Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 257: Chapter 256: Lifeblood Essence

“Ye Longhe, you are just a lackey of Liang Shaohui!”

Mo Jiuyou snorted coldly, “You’re always helping him, it’s utterly suspicious.”

“Right.”

Gui Qingtian added, “We had planned to leave earlier, but you misled everyone to compete for the Dragon Blood. Now, it turns out, you’ve laid the groundwork for Liang Shaohui. Did you already know about Liang Shaohui’s schemes beforehand? Had you two already made plans together?”

Hearing Gui Qingtian’s words, everyone felt there was reason in them, as previously it was Ye Longhe who had been fervently explaining the allure of the Dragon Blood. Otherwise, by now, the people might have already returned to the shore.

“Are you directing your anger at me just because you failed to seize the Dragon Blood?”

Ye Longhe narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, “The Dragon Blood, you all came to snatch of your own accord. Moreover, what I said was not incorrect. Opportunities only come once. I too thought that Liang Shaohui was already dead. Who would have expected that he had laid such a massive trap, even enveloping me in it. Do you think I don’t wish to obtain the Dragon Blood?”

Mo Jiuyou and Gui Qingtian, among others, had grim expressions and fell silent.

In fact, they knew that Ye Longhe couldn’t possibly be in cahoots with Su Han. It was merely because the Dragon Blood was stolen and the Pills were completely used up that they directed their anger towards Ye Longhe.

If the Pills hadn’t been entirely consumed earlier, they probably would have already attacked Ye Longhe. But now, with the little Dragon Power left in their bodies, they were still planning to save it to survive.

As for hunting treasures…

This bit of Dragon Power, if it lasts till the Gate of Deer Chasing closes, that would already be fortunate, let alone hunting for treasures!

“We should study how to get out, otherwise, given our grudge with Liang Shaohui, he probably won’t let things rest,” said Gui Qingtian.

Mo Jiuyou snorted, “Won’t let things rest? He doesn’t have a method to amalgamate the Dragon Blood. If he dares to consume it impulsively, his body might just explode, and he may not even live.”

“What if he does have it?” Gui Qingtian furrowed his brows.

“Impossible, that is the genuine Blood of the True Dragon, not to be compared with False Dragon Blood, nor with Flood Dragon Blood. Even the Top Ten Super Sects don’t all possess the method to amalgamate Dragon Blood,” Mo Jiuyou was very confident.

“Just to be safe, let’s first study this Light Barrier,” said Gui Qingtian in a grave tone.

…

Meanwhile, in the cave at that moment, Su Han had a Jade Bottle floating above his outturned palm.

“Nine Nether Hell Dragon…”

Su Han narrowed his eyes and suddenly opened the bottle’s lid.

“Ao!!!”

Instantly, an earth-shaking dragon’s roar emanated from the Jade Bottle.

In that instant, the Jade Bottle was directly shattered, vanishing into nothingness between heaven and earth.

A drop of purple-red fresh blood floated out. There wasn’t much of this blood, almost the same as that of an ordinary human.

Strangely, it enveloped a small dragon.

The tiny dragon was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, but it did exist within the drop.

“Essence Blood!”

Su Han’s eyes shone brightly, “I had not expected this to be the Blood of the True Dragon, and even more so, the Lifeblood Essence of the Nine Nether Hell Dragon!”

Lifeblood Essence differs from regular blood. Blood is plentiful and can be regenerated if lost, but there are only three drops of Lifeblood Essence.

Actually, even the people on the Dragon Martial Continent possess Lifeblood Essence.

However, the research on blood by the people of the Dragon Martial Continent is minimal, and there are no methods to cultivate Lifeblood Essence, so they are completely unaware of its existence.

Lifeblood Essence, whether in humans or beasts, irrespective of their level, from birth to death, is limited to only three drops.

Losing one drop is a true loss, never to be recovered.

Of course, legends say that there are Supreme Treasures of Heaven and Earth that can replenish Lifeblood Essence, but these are ultimately just legends.

In his previous life, Su Han had seen powerful beings fight; one of them almost perished but ultimately unleashed a drop of Lifeblood Essence, doubling their strength and forcing their opponent to flee in disarray.

That is the power of Lifeblood Essence.

When enhancing strength, it can also extend one’s lifespan, but by how much depends on one’s Cultivation Base.

Generally, most people would use their Lifeblood Essence to extend their lifespan only in desperate situations.

Though a drop of Lifeblood Essence is lost, at least one can live a bit longer, and if a breakthrough is achieved during this time, one could significantly increase both lifespan and strength.

Su Han never imagined that this drop of Blood of the True Dragon would actually be the Lifeblood Essence of the Nine Nether Hell Dragon!

“The Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons in his previous life only told me that it was a drop of Blood of the True Dragon, but he never mentioned that it was the Lifeblood Essence of the Nine Nether Hell Dragon.”

Su Han thought secretly, “This is even better. The Lifeblood Essence contains some memories of the Nine Nether Hell Dragon. This drop of Lifeblood Essence has one-third of its memories. If I’m lucky, I may well acquire the True Dragon Treasure Technique of the Nine Nether Hell Dragon Clan!”

It must be admitted that even in his previous life, Su Han was extremely covetous of the True Dragon Treasure Techniques of the Dragon Clan because these techniques were naturally born at the beginning of the universe when the Dragon Clan first existed.

Such True Dragon Treasure Techniques, like the universe bestowing them, were terrifyingly formidable, with indescribable powerful might.

It was also because of the True Dragon Treasure Techniques that the Dragon Clan held a supreme position across the entire Star Region.

However, even if Su Han was stronger, he had no way to seize the True Dragon Treasure Techniques, because if the Dragon Clan was defeated, they would choose to explode before dying, never allowing the True Dragon Treasure Techniques to be passed on.

To obtain it, there was only one way: to fuse with the Lifeblood Essence of the Dragon Clan.

Even then, it depended on luck.

“That old character, the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons, must have known that the Lifeblood Essence contained the memories of the Nine Nether Hell Dragon, so he never told me it was a drop of Lifeblood Essence, fearing I would ask him for it.”

Su Han laughed bitterly, “It seems he is still wary of me…”

Even the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons could not have anticipated that, through the reversals of time and cosmic reincarnation, there would come a day when Su Han would return to the Demon God World and obtain this drop of Lifeblood Essence.

“Let’s fuse now.”

Su Han took a deep breath, his eyes sparkled, and he suddenly opened his mouth wide, a powerful suction emerging from within.

Like a storm, the fresh blood struggled to resist but was utterly ineffective and was directly swallowed by Su Han!

“Boom!”

The moment he swallowed it, Su Han’s face suddenly turned red, and his clothes burst into shreds!

“Hmm?”

Su Han frowned, considering that the clothes he wore were transformed from Battle God Armor!

The strength of the Dragon Blood is evident!
