Chapter 27

In Long Chen's sea of consciousness, the mysterious Dragon Jade, with its strange dragon patterns, once again emitted a faint light, a black glow enveloping the drop of inheritance blood beneath it!

The inheritance blood, restrained by the Dragon Jade, let out an angry roar, causing Long Chen's sea of consciousness to churn, but it still couldn't escape the control of the Dragon Jade.

The inheritance blood gradually moved toward the Dragon Jade, and in the next moment, they merged. At this time, the Dragon Jade turned completely blood red.

At this moment, Long Chen could see that the black dragon patterns on the Dragon Jade had turned red. In the body of these dragon patterns, there were actually meridians, which looked exactly like the dragon meridians!

Before Long Chen could be shocked, he noticed that there was a thread of blood-colored energy moving through the dragon meridians. Long Chen carefully memorized the path of the energy's movement, and he was already extremely excited.

"This path of movement is actually a method of using true qi, similar to a combat technique!"

Whether it was the Dragon Jade or the inheritance blood, they were both very mysterious and powerful things. The method of using true qi revealed by the paths on the Dragon Jade was naturally not simple.

Long Chen hurriedly memorized everything, and at this moment, the blood color on the Dragon Jade gradually faded, and the drop of inheritance blood was once again separated, suppressed by the Dragon Jade, unable to move.

Long Chen didn't have time to speculate on what the Dragon Jade was. He naturally used the method that appeared on the Dragon Jade to circulate the blood-red true qi. In that instant, Long Chen suddenly felt a tremor in his soul, as he suddenly understood the name and function of the method.

"Blood Refinement to Qi... It can refine the essence blood and then transform it into one's own true qi. This effect is several times stronger than directly consuming spirit jade or learning how to refine beast cores like a beast martial artist!"

"Such a method, though without a rank, is absolutely a heaven-defying divine ability!"

With the method of Blood Refinement to Qi, and now that Long Chen had the heart of the underground blood lizard in his hand, he immediately used the method. Instantly, a strange force acted on the blood lizard.

Long Chen could feel that the blood lizard was in great pain, so he crushed its heart, causing it to die instantly, to avoid it being tortured to death by the pain.

After the blood lizard died, under the effect of Blood Refinement to Qi, its blood surged toward Long Chen, not leaving a single drop behind!

At this moment, every scale on Long Chen's body seemed to turn into a huge mouth, swallowing the blood qi.

Under the powerful effect of Blood Refinement to Qi, with a loud boom, the blood burst, and many impurities were expelled from Long Chen's body. The remaining blood completely transformed into blood-red true qi, merging into Long Chen's dantian true qi!

The power contained in the bloodline of this underground blood lizard was equivalent to a hundred spirit jades. Tasting the sweetness, Long Chen, who still felt hungry, immediately turned his gaze to the other blood lizards!

With the support of the powerful method of Blood Refinement to Qi, Long Chen began a one-sided slaughter of the underground blood lizards. Although Long Chen was still at the fifth level of the Dragon Meridian Realm, he was much stronger than these blood lizards, especially with his bone spines, which could easily pierce through the blood lizards' bodies like tofu!

Under the influence of the blood qi of the blood lizards, Long Chen's hunger gradually subsided. The amount of his true qi had gradually caught up to his state before he encountered the Dragon Seal, but in terms of quality, it had increased tenfold!

Seeing Long Chen's crazy state, Ling Xi felt a bit sorry, but demons and humans were two different races. Humans usually hunted demons, and powerful demons also killed humans, which had become a rule.

Moreover, demons had low intelligence, so she couldn't say much. Before using Blood Refinement to Qi, Long Chen always killed his opponents first, showing that he hadn't been completely influenced by the bloody and murderous aura in the inheritance blood.

Just as Long Chen was about to stop, Ling Xi's anxious voice suddenly came.

"Long Chen, there's a huge demon in the underground! It's at the seventh rank of the Yellow Level. Should we run?"

A seventh-rank Yellow Level demon could have easily killed Long Chen in the past!

She couldn't gauge Long Chen's strength after he transformed into this body, so she asked him. At this moment, Long Chen was stunned.

"Seventh-rank Yellow Level, it's just right to test the strength of this body..."

A seventh-rank Yellow Level demon was generally stronger than a sixth-level Dragon Meridian Realm martial artist!

Just as this thought appeared in Long Chen's mind, the entire underground suddenly shook. At this moment, a roar similar to a dragon's came from the underground, and the mud pit suddenly exploded, revealing a huge crimson monster in front of Long Chen!

This was an enlarged version of the underground blood lizard, over twenty meters long, covered in blood-red scales, with two crimson eyes larger than basins, looking extremely fierce!

"It's actually the King of the Underground Blood Lizards! No wonder there are so many blood lizards here; it must be because of the presence of a king!"

Faced with the powerful demonic aura of the Blood Lizard King, Long Chen didn't retreat a single step.

After killing so many blood lizards, the Blood Lizard King was extremely angry. Although it could vaguely sense that Long Chen was very mysterious and strange, it couldn't ignore the anger in its heart!

"This ugly monster seems to want to kill me, but to me, you're just food!"

A cold light flashed in Long Chen's eyes. His current speed was more than ten times faster than before. Once he moved, he seemed to turn into a blood shadow in the cave. However, Long Chen could also see that the Blood Lizard King's tongue was very fast.

With just one step, a large, blood-red tongue, carrying overwhelming power, appeared above Long Chen's head. Long Chen suddenly roared and punched, colliding with it. He found that the force on the Blood Lizard King's tongue was almost equal to his own. This attack directly drove Long Chen's leg into the ground.

"Fine, I'm already full and don't have time to waste on you! I haven't used the Azure Dragon Seal yet, so today, I'll let you taste it!"

Long Chen lowered his head, and his now crimson eyes emitted a strong cold light. Although his hands had turned into claws, it didn't affect his ability to form seals. Blood-red qi began to rapidly swirl between his palms, and a powerful pressure shook toward the Blood Lizard King. The Azure Dragon Seal quickly formed in Long Chen's palm!

"Azure Dragon Seal!"

When the blood-red true qi had transformed into a small blood dragon coiling around Long Chen's palm, the Blood Lizard King immediately felt the threat of death and hurriedly retreated!

But at this moment, the originally dark cave suddenly shone with a blood-red light. A blood-red dragon figure flashed and struck the Blood Lizard King's head. When the deep dragon roar sounded, the Blood Lizard King's brain had already exploded, and it was completely dead!

Seventh-rank Yellow Level, dead!

This was the strongest opponent Long Chen had killed so far. Long Chen estimated that even Bai Shiji would not have any advantage against this Blood Lizard King!

After killing the Blood Lizard King and sensing its abundant blood qi, Long Chen, of course, couldn't let it go. He jumped onto the Blood Lizard King's back and used the method of Blood Refinement to Qi, causing a large amount of blood to surge from the huge Blood Lizard King's body.

The blood weighed several tons, but under Long Chen's digestion, about ninety percent of the waste was refined away. He then transformed the remaining essence into blood-red true qi, merging it into his dantian!

The essence blood of a seventh-rank Yellow Level demon was no joke. Long Chen instantly felt his true qi rapidly increasing, quickly reaching a critical point.

Previously, he was still hungry, but now he felt bloated. Long Chen finally waited for the moment to break through to the sixth dragon meridian!

Sitting cross-legged on the Blood Lizard King's body, in the next moment, all the true qi transformed into a blood-red dragon, roaring as it charged toward the sixth dragon meridian!

What shocked Long Chen was that the blood-red true qi dragon seemed to have intelligence, bloody and fierce. The blocked dragon meridian, in front of this blood-red dragon, was fragile. Long Chen's true qi had already reached the peak of the fifth level of the Dragon Meridian Realm, so breaking through to the sixth level was unexpectedly simple.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the sixth dragon meridian was suddenly penetrated, and a large amount of heaven and earth essence qi surged into Long Chen's body. His current strength was now at the sixth level of the Dragon Meridian Realm!

Before the Demon Hunting Competition, he finally reached the sixth level. Feeling the extremely powerful energy in his body, Long Chen finally smiled.

With such a big commotion, Long Chen didn't dare to stay here. He quickly left the underground cave and headed back to the previous cave. However, he was now troubled by his appearance.

Just as he was worrying about this, he suddenly felt an intense itch. At this moment, the scales and bone spines on his body slowly dissipated, reabsorbing into his body, and he returned to his original appearance.

However, when he eliminated the transformation, he could also feel that the inheritance blood that had spread throughout his body was slowly retreating, finally condensing into a small red dot on his forehead.

The blood-red true qi, which had originally increased in quality tenfold, gradually lost its blood color, but the remaining true qi still carried a hint of blood red, and its quality was about four times higher than ordinary true qi!

The strength that Long Chen had gained from the transformation was now slowly subsiding.

However, even now, he was still much stronger than other sixth-level Dragon Meridian Realm martial artists. With his cultivation in the Dragon Seal, Long Chen believed that he could still deal with a seventh-level Dragon Meridian Realm martial artist like Bai Shiji!

Although the strange transformation had subsided, Long Chen was a bit regretful because that was his strongest state. However, that appearance couldn't walk around in this world, so there was no choice.

"I wonder if I can transform into that state again. This mysterious Dragon Jade is so amazing, it should be possible."

Even without transforming, participating in the Demon Hunting Competition should be enough.

After Long Chen eliminated the strange transformation, everything returned to calm. Ling Xi couldn't wait to ask, "Long Chen, what kind of dragon is the inheritance blood you obtained?"
