The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Chapter 121 Sequence 6: The Dragon Blood Priest! The Theory of the Divine Kingdom

As Lu Yan lightly tapped the advancement button on the panel, the three beast king totems on his body—Dragon Ape, Dragon Crocodile, and Dragon Roc—immediately began to pulsate.

The crimson light surged, resonating powerfully with the red light of the surrounding blood sacrifice array.

Within the formation, thick essence blood surged like a living thing, flowing continuously into Lu Yan's body along the patterns of the totem, emitting a faint "sizzling" sound.

Suddenly, the three beast king totems seemed to come alive, breaking free from the constraints of his skin. They hovered and circled around Lu Yan, opening their fangs and wings, greedily devouring the pure blood essence within the blood sacrifice formation.

With each drop of essence blood consumed, the totem's light intensifies, and its form subtly undergoes a transformation.

What was originally just the outline of a beast-shaped totem is slowly evolving into the form of a giant dragon, with faint dragon roars coming from the depths of the totem.

With his extraordinary mental strength, Lu Yan clearly perceived every change in the totem on his body and suddenly understood.

No wonder there's a blood sacrifice requirement in the general upgrade conditions. It turns out it's not just about accumulating energy, but about purifying the dragon bloodline in the totem through this method, allowing the power of the Beast King to evolve into a more fundamental dragon power!

After an unknown amount of time, the red light of the blood sacrifice formation gradually dimmed, and the essence blood in the formation was completely devoured by the totem. The appearance of the three beast kings had already undergone earth-shattering changes.

The dragon's feathers completely disappeared, replaced by a layer of dragon scales that shimmered with a dark golden metallic luster. The sharp roc claws transformed into thick and powerful dragon claws, giving it a more domineering presence.

The scattered dragon scales that were originally hidden under the fur of the Mountain-Moving Dragon Ape are now fully revealed, covering its limbs and torso. Its limbs have become even thicker, and three-inch-long sharp bone claws have extended from the back of its hands. The frenzy of its beast has faded from its eyes, replaced by a more dignified and majestic dragon aura.

The dragon crocodile's body slowly elongated, becoming increasingly slender and agile, resembling a legendary dragon. A pair of small yet upright dragon horns grew from its head, and its scales transformed from dark green to a lustrous black. A faint mist and dragon's might surrounded its body.

Just then, the three evolved beast kings simultaneously raised their heads and roared. Their deep roars reverberated through the mountains. The power of their bloodlines collided and merged with each other, forming a phantom valley around Lu Yan. Within the valley, countless beast shadows could be vaguely seen rushing about with overwhelming momentum.

[Promotion successful! Obtained Sequence 6 - Beastmaster Priest!]

[Gain the Trait - Beast King's Eye: Your gaze can penetrate obstacles and reach the farthest reaches of the earth: The blood within the person you lock onto will be initially controlled by you, slightly interfering with their blood circulation; if the target's blood circulation is disordered, you can directly cause their blood to leak out.]

[Gain Skill - Domain - Beast King Valley: After activating the skill, a Beast King Valley domain with a diameter of one hundred feet is formed centered on the user. The domain's boundaries are sealed by an invisible barrier, preventing the target from escaping. Within the domain, phantom images of three-headed totem beast kings will randomly spawn, continuously attacking the target until the target's health is depleted or the skill ends.]

[Gain Skill - Beast King's True Form: You will permanently gain a base boost from the bloodlines of the three Beast Kings; after activating the skill, you can temporarily transform into any mature Totem Beast King, greatly increasing all your attributes.]

A series of golden subtitles flashed before Lu Yan's eyes. Before he could examine the details of the traits and skills, the rewards for the Dragon Hunting quest appeared out of thin air in front of him, and a notification sound rang out:

[Quest - Dragon Hunt Reward: Dragon Blood (Special Item)]

[Dragon's Blood: When used on a Bloodline sequence, it grants additional bloodline enhancements (only effective on sequences 6 and below), with a chance to trigger bloodline evolution.]

Upon seeing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but grin, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This reward has come at just the right time!

Without the slightest hesitation, he poured the drop of dragon blood, which exuded a rich dragon's might, into his newly promoted Beast King Priest rank.

At the same time, sensing that Lu Yan's aura was gradually stabilizing, Xue Jiansheng was about to step forward to check on the situation when he suddenly stopped.

Lu Yan's aura, which had just subsided, suddenly surged violently again. A dragon's might far surpassing that of before erupted from Lu Yan's body, carrying a heart-palpitating sense of oppression.

Suddenly, Xue Jiansheng felt as if he were being stared at by a real dragon. The hairs on his body stood on end, and he instinctively raised his hand to summon the Holy Sword. The holy light around him also showed a wary fluctuation.

But that deadly sense of oppression came and went quickly, disappearing without a trace. Instead, the three-headed dragon blood beast king totem on Lu Yan's body roared again, vying for the dragon blood that had suddenly appeared in Lu Yan's body, and its aura became more and more violent.

Gradually, the dragon-like characteristics on the three-headed beast king totem became more and more obvious.

Golden patterns appeared on the wingspan of the dragon roc, the bone claws of the dragon ape gleamed with dragon flames, and the horns of the dragon crocodile grew thicker and thicker. Their auras were also rising rapidly, showing a tendency to break through the current limitations.

As Lu Yan's physical potential was fused and evolved with this bloodline, it was constantly being explored and enhanced. A slight tingling sensation was coming from all four limbs and bones, as if a continuous source of power was being generated.

In a daze, Lu Yan felt as if he had truly transformed into a giant dragon soaring through the nine heavens, looking down at this filthy world shrouded in gray mist. A sense of dominance over the world surged in his heart, and the dragon's might around him became even more condensed.

[Dragon blood fusion successful! Bloodline evolution triggered!]

[Promotion successful! Obtained Sequence 6 - Dragonblood Priest!]

[Gain the Trait - Dragon's Eye: Your gaze will soar high above the heavens, piercing through all obstacles to clearly see the every move of those you have marked; the blood within a target locked on by your gaze will be completely under your control, freely drawn, manipulated, and even drained from their body.]

[Gain Skill - Domain - Dragon Valley: Upon activation, a Dragon Valley domain with a diameter of 200 zhang is created. The domain's boundaries are formed by a dragon scale barrier, preventing targets from escaping or teleporting. Several phantom dragon beasts will spawn within the domain. The dragon beasts' attacks are imbued with dragon flames and dragon might, continuously attacking the target until their blood is depleted. The dragon beasts can absorb the target's blood to strengthen themselves.]

[Gain Skill - Dragon's True Form: You will permanently gain a pure dragon bloodline boost; after activating the skill, you can temporarily transform into a mature dragon, greatly increasing all attributes, and gaining dragon breath and dragon's might suppression.]

Lu Yan suddenly opened his eyes, his golden dragon pupils flashing by. A dragon roar that shook the heavens resounded in the air, high-pitched and deep, as if celebrating the birth of a new dragon in the world. Even the gray mist in the distance was shaken by the dragon roar and churned slightly!

"The Dragon's Path—no, not the same path!"

Xue Jiansheng gazed at the dragon aura surrounding Lu Yan, his admiration growing stronger, and he even had the rare thought of taking him as a disciple.

With such talent and temperament, if he could be taken under my wing, he would surely be able to support a part of the human supernatural world in the future.

He could naturally see through it. Lu Yan's path as a Dragon Blood Priest originated from the original veins of the Tree of God, but Lu Yan had already broken out of the established framework and forged a completely new direction that belonged to him alone.

This is almost identical to his experience of abandoning conventions and pioneering new paths for punishment, and perhaps even more difficult.

After all, back then, he integrated countless known paths into one, specializing in the path of punishment, and only then did he manage to forge his own path.

Lu Yan, on the other hand, simultaneously pursued all six sequences at the same time, and did not confine himself to the original framework for any of them. He forged his own style and foundation, and this talent and perseverance were truly astonishing.

"Is this kid perhaps aiming for the God of Creation?"

A rare, outrageous yet persistent thought popped into Xue Jiansheng's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

With Lu Yan's incredible growth rate and temperament, his future achievements will likely go far beyond Sequence 3.

On the other side, Lu Yan finally adapted to the surging power within his body and the changes brought about by the dragon blood. With a gentle blink of his dragon eyes, the scene before him kept changing.

Nearby, the broken rocks of the mountain peaks and the remains of the dragon-like creature are clearly visible;

In the distance, the lairs of strange beasts deep in the gray fog and the vague outlines of the sanctuary were all presented to him without any obstruction.

Moreover, with just a thought, he can imprint an invisible dragon blood mark on any target. No matter where the target is, he can monitor their every move at any time, and even clearly perceive the fluctuations in their blood energy.

And this is just one of the enhancements that the Dragonblood Priest brought her.

Lu Yan clenched his fist slightly, clearly feeling the surging power within his body. Every inch of his bones and muscles was being cleansed and strengthened by the dragon blood, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"As expected of someone with dragon blood, the improvement is simply too great!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two subtitles popped up in front of him, their tone full of greed.

The Dragon Blood Priest deeply felt the power of the dragon blood; the Mountain Bandit King could no longer satisfy his desires!

Blood, scales, claws—the Dragonblood Priest craves everything the dragon has to offer!

Lu Yan's lips twitched, his heart filled with speechlessness.

How did this perfectly good traitor suddenly become a dragon fetishist?

Despite his complaints, he gradually felt relieved when he thought about the incredible boost that the dragon blood would bring.

Such formidable power, let alone just a desire for dragon-related things, even if it were just a few other "quirks"...

He didn't mind.

He couldn't help but swing his fist, feeling the explosive power contained within it. A surge of impulse welled up within him, and he wanted to immediately activate his Dragon True Form and try to transform into a giant dragon.

But just as his thoughts began to stir, he met Xue Jiansheng's extremely strange gaze—a gaze that contained admiration, inquiry, and a hint of inexplicable surprise.

Lu Yan felt extremely uncomfortable under their gaze. He subconsciously suppressed his aura, temporarily abandoning the idea of ​​transforming. He scratched his head and asked, "Master, is there something wrong with me?"

"Of course, no problem."

Xue Jiansheng snapped out of his daze, raised his hand and patted Lu Yan's shoulder. The moment his fingertips touched the other's body, he could clearly feel the bursting vitality within him. He couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a feeling of mixed emotions, including nostalgia and a sense of loss) and realized for the first time that he really seemed to be getting old.

"Your sequences are all very good; each one is powerful enough and has its own focus."

Xue Jiansheng spoke solemnly, his eyes filled with expectation, "When you reach Sequence 3 in the future, with the foundation of these sequences, you will surely be able to create the most powerful divine kingdom!"

"The Kingdom of Gods?"
