Absolute Resonance Chapter 1225: Dragon Blood Atavism Art

Chapter 1225: Dragon Blood Atavism Art

"Great Dragon Nascent Soul Art, quasi-Destiny-grade. Along with other materials, one uses their dragon blood as a catalyst to create a nascent soul. This allows one to raise their dragon resonance that is below the lower ninth-grade by half a grade. Sixty thousand dragon essence.

"Dragon Rearing Art, lower Destiny-grade. This requires one to possess a wood resonance. One can inject dragon's blood into their wood resonance and raise a real blood dragon. This blood dragon can protect the user and even battle the enemy amongst many other uses. Ninety thousand dragon essence.

"Dragon Blood Atavism Art, upper Destiny-grade. Allows one to trace back to the source of their bloodline, transforming into a Heavenly Dragon and gaining all of the Heavenly Dragon's might. 150,000 dragon essence."

Li Luo was dumbfounded as he stared at the three crimson jade tablets in front of his eyes. His breathing had become heavier from the inflow of new information. He had come across many enchanting Duke Arts on his way here, but the three scrolls in front of him were in a cla.s.s of their own. Even the quasi-Destiny-grade Great Dragon Nascent Soul Art was multiple times stronger than the ones he had come across so far.

Destiny-grade—true to the label, each Duke Art of that grade was powerful enough to change one's destiny.

"Increasing all dragon resonances under the lower ninth grade by half a grade..." Li Luo swallowed his saliva. This included the quasi ninth-grade, right? It was truly rare for a quasi-Destiny-grade Duke Art to have such a spectacular effect.

Although it was just an improvement of half a grade, the impact was significant.

"The Dragon Rearing Art too... It's unique and requires one to have a wood resonance... Isn't it perfect for me? As for the Dragon Blood Atavism Art, the Heavenly Dragon energy within my blood is really pure. If I cultivated this art, would I regress into a real Heavenly Dragon?"

The last one made Li Luo shake in excitement. He had only experienced a half-dragon state when he borrowed the power of the True Dragon Pill. Back then, his strength, defenses, and speed had experienced an astonis.h.i.+ng boost. If the half-dragon state was that strong, how terrifying would a real Heavenly Dragon state be? Originally, Li Luo was very satisfied with the Dragon Blood Affliction Art. However, the three Destiny-grade Duke Arts had shown him how different things could be.

It was no wonder the Dragon's Blood Lineage had always maintained their position as the Mountain Ruling Lineage. Their foundation was truly stronger than that of the Dragon's Fang Lineage.

Upper Destiny-grade. This was the highest-grade Duke Art that Li Luo had ever seen apart from the Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation, which couldn't really be cla.s.sified.

It was said that the Dragon's Blood Lineage had a real Transcendent-grade Duke Art created by the Ancestor himself. It was only accessible to the five Lineage Chiefs though, so the Dragon's Blood Lineage did not store it in the Heavenly Dragon Treasury.

"I want to take all of them so badly!"

Li Luo's heart was pounding in his chest. After a while, he sighed regretfully. Right now, he did not even have a single bit of dragon essence on hand. Even the Dragon Blood Affliction Art would be taken on credit. No matter how much he wanted the Destiny-grade Duke Arts, it was simply impossible for him to get them.

Nonetheless, he now had something to look forward to. Once he had acc.u.mulated enough dragon essence, he would come back to take them home.

"I am getting my hands on the Dragon Blood Atavism Art no matter what!"

Li Luo cheered himself on in his heart. He could pa.s.s on the other two Duke Arts, but the Dragon Blood Atavism Art was simply too tempting. He knew that the purity of his Heavenly Dragon Blood was somewhat unmatched, so he felt that this art was a perfect fit for him.

Of course, the other two were well suited to him as well.

Li Luo took a second look at the three crimson jade tablets before he summoned up all his willpower, turned around, and left. The feeling of being watched was becoming more evident with the increased pressure applied upon him. They were clearly sending a message and telling him to not be blinded by his greed.

Nonetheless, Li Luo would not give up. Apart from breaking into Duke Stage as fast as possible, he had gained another goal in his time with the Dragon's Fang Guardians.

He needed to earn enough dragon essence and buy the Dragon Blood Atavism Art.

......

While Li Luo was choosing his Duke Art, Jiang Qing'e had walked out of the Bergfried Arts PaG.o.da. She had chosen a middle-grade Duke Bergfried Art that cost eighteen thousand dragon essence.

It was known as the Great Sunlotus Bergfried Art. Jiang Qing'e had chosen it because it could be cultivated into an improved version known as the Nine Great Sunlotuses Bergfried Art that was considered an upper-grade Duke Bergfried Art. That one cost thirty thousand dragon essence, so she was unable to get her hands on it at the moment.

However, there was no rush; Duke Bergfried Arts were just a bonus for Jiang Qing'e.

When she noticed that Li Luo still wasn't out, she sneakily went into the Foundational Spirit Treasures PaG.o.da to have a look.

The items in the Foundational Spirit Treasures PaG.o.da glowed the brightest. There were rows of jade shelves full of objects that shone resplendently. Within these glowing lights were all kinds of ancient and precious Foundational Spirit Treasures.

Jiang Qing'e walked down the shelves and did not pause to look at the Foundational Spirit Treasures that were lower or middle-grade. She made her way straight into the upper-grade Foundational Spirit Treasure area.

For Dukes, Foundational Spirit Treasures were far more important than Duke Bergfried Arts. At times, cultivating a top-cla.s.s Foundational Spirit Treasure would result in an extraordinary ability.

Jiang Qing'e was not thinking of herself as she studied the Foundational Spirit Treasures. Rather, she was thinking of Li Luo.

She was very well aware of how precious the Nine Marks Sacred Heart Lotus was. It was something that could’ve been extremely beneficial for Li Luo himself as well. However, Li Luo had no second thoughts when he gave it to her to treat her injuries.

Jiang Qing'e might not have expressed it openly, but she was incredibly grateful. Li Luo was going to break into the Duke Stage soon and would require some kind of Foundational Spirit Treasure. She had followed Li Luo to the World End's River Region partly to help him find one.

There wasn't much to see in the upper-grade area. Although there were around a dozen shelves, Jiang Qing'e was a little disappointed after looking through them. These treasures were great for ordinary folks, but Li Luo had exceptional potential and ambition. There was also the motivation to match her Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried. As such, most of these upper-grade Foundational Spirit Treasures were simply not good enough.

It seemed she would need to find a top-grade Foundational Spirit Treasure.

However, there were only upper-grade ones here. Not a single top-grade one was in sight.

Jiang Qing'e sighed a little in her heart. She looked at the last jade shelf at the end of the row. There was a small tree that looked like it was made of gla.s.s. The tree was bathed in an extraordinary radiance with a hint of a mysterious charm.

The only caveat was that the tree was completely bare. It seemed to have lost all of its vitality.

As Jiang Qing'e studied the small tree, her eyes suddenly lit up. She whispered to herself, "Is this... a Divine Spirit Treasure Tree?"

Her heart skipped a beat as she reached out for the jade tablet to read up on it.

The Divine Spirit Treasure Tree was originally a top-grade Foundational Spirit Treasure. However, its origin was corrupted by a True Devil Other, so its grade fell to the upper-grade. Forty thousand dragon essence.

"I knew it..." Jiang Qing'e recalled that this Divine Spirit Treasure Tree was extremely rare. How could it be a mere upper-grade Foundational Spirit Treasure? Its origin had been corrupted, which led to its qualities deteriorating.

"An item ruined by a True Devil Other... If we can cleanse its corruption, this item will definitely revert to top-grade." Jiang Qing'e eyes flickered and a sense of joy swelled within her heart. This was truly a pleasant surprise.

"Forty thousand dragon essence..."

Jiang Qing'e took another look at the Divine Spirit Treasure Tree. Now she knew what she had to do.

......

At the same time

Li Luo, who was still thinking of the Dragon Blood Atavism Art, was making his way out with the Dragon's Blood Lineage Duke Art. However, two people appeared in front of him and blocked his path.

He looked up and saw a girl and a boy. The girl was clearly the leader of the duo.

Li Luo took a glance at the girl with a pointed chin. She looked like the type who was really difficult to deal with, and he could guess her ident.i.ty.

Li Hongque from the Dragon's Blood Guardians.

Li Luo could see some similarities between her and Li Hongyou and Li Hongli.

At this point, Li Hongque looked indifferently at Li Luo as she lightly moved her red lips.

"Grand Commander Li Luo, may we have a word?"
