Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive

Chapter 478: Chapter 315: Primal Return, Ancient Dragon Form (2)

"Are you saying that Giant Dragons and another unknown type of Soul Beast together form the Ancient Dragon Race?" Han Ning was equally surprised.

Cang Tong shook his head. "They merged to become the Ancient Dragons."

"You’ve probably guessed by now what Soul Beast the ’Ancient’ part of the name refers to. It’s the Giant Beast race, masters of supreme, domineering power. Their ancestors were known as the Ancient Sacred Beasts. They dominated the land, and in the legends of many intelligent races, the Ancient Sacred Beasts are the creators of the earth. The great multitude of them formed the world’s continents."

"Such a powerful existence was just a part that split off from the Ancient Dragons?" Lin Tianhe’s eyes widened as he listened.

"That’s right. Legend has it that at the dawn of the world, there were 3,600 Ancient Dragons in existence. They were the creators of the sky, the land, and the seas. Later, perhaps because they feared the overwhelming power of the Ancient Dragon Race, the Divine Beings altered the rules of the world. They reduced the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the physical realm, making it difficult for the mighty Ancient Dragon Race to survive... To be precise, they could survive, but only by becoming as weak as other Soul Beasts."

"Some Ancient Dragons, dissatisfied with the Divine Beings’ actions, shattered the barriers of space and hid themselves away in the depths of Subspace forever. Other Ancient Dragons didn’t want to leave their homeland, so they devised a method... to separate their own bloodlines, splitting them in two to represent the sky and the earth respectively."

"Still other Ancient Dragons directly sealed their own power, simply allowing themselves to become weak and feeble."

"The sky bloodline is known as the Giant Dragons. They are born with powerful wings and can soar through the boundless heavens."

"The earth bloodline became the Ancient Sacred Beasts. They are connected to the land and possess an absolute power sufficient to shake the very stars."

"And the self-sealing Ancient Dragons degenerated over generations, becoming the Flood Dragon race, which generally lives in the oceans."

"What I find unbelievable is that this method of severing bloodlines was developed by many Ancient Dragons together. Theoretically, their descendants should find it nearly impossible to fuse the two bloodlines and give birth to an Ancient Dragon Bloodline. But the scene before my eyes completely overturns everything I thought I knew!"

"Even for the Flood Dragon race, which inherited its lineage directly from the Ancient Dragons, the probability of atavism is infinitesimally close to zero. Over the long river of time, they have gradually lost the power of their ancestors."

Cang Tong was a Dragon Type enthusiast, and even his voice trembled as he spoke.

"If you put it that way, it really is outrageous..." Hearing this, the faces of the several people from the academy turned strange.

’Wasn’t this equivalent to two reproductively isolated species producing an offspring?’

The Second Elder’s words, however, reminded Han Ning of the True Dragon he had encountered back on the Insect Continent.

’Thinking back now, that True Dragon must have been a pure Ancient Dragon. Its Divine Soul merely appearing on the Insect Continent had caused the surrounding space to fracture. That kind of world-destroying power... it had to be an Ancient Dragon.’

’Could part of the reason be that Egg Pancake received the True Dragon’s blessing, causing some kind of mutation in its bloodline? And then there’s the catalytic effect of the Abyss model...’ Han Ning mused internally.

"Second Elder, in that case, does Egg Pancake have a chance to become an Ancient Dragon with this evolution?" Lin Tianhe asked, his mouth agape and an "innocent" look on his face.

"How could that be possible? Absolutely impossible!" Cang Tong shook his head repeatedly. "The Ancient Dragons are beings of such immense power. Just by existing in the physical world, the force generated by their breathing alone is enough to shatter space and destroy the land. At most... at most, it has awakened a one-in-a-trillionth fraction of its Ancient Dragon Bloodline. It’s merely showing the initial signs of fusion, but even so, that’s astounding enough."

Shui Rui frowned, leaned closer to Han Ning, and warned in a low voice:

"It’s only breaking through from Lord to Monarch, and it’s already causing such a spectacular phenomenon. If it breaks through from Monarch to Emperor, I’m afraid it will attract the attention of other terrifying existences. Whether that’s a blessing or a curse, I really can’t say."

As the crowd was talking.

Egg Pancake, whose eyes had been shut tight this whole time, opened them at this very moment.

Its Body rapidly transitioned from a lava-like energy form into a physical one.

The flare-like glow of Energy faded, replaced by hard scales of a deep red that verged on black.

The radiant Energy disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Two beams of blood-red light shot toward the sky.

"ROAR!!!"

A vast and ancient dragon’s roar echoed across the expansive tundra.

The Energy Core floating above, as if summoned by Egg Pancake, transformed into a Flowing Light and returned to its chest.

As a dark red halo swiftly coursed over it, Egg Pancake’s true form was finally revealed to everyone.

Compared to its Energy Body state, its appearance had changed significantly.

Its originally dark yellow pupils had turned dark red, and they now flickered constantly with tiny, fragmented glints of red light.

Behind the six sharp horns on its head, a thick plate of bone had grown, encasing the back of Egg Pancake’s head and fitting seamlessly with its scales.

The bone plate was the same dark red as its scales, and it was covered in profound-looking Runes.

It wasn’t just the back of its head; Egg Pancake’s chest where the Energy Core resided, its limbs, and its tail were all covered to varying degrees in heavy Bone Armor.

Its body, hovering in the sky, reached a staggering 600 meters. Three pairs of powerful, dark red Dragon Wings unfurled, their membranes covered in Flame-like Red Lotus patterns. Twelve Flowing Lights connected to the tips of its Dragon Wings, wantonly absorbing various Elemental Spiritual Energies from the void.

The bone plates on the back of its two feet constantly emitted invisible ripples, controlling the surrounding Force Field according to Egg Pancake’s will.

The Energy Core on its chest flashed like a vortex. Shattered Dragon Power diffused and surged outwards. Dark clouds roiled across the sky, as if a Demon God had descended upon the world.

[Force Field Manipulation]: The Red Lotus Earth Flame Dragon’s mastery over Gravity has deepened, allowing it to gradually evolve the ability to control the Force Field.

Within a certain range and to a certain degree, it can alter the gravitational, magnetic, and electric fields, as well as the Spiritual Pressure of the current area.

[Ancient Saint’s Fire]: The Red Lotus Earth Flame Dragon’s Flame possesses the characteristics of its Red Lotus Mountain Beast ancestor. In addition to being highly adhesive, highly incendiary, and highly destructive to Elements, its Flame particles now have a new high physical-destructive property. The great power of its ancestor grants it the ability to separate things at a minute level.

[High-Level Dragon Power]: Its pure Giant Dragon bloodline allows the Red Lotus Earth Flame Dragon to weaken most Elemental Soul Techniques by nearly 80%.

The pressure from a pure-blooded Giant Dragon can cause considerable deterrence to others of the same species who are at the same Level but have a lower bloodline concentration.

Complete suppression against clan members of a lower Level and lower Talent.

A strong deterrent effect against Soul Beasts of a different Race but lower Level and same Talent.

Some deterrent effect against Soul Beasts of a different Race but same Level and same Talent.

P.S. Dragon Mighty suppression chart attached. Focus your mind to view.

[Ancient Dragon Form]:

Actively channel the faint Ancient Dragon Power within its bloodline to undergo a temporary life-level transition and enter Ancient Dragon Form. Power level increases by one Level, Talent is projected to rise to A, and the power of all Talents and Soul Techniques are amplified across the board. Current duration of Ancient Dragon Form: 5s.

Side Effects: Cannot use Ancient Dragon Form again for 15 days. The body will enter a weakened state, and the power of all Soul Techniques will be reduced by 85%. (Side effects will gradually decrease as the Soul Beast Level and Ancient Dragon Bloodline concentration increase; potions and support-type Soul Techniques can be used to shorten the duration of side effects.)

Normal State: Blessed by the bloodline of the Red Lotus Mountain Beast, the Red Lotus Earth Flame Dragon possesses at least twice the Power of an ordinary pure-blooded Giant Dragon and has 50% increased control over the Earth and Fire Elements. However, its body becomes heavier, and its movement speed is slightly reduced. (In a weakened state, the Red Lotus Mountain Beast’s bloodline abilities will be reduced proportionally.)

The above data is extrapolated from the system’s data analysis. Actual effects may vary.

"This..."

However... before Han Ning could carefully examine Egg Pancake’s breakthrough data, a monstrous torrent of Qi and Blood Power surged into his body like a flood bursting through a dam.
