AST 2381 – Primordial Bloodline, Ultimate Journey

Three months had passed in the blink of an eye . Qing Shui and Nalan Qing’s marriage had also taken place . However, not long after, Nalan Qing left a note stating that she’d be leaving for a while and for him not to worry . It was a trip which the Ancient Blue Topaz Leopard had insisted on .

Qing Shui didn’t worry either since she was accompanied by the Ancient Blue Topaz Leopard . The Ancient Blue Topaz Leopard was formidable and had increased its strength tremendously with the help of medicinal pills after it became Nalan Qing’s pet . Furthermore, Nalan Qing’s strength wasn’t anything to scoff at either . Qing Shui gave her several protective items which would protect her even in the Upper Three Regions . Those strong warriors wouldn’t be able to touch her as they pleased .

Qing Shui’s demonic beasts weren’t the Ancient Blue Topaz Leopard’s match either, with a huge discrepancy between them . However, he had been refining a few dozen Blood Strengthening Pills during this period, most of them attained through miraculous effort . The Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant had the strongest blood now, reaching 51% primordial bloodline when it had only been a little more than 20% before .

51% was a critical point . The Primordial bloodline was said to be one of the strongest . Now that the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant’s power had grown exponentially, its disposition was no longer like in the past .

Its entire body was evolving subtly .

Primordial Dragon Elephant!

The Primordial Dragon Elephant they saw now was no longer the secondary bloodline of the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant from before . Now, the latter had vanished, leaving only the Primordial Dragon Elephant .

This was caused by the change in the Dragon Elephant’s blood .

Perhaps the most outstanding change that happened to the Primordial Dragon Elephant was its abilities; it was now practically capable of turning Heaven and Earth upside down . This made Qing Shui believe more firmly in his own thoughts, which was to strengthen the blood of his demonic beasts . This was just fundamental for them, as the innate talent and skills all came from the purity of their blood .

The Dragon Elephant’s power rose from the ashes on the ground, reaching 5 trillion Dao .

The Primordial Dragon Elephant had likewise experienced some changes to its appearance . It still retained its golden color, but the scales were gone . Now it was gold-plated smooth skin . It didn’t increase in size; on the contrary, it seemed smaller than before .

The Primordial Dragon Elephant was about fifty meters in length but looked extremely skilled with some of its abilities going through significant changes . It had a reduction in functions, but it was completely different from before .

Primordial Dragon Elephant (51% primordial bloodline) .

Primordial bloodline was the origin of the Primordial Dragon Elephant’s powers . It reduced the overall damage to its body by 20% . Increasing 20% of its own attacks while negating 30% of any adverse effects to its body . There was a 30% increase in its elemental resistance alongside the three-fold recovery on its vitality . Additionally, its defense and toughness soared by 30%, also increasing the speed and evasion by 50% . The primordial bloodline’s purity had to break through a certain threshold before the abilities could be upgraded .

Qing Shui saw a glimpse of the Primordial Divine Beast’s power and knew that the Primordial Dragon Elephant had grown stronger . This primordial bloodline was simply terrifying .

Before, the Primordial Dragon Elephant had only borne the so-called primordial bloodline essence in its body and couldn’t have been counted as having the primordial bloodline . Thanks to Qing Shui, its primordial bloodline essence seemed to have increased by a lot, reaching a certain threshold . This phenomenon had caused a transformation in the Primordial Dragon Elephant’s might and appearance .

It had had approximately 20% of primordial bloodline before, and that amount could only be called as blood essence . Now that it had reached over 51%, it could be addressed as the legitimate primordial bloodline . Hence, it was only natural that its powers had transformed .

Besides the primordial bloodline, Primordial Dragon Elephant’s battle techniques had slight changes as well .

Mighty Dragon Elephant Stomp (Grand Perfection Stage): The aggressive attacks upon the ground have a certain probability in causing vertigo, causing numbness in its targets, hindering their movements .

Instantaneous Diamond Evasion: Able to take a leap within five kilometers in an instant .

Ferocious Dragon Elephant Attack: Attack a single target in an instant . This attack increases the penetration power and critical rate, with a small probability in bypassing defense .

Primordial Flames: Primordial Flames under the Dragon Elephant’s feet would bring about a 30% chance of breaking through armor, increasing its speed in the air at the same time .

Primordial Body: Can attack any types of existences, increasing its body’s resistance at the same time .

Qing Shui heaved a breath of relief . This was the result after consuming nearly thirty Blood Strengthening Pills, and it had distanced itself greatly from Dark Phoenix, Diamond White Tiger King, and Dragon Spider . Even the Black Ice Divine Worms wouldn’t be a match to the Primordial Dragon Elephant now .

Among Qing Shui’s demonic beasts, the Dragon Slaying Beast had a decent amount of primordial bloodline . After all, it had eaten almost half of the Primordial Golden Bear’s heart and primordial bloodline Awakening Pills, which had awoken the Dragon Slaying Beast’s primordial bloodline . With time, the beast’s primordial bloodline had reached to a shocking 15% .

The other demonic beasts weren’t of primordial bloodline, and Qing Shui had no intention of changing it for now . After all, not just any beasts could possess the primordial bloodline .

The Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant was an exception because it had devoured the Primordial Boar, while the Dragon Slaying Beast had feasted on the Primordial Golden Bear’s heart .

Qing Shui refined several primordial bloodline Awakening Pills then gave them to his own demonic beasts . However, as time passed, the primordial bloodline they gained from it was gradually disappearing . Now, he understood this aspect of it . Changes in blood couldn’t be judged upon first awakening . He must also consider the fusing rate between the beast’s blood and primordial bloodline .

Qing Shui gave the remaining Blood Strengthening Pills to Dragon Spider, as it was the only one left among his demonic beasts which fit the criteria . However, Dragon Spider only had 1% primordial bloodline in it as of now .

1% was like a seedling and crucial . However, Dragon Spider had been awoken to 1% at that time, and it remained that way until now . This meant that she had a chance of purifying its bloodline, though it was hard to say to what extent .

The rest of the demonic beasts had none of the primordial bloodline left after their initial awakening . It was said that they might transform if they could reach the bottom line of 10% purity, but awakening usually only resulted in 1% of purity before one could find a way to increase it . But even in this case, a year’s time was needed before they could start to increase it .

Unless one was like the Primordial Dragon Elephant which had devoured a primordial bloodline demonic beast . However, this way possessed more dangers and risks . It would also seem a bit wasteful and inefficient . For example, devouring a beast with 15% primordial bloodline would perhaps only increase the primordial bloodline by 5% .

All in all, it was all up to chance . The prime example was the Dragon Spider which retained 1% of primordial bloodline even after a year .

Having consumed the pills, the Dragon Spider showed off her absorption abilities which made Qing Shui drop his jaw . The remaining twenty pills had increased its bloodline by 20% on top of its initial 1% from the awakening . This meant that it had reached 21% of primordial bloodline . This was a critical point . The difference between 21% and 20% was drastic, just like the difference between the Lower Three Regions and the Middle Three Regions .

Nine-Headed Demonic Dragon Spider (21% primordial bloodline) .

Dragon Spider’s appearance had some changes as well . It was still silver-white in color without much changes to its size . However, its body seemed smooth as jade even though it didn’t have an outer shell anymore . Its defense was even more terrifying now .

The nine dragon heads were all silver-white, save for the middle one which was gold . It looked domineering yet beautiful, exuding a strong Spiritual Pressure .
