Chapter 222 - 222 I'll Give You an Opportunity

222 I’ll Give You an Opportunity

Ye Xuan fell silent. For a moment, he didn’t know how to tell Long Zhan that the dragon clan had gone extinct many years ago and had even become creatures of legend.

Realizing that Ye Xuan seemed out of sorts, Long Zhan raised its voice and accused, “Don’t tell me you took their blood yourself.”

However, Long Zhan quickly realized that it seemed impossible. With Ye Xuan’s current cultivation, it was probably impossible for the dragon clan to be willing to contribute so much of their blood to him. After all, dragons were the proudest of creatures and rarely dealt with human cultivators, even in the past.

Ye Xuan said, “I’m sorry. The dragon clan is already extinct.”

“Oh…”

Long Zhan sounded a little forlorn as it continued saying, “So they are all extinct. Now that I think about it, after facing such a great disaster, many races would have gone extinct. Moreover, the spiritual energy today is so thin.”

Even though Long Zhan was now merely a wisp of divine sense, it could still feel that the spiritual power in the air was different from the past. The world had undergone drastic changes; it was no longer the world it knew in the past.

“Senior, don’t be too sad,” said Ye Xuan, consoling it.

Long Zhan’s tone was somewhat mocking as it retorted, “What do I have to be sad about? I was expelled from the dragon clan long ago anyway and was no longer one of them. Those dragons…”

Its volume gradually decreased, as if it was caught up in some old memories.

No wonder Ye Xuan saw Long Zhan moving alone through the Dragon Pearl and did not see any other dragons. This was the reason.

Long Zhan did not ask Ye Xuan where he got so much dragon blood since the dragon clan was extinct. Everyone had their own secrets.

It could tell that Ye Xuan had a lot of secrets, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to deal with the bone dragon.

Long Zhan said, “We are fated to meet. I can’t answer your previous questions, but since we’ve met, I’ll give you an opportunity.”

The Dragon Pearl emitted a powerful golden light and floated in the air. Invisible gas surrounded it, and a small golden dragon could be seen swimming in it.

The light spread in all directions, and an extremely overbearing and scorching force surrounded Ye Xuan. Suddenly, countless flames ignited in his heart, as if he was going to be consumed by the blaze.

“Relax. Don’t resist this power.”

Long Zhan’s voice sounded in his ear, but it also seemed very distant.

Ye Xuan could feel his soul being pulled violently. It also felt as though he was being crushed by a huge rock weighing thousands of pounds. An indescribable pain swept through his body. He gritted his teeth and didn’t make a sound.

Above his head, golden lights flickered and weaved together to form a brilliant ocean. It was as if the sun had plummeted into the water. Even the sea water was surging with golden light. The entire world was beneath this ocean.

Ye Xuan stood there, feeling as though he was being stared at by a giant. He didn’t know what was under the sea, and his body seemed so small.

The creature hiding within the ocean blotted out the sky like an ancient giant. Occasionally, golden scales could be seen, indicating its noble and extraordinary identity.

At the same time, Ye Xuan’s shadow was also reflected on the surface of the ocean, and the two inexplicably overlapped. A huge golden dragon phantom also appeared on Ye Xuan’s body, gradually becoming more solid.

Roar!

A dragon’s roar shook the heavens and the earth. Huge waves rolled up on the rough ocean again as if they were going to drown everything. Ye Xuan bobbed up and down in the ocean, allowing the huge waves to hit him. The meridians in his body were constantly widened by an inexplicable force.

The overbearing power rampaged in his body. Be it Ye Xuan’s meridians or his divine consciousness, they all expanded to a terrifying extent.

After the intense pain, he suddenly felt extremely comfortable. It was as if every pore in his body had opened up and was wantonly swallowing the spiritual energy around him. He felt as though he was soaking in a hot spring, so much so that Ye Xuan’s tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

Long Zhan was a little shocked. It muttered, “This brat’s absorption ability is too freakishly strong and. His ability is almost on par with that of that man…”

Such a talent would have been rare even 1000 years ago, let alone now when there was a lack of spiritual energy.

Originally, Long Zhan had even made preparations to help Ye Xuan clear his meridians. After all, the power of the dragon clan was not something that ordinary people’s bones and muscles could withstand. The slightest carelessness would result in the recipient exploding and dying.

To its surprise, Ye Xuan didn’t even need its aid. Moreover, he absorbed its power quickly like a bottomless pit.

At this moment, Ye Xuan’s body was glowing with golden light as if it was made of pure gold. Even his hair was shining with supreme divinity, as if some god had descended.

By the time Ye Xuan opened his eyes, the light of the Dragon Pearl had dimmed. It fell to the ground and looked no different from an ordinary pearl.

“How do you feel?”

Long Zhan’s voice sounded rather weak. It could be seen that it used up quite a bit of strength just now.

Ye Xuan bowed deeply in the direction of the Dragon Pearl and said, “Thank you, Senior. I feel fine.”

Just now, his mind seemed to have been overwhelmed with many fragmented images. Those were most likely Long Zhan’s past memories, but they were fleeting and could not be seen clearly.

The incomplete memories were most likely due to the dilapidated state of the Dragon Pearl. It was also affected by Long Zhan’s remaining divine sense.

Long Zhan’s voice became weaker and weaker as it said, “I’m leaving immediately. I hope you can promise me one thing.”

Ye Xuan was naturally obliged to do so. He replied, “Senior, please speak freely.”

“Although the dragon clan is already extinct, I can’t bear to see the inheritance of the dragon clan end. If you see a creature with the dragon clan’s bloodline in the future, please give it my pearl.”

Although the Dragon Pearl didn’t have much power left in it, it was better than nothing. Moreover, Long Zhan was a legendary creature. Its Dragon Pearl was extraordinary.

The reason why Long Zhan was so weak was partly because he gave some of its inheritance to Ye Xuan, and partly because he had left a lot of its power in the Dragon Pearl. It even activated the hidden power that was not awakened by Ye Xuan just now.

“Alright, I’ll definitely fulfill Senior’s wish,” Ye Xuan promised.
