Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

Ye Wushuang hadn’t expected a single Top-Grade Spirit Stone to cause such a stir. Even the shopkeeper had come in person.

"Valued guests, these are the three best rooms in our establishment. I hope you will find them to your liking. Also, if you have any other requests, we are at your beck and call."

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with a goatee. His eyes were small, yet they twinkled with a shrewd light.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper."

Ye Wushuang gave a faint smile, then called out to Lan Xinyu and Xiaoo Yue, "You two go check out your rooms as well!"

The two nodded in agreement and entered their respective rooms.

The three rooms were adjacent. Lan Xinyu’s room was right next to Ye Wushuang’s, which was rather convenient.

Watching the three enter their rooms, the shopkeeper said to the attendant, "Take good care of this young master!"

With that, he departed, clutching the Top-Grade Spirit Stone. He could feel the terrifying Spiritual Qi contained within, and a look of delight spread across his face.

In his room, Ye Wushuang sat cross-legged on the bed.

He had originally planned to walk around Nanyang City and ask about the Nirvana Cave Mansion, but it was already late. He would have to wait until tomorrow.

After regulating his breathing for a moment, Ye Wushuang’s Divine Sense entered the Chaos Space.

He hadn’t checked on it for a while, and the Chaos Space had grown quite a bit. As his Cultivation increased, new plots of land had also appeared.

"Kid, you’re here!"

The Dragon Cat called out languidly from its spot atop the altar. Its body had gotten another size fatter.

Ye Wushuang suspected that if this continued, ’this thing is going to turn into a meatball’.

Walking toward the altar, Ye Wushuang headed straight for the Dragon Blood Pool.

However, when he looked at the once-full pool, not a single drop remained!

Ye Wushuang whipped his head around and stared at the Dragon Cat.

"Lord Cat... Lord Cat saw this whole pool of Dragon Blood just sitting here, going to waste, so I kindly helped you put it to good use. No need to thank Lord Cat. Lord Cat is just that helpful."

The Dragon Cat’s shifty eyes darted about as it snickered, utterly unaware of how shameless its words sounded!

The corner of Ye Wushuang’s mouth twitched. ’This creature’s shamelessness is simply unprecedented.’

’Helping me put it to good use? Being helpful? It actually had the nerve to say that!’

Previously, the creature had used up half the Dragon Blood, and Ye Wushuang thought it might show some restraint after that.

But with a whole pool of Dragon Blood right in front of it, how could it possibly hold back?!

No wonder it had gotten a size fatter!

Even though the Dragon Blood in the Dragon Blood Pool was diluted, it was still Dragon Blood—a heaven-defying substance potent enough to drive people mad.

And this thing had devoured every last drop!

Moreover, it had been nearly two months, which meant the creature had consumed the Dragon Blood twice now!

"Kid, in another two days, a month will be up, and the Dragon Blood Pool will have more."

The Dragon Cat’s shifty eyes darted. A Jade Talisman suddenly appeared in its paw, and it tossed the talisman to Ye Wushuang, saying, "But Lord Cat doesn’t take your things for free. This is for you. It can kill anyone in the Yin Yang Realm. I guarantee it’s more precious than two pools of Dragon Blood!"

Ye Wushuang caught the Jade Talisman and examined it. Just like the Earth Escape Talisman the Dragon Cat had given him before, it was another Talisman.

The only difference was that this Talisman had sparks of electricity flashing across it!

"This is a Thunder Tribulation Talisman. It’s a Talisman created when a Nirvana Powerhouse, while undergoing their tribulation, uses a special method to forcibly collect Tribulation Thunder Power. Killing anyone in the Yin Yang Realm with it is a piece of cake,"

the Dragon Cat explained.

"It can kill anyone in the Yin Yang Realm?" Ye Wushuang was startled, his curiosity about this Talisman piqued.

Although it was a single-use item, its terrifying power was unimaginable.

’If I could learn to create them myself, it would be a huge asset.’

"Kid, don’t get your hopes up. The art of carving Talismans is exceedingly rare, even in the Nine Heavens Domain. And even if you could, you’d only be able to make low-grade Talismans like this one," the Dragon Cat said.

"You’re saying this Thunder Tribulation Talisman is just a low-grade Talisman?!"

Ye Wushuang was shocked. ’A Talisman that can kill a Yin Yang Realm powerhouse is only considered low-grade? Then just how terrifying must a high-grade Talisman be?’

"A true Talisman can extinguish saints and perform Heaven-Slaying feats. Moreover, it can condense eight or nine identical attacks onto a single Talisman."

The Dragon Cat seemed to know a few things about Talismans and continued to explain, "Kid, if you were to obtain the Seal Carving Technique, your strength would increase by at least a whole level. Unfortunately, it’s extremely rare even in the Nine Heavens Domain."

"Then where did you get your Talismans?" Ye Wushuang stared at the Dragon Cat. ’This thing seems to be hiding quite a few treasures.’

"Kid, Lord Cat found this Talisman in an Earth Palace. I couldn’t even bear to use it myself. I’ve given you my very last Life-Saving Talisman."

As if it knew what Ye Wushuang was planning to do next, the Dragon Cat blurted out an excuse, then vanished from the altar in a flash, leaving no trace behind.

"None left, huh?" The corner of Ye Wushuang’s mouth curled up. ’I’d have to be a real idiot to believe a word this thing says.’

Gazing at the Thunder Tribulation Talisman, Ye Wushuang’s eyes sharpened. With this trump card, he no longer had to worry about some shameless Yin Yang Realm expert trying to make a move on him.

After putting away the Thunder Tribulation Talisman, Ye Wushuang turned his gaze to the altar, to the four stone pillars carved with draconic reliefs.

The Heaven-Devouring Dragon Secret was recorded on these four stone pillars.

’I wonder if my current Cultivation is enough to unlock the second Dragon Secret!’

Ye Wushuang murmured to himself, and with a thought, his Divine Sense probed one of the stone pillars.

"The Heaven-Devouring Dragon Secret’s Dragon Transformation!"

An endless stream of information instantly rushed into Ye Wushuang’s mind.

The two words "Dragon Transformation" made his heart tremble.

Dragon Transformation was the first and most important secret of the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Secret. It was divided into three steps: Flood Dragon Embryo, Dragonoid Form, and True Dragon Body, with the ultimate goal of forging a True Dragon Body.

The True Dragon Body was the foundation for transforming into a Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon. Without cultivating Dragon Transformation, one could never hope to become a Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon in the later stages.

Therefore, Dragon Transformation was the most crucial element of the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique.

’Dragon Transformation, Flood Dragon Embryo... Does this mean if I cultivate it, I can transform into a Flood Dragon?’

Ye Wushuang wondered, feeling a surge of excitement he could barely contain.

To transform into a Flood Dragon, soar through the Nine Heavens, and battle against heaven and earth—that was surely something every Cultivator deeply desired.

’Just two more days. Once the Dragon Blood Pool replenishes its Dragon Blood, it will help me cultivate the Flood Dragon Embryo. I can’t wait to see what kind of changes will happen then!’

A gleam flickered in Ye Wushuang’s eyes.

He suppressed the joy in his heart and held off on cultivating Dragon Transformation. He would wait. In two days, the results would be clear.

With that, he withdrew his Divine Sense and resumed circulating the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique to continue his Cultivation.

A night passed. Ye Wushuang’s eyes snapped open, a sharp light bursting forth. His aura had changed once more.

As if sensing something, he got up and opened the door. Xiaoo Yue was standing right outside.

"Where’s Xinyu?"

Ye Wushuang glanced at the adjacent room, his brow furrowing.

"Master, Miss Lan woke up early. Seeing that you were still in the middle of your Cultivation, she went out. She said she was going to ask about the Nanyang Guard and told me to wait here for you,"

Xiaoo Yue said respectfully.

’Why is she asking about the Nanyang Guard?’

Ye Wushuang pondered for a moment, then strode downstairs and headed outside.

However, the moment he stepped out the door, his expression sank.
