Chapter 189 - 137: When Are You Going to Eat Me?

Chapter 189: Chapter 137: When Are You Going to Eat Me?

The intense death-thought in the river of blood violently assaulted Qiu Yuehan’s mind. No, not just Qiu Yuehan’s—even Lu Changyuan felt dizzy and bewildered.

A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, accumulated over five hundred years, were all contained in this place.

Panting slightly, Qiu Yuehan leaned into Lu Changyuan’s arms. "Do you hear something?"

Lu Changyuan turned slightly.

"What sound?"

Qiu Yuehan didn’t answer. It was as if tens of thousands of people were shrieking inside her head, or like the resonant hum of countless cicadas. The cacophony was making her mind go blank.

The Burial Ground was a vast river of blood with no end in sight.

Looking up, a vast, red curtain of blood hung overhead, and within it was a giant vertical pupil filled with fear and annihilation.

This eye could even be seen from within the Burial Ground.

Suddenly, Lu Changyuan stopped leaping across the bones. He stood still, raised his head, and met the eye’s gaze.

He felt its gaze on him.

An inexplicable sense of unease welled up in his heart, sending a chill down his spine.

"Is it looking at you or me?" Lu Changyuan couldn’t help but ask.

Qiu Yuehan didn’t answer. At some point, the girl in the black skirt had passed out. Her soft, pliant body was like a doll at the mercy of others, resting securely in Lu Changyuan’s arms.

Lu Changyuan sighed, adjusted his hold on the Black Skirt Fairy, and continued toward the center of the river of blood.

He could feel something ascending from the center of the river of blood.

This was the place to advance his Five Desires and Six Dust Heart Transformation Technique.

~~~~~~~~~~~

At the very center of the river of blood.

Above the slumbering Sea of Blood.

There sat a skull, as massive as a city gate, with sharp, severe lines as if carved by a knife.

Within the skull’s clear yet complex bony structure, a kind of pulse seemed to slumber. Blood and shadow intertwined, outlining its ferocious contour. It was clearly a bone that had long slumbered in death, yet it remained difficult to look at directly.

This was the second time Xue Nichang had seen this bone. The first time, the Blood Demon Lord had used the Blood Mirror’s magic, allowing her to view it from afar. Back then, she had been too stunned to form words. Now, standing before the real Dragon Bone, the shock was even greater. Xue Nichang was so stunned by the Dragon Bone’s ancient aura that her entire body went numb.

The Town Elder’s voice pulled her back from her thoughts. "Miss Nichang?"

"No rush. Let the others try first."

Whoever could revive the Dragon Bone would be the next Young Master.

Xue Nichang had been quite confident, but now that she saw the bone in person, even though she had invited a True Master from the Qingluo Painting Palace and collected the blood of over a hundred types of reptilian Demon Beasts, she no longer had a shred of confidence.

’Could she really awaken a creature that surpassed human imagination with just these things?’

"Xue Nichang, why aren’t you making a move?"

The other four Young Masters of the Blood Demon Palace had also arrived.

Someone rushed forward, taking out twenty-eight tall banners he had procured, which then slowly rose to surround the Dragon Bone.

"Since you’re not making a move, don’t blame me for getting a head start, eh?"

That person flew high into the air, muttering some kind of spell. The tall banners spun faster and faster as a type of life force flowed through them before pouring entirely into the Dragon Bone.

Xue Nichang said coldly, "Idiot! Pouring life force into something that is already dead is like pouring water into a bottomless bucket. It will have no effect whatsoever."

"Sister Nichang is right," a voice like silver bells rang out from behind her. "Watch what I can do."

Xue Nichang turned around. Xue Yanluo’s other sister was rising high into the air with a Fifth Realm Elder.

The Fifth Realm Elder was not from the Blood Demon Palace, but an ally from the Corpse Puppet Sect that she had found. ’Are they trying to turn the Dragon Bone into a dragon corpse, thereby reviving the dragon in a sense?’

The Corpse Puppet Sect were experts in precisely this field.

Xue Nichang sneered again. "Forget a Fifth Realm. Not even a Seventh Realm Yao Guang could hope to revive such an ancient being."

She waited no longer.

With a flick of her long whip, a full one hundred and eight types of blood samples appeared in the air.

Xue Nichang said lightly, "Xue Yanluo spent five years collecting these blood samples, and in the end, they all fell into my lap."

The Dragon Transformation Bone project had previously been Xue Yanluo’s responsibility. She had collected more than half of these blood samples herself. Unfortunately, she later fled the Blood Demon Palace, leaving the samples in the hands of the Cyan Blood Master, who simply gave them all to Xue Nichang.

In other words, Xue Nichang’s starting point was far higher than anyone else’s.

"A bunch of fools. This is the Blood Demon Palace; you should have better methods than this."

She held out her arm and mercilessly sliced it open. Blood gushed out like a spring, and soon her delicate, pretty face lost all its color, turning as pale as paper.

And the blood flying through the air began to transform, taking the shape of the Dragon Bone before merging into the blood of the one hundred and eight types of snakes.

She was refining the blood of the one hundred and eight types of snakes, extracting their essence, and using the magic of the Blood Demon Palace to imitate Dragon Blood and force a resonance with the Dragon Bone, all to give birth to a wisp of Dragon Thought.

"Rise!"

Xue Nichang began to burn her own Dao. She had deliberately held back from entering the Fifth Realm, waiting for this very day.

BOOM!

The vast amount of snake blood began to burn, and the entire Sea of Blood surged as if a volcano were erupting.

The Town Elder didn’t know Xue Nichang’s specific plan. At this point, even he was left clicking his tongue in amazement at her audacity.

Xue Nichang was actually risking a backlash to use herself as a vessel to revive the Dragon Bone.

Soon, Xue Nichang was escorted by the one hundred and eight phantoms born from the blood to the top of the Dragon Bone’s skull.

The small phantoms rising behind her merged, quickly taking the form of a dragon. It then split in two and shot into the Dragon Bone’s skull.
