BXBX NOVEL Chapter 869 - Earth Dragon
The moment the True Dragon Blood Essence in his body reached two-tenths of its total blood capacity, they resonated with rising temperatures.
Like a crying newborn baby, the True Dragon Blood Essence came alive in Shadowtail\'s body and ran amok and rampaging excitedly.
However, such excitement brought nerve-wracking pains through Shadowtail\'s body.
Shadowtail gave another thunderous roar before succumbing to the pain and squirming on the ground uncontrollably, causing quakes and tremors in the region.
Leon immediately furrowed his brows.
After he quickly gave a specific command to the realm spirit, the squirming Shadowtail disappeared from the spot and reappeared in another region, far from the rock wall area in the western region.
Leon did not want Shadowtail\'s bloodline awakening to disturb Duna\'s cultivation.
"W-where did Shadowtail go?" Nightingale and the other dark wyrms wondered with a bit of confusion and disappointment.
They wanted to bear witness to the event.
"Tak-si," Leon commanded.
Swish!
In the next instance, Leon and the dark wyrms also disappeared, teleporting to the Blacksand Desert in the south region, where Leon decided to drop Shadowtail.
It didn\'t take long before the dark wyrms heard Shadowtail\'s roar in the distance and turned to look in that direction.
They immediately saw Shadowtail wailing in the desert, tossing billows of sand around and kicking up a sandstorm around it.
At the same time, Shadowtail\'s heart-wrenching cry made their dark wyrms\' scalp tingle with a chill as the desert wind blew past them.
"The bloodline awakening process is far from what I imagined… For someone of Lord Shadowtail\'s caliber to be reacting like this, he must be experiencing excruciating pain beyond our imagination…!"
An unsettled expression hung on Nightingale\'s face as she watched Shadowtail squirm and squeal like he was at his wit\'s end.
As beings who have reached the Peak-rank Arch Demon-level, they should have developed a certain degree of tolerance to pain.
Yet, Shadowtail showed little resistance to it.
"Lord Shadowtail is undergoing the legendary bloodline awakening, right…?" a dark wyrm asked for confirmation.
The sorry state of their clan leader made it apprehensive about bloodline awakening.
In fact, all the dark wyrms present felt the same.
Excruciating and unbearable as it was to watch, Leon and the dark wyrms noticed evident changes on Shadowtail\'s body.
Two black horns protruded from Shadowtail\'s head while his body deformed with four large lumps that soon transformed into two pairs of limbs, muscular and packed with power.
The bloodline awakening had brought forward a very forceful evolution.
By the time the bloodline awakening process ended, Shadowtail no longer had any resemblance to the dark wyrms.
Instead, Shadowtail looked more like a black drake.
But while Shadowtail\'s appearance was the most noticeable change, it wasn\'t the most important one.
At that very moment, Shadowtail stood at a precipice of strength that had not appeared in the Dark Wyrm Clan for a very long time.
Shadowtail wielded the strength of a Demon Lord!
"Earth dragon… Lord Shadowtail has evolved into an earth dragon after undergoing his bloodline awakening!" a dark wyrm exclaimed.
"Hooh…!"
The dark wyrms cheered for Shadowtail\'s successful ascension with overwhelming elation and pride; they were one step closer to reliving the glory of their ancestors, the True Dragons.
\'It seems like the Dark Wyrm Clan doesn\'t care much about their wyrm bloodline,\' Leon mused while silently observing the dark wyrms\' expressions and behaviors.
They only care about their true dragon bloodline, the noblest and most powerful bloodline among dragons.
As the dark wyrms admired Shadowtail from a distance, Shadowtail adapted to his newly grown limbs and tested his strength.
\'Bloodline awakening process isn\'t something just anyone can endure… If my will and endurance had been lacking, I could have lost my life…\' Shadowtail reflected on his experience with a serious look.
At the same time, he flexed his limbs and felt the strength of 200-million jin course through his muscles.
\'My strength increased by twofold after my true dragon bloodline awakening… Is this the strength of a Demon Lord?\' Shadowtail wondered.
At that moment, Shadowtail felt invincible.
After Shadowtail fully adjusted to his new body, he locked onto Leon\'s location before he made his way over with large and intimidating steps filled with power and majesty.
Leon and the dark wyrms both felt tremendous pressure from Shadowtail\'s approach; each and every one of Shadowtail\'s steps made their heart beat loudly like the banging drums.
Shortly after Shadowtail\'s towering figure appeared in front of Leon, Shadowtail immediately lowered himself to him with a subservient attitude.
"Thank you, my Lord. It was all due to your grace that I was able to awaken my true dragon bloodline," Shadowtail stated.
"I might have played a part in your bloodline awakening, but your success was ultimately due to your own efforts," Leon casually replied before he asked, "How are you feeling?"
"Never better, my Lord!" Shadowtail grinned proudly.
Although the bloodline awakening had actually made Shadowtail\'s overall size much smaller, he was still a behemoth to humans like Leon.
Even the smallest of Shadowtail\'s actions would generate some form of a stir in his surroundings.
"That\'s good to hear," Leon smiled wryly at the natural pressure placed on him.
\'To think that I would feel this much natural pressure from Shadowtail just by being near him. Is this the difference between mortals and the divine?\' Leon silently mused.
If Shadowtail wanted to suppress him with his dragon aura purposely, Leon reckoned it would be pretty difficult for him to resist.
Fortunately, there doesn\'t seem to be any changes to Shadowtail\'s loyalty even after Shadowtail became a Demon Lord-level Earth Dragon.
No intelligent being wouldn\'t be so short-sighted enough to burn the bridge so soon when he still had plenty of opportunities to offer.
Dark wyrms that follow him wouldn\'t just end at the Divine Beast Realm; no, that was only the beginning.
"Congratulations on your successful bloodline awakening, Lord Shadowtail," Nightingale and the other dark wyrms approached Shadowtail to congratulate.
"Thanks," Shadowtail smiled before saying, "And you shouldn\'t be far from a bloodline awakening as well. Isn\'t that right, Nightingale?"
"Prob—"
Nightingale was about to answer when her entire body burned up from the True Dragon Blood Essence in her body becoming excited.
