Jiang Chen inspected the Dragon-locking Realm and was extremely satisfied with its current state.
Even the Golden-haired Zombie King, the other Zombies, the Black King Rat, and the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf were all excitedly running wild across the realm.
Like birds soaring through the sky.
The massive space here afforded them immense freedom.
Before, the Dragon-locking Realm was a space of only ten kilometers. Now, it seemed practically infinite.
Even with its Martial Arts Cultivation, the Golden-haired Zombie King flew for a long time without seeing any sign of a boundary. It almost got lost and had no choice but to turn back.
Jiang Chen composed himself, a pleasant surprise washing over him.
"Xiaotian, let’s find the inheritance the Blood Dragon left for you."
After looking around, Jiang Chen felt there wasn’t much else to see.
The realm had a sky, land, and mountains, but no water or trees.
’The rest is easy. Once I find some Life Spring Water, this place will be habitable for ordinary people.’
’As for Primordial Veins... the Divine Origin Vein the Blood Dragon mentioned is completely unattainable for now.’
A single supreme-grade Divine Origin Vein was enough to supply an entire world with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
Jiang Chen had only ever heard of such a Divine Origin Vein. Apparently, they could be found in the Great Ruins, a place beyond the Nine Desolates.
He couldn’t dwell on these things for now.
Without further delay, he took Xiaotian and sped toward the location of the Blood Dragon’s inheritance.
Jiang Chen was the master of this world. The very space around him shifted to his will.
With a single thought, he could even make the Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain fly into the sky.
"This is the place."
Jiang Chen said to the Celestial Brown Ridge Python, pointing to a patch of earth.
The Celestial Brown Ridge Python was clearly filled with anticipation.
The Blood Dragon’s inheritance would be anything but ordinary.
After all, the Blood Dragon was a terrifying existence that surpassed even Divine Emperors. Even Jiang Chen was filled with anticipation for its inheritance.
But since the Blood Dragon had left the inheritance for the Celestial Brown Ridge Python, he certainly wouldn’t try to take it for himself.
"Open!"
As the master of this realm, Jiang Chen had only to speak a single word. Before his eyes, the earth suddenly split open.
Endless darkness poured out from the fissure.
The Celestial Brown Ridge Python was stunned. It stared at Jiang Chen in disbelief. A fissure had appeared in the ground just because he had spoken a single word. ’What kind of terrifying power is this?’
’But this clearly isn’t Jiang Chen’s true power.’
"Master, how did you do that?"
"I control the Dragon-locking Realm," Jiang Chen said calmly. "Everything here moves according to my will."
"Forget splitting the earth—I could turn heaven and earth upside down with a single thought."
’He liked this feeling of being in complete control.’
Then, Jiang Chen and Xiaotian floated directly into the fissure.
Although the fissure was pitch black, Jiang Chen simply waved his hand, and numerous Luminous Pearls appeared, illuminating the dark space.
The man and the snake landed in a vast, open chamber.
The chamber was filled with a powerful draconic aura that lingered in the air.
Xiaotian trembled slightly, still terrified of the Blood Dragon’s oppressive might.
Jiang Chen, however, was much calmer.
He glanced around. There was nothing in the chamber.
Save for a single statue. It depicted a blood-red dragon, roughly forty to fifty meters long, coiled around a stone pillar.
It was the Blood Dragon, and it seemed to be looking down upon Jiang Chen and the Celestial Brown Ridge Python.
It was so lifelike it seemed to be alive.
Upon seeing the Blood Dragon, the Celestial Brown Ridge Python immediately prostrated itself. "Senior, I have come," it said, its head to the ground.
It didn’t know what the Blood Dragon’s inheritance truly entailed.
The next moment, the stone Blood Dragon suddenly erupted with a crimson light.
The crimson light was blinding. It flooded the dark chamber, overpowering the glow of the Luminous Pearls.
At the same time, the red light directly enveloped the Celestial Brown Ridge Python.
The Celestial Brown Ridge Python began to tremble.
However, it endured the sensation and remained prostrate on the ground, unmoving.
Jiang Chen watched it all unfold.
’He knew the Celestial Brown Ridge Python was receiving the Blood Dragon’s inheritance.’
’It seems Xiaotian’s destiny is profound. If it successfully receives the Blood Dragon’s inheritance, it could very well reach the Blood Dragon’s level one day.’
’Looks like this life of mine will be even more exciting.’
He had now witnessed an existence that surpassed a Divine Emperor.
He had seen one in his previous life, as well. The first time he’d encountered a being beyond a Divine Emperor was the Divine Beast Vermilion Bird.
Back then, the Vermilion Bird had flown over his head, allowing him to comprehend the Vermilion Bird Seal technique.
And in this life, he had encountered the terrifying Blood Dragon.
Within the crimson light, Xiaotian’s body trembled.
At the same time, a terrifying will forcibly penetrated its sea of consciousness.
’Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon.’
In the next moment, Xiaotian realized that the will had transformed into a powerful Divine Technique.
Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon.
The Blood Dragon had created this Divine Technique when it was still alive.
When used by anyone possessing a Dragon Race bloodline, the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon was terrifyingly powerful.
The first of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon could unleash double the power of an ordinary Martial Cultivator of the same level.
And the ninth transformation unleashed power a full nine times greater than that of a Martial Cultivator of the same level.
Only those with a Dragon Race bloodline could use such a heaven-defying Divine Technique.
Xiaotian was stunned.
Its mind was reeling.
This was an incredible stroke of fortune.
It greedily absorbed the knowledge of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon, its comprehension growing by the second.
Meanwhile, under the shroud of crimson light...
"ROAR..."
The Celestial Brown Ridge Python suddenly let out a hoarse roar.
Its body felt incredibly hot, as if it were being baked by the sun.
After just a few moments, Xiaotian found the heat unbearable.
It roared again and again.
Inside its body, its blood began to boil and burn.
"Master, it hurts so much..."
"My body is being torn apart."
Xiaotian let out a series of wretched cries.
It truly couldn’t bear it any longer.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly. The Blood Dragon’s inheritance should have been nothing but beneficial for Xiaotian.
’This anomaly must be because the inheritance is too powerful for Xiaotian to assimilate so quickly.’
He offered encouragement. "Xiaotian, hang in there! You have to hold on!"
"Only by overcoming this hardship will you grow stronger."
He tried to comfort Xiaotian, regardless of whether the snake could even hear him.
Xiaotian was now writhing on the ground, clearly in extreme agony.
Its very blood was boiling and burning away, gradually disappearing.
Having lost its blood, Xiaotian had completely forgotten about the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon, its mind consumed by unbearable pain.
Jiang Chen watched from a distance, completely unable to help. He couldn’t interfere with Xiaotian receiving the inheritance.
Then, after an unknown amount of time...
"ROAR..."
Xiaotian let out a final, hoarse roar.
Then, its body convulsed violently, twisting for a moment.
The next moment, it suddenly fell silent and lay motionless on the ground.
"Hmm?"
’Did Xiaotian pass out?’
Jiang Chen saw that Xiaotian was unconscious. It seemed the pain had been so great that it had passed out.
The sight was difficult for him to bear.
Still, he knew the Blood Dragon wouldn’t harm Xiaotian.
After all, Jiang Chen could sense that the Blood Dragon was not malicious.
