Chapter 561 - Assimilating Bloodline
A True Fire God fears no fire.
The Divine Medicine King had practiced this technique to the Divine King Realm, but that was the height of his achievement.
The tempering of true fire cannot be the same as the tempering of fire-attribute Spirit Energy.
Even so, the tempering of true fire was not something a Divine Practitioner could accomplish with their weak bodies.
Only Fire Awakeners can withstand true fire tempering with their Fire Laws and higher resistance to flames.
While Leon was astonished by this discovery, he did not express any interest in practicing the [Divine Fiery God Manual] again.
"This is the Lancaster family\'s heritage and destiny now. I have my own path to follow." Leon muttered softly.
As Leon observed Duke Ignis subconsciously absorbing Fiery Energy inside the Paragon-level Three-Legged Golden Crow\'s blood inside the pool, he suddenly frowned.
"As father-in-law absorbs more Fiery Energy from the Three-Legged Golden Crow\'s blood, the temperature in the pool drops due to the Blue Luan\'s blood…" Leon\'s frown deepened in observation, "At this rate, he will freeze before he can achieve anything out of the Three-Legged Golden Crow\'s blood."
Once he came to this conclusion, Leon immediately flew out of the vast rift before gazing at his surroundings.
After spotting the bodies of Transcendent-level Three-Legged Golden Crows in the distance, he immediately shot over and picked up two of them with his vice-like grips and brute strength.
Even with 500-thousand jin of raw physical strength, two Transcendent-level Three-Legged Golden Crows was his limit due to their sheer size and weight of 300 feet and 200-thousand jin, respectively.
The Wrathful Demonic Energy hidden inside the two Transcendent-level Three-Legged Golden Crow\'s carcasses were immediately absorbed into Leon\'s body before he proceeded to drain their slightly awakened blood into the pool.
"The power of these Three-Legged Golden Crows\' golden flames are pretty weak in comparison to the Paragon-level one. However, I can only make do with them for now…"
Leon furrowed his brows slightly.
"It\'ll be a bit risky going back for the Paragon-level Three-Legged Golden Crow\'s blood, not to mention the distance and time it will take…"
Shortly after the golden blood was completely drained into the pool below, Leon tossed the 300-foot big carcasses over to the vast rift\'s frozen side with brute strength.
Boom!
The large carcasses landed with a heavy thud before the frigid energy in the area quickly crawled onto the Three-Legged Golden Crows\' bodies and preserved them in a layer of ice.
Leon was a little bit curious about how the Three-Legged Golden Crow\'s meat would taste. As such, it was a good idea for him to preserve them just in case they become spoiled.
Shortly after he was done with the two carcasses, Leon went to fetch more Transcendent-level Three-Legged Golden Crow\'s carcasses he could find in the area.
"Good stuff should be shared with everyone. It would be a waste if we just leave all this potential food lying around out here to rot…" Leon quietly mulled while carrying out his task.
At the same time, he could sense Duke Ignis\'s absorption rate of Fiery Energy growing faster by the minute.
He definitely did not have time to fly back to watch the Paragons battle.
Meanwhile, the elven warriors were utterly shocked by Leon\'s display of brute strength. One of them even dropped the blacksmith they were carrying back onto the Great Wall.
Thud!
"Ahh, f*ck! Be careful, please!" The blacksmith cried after hitting the hard metallic floor.
The elven warrior was immediately embarrassed before he apologized, "Sorry about that, Sir Blacksmith. The Savior\'s physical strength was simply so astonishing, it left me dumbfounded."
Several nearby elven warriors also expressed similar thoughts.
The other blacksmiths were intrigued after listening. However, the elven warrior shortly took them away to get treated by the Elder Tree after they insisted.
They simply could not stand the mixture of pain and itchiness.
After they were gone, only Duna remained behind on the Great Wall as she continued to sit on the edge and quietly observed Leon.
"Interesting… his strength has grown by leaps and bounds within such a short time since we last met…" Duna narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, "It definitely has something to do with his pseudo-Grandmist Energy. How is he procuring them?"
Although they were not True Grandmist Energy, the source of Divinities, pseudo-Grandmist Energy, was still far more effective than any other available energy source in building her corporeal body.
"I need to get stronger… for mine and Lumi\'s sake." Duna lifted her head and shifted her gaze to the sun with narrowed eyes, "The world is running out of time."
…
Meanwhile, Leon drained the blood from his tenth Three-Legged Golden Crow before adding the carcass to his collection on the vast rift\'s frozen side.
At that moment, the water pool had already become a viscious pool of golden blood, and Duke Ignis\'s consciousness was recovered.
After realizing Leon\'s efforts and receiving the original version of the [Divine Fiery God Manual] via transmission, Duke Ignis nodded gratefully before focusing wholeheartedly on practicing the technique.
Fiery Energy gathered into his body with quickened pace, searing his insides with their high heat.
However, the pain was nothing compared to the Paragon-level Three-Legged Golden Crow\'s flames that scorched his body black.
He endured the painful tempering and allowed the Fiery Energy to refine, reforged, and transformed his body while traces of the Three-Legged Golden Crow\'s bloodline was also absorbed into his body.
"Hm?" Leon noticed the small detail.
"Father-in-law managed to absorb the Golden Crow\'s bloodline for himself? Would this affect the practice of the [Divine Fiery God Manual] in any way?" Leon quietly mused before he sensed Duke Ignis\'s surging vitality.
Shortly after, the surface of Duke Ignis\'s blackened skin cracked apart.
His body shed off its scorched flesh and revealed a layer of new skin underneath that glowed with a crimson tint due to the exuberant boiling blood within Duke Ignis\'s body.
"Haaaa!"
With a sudden howl, Duke Ignis made a breakthrough in his technique as his body surged with golden flames!
