Herbert stared thoughtfully at the spot where the artificial hill had disappeared. Andrew didn't disturb him and quietly left. In his heart, he was very satisfied with Herbert. This child was not only highly talented and hardworking, but also quick to understand. He came from a noble family, yet he didn't have any of the bad habits of the aristocracy...
Andrew is very proud to have such a son.
Entering the small dimensional space, Andrew sat on the stone bed with a blank expression. He meditated for an hour before slowly opening his eyes and holding the Azure Dragon Ring in his palm.
"Over the past ten years, my Divine Power has been increasing every moment. I should have reached the Deity-level by now, right?"
Andrew muttered to himself, his eyes captivating. Ten years ago, he had tried to infuse his Divine Power into the Azure Dragon Ring, hoping to break through the final barrier. But he had failed that time.
Because of this, Andrew did not attempt it again for ten years, but instead devoted himself to comprehending its profound Mysteries. During his secluded cultivation, his soul power also slowly increased.
Today, Andrew finally gained confidence. He felt that his soul strength was sufficient to enter the core of the Azure Dragon Ring.
" Azure Dragon Essence Blood, the Sovereign’s Might... and also, the remnant soul of the Azure Dragon!"
Andrew began to release his Divine Power, and smoothly, his Divine Power broke through the Azure Dragon Ring and arrived in front of a transparent membrane.
Without hesitation, Andrew intensified his Divine Power and thrust it towards the membrane. He knew that the core area of the membrane was the Azure Dragon Ring, where the Azure Dragon Essence Blood, the Sovereign’s Might, and the Azure Dragon's remnant soul were all located.
The film is extremely tough; Andrew nearly broke through it several times, but failed each time.
"My soul power is still some distance from Deity-level. In the original story, Linley successfully recognized the Azure Dragon Ring as his master immediately after becoming a god."
After a long stalemate, Andrew persisted, constantly trying to break through, and finally...
"Buzz..."
From within the Azure Dragon Ring, a long roar seemed to echo, followed by a flash of Azure Light, and Andrew sensed a peculiar power.
"Soul Defense!"
This power flowed into his Soul Ocean, transforming into a thin membrane resembling dragon scales that protected his soul. However, a gap was clearly visible in the center of the transparent membrane.
"I have finally made the Azure Dragon Ring my true master!"
At this moment, Andrew was filled with a sense of accomplishment. Being able to recognize Sovereign Artifact at the Saint-level stage—he must be the first person in countless planes to do so!
"Lucky little fellow..." A deep, resonant voice echoed in Andrew's soul. He knew that this was the remnant soul of the Azure Dragon.
"Compared to the Sovereign Artifact, the remnant soul of the Azure Dragon is far more important!" Andrew ignored the Azure Dragon Azure Dragon's lament and, following its aura, used his Divine Power to pursue it. In a corner of the ring, he "saw" a Shattering little Azure Dragon. The little Azure Dragon floated there, barely alive, its body covered in wounds...
The dragon's horns were broken, its scales Shattering, and its tail drooped limply...
" The Azure Dragon truly Azure Dragon; it withstood Augusta's attack and still managed to retain a wisp of its soul."
Andrew greatly admired the Azure Dragon. Leaving aside its Innate Divine Ability, Augusta, as Highgod Sovereign, possessed Willpower within her Sovereign Spark that surpassed the Azure Dragon's by nearly ten thousand times...
In terms of bloodline talent, there are few in this universe that can surpass the Azure Dragon!
Andrew used his Divine Power to envelop the remnant soul of the Azure Dragon. Azure Dragon remnant soul did not resist, or rather, it had no strength to resist. In a short while, the remnant soul of the Azure Dragon seemed to melt away and flow into Andrew's soul.
"As expected of a perfectly matched soul, I feel as if the Azure Dragon's remnant soul is a part of my own soul, merging with it without any obstacles!"
Andrew to discover that his soul was improving at a visible speed. Soon, he seemed to hear a "pop," as if his soul had undergone a qualitative change in that instant.
" Deity-level, this is the true Deity-level soul!"
Andrew suddenly sensed a different place—a vast space with an endless ocean below, and his soul floating above it. This was the Elemental Sea that only Deity-level powerhouses could sense!
Not only could Andrew sense the Elemental Sea, but he could also clearly perceive the presence of the Azure Dragon Ring.
From this moment on, the Azure Dragon Ring was entirely in his grasp, and the gap in it began to slowly repair itself under the nourishment of his powerful soul force, albeit at a very slow pace.
"Next up is the Azure Dragon Essence Blood!"
Andrew's Divine Power reached the core of the Azure Dragon Ring, where a drop of golden essence blood and three drops of azure Sovereign’s Might floated. The essence blood exuded an aura that made him feel very familiar, while the Sovereign’s Might had a very heavy aura that made him feel somewhat oppressed.
After extracting the semen, Andrew swallowed it without hesitation.
The essence blood of Divine Beast is extremely precious and scarce. Beasts like the Four Divine Beasts, which possess hundreds of drops of essence blood, are very rare. This excludes Divine Beast born at the dawn of time, such as the Black Kun. These Divine Beast have lived for a long time, possess naturally high bloodline levels, are extremely large in size, and have a large amount of essence blood.
Like Beirut, whose bloodline level was high enough, but whose body size was too small and whose lifespan was short, so he didn't accumulate much essence blood in his body.
As one of the most powerful divine Divine Beast in the universe and a Sovereign, the energy in the Azure Dragon's blood essence is immense. Especially this drop within the Azure Dragon Ring, which is absolutely the essence of its blood essence. If it weren't for a bloodline of the same origin absorbing it, even Commander- level powerhouse would be overwhelmed!
In the original book, Linley absorbed this drop of essence blood, making his bloodline comparable to that of a second-generation disciple of the Azure Dragon Clan. This gave Linley immense potential; at the very least, his physical potential was raised to the level of Sovereign Artifact.
Countless planes exist, inhabited by countless races, each possessing its own unique talents. However, since the dawn of time, very few races have truly possessed top-tier talents. For example, the Four Divine Beasts, the God-Eater Rat, and the Black Kun...
These races possess immense potential in certain aspects; for example, some special Divine Beast have physical potential that can reach the level of Sovereign Artifact.
While having such potential doesn't equate to having such ability, without such potential, no matter how hard one tries, one will never reach this level.
Even if an ordinary human becomes Sovereign and has endless Sovereign’s Might to strengthen themselves, their physical body cannot even reach the strength of Divine Spark, let alone the strength of Sovereign Artifact.
The Amethyst Divine Beast are also highly talented, both in spirit and body. However, even the Sovereign Zijing, as Sovereign, cannot reach the strength of Sovereign Artifact in terms of physical body; this is the limitation of potential.
Potential is a lock, and it's incredibly difficult to unlock it using only one's own abilities! Perhaps only Orloff has managed to do so over the years.
Andrew has an advantage over Linley.
He was perfectly compatible with the Azure Dragon, and had also fused with the Azure Dragon's remnant soul, allowing him to completely fuse this drop of essence blood. The final effect was beyond even Andrew's imagination.
"Hold head high!"
Stimulated by the Azure Dragon Essence Blood, Andrew involuntarily transformed. However, this time he broke out of the small dimensional space and flew into the sky.
Because the space here is too small!
More than a decade ago, Andrew transformed during the battle on the grasslands. At that time, his appearance was already very similar to that of Azure Dragon, and he was four meters long. In the past decade or so, Andrew's strength has increased by leaps and bounds, and after transforming, he is more than ten meters long.
Transforming into a streak of azure light, Andrew soared into the clouds. Inside the Duke's mansion, five Dragon fell to the ground, unconscious, under the unintentional radiance of his dragon might, startling Howard.
Andrew flew so fast that, apart from the Dragon sensing his might, no one in the Duke's mansion noticed that he had left.
"Hold head high..."
Enduring excruciating pain, Andrew flew to the edge of the Dark Forest. There, he was undergoing another transformative change. In the midst of this transformation, Andrew lost control of his energy and was forced to leave the Duke's mansion.
"It's Andrew!"
Not long after Andrew arrived in the Dark Forest, Beirut immediately sensed his presence, took a step forward, and appeared in front of Andrew.
" Andrew, what's wrong?"
Enduring the pain, Andrew transmitted his voice, "Lord Beirut, I have accidentally obtained a drop of Azure Dragon Essence Blood, and I am absorbing it..."
A glint of light flashed in Beirut's eyes.
"Absorb the second drop of essence blood?"
He had also learned about absorbing essence blood. There were people like Andrew who changed their bloodline talents by absorbing the Divine Beast Essence Blood of divine beasts, but very few succeeded. Andrew was very lucky; for some reason, his compatibility with the Azure Dragon was perfect. Because of this, the first time he absorbed the Azure Dragon's Azure Dragon Essence Blood Azure Dragon Essence Blood, he perfectly fused it into his bloodline, and the concentration of his bloodline even exceeded that of the Azure Dragon's descendants.
It can be said that Andrew absorbed 100% of the Azure Dragon Essence Blood.
With such bloodline, it would be useless for Andrew to absorb other Azure Dragon Essence Blood, because Azure Dragon Essence Blood of the same level could no longer improve his bloodline. Otherwise, Beirut wouldn't have been so stingy with a few drops of essence blood.
To his surprise, Andrew actually obtained a drop of Azure Dragon Essence Blood that could further enhance his bloodline...
"His bloodline is still improving. Could it be that Andrew will become the second Azure Dragon in the world?" Beirut stroked his beard, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"If a second Azure Dragon can be born, then can a second God-Eater Rat also be born?" Thinking of this, Beirut's heart burned even more with excitement.
