Chapter 1349: Inheritance legacy
The headless dragon body fell to the ground.
The black dragon coldly watched this as the grey aura around his body suddenly began to move.
Black fog began to scatter from his body, appearing almost sentient as they enveloped both the dragon’s head and body.
While this dragon utilized its [Red Dragon Shadow Hex – Twist], Gu Qing Shan was similarly using his own technique.
—–Demon Dragon Bloodline.
The Demon Dragon Bloodline was an ability that even the Bygone Humans were afraid of, capable of corroding any living being and turning them into a bloodkin without them knowing, then converting their everything into its own power.
When this dragon was struck with the first two [Snowdrift] hits, it succumbed to the influence of the Demon Dragon Bloodline and felt intense pain all over its body when it tried to flee, which ended up losing its last chance to escape.
The viscous, almost sentient black fog quickly devoured the entirety of the dragon’s body and head.
“Come”
The black dragon grumbled.
Right now, even if his identity was exposed, he still had to absorb this bloodkin’s power.
—-this was the complete power of a dragon, capable of helping him quickly become stronger!
The swirling black fog returned to the sky, then was absorbed into the black dragon’s body.
? Argh... ?
The black dragon uttered a curt grunt of pain.
Although he had absorbed the power of three dragons, the power contained within a dragon was still enormous, causing the black dragon intense suffering whenever he did it.
The overflowing and excessive Magic Scale Dragon’s power struck directly at his Thought Sea, his soul, his body, causing pain like being mutilated by a thousand blades.
Line of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:
[You’ve killed a Demon Dragon bloodkin]
[That Demon Dragon bloodkin’s power had been fully absorbed by you as the Demon Dragon]
[You’ve killed a mythical creature: the Magic Scale Dragon]
[Even with the power of three dragons, your usage of the dragon’s race power was still too shallow. It had a not inconsiderable chance to triumph against you and kill you]
[This combat has been judged to be one between equal forces, and you will be rewarded the corresponding Soul Points]
[Soul Points calculating...]
Gu Qing Shan suddenly sensed something.
“Crow, find somewhere to hide and wait for me” he whispered.
“Alright, I didn’t think you had the ability to turn into a dragon, what a stylish fiend you are” Crow excitedly said, then vanished without a trace.
A cloud of white fog then manifested around the black dragon’s body, enveloping it before it left the battlefield.
The ocean.
Above the clear-blue ocean, white fog spread.
Very quickly a black dragon appeared from the white fog.
The black dragon uttered a pained roar, then twisted its body and turned into an orange cat.
——-[Orange Sovereign Transformation]!
Unlike when he first absorbed the Demon Dragon, the [Orange Mountain] Thaumaturgy had undergone mutation when Gu Qing Shan reached the Sumeru Lord cultivation realm.
After transforming into the Orange Sovereign, other than [Ghostly Shadow of Night], Gu Qing Shan had another ability:
[Power Absorption]
[You will no longer passively absorb origin power of the soul from the void of space, but through eating and devouring, the origin power of the soul you can absorb will double]
The orange cat waved his hand to summon an iceberg on top of the ocean before lying on it.
Sensing the changes in his body, the orange cat felt calm.
Sure enough, the Orange Sovereign form was specialized to absorb power in all forms, the sensation of being mutilated by a thousand blades is now completely gone.
That’s better.
The orange cat lazily laid on top of the iceberg to bathe in the sun, relaxedly closing his eyes.
Suddenly, a line of glowing text appeared in the void of space:
[After transforming into the Orange Sovereign, the Soul Points you absorb will double]
[Furthermore, you’re using the Demon Dragon Bloodline power to devour the power of a mythical creature: the Magic Scale Dragon]
[The Orange Sovereign has an extreme level of power absorption; your absorbing process had sped up]
Gu Qing Shan felt even better.
It doesn’t hurt, I’m gaining twice as many Soul Points, and the absorption speed has also increased.
[Orange Sovereign Transformation] is such a useful ability!
Lines of glowing text continue to appear in the void of space:
[Special reminder: Besides the portion being converted into Soul Points, the Magic Scale Dragon currently has several unique abilities remaining]
[You have two choices]
[Firstly, you may choose one of these unique abilities to turn into your Thaumaturgy]
[Secondly, you may use the Demon Dragon power to fully consume them all and change your Demon Dragon Bloodline ability]
[Attention!]
[The Demon Dragon was the greatest Soul Artifact created by the Bygone Era humans, if you choose to consume it, you will lose the Demon Dragon’s bloodline ability and change it into a new unknown ability]
[Please make your choice]
Without hesitation, Gu Qing Shan chose the first option.
The Demon Dragon Bloodline ability wasn’t only undetectable, undefendable, but it could also abruptly come into effect in the middle of combat.
After an enemy is killed, I can even devour their power as my own, which is a terrifying ability in every meaning of the word.
I won’t give up such an ability.
[You’ve chosen to gain a Thaumaturgy]
[Attention please, only the following abilities have appeared during this absorption for you to choose:]
[First—–]
The notification suddenly became stuck, the follow-up glowing text stopped appearing.
The orange cat stopped waving his tail, feeling anxious.
What happened?
Did it get blue-screened?
All of a sudden, all the previous lines of glowing text disappeared as the War God UI spoke up:
[You’ve obtained the inheritance of the Thousand Dragons Ancestor, the heir it had chosen]
[Due to your existence, the Magic Scale Dragon’s abilities are awakening]
[You may choose one of the following inheritances from the dragon ancestor as your new ability]
[Firstly, Magic Scale Armor]
[Description: Whenever you take dragon form, you will grow a layer of Demon Dragon Scales that is immune to all elemental attacks, as well as unaffected by curses, poisons, and diseases]
[This old man has a body of steel, come and get me!]
[Secondly, Dragon Beating]
[Description: Whenever you take dragon form, your strength will become 5-fold, 10-fold, 15-fold, and 20-fold for the next four consecutive attacks, but you will become weakened for one second after]
[I’m going to beat you to death!]
[Thirdly, Red Dragon Origin Hex – Twist]
[Description: Whenever another person calls your name (or any designations specifying you), if you answer them, their next attack will hit themselves]
[Guess who I am!]
[Fourthly, Dragon King Shield]
[Description: Whenever you turn into a non-dragon creature, a Law-manifested shield will hide around your body, ensuring that you will not be immediately killed in the events of an ambush]
[Being undefeatable... is lonely]
Gu Qing Shan quickly skimmed through everything.
All of these abilities were ridiculously powerful, especially in this age of approaching Apocalypse, they were nothing short of being given a piece of coal to warm oneself in a snowy night.
[Dragon Beating] was the first to be dismissed, the one-second period of being weakened was something that Gu Qing Shan could not accept.
[Magic Scale Armor] was limited to only his dragon form, while [Dragon King Shield] was generally only usable in his human form, so both of them had shortcomings.
The true deviousness lied in [Red Dragon Origin Hex – Twist].
Carefully reading the description of this ability, Gu Qing Shan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
—–both the [Azure Dragon Origin Hex – Binding] and [Red Dragon Origin Hex – Twist], in fact, all of the dragon race’s Hex abilities are...
Unimaginable.
No wonder the Thousand Dragons Ancestor felt that I was misusing the ability when he saw me.
All they need to do is call out a name to kill an enemy where they stand.
On the other hand, if someone called out their name, the calling person would face the consequences!
The fact that I carry with Demon Dragon Bloodline power probably couldn’t fool the Thousand Dragons Ancestor either.
Gu Qing Shan slowly realized something.
...It seems the Thousand Dragons Ancestor is hoping that I would inherit his legacy.
“I choose [Red Dragon Origin Hex – Twist]” Gu Qing Shan replied.
[Are you sure?] the War God UI asked.
“Very sure”
The War God UI continued: [Currently absorbing the corresponding unique abilities and converting it into your Thaumaturgy]
[Please wait for five minutes]
[Also, you’ve finished absorbing the Magic Scale Dragon’s origin power of the soul and doubled it under the Orange Sovereign state]
[You received 2 million Soul Points]
The orange cat narrowed his eyes, feeling relaxed.
I only need to wait for the Thaumaturgy to complete itself, let’s pick Crow up and quickly return for now.
After all, it’s already been quite a bit of time since we left...
The orange cat turned back into Gu Qing Shan and quickly walked into the white fog.
He returned to Weitz city to pick Crow up, then both returned to the Roland empire.
...
The royal palace
The changing room.
The two of them appeared from the fog.
Everything was as normal.
Knock knock knock!
The sound of knocking could be heard.
“Count Rhode sir, have you finished changing clothes?” a maid called out.
Crow hurriedly replied: “Almost! Almost!”
The female voice outside suddenly raised: “Oh no, he hasn’t left after so long, could something have happened to the Count? Quickly open the door!”
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan and Crow both hurriedly doffed their armors.
Crow instantly hid their armors away.
A second later.
Bam!
The door was forced open.
The girl from before came in with her six maids, watching the two of them.
“Count Rhode sir, you look like you’ve been through quite some intense activities” she said with an unsmiling smile.
Gu Qing Shan looked down at himself.
After taking off his armor, his official garb had already been thoroughly ripped apart, leaving only crucial parts concealed.
——-after such an intense battle earlier, even turning into a dragon, how could a suit meant for ceremonial and official occasions survive?
Gu Qing Shan used his hand to block his exposed parts, then calmly replied: “The official wear was exactly my size, but the material leaves a bit to be desired for, please give me a different one”
