"Do you truly wish to attempt merging with the Divine Ability and challenge the realm of Martial King?" The voice was filled with concern, "If you fail, your body could explode, leading to your death."
Hearing Lin Fei's determination to charge towards Martial King, the Azure Flood Dragon King's spirit was uplifted, brimming with newfound interest. It had endured torment for over 20,000 years and now, seeing a glimmer of hope, how could it not be agitated?
Still, it felt obligated to remind Lin Fei of the potential consequences. If Lin Fei were to fail, it would mean continuing its own torment, making the prospect of no hope even more unbearable.
Lin Fei, with a resolute glint in his eyes, responded, "I am prepared. Azure Flood Dragon King, you mentioned even taking your own life is a luxury for you. How will you offer me half of your bloodline?"
Losing half of its bloodline would significantly weaken the Azure Flood Dragon King, possibly relegating it from a peak-level king to an average one. But that wasn't the main concern. If it meant liberation from the torment, even death was acceptable. Yet, it couldn't die.
Drawing a deep breath, the Azure Flood Dragon King said, "Indeed, even death is a luxury I can't afford. Once my bloodline leaves my body, the formation set by Qing Yuzi will bind it, forcibly pushing it back into me. Alone, I cannot let my bloodline leave my body.
However, you, now the master of the Dubhe Dao Artifact, can command it to retrieve my bloodline. Qing Yuzi's formation, however formidable, is no match for the Dao Artifact! So, you can retrieve half of my bloodline from within the Dao Artifact, then merge it with your Six Divine Abilities to form the Martial King bloodline."
Lin Fei understood. The key was the Dubhe Dao Artifact. With it in hand, things were indeed different. Although it might not be particularly strong in defense or offense, having a Dao Artifact was sufficient.
"Spirit of the Dubhe, is what the Azure Flood Dragon King says true?" Lin Fei, still wary, asked the spirit of the Dubhe.
The Dubhe spirit nodded, "Indeed, I can take in the Azure Flood Dragon King's bloodline. Qing Yuzi's formation is no match for the Dao Artifact."
Relieved, Lin Fei proclaimed, "Very well, Azure Flood Dragon King, let's begin!"
Following this, the Azure Flood Dragon King took another deep breath.
"Roar..."
Immediately, an overwhelming aura burst forth from it. Despite being tormented by the formation for over 20,000 years, it was, after all, a king-level exotic beast, even having a hint of the Flood Dragon bloodline. Its bloodline started to manifest, with droplets of blood seeping out. But this blood was unlike any other, coalescing together as if alive, while the Azure Flood Dragon King seemed to be under tremendous pressure.
A humming resonance filled the air. The large formation set up by Qing Yuzi manifested as chains of bright light, attempting to suppress and draw back the blood into the Azure Flood Dragon King's body.
In desperation, the Azure Flood Dragon King roared, "I can't hold on much longer! This is half of my bloodline. Master of Dubhe, quickly release the Dao Artifact to absorb it!"
Seeing the urgency, Lin Fei hesitated no more. With a mere thought, the Dubhe Dao Artifact appeared in his hand. "Go!" he commanded.
Instantly, the artifact flew towards the Azure Flood Dragon King, releasing a force of suction. With the assistance of the Azure Flood Dragon King, in a swift motion, half of its bloodline was absorbed directly by the Dubhe Dao Artifact.
Within Qing Yuzi's formation, chains attempted to restrain the Dao Artifact. However, they couldn't even touch the artifact before being repelled. Such is the prowess of a Dao Artifact - even without significant offensive or defensive abilities, it wasn't something a mere formation could confine.
Soon, the Dubhe Dao Artifact returned to Lin Fei's hand. "Was it really that easy?" he pondered. It felt strangely simple.
However, observing the weakened state of the Azure Flood Dragon King and glancing at the artifact, he realized it wasn't. Both the Dragon King and Qing Yuzi's formation were formidable. Without the Dao Artifact, obtaining the bloodline would've been impossible. Even if the Dragon King was willing, Lin Fei could never have countered the formation set by Qing Yuzi.
So, while it appeared simple, for others without a Dao Artifact, obtaining the bloodline of the Azure Flood Dragon King would be an unattainable dream.
Without hesitation, Lin Fei entered the Dubhe Dao Artifact. He decided to make his breakthrough inside the artifact as it was the safest place. Nothing from the external world could breach it without his permission.
Watching the Dao Artifact, the Azure Flood Dragon King's gaze became complex. "He must succeed..." It whispered, its voice almost growling. The sacrifice had been significant, losing half its bloodline. All its hopes rested on Lin Fei's success. Now, all it could do was wait.
Inside the Dubhe Dao Artifact, Lin Fei could see the stored bloodline of the Azure Flood Dragon King. The rich bloodline emitted an astonishing aura, an aura far surpassing the levels of Martial Sovereign and Golden Core. This was a life force comparable to the Nascent Soul and the Martial King!
"Spirit, enter the jade liquid. In case I need to accelerate time, the jade liquid can act as an energy support."
As Lin Fei's voice faded, the Dubhe Dao Artifact flew into the jade liquid pool. Lin Fei was well-prepared for his attempt to advance to Martial King, having considered every possible angle.
Staring at the Azure Flood Dragon King's bloodline before him, myriad thoughts flashed through Lin Fei's mind. With all the preparations he'd made, he knew exactly what to do next.
The first step was to absorb the bloodline of the king-level exotic beast. But once he began the absorption, he would be compelled to attempt the breakthrough to Martial King. There would be no turning back. As such, he needed to be utterly determined.
"I have six Great Divine Abilities. I can surely suppress half of the Azure Flood Dragon King's bloodline. Using my Divine Abilities as the base, a new bloodline will be born. And thus, I shall become a Martial King!" Lin Fei muttered to himself. Then, making up his mind, he reached out toward the hovering bloodline of the Azure Flood Dragon King.
"Absorb!" he commanded. His hand reached out, and his body acted like a black hole, voraciously drawing in the bloodline of the Azure Flood Dragon King.
The moment the domineering bloodline of the king-level exotic beast entered his body, chaos ensued within Lin Fei. The bloodline, being extremely aggressive, sought to dominate and even transform Lin Fei's physical form. If it succeeded, Lin Fei would morph into an Azure Flood Dragon – a process known as "heteromorphism". This was one of the risks of failing to advance to Martial King. Lin Fei had prepared for this – he knew the bloodline would be tyrannical.
Almost instantly, a massive Life Wheel emerged behind him. As the wheel emerged, six layers of bright light radiated, representing the six Divine Abilities. The abilities, when at the Martial Sovereign level, were integrated with one's body. Lin Fei's immediate goal was to suppress the bloodline of the Azure Flood Dragon King.
"Divine Ability, Black Wind Prison!"
"Divine Ability, Gravity Domain!"
"Divine Ability, Dual-World Saber!"
"Divine Ability, Annihilation!"
"Divine Ability, Undying Seal!"
"Divine Ability, Pierce!"
The six top-tier Great Divine Abilities manifested within Lin Fei, as powerful and radiant as the blazing sun. They immediately clashed with the bloodline of the Azure Flood Dragon King. There was a resounding boom within Lin Fei, and his body quivered violently. If he couldn't endure, his body would explode.
Yet, from this moment, Lin Fei had already begun his breakthrough attempt to become a Martial King. His six top-tier Great Divine Abilities were not only suppressing the Azure Flood Dragon King's bloodline but also trying to intertwine and merge with it.
However, whether these top-tier Great Divine Abilities could suppress or even integrate with the bloodline of the Azure Flood Dragon King to give birth to a new Martial King bloodline remained uncertain.
Even Lin Fei couldn't predict the outcome. For now, he could only focus entirely, keeping a close watch on the clash between his six Divine Abilities and the bloodline of the Azure Flood Dragon King.
"Do you truly wish to attempt merging with the Divine Ability and challenge the realm of Martial King?" The voice was filled with concern, "If you fail, your body could explode, leading to your death."
