Strike while the iron is hot!

Seeing the Great Ape weaken, Mo Yuan immediately commanded the Divine Dragon to intensify its offensive.

He sought to secure this bloodline power as quickly as possible.

Already outmatched, the Great Ape was even less capable of resisting the Divine Dragon's attacks once weakened.

After a few exchanges, there wasn't a single patch of intact flesh left on the Great Ape's body.

Its entire frame had been torn and mangled beyond recognition.

At this moment, the Great Ape was tightly coiled by the Divine Dragon, its weakened body unable to break free.

Just as Mo Yuan prepared to finish it off in one go and devour the Great Ape completely, the green orb of light belonging to the Namekian bloodline could no longer sit still.

Having devoured half of the Saiyan bloodline, the Divine Dragon's body now shimmered with streaks of golden light.

Its aura had also grown significantly stronger.

This gave the Namekian bloodline a sense of crisis.

If he continued to let Mo Yuan devour everything, he would be next on the menu.

Thus, he instantly transformed into a green divine dragon and launched a surprise attack on the purple divine dragon controlled by Mo Yuan.

The green dragon was incredibly fast, slamming into the dragon coiling the Great Ape in the blink of an eye.

This caught Mo Yuan completely off guard.

The impact caused the dragon body holding the Great Ape to loosen just a fraction.

The Great Ape reacted quickly, seizing the opportunity to break free.

Mo Yuan had never expected this.

The seemingly benign Namekian bloodline was actually a "green-skinned schemer."

That heart was rotten to the core.

To think it would launch a sneak attack on a young comrade like him who had been cultivating for less than two and a half years.

Mo Yuan was filled with indignation.

He felt like eating it alive. (Well... he already intended to!)

The weakened Great Ape stood beside the green dragon; they seemed to have reached a consensus to join forces against Mo Yuan.

However...

It was too late to team up now!

If they had joined forces earlier, combined with the original Frieza clan bloodline power, the three parties might have been enough to leave Mo Yuan helpless.

But now?

Having already devoured the Frieza clan's bloodline and half of the Saiyan bloodline, the Earthling bloodline power was now stronger than both of them combined.

Although the Namekian bloodline was potent, it was actually on par with the Saiyan bloodline. (The Saiyans had also produced gods, so their bloodline was no worse than the Namekians'. The Frieza clan were mutants; to be precise, Frieza's father, King Cold, was the mutant, and Frieza was produced through asexual reproduction, which is why their clan's bloodline approached the power of those who had produced gods only after that mutation.)

With such strength, plus a Great Ape at half-power, they posed no threat to Mo Yuan at all.

With a dragon riding in their faces, how could he possibly lose?

Facing the menacing green dragon and the golden ape, Mo Yuan charged straight at them.

Plans? Strategies?

None of that was needed!

In a total stomp, there was no room for fancy tricks.

The aura from the purple divine dragon poured forth.

The dragon body flickered and instantly vanished from its spot.

Before the green dragon and the golden ape could react, the purple dragon appeared beside them and sent them flying with a single tail whip.

They were sent spiraling in opposite directions.

The purple dragon locked its gaze on the golden ape and gave chase at high speed.

Before the green dragon could recover, it opened its massive maw and, in one gulp, swallowed the golden ape whole.

By the time the green dragon realized what had happened, where was there any sign of the golden ape?

All that remained was a purple dragon with a powerful aura, glowing with golden light.

Feeling the terrifying aura radiating from the purple dragon, the green dragon trembled in fear, like a little girl encountering a thug.

It was a pity, however, that he was no beauty; in Mo Yuan's eyes, he was merely an unfilial son who had made a complete mess of his own body.

Mo Yuan showed no mercy, lunging straight at him.

Having done this twice before, Mo Yuan was now a seasoned connoisseur.

High-end bloodline power often requires no complex cooking methods.

Sashimi is the only proper way to consume bloodline power.

After a month of hard work, Master Mo could finally savor this delicacy at his leisure.

Mo Yuan wasn't sure if it tasted good.

But after devouring the Namekian's bloodline power, only one strand of bloodline power remained within Mo Yuan's body.

Furthermore, it was one that had retained the original abilities of its bloodline.

Looking at this strand of bloodline power within him, Mo Yuan couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Could it be that a truly formidable powerhouse had once appeared among the Earthlings?

Take the Earthling bloodline within him, for instance; although it was very weak at the start.

Once activated by absorbing energy, it proved even more powerful than the bloodlines of gods that had appeared before.

It could even devour other bloodlines and assimilate their abilities for its own use.

Then there was the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in the Lookout.

Setting aside the absurd time dilation between the inside and the outside.

The sheer density of energy contained within it was something no ordinary person could achieve.

Mo Yuan suddenly wondered if it were possible that the energy here was actually intended to help Earthlings activate their bloodlines.

It was just that because Earth was located at the edge of the universe, almost no cosmic powerhouses ever came to invade.

Once martial artists lose the pressure of external threats and fail to recognize their own insignificance, they become arrogant and complacent, ceasing to strive for progress, which ultimately led to Earthlings becoming weaker with each passing generation.

By the time Earthlings turned to technology, the path of martial arts had all but withered away.

There were never many who could absorb energy to begin with.

After martial arts declined, there were even fewer practitioners.

This meant that those who could have absorbed energy to activate their bloodlines never practiced martial arts.

And those who practiced martial arts weren't necessarily able to absorb energy.

Moreover, activating the bloodline required a massive amount of energy.

On Earth, only the Hyperbolic Time Chamber could satisfy this condition.

But to train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, one had to climb Korin Tower and pass through numerous trials to enter the Lookout.

Such people were few and far between.

And so, the bloodline of the Earthlings remained buried deep away.

Of course, the above was purely Mo Yuan's personal speculation.

After dealing with the bloodline power, Mo Yuan looked at his body, which had been churned into a pulp.

It was a miracle he was still alive, to say the least.

However, for Mo Yuan, who now possessed the abilities of the Namekian bloodline, this was nothing.

Soon, a massive surge of life force erupted from within Mo Yuan's body.

It began to repair his physical form.

Mo Yuan's body, which had been swollen like a balloon, slowly deflated.

The cracks on the surface of his skin healed instantly.

His bones, flesh, and organs grew back as well.

Not far away, Lazuli finally breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Mo Yuan return to his normal size.

Although Mo Yuan's body was still covered in scabs of dried blood, making it hard to tell if he had fully recovered.

But for Lazuli, the fact that his physique had returned to normal was already wonderful news.

She felt the heavy stone that had been pressing down on her heart finally lift.

Her entire being felt much lighter.

The dark clouds that had shrouded her face parted, revealing a beautiful rainbow.

Just then, Mo Yuan moved.

His body had completely recovered.

Mo Yuan climbed up from the ground, feeling a bit itchy all over.

Oh! It was just the blood scabs.

With a sudden flex of his powerful frame, the scabs clinging to his body began to fall away, revealing his sturdy physique.

"Hiss!"

Following the sound, Mo Yuan saw Lazuli standing not far away, staring at him with wide eyes.

Mo Yuan followed Lazuli's gaze and looked down.

w(゚Д゚)w

A giant dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, swayed in the breeze.

"Big sister!!!"

Mo Yuan used both hands to restrain the giant dragon that wanted to soar into the sky, his face flushed with embarrassment as he shouted at Lazuli.

Lazuli pursed her lips o(´^`)o, "Little bean sprout, what kind of scenes haven't I seen before?"

Mo Yuan roared: "I don't care, turn around!"

"Fine, fine ╮(─▽─)╭, big sister will go make you something to eat. You haven't eaten in a month, you must be starving."

Lazuli waved her hand and turned to leave with a helpless expression.

However, the moment she turned around, a faint blush appeared on her face.

It was... actually quite big... hehe~ o(////▽////)q
