Chapter 9: Devouring the Dragon
Yao Xuan took just over 20 minutes of calmly meditating, at this point he clearly felt that he had fully recovered.
This is due to the fact that he has improved the quality of the Pellets with the Sky Poison Pearl, a perfect quality pellet is incredible to say the least.
"So that's cultivating... I must say it's a different feeling." Yao Xuan muttered as he opened his eyes.
Then he got up, he looked thoughtful as he looked in a certain direction, taking out one of the maps he bought earlier, it confirmed what he thought.
"Wasteland of Deaths... A place full of dangers and avoided by the residents of this empire, but what they don't know is that there is one of the best legacies to be inherited."
Yao Xuan muttered, he seemed to have chosen to change his initial plans, Floating Cloud City could wait a little longer.
"But before that, I need to think of a method to get past the two Flood Dragons, if possible I don't want to have any conflict with them."
Yao Xuan continued to think, it was then that he remembered the Crimson Dragon's corpse.
Originally Yao Xuan wanted to obtain his lineage and physique, but for that he would need to find a method, after checking all the things Luan Li gave him, he found some methods of formations.
One of them was the Blood Transfer Formation, an ancient and very cruel formation, even considered forbidden and banned in several regions.
Such a formation would transfer everything from the target to the formation master, including the blood, knowledge and cultivation base, it would be something that Yao Xuan could not bear right now, this would be a leap of five great cultivation realms.
Yao Xuan thought of a formation after realizing that using his innate skill "Return to the Void" would have too much impact on a baseline cultivation, for that reason he would never be able to devour anything that is more than two great cultivation realms above him.
But the formation ended up having the same problem, it was then that he remembered a detail.
"Damn it, how could I not have noticed this before? The Dragon Transformation Scriptures consist of turning me into a dragon, so I could just devour this guy and use the technique.
It would be useful both to get the benefits and to suppress the effects, it's a pity that it only works for dragons, there are so many corpses of different beasts in these rings that Luan Li gave me."
Yao Xuan muttered as he came to a conclusion of what to do, what he wants is different from the innate ability to assimilate bloodlines from the Dragon Transformation Scriptures.
What Yao Xuan wants is to get everything from this dragon, his bloodline, skills and physique, and of course greatly increase his cultivation base, but without suffering a backlash for devouring a beast several realms above him.
The role of the Dragon Transformation Scriptures in this case is to convert the entire dragon cultivation base into dragon marks, so Yao Xuan will not rush forward uncontrollably causing damage to his cultivation base or his own body.
The reason for Yao Xuan is nothing more than to go to the Wasteland of Deaths to accept the challenges of the Primordial Azure Dragon, he thinks that by becoming a half dragon the Flood Dragons will not bother him.
Upon deciding, Yao Xuan tried to look for a secluded place, where he wants to do this test and see if it really is possible.
After some time he finally found a cave, such a cave appeared to be small on the outside but its interior was huge, just like the previous cave of this dead dragon.
So Yao Xuan quickly removed the dragon's body from the pearl's space, and then raised his hand.
"Innate Ability, Returning to the Void." Yao Xuan then began the devouring process.
Before that, Yao Xuan tried to use the duplication ability on the Crimson Dragon's body, however it was unsuccessful, it seems that the duplication ability cannot be applied to living things, even if it is after their deaths.
However the core could be duplicated, Yao Xuan then duplicated every single core of the Profound beasts he had.
With that, he had two Scarlet Dragon cores to devour along with his body and blood essence.
"ARRGHHHRRR" after the process started, all Yao Xuan could feel was pain, endless pain, a pain that only increased more and more.
But even amidst such torture Yao Xuan still managed to reason, and then circulate the Dragon Transformation Scriptures. The technique was performed quickly, even though it didn't lessen the pain, Yao Xuan could feel his bones and flesh becoming stronger and stronger.
The technique circulated inside its body faster and faster as a vortex sucked the dragon's massive body into nothingness.
The amount of Dragon Marks started to jump.
•25 marks
•45 brands
•93 brands
•100 marks
Upon reaching the amount of 100 marks, the advance seemed to momentarily stop, then various information popped into Yao Xuan's mind.
Among that information were two skills, the True Dragon Fire and the True Dragon Palm/Fist, this was a clear sign that the technique approved Yao Xuan as its master.
It was then that other information emerged, new techniques emerged thanks to Yao Xuan's new bloodline, this showed that his method was a success.
The dragon marks came back to increase even more this time.
•113 brands
•140 brands
•182 brands
•197 brands
•245 Brands
•296 brands
After reaching 296 dragonmarks, it was that the technique seemed to have reached the current limit of Yao Xuan's body.
At this moment he was panting heavily, it was as if he was holding a whole mountain behind his back.
"It's finally over, at least for now." Yao Xuan mumbled with difficulty before composing himself.
bang
"Huh, what the hell?!"
bang bang bang bang bang
The next moment something that surprised Yao Xuan happened, his body fiercely shuddered, and then six small rumbles sounded from his body.
Yao Xuan's cultivation base skyrocketed, from the 10th level of Nascent Profound Realm to the 6th level of True Profound Realm.
Be it his strength or reserves of profound energy, everything increased by a large margin.
Yao Xuan was taken aback at first, but soon returned to normal, after consuming 15% of all the energy the Scarlet Dragon had, it was clear that he would make a breakthrough.
Yes, only 15% was absorbed, even though Yao Xuan now possesses the physique of a Dragon, he is nowhere near able to withstand the profound energy of an Emperor Profound Realm beast.
As for the rest, it's all stored in his Profound Veins, and will be assimilated when he can bear it. Something that will only be possible in the Sky Profound Realm.
Unlike Yun Che who only consumed the dragon's flesh, Yao Xuan consumed it in its entirety, including two cores, and even Yun Che had only dared to blindly eat it when he was in the Earth Profound Realm.
Yao Xuan then began to meditate, first to recover and then to study his new techniques.
