As a super magical beast second only to the Dragon-Phoenix, the Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python possessed a bloodline comparable to a Dou Sheng's.
But Queen Medusa was only a Four-Star Dou Zong. Her bloodline had yet to fully manifest, and her blood held far less energy than that of a true Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python.
That difference in energy, however, did nothing to change the rank of her bloodline.
Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the bed in his chambers, holding a jade bottle and studying the Heart Blood Essence inside.
With the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame in his possession, he could vaguely sense just how exalted that essence was.
"If I use this essence to awaken a talent, it might be even stronger than one awakened with Heavenly Flames!"
Xiao Yan sealed off his entire chamber with his soul power. Once he was sure no one would disturb him, he removed his clothes and stepped into the bath barrel he had prepared.
The barrel was filled with clear water. He tilted the jade bottle, letting drop after precious drop of essence fall in. The water instantly turned cloudy, stained the color of blood.
Unwilling to waste any, Xiao Yan immediately focused all his attention on circulating the Spirit Devouring Body Forging Mantra and began absorbing the essence to strengthen his body.
Even setting the power of her bloodline aside,
the energy in the essence alone was considerable. At the Four-Star Dou Zong level, Queen Medusa was already comparable to a Tier 7 Magical Beast.
The essence of a Tier 7 Magical Beast could still provide a substantial boost to Xiao Yan, whose physique now rivaled that of an exceptional Tier Six Magical Beast.
The energy seeped through Xiao Yan's pores, washing through his flesh, tendons, and bones, tempering and strengthening them again
