Panlong: Taotie bloodline, unlimited power growth!

Liuyun City.

The Bartley family castle.

The room was dark and secluded.

The air was filled with a faint smell of blood, but it wasn't unpleasant; instead, it had a strange, exotic fragrance.

That's the unique smell of the pure energy contained in the blood of a high-level divine beast when it evaporates.

Raven's hand was on the head of the creature called "Hurricane Falcon".

It feels cold to the touch and is as hard as iron.

This wind-type mythical beast, known for its extreme speed, has been dead for some time.

But the lingering air currents between its feathers still cut at Raven's palm like countless tiny wind blades.

Sparks flew everywhere.

The clanging sounds were particularly jarring in the quiet, enclosed room.

Raven remained expressionless.

This level of defense and counterattack was nothing more than a tickle to his physical body, which was comparable to a divine artifact.

"swallow."

A low syllable rolled out from deep in his throat.

boom!

The illusory Taotie that had been lurking behind him suddenly opened its tightly closed beast eyes.

Black hole.

Those were two bottomless black holes, large enough to swallow even light.

There is no chewing process.

There was no sound of flesh tearing apart.

The hurricane-like falcon, which was tens of meters long, was erased like a pencil drawing being erased the moment it came into contact with the gluttonous phantom's gaping maw.

The space itself underwent a strange distortion.

The enormous corpse vanished into thin air.

Followed by.

A stream of extremely cool air, following some mysterious trajectory, rushed directly into Raven's ocean of souls.

It is different from the heaviness of the earth element, the irritability of the fire element, and the flexibility of the water element.

Light and agile.

elegant.

Unrestrained and free.

It even carries a hint of sharpness that could tear everything apart.

Raven slowly closed his eyes.

In his perceived world.

In the ocean of elements that was originally composed of various colors, a touch of cyan suddenly appeared.

Those were countless joyful, leaping points of light.

They have always existed between heaven and earth, in every corner of this secret room.

The old Raven was like a blind man, completely unaware even when things bumped into his face.

But now.

He saw it.

The cyan light spots seemed to sense the presence of their kind, rushing towards Raven and circling affectionately around him.

"Wind element affinity..."

Raven suddenly opened his eyes.

There were no clichéd special effects like bursts of light, only a sense of natural tranquility.

It became.

That's the domineering nature of the Taotie bloodline.

You are what you eat.

This Hurricane Falcon was not only a wind-type divine beast in its lifetime, but also a darling of the wind-type laws.

Within its flesh and soul are imprinted fragments of the most primordial wind-elemental laws.

Inside the Taotie's stomach, which was capable of refining chaos.

These fragments were forcibly stripped, crushed, and reassembled, eventually being embedded deep into Raven's soul.

"The Tenth Department".

Raven raised his right hand and lightly drew a line in the air with his fingers.

laugh.

A cyan wind blade appeared out of thin air, instantly slicing through the spatial barrier of the secret chamber, which had been reinforced by divine power, leaving a pitch-black spatial rift.

No divine power was used.

It's purely due to the control over the wind element.

This is talent.

"Earth, fire, water, wind, thunder, light, darkness."

"Destruction, life, destiny."

Raven counted on his fingers, taking stock of the talents and trump cards he currently possessed.

The Seven Elements Law.

Three supreme rules.

If this gets out...

Those high and mighty gods would probably be terrified.

after all.

In this world of Panlong, dual-system...

Three-element talent systems are quite common.

However, those with four or five elemental cultivation talents are extremely rare.

Those with sixth or seventh elemental cultivation talents are legendary figures.

And Raven?

Ten-element cultivation talent.

This terrifying talent for cultivation is practically a huge bug.

"Only one more left."

Raven's gaze was somewhat profound.

The rules of death.

Of the four supreme rules, this is the most mysterious and elusive.

Among the hundreds of divine beast corpses he devoured in the past two weeks, there were not only undead dark creatures, but also several high-level bone dragons and ghost lords.

But oddly enough.

Devouring them only enhanced Raven's understanding of the dark laws and the strength of his soul.

The door to the rules of death remains tightly shut.

"It seems that ordinary undead creatures won't work."

"We need to find special life forms that are truly born from the rules of death, or that have an extremely high level of mastery over the rules of death."

Underworld.

That supreme plane filled with bones and the dead.

The thought flashed through Raven's mind, but he quickly suppressed it.

Not urgent.

Eat your food one bite at a time.

The current gains are enough to digest for a while.

Now that the wind-type talent has been unlocked, the next step is simply to accumulate resources.

For Raven right now, the least valuable thing is resources.

……

The seasons on the Magnolia Continent have cycled ten times.

Ten years.

For ordinary people, this is one-eighth of life.

For a Saint-level expert, this was a slightly longer period of seclusion.

For someone of Raven's caliber, it was just a matter of taking a nap.

The hill behind the Bartley family's castle.

The hill behind the Bartley family's castle.

This area has long been designated as an absolute restricted zone.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, a layer of colorful mist visible to the naked eye is shrouded year-round.

That was a natural phenomenon formed when divine power became so concentrated that it liquefied.

Any being below the Holy Realm will explode and die if it gets too close to this area, unable to withstand the violent energy pressure in the air.

"That is..."

Sudden.

A patrolling guard looked up at the sky with some fear.

A streak of blue light rushed straight into the back mountain of the family with terrifying speed.

"Smack."

next moment.

The guard's head was slapped hard.

"Don't look around."

"Do your job well."

The middle-aged man next to him spoke to his companion with a serious expression.

He is considered one of the elders of the Bartley family.

He had been working for the Bartley family since Doug became a viscount.

Although he didn't have much talent in cultivation.

But Doug saw his loyalty and, with the resources Raven provided, nurtured him to the Saint Realm.

It is precisely because of this.

He successfully joined the Bartley family's guard.

That's right.

The Bartley family today is a far cry from what it once was.

Even in a material plane like the Magnolia Continent.

Only those at the Saint Realm level are qualified to work for the Bartley family.

And as an elder of the Bartley family.

The middle-aged man was well aware of the Bartley family's rich history.

he knows

The streak of light that entered the forbidden zone was from a super-powerful being from the divine plane.

He had heard Doug mention it once.

That super strong person from the divine plane was a subordinate of their young master Raven.

The purpose of their visit to the Magnolia Plane was to escort a batch of resources for their young master.

Over the course of these ten years.

This kind of thing happens all the time, so it's not surprising.

Only those who have just joined the Bartley family would startle and howl in such a terrified manner.
