"It's really interesting that it can actually eliminate chaos."
Cassius touched the ground with his claws and dug out a piece of flesh from the dragon corpse that was sealed by the mountain under his feet.
"boom!"
After all, it is the flesh and blood of the insane Karix, and it has been contaminated by the abyss, which contains many complex forces such as destruction and chaos.
The moment the imperial domain restriction was taken out, thick chaotic black air gushed out from it.
The purple-black blood danced wildly in the air, gradually condensing into a hideous figure, and a dragon-blood monster was born.
The monster was only three feet long, like a deformed red dragon. Its body was soaked in mucus, and it had five pairs of limbs densely packed together, and three broken black wings hung irregularly behind it.
It struggled and twisted violently on the ground, looked at Cassius with resentful eyes, sprayed venom that was enough to corrode rocks, and let out a shrill scream.
"Escape. You can't escape."
“You can’t escape.”
The sound was hoarse and sharp, like scrap metal rubbing in the throat.
[Cursed Pseudo-Dragon] (Challenge Level: 3)
Cassius stared at the monster born from dragon's blood, his eyes narrowed slightly, reflecting the image of the monster's fangs and claws.
“It seems that I was right. This is the curse that Jelrazax left behind before his death.
He expected that I would leave the dragon corpse behind, so he delayed time at the last moment and injected part of his own will and the vicious curse of the abyss into my blood.
If I devour the blood rashly like I did last time, I'm afraid that the remaining will of Jelrazax will invade my mind."
A hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed in Cassius's light golden vertical pupils, and the dragon face suddenly became somewhat hideous.
“You can’t escape.”
"The Great Abyss"
The dragon-blood monster's screams continued, intermittently.
Cassius twisted his head, and the scenes of his mind being affected by the "Heart of Karix" and becoming confused and violent emerged in his mind, making him sneer again.
"What an old-fashioned trick, Jelrazax, this is really your style, even if you are dead, you still want to disgust me.
But that's just right, let me test the power of the Breath of Order."
The red dragon opened its mouth, a faint light flickered in its pupils, and suddenly a silver-white flame gushed out from the depth of its throat, enveloping the monster born from dragon blood.
"Ow—"
The silver-white flame burned fiercely, and the dragon-blood monster struggled and twisted in the firelight. It raised its head, waved its deformed limbs wantonly, and let out a shrill wail.
However, under the flames of absolute order, the struggle of the dragon-blood monster seemed so pale and powerless. It struggled hard, slowly fell down, and its whole body melted.
The burning lasted for dozens of minutes, and finally, the silvery-white flame slowly dissipated under Cassius' control.
As the fire that brings all things back to order, the burning of the Fire of Order does not leave any scorch marks, nor does it damage any environment. Everything around it remains intact.
But the twisted and hideous dragon-blood monster disappeared, leaving only a drop of bright red blood in the air, exuding a faint sense of oppression.
"This is."
Kaixiu's eyes suddenly lit up, he moved forward and looked at the blood carefully.
In his eyes, this drop of blood contained terrifying energy and was covered with complex patterns like tree roots - that was the inheritance of the ancestral dragon.
[Pure ancestral dragon blood]
"You mean, you drank the blood of those mythical dragons and survived? - Dragon Scholar, Valdera"
Item Description: The blood of Karix contains the powerful power of the ancestral dragon bestowed by the Nine-Faced Dragon God.
After being purified by the Flame of Order, the blood containing the desire for destruction and the power of chaos was discharged, and the blood was also purified into pure ancestral dragon blood.
Item effect:
Ancestral dragon blood purity +0.001%
There is a certain chance to obtain legendary dragon characteristics and inherited spells
"Isn't this the way to deal with the body of Karix?"
After reading these introductions, Cassius' eyes were suddenly filled with endless ecstasy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
He used the Heavenly Tribulation Dragon Eye and the Eye of True Vision to scan the drop of blood up and down several times, and then released a silver-white flame to purify it again.
After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, Cassius slowly opened his mouth and swallowed the hard-earned ancestral dragon blood.
"Om-"
Suddenly, a warm current flowed down the throat into the red dragon's body, slowly flowing through the basal blood vessels, and finally merged into his hot heart.
Cassius exhaled a mouthful of hot sulfur and uttered a happy low hum, and the blowholes on his neck and tail belched out bursts of white smoke and flying sparks.
Fire surged in the base blood vessels, and the huge, powerful dragon body trembled slightly. The invisible aura of pressure spread out, making the creatures several kilometers away feel frightened.
This is the pressure of the ancestral dragons. As beings that once ruled the sky and the earth, these mythical dragons are extremely powerful.
Although there was no prompt from the panel, Cassius could feel that his strength, physique, and even spellcasting ability had slightly improved.
And these are just the effects brought to him by a drop of [Pure Ancestral Dragon Blood].
"very good"
Cassius' voice was trembling, revealing endless excitement and joy.
Under the pleasure of this increased power, the red dragon, showing its greedy nature, wanted to swallow the body of the ancestor dragon.
However, Cassius remained rational. He suppressed his excitement and looked down at the dragon corpse that had turned into a mountain, muttering to himself:
"Next, just follow the steps."
At this moment, this mountain shaped like a ferocious dragon has become a treasure mountain far more precious than gold and jewels in the eyes of the red dragon.
Anyway, he has sealed the body of Karix in Dragon Blood Mountain, so it can't escape.
Unless a true God descends to the world, or the Lord of the Abyss comes in person, no one can snatch away the dragon body buried in the mountains under his nose.
Cassius only needs to stay in the forbidden area of Dragon Blood Mountain, constantly purifying and absorbing the remains of Karix, and one day he will be able to upgrade his bloodline to the level of a true ancestral dragon.
By then, even if he encountered the incarnation of gods or the lord of the abyss outside the empire, Cassius would not be afraid at all - after all, the ancestral dragon was at the top of the food chain in the multiverse and could walk sideways even in the astral realm.
"Since it's a forbidden area, it needs to be more mysterious." Cassius slowly raised his claws, and the power of the laws of [Imperial Domain] surged in his palm, and then suddenly expanded to several kilometers away.
Suddenly, white smoke with a pungent smell of sulfur spewed out from the cracks in the ground, gradually covering the entire Dragon Blood Mountain, leaving people only able to vaguely see its magnificent and majestic outline.
"call"
"It's worthy of the reward for killing the Abyss Lord. It's really beyond my expectations."
Cassius let out a long breath, calmed his slightly agitated mood, and looked at his panel again, where there were still countless messages waiting to be browsed.
Yes, the Demon Killing Achievement and the Blood of Karix were only part of his gains this time, but the most intuitive feedback was the massive amount of experience gained from killing demons.
You should know that in this "Battle against the Abyss", Cassius not only killed a real lord of the abyss, but the aftermath of the battle also killed millions of abyss demons like waves.
However, compared to the Red Dragon’s current status and life level, those ordinary demons are too insignificant and can no longer provide him with much experience.
[Kill the cowardly demon and get 0.1xp]
[Kill the inferior demon and gain 0.1xp]
[Kill the Berserker and get 50xp]
[Kill the giant bull demon and get 100xp]
[Kill [Barro Flame Demon - Leo (Challenge Level: 18)], get 20000 XP]
[Kill [Lord of Vengeance - Jelrazax (Challenge Level: 34)] to obtain 215000 XP]
[Your total occupation level increased to: 24]
[Your current occupation is: True Dragon Warlock 17/Blood Scale Berserker 3/Elemental Master 4]
Now Cassius no longer has much hesitation about the choice of career - this time he continues to choose [True Dragon Warlock].
Rather than decentralized options, this red dragon prefers to concentrate its power in one point.
In the absence of the imperial domain, his greatest reliance in battle is his naturally strong body and the powerful spellcasting ability given to him by the warlock profession.
[You choose to upgrade [True Dragon Warlock] to level 18]
[Due to the natural spellcasting of the dragon race and the innate authority of the elemental lord, your current caster level is: 24]
Once again, the familiar feeling surrounded Cassius' body. His will roamed freely in the magic web and became more closely integrated with this world, even as if they were one.
For sorcerers of this level, their every move can affect everything. They don't need to cast spells specifically; just a slight thought can cause huge waves.
Their every move will attract thousands of people to worship them, and this otherworldly charm is enough to make these warlocks natural rulers.
“Nice feeling”
Cassius licked his lips, revealed a hideous smile, and looked at the panel impatiently again.
[At 18th level, you gain an ability granted by your sorcerous origins.]
[As a descendant of the ancestral red dragon, you trace back the long river of time, dig out your long-standing bloodline, and feel the special pressure from ancient times.
You gain the magical origin ability [Ancestor Dragon's Majesty]
【Zu Long Majesty】
Level 18 Dragon Bloodline Features
As a descendant of the ancestral red dragon, the true dragons, sub-dragons and all other creatures with dragon blood around you will feel the pressure of your blood and fall into a state of fear, shock, etc.
And you trace your bloodline and gain the ability of [Ancestral Dragon's Majesty], which allows you to further guide this and has a chance to control the minds of the oppressed for a period of time.
"Isn't it similar to telekinesis?"
Cassius stroked his scaly chin and carefully examined the information displayed on the panel.
For a dragon of his level, this ability is a bit useless.
——The reason is simple. Cassius only needs to show his huge body of more than 40 meters long to make most dragon creatures surrender.
“However, it can have some effect when dealing with strong-willed and kind dragons like gold dragons and silver dragons.
For example, Myhrvold's group of nosy silver dragons."
Cassius casually shook his dusty wings and shook his head while making this comment.
He looked at his panel again and said softly, "Next is the spell."
Cassius was not as excited as usual about obtaining new spells.
After all, for the current Emperor Burning Embers, even the Nine-Ring Spell is just icing on the cake, not to mention that his opponents are basically prepared for it.
[You tap into the memory of spells in your blood and gain access to common spell treasures.]
Kaixiu was a little confused: "Oh? This time it's not a dragon spell?"
You have to know that dragons are extremely arrogant, and the ancestral dragons that ruled the sky and land in ancient times were even more so.
Therefore, if they are not truly useful, they will never condescend to learn the "lowly" spells of humans and elves.
Thinking of this, Cassius' eyes lit up and he stared at the panel.
[You obtain the spells [Steel Bones] [Release]]
【Steel Bones】
8th-level transmutation spell
You make your body so hard that it resembles a statue made of enchanted steel. During the spell's duration, you gain +4 Strength, -4 Agility, and +10 Armor.
Additionally, you are immune to blindness, deafness, critical hits, disease, poison, stun, electricity, and all spells that affect your physical body or breathing.
Fiery dragon flames spewed out of Cassius' nostrils, and his expression became somewhat excited again.
"It's a very useful spell, and it can be adapted to my existing spells to produce unexpected effects."
If the agility bonus of [Flexible as a Dragon] is combined with the strength bonus of [Bones of Steel], he will be able to gain four more strength points out of thin air without affecting his agility, and also have indestructible protective capabilities.
According to the rules of "Erezegai", every time an attribute is improved, the strength will increase by 15% on the original basis.
And these four extra points of strength will create a huge advantage in close combat!
Originally, red dragons were a race that was extremely strong in melee combat and could be called killing machines. After being blessed with magic, Cassius' melee combat became even more powerful!
"As expected, this is a spell that even those proud ancestral dragons are willing to learn. It is indeed quite effective."
Cassius grinned excitedly, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs, and looked at his panel again. The information of another spell gradually emerged and appeared in front of him.
[Release Binding Technique]
9rd level protection spell
A force field erupts with you as the center, destroying all control, binding and sealing spells, and destroying all physical and magical barriers, enchantments, and imprisonment effects created by spells.
All spells that maintain magical effects will dissipate, protective spells are not affected, cannot penetrate the force field, and will not affect oneself.
Cassius nodded with satisfaction, and spread his wings slightly: “As expected of a nine-ring protective spell, each one is very effective.
With the release technique, you can deal with those annoying seals, such as Wagner's dragon trapping array, or even the dragon madness maze."
Thinking of this, Cassius turned around and stared towards the south.
The sight in his light golden vertical pupils penetrated the mist and white smoke, traveled across tens of thousands of miles, and saw the brutal war still going on on the continent of Feanso.
I also saw the colorful races such as dwarves, elves, orcs, and nagas, and the various countries they were in.
Cassius closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if sucking in the energy surging in the air.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Years of planning, one day of success. This feeling of harvest is really good.
Next, it’s time to consider the situation on the continent of Feanso. I wonder if they are ready to welcome the coming of the empire.”
The red dragon opened his eyes, and a faint light flashed in the depths of his pale golden pupils, revealing endless greed. (End of this chapter)
