Chapter 113: Dragon Valley, Here I Come!
As Yu Tianlin lifted the Dragon Slayer Blade, Yu Yuanzhen stepped forward as well, stopping beside it. He summoned his own Bright Holy Dragon skull, then closed his eyes. After a brief moment of preparation, a beam of light shot from his forehead and sank into the Dragon Slayer Blade.
"Alright. I've already imprinted a spiritual mark onto the divine blade using the skull of the Holy Light Dragon." After completing the imprint, Yu Yuanzhen retrieved his skull and warned solemnly, "Remember this, the spiritual mark can only last 6 months."
"If 6 months pass, the mark will dissipate. You will lose the coordinates back to Douluo Continent. Even if you fully charge the divine blade and cleave space to leave the small world, you will still fall onto an unfamiliar continent, and returning will be extremely difficult."
"Don't worry, Grandpa," Yu Tianlin said in a deep voice. "I'll keep track of the time. I'd rather come back half a month early than drag it out until the 6 month deadline."
"Good that you understand."
After the warning, Yu Yuanzhen flipped his hand and took out a small porcelain bottle filled with true dragon blood. He opened it, then used Spirit Power to wrap around the blood inside, drawing it out so it floated above the Dragon Slayer Blade.
The Dragon Slayer Blade sensed the aura of true dragon blood nearby and immediately began to tremble. Yu Tianlin tightened his grip with both hands, afraid it would slip free.
"This is the blood of an 80,000 year Fiery Dragon," Yu Yuanzhen said as he controlled the floating blood. "Back then, it was personally slain by the 11th clan leader. All of its dragon blood was preserved for the sake of sharpening this divine blade."
"Next, I'll smear the blade with true dragon blood. Tianlin, hold it steady."
Yu Tianlin nodded, his expression turning solemn as he increased the strength in his hands.
Once Yu Yuanzhen saw he was ready, he did not hesitate. He guided the true dragon blood downward until it touched the Dragon Slayer Blade.
The instant the blood made contact, the blade, which had been trembling lightly, froze for a brief moment. Then, in the next instant, it erupted into violent vibrations, more than 10 times stronger than before.
Fortunately, Yu Tianlin was prepared. He clamped the hilt with both hands. Otherwise, the blade might truly have flown from his grasp.
As the true dragon blood seeped into the weapon, the trembling slowly weakened. Yet at the same time, a sharp aura rose steadily, growing more intense by the breath. Even standing behind the spine of the blade, Yu Tianlin felt a tearing sting against his skin.
Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian did not face the edge. They stood on either side of the Dragon Slayer Blade. Otherwise, they would not have been able to endure its dragon killing sharpness head on.
When the Dragon Slayer Blade finally stopped shaking, its sharpness seemed to reach a terrifying peak.
Yu Tianlin understood instantly.
It was sharpened.
But according to what his father had said half a year ago, sharpening the Dragon Slayer Blade with true dragon blood only lasted for half an incense stick. That meant what came next was the most important part.
"Transfer Spirit Power!"
Yu Yuanzhen gave a low shout. Together with Yu Luomian, he acted first, pouring Spirit Power into the Dragon Slayer Blade from the left and right.
At the same time, the surrounding Spirit Douluo elders moved. Their 8 Spirit Rings appeared together as they sent Spirit Power into the patterns of the magic array beneath them.
The ground patterns lit up, releasing a faint white glow. The glow gathered toward the center at a visible speed, then rose like a stream and poured into the Dragon Slayer Blade.
The Dragon Slayer Blade flared with brilliant light. A terrifying aura burst outward, and beneath the blade, a faint phantom of a true dragon appeared.
Yu Tianlin was holding the Dragon Slayer Blade horizontally in front of him, and the light blocked his vision. He could not see what kind of dragon phantom it was, so he slowly raised the blade above his head.
Only then did he see it clearly.
It was a phantom of a blazing fire dragon.
It had to be the influence of the Fiery Dragon blood.
The blazing dragon phantom twisted and struggled wildly, yet it could not break free. With the continuous injection of massive Spirit Power, the aura erupting from the Dragon Slayer Blade climbed higher and higher, until at a certain instant, it reached a terrifying peak.
Yu Yuanzhen sensed that moment sharply and roared, "Slash!"
Hearing his grandfather's command, Yu Tianlin moved on instinct. He raised the Dragon Slayer Blade high and slashed down with all his strength, cleaving the blazing dragon phantom in two amid its mournful howl.
At that instant, the full power of the Dragon Slayer Blade erupted.
At the same time, the spiritual imprint Yu Yuanzhen had implanted earlier was also activated. Fortunately, Yu Yuanzhen was nearby. Under his control, the imprint fell back into dormancy, waiting to be drawn out again the next time the Dragon Slayer Blade erupted.
As Yu Tianlin's slash completed, the Dragon Slayer Blade traced a brutal arc, tearing open a dark rift in the space before it.
"Go in, and be careful in the small world." As the spatial rift formed, Yu Yuanzhen pushed Yu Tianlin forward and spoke one last time. "If you truly can't defeat those powerful dragon souls, don't force it. Your safety comes first."
With his grandfather's words echoing in his ears, Yu Tianlin gripped the Dragon Slayer Blade, now drained of its earlier burst, and stepped into the spatial rift.
The moment he entered, his vision went completely black.
Then came the sensation of space twisting and pulling. His body felt like it was being dragged apart and stitched back together. He grew dizzy, nauseous, and unbearably uncomfortable.
That feeling lasted for a long time before finally fading.
Yu Tianlin's vision returned.
But before he could even take in his surroundings, he felt a fierce weightlessness. Howling wind screamed past his ears.
He was falling.
Yu Tianlin was not surprised at all.
Ever since the clan decided to send him into the Dragon Valley Small World, they had told him everything they knew. The first point was that upon entering, he would appear in mid air and fall to the ground.
Yu Tianlin instinctively tried to summon his Spirit Power, but it was useless. His Spirit Power had sunk completely, and he could not mobilize even a thread of it.
Spirit Power was sealed, but his dragon power was not.
Just as he was about to hit the ground, Yu Tianlin directly entered dragon transformation. At the same time, he tossed the Dragon Slayer Blade to the side and rolled away, shifting his body sideways to avoid injury.
There was no other choice.
The Dragon Slayer Blade was a divine weapon and could not be stored in a storage spirit tool. It was also massive, nearly 4 meters long. If he landed while still carrying it, he might injure himself. For now, he could only throw it aside and deal with it after he stabilized himself.
