Chapter 62: Chapter 61 Bloodline Dream Realm, Race Talent (Seeking Investment and Follow-up Readers)

Demon Beasts and humans have vastly different cultivation inheritances.

Powerful Demon Beasts can pass on their Innate Secret Skills and cultivation tomes through their bloodline to their descendants, who possess the same bloodline.

However, this inheritance is mostly sealed, and Demon Beast descendants with insufficient bloodline purity find it very difficult to accept profound inheritances.

To obtain this inheritance, Demon Beasts must continually enhance their cultivation, purify their bloodline, and then unlock the seals layer by layer.

Three days had passed since the Sect competition, and Hong Yuan had increased the transformation level of the Ice Armor Python to over 3,000 points.

[Mysterious Water Snake (Ice Armor Python 3005/10000)]

Just as he pushed the transformation level to over 3,000 points, Hong Yuan felt a strong wave of tiredness sweep over him.

The Demon Beast Hong Yuan swiftly swam back to his cave, which now resembled an ice cavern.

After sealing the entrance, Hong Yuan fell into a deep sleep.

...

When Hong Yuan opened his eyes and came to once again, he found himself in the Icy Pole World.

It was the very Icy Pole World he had entered when the term Ice Armor Python had first appeared.

In the Icy Pole World, snow blanketed everything, and it was perpetually frozen; ice peaks of varying heights dotted the landscape.

Some ice peaks reached into the Cloud Soar, while others were as low as dirt mounds.

HISSS~

Surveying this scene, Hong Yuan couldn’t help but flick his snake tongue out.

But as he did, Hong Yuan realized something was amiss.

His voice had completely changed!

Glancing down at the icy layer below, a drastically transformed serpent-like Demon Beast appeared before Hong Yuan’s eyes.

The python had a frosty white body covered in scales like iron armor; every iron-armor scale had a unique pattern that seemed to contain the mysteries of ice and snow, giving off an indestructible aura.

With its body stretched out, it was about fifteen meters long, significantly longer than the Mysterious Water Snake’s physique.

Ice Armor Python!

Hong Yuan had actually transformed into an Ice Armor Python!

Bloodline Dream Realm, the mysterious place where Demon Beasts pass on their Innate Secret Skills and cultivation tomes.

Hong Yuan instantly understood the situation he was in.

Recalling the miscellaneous books he had seen in the Book Pavilion, he quickly started to move around to adapt to his new body.

Once he had adapted, he would look for those Ice Armor Pythons that had been transformed from the Innate Secret Skills or cultivation tomes.

By defeating those Ice Armor Pythons, he would be able to gain the Ice Armor Python race’s Innate Abilities!

SWISH! SWISH!

Due to his experience controlling the Mysterious Water Snake Avatar, Hong Yuan quickly adapted to this Ice Armor Python body.

Then he cast various existing Innate Abilities and discovered that the Innate Abilities released by the Ice Armor Python form were much more powerful than those of the Mysterious Water Snake form.

A short while later, Hong Yuan swam towards those even colder mountain peaks.

No sooner had he moved away from this ice peak, than he saw an Ice Armor Python of an exaggerated size.

It coiled around the massive peak as if it covered the sky.

This could no longer be considered a pure Ice Armor Python—it was nearly evolved into a ferocious Flood Dragon!

Hong Yuan understood that it must be the most precious and strongest cultivation tome of the Ice Armor Python clan.

If I could defeat this Ice Armor Python that is transforming into a Flood Dragon, it would doubtlessly be much easier for me to become a sixth-order Desolate Beast. Hong Yuan thought to himself.

Shaking his python head, Hong Yuan began looking for other Ice Armor Pythons again.

Atop a medium-sized ice peak, Hong Yuan found a ten-meter-long Ice Armor Python that had its eyes tightly shut.

As soon as Hong Yuan entered the area, the Ice Armor Python suddenly opened its eyes and rushed straight toward him.

Its huge head, like the front of a train, charged with an intimidating momentum.

BOOM! BOOM-BOOM!

After the Ice Armor Python closed the distance with Hong Yuan, it condensed numerous massive icicles on both sides of its head, launching them towards Hong Yuan like a sword formation.

Seeing this, Hong Yuan quickly activated the Frost Armor technique.

A layer of Frost Armor adhered to Hong Yuan’s body. Unable to dodge in time, Hong Yuan was bombarded by the massive icicles, ultimately being blasted against a mountain peak.

Countless snowflakes fell, covering the front half of Hong Yuan’s body.

PUH!

Hong Yuan couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of green blood as his vision began to blur.

Feeling the change in his body, Hong Yuan’s complexion drastically changed.

The warm current in his python belly had actually decreased by a lot.

According to the information he had learned in the Book Pavilion, if he were to be defeated by this Ice Armor Python, he would likely miss this opportunity without gaining anything!

Hong Yuan very much wanted to flee from this place, to find a more suitable opponent to handle.

But he understood that he must deal with the Ice Armor Python before him; the warm current inside him was insufficient to support him in seeking out other Ice Armor Pythons manifested from secret techniques.

BZZZZ~

The Ice Armor Python in front continued to rigidly unleash its massive icicle assault on Hong Yuan; those massive icicles once again roared towards him like a sword formation.

Already on guard, Hong Yuan made a split-second decision to run. He burst through large snowdrifts, narrowly avoiding the Ice Armor Python’s attack.

Hong Yuan crushed many snow boulders, running along this mountain peak.

The Ice Armor Python behind persisted in its rigid release of massive icicles.

When Hong Yuan had put some distance between them, the Ice Armor Python once again picked up speed in pursuit.

Upon entering a certain attack range, it continued to launch massive icicles.

Hong Yuan kept collecting information on this Ice Armor Python, even as the warm current in his python belly constantly diminished. He still suppressed his emotions, coldly gathering intelligence, looking for an opportunity to strike.

Hong Yuan once again tapped into his body’s potential, bursting forth with extreme speed. His movements became unprecedentedly agile as he dodged numerous large snow boulders.

Hong Yuan’s speed was like a fierce Cold Wind, forcing the Ice Armor Python to chase after him, unable to properly execute its massive icicle attack on Hong Yuan.

Once he had a clear understanding of this Ice Armor Python’s rigid behavior and actions, Hong Yuan took the offensive!

Deadly Poison

Hong Yuan’s body suddenly bent forward and then arched back, curving his python neck. Purple venom shot out from his mouth, targeting the snowy ground ahead.

Two streams of venom struck the Ice Armor Python’s path, quickly melting the snow and ice.

SIZZLE...

Instantly, two pits appeared on the field. The Ice Armor Python, still following its rigid behavioral logic, continued its pursuit of Hong Yuan.

The ice peak beneath them shook as if an earthquake had struck, with booming noises all around.

Just as the Ice Armor Python passed over the two pits, it faltered. Its movements became twisted and deformed, forcing it to pause mid-air to readjust its posture.

Now’s the time! Hong Yuan thought to himself, then he unleashed his killer move.

Crazy Plants

A warmth surged in Hong Yuan’s python belly, and as he intentionally urged it on, it swiftly coursed through the snow on the ground.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A thick, long tree root suddenly protruded from the snow, extending and piercing heavily into the belly of the Ice Armor Python, which was stuck mid-air.

The frosty iron armor on the Ice Armor Python’s belly shattered, and the root continued to hammer into its flesh, burrowing deep within.

Seeing the trapped Ice Armor Python, Hong Yuan knew the battle was decided.

He seized the moment to unleash his techniques, finally slaying the Ice Armor Python before his own body completely blurred.

The dead Ice Armor Python transformed into a stream of white light, shooting towards Hong Yuan’s serpent body.

Having just received the technique inheritance, Hong Yuan’s form dissolved into white light.

Hong Yuan acquired a decent Life Talent from the Ice Armor Python species:
