The Grey Rat's Demon Path

Chapter 208: Chapter 184: Unstoppable, Bloodline Advancement (Part 3)

The Elixir entered his stomach, transforming into warm currents of energy.

The numbers on the panel were constantly changing!

After a long time, all the resources had been swept clean, completely devoured.

’Bloodline Advancement, begin now!’

Following his previous method, Xu Chang’an placed a Celestial Thunder Stone on his abdomen.

Then, he drew out the Power of Thunder from within the Celestial Thunder Stone to slowly stimulate his Bloodline.

’Not enough! More!’

Another Celestial Thunder Stone was placed on his abdomen.

The Power of Thunder coursed through Xu Chang’an’s body, bringing a numbing sensation wherever it went.

By the time all the Celestial Thunder Stones were used up, Xu Chang’an’s body felt slightly numb, with a faint, itchy pain.

’Celestial Thunder Stone Essence!’

Celestial Thunder Stone Essence was the concentrated精华 of Celestial Thunder Stones. Unlike the stones themselves, its essence could be directly consumed to stimulate the Bloodline.

The Ore was hard, and normally a special method was required to draw out its power.

However, Xu Chang’an had no such worries.

Without the slightest hesitation, he swallowed it in one gulp.

It was like swallowing razor blades—numbing and painful all at once.

Waves of numbing pain coursed continuously through his body.

Even with Xu Chang’an’s current Demon Body and Spirit, it was excruciatingly painful.

CRACKLE! POP! CRACKLE! POP!

Arcs of electricity faintly appeared on the surface of Xu Chang’an’s body.

As the arcs of electricity flickered and persisted, Xu Chang’an’s incredibly tough fur actually began to show signs of scorching black.

CRACKLE! POP!

The originally purple stripes on Xu Chang’an’s body gradually filled with electric light.

On his back, the purple markings on the fine Dragon Bone Scales were, bit by bit, covered and flooded with the electric light.

The complex patterns and flashing electricity seemed to form a vivid tableau.

On his claws, fur, teeth...

The change was in every detail!

The transformation was still ongoing!

Time passed, bit by bit.

One hour, two hours!

Xu Chang’an silently endured the changes in his body.

After a full day, the electric light on the surface of his body finally began to recede slowly.

Then, after another two hours, it vanished completely.

Name: Xu Chang’an

Bloodline: Purple-striped Thunder Rat (Upper-class Bloodline)

Lifespan: 972 years

Realm: Early-stage Core Formation (Golden Core)

Skills: Alchemy (Tier Two High Grade)

Energy: (8969/50000)

...

Xu Chang’an slowly opened his eyes and looked at the data on the panel.

’A lifespan extension of one hundred and twenty years!’

The Bloodline Advancement had brought Xu Chang’an’s maximum lifespan to nearly a thousand years.

Compared to what he had before, this lifespan was like the difference between heaven and earth.

’A thousand-year lifespan!’

A joyful expression appeared on Xu Chang’an’s face.

Xu Chang’an enveloped his body with his Demon Sense and immediately understood his current condition.

His body was covered in purple stripes, within which faint arcs of electricity still flickered.

His claws were sharp, his teeth were hard, and his Dragon Bone Scales were densely packed!

A single glance was enough to inspire terror!

What a fierce and terrifying Purple-striped Thunder Rat!

’My Demon Body and Spirit are comparable to a Magical Treasure! My claws and teeth far surpass ordinary Lower-Grade Magical Treasures; a rough estimate would put them close to Middle-Grade Magical Treasures!’

Xu Chang’an slowly sensed his own condition.

’Furthermore, if I unleash my Flesh and Blood Power with my full strength, the purple stripes on my body can be activated.

If activated successfully, my speed will increase by half!

Moreover, the thunder contained within them can be triggered and unleashed as an attack!

The might of that thunder was so great that even my previous Demon Body and Spirit found it excruciatingly painful.

If an ordinary Demon King were struck by such a thunder attack off-guard, they would probably be severely wounded!

Combined with the speed boost from the purple stripes, it’s simply terrifying!’

’Does this count as a different kind of Talent Divine Technique?’

Xu Chang’an was in high spirits.

Activating the purple stripes for a speed boost or unleashing thunderbolts as an attack—both were somewhat similar to the concept of Talent Divine Techniques.

However, Talent Divine Techniques were mostly inherent to one’s Bloodline, something one was born with.

This one of his was cultivated through a post-natal Bloodline Advancement!

’Did these two Divine Techniques appear simply because I consumed a Spiritual Item to improve my Bloodline, leading to an advancement? Or was it with the help of the panel’s conversion?!’

Xu Chang’an lowered his head in thought.

’If it’s the former, then the possibility of Talent Divine Techniques appearing in the modern Demon Race should be far greater than what is currently seen. And if some major powers possessed this secret knowledge, they could churn out a whole batch of Demons with Talent Divine Techniques.

But if it’s the latter... what role exactly does the panel play in all of this?!’

The more he thought, the deeper he went, as if he had run into a dead end.

After a moment, Xu Chang’an couldn’t help but break into a smile.

’Why am I thinking so much! Even if I figured it out, so what!?

This isn’t a domain I can even begin to touch right now!’

’My Demon Body and Spirit, comparable to a Magical Treasure, combined with the thunder and purple stripes, plus the profound foundation from forming my Golden Core... if before I was only close to the combat power of a top-tier Demon King, then now I have truly stepped into that domain.

And, by my preliminary estimates from my past life, my strength should rank in the upper-middle tier even among top-tier Demon Kings!’

Only those in the Late-stage Core Formation could be called top-tier Demon Kings.

For Xu Chang’an to possess the combat power of a top-tier Demon King with only an Early-stage Core Formation Cultivation showed just how profound his foundation was.

"Hm!?"

Just as he was lost in thought, Xu Chang’an’s expression flickered.

From outside the cave, the faint sound of voices could be heard.
