The Dragonblood warriors did not summon the Dragonblood Battle Body; they wanted to conserve their strength, but the Dragonblood Battle Body appeared uncontrollably.
"Boom boom boom...
When the Dragon Blood Battle Body appeared, the sacred dragon might erupted. All the Dragon Blood warriors' bloodlines were connected, responding and empowering each other. At that moment, the thunder beasts approaching them shattered with a thunderous crash before even touching their bodies.
The shattered thunder runes were instantly absorbed by the dragon scales on their bodies. At that moment, the dragon scales seemed like bloodthirsty beasts, frantically devouring the power of thunder.
"Boss, this ..."
Seeing this, the Dragonblood warriors were stunned. They stood frozen in place, letting their scales absorb the thunderous power while doing nothing.
"What's going on here?"
Long Chen was also stunned and asked the Qiankun Cauldron.
"The Emperor's blood awakened automatically, beginning to actively devour the power of thunder to strengthen itself.
Ascending to Imperial Blood requires enormous energy, and the efficiency of the Dragon Blood warriors was clearly insufficient. Dragon Soul began to act on its own. "The Qiankun Cauldron said.
When Long Chen heard that the Dragon Soul had acted himself, he immediately felt relieved. But soon, his expression changed, and he shouted at Guo Ran:
"Guo Ran, don't let your Dragon Soul control the Dragon Blood Battle Body, or you'll become an iron turtle from now on."
The so-called Iron Turtle has only defensive power but no offensive power. If it were controlled by the Hidden Dragon and Dragon Soul, it would be doomed.
Hearing Long Chen's warning, Guo Ran was startled. He quickly formed hand seals and began to compete with Dragon Soul for control of the Dragon Blood Battle Body.
Although defense is important, having defense alone without strength is useless. He definitely didn't want to be a coward, or else he wouldn't have the face to be the commander-in-chief of the Dragonblood Legion.
Previously, Qianlong Dragon Soul had mastered the Dragon God Body Refining Technique and channeled most of its energy into defense. However, without undergoing the heavenly tribulation, Guo Ran still had a chance to reclaim some energy and boost it to strength. Now was Guo Ran's only chance to turn the tide.
Guo Ran was desperately competing with the Dragon Soul of the Hidden Dragon for the power of thunder, while the others were completely relaxed, letting the Dragon Soul absorb the power of the heavenly tribulation.
Yue Zifeng, Yu Qingxuan, Bai Shishi, and Bai Xiaole sat cross-legged in the void, quietly contemplating the laws of the heavenly tribulation within the heavenly Dao of heaven. With the blessing of the dragon soul, everything was under control.
"Rumble...
Endless thunder beasts poured down, growing stronger and stronger, but the Dragonblood warriors didn't care about anything. Any thunder beasts that rushed to their side would be shattered by the power of the dragon soul.
Each of them received a drop of dragon blood from an imperial clan powerhouse. This dragon blood shared the same origin and was now controlled by each of them. But now, as they resonated with each other, it seemed to form a grand dragon blood formation.
Those fierce thunder beasts now flew like moths to a flame, pouring forward one after another, transforming into a sky full of thunder talismans—a spectacular sight.
The thunder beasts grew stronger and stronger, yet posed no threat to them. After absorbing the power of thunder, the dragonblood warriors' battle bodies rose with the tide, and as many as they came, they died.
The scales on the Dragonblood warriors were initially as thin as cicada wings, their texture like thin ice, looking like they would shatter at the slightest touch.
But as they kept absorbing the power of thunder, their scales began to thicken, and their aura and pressure grew stronger.
At the same time, strange patterns appeared, and as these patterns appeared, the scales of the Dragonblood warriors also changed.
The size, shape, pattern, and aura of the scales all changed. Some dragonblood warriors had long, thin scales, some short and thick, and some even rhombus-shaped.
Although the Dragon Blood warriors absorbed the same dragon blood in their bodies, they were attached to different dragon souls, which influenced the direction of their Dragon God Body Refining Technique. It seemed that everyone's path was different.
"Boom boom boom... More
than an hour passed. The thunder monsters grew stronger and larger, but they still couldn't do anything to the Dragonblood warriors.
The dragon patterns around them echoed each other, forming a strange formation, with thousands of giant dragons faintly visible circling around them.
Suddenly, the heavenly tribulation changed, and countless giant beasts vanished, replaced by endless ancient beings.
These beings wielded divine weapons, surging forward like a tide. They wore strange clothing and carried ancient aura, their killing intent soaring to the sky.
"Boom boom boom...
However, these beings crashed into the dragon pattern barrier of the Dragonblood Warriors and were all reduced to dust.
This was a group of terrifying beings, their strength not much weaker than the Dragonblood Warriors. If they followed the usual tribulation approach, these beings would have thrown the Dragonblood Warriors into chaos.
Now, the power of the Dragonblood warriors had converged, and the barrier was as solid as a fortress; these beings posed no threat to them at all.
Meanwhile, the Dragonblood warriors had their eyes tightly shut, in a state of lost consciousness, communicating with the dragon soul and working together to deduce their own future paths.
The Dragon God's body refinement technique is profound and vast, even the dragon clan itself cannot inherit it. Now, Long Chen has taken a different path, passing it on to the Dragon Blood Warrior, who then deduces it from the Dragon Blood Warrior and Dragon Soul. Looking back now, this is a great feat.
Seeing the dragonblood warriors' scales growing more solid, their aura more majestic, and their pressure growing ever more overwhelming, Long Chen was filled with excitement.
After this tribulation, the Dragonblood Legion will surely shake the Three Realms and become famous throughout the nine heavens. Their great name will echo throughout the world.
Time passed bit by bit. After an hour, all kinds of ancient beings vanished, replaced by thunder divine weapons.
The Giant Hammer, the Heaven-Slaying Divine Sword, and the Heaven-Piercing Spear smashed toward the Dragonblood Legion like divine weapons controlled by the Heavenly Emperor, as if they were free.
Each strike carried supreme divine power, making Long Chen's heart race with fear. This strike was enough to threaten a Saint King's powerhouse. Even Long Chen had to fight with all his might.
Moreover, those thunder divine weapons didn't come one after another; they were tens of thousands of attacks landing simultaneously. Even Long Chen felt a tingling on his scalp.
However, Long Chen also knew that this tribulation was different from before. The tribulation clouds above the Nine Heavens were gradually becoming transparent, indicating that the tribulation was nearing its end.
"Boom boom boom... The
thunder divine weapon smashed into the Dragonblood Legion, causing the Dragonblood warriors to tremble all over. Their scales cracked one by one, and faint blood seeped out.
Clearly, this thunder attack was even more destructive than Long Chen had imagined. However, the Dragon Blood warriors could still hold on. Their scales were still desperately absorbing the thunder's power, indicating that their bodies had not yet reached their limit and were rapidly improving.
This round of bombardment lasted a full three hours. The scales of the Dragonblood warriors grew increasingly tough, and the edges of the scales were infused with a layer of purple dazzling patterns, making them look even more powerful and imposing.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a thunderous explosion erupted. A giant claw that covered the sky shattered clouds in all directions, pierced through the tribulation clouds, and reached for the Dragonblood Legion.
When Long Chen saw the sky-covering giant claw, his pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needle.
