Ashen Dragon-Chapter 622 - 60 Dragon Blood and Promotion

"How interesting, to be able to eliminate chaos..."

Cassius touched the ground with the tip of his claw, digging out a piece of flesh from the dragon corpse sealed beneath the mountain.

"Boom!"

After all, it was the flesh of the frenzied Karex, tainted by The Abyss, containing destruction, chaotic power, and other complex forces.

As soon as it was removed from the Imperial Region’s restrictions, a dense black mist of chaos erupted from it.

Purple-black blood danced chaotically in midair, gradually coalescing into a fierce form, giving birth to a Dragon Blood Monster.

The creature was only three feet long, resembling a malformed Red Dragon, its body oozed with mucus, covered with five pairs of dense limbs, and three tattered black wings hung irregularly on its back.

It writhed violently on the ground, casting a venomous gaze toward Cassius, spitting venom capable of corroding rock, and emitting a piercing scream.

"Escape... you cannot escape..."

"You cannot escape..."

The voice was hoarse and sharp, as if scrap iron was grinding in its throat.

[Curse Pseudo Dragon] (Challenge Level: 3)

Cassius watched the monster born from the Dragon Blood, his eyes narrowing slightly, reflecting the image of the creature baring its teeth and claws.

"It seems I was not wrong; this is the curse left by Gelrazax just before his demise.

He must have known I would keep this dragon corpse, so he delayed in his final moments and injected a portion of his will and the vile curse of The Abyss into the blood.

If I had been as reckless as last time and devoured the Bloodline, I would probably have been invaded by the residual will of Gelrazax."

A glint of murderous intent flashed through Cassius’s pale golden vertical pupils, and his dragonic face suddenly became somewhat ferocious.

"Cannot escape..."

"Great... The Abyss..."

The screams of the Dragon Blood Monster continued, stammering and intermittent.

Cassius turned his head, scenes of the "Heart of Karex" affecting his mind, plunging him into chaos and frenzy, came to mind, eliciting a cold laugh from him.

"How cliché, Gelrazax. That’s so like you, trying to disgust me even in death.

But it’s just what I need; let me test the power of the Order Returning Breath."

The Red Dragon opened his mouth, a glimmer in his pupils, and suddenly, silver-white flames gushed from deep within his throat, enveloping the Dragon Blood Monster that was born.

"Roar—"

The silver-white flames roared fiercely, the Dragon Blood Monster writhing in the fire, lifting its head, flailing its deformed limbs, and emitting mournful howls.

However, under the flames embodying absolute Order, the monster’s struggle appeared so pale and powerless. It resisted desperately, slowly falling, melting away.

The burning lasted for dozens of minutes, and finally, under Cassius’s control, the silver-white flames gradually dissipated.

As flames that returned all things to order, the Order Returning Fire left no scorches, did not damage anything in the environment, everything around remained intact.

But the twisted, fierce Dragon Blood Monster had vanished, leaving just a drop of bright red blood in midair, exuding a faint aura of oppression.

"This is..."

Cassius’s eyes suddenly brightened, he leaned forward, closely observing the droplet.

In his eyes, this drop of blood contained terrifying energy and was spread with complex, root-like patterns—the legacy of the Ancestral Dragon.

Item Effects:

And a certain chance to gain Legendary Dragon Traits, Inheritance Magic.

"The method to deal with Karyx’s Body... isn’t this it?"

After reading these introductions, boundless ecstasy surged through Cassius’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but smile.

He swept his gaze over the droplet repeatedly with the Heaven’s Calamity Dragon Eye, True Vision Eye, and released the silver-white flames again for further purification.

After confirming there were no anomalies, Cassius slowly opened his mouth and swallowed this hard-won drop of Ancestral Dragon Blood.

"Hum—"

Immediately, a warm current flowed down his throat into the Red Dragon’s body, meandering through his veins, eventually merging into his scorching heart.

Cassius exhaled a breath full of hot sulfur, emitting a contented growl, white smoke billowed out of his neck and tail vents, spewing out sparks.

Flame rose from within his veins, the giant, powerful dragon body trembled slightly, an invisible aura of imposing pressure spread, chilling the hearts of creatures miles away.

This was the pressure of the Ancestral Dragon, beings that once ruled the skies and the land, incredibly powerful.

Although there was no notification on the panel, Cassius could feel enhancement in his strength, constitution, and even Spellcasting Ability.

And these were merely the effects brought by a single drop of [Pure Ancestor Dragon Blood].

"Very good, very good..."

Cassius’s voice was trembling, revealing endless excitement and joy.

Under the euphoria of this increase in power, the Red Dragon, in its greedy nature, couldn’t wait to devour the Ancestor Dragon’s body whole.
