Lu Li was silent for a while. Later, he put the concern of Master of Fairy Fox and Master of Silver Dragon aside and asked another question, “You have sent a distress call. How long do you think it will take for Master of Silver Dragon to arrive?”
“I don’t know!”
Bones of Tortoise shook his head, “Masters of Silver Dragon, Blood Ape, and Black Wolf are far away. But they are fast. I think they can arrive in a few days. The others may need 10 days to half a month.”
“Good!”
Lu Li said to Patriarch of Law Enforcement, “Great-grandpa. Let us take our minds off the beasts. They won’t find the Wicked Bead that easily, and I don’t believe the Shadow Bats can find us as well. The Master of Silver Dragon will have to dispatch many beasts to search for us. I think that it can take a month before they can find us. I will consume the Origin Blood Essence now and cultivate for a while. We will see when they find us. The Wicked Bead is strong enough.”
“Okay!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement nodded. He would not ask too many questions when Lu Li was confident.
Lu Li then asked Bones of Tortoise, “If and when they find the Wicked Bead, will they be able to trap us with that kind of formation?”
“Utterly impossible!”
Bones of Tortoise answered with certainty, “The formation in that basin is formed naturally and cannot be built, not even by me. Besides… few of the beasts understand formations. My species is the strongest in this field, and only second to none.”
“Well then!”
Lu Li sent Bones of Tortoise to the outer hall and had him kill the three beast Masters which were useless now. Lu Li spared Zi Ji’s life. After all, she was a Beast God. She might be able to offer help at some point in time.
“I will consume the Origin Blood Essence first. Do not touch me no matter what happens. I will be fine!”
Lu Li told Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Ke Mang and then added, “Great-grandpa, if you think that I cannot stand it any longer, use your Force to contain me.”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Ke Mang nodded. Lu Li took out the jade box. From the huge heart in the box came out a surge of power along with the pungent smell of blood and something mysterious.
“What…”
Lu Li could sense the Origin Blood Essence in the heart. He was trembling. His blood was boiling, his silver dragon mark sparkled, and his eyes became red.
“Hoy!”
Lu Li tore the heart apart and reached for the two pale rose-colored blood. He swallowed them and then sat down on the ground with his legs crossed.
“Swish, swish~”
As soon as the two drops of Origin Blood Essence entered his body, he felt two streams of warmth traveling across him. Then, he felt like he was burning up. Once again, he had to endure the burnt sensation.
To make it worse, the Origin Blood Essence appeared to be stronger this time. Lu Li did not know if it was because there were two drops of Origin Blood Essence or if the Origin Blood Essence was fresh. Either way, he was in more pain now than before.
He sensed that every piece of his muscles and bones were burning up. He could not describe with words the pain he was experiencing right now, as if his soul was being stabbed by countless needles…
“Ah!”
Soon, Lu Li felt he was losing control. Even though he had strong resistance towards pain, he still rolled on the ground; his face twisted.
“Li-er!”
“Saint Lord!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Ke Mang were shocked. Ke Mang was about to dash to Lu Li out of instinct when Patriarch of Law Enforcement—who was calmer—remembered Lu Li’s words and shouted, “Do not move!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement used psychic power to check Lu Li. A few moments later, he used Force to control Lu Li.
Ke Mang was worried. After noticing this, Patriarch of Law Enforcement said, “It is okay. The two drops of Origin Blood Essence are reinforcing his body, but its strength is too potent to be released all at once. He will be fine.”
Ke Mang nodded, albeit still worried. Lu Li was the Saint Lord for the Shadowland Race and their patron. If something happened to Lu Li, the ancient races such as the Shadowland Race alike would have to retreat to the Deserted World and would never enjoy the pleasant days they had now.
“Ah~”
Being contained by Force, Lu Li could not move. But he could still let out howls like a beast. His facial muscles were twisted, and he was trembling.
It took him an hour to feel less pain. Patriarch of Law Enforcement kept using the Force to contain Lu Li. Another hour passed. The glare in Lu Li’s eyes died down. Finally, Patriarch of Law Enforcement was able to stop using Force.
“Phew, phew~”
Lu Li lay on the ground like a dead fish. He kept his eyes closed and breathed heavily. He did nothing; he was just lying still. Another hour went by before he opened his eyes. He looked at Patriarch of Law Enforcement. He nodded and then fainted.
“This Origin Blood Essence of the Silver Dragon is strong. It is still reinforcing Li-er’s body.”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement sensed with psychic power that there was still strange energy within Lu Li’s body which was expelling some dark liquid. It implied that the Origin Blood Essence had been reinforcing Lu Li’s physical body, and the filth inside of him was being driven out.
“What?”
After the time for three incense sticks to burn, Patriarch of Law Enforcement suddenly let out a cry of surprise. Ke Mang looked over.
He found Patriarch of Law Enforcement in shock and turned to Lu Li. The former’s pupils contracted in astonishment.
From one of Lu Li’s hand grew a small silver scale and more and more were coming. Soon, that hand was covered in scales which then appeared on his arm. His robe was torn apart. Scales grew out on his other arm and legs.
“What, how…”
Ke Mang’s mouth was wide open. He was flurried. Lu Li was human. Was he mutating? Was he transforming into the species of Silver Dragon because he consumed the Origin Blood Essence?
Even though the ancient races were the results of beasts and humans mating together, all the ancient races in the Heaven Reverse Universe believed themselves as humans or special humans.
They did not see themselves as beasts which were regarded as inferior in the Heaven Reverse Universe. The ancient races possessed high intelligence. How could they be seen as the same as beasts?
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Lu Li’s robe was ripped. Eventually, his entire body was covered by the scale apart from his face. Otherwise, he would look like a Silver Dragon man.
But…
Ke Mang looked carefully and found Lu Li’s scale quite beautiful. Those around his shoulders and waist had some patterns on them. If looked from afar, it appeared that Lu Li had put on an elegant silver armor. It was majestic-looking.
“Dragon Armor? Is this a new Bloodline skill?”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement remembered what Lu Li told him about his several Bloodline skills. Did he awaken another Bloodline skill after the Origin Blood Essence of the Silver Dragon was consumed?
“If it is a Bloodline skill, then it is rather impressive!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement remembered how strong Ao Ding was. If the Dragon Armor could provide such strong defense, then this Dragon Armor could be as strong as Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s ninth rank Mystic Armor.
“Everyone has one Bloodline skill. How can Lu Li have several? Strange, utterly strange…”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement checked for a while longer, but he could not find an answer. He shook his head. Only after Lu Li woke up could he find the answer.
