Chapter 5650 Blood Merger Art
The Hidden Dragon warriors had seen some original Jiuli immortal characters under Tang Wan-er’s guidance. However, due to time constraints, they hadn't been able to comprehend them. In a flash, those characters had vanished, leaving them filled with regret.
At the time, only Xiao Yue and a few select individuals had managed to seize the opportunity and grasp a handful of characters—yet even that was enough to transform their lives. These runes had not only reshaped their cultivation paths but also granted them some karmic luck, allowing them to condense their own core veins.
Hence, when they saw so many original Jiuli immortal characters before them, they were very excited.
Long Chen had Tang Wan-er arrange for everyone to comprehend them together. However, he also had a few warriors stand guard in case other forces arrived.
Long Chen himself never had the time to study these three thousand divine runes. So, whether they could grasp them now depended entirely on their luck.
After making the arrangements, Long Chen stepped into the spatial channel.
The Heavenly Doyen energy here was full of majestic dragon might, forming a powerful current, one that only someone with dragon blood could withstand. Fortunately, the raging energy was colliding with the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, creating a buffered region—an optimal place for cultivation.
In this region, the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree’s light washed over everyone’s souls, purging their negative emotions and helping them enter a state of profound focus.
This tree was a heaven-defying treasure, capable of clearing the mind and elevating comprehension. With its power, their chances of success skyrocketed.
After organizing the scouts, Tang Wan-er immediately sat down to comprehend the runes. She noticed Long Chen had also entered a meditative state within the spatial channel.
Ripples of sacred energy pulsed from the channel, its aura continuously intensifying.
Long Chen followed the Dragon Sovereign’s instructions, calming his heart. Initially, he had planned to replenish his energy first, but the Dragon Sovereign told him there was no need—he could start immediately.
“Release your violet blood’s power. Stop using it to suppress your dragon blood,” the Dragon Sovereign’s voice echoed in his soul.
BOOM!
Long Chen had always relied on his violet blood to keep his dragon blood in check. Hence, without its suppression, his dragon blood went berserk, surging like a rampaging beast. It clashed violently with his seven-color Supreme Blood, its rebellious nature on full display.
Blood-colored scales erupted across Long Chen’s body. His Dragon Blood Battle Armor activated on its own, but this time, its power was uncontrollable—wild and destructive. It felt as if it was trying to shatter his body and escape his control.
“What’s going on? Is it rebelling?!” exclaimed Long Chen.
A wave of shock coursed through Long Chen. He had controlled this blood for years. Why did it suddenly want to abandon him?
He had not expected the dragon blood that he had controlled for so many years to actually want to leave him. It seemed to be mercilessly and violently abandoning him.
“You are not a real dragon,” the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign explained. “Your dragon blood submitted to you only because you suppressed it and my will kept it in check. Now that it senses the call of the Emperor Reverse Scale, it’s natural for it to want to leave you.”
After pausing a bit, the Dragon Sovereign continued, “The real trial starts now. Listen well. Focus on the rune I’ve transmitted to you.”
Long Chen steadied himself and peered into his soul, where a glowing rune appeared before him.
It resembled a towering mountain, composed of over ten smaller runes. Those runes flowed around like dragon-shaped lifeforms, and Long Chen sensed a fiery aura from them.
The Dragon Sovereign instructed, “Use your heart to sense it. See if you can call out its name.”
Without hesitation, Long Chen whispered, “Merge.”
The glowing rune suddenly exploded, transforming into millions of tiny runes. As they scattered, they spread from his spiritual space to his limbs.
When these runes flowed into Long Chen’s veins, his violet blood and seven-color Supreme Blood quivered slightly but didn’t react much. On the other hand, his dragon blood erupted.
As it was set ablaze, it roiled through Long Chen’s meridians, causing Long Chen to grit his teeth in pain.
Fortunately, Long Chen’s pain tolerance was high, so he could maintain his focus, concentrating on the movements of these runes.
These runes were chasing down his dragon blood, setting the latter ablaze.
As Long Chen’s dragon blood ignited, smoke started appearing in his meridians, as if they were being charred.
“Impurities?” Long Chen was startled. The black dust left on his meridians were the impurities of his dragon blood. Within them, he sensed anger and resentment.
When Long Chen sensed this, his heart shook. He had believed that, after all these years, the blood had fully merged with him. Yet now, it was clear—it had never truly submitted. It had only been waiting for a chance to break free.
Cold sweat beaded on his back. If this hidden resentment had erupted in battle, he would have been doomed.
“In the end, what doesn’t come from your father and mother has its own motives,” Long Chen sighed.
His violet blood came from his mother, while his seven-color Supreme Blood came from his father. These two bloodlines had always silently protected him.
Although his seven-color Supreme Blood had once been stolen from him, once it returned, it became an unshakable part of him.
Realizing this, Long Chen missed his father and mother even more. Perhaps this was the most selfless love in this world.
These runes continued to chase down the remaining impurities in his dragon blood. As a result, the flames grew stronger. His dragon blood was shrinking, drying up. In the end, all that remained were some pure bloodline runes.
“The Blood Merger Art is a vital step in the sovereign dragon race before reaching the Human Emperor realm,” explained the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign. “Through this process, impurities accumulated from slaying powerful beings are erased. The sovereign dragon race is safeguarded by its sacred energy, preventing resentment from invading the soul. However, since your dragon blood was never truly yours, it was vulnerable to corruption. Now, through the Blood Merger Art, it is at its purest state.”
“Pure, sure... but it looks like it’s barely clinging to life,” Long Chen muttered, eyeing the weakened dragon blood runes.
“There’s no avoiding it. To remove a tumor, you must cut away the flesh. But now, your dragon blood has truly become a part of you. Your control over it has reached a whole new level. It will no longer clash with your seven-color Supreme Blood, nor will it require your violet blood to suppress it. The time has come. Your dragon blood’s core has been wounded—it must be repaired. Activate your divine ring.
The moment Long Chen summoned his eight-color divine ring, endless energy poured into his blood.
