Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Bloodline, Legend, and… Coincidence

"Look, what's happening here!"

In the observation room, a mentor noticed the changes in Dylan and the other dragon-blooded warriors inside the Endless Abyss.

"Are the aliens we sent in… sick?"

One mentor was the first to notice the anomaly.

He immediately used his divine power to project Dylan's condition onto the large screen in the observation room.

In the clear projection, Dylan, a Stage 10 warrior on the verge of entering the legendary stage, was in a state of "berserk."

"What's going on? Has Chu Hao's divine domain world constructed environmental magic that causes enemies to attack each other?"

Another mentor, observing carefully, objected.

"No, this doesn't look like the effect of environmental magic!"

He lightly tapped the projection, enlarging it further.

"This guy has gone insane. That's right—only he has gone mad. The rest of the dragon-blooded soldiers seem unaffected…"

"Wait, what's this? This guy's bloodline is changing!"

In the projection, Dylan screamed and roared hysterically.

Every inch of skin, every bone, every muscle under his scales trembled!

Countless malformed flesh lumps sprouted from beneath his skin, rapidly covering his entire body!

The extreme pain forced him to release terrifying Dragon Language Magic, destroying everything he could see.

Objects, enemies, even…

His own subordinates!

Within just a few minutes, the berserk Dylan had easily killed hundreds of dragon-blooded soldiers and slaves.

The heavy casualties forced the remaining soldiers to flee in terror.

They watched from a distance, horrified by the "Lord Dylan" gone mad.

The mentors, observing, seemed to understand the situation and sighed.

"This poor creature… its bloodline is being disturbed. Its body will collapse soon!"

"Yes, its bloodline wasn't pure dragon to begin with. Under these conditions, it cannot stabilize again."

The mentors nodded in agreement.

The dragon-blooded, invading the Endless Abyss, were a special species.

They were entirely different from true dragons.

Their progenitors, the dragons, due to their unique nature, easily interbred with other species.

Offspring from these unions were collectively called dragon-blooded.

Dragon-blooded were a slave species to dragons. The weaker ones handled tasks like cleaning dragon nests, constructing buildings, and sometimes serving as emergency food.

The stronger ones became warriors under dragon command, expanding dragon territories.

But even at their strongest, they were far weaker than true dragons and served as the army's lowest-tier cannon fodder.

Dylan, however, was special…

Born with highly pure dragon blood, the purer the blood, the stronger the individual.

The exceptional ones could even wield a small amount of Dragon Language Magic.

Thus, they naturally became direct subordinates of dragons, commanding armies and slaves.

Yet…

Even the purest dragon-blooded were not true dragons.

Even the weakest dragon was a "born legendary" powerful species. Bloodline suppression was usually an insurmountable gap.

But today, some things were about to change…

And the mentors would never have believed what they were about to witness!

In the Endless Abyss, no creature's bloodline remained unchanged!

"Roar!"

Dylan, writhing in pain, fell to his knees.

His body was covered with terrifying flesh lumps, and malformed organs were developing inside him.

Blood gushed from his five orifices.

The other strong beings in the army finally confirmed Dylan's death sentence.

"There's no choice. Lord Dylan has lost control. We must find a way to stop him!"

A dragon-blooded strong being said to the others.

Although none could match Dylan at peak Stage 10, together they could kill him.

Hearing this, the others no longer hesitated and raised their weapons.

Just as they were about to strike, Dylan suddenly lifted his head to look at them.

That single gaze sent shivers down the spines of the strong beings.

Dragon authority emanated from Dylan!

Dragon authority possessed only by true dragons!

"Hiss… ha… ha…"

Under this terrifying presence, the strong beings dared not move.

Like rabbits at a dragon's mouth, they had no courage to flee!

"I'm fine now!"

Suddenly, the dragon authority vanished.

The dragon-blooded strong beings exhaled in relief.

Dylan slowly rose, weakly speaking:

"You… uh, you're okay now?"

The others were stunned.

How could Dylan, who had just shouted about his bloodline corroding and crazily slaughtered hundreds, suddenly be fine?

Dylan then spoke, shocking everyone present, including the mentors secretly observing…

"I'm not only fine, but…"

"Just now, I surpassed the limits of my bloodline. I've evolved again!"

"I have become… legendary!"

He extended his arm to show everyone.

Sure enough, the scales on Dylan's arm had returned to their normal pattern.

Even more, patterns exclusive to true dragons appeared on his arm!

"Though I don't know why this world is so strange, I can be certain…"

A greedy glint appeared in Dylan's red eyes.

"This world is a paradise for me!"

"It contains secrets that elevate bloodlines!"

"What's happening?!"

In the observation room, a mentor jumped up, shouting.

"How can Chu Hao's divine domain world allow creatures in the test world to surpass their bloodline limits and become true dragons?"

"It looks like their bloodline reverted to its origin!"

"This is completely impossible by conventional rules!"

"How did he do it?"

What no one noticed was, at Dylan's feet,

A few ugly worms were greedily feeding on the blood he had spilled!

In the Endless Abyss, nothing was truly coincidental.

Two hands named Chaos quietly controlled it all.
