Each elder glared fiercely,
Their eyes filled with malice,
As if they wanted to dismember them from the inside out.
"Speak! What method did you use to enter the Dragon Blood Lake?"
One of the blue flood dragons asked coldly.
A chilling aura erupted from his body,
As if intending to freeze everything around them.
Unfortunately,
That terrifying cold energy dissipated instantly the moment it approached Long Yuan and his companion!
Simultaneously,Flames swirled around,
Fierce winds howled,
Thunder rumbled,
And golden light shimmered brilliantly.
Each elder unleashed terrifying and dreadful energy,
Their might sweeping through the surroundings,
Capable of easily crushing the ancient mountain ranges.
If they could master the method to enter the Dragon Blood Lake,
They too would have a chance to transform into true dragons!
"What method did we use?"
Long Yuan smiled faintly,
Then suddenly furrowed his brows.
A purer dragon might than even the Dragon Blood Lake's instantly enveloped all the Heavenly Dragon Abyss elders present.
"Ahhh!"
The sudden change made several flood dragons scream in pain.
Their human forms involuntarily reverted to their original flood dragon bodies.
"Dragon might! Such pure dragon might!"
"Are you... a true dragon?"
"You're the Chu family's Guardian Beast?"
Golden Saint Elder roared in terror.
They had long since received news of Elder Jiao Fei's death,
Knowing the Chu family now had a true dragon Demon Emperor—
A ruthless being who dared slay even Hell's Gate's Martial Emperors!
But they never expected him to come to their Heavenly Dragon Abyss!
"Oh? Guessed my identity so quickly?"
Long Yuan observed them calmly.
The bloodline suppression of dragonkind was overwhelming—
Before a true dragon's bloodline,
Flood dragons couldn't even lift their heads!
"Choose one among these Demon Saints to contract as your beast!"
Long Yuan said to Chu Yunling.
"Contract... a Demon Saint?"
Chu Yunling was shocked.
Their Chu family didn't even have such powerful beings!
"Correct. This is precisely why I brought you here."
"Take your pick—whichever you fancy, just form the contract!"
Then Long Yuan turned to the Demon Saints: "I'm offering you a chance to become dragons!"
"Whoever becomes this young lady's contracted beast will gain entry to the Dragon Blood Lake!"
"Don't think this demeans you. This girl possesses a special ability to continuously elevate her contracted spirit beasts' bloodlines—you should understand the benefits!"
With excitement,
Chu Yunling scanned each flood dragon,
Trying to select a satisfactory spirit beast.
Yet after looking them over,
She found all these Demon Saints equally formidable.
The Demon Saints were equally conflicted.
Dragon transformation held irresistible allure,
But becoming a contracted beast meant losing their current freedom.
Yet that ability to endlessly elevate a contracted beast's bloodline made every Demon Saint yearn deeply.
"Beast God, this junior's eyes are unworthy—I truly can't discern their differences. Please advise me!"
After a full circle,
Chu Yunling could only seek Long Yuan's guidance.
"Then that golden flood dragon it is."
Long Yuan pointed at Golden Saint Elder.
The Emperor Way Golden Dragon bloodline was decent—
Properly nurtured, it would become formidable combat strength!
Golden Saint Elder, already torn, sighed heavily.
Who knew whether this was fortune or calamity?
And even if calamity—what could he do?
Against a true dragon Demon Emperor, resistance was impossible!
Thus he finally formed the contract with Chu Yunling.
Witnessing this,
Several other Demon Saints wished to be contracted too,
But their chance had passed!
Long Yuan only permitted one Demon Saint contract,
As more would be pointless!
Even if Chu Yunling contracted two Demon Saints,
The system would only count it as one!
Moreover,
This contract merely served to swiftly complete the system mission,
To obtain the supreme artifact—the Chrono Pagoda!
With the Chrono Pagoda,
The Chu family's strength could advance rapidly again.
As for the Chu family's development,
They still needed to progress step by step themselves!
Honoring their agreement,
Even Long Yuan was astonished.
This would tremendously benefit the Chu family's development!
However,
Using the Chrono Pagoda wasn't free—
It required vast amounts of Heaven-Earth Essence Stones as energy.
Even operating the first floor for one day,
Would consume hundreds of thousands of low-grade Essence Stones.
Ordinary minor families couldn't sustain such costs,
And even the current Chu family couldn't endure prolonged usage.
Fortunately, the Chrono Pagoda's interior space was vast enough,
Allowing many to cultivate simultaneously!
Glancing at the two flood dragons still absorbing dragon blood,
Long Yuan began assimilating the system's supreme divine ability—the Primordial Dragon Fist!
As for the hundred years of cultivation,
He'd absorb that after returning to Qingyang Town!

"Another bloodline reversion?"
Long Yuan was stunned.
His Iceflame Mystic Dragon bloodline was already immensely powerful—
Now it could revert further?
What would emerge after this reversion?
Moreover, these rewards were absurdly generous!
Cultivation years,
An eternal life technique, emperor artifacts, various evolution pills, a divine-grade formation!
Just for elevating the Chu family to eight-star status—
If he cultivated them to Emperor-tier or even Divine-tier,
Wouldn't the rewards defy the heavens?
This thought fueled Long Yuan's motivation further!
The two flood dragons continued absorbing true dragon bloodline,
When suddenly,
Void Golden Dragon Flood Dragon spoke up:
"Beast God, I feel... I can't hold it anymore!"
"???"
Long Yuan was baffled.
"What do you mean?"
Don't tell me you're about to defecate in the Dragon Blood Lake?
"I feel... I'm about to break through to Demon Emperor!"
