Chapter 1158: Wild Dragon Snake Tribulation Success, Bloodline Mutation

Longshe Shan summit.

Upon returning, Chen Chuyang immediately took the Wild Dragon Snake and left Longshe Shan, arriving at the old tribulation site; this place had become a required location for tribulation, the surroundings filled with tribulation lightning energy, the invisible energy radiating affected the area, forcibly turning it into a land of lightning.

The lightning around continuously influenced and continually changed the surroundings; it can be said that all this was caused by Chen Chuyang. This time, he came here again to undergo tribulation, but it was not him undergoing tribulation, rather the Wild Dragon Snake undergoing tribulation.

Releasing the Wild Dragon Snake, Chen Chuyang instructed: "Next, when you undergo tribulation, you can rely only on yourself; these are a few pills—if you cannot endure, take these few pills, they will help you survive the tribulation lightning."

The Wild Dragon Snake nodded, then faced the tribulation lightning; the heavenly tribulation lightning sensed its aura and immediately came for it.

The bloodline tribulation, the core-formation tribulation, the tribulation belonging to the Wild Dragon Snake—its scale is not small, far more terrifying than human tribulation, after all the Wild Dragon Snake's bloodline is not inferior, having fused with Azure Dragon bloodline, causing its bloodline to rise another dimension; the fusion of many bloodlines caused its own bloodline to mutate, far surpassing its mother's bloodline in strength.

In the future, its bloodline holds hope of advancing to Tianwai; if the Wild Dragon Snake cultivates steadily, it can still enter Tianwai within a century, and Chen Chuyang is very optimistic about it—of course, the premise is that it passes the tribulation, not fails it.

Failure cases are not nonexistent; indeed there are many. In this world, many core-formation tribulations fail, with a probability exceeding fifty percent—this is after Chen Chuyang changed the odds; previously the odds were lower, with a success rate of only twenty to thirty percent, and raising it to fifty percent shows that the overall strength of this world is increasing.

The world is changing, spiritual energy is changing, and naturally it will become stronger as well.

Moreover, cultivation methods, pills, and so on—after integrating resources, many people's cultivation paths have become much easier; this is also what Chen Chuyang hoped to see, especially in those earlier years when many geniuses were born; after that batch of geniuses arrived, they received good training, and the cultivation environment greatly improved.

Boom—

The tribulation lightning descended, and the Wild Dragon Snake went forth to meet it.

Commendable courage, Chen Chuyang nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, commendable courage, much stronger than those hesitant demon beasts."

"Being able to overcome the tribulation lightning is best, but not everyone can overcome it."

"The tribulation lightning of heaven and earth is too overwhelming a deterrent for demon beasts; a slight mistake means death."

"The core-formation tribulation lightning is not fearsome; the Wild Dragon Snake's bloodline will, under the forging of the tribulation lightning, fuse into one, truly completing its metamorphosis; its ambition is not small, that is how it should be—any person, any demon beast, should have ambition, not fear everything."

Chen Chuyang admired the Wild Dragon Snake, after all it was the one he personally raised; although he seldom managed it, most of the resources and various good things, Chen Chuyang did not stint on it.

This can be said to repay the grace of his mother's inner core and flesh from back then, after all he obtained the Wild Dragon Snake's inner core, merged it with himself, thus making rapid progress; this debt of gratitude, Chen Chuyang naturally will not forget, and toward the Wild Dragon Snake's offspring, Chen Chuyang naturally will not be stingy.

"Back then, without your mother's inner core and flesh, I might not have what I have today; at the very least, I would not have risen so quickly."

"This debt of gratitude, I can consider it repaid—I helped you raise your bloodline, let you fuse with Azure Dragon bloodline, and also refined your own bloodline several times, which also counts as having done right by you."

After the Wild Dragon Snake's inner core merged with his body, it provided great benefits; his physique could attain today's strength, and the Wild Dragon Snake's inner core was indispensable.

Thinking of the Wild Dragon Snake, Chen Chuyang thought back to those days of hesitant behavior, truly sigh-worthy.

Roar.

The dragon's roar shook heaven and earth; under the tribulation lightning, that silhouette gradually grew larger.

Upon closer look, there was the silhouette of his mother from back then; the Wild Dragon Snake had unknowingly grown large, grown much larger.

Chen Chuyang felt greatly relieved, watching it undergo tribulation, struck by lightning time and again.

The Wild Dragon Snake felt no fear, going forth to meet the tribulation lightning.

Each time it fell, it rose again, charging forward, attempting thereby to dispel its own fear of the tribulation lightning—this was its trust in itself.

The tribulation lightning in the sky gradually dissipated, and the dark clouds also began to disperse.

Chen Chuyang knew the tribulation was complete, the Wild Dragon Snake had passed, needing no pills, directly withstanding the tribulation lightning with its flesh.

Thud.

The Wild Dragon Snake's body fell to the ground, the tribulation lightning scattered.

Its inner core, its bloodline, began to metamorphose.

The dark clouds in the sky must not be wasted; Chen Chuyang opened his mouth and swallowed them in one gulp, turning all the tribulation lightning into his thunder-law energy.

The sky cleared, Chen Chuyang appeared beside the Wild Dragon Snake, not making a move but standing aside to watch; the Wild Dragon Snake's body began to metamorphose, swelling, swelling, continually swelling.

Its size doubled, and it continued to expand.

This step is no easy feat; the increase in size signifies that its strength and bloodline are still rising.

Its aura of pressure began to spread.

This process lasted three days and three nights, with Chen Chuyang staying nearby, acting as its Dharma Protector.

On the fourth day, the Wild Dragon Snake successfully shed its skin; a brand-new body appeared, with a hint of azure, clearly having fused with Azure Dragon bloodline, forming a wholly new mutant bloodline, a mutant Wild Dragon Snake; two horns emerged on its head, bulging out, not yet fully formed horns, but close.

The Wild Dragon Snake raised its head, its eyes expressing gratitude to Chen Chuyang; its body began to shrink, able to control its own form—this is its own divine ability.

Its body shrank, staying by Chen Chuyang's side, as thick as a bent arm.

It constantly sought to please Chen Chuyang; obviously it knew Chen Chuyang's kindness toward it, and naturally remained affectionate toward Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chuyang also carried the scent of its mother; the Wild Dragon Snake knew Chen Chuyang was not its mother.

"Since you have passed the tribulation, you should be able to speak now, right?"

After core formation, a demon beast's spiritual intellect greatly increases, and it can also speak.

The tribulation lightning can refine its hyoid bone; Chen Chuyang saw it remained silent and thought it could not speak.

The Wild Dragon Snake opened its mouth and timidly shouted: "Master."

Hearing this, Chen Chuyang stroked its head and said satisfactorily: "Good, from now on remember to call me master; I am not your mother."

The Wild Dragon Snake nodded; it naturally knew that, since birth, it had regarded Chen Chuyang as its mother, a matter deeply etched in its memory.

Chen Chuyang too—how could a proper man become a mother?

"Yes, master." Its voice was soft, full of timidity.

"Let's go, heading back." Chen Chuyang collected the skin shed by the Wild Dragon Snake; this is valuable material, not to be discarded.

It can be refined into a Spiritual Artifact, top-tier material for crafting.
