"Thank you, Hall Master!"
Long Chen bowed deeply to the Hall Master. He owed him a great favor, forcing out so much essence blood, and the Hall Master's aura was rapidly declining.
He had just advanced to the Immortal Realm, which made it easy for him to fall from that realm. While this moved Long Chen, he also felt deeply guilty.
"Go ahead. They'll absorb as much as they can. If it's not enough, come find me. If you have more, remember to give it back." The Hall Master's voice was a bit hoarse, clearly forcing out so much essence blood had greatly consumed him.
Long Chen nodded and carefully stored the essence blood into the Qiankun Cauldron. He himself dared not touch the essence blood, as its power was too violent and might kill him from the shock.
Long Chen obtained the essence blood and left immediately. He knew the Hall Master needed to rest and did not want to delay his rest. This kindness was deeply engraved in Long Chen's heart.
Carrying the essence blood, Long Chen returned to his residence and immediately began refining it, because the Hall Master's essence blood was too violent to absorb.
Moreover, the Hall Master is an immortal powerhouse, and his essence blood contains immortal power. Not to mention dragon blood warriors—even if Long Chen absorbed even a single drop, his body would explode and die instantly.
After all, the barrier of realm is insurmountable. Otherwise, if a Dragon Blood Warrior directly fuses with immortal essence blood and becomes an immortal powerhouse, the Heavenly Dao would be thrown into complete chaos.
So after Long Chen obtained the essence blood, the first thing he did was to refine the Berserk Power and Immortal Power. However, this was an extremely difficult task. Fortunately, Long Chen had the Qiankun Cauldron; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked the Hall Master to borrow the essence blood.
Long Chen not only had the Qiankun Cauldron, but also Huo Ling'er helping her. Huo Ling'er's ice soul power was becoming increasingly refined, and she possessed the power of Lunar Fire and Solar Fire, allowing her to refine essence blood at an astonishing speed.
Originally, Long Chen thought it would take at least seven days, but it turned out he finished training in just three days. The refined essence blood was actually much larger than before.
What used to be only the size of a fist now had a diameter of three feet. There was no other way—Long Chen didn't dare let the Dragon Blood Warrior directly absorb the Hall Master's essence blood.
Although the essence blood no longer possesses immortal or violent power and is much more docile, it still carries the power and will of the Barbarian Dragon clan. Long Chen had to dilute it to about one percent before the dragon blood warriors could confidently absorb it.
That day, Long Chen gathered all the Dragon Blood warriors and told everyone about the origin of the essence blood. Upon learning that the Hall Master had risked lowering his realm to give them the essence blood, he was instantly filled with gratitude.
"Buzz"
When Long Chen took out the Essence Blood Orb, the dragonblood warriors erupted with rumbling within their bodies. Their dragon blood power was summoned and flowed rapidly—a form of worship of dragon blood.
"Are you ready?" Long Chen shouted.
"Ready."
The Dragonblood warriors shouted loudly, their voices shaking the sky. Their eyes were filled with longing—they longed to become stronger.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen formed hand seals with both hands, then suddenly pressed one hand on the blood orb. The blood ball trembled, and countless blood-red steel needles, as thin as cowhair, pierced toward the chests of the Dragonblood warriors.
"Puff puff puff... The
blood needle, streaked with blood, precisely pierced through the chests of the Dragonblood Warriors. Their bodies trembled violently, feeling a torrent of lava rush into their bodies.
At that moment, the dragon blood within them was burning rapidly, and in an instant, new dragon blood forced them out. The new dragon blood domineeringly poured into their bodies, violently transforming their bloodline.
"Ah..."
At the moment the blood pierced his body, one person let out a piercing scream. That person was none other than Guo Ran.
Xia Chen was also stabbed. His body was equally weak, even far inferior to Guo Ran's. He had endured more pain than Guo Ran, but before he could cry out, Guo Ran cried out first.
"Shut up! What right do you have to call him?" Xia Chen, furious, kicked Guo Ran in the butt, and Guo Ran immediately fell to the ground, rolling on the ground.
Xia Chen was in unbearable pain, but Guo Ran's action almost made him laugh in anger. This guy really has no shame at all.
The other Dragonblood warriors were already used to it; they always knew Guo Ran was the most afraid of pain, even worse than the female soldiers in the medical team.
"Xia Chen"
Long Chen witnessed this scene and nearly coughed up blood. Was it really necessary? He shouted at Xia Chen.
"Bang!"
Xia Chen struck Guo Ran on the back of his neck with his palm, causing him to immediately faint. His screams abruptly stopped, and the whole world fell silent.
"I'm speechless, so shameless." Long Chen was speechless.
He knew this was exactly what Guo Ran wanted—he wanted to complete the blood exchange while unconscious, so he wouldn't have to endure the intense pain.
However, blood exchange during a coma will definitely have some flaws, but this guy would rather have flaws than endure that kind of pain.
He was deliberately making Long Chen lose patience and knock him out. This was a classic case of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water. After all, he didn't rely on his physical body to make a living, so he could slack off whenever possible. Long Chen couldn't do anything about it.
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Long Chen noticed that most of the Dragonblood Warriors had already adapted, but quite a few still wore painful expressions, struggling to hold on.
These Dragonblood warriors had mediocre opportunities and weak strength, resulting in a poor foundation. Therefore, it took longer to adapt than others.
But it didn't matter. They had already consumed the Three Extremes Supreme Heavenly Dao Fruit and were empowered by chaotic energy. Now that the dragon blood was infused, they could catch up quickly. However, they were struggling much harder than the others.
After another incense stick's time, all the dragonblood warriors had adapted. The new dragon blood was circulating within them, and their aura had completely changed.
"Alright, next, it's time to actively absorb dragon blood based on your own strength.
This dragon blood contains endless power. If you can absorb even half, that's already quite good.
So, don't worry about running out of essence blood. Absorb it with all your might until you reach your limit. This opportunity comes only once, so don't miss it.
Especially for those returning later, this is your only chance to close the gap, so you must give it your all. Long Chen said.
"Yes!"
The Dragon Blood warriors responded loudly, each forming hand seals and activating the Dragon Blood Body Refining Technique, desperately absorbing the essence blood.
Blood-red threads lit up, and the energy within the blood spheres slowly poured into the dragonblood warriors' bodies. As they rapidly absorbed it, the blood spheres began to shrink.
Each Dragonblood Warrior desperately absorbed dragon blood, with Long Chen guarding them nearby. As time passed, the aura of the Dragonblood Warriors grew stronger and more terrifying.
Moreover, as they absorbed the essence blood, dragon-shaped phantoms formed around them. They didn't summon any phenomena; the phenomena generated automatically before they could summon them.
These visions are interconnected and mutually resonate, forming a peculiar standpoint, and the visions seem to have life, radiating a strange rhythm.
One Day, Two Days... On the seventh day, the blood-red threads on Gu Yang's chest shattered. He finally reached his limit and could no longer absorb even the slightest bit of power.
"Hahaha... Gu
Yang laughed loudly toward the sky, his voice shaking the sky. His laughter carried the sound of a dragon's roar, and his blood energy surged skyward, causing the wind and clouds to change color.
