Chapter 10 The Noble Bloodline of the Demon Race
Chapter 10 The Noble Bloodline of the Demon Race
The little child quickly recovered from his disbelief and coughed lightly, asking, "Can you tell me what bloodline I have?"
The golden-scaled dragon shook its head and said, "My cultivation is too shallow to detect what bloodline you have, but judging from the pressure you just released, I am certain that you have at least the bloodline of a demon king."
The little child asked, puzzled, "What is the Demon King's bloodline? Is this bloodline very powerful?"
The golden-scaled dragon fish was like a loyal fan. Whenever the little child asked him a question, he would answer everything he knew. "Of course! The bloodline of the Demon King is equivalent to the noble bloodline of the demon race. As long as you obtain the title of Demon King, you can release the special pressure of our demon race. This pressure is completely different from the pressure released by cultivation. It is a suppression from the bloodline, just like the pressure you just released. Even if you are at the Core Formation stage, your pressure can still control me."
There are three noble bloodlines among the demon race: Demon King, Demon Emperor, and Demon Sovereign. Because these noble bloodlines are hereditary, the number of nobles is extremely small. There are currently only twenty-four Demon King families in the demon realm; there are ten Demon Emperors currently in power, who are the ten elders of the demon realm; and finally, there is only one Demon Sovereign in each great eon, and unless a Demon Sovereign voluntarily abdicates, they cannot be killed. The intensity of their aura varies depending on their status.
The little child stopped arguing with the golden-scaled dragon fish about the topic and instead asked about the ancient ruins: "Since you have lived here for so long, you must know where the Human Emperor's treasure is."
"Of course I know. My cultivation has reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. These things are no different from trash to me." The Golden Scaled Flood Dragon nodded.
The golden-scaled dragon then made another request: "I wonder if Your Highness could do me a small favor? If Your Highness agrees, I would gladly serve as Your Highness's mount for a hundred years, let alone this treasure of the Human Emperor's Palace."
Although the offer was tempting, the little boy didn't rush to agree. After all, he wouldn't do something that could risk his life. "What is it? As long as it's within my ability, I'll try my best to help you."
The golden-scaled dragon said, "You can definitely do this. Just take me with you when you go out. I have been trapped here for thousands of years."
"Then what should I do?" the little child asked.
"It's simple. I'll conceal my presence and shrink to your size so you can take me out," the golden-scaled dragon fish replied.
The little child readily agreed, "Okay! I promise you, now can you tell me where the Emperor's treasure is?"
"Your Highness, as far as I know, the Human Emperor's Palace is located in the central area of the entire ruins. I explored it a hundred years ago. There is a huge altar in the central area, and the real treasure is in the Human Emperor's Palace beneath the altar."
"The Emperor's Palace is buried underground?" the little child asked, puzzled.
"That's right. The altar above is actually a trap, an illusion array. A hundred years ago, when the ancient ruins were last opened, everyone who entered died in this illusion array. In fact, the so-called ruins were only created to lure some cultivators with extremely high cultivation levels, using their lives as nourishment to maintain the ancient ruins."
Hearing the Golden Scaled Dragon Fish's words, the little boy felt a chill run down his spine. If he hadn't known this now, he probably would have become nourishment for this ancient relic.
The golden-scaled dragon fish naturally knew what the little boy wanted to ask, and continued to explain to him: "The method to break the formation is actually very simple. Gather the power of four people and break the guardian pillars in the four directions of east, west, south and north at the same time, and the formation will become ineffective. However, none of the explorers who have entered in the past thousand years have ever discovered that this is a trap. In the end, it is because humans are too greedy. When they see treasures, their first thought is to kill each other and take all the benefits for themselves. Otherwise, no one would have discovered the Human Emperor's Palace in the past thousand years."
"So, according to you, the Human Emperor's Palace has never been opened?" The little child was incredibly surprised. In the thousands of years since then, no one had ever obtained the treasures of the successive Human Emperors. If he could get them, wouldn't he become incredibly wealthy? Thinking of this, the little child couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The little boy excitedly said to the golden-scaled dragon, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! Let's raid that human emperor's palace together!"
The golden-scaled dragon shook its head helplessly and said, "Young master, I will not go. Not to mention whether my enormous size can fit in, I have an enemy here whom I have fought for a thousand years. It is time to settle our score before I leave. You only need to remember our agreement. When I leave, I will definitely acknowledge you as my master."
"This is my natal demon pearl. If you encounter danger, you can infuse it with spiritual power and call upon me, and I will come." The golden-scaled dragon fish spat out a pearl and handed it to the little child.
The little child accepted the bead, took a drop of his own blood from his fingertip and gave it to the golden-scaled dragon fish, saying, "They say my bloodline can help improve your cultivation. Since you're going to acknowledge me as your master, you should accept it."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
The little boy didn't insist on the golden-scaled dragon fish; after saying goodbye, he went ashore and returned to his camp.
When the little boy returned to the camp, it was already past midnight. Seeing everyone still cultivating, he felt endless sorrow.
He grumbled inwardly, "Why? Everyone else broke through their cultivation levels after drinking just two or three drops of my blood, while I only felt it was delicious and didn't see any increase in my cultivation level." Thinking of this, he angrily went back to his tent to sleep.
"Boom—!" A magnificent aura of spiritual energy spread outwards.
The loud noise startled the little boy awake. He yelled and cursed, "Who was the inconsiderate person who disturbed my sleep? Don't they know that disturbing other people's sleep will get them struck by lightning?"
The little boy tidied his clothes and went out to check, and was amazed by his beauty.
A pale golden holy light flowed around a woman like liquid metal. Her shimmering peach blossom eyes were half-closed, her eyelashes tinged with golden radiance, and the holy light accentuated the natural upward curve of her eyes.
A translucent prism floated between her pale golden willow-leaf eyebrows, her hair, like molten mithril, hung down to her knees, with fine stardust floating at the ends, and ancient star maps flowed in her deep, pool-like pupils.
The little child stared in a daze at the stunningly beautiful woman before him, who seemed like a celestial being, breathtakingly beautiful.
Seeing the little child staring intently at her, the woman blushed, turned her back, took out a set of clothes from her storage bag, and quickly put them on.
The little child then realized that the woman in front of him was not wearing clothes, and lowered his head in embarrassment.
The woman approached the little child and softly asked, "Have you looked enough?"
Hearing that familiar voice, the little child was startled and asked incredulously, "Senior Sister Luo Luo?"
"Hmm?" Chen Luoluo chuckled softly, her tone gentle. "What's wrong? Why are you shy now that I've become more beautiful? This isn't like you before."
"I just didn't expect you to suddenly change like this? And I sensed the power of our bloodline in you," the little child asked in confusion.
Chen Luoluo hugged the baby tightly, remaining silent for a long time. After a while, she slowly released the baby, her eyes filled with tears, and said, "Little one, thank you!"
"Thank me?" he asked, somewhat bewildered. "Could it be that you completely absorbed my bloodline power, thus causing your body to evolve?"
Chen Luoluo nodded, and with a thought, golden spiritual power surged around her body. "Because of the evolution of my bloodline, my cultivation has also risen all the way to the late stage of the Nourishing Yuan Realm, and I feel that the power in my body is constantly getting stronger."
The little boy rubbed his temples. He couldn't stand seeing others drink his blood and improve their cultivation, especially those who advanced by a large margin. Suppressing his resentment, he said, "Why? I've worked so hard for so long, and everyone says I'm a genius, but how come my advancement speed is less than half of yours? It's infuriating!"
He secretly thought to himself, "Uncle Xia said there are no shortcuts in cultivation. I'll never soak the blood ginseng in my food again. Otherwise, at their current growth rate, when will my small body ever surpass them?"
The little boy got angrier and angrier, and eventually stopped thinking about it altogether and went for a walk in the forest by himself.
As Chen Luoluo finished absorbing the energy, the others beside her also woke up one after another. Looking at their refreshed expressions, it was obvious that they had gained a lot.
Zhang Lin undoubtedly reaped the greatest rewards. She exhaled a breath of turbid air, slowly opened her eyes, felt the power flowing through her body, and felt her cultivation level, which was originally at the early stage of the Core Formation Realm, directly transform into the perfect Core Formation Realm. Her eyes searched intently for the little baby, her burning gaze filled with gratitude and disbelief.
Chen Luoluo naturally noticed the change in Zhang Lin's cultivation level and anticipated her words. She calmly said, "Senior Sister Zhang, if you want to know the method to improve your cultivation, I will tell you later. This little guy is not in a good mood right now, so you must not discourage him now."
Looking at the stunningly beautiful woman before her, Zhang Lin felt a momentary daze. At first, she didn't realize that this changed woman was Chen Luoluo, but her voice and mannerisms were unmistakably Chen Luoluo's. Incredulously, she asked, "You are... Luoluo?"
Chen Luoluo nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
As their bloodlines merged, Chen Luoluo felt that she had acquired many characteristics of a little child, one of which was particularly noticeable: arrogance.
She wasn't entirely sure why she felt this way, but she could sense that it was an arrogance that came from the very core of her being, a feeling of nobility.
Chen Luoluo finally understood why the little boy had always been so proud and arrogant; it was ingrained in his very being, or rather, it was part of his family's genes. Was this the Exquisite Bloodline? Chen Luoluo couldn't help but marvel at this supreme bloodline.
The brothers Lu Yi and Lu Ping also advanced from the sixth stage of the Bone Building Realm to the early stage of the Core Formation Realm.
At that moment, a flash of fire struck the camp's tent, and the tent was engulfed in flames in an instant...
