Chapter 673: Bloodline Atavism, Nine-Faced Dragon God (First update, requesting all)
This is a flying dragon with golden patterns, its body length less than five meters; at a glance, it is clearly not yet an adult, only looking quite emaciated, giving one the feeling of skin and bones, and its mental state is extremely poor, its two eyes dull and lifeless.
What is rather peculiar is that there are two large fleshy growths on the sides of this flying dragon's head.
Originally, Li Zhangsheng thought this was just an ordinary top-grade Golden-Armored Flying Dragon; judging by the large fleshy growths, he thought it possessed the bloodline of a Three-Headed Dragon.
But when Li Zhangsheng finished reading its data, his mind went completely blank with a "buzz."
Li Zhangsheng had never seen such a Spirit Beast before; even counting the entire Fairy World, it was absolutely a one-of-a-kind existence.
【Spirit Beast Name】: Golden-Armored Flying Dragon (Growth Stage, Intermediate Exotic Beast)
【Spirit Beast Realm】: High-Rank 1st Stage
【Spirit Beast Race】: Perfect Commander
【Spirit Beast Quality】: Top-grade
【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Nine-Faced Dragon God (Pure)
【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Fire
【Spirit Beast Status】: Weak, malnourished
【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Fire
Damn it!
Bloodline Atavism!
In Li Zhangsheng's mind, he had the feeling of blaming his own lack of culture, only having "damn it" to cover everything.
However, anyone who saw the data for this Golden-Armored Flying Dragon would likely perform even worse than Li Zhangsheng.
Li Zhangsheng was stunned in shock; no matter what, he had never expected to encounter a Spirit Beast undergoing bloodline atavism here, and the atavistic bloodline was actually the Nine-Faced Dragon God!
Both being unique-natured Dragon Gods, the Nine-Faced Dragon God is a stronger existence than the Five-Colored Dragon Queen or the Bo Jin Long Shen; even among these unique existences, it is absolutely a top-tier one.
As mentioned earlier, Li Zhangsheng had seen records regarding bloodline metamorphosis, bloodline transition, and bloodline atavism in an ancient book.
Bloodline metamorphosis can allow a Spirit Beast to complete one evolution, which Li Zhangsheng's Crowned Flaming Bird experienced early on.
Bloodline transition can potentially allow a Spirit Beast to complete one or multiple evolutions, and Li Zhangsheng's Ancestral Leopard-Qilin Beast is a representative of this.
As for the final bloodline atavism, this is a special state more advanced than bloodline transition; a Spirit Beast in the state of bloodline atavism will evolve once every cycle, eventually having the chance to become its bloodline terminus.
Taking this Golden-Armored Flying Dragon as an example, if it is in a state of bloodline atavism, it will complete an evolution every period of time, eventually having the chance to evolve into its bloodline source—the Nine-Faced Dragon God.
Compared to bloodline metamorphosis and bloodline transition, the danger level of a Spirit Beast in bloodline atavism is much lower at the beginning, but it becomes more dangerous the further it goes, especially for a Spirit Beast like this Golden-Armored Flying Dragon undergoing atavism to the Nine-Faced Dragon God; it can be said that the mortality rate is very high.
Of course, if some Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure are used, the mortality rate of the bloodline atavism state can be effectively reduced.
If it were an ordinary Monster Tamer, they would not be able to see the content in the "..." like Li Zhangsheng, and naturally would be unable to maintain a good state for a Spirit Beast in bloodline atavism, easily missing the best timing for bloodline atavism.
Even if they knew in the end, they were often unable to provide for it, because every bloodline atavism requires massive amounts of energy to sustain the evolution, and the energy required increases even more terrifyingly than a geometric progression as it goes on.
But regardless, Li Zhangsheng hit the jackpot on this trip; this Golden-Armored Flying Dragon can truly be described as a priceless treasure.
Besides bloodline atavism, this is also a Golden-Armored Flying Dragon with a congenital deficiency, but Li Zhangsheng happens to have a Xuanqiong Five-Colored Glazed Fruit on hand, so there is no need to worry.
As for the two negative states of weakness and malnutrition, that is even simpler; just by resting for a period of time and replenishing sufficient energy and food, its state can be restored.
Judging from these two negative states, if there are no accidents, this Golden-Armored Flying Dragon should have completed a bloodline atavism recently, and it was the lack of energy that led to this state.
The Golden-Armored Flying Dragon is lucky, because if it had undergone bloodline atavism outside the cave, this Golden-Armored Flying Dragon would very likely have already died prematurely; now that it has met Li Zhangsheng, it can receive the best cultivation.
Even the Emperors and Sovereigns standing at the top of the pyramid are inferior to Li Zhangsheng in this regard.
Li Zhangsheng looked at the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon carefully and found that there was no mark of the Imperial Family on its body.
Roar~
Just as Li Zhangsheng was preparing to subdue this Golden-Armored Flying Dragon, suddenly, a Dragon Roar sounded from the depths of the cave, and immediately after, a behemoth flew over from the depths of the cavern.
This is a Demon King-level White Dragon over forty meters long, and the vast Dragon Might it radiates gives one a feeling of being as imposing as a prison.
Li Zhangsheng found it familiar; isn't this the Demon King-level White Dragon he had seen once in the Dragon Lair within the Core Royal Garden—Ruixifeierzi!
After more than three months, why did Ruixifeierzi run here?
Under Ruixifeierzi's Dragon Might, the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon was frightened into prostrating on the ground, its whole body trembling; its already poor state seemed to be even worse, giving the feeling that it might be scared to death.
There is no help for this; the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon is only at the Upper Realm, the gap between it and the Demon King-level White Dragon is simply too large, and dragons have a huge deterrent bonus against Sub-Dragons, plus its own state is very poor, so it really might be scared to death alive.
"Bastard!"
Li Zhangsheng cursed angrily; the Taiyin Token instantly appeared outside his body, landing on top of the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon's head, and silver moonlight wrapped around it.
Although the Taiyin Token could not completely exempt the Dragon Might, it also offset a portion of it, which allowed the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon to breathe a slight sigh of relief.
At the same time, the Blood-colored Hexagram flickered, and Kailan was summoned by him, charging straight toward Ruixifeierzi, who was preparing to escape through the side passage.
Li Zhangsheng did not care why Ruixifeierzi was fleeing in a panic; in any case, he wanted to defeat the opponent at the fastest speed and make it restrain its Dragon Might, so as not to scare his treasure.
After all, it is a Demon Beast, and Ruixifeierzi's senses are very keen; it did not discover Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen at the first moment, but it sensed the aggressive Kailan.
"What is going on?"
Ruixifeierzi was puzzled; ever since moving here, it would come out from the depths of the Dragon Lair to move around every once in a while, and by the way, intimidate those Pseudo-Dragons and Sub-Dragons; watching their trembling, terrified appearance, its mood would be quite comfortable.
It's just that today, there seems to have been an accident.
What made Ruixifeierzi suspicious was when another Demon Beast appeared in the Dragon Lair.
Ruixifeierzi only saw a green phantom, rushing toward it with the speed of a flash of light; because Kailan's speed was truly too fast, it naturally did not recognize it.
In an instant, Kailan raised the Green Giant Blade and slashed hard toward it.
Ruixifeierzi only had time to release a thick ice crystal shield, blocking the direction in which the giant blade was advancing.
Bang~ Crack~ Rip~
In an instant, Kailan slashed the ice crystal shield with one blade; under Ruixifeierzi's terrified gaze, the ice crystal shield only blocked it for a moment before being split in two by the Green Giant Blade, which continued to slash toward its head with undiminished momentum.
Ruixifeierzi subconsciously turned its head, and the Green Giant Blade brushed past its head, slashing fiercely into its shoulder blade area.
Crack~
Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, the Green Giant Blade sank deeply into Ruixifeierzi's shoulder, almost severing the entire shoulder off.
Pale blue dragon blood splashed, rapidly forming a blood pit on the ground.
Roar~
Ruixifeierzi let out a painful Dragon Roar, its eyes filled with terror, and hurriedly withdrew to retreat.
Even though the Ice Crystal Giant Shield and the Mystery Guard exempted most of the damage, it still nearly suffered heavy injuries.
The power of this blade strike was terrifying to this extent!
"Wait, wait, let's talk this over! Eh, why is it you!!"
Seeing that Kailan had the intention to strike again, Ruixifeierzi subconsciously cowered, fearing being killed by Kailan. But when it saw Kailan's appearance, it was instantly stunned.
Ruixifeierzi naturally had a deep impression of Kailan; after all, her master had extorted three treasures from it, which could be said to be the pain of its life.
It had only been a little over three months, yet Kailan had already advanced from the Lord rank to the Demon King rank; her strength was already this powerful.
What made it suspicious and uncertain was that since Kailan was here, that guy must be nearby.
Ruixifeierzi also thought of a possibility: since Li Changsheng's Demon Pet had advanced to the Demon King rank, he must have advanced again as well.
Patter~
At this moment, Li Changsheng and Ning Bizhen walked over together, gazing at the Demon King rank white dragon before them.
"It's you again, no, don't come over!"
As soon as it saw Li Changsheng, Ruixifeierzi shuddered all over, its heart filled with unease.
Ruixifeierzi naturally understood the rules of the King's Secret Realm; Li Changsheng was not a member of the Imperial Family, yet he could enter the King's Secret Realm, which could only mean he had obtained the qualification to contract a Demon Pet.
What made Ruixifeierzi feel extremely panicked was that the rules of the King's Secret Realm were the same as the Core Royal Garden; Li Changsheng could completely replicate the script from back then and extort it again.
Li Changsheng looked at Ruixifeierzi and said, "Ruixifeierzi, I didn't expect us to meet again. It seems we are quite fated!"
"Fated my foot!"
Ruixifeierzi felt powerless to retort in its heart, but it dared not say it out loud; it was scared to death of Li Changsheng, as this guy might really kill it on the spot.
"This little dragon and Your Excellency Li Changsheng are indeed very fated. I didn't expect that after just over three months, Your Excellency would advance further; it is truly worth celebrating! To congratulate Your Excellency on becoming a Pseudo-King, this little dragon has specially prepared a grand gift, guaranteed to be to Your Excellency's liking!"
Ruixifeierzi acted very humbly; it lay listlessly on the ground, but its Longyan rolled around, not knowing what kind of scheme it was plotting.
It seems no one guessed it this time!
Today's goal: Three, pigs, proof!
