Chapter 779 Chaos Bloodline & Dao Body



Ao Shen hurriedly healed his injuries, ensuring he reached his peak state as soon as possible. And the price for his action was the death and severe injuries of many of the troops in his Demonic Legion.

Previously, the legion was already injured after they offered their Bloodline Source to Ao Shen. But now, after giving him their life force, many people died. If it were not for the fact the demon race had a naturally powerful physical body and higher life force than races like humans, more people would have died.

Despite this severe sacrifice, 99% of these demons were willing. Before participating in this battle, they prepared for their death. Ao Shen and the other tribe chiefs trained them with the idea that the human might besiege them as soon as the battle began.

The upper echelon of the demon race knew many people or races did not want to see an Eternal Emperor appear in the demon race. Because of this fear, Ao Shen has always been low-key and rarely revealed his strength.

He did not even reveal he was an Innate Dragon. So far, during the battle, he also rarely used his demon form to prevent accidents.

As such, every soldier in the demon legions came to this battle prepared not to leave alive. They would sacrifice their bodies, souls, and lives to ensure Ao Shen's success.

"Phew," exhaled Ao Shen as he returned to his peak fighting shape. Without wasting time, he took out Jingwu Hua's heart and refined it. He absorbed her Three-Legged Golden Crow Bloodline, which was unique.

The Golden Crow Clan only has one leg. But only Jingwu Hua's Lineage is special since their bloodline has mutated, acquiring two extra legs. The first Emperor of the Clan–who proved the Dao during the Ancient Emperor Era–was also of this lineage. There is a high chance Jingwu Hua and her father are descendants of the Golden Claw's Ancestor.

"Truly a unique bloodline," muttered Ao Shen after absorbing it. The Three-Legs Golden Crow have some Innate Aura in their bloodline from when they were Innate Creatures.

Simultaneously, their bloodline has been nourished twice by the Grand Dao Source, making it unique even amongst Royal Demon Bloodline.

Ao Shen felt the power coursing through his veins.

'The middle of 7-Leaf. However, I can feel I'm approaching a barrier; no, it should be a limit.'

He frowned after feeling this sensation. He could sense if he waited for a while, his strength would reach that barrier. And if he absorbed another potent bloodline, he would get there even sooner.

'According to my calculations, Jingwu Hua's bloodline should have granted me 8-Leaf Strength–at the very least. And now, I can feel myself approaching a limit. Is it impossible for my Chaos Bloodline to achieve Dao Ancestor Strength?'

Ao Shen was not willing to accept such a fact. His Emperor Path relied on this bloodline. The fate of the demon race depended on this plan. 

He could not and would not accept failure.

'I just need more bloodline to break the limit.'

A ruthless light flashed in his eyes. If he could not pass that barrier, he would take the risk and begin absorbing Human Bloodlines.

Ao Shen took a deep breath to calm down. He checked on his Dao Tree and frowned. He discovered his Chaos Innate Law was still brewing. Even the Golden Crow's bloodline was not enough to gestate it.

"Let's move to the next target."

He teleported to a corner of the Southern Quadrant. On a small and barren planet, he saw a beautiful woman with a phoenix mark on her forehead sitting cross-legged and meditating, surrounded by formation.

Ao Shen frowned as he saw no signs of a legion or battle, making him wonder if this place was a trap.

"Enjoying yourself?"

His voice traveled innumerable distances and headed directly to Huo Fenghuang's ears. She opened her eyes and looked at the visitor. A brilliant light flashed deep in her eyes that no one could detect.

Huo Fenghuang stood up from her meditative pose. Her actions were slow, smooth, and elegant; she displayed a level of nobility engrained deep in her bones. She took one step and appeared in the atmosphere outside the planet, facing Ao Shen.

She looked at him up and down.

"Chaos Bloodline?' She shook her head. "I don't know whether you're brave, stupid, or ignorant."

"What does that mean?" said Ao Shen with an ugly complexion. He felt the latter knew some great secrets vital to him.

"Emperors like to leave means in their bloodline to ensure their successful arrival," explained Huo Fenghuang with a sneer. "And even those that don't do that will leave means in their bloodline to prevent other people from stealing. So, how could it be easy to absorb so many bloodlines and incorporate them?"

Some people in the Ancient Clan wanted to create a Chaos Bloodline. However, the fate of these people has always been the same–miserable death. That's why she only chose to incorporate five bloodlines and chose wisely.

"Our Demon Emperors would never do such a thing. The current Royal Bloodlines are harmonious and wholeheartedly work for the revival of the clan."

"Haha, even you don't believe what you said," added Huo Fenghuang with a sarcastic smile. "The demon race believes in the strong preying on the weak, so they are more ruthless when it comes to things like Bloodline Resurrection.

"Plus, after the Golden Ape Emperor event, most Demon Emperors knew the other races could not tolerate their existence. These Emperors are not stupid, so do you think they would not leave backhands for their revival?"

"What are you trying to say?" asked Ao Shen with blood eyes, his chest rising up and down, followed by a terrifying aura.

"Before the battle, you did not have the Chaos Bloodline, meaning you only started recently. However, how difficult is it to incorporate so many bloodlines–even with the Dao of Swallowing?"

The sneer on Huo Fenghuang's face was prominent.

"I'm guessing your current state is the result of numerous Emperor Bloodline Imprints helping you incorporate these bloodlines. Then, when the time is ripe, these Emperors who want to revive will fight to occupy your body through the imprints.

"Then, the final winner will have a perfect body with Chaos Bloodline. After reviving, they can cast a better Dao Body."

Emperor or Dao Bodies are the results of many things. For example, the Qi/Energy a cultivator uses will fuse to their Dao Body. Wang Wei had an Infinite Divine Sea, allowing him to amass a large amount of energy. This energy will become part of his Dao Body.

Other aspects of the Dao Body involved their soul, body tempering, Innate Talent or Unique Divine Ability, Dao Heart, and Willpower. All these aspects will fuse to the Dao Body. 

And based on how powerful these things were in the Mortal Stage would determine how much of a boost a Great Emperor would have after [Awakening] their Dao Body.

Of course, there are exceptions. People with unique souls, like Di Tian's Innate Emperor Soul and Wang Wei's Innate Paragon Soul, can be used differently to achieve Grand Dao Source boosts.

Other things of that category involved body refiners with high Willpower or high achievement in the True Power Dao Realm.

Dao Bodies have levels. Cultivators like Huang Yuan or Tie Gang, who are only powerful Quasi-Emperors, will have a weak Dao Body. After using the awakening technique, they won't even have a 1% boost to their Grand Dao Source.

However, Heaven Chosen like Tong Ruobing, Ao Shen, and Jingwu Hua, who broke the Mortal-Immortal Barrier, will have a 1-2% boost to their Grand Dao Source, allowing them to fight Emperors of higher Grand Dao Source comprehension.

Cultivators like Chu Luo, who achieved Nine Extremity Foundation, will have a boost between 3 to 5%.

Of course, there is still hope for people like Tie Gang with a regular Dao Body to achieve a potent Dao Body, but it's not easy.

Subsequently, the Dao Body of the Demon Race and cultivators from Ancient Times rely heavily on their bloodline. And this fact is more prominent in the demon race.

With a Chaos Bloodline, any Demon Emperor could create a Dao Boy capable of achieving a 2% Grand Dao Source boost after awakening. Maybe even 3%.

Ao Shen looked at Huo Fenghuang with an intense desire to kill. However, she was calm, even smiling and smirking.

'Calm down, calm down, calm down,' he repeated in his mind, taking a deep breath. 'There is a high chance she is lying to affect my state of mind. And even if she's not lying….'

He snorted coldly, "I won't listen to your nonsense. Even if you're telling the truth, all these troubles will be solved after I prove the Dao. The Heaven Will Battle is an absolutely safe place. No matter how powerful these Emperors are, they cannot interfere."

"True," nodded Huo Fenghuang. "However, they can make your Chaos Bloodline, well, chaotic, making you have to worry about it and becoming distracted.

"As long as you're not the final winner, they will win."

Ao Shen was calm and did not respond to her words. He analyzed his current situation and knew what step to take forward–win. As long as he wins, everything will be fine.

And if he loses, things will also not be desperate. He will return to the Demon Race and immediately begin the Heaven Path Tribulation.

The tribulation is similar to the Heaven Will Battle and should not allow these Emperors to interfere. And after becoming a 6-Star Primarchs on par with Eternal Emperors, he won't have any issue dealing with these Emperor Imprints.

'He already calmed down?' pondered Huo Fenghuang. 'His state of mind and Willpower are extraordinary. However, even so, he cannot return to his peak state in such a short time.'

Her plan has partially succeeded, giving her the advantage in the Mind State Area. Furthermore, she was confident her Five Sacred Beast Bloodline was on par with the Chaos Bloodline, let alone Ao Shen's half-ass one.
