The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

The dragon demon general glanced at Long You, sneered, and ignored this ignorant and suicidal fellow, loudly proclaiming:

"Please each of you take turns offering a drop of your blood essence and dripping it onto the stone statue of the Demon God,"

"Based on the essence of your blood, the Demon God statue will determine the purity and type of your bloodline, and select a blood pool of the appropriate grade for you to perform the bloodline ascension ceremony!"

Chu Xiu looked at the demon god statue in the center of the platform, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He possessed the mysterious demonic arts bestowed upon him by the Butterfly Queen, and during his study, he learned the true nature of the so-called Demon God.

The demon god of the Heavenly Continent Demon Realm is Lu Wu, a divine beast from ancient times, while the demon god of this world is actually these two sages who hold rules and have human heads and snake bodies!

Chu Xiu's roots lay in Earth, so naturally he couldn't forget the identities of these two sages with human heads and snake bodies in the ancient texts—

Fuxi! Nuwa!

These two are clearly ancient sages of the human race, so why are they regarded as gods by the demons of the Yuling Sect?

Could it be related to the ancient god bloodline within the Demon Emperor?

Chu Xiu shook his head, temporarily setting aside his doubts. He had too many questions along the way, and to find the answers, he needed to improve his strength and reach a level where he was qualified to understand these truths!

Without any hesitation, he clenched his fist and struck his chest, forcing out a drop of blood essence, which he flicked onto the stone statue.

Seeing this, other conference participants followed suit.

The drops of blood from several participants vanished the instant they touched the stone statue.

Soon, the corresponding information about the participants' blood essence and the awakening ritual was displayed to everyone.

Among them, the two who have attracted the most attention are Long You, a branch of the same Tuolong lineage, and Chu Xiu, who inherited the Tuolong name.

"Dragon Blessing, Alligator Dragon True Blood, Bloodline Purity—Ninety Percent!"

The news immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"This Long You is merely a minor branch, yet the purity of his alligator dragon blood is actually 50% higher than that of the alligator dragon that underwent the awakening ceremony last time!"

"Haha, as the main family, yet the purity of its bloodline is crushed by the collateral branch. To be a demon like the alligator dragon is unprecedented and will never be repeated!"

"You said that was the last time. The current Tuolong is not what it used to be. Haven't you heard those rumors?"

"You mean the True Dragon power he unleashed within the Heavenly Demon Tower that overwhelmed all other dragons? Don't be ridiculous, my commander already said that it was just that the Crocodile Dragon obtained a True Dragon artifact!"

"Really? Then why don't you turn around and take a look?"

A message slowly appeared before Chu Xiu, and the information displayed there caused everyone present to fall silent.

"Alligator Dragon, Alligator Dragon True Blood, Bloodline Purity—Zero..."

"Zero bloodline purity? Haha, are you kidding me!"

The demon general who had previously mocked the alligator dragon burst into another round of sarcastic laughter, but he soon realized that everyone around him was looking at him as if he were an idiot.

"Brother, you're laughing too soon... Why don't you keep reading and see what happens next..."

"Alligator Dragon, Yinglong True Blood, Bloodline Purity—50%!"

Yinglong, one of the few remaining true dragons in the world!

This alligator dragon, now, does not possess the bloodline of an alligator dragon descendant, but instead has awakened the legendary blood of a true dragon!

The Jackal Dragon Demon General suddenly stood up from his seat, his hands clenched into fists, his arms trembling uncontrollably, his eyes filled with disbelief.

This alligator dragon actually possesses such a high purity of Yinglong True Dragon bloodline!

Even though he is a jackal dragon, a descendant of a true dragon, the purity of the true dragon bloodline in his body is only one-tenth!

The current Jackal Dragon Demon Commander is filled with regret for his past actions.

He personally removed Tuolong from his position as a demon general under his command. Although it was not made public, Tuolong is now truly free!

Being a free man means that he, Tuolong, is qualified to participate in the upcoming election for the position of Demon Commander, based on his Yinglong bloodline, and compete with him, the other three hundred Demon Commanders, and the hundred top Demon Generals for the position of Demon Commander!

"Yinglong True Blood..." The Lilong Demon General shook his head helplessly, "Our Yuling Sect has never had anyone with the Yinglong bloodline."

It seems that it won't be long before Brother Tuolong's name will be changed..."

"How is this possible... how is this possible!"

"How could you possibly possess the bloodline of Yinglong!"

Unlike the helplessness of the Lilong Demon General, Long You, standing to the side, was filled with fear and confusion.

He, Tuolong, is nothing but a useless person with incomplete bloodline who relies on his ancestors' blessings!

How could he possibly possess the bloodline of a true dragon!

He and the common ancestor of the alligator dragon—the true ancestor of the alligator dragon—exerted all their efforts but could only earn the title of a descendant of a true dragon!

This generation of alligator dragons has actually awakened the power of a true dragon?!

"Impossible! Impossible!"

Long You was pale and looked deranged, shaking his head wildly.

He abruptly looked up and glared at Chu Xiu, then turned to the stunned Jackal Dragon Demon General in his seat and roared:

"General! I request to challenge General Tuolong to a duel for the rank of general!"

Long You's words immediately snapped Jackal Dragon Demon General out of his daze and drew everyone's attention.

The so-called battle for the general's position is a tradition of the Yuling Sect.

To hold the position of demon general, one must gain the approval of the demon soldiers under their command.

This means that as long as the strength or bloodline of the demon soldiers under their command reaches the level required to participate in the election of demon generals, they can challenge the demon generals under their command!

The victor will succeed to the position of Demon General!

In the hundreds of years since this demon general was appointed, with the exception of the alligator dragon, almost every demon general has been able to effectively manage their subordinates.

Therefore, there have been no battles for the position of general in the past few hundred years.

Tuolong, due to his lack of strength, was unable to suppress the growth and rise of his collateral brother, thus giving Tuolong the right to compete for his generalship.

This kind of scene is to be expected now.

Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected that Long You would be so eager to die.

One of Chu Xiu's favorite things to do was to help others achieve their goals!

The Jackal Dragon Demon General had originally planned to find an opportunity to test the Alligator Dragon's strength after the Ascension Ceremony concluded.

Unexpectedly, someone has already done it for me!

The Jackal Dragon Demon General immediately laughed and agreed, fearing that the Crocodile Dragon would refuse: "Very well, very well, in that case, I will personally set up an arena for the two of you on the top of Gathering Spirit Mountain!"

Before he finished speaking, the Jackal Dragon Demon General waved his hand, and a huge, wide arena appeared in front of everyone.

Long You jumped onto the arena first, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at Chu Xiu: "General, please!"

Chu Xiu smiled slightly, and with a flash, he also appeared on the arena.

"General... no, elder brother, if you're willing to admit you cheated before, I might spare your life in front of everyone..."

Long You suddenly calmed down, stared intently at Chu Xiu, and slowly spoke.

Even now, he still refuses to believe the rumors he had heard before and what he has seen with his own eyes.

Chu Xiu frowned: "Are you sick?"

"If you want to fight, then fight. Don't try to pull strings. If you're so capable, then cripple me right here, and I'll hand over the title of Master and the name of the Crocodile Dragon."

Long You's face darkened. "Since you're courting death, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"The name of the Alligator Dragon is not worthy of you, a mere remnant of blood!"

Long You stomped his foot suddenly, instantly revealing his true form as a crocodile dragon, its blood-red maw wide open, and pounced towards Chu Xiu.

Chu Xiu smiled coldly, his right hand tracing across his face, and the head of the Yinglong dragon slowly covered his face.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely powerful pressure appeared out of nowhere, crushing down on the heads of all the dragon descendants present, and those who were not strong enough instantly prostrated themselves!

The jackal demon general below the stage suddenly bent over and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Having sensed something amiss, the Lilong Demon General was already prostrate on the ground, unaffected by any suppression.

Long You, who was closest to Chu Xiu, was actually crushed into a blood mist by the power of the true dragon that descended from the sky!

His physical body was destroyed the instant Chu Xiu released the power of the true dragon!

Only his soul remained, pressed firmly against the arena by the oppressive force, on the verge of destruction!
