Chapter 346: Chapter 343: Complete Dragon Transformation

Hisss, Hisss, Hisss...

The Bloodline Crystal, crushed by flesh and blood, cracked inch by inch, eventually shattering into pieces and completely melting into his flesh as if it had been dissolved.

Seeing this scene, a hint of shock surged in Hei Sha’s eyes, but it quickly turned into mockery, "I thought you had some astonishing trick up your sleeve, but it turns out to be such a foolish act. Do you really think you can refine Elder Jingzhe’s Bloodline Power so casually? You’re courting death."

The mocking smile on Hei Sha’s lips grew even thicker; he had thought Ye Xuan was going to do something drastic, only to find out it was a suicidal tactic. It was well known amongst the Demon Clan that the devouring of a Bloodline Power was not something that could be accomplished easily. The more powerful the bloodline, the more difficult it was to consume and refine. For a low-level demon with a Bloodline Power to attempt refining a higher-level one required a great deal of effort and the assistance of many things. The brute force method that Ye Xuan was employing, apart from harming himself, would achieve no effect at all.

According to the information he had gathered about Ye Xuan, the latter only possessed an Upper Grade Innate bloodline and yet aimed to easily swallow up Elder Jingzhe’s Bloodline. It was nothing but a fool’s dream.

Elder Jingzhe’s Bloodline was at the very least Upper Grade, and very likely Top-grade. To think that Ye Xuan could swallow it easily was foolish; he might even suffer a backlash and end up dying in an unsightly manner.

Beside him, Red Spider was also somewhat amused, watching Ye Xuan as if wanting to see just what kind of embarrassing state he would end up in.

"Perhaps I’ll disappoint you..."

Ye Xuan’s expression remained unchanged; his hands came together, immediately forming a series of intricate Hand Seals. Then, inside his body, there seemed to erupt a flood of extremely terrifying and monstrous energy fluctuations. Under the impact of that formidable energy, his skin flushed with a wave of crimson.

Hisss, Hisss...

Veins bulged on the surface of his body as if he were undergoing an expansion, particularly at the spot over his heart where he had embedded the Bloodline Crystal; the energy boiled fiercely as if it intended to burst through and tear his chest open.

"Hmph, digging your own grave."

Seeing this, Hei Sha’s eyes carried an even colder smirk, waiting to see the moment when Ye Xuan’s body exploded in death.

"Suppress it for me!"

Ye Xuan let out a cold shout. As his Hand Seals rapidly changed like lightning, the Demon Dragon Bloodline deep within him exploded forth, swiftly surging towards the position of his heart, forcefully suppressing the restless energy of Elder Jingzhe’s Bloodline.

Strands of dark golden Dragon Scales rapidly grew on Ye Xuan’s body, and his aura became much more aggressive. The concentrated Demon Energy that had been hidden within him finally erupted forth.

Amidst this significant transformation, the previously tumultuous chest area of Ye Xuan gradually calmed down; the violent energy seemed to slowly quieten...

"Sorry, this bit of Bloodline Power doesn’t seem to trouble me..."

Ye Xuan raised his head, his eyes gleaming with Aggressive Energy as he gazed at Hei Sha and Red Spider before him, his lips curving into a smirk.

"This damn thing..."

Hei Sha and Red Spider looked at Ye Xuan, whose aura had suddenly surged by more than fifty percent, with extremely gloomy expressions. Underneath their gloominess was a sense of disbelief. They simply could not believe that Ye Xuan had actually managed to suppress that Bloodline Power.

Hei Sha’s gaze turned icy; he felt a surge of deep apprehension. Everything that Ye Xuan was displaying made him very uneasy. If such an abnormal individual were allowed to grow, he would undoubtedly become a grave threat that could easily exterminate him in the future!

This genius who had even crippled the Demon Dragon Young Master was indeed not to be underestimated.

"I must deal with him this time!"

With that thought, his heart was soon filled with a spreading chill. His eyes glinted, murderous intent surging forth. He then let out a strange roar, bending forward and crouching down as a layer of black scales enveloped his body. Lizard-like horns, a large tail, extended from him, and his tongue elongated to half a meter, curling inside his mouth.

On the other side, seeing Hei Sha transform into a demonic creature, Red Spider’s expression turned cold. Then, the bones behind her back began cracking and popping, eight spider legs breaking through the flesh. Her body was enveloped in blood-red demonic power that swirled and condensed, forming dense, web-like patterns of Demon Energy in the air.

Looking at the demonically-transformed Hei Sha and Red Spider, Ye Xuan’s eyes remained as still as an ancient well. His voice, slightly ice-cold, finally came out, "Since things have progressed this far, there’s no need to hide any longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp glint flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. He abruptly shook his arms, dark golden light burst forth, his arms writhing rapidly before transforming into two ferocious dragon limbs. Almost simultaneously, a pair of wide metallic dragon wings and an immensely powerful dragon tail also broke through his body.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Xuan had transformed into a dragon-man, with dark golden radiance coursing throughout his body, exuding an overpowering sense of strength.

"Today, the two of you will leave your lives here."

Ye Xuan’s eyes were filled with the intent to kill. His dragon wings flapped, and his body slowly lifted off the ground, emotionlessly eyeing Hei Sha and Red Spider.

"Such a terrifying pressure, what kind of background does this kid really have!"

Staring at Ye Xuan, who was strikingly imposing before her, Red Spider too was visibly shaken. From Ye Xuan, she felt a pressure that came from a higher-ranking bloodline, a pressure that was innate rather than achieved through years of cultivation, and it seemed to naturally overpower her.

Ye Xuan, as if he were a born ruler, even with far lesser cultivation than hers, seemed to tower above, unreachably high.

"That bastard Hei Sha."

Red Spider had silently cursed Hei Sha a thousand times over. That bastard had not informed her beforehand that Ye Xuan’s bloodline was of such a high grade. Had she known earlier, no matter what rewards were offered to her, she would never have gotten involved in this mess.

But now that she had become enemies with Ye Xuan, it was too late for regrets. She had no choice but to fight with all her might.

"How is this possible, your bloodline is so strong, you must have been hiding it on purpose. I must report this to the Demon Dragon Venerable, and thoroughly investigate your background."

Hei Sha was inexplicably shocked. Ye Xuan’s bloodline was so strong it couldn’t possibly just be of the Upper Grade Innate level. This guy, he had hidden so well. His identity must be fishy, and he absolutely had to inform the Demon Dragon Venerable.

"I’m afraid you won’t get the chance."

Since Ye Xuan had come this far, he did not plan to leave any loose ends. Today, both of these individuals had to disappear completely.

Whoosh!

Stepping into the void, Ye Xuan’s figure suddenly blurred. After undergoing demonization, his strength had more than doubled, and his agility and defense had greatly increased. After executing the Taiching Spirit Void Step, his speed surged, and in mid-air, only the gradually dispersing phantom images remained.

"Danger!"

Hei Sha’s pupils constricted as a sense of danger surged in his heart. His eyes flashed and then he threw a punch forward, which met Ye Xuan’s figure appearing just ahead. Ye Xuan’s arm, gleaming like metal, collided fiercely with Hei Sha’s fist.

Boom!

At the moment of their fists’ contact, a ripple of power visible to the naked eye erupted instantly, distorting the surrounding space almost immediately.

Hei Sha’s expression changed dramatically the instant his fist made contact with Ye Xuan. It was only then that he could sense the violent power contained beneath that dark golden Dragon Scales.

Under that power, Hei Sha’s fist energy was quickly nullified, and ultimately, it completely collapsed under his grim expression.

Splurt!

Hei Sha’s face paled immediately, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood, his figure flying back in disarray.

Even in his demonized state, Hei Sha was no match for a punch from Ye Xuan. The gap in strength between them was clear!

However, after injuring Hei Sha with another punch, Ye Xuan didn’t have time to feel satisfied. He felt the attack coming from behind: a series of silent, sticky spider webs that stealthily clung to his limbs. A dense web completely stuck to Ye Xuan, binding him tightly.

"Kid, you’re done for!"

Ye Xuan glanced back and could see the ferocious expression on Red Spider’s ugly face. With a wave of her hand, a spear made of toxic spikes formed and with Red Spider’s fierce thrust, it shot violently toward Ye Xuan’s back.

Feeling the sharpness of this poisonous spear, Ye Xuan struggled against the binding web. However, the web’s adhesive strength was incredibly tenacious. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t break free immediately, and could only watch as the toxin-tipped spear shot toward him.

"You little bastard, you’ve been careless, die for me!"

Hei Sha, who had been severely wounded by Ye Xuan’s attack and was now weak, retrieved some excitement. He frantically summoned the remaining demonic power in his body, prepared for a life-or-death struggle, a dagger appearing in his hand as he leaped toward Ye Xuan.

"Seeking death."

Ye Xuan’s eyes sharpened. He suddenly stopped struggling and took a deep breath. In the next moment, a dazzling dark golden light burst from the dragon wings on his back. The dragon wings suddenly contracted, perfectly merging with his body and leaving no gaps, transforming into a dark golden dragon shield with an extremely refined glow.

Clang!

A grating metallic sound erupted when the poison spear came into contact with Ye Xuan. Under that impact, the dragon shield on Ye Xuan’s back cracked, but after penetrating the shield’s defense, the internal layer of Dragon Scales remained impenetrable, keeping the toxins out.
