Promptly, the system notifications chimed successively.
Concurrently, the Dragon Blood General behind him perished.
Throughout, Loong Chen steadfastly refrained from turning around.
He solely proceeded, bearing Loong Ming into the palace.
The palace was relatively modest in size, adorned with numerous pillars intricately carved with lifelike dragons.
Nestled within the innermost sanctum of the palace stood a black stone dragon statue.
Despite knowing it to be inert, Loong Chen couldn't shake off a sense of dread.
He dared not meet its gaze directly.
“I've reached the Dragon Palace. Does that signify the completion of the trial?”
Loong Chen's voice echoed into the vastness. Presently, the ethereal voice resounded once more.
“Congratulations, young man. You've become the sole individual to pass the Dragon God's trial in tens of millennia. Furthermore, you shall inherit the legacy of the Dragon God.”
This time, Loong Chen discerned the voice's origin. Hastily, he turned his gaze towards it, taken aback.
The voice emanated from the statue. Though the statue remained motionless, its eyes gleamed.
Sensing Loong Chen's gaze, the twin orbs of light emerged from the statue, manifesting into the phantom form of a divine dragon.
“You really are a dragon!”
Loong Chen widened his eyes. Whether dragons truly existed in this world remained a mystery.
Despite numerous assertions of their existence, concrete evidence eluded many.
Loong Chen shared this skepticism. Even after encountering Black, his belief remained tentative.
Ultimately, Black was merely a python variant.
However, witnessing a dragon firsthand left him no room for doubt.
“Young man, don't be astonished. The Dragon Clan once thrived in antiquity. Following the catastrophic events a million years past, the Dragon Clan vanished entirely from this realm. Only remnants remain, hybrids bearing diluted dragon blood.”
The apparition of the divine dragon appeared to perceive Loong Chen's inner doubts and offered an explanation.
“As a fractured dragon spirit, I linger on my final breath, guarding the sanctity of the Dragon God's trial ground. Thankfully, you've emerged and overcome the trial. You shall inherit the Dragon God's legacy.”
“I care not for inheritance. My concern lies in saving him.”
Loong Chen gestured towards Loong Ming, whose life hung by a thread.
Once his lifeforce ebbed away, all hope of rescue would vanish.
Acquisition of inheritance would hold no significance should Loong Ming perish.
“If my presumption is correct, he's fallen victim to the virus, hasn't he?”
The dragon spirit directed its gaze towards Loong Ming as Loong Chen nodded hastily.
“The virus has infiltrated his body. There's only one remedy—to change his blood.”
With those words, the dragon soul extended a claw and directed it toward the center of the palace.
Initially, there existed a cavity there; however, upon the dragon soul's gesture, a crimson fluid promptly surged forth.
The liquid swiftly filled the cavity, forming a pool of blood. contemporary romance
“That's the dragon blood pool. Once you immerse him in it, the dragon blood will automatically infuse into his veins, supplanting his original blood and altering his constitution. This process will grant him the Dragon God's lineage.”
Upon hearing the dragon soul's explanation, Loong Chen was instantly filled with joy. He hurriedly lowered Loong Ming into the pool of blood.
The dragon blood tinted Loong Ming's skin and permeated his body. Witnessing this, Loong Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A recollection struck him suddenly; during a conversation with his aunt about his father, she had mentioned that Loong Ming adopted the moniker “Invincible Dragon God” after obtaining the Dragon God's lineage from a ruin.
It was this lineage that propelled his strength to unprecedented heights, propelling him to become one of the preeminent warriors at the advent of the apocalypse.
“Could this be the ruin my aunt spoke of? But Father underwent the blood exchange here because of me.”
“Could it be that my arrival in this era was preordained?”
Loong Chen pondered. If it were solely Loong Ming, he wouldn't have been able to endure the trial and acquire the Dragon God's lineage.
Then why did it happen in history? Could it be that Loong Chen's emergence was orchestrated by fate?
In essence, upon transmigrating to the apocalypse's twilight, Loong Chen didn't alter history; rather, he followed its course.
“Is history immutable?”
Loong Chen's fists clenched suddenly. If that were the case, then altering history to save Dugu Lengyue would be futile.
While pondering this, the dragon soul suddenly drifted to Loong Chen's side and spoke slowly.
“Young man, you should also enter the Dragon Blood Pool. Your bloodline has reached the King Level. By absorbing the dragon blood, your lineage can ascend to the Emperor Level.”
“I'll pass.”
Loong Chen shook his head. The dragon soul hurriedly added,
“You need not worry. This individual is merely an ordinary person. He can only assimilate half of the dragon blood. You can absorb the remaining half yourself.”
Upon hearing this assurance from the dragon soul, Loong Chen's eyes immediately sparkled.
His interest in the dragon blood was undeniable.
Initially concerned about potentially delaying Loong Ming's blood transformation, Loong Chen's worries dissipated upon the dragon soul's explanation.
With this in mind, Loong Chen leaped into the blood pool, initiating the circulation of the Blood Devouring Devil Arts.
In an instant, the surrounding dragon blood transmuted into pure Bloodline Power, coursing into Loong Chen's veins.
After absorbing half of the dragon blood from the pool for over ten minutes, Loong Chen finally reopened his eyes.
“An Emperor Level bloodline?”
The Bloodline Power within him had multiplied manyfold.
Crucially, his bloodline now bore the essence of the dragon.
Should he encounter any low-grade mutated beasts, the dragon's aura he exuded would be sufficient to intimidate them into submission.
Suddenly, a sensation gripped Loong Chen, prompting him to examine the palm of his right hand.
Initially, a Titan Mark bearing the essence of Titan's Power had resided there.
However, now, the Titan Mark had vanished, supplanted by the insignia of the Dragon God.
“Could it be that I've inherited the power of the Dragon God?”
Loong Chen was taken aback. Hastily, he activated the Dragon God's seal akin to when he accessed the Titan Mark.
In the ensuing moment, he realized that his entire form was enveloped in a layer of blood-red scale armor. His hands had transformed into draconic claws.
Additionally, a tail had emerged from his posterior.
Though unable to behold his own visage, Loong Chen surmised that he now resembled the Dragon Blood General he encountered earlier.
“Is this the Dragonform?”
