Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

Ye Wushuang walked over and gently lifted Lan Xinyu’s chin. ”If you’re going to follow me,” he said lightly, ”don’t lower your head in the future. Understand?”

Hearing his light tone, Lan Xinyu froze for a moment. It seemed Ye Wushuang wasn’t angry about her previous transgression, but because she had lowered her head. At once, she nodded repeatedly!

Seeing Lan Xinyu’s expression, like she had done something wrong and was awaiting punishment, Ye Wushuang shook his head. This woman before him was dignified and elegant, possessing the air of a well-bred lady, yet now she was a maidservant. It almost made it seem as if he, Ye Wushuang, had committed some outrageous, heaven-defying crime.

Still, he hadn’t expected this prim and proper woman to steal a kiss from him, much less that he’d catch her red-handed!

At this thought, he subconsciously rubbed his nose, a roguish smile playing on his lips. What man would refuse such a pleasant surprise? How could he possibly make an issue of it?

Releasing her, Ye Wushuang turned and retrieved a bathing tub—the very one he had used before. He placed it inside the cave, and at the same time, his Divine Sense entered the Chaos Space, heading straight for the altar.

A month had passed, and the Dragon Blood Pool had produced more Dragon Blood. However, only half of it was left. The other half had undoubtedly been consumed by the Dragon Cat, which was sprawled to one side, fast asleep.

Ye Wushuang glanced at it. All the little guy did was eat, sleep, wake up, and eat again. He didn’t pay it much mind.

’Leaving half for me... I guess the little guy has *some* conscience,’

Ye Wushuang thought, feeling a little speechless. Still, the remaining half of the Dragon Blood was more than enough to heal all his injuries, with some to spare.

Ye Wushuang poured the rest of the Dragon Blood into the bathing tub, then turned to look at Lan Xinyu. While there wasn’t much Dragon Blood left, it was enough to trigger a complete transformation of her physique!

Lan Xinyu was also staring at the crimson blood in the tub. How could she fail to sense the surging, pure energy contained within? An incredulous expression appeared on her beautiful face.

”Sir, this is...?” Lan Xinyu asked.

”Dragon Blood.”

Ye Wushuang smiled faintly. The two words he uttered caused a tremor to run through Lan Xinyu’s body, and her beautiful eyes stared at the tub in disbelief.

Dragon Blood—the blood of a True Dragon. A Heaven-Defying Treasure that even the most powerful experts would kill for. Of course Lan Xinyu knew what it was. And now, there was a whole tub of it right in front of her. The shock was immense. If she hadn’t heard it from Ye Wushuang’s own lips, she would never have dared to believe it.

”Go ahead and soak in it for a while. Use this opportunity to improve your strength,” Ye Wushuang said lightly, then turned and walked toward the mouth of the cave.

’Soak in it?’

Gazing at his enigmatic departing figure, Lan Xinyu’s eyes glazed over. A tub of Dragon Blood—a Heaven-Defying Treasure that countless experts only dreamed of—was being used just for her to take a bath!

For a moment, Lan Xinyu felt dizzy from the sheer shock of it all. She couldn’t begin to imagine what kind of existence this man was. He was like a riddle she wanted to solve, but the more she tried, the deeper she fell!

A long time passed. Only after Ye Wushuang’s figure had completely disappeared from view did she snap back to reality. She gazed at the tub before her, then glanced toward the cave entrance. After a moment’s hesitation, she shed her clothes, revealing a flawless, jade-like body. It was a pity Ye Wushuang was already outside and would never know.

”Master!”

Seeing Ye Wushuang emerge, the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc standing guard outside bowed respectfully.

Ye Wushuang looked at the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc and waved his hand. A ray of golden light shot toward the center of the roc’s forehead.

”Master!”

The Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc’s expression changed drastically. It never imagined Ye Wushuang would attack so suddenly. In an instant, the streak of golden light pierced through its forehead.

The Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc immediately collapsed to the ground in terror. The searing pain in its forehead left it bewildered. ’Why would Master want to kill me?’

’Wait, something’s not right!’

By all rights, if Ye Wushuang had wanted to kill it, a golden ray piercing its forehead should have meant instant death. And yet, aside from the tearing pain, it was still alive.

’What’s happening?’

Just as the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc was about to raise its head, a sudden, intense, throbbing pain erupted in its mind. It cried out in agony as its body reverted to its true form. It launched itself off the cliff, its enormous body soaring into the Firmament, wreathed in a layer of golden light.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Ye Wushuang stared up at the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc. That ray of golden light was the True Blood he had managed to collect while performing Refinement on the Golden-Winged Roc True Blood. It would be of immense help in awakening and strengthening the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc’s own bloodline.

High in the Firmament, the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc’s body was undergoing a world-altering transformation. Its silver wings gradually grew more vibrant, now streaked with threads of gold.

WHOOSH!

An hour later, the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc dove down from the Firmament, appearing before Ye Wushuang in the blink of an eye. Its speed was absolutely terrifying.

The benefits from the Golden-Winged Roc True Blood were immense. Its speed had increased countlessfold, and its Cultivation had successfully advanced to the Demon King Realm. Moreover, its bloodline had been elevated by several tiers, giving it a chance to one day transform into a true Golden-Winged Roc!

To become a Golden-Winged Roc, a Supreme True Spirit—this had always been its dream. Ye Wushuang’s gift had undoubtedly given wings to that dream!

”Thank you, Master!”

The Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc was overjoyed. It immediately knelt before Ye Wushuang, kowtowing repeatedly in gratitude. It had now submitted to Ye Wushuang, completely and utterly!

’True Blood is a Supreme Treasure, yet Master gave it to me without the slightest hesitation. From now on, simply following him faithfully is enough for me!’

”Rise.”

Ye Wushuang said, his hands clasped behind his back as he glanced at the Firmament, his gaze growing profound.

’Father is in the Holy City, and the Holy City is the capital of the Grand Emperor Country. There might be news of the Holy Medicine there, too. The sooner I find the Holy Medicine, the sooner I can heal Master’s Dao-inflicted wounds. It looks like it’s time to make the journey.’

Ye Wushuang calculated inwardly. Along with searching for the Earth Spirit Vein, these two matters were his most urgent priorities.

After three days, Lan Xinyu completed her Refinement of the Dragon Blood. Tempered by its power, her physique had undergone a massive transformation, and her Cultivation skyrocketed to the Spiritual Spring Eighth Layer!

With that, the three of them finally left the mountain range.

”Master, we should be at the border between the Beastman Empire and the Grand Emperor Country now!” the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc said to Ye Wushuang as they flew through the sky.

Ye Wushuang now had a bit of an understanding of the Grand Emperor Domain. Aside from the Grand Emperor Country itself, there were countless other terrifying powers in the region.

For example, the Beastman Empire was a nation ruled by Beastmen. Rumor had it they were descendants of the Half-Demon Race and had inherited their ancestors’ ferocity and brutality. They were said to be utterly bloodthirsty!

Then there was the Huanying Country, a nation ruled by a woman. It was said that its ruler, the Huanying Empress, was an existence on par with the Great Emperor of the Grand Emperor Country.

Not only was her beauty unparalleled in the world, but her Cultivation was also said to be heaven-piercing!

Besides them, there were also powers like the Three Thousand Seas and the Sinful City!

Each was entrenched in its own territory, and together they held sway over the Grand Emperor Domain. They were terrifyingly powerful and known as the Overlords!

Of course, beyond all of them, high above the Firmament, there was also the mysterious ”Celestial Dome.”

Very few people knew of this ”Celestial Dome.” If Ye Wushuang didn’t possess the memories of the Ten Thousand Spirits Soul King, he too would likely have been in the dark.
