Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1709
Chapter 1706 Wanlongxu
Five days later, the Ten Thousand Dragons’ Blood Ritual of Returning to Their Ancestors began, sending the entire Dragon Realm into a frenzy. The heavens and earth resonated with the sound of passionate dragon roars, and countless dragon shadows streaked across the sky, heading deep into the
Dragon Realm. That was the Ten Thousand Dragon Ruins.
The so-called Ten Thousand Dragon Ruins is the final resting place of all dragons. When a dragon senses the end of its lifespan, it enters the ruins, digs its own cave, and buries itself there.
Passed down through countless generations, the ruins contain countless dragon bones.
Li Luo, Li Tianji, and Lin Miao, following Li Hongyou, arrived there. Looking out, the Ten Thousand Dragon Ruins was desolate and silent, the sky a heavy, dim hue. Solitary mountains rose from the ground like tombs.
Powerful dragons of all kinds arrived in a steady stream, their roars incessant, creating a bustling atmosphere.
“Is this the Wanlong Ruins where the blood sacrifice takes place?” Li Luo surveyed it curiously. Upon entering, the dragon blood coursing through his veins seemed to stir.
“This is the outer reaches. Once the blood sacrifice begins, the entire Wanlong Ruins will be flooded with ‘dragon blood.’ However, this isn’t actual dragon blood, but rather the blood and bones of countless dragon ancestors buried within the Wanlong Ruins, fused with the energies of the heavens and earth within. Normally, it lies dormant beneath the Wanlong Ruins, and can only be awakened through ritual.”
“And the deeper you go, the higher the chance of ancestral blood coalescing,” Li Hongyou explained.
Li Luo suddenly understood.
As they spoke, a resounding dragon roar echoed from the sky behind them. The next moment, the vast, majestic power of the dragon swept through like a storm.
Wherever the dragon’s might passed, awe welled up in the eyes of all the powerful dragons present, and they lowered their heads.
A purple-gold light streaked across the sky, finally landing on the highest peak outside the Wanlong Ruins. The tall, well-proportioned figure, with voluptuous curves that were breathtaking at first glance, was none other than the Dragon Clan leader, Zhen Linshuang.
Following Zhen Linshuang’s appearance, several other imposing figures descended, standing behind her.
Besides Great Elder Ao Yan, there was a burly middle-aged man with fiery red hair and an elderly man with golden eyes.
“That’s the Red Dragon Clan leader, Lu Song.”
“And the Gold Dragon Clan leader, Jin Zhang.”
“Both of them are Triple Crown Champions. They will undoubtedly escort Leader Zhen into the third level of the Blood Sacrifice to obtain the Ancestral Blood,” Li Hongyou introduced.
Li Luo nodded slightly. This meant that the top four fighters in the Dragon Clan were these four: a peak Triple Crown Champion, a peak-level Triple Crown Champion, and two ordinary Triple Crown Champions.
Besides them, Li Luo sensed nearly twenty other powerful dragons radiating king-level energy.
Such a legacy truly surpassed that of ordinary Heavenly King lineages. This Supreme of All Beasts truly lived up to its reputation.
Zhen Linshuang’s majestic purple-gold dragon eyes swept across the surroundings, drawing awe from the dragons wherever she looked. Her gaze then darted towards Li Luo.
Li Luo smiled at her.
Zhen Linshuang, however, remained impassive, offering no response. She simply averted her haughty gaze.
“Begin,” Zhen Linshuang’s gentle voice echoed throughout the room.
As her words fell, two dragon roars echoed through the heavens and earth. A rich medicinal aroma permeated the air. This aroma was so mysterious that even the excited dragons felt a sense of calm.
Immediately afterwards, Li Luo saw two jade-like dragon figures burst through the air, circling in the sky.
They were two king-level powerhouses from the Medicine Master Jade Dragon Clan.
As their dragon roars echoed, many powerful dragons expressed respect. If the might of the Heavenly Dragons instilled a deep reverence in their bloodlines, then their respect for the Medicine Master Jade Dragon Clan was genuine.
After all, countless dragons throughout history had received medical care from the Medicine Master Jade Dragon Clan.
It’s safe to say that without the Medicine Jade Dragons, the dragon race’s survival rate would plummet by several tenths, potentially impacting the dragon race’s status and legacy.
Therefore, even someone as arrogant as Zhen Linshuang softened upon seeing the two Medicine Jade Dragons, saying, “Thank you for your hard work, priests.”
The two Medicine Jade Dragons bowed their heads in greeting before turning their eyes to Li Hongyou’s position. A gentle, aged voice echoed, “Little Hongyou, come out! Without your help, our two old bones can’t handle this.”
Li Hongyou turned to Li Luo and smiled, “Then I’ll go preside over the blood sacrifice.”
With those words, she soared into the air, a sapphire light emanating from her. A clear dragon roar echoed through the heavens, and she transformed into a slender, elegant jade dragon.
The Medicine Jade Dragon Li Hongyou transformed into was noticeably more vibrant and agile than the previous two.
The Medicine Jade Dragon Clan is the rarest of the dragon clans. Therefore, aside from these two king-level powerhouses, no new Medicine Jade Dragon has reached the king-level realm in hundreds of years.
This is why, when Li Hongyou joined the Medicine Jade Dragon Clan at Zhen Fu’s recommendation, not only were the clan members willing to expend resources, but the entire dragon clan offered immense support to cultivate her.
As Li Hongyou transformed into a Medicine Jade Dragon and ascended into the air, joining the two king-level powerhouses, they unleashed a singular dragon roar, resembling the primal chant of a newly born dragon.
Boom!
The silent Ten Thousand Dragon Ruins quietly vibrated.
Faintly, the countless fragmented dragon souls dormant there were awakened, and roar after roar echoed.
“Offer dragon blood, sacrifice to the ancestral spirits!”
Zhen Linshuang’s commanding voice echoed.
Then, starting with her, every dragon present slashed their palms, releasing a drop of dragon blood.
Countless drops of dragon blood drifted out, hovering in the sky, unfading like drifting blood-red petals.
The three Medicine Master Jade Dragons presiding over the blood sacrifice wielded their claws, using the blood of countless dragons as ink to write ancient, primordial blood-red seal patterns. Eventually, the blood-red seal patterns transformed into a flash of blood and fell from the sky.
Boom!
The blood-red seal patterns crashed into the ground of Wanlongxu. The next moment, the earth suddenly and violently shook, as if a dragon were rolling and rumbling.
At this moment, Li Luo felt the energy of heaven and earth within Wanlongxu grow immense and violent, and a strong blood aura rapidly surged forth.
At the same time, Li Luo felt the celestial dragon blood within him begin to become increasingly active and seething.
Boom!
A tiny tinge of blood crimson suddenly spread across the vast, desolate land of Wanlong Ruins. The hue expanded at an astonishing rate, and in a matter of moments, a surging sea of blood erupted from the depths of the earth. With a
crashing roar ,
the entire Wanlong Ruins was transformed into a vast, boundless sea of blood.
Even isolated mountains were submerged.
“Blood sacrifice, begin!”
As the three Medicine Master Jade Dragons roared, countless dragons soared to the heavens before descending from the sky into the sea of blood.
They swam freely within, tempered and baptized by the ancient power within.
However, only those entering the sea of blood had reached the Marquis Realm. The powerful King Realm dragons, including Zhen Linshuang, spontaneously transformed into streams of light and swiftly descended into the depths of Wanlong Ruins.
Only in the depths could sufficient dragon souls be found to gather the ancestral blood.
Li Luo, Li Tianji, and Lin Miao exchanged glances, and naturally, unwilling to be left behind, they burst through the air and headed straight for the depths.
