The essence blood within a Dragon Race member was even more powerful than an ancient beast's.
More importantly...
Whether a Saint Grade ancient beast possessed it came down to luck.
It might have it, or it might not.
But every ordinary Saint Grade Dragon Race member was certain to carry the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline!
Even so...
Few dared set their sights on the Dragon Race.
The reason was simple.
The Dragon Race had few branches, and its members felt a powerful bond and sense of belonging through their bloodline.
In short, they fiercely protected their own...
Whenever Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood appeared, it was bound to cause an enormous stir.
People throughout the Saint-level Realms would flock to it.
And the Dragon Race, which prized its heritage above all else, would never tolerate Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood falling into outside hands.
That also meant a storm of blood was sure to follow...
Fortunately...
Ancient Beast Essence Blood was different.
The Ancient Beast Race had many branches, scattered among civilizations such as the Blood Race, the Human Race, and the Demon Race.
Nor were they as fiercely protective and domineering as the Dragon Race, insisting on controlling even the essence blood of their branches.
A Blood Race ancient beast, for instance, was not part of an orthodox branch of the Ancient Beast Race.
It would not draw the attention of the Ancient Beast Main Line.
So the Ancient Beast Essence Blood Chen Ming had obtained was "clean."
It was also an exceptionally rare resource.
"That does sound good..."
Chen Ming nodded.
He had grown interested in the Ancient Beast Essence Blood as well.
He could hardly lose by preparing resources for Divine Essence early.
Just then...
A world announcement appeared before Chen Ming.
