Chapter 2003: Chapter 2002: Bloodline Fusion

Facing the combat axe pointed by the Minotaur War General, Li Feng sneered, "I do hate being pointed at."

Before Li Feng’s words fell, he transformed into a shadow and appeared instantly in front of the Minotaur War General, delivering a side kick directly to the Minotaur War General’s bulging ten-pack abs.

Cough.

The Minotaur War General, struck like by thunder, instantly bent into the shape of a prawn, kneeling on the ground, head knocked fiercely towards Li Feng.

At the same time, Li Feng reached out and grabbed the Minotaur War General’s combat axe. As the Phoenix Flame flowed on his hand, the combat axe started to dissolve rapidly, visible to the naked eye.

The Minotaur War General coughed out several mouthfuls of blood, raised his head, eyes full of red, clearly feeling humiliated by being knocked down in one blow by Li Feng.

But Li Feng didn’t give this Minotaur War General any chance to resist. The strongest talent of the Barbaric Bull Clan is the Eye of Death God, although its activation probability is fifty percent, who would gamble on that fifty percent?

When you can win, why gamble?

Li Feng’s feet were like stepping on the Wind and Fire Wheel, leaping instantly, somersaulting in the air, his toe tapping on the Minotaur War General’s forehead, seemingly falling like willow fluff, yet as it touched the Minotaur War General’s head, an overwhelming gravity descended abruptly.

The Minotaur War General’s raised head immediately faced downwards, plunging directly into the ground.

"Ow."

At this moment.

Suddenly, a Barbaric Bull let out a thunderous roar, its body engulfed in flames, covering its entire form, with flames towering several feet high.

The Barbaric Bull, consumed by fire, began to show cracks in its incredibly hard skin, lines of Phoenix Flame emerging from beneath.

It seemed in the next second, this Barbaric Bull would become a roasted whole bull.

If nothing unexpected happens, this would be its fate.

But Li Feng didn’t intend to let it become a roasted whole bull just like that; this is a material delivered for experimentation, how could Li Feng waste it?

Previously refining the bloodline of Chong Xuan and later Yuan Kexin, several members of the Demon Clan, was just Li Feng’s initial trial, following the Vermilion Bird’s teachings.

In reality, it was almost effortless, as the Vermilion Bird’s bloodline refinement technique is simply utilizing the Phoenix Flame to burn impurities within the body of the opponent, purifying the bloodline.

Though this process depends entirely on the Vermilion Bird’s mood and whether the opponent’s life force is strong enough, if both are just right, it results in qualitative improvement.

Just like Chong Xuan’s Totem Shadow, directly summoning the innate power hidden in the bloodline.

But along the way.

Li Feng thought of more.

Especially the technique of bloodline fusion, the Ancestor Dragon City’s population practicing blood refining was extremely high, even forming a major cultivation system at one point.

Of course, in the end, it was proven that this bloodline fusion technique was a trap intentionally set by the Demon Clan, using centuries of schemes, leading to a disastrous defeat for Ancestor Dragon City during its peak era, almost bringing its destruction.

Afterwards, the blood refining technique of bloodline fusion became taboo, rare to see in Ancestor Dragon City, preserved only by a few major families with the bloodlines of the four Holy Beasts.

Li Feng’s Vermilion Bird Bloodline was acquired in such a crafty manner, going through several fortuitous encounters, now Li Feng has further fused with the Vermilion Bird, though not completely unified, it reached an extremity.

Moreover, from the Vermilion Bird, Li Feng learned much about blood refining, given that the Vermilion Bird once crafted its own Vermilion Bird Guard, which was among the top forces in Ancestor Dragon City.

Regrettably, the last great battle, the Vermilion Bird Guard was annihilated.

Rebuilding the Vermilion Bird Guard isn’t something achievable quickly, but the blood refining techniques mastered by the Vermilion Bird enlightened Li Feng greatly.

The reason the blood refining technique could rise swiftly within just a few centuries and become a major cultivation method in Ancestor Dragon City is primarily because it improved the foundation of many unsuitable for cultivation, enabling them to cultivate.

Furthermore, because the blood refining technique relies on awakening bloodline to strengthen oneself and release bloodline talents, compared to the profound and mystical path of Dao cultivation, it is undoubtedly simpler and faster.

A Dao cultivator requires Postnatal Meridian Opening to Innate, then Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment to consider entering the threshold of cultivation.

Yet, the resources in Ancestor Dragon City are limited, unable to meet everyone’s needs, moreover not everyone is suited for cultivation.

However, blood refinement only needs successful bloodline fusion, can adapt within ten days or half a month, then greatly transform the physique, after all, the physical strength of the Demon Clan is much stronger than humans.

Even a farmer, once possessing the bloodline of the Great Earth Bao Xiong or even the Barbaric Bull, would become extraordinarily burly, perhaps previously able to plow seven or eight acres alone, after becoming a blood refiner, could instantly work hundreds of acres a day, also eliminating the need for livestock.

If war breaks out, these stronger farmers can quickly form an army, becoming a combat force, just like the Demon Clan, where the entire clan are soldiers.

Hence, bloodline fusion became so appealing and flourished in Ancestor Dragon City, once becoming the mainstream cultivation method there.

Just unfortunately, bloodline fusion has a major flaw, not revealed until the last dispute: bloodline resonance.

Just like a tiger descending from the mountain, all beasts panicked, it’s engraved in their bones.

When blood refiners face the Kings of the Demon Clan with the same bloodline, the bloodline suppression in their bones instantly collapses the opponent’s combat strength, and even some Demon King Level powerhouses can control the same bloodline power, either causing it to explode or be controlled.

Imagine the outcome.

Li Feng aims to do precisely what the Demon Clan did previously—want to refine your bloodline? Sure, I’ll give you that.

Except he’ll tamper with it, leaving a backdoor, so when these enhanced Demon Clan members face him, they’re powerless to act, or with a mere thought from Li Feng, their organs would burn.

Bloodline refinement, bloodline fusion.

Although the two aren’t entirely synonymous, they are connected, Li Feng wants, at the moment of refinement, to leave an imprint of the Phoenix Flame in their bloodline, fusing it with his Phoenix Flame Power.

This is actually very difficult.

The Vermilion Bird’s Phoenix Fire is a rare Abnormal Fire in the world, though others in Ancestor Dragon City attempted to fuse with her bloodline, ultimately only the Sikong family succeeded, and only Sikong descendants could awaken the bloodline.

That is to say, it’s not as simple as choosing just anyone.

It’s like performing surgery, swapping an organ, testing blood type and so on, checking for rejection.

But Li Feng has an advantage even the Vermilion Bird does not.

Which is mastering the Mutated Purple Flame; although now the Purple Flame is fused with the Phoenix Fire, unlike before as the main body, the Mutated Purple Flame has a key trait: devouring and fusion, and now the Purple Flame seems gone but actually unified with the Phoenix Fire.

With the devouring and fusion feature of the Purple Flame, the Phoenix Fire’s intensity has gained a trace of change: fusion ability.

Li Feng previously simulated in his mind, only hadn’t implemented it yet, now with this ready-made opportunity delivered, Li Feng certainly won’t stand on ceremony.

Now it’s just watching whether this Barbaric Bull can undergo the bloodline fusion evolution as he expected.
