Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 91 Ancestral Dragon Essence and Blood
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Looking at the Ancestral Dragon Pearl in front of him, Jiang Ye couldn't help but loosen his clenched hands and gasped heavily.

"Just a sound message can make me want to submit!"

Jiang Ye's eyes were full of shock and fear.

The Ancestral Dragon Ball just floated quietly in the air, emitting an ancient and mysterious aura, as if nothing had happened.

Looking at the Zulong Zhujiang Ye in front of him, he couldn't help but ponder.

According to the information given by the Ancestral Dragon Pearl just now, this Ancestral Dragon Pearl has a total of 48 restrictions. No one except those with pure dragon blood can unlock them, including Jiang Ye. However, in addition to the dragon skills that are sealed by the restrictions, it also contains three drops of Ancestral Dragon's blood.

Zulong: One of the first creatures in the prehistoric world, with an innate body of a god or demon, the leader of the three chaotic beasts, the spokesperson for attack, with powerful strength, and is one of the strongest people in the prehistoric world second only to the saints.

The Ancestral Dragon's essence and blood condenses part of the Ancestral Dragon's original power. Its preciousness cannot be described in words. Even if it is just a trace, it is enough to make most of the strong people in any world fight to the death and use any means necessary.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye's eyes flashed with determination, and then he touched the Ancestral Dragon Pearl in front of him again.

The moment Jiang Ye's fingertips touched the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, a warm force quickly spread along his palm to his whole body.

Then, he felt a flash of light before his eyes, and an irresistible force suddenly pulled his consciousness, instantly dragging him into the internal space of the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.

This place seems to be a world in the early stages of chaos, with endless darkness and fog intertwined so that one cannot see the end.

Only in the center of this chaos, three balls of liquid emitting dazzling golden light were slowly rotating. Every rotation seemed to drive the rhythm of this chaotic space.

The surging vitality was like a raging river bursting its banks and spreading outwards continuously. The powerful and heavy energy seemed to materialize, squeezing the surrounding space and causing it to distort and deform continuously.

Just by feeling a trace of energy emitted by this blood, Jiang Ye in the outside world felt that his whole body was filled with vitality!
Jiang Ye calmed himself and quickly approached the Ancestral Dragon's essence and blood.

When he was only inches away from the Ancestral Dragon's blood essence, the blood essence that had been rotating quietly suddenly shone brightly, and the dazzling golden light made it impossible to open one's eyes.

Then, in the light, three drops of blood essence turned into three majestic golden little dragons. Each dragon scale was shining with a cold metallic luster. They pounced towards Jiang Ye with their fangs and claws, spewing golden flames from their mouths. The flame was not pure fire, but contained endless destructive power, which was the unique ability of the dragon clan - dragon breath.

"Hiss! No way, this blood can attack!" Jiang Ye widened his eyes, his face full of fear and astonishment.

The three powerful golden dragons in front of him were made of blood, but this was the blood of the Ancestral Dragon whose strength was close to that of a saint. Even if it was just a drop, with Jiang Ye's current strength, he wouldn't even be qualified to fight back, let alone fight back.

Looking at the flames coming towards him, although Jiang Ye is only a conscious body now, the feeling of having his consciousness burned is not pleasant.

"Snapped!"

Just when Jiang Ye didn't know what to do, a mysterious golden light appeared without warning. This golden light seemed to transcend all rules and constraints in the world and carried a supreme majesty.

Under Jiang Ye's astonished gaze, the golden light instantly turned into a golden leather strip, on which strange runes flashed.

It was like a golden lightning, instantly striking towards the three golden little dragons transformed from essence and blood.

The golden little dragon seemed to be extremely afraid of this leather strip. Before it could struggle, it was instantly pulled back to its original form, transformed into three drops of blood, and once again quietly floated in the center of the chaotic space.

[Ding Dong, the system has eliminated the Ancestral Dragon's essence, blood, and spiritual wisdom!] "Hiss, system!"

Feeling the electronic sound of the system coming from his ears, Jiang Ye was surprised and quickly cast his eyes on the three drops of the dragon's blood. At this moment, they were floating quietly, no longer violent and aggressive as when they turned into golden dragons, as if the soul had been taken away from the body, leaving only pure and powerful energy fluctuations.

……

On the inheritance ladder

Jiang Ye looked at the golden blood in front of him that was several times larger than his own, and asked silently in his heart: "System, what do I need to do to absorb this ancestral dragon's blood?"

The emotionless electronic voice of the system sounded again: "Host, you only need to relax your mind and guide the power of essence and blood to merge into yourself. The system will assist you in completing the initial fusion process, but the subsequent refining and adaptation still need to rely on your own perseverance and luck."

Jiang Ye nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

He slowly stretched out his hands, placed his palms at the drop of blood essence, and carefully probed his consciousness into it.

As Jiang Ye moved, the essence and blood seemed to be attracted by something and began to tremble slowly. Strands of golden light extended towards Jiang Ye's palm like silk threads.

Jiang Ye only felt a hot and powerful force flowing into his body through his arm, instantly making his body become hot, as if he was in a raging fire.

"Ah! Ah..."

At this moment, a sharp pain suddenly swept through Jiang Ye's body like a surging tide. It was a pain that penetrated deep into his bones and seemed to tear his soul apart.

Every inch of his muscles seemed to be pierced by countless steel needles at the same time and were violently stirred. Under the impact of the domineering power of the Ancestral Dragon's essence and blood, the muscle fibers were constantly twisted, broken, and then difficultly reassembled.

This reorganization process was like rubbing the roughest sandpaper repeatedly on delicate skin, and the pain caused Jiang Ye's body to tremble violently and uncontrollably.

His bones also made a "creaking" sound under the ravages of this force, as if they were about to break under the pressure.

His consciousness gradually became blurred in this endless pain, and he felt as if he was in a sea of fire in purgatory, enveloped by endless torture.

Jiang Ye bit his lower lip tightly until it broke and bled. The bloody taste filled his mouth and mixed with sweat soaked his face. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails dug deep into his palms, and blood slowly seeped out from his skin, dripping onto the steps and disappearing in an instant.

I don't know how long it lasted.

……

The bloody figure lay quietly on the inheritance stairs, like a broken puppet waiting to be reshaped.

And that ball of blood didn't seem to stop moving because of his coma, it still slowly released strands of golden light, like nimble tentacles, spreading towards Jiang Ye's body.

At the same time, Jiang Ye's body began to undergo subtle but amazing changes.

The body, which had been shriveled due to the blood oozing out of the whole body, began to bulge slightly after the final fusion of essence and blood. A faint dragon shadow appeared on the surface of the skin, like an ancient totem, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.
