Chapter 518: Chapter 510: Dual Bloodline Inheritance Power

"His father was a true Lightning Armor Dragon, which is why the one you saw in the memories of that Lightning Armor Dragon outside was so enormous. The Lightning Armor Dragons you see outside are actually the product of a Bloodline Power that has been diluted over countless generations. Even though they’ve lived for so many years on Holy Beast Mountain—a place abundant in Primordial Power with numerous Magical Beast inheritances—there is still a slight gap between them and a true Lightning Armor Dragon. What’s more, his father also inherited a trace of the Purple Thunder Tyrant Dragon’s bloodline, which is why he seemed so belligerent and unique."

"As for Xiaohai’s mother, heh heh... her origins are truly something else. Your judgment was correct; her original form was indeed an Iron Armor Steel Fang, and the most common kind at that." The Profound Old Ghost continued, "It’s just that, throughout her life, it seems she had a string of fortuitous encounters, much like you."

"She is a Mutated Magical Beast, and not an ordinary one. As for the characteristics and circumstances of Mutated Magical Beasts, that one outside—oh, no, that Zhu Jiuqian—already told you. He was quite correct, so this Master won’t repeat it. Xiaohai’s mother transformed into that state because she devoured the Inheritance Power from an Ancient Magical Beast’s bloodline."

Hearing this, Mu Chen finally understood why Xiaohai’s mother was only at Tier Six yet unafraid of the oppressive aura of a Saint Realm Lightning Armor Dragon. But as one question was answered, another surfaced. "Since she’s a Mutated Magical Beast, why is her Demon Beast Realm only at Tier Six? I heard Elder Zhu say that if a beast receives an Ancient Magical Beast’s bloodline inheritance, its Demon Beast Realm should skyrocket, allowing it to transform its physique and achieve a higher realm."

"Correct." The Profound Old Ghost nodded. "You’re absolutely right, but what you described is only one possible scenario. That scenario applies when a Magical Beast has devoured the bloodline inheritance of only one Ancient Magical Beast. If it were just one, her Demon Beast Realm would be at least on par with Xiaohai’s father’s, if not a tier higher! But what if she devoured the bloodline inheritances of two Ancient Magical Beasts?"

Mu Chen’s expression changed. "Two? Wouldn’t that be Defying the Heavens?"

"Defying the Heavens, my ass!" The Profound Old Ghost rolled his eyes. "If it devours two, the result is the complete opposite. Not only will the Magical Beast’s Demon Beast Realm fail to increase from devouring the Bloodline Power, it will actually drop."

"How could that be?" Mu Chen’s mouth hung open. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t arrive at such a conclusion.

The Profound Old Ghost said, "This is what I need to tell you. When a Magical Beast possesses two types of Bloodline Power at the same time, those powers will lie dormant inside its body, constantly clashing with each other. As time passes, they continuously adapt and fuse, eventually becoming a single, unique Bloodline Power. Only at that point will the Magical Beast possess a gifted bloodline far more immense than either of the originals. It will become a completely new Magical Beast—a first-generation Magical Beast! It will be known as a Progenitor!"

"But, if the Magical Beast conceives and has a child before that time, the two Bloodline Powers will instantly fuse. They will then transfer from the mother’s body into the embryo and enter a dormant state. All the fortuitous encounters and benefits the mother received are passed on to her child. And because the embryo is too weak to withstand such immense Bloodline Power, it mutates. This is the reason why Xiaohai is so weak and ugly."

"But don’t you underestimate Xiaohai. In my life, I’ve heard a most fitting story called ’The Ugly Duckling.’ You must have heard it as a child. Xiaohai is only in his Juvenile Stage right now. Once he awakens and unlocks the Bloodline Power within him, he will soar into the heavens, becoming a new Overlord who dominates the entire Magic Beast Realm! He will forge a Bloodline Power all his own and become a new kind of Magical Beast! A Magical Beast Progenitor! So, you kid, you’ve really hit the jackpot!"

"The progenitor of his very own future bloodline, haha!" As he spoke, the Profound Old Ghost grinned so widely his face nearly cramped, as if he himself had been the one to receive such a fortuitous opportunity.

"After all that, don’t you have any questions?"

"What exactly are the bloodlines that Xiaohai inherited?" Mu Chen composed himself and asked with a solemn expression.

"Good question!" The Profound Old Ghost flashed a wicked grin and chuckled. "These two bloodlines are terrifying! To obtain even one is to be able to conquer the world, let alone two! If it’s allowed to mature, there will no longer be just three Beast Gods on this continent, but four! And it will even surpass the other Beast Gods! Isn’t that right, Xiaobai!"

"Hmph!" A massive white figure stepped out of the void. It was the Snow Qilin, Xiaobai. He snorted and said defiantly, "I hate to admit it, but if he reaches his full potential, it’s indeed possible for him to surpass a Beast God! But so what if he surpasses a Beast God? He’s still contracted to Father, and he’s even trying to form an Illusion Spirit Contract. If that succeeds, all his power will be Father’s to command. So, when the time comes, the one who truly surpasses the Beast Gods will be Father!"

With that, Xiaobai dove into the white ocean with a SPLASH, letting out a contented sigh. His explanation sounded detailed, but it left Mu Chen completely lost in a fog.

"Alright, I’ll stop teasing you." The Profound Old Ghost clapped Mu Chen on the shoulder and said seriously, "Xiaohai has two types of bloodlines. You’ve likely never heard of the first one, as it’s never been recorded in the Ten Thousand Beasts Record. This bloodline has only ever appeared in legends, and it is in no way inferior to a Beast God’s bloodline. Its name is the Void Black Dragon! A supreme existence in the Dragon Race, on the same level as the Dragon God, the Golden Saint Dragon! But as I said, it exists only in legend. Even I have only seen one of them, and only once."
