the top of his head in any position.
