Chapter 755: Gloomy Lamp Dragon! (4)
Transform from insect to lizard, lizard to snake, snake to ancient, and evolve into a saint—that is the four stages of cultivation in the Ancient Saint Technique.
The Ancient Saint Technique that Monka provided to Levi, known as the “Flame-Blood Ancient Saint Technique,” was obtained from the ruins of an abandoned Ancient Saint temple. To practice this Ancient Saint Technique, one must consume the flesh of creatures known as “flame beasts” on a regular basis.
By absorbing the unique “flame-blood energy” from the blood and flesh of these flame beasts, practitioners of the Ancient Saint Technique undergo a transformation of their entire bodies. This process involves refining organs, strengthening muscles and bones, and replacing blood. The ultimate goal is to become an Ancient Saint.
The more powerful the flame beast, the better the effect on the practitioner.
Upon reaching the highest realm, one could stand shoulder to shoulder with the kings among flame beasts.
Ancient Beast: Flame -Blood Rampage Dragon.
This powerful creature dwelled underground, often accompanied by molten lava. Within the body of the Flame-Blood Rampage Dragon flowed the “ancient bloodline.”
The so-called ancient bloodline was said to be the blood left behind by the few “ancient kings” who stood at the pinnacle of all living beings at the beginning of the world. These ancient kings were Otharos, the Sky King; Diuxis, the Forest King; Erlnis, the Ocean King; and Mobius, the Underground King.
These four ancient kings represented the elements of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, respectively, and each ruled over one of the four ancient kingdoms. It was said that they were all under the command of the supreme lord, the Holy Snake, obeying the will of the Holy Snake to create and maintain order in the world.
At that time, neither the Feathered People nor the crawlers existed. Only the various factions of ferocious beasts led by the ancient kings roamed the sky, forests, oceans, and even the underground.Hence, both the Ancient Saint Empire, the Wind God Empire, and the Mosasaurus Empire feared the ancient bloodline.
Later on, the powerful ancient empires seemed to collapse overnight, and the four ancient kings fell one after another.
The flesh of the ancient kings was consumed by surviving ferocious beasts, giving rise to the first Ancient Beasts. The crawler civilization likely emerged around the same time.
These were the legendary stories, of uncertain authenticity, that Levi learned from the old man Kane during this period.
Levi vaguely felt that everything—whether the “ancient kings,” the “Initial Ancient Saint,” or the “Ancient Saint Technique”—was somehow related to the ancient wizard who entered this realm.
"Who was it? Who entered here, and what was the purpose behind all of this?”
Levi pondered as he looked at the drawings depicting the Ancient Saint Technique.
Levi gazed at the flame beast meat sent by Monka’s men.
It was a seemingly ordinary large piece of meat, weighing about a hundred kilograms. It was exceptionally robust, and even after being dead for so long, it still emitted high temperatures. This should be the so-called “flame-blood energy.”
Levi took a bit of blood from it and placed it into the Rowling Crystal.
[Crimson Fire Snake Bloodline 56%, Stone Red Lizard Bloodline 68%… Gloomy Lamp Dragon Bloodline 1.5%.]
Seeing this, Levi’s expression changed.
"Gloomy Lamp Dragon?”
There was no information about this dragon clan in his database.
"If there’s a chance in the future, I need to find out what kind of dragon clan the Gloomy Lamp Dragon is.”
In this world, Levi had already found the bloodline descendants of two dragon clans: the Jade Dragon and the Gloomy Lamp Dragon.
During this period, Levi researched the supreme Holy Snake revered by the crawler civilization.
Based on the records and descriptions left by the Holy Snake, it was depicted as a snake with its head and tail connected, coiled in the sky, constantly rotating, emitting a holy light that dispelled darkness, illuminating the believers, much like the sun.
In this regard, there were similarities between the Holy Snake and Levi’s family emblem, the Black Snake.
However, the most prominent feature, the “holding a candle” aspect, was not seen by Levi. So, he couldn’t be certain that the Holy Snake was the Black Snake.
Now, within the ferocious beasts containing ancient bloodlines, he discovered the bloodline of the Gloomy Lamp Dragon.
According to legend, the ancient bloodline was the bloodline of the four kings under the Holy Snake.
"Gloomy Lamp Dragon, could it be the Black Snake holding a candle? Is the Black Snake perhaps a high-ranking officer under the Holy Snake? Or is it a disguise of the Holy Snake….”
