Chapter 217: Flame Blade

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

What would it feel like if a person was stabbed by a small wooden thorn? It would probably be a slight pain, but if the person did not touch the small wooden thorn, they would not feel any pain.

It was the same for the dragon. The body of an earth-rank dragon was extremely huge. After being absorbed by the forest, its entire body was skinny and bony. There was not a single piece of flesh on its body. This flaming blade stabbed into the thousand-year-old dragon’s body, it was still as if it was scratching an itch.

If it was not being held down by the forest, it would be even harder to break down the defenses of the dragon!

After piercing into it, Lin Xuan quickly left and hid far away. Because the next second, the terrifying absorption began. This flaming blade that Lin Xuan had not been able to find anything suitable to absorb after obtaining it began to crazily absorb everything from the thousand-year-old dragon, breaking through to a higher level.

It was originally at a low-level mystic-rank, but it quickly entered the middle-level mystic-rank by absorbing the blood of the thousand-year-old dragon, and then stepped into the high-level mystic-rank.

The thousand-year-old dragon cried out in pain. Its originally indifferent eyes were dominated by the fear of death. Unfortunately, the forest had really imprisoned it too firmly. No matter how it struggled, it could not move, instead, it just kept losing.

[Your Enchanted Wooden Blade is absorbing the thousand-year-old dragon’s earth-rank origins. Please choose the direction of your breakthrough.]

[1. Rank: Earth-rank…]

[2. Attributes: Increase wood attribute, increase life attribute…]

[3. Bloodline: Increase dragon bloodline…]

This was actually a multiple-choice question. Also, he could understand the second choice, but what was up with the third choice? A weapon that could also increase bloodline?

Lin Xuan thought about it for a long time. He took out the abyssal flame from his personal space. He had obtained it together with Yan Dao. At that time, he had wanted Yan Dao to absorb the flame, but he remembered that he was only at the yellow-rank, even if he could absorb it, it would be difficult to use it.

Thus, he had kept it until today!

Seeing the opportunity, he aimed at the Enchanted Wooden Blade and threw the pitch-black abyss fire in his hand.

However, he did not expect the thousand-year-old dragon, which had already given up on struggling, to suddenly go crazy. Ignoring its own body, it opened its mouth wide and aimed at the abyss of fire that was thrown at it.

This scene completely stunned Lin Xuan!

It was a pity that the other party was an earth-rank beast. Even if Lin Xuan wanted to fight, he did not dare to go forward. He could only stand there anxiously, hoping that the flame of the abyss would burn it enough, in the end, it spat it out… No, it was eaten!

The other party opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of black smoke. As for the flame of the abyss, he did not know where it went. It might have been swallowed down, or it might have been extinguished… who the heck knew.

Forget it, forget it. The entire thousand-year-old dragon would eventually become the nourishment of the Enchanted Wooden Blade anyways. As for the flame of the abyss… he could just let it be. Compared to an earth-rank thousand-year-old dragon, it would not be overpowering enough.

Lin Xuan could only hope that he would be able to earn back this item.

“I choose the third option!”

It was not that breaking through to earth-rank was not good, nor was it useless to increase attributes.

It was that once the Enchanted Wooden Blade broke through to earth-rank, its power would increase greatly. It was impossible for Lin Xuan to control it perfectly. Furthermore, people were different. Some were ordinary ability users, while others were prodigies. It was the same for blades.

Lin Xuan did not know if absorbing all of the thousand-year-old dragon’s power and advancing to a higher rank would be trash. However, he was sure that when he absorbed more things in the future, he would gain a few more terms and attributes, as well as a few more elemental and even rule attributes, if he advanced to earth-rank, wouldn’t it be great for him to have a stable earth-rank divine weapon waiting for him?

As for the second attribute, it was just as good. However, the problem was that Lin Xuan had not comprehended the Supreme Wood intent, and he had little understanding of the Dao of life.

There was nothing he could do about it.

Gradually, the thousand-year-old dragon’s voice became softer and softer, and it had long since ceased to make a sound. If not for the slight undulation of its body, Lin Xuan would have thought that it was already dead.

He still did not act rashly. The fear of death that the earth-rank beast gave Lin Xuan last time stuck in him, there was still some residual fear. Now that he thought about it, it was still fresh in his memory. If he was at the peak of the mystic-rank, then he would swagger up and perform a beheading on the thousand-year-old dragon.

There was a difference in rank between the mystic-rank and the earth-rank, but it was definitely not big enough to overpower one another.

However, the gap between the yellow-rank and the earth-rank was… not so exaggerated. Even so, the dying thousand-year-old dragon did not need much effort to kill the yellow-rank Lin Xuan if need be.

Moreover, his Enchanted Wooden Blade was undergoing a crazy transformation. Layers of fine dragon scales densely appeared on the blade. It was originally the shadow of a thousand-year-old dragon, but very quickly, the impurities in the bloodline were removed, and only the deeper roots of the bloodline remained.

The blood of the thousand-year-old dragon dried up, followed by its muscles, bones, and bone marrow.

It was dead!

An earth-rank sea king that could have conquered the sea died in the forest. It was unknown how many times it reincarnated.

Lin Xuan walked over and pulled out the Enchanted Wooden Blade from the dragon skin it left behind.

[Card: Green Dragon Life Enchanted Wooden Blade]

[Type: Weapon]

[Bloodline: Green Dragon Bloodline]

[Level: High-level mystic-rank]

[Enchantment: Natural Absorption, Green Dragon of the Sky]

[Skills: Dragon’s Might, Flame of Life, Abyss Flame]

[Description: A blade that can grow with endless potential. Although it is made from wood, it contains flame elements. It has endless potential for growth.]

Amazing!

First, the weapon milestone was unlocked. This was also the first time Lin Xuan knew that there was such a thing. Moreover, this milestone was not simple. Not only was it the honor of the weapon, but it also had a substantial stacking of power.

[Dragon-slaying Milestone: When killing a dragon-type creature, damage increases by 10 percent. It has a certain degree of deterrence to the dragon-type creature! You can continue to kill dragon race creatures to unlock a stronger milestone.]

Then there was the weapon bloodline. To put it bluntly, this was the prerequisite step before a weapon had a spirit. Once a weapon is turned into a spirit, it would be able to determine the race of the spirit. In the end, it could even be able to reconstruct the body, truly transforming into the azure dragon of the heavens.

As for the skills, Dragon Might and Flame of Life did not have a description. Abyss’ flame was something that Lin Xuan had never expected. It should have been affected by the Abyss Flame. His gains this time were phenomenal. Other than the transformation of his weapon, he had also killed an earth-rank thousand-year-old dragon. The promotion mission must definitely be completed now. Most importantly, the earth-rank thousand-year-old dragon had died and left behind two items!
