War God Long Ao

Lifebound Divine Abilities?

Long Ao had no idea what these "Lifebound Divine Abilities" that Long Chen spoke of were.

"Long Chen, what are Lifebound Divine Abilities?"

"Long Ao, there’s something you don’t know. Are you aware of the relationship between our Long Clan and Dragon Valley?"

He shook his head. Long Ao truly didn’t know the specifics. He knew that the Long Clan and Dragon Valley were in an alliance, and that only disciples of the Long Clan in the entire Celestial Martial Continent could enter Dragon Valley to become Dragon Martial Artists.

"The ancestor of the Long Clan was an unparalleled, heaven-sent genius. He emerged during the Ancient Times and bonded with the ancestor of the Dragon Race to become a Dragon Martial Artist. Together, they swept across the world, looking down upon the heavens."

Long Chen didn’t need to say more. Long Ao, of course, knew how powerful the ancestors of the Long Clan and the Dragon Race were.

"During the Ancient Times, the two ancestors were unexpectedly defeated and suffered grave injuries. In order to recover and become even stronger, they exchanged their Life Essence Blood. To their surprise, the two ancestors instantly broke through their limits, reaching an unprecedented level of power."

’Fuck.’

Long Ao cursed viciously in his heart.

He had never imagined that with the formidable strength of the two ancestors, someone could actually manage to injure them. Just thinking about it, he could guess how incredibly powerful that person must have been.

Long Ao seemed to have already guessed something.

"But after breaking through their limits, the two ancestors were obliterated by the Celestial Dao and ultimately became Fallen. Since then, the bloodline of the Long Clan has slowly weakened."

’The Celestial Dao?’

Long Ao had some understanding of the Celestial Dao.

The Celestial Dao was the consciousness born from Heaven and Earth—misty and ethereal. No one knew if the Celestial Dao truly existed, but from the sound of it now, it seemed it really did.

"Long Ao, back then, when our ancestor received the blood of the Dragon Race’s ancestor, he actually developed Talent Divine Abilities, also known as Lifebound Divine Abilities. From that point on, any disciple of the Long Clan has a one-in-a-thousand chance of developing Lifebound Divine Abilities."

"I still don’t understand."

"It’s simple. Take Devouring, for example. If you can develop the Devouring Divine Ability, you can devour the blood of others. Understand?"

Nodding, Long Ao now understood.

"As time went on, the bloodline of the Long Clan’s disciples grew thinner and thinner. As a result, fewer and fewer disciples were able to develop Lifebound Divine Abilities. Every disciple who does is a treasure to the Long Clan."

A look of yearning crossed Long Chen’s face as he thought about developing Lifebound Divine Abilities.

"The Dragon Race’s baptism... Back then, the ancestor’s ancestor, the Ancient Divine Dragon, was incomparably powerful, and its bloodline was terrifyingly potent. Because of this, even disciples who originally had no hope of developing Lifebound Divine Abilities can increase their chances by a fair bit if they enter the ancestral hall for the baptism."

"Long Chen, I’ll say it again: regardless of who won or lost our battle, you are still number one hundred on the Dragon Ranking. You should be the one to go to the Long Clan’s ancestral hall for the baptism."

"Long Ao..."

Waving his hand, Long Ao didn’t give Long Chen any chance to speak. "This matter is settled. I will not be going to the Long Clan."

After giving Long Ao a deep look, Long Chen nodded. When it came to giving up this opportunity, he was completely unwilling. He didn’t stand on ceremony any longer; after all, the opportunity had originally been his.

More importantly, if he could go to the Long Clan for the ancestral hall baptism and was lucky enough to develop a Lifebound Divine Ability, not only would his strength double, but he would also soar to new heights.

"Alright, I’ll be leaving now. I hope you grow strong quickly. Long Ao, I firmly believe that you will be able to develop your own Talent Divine Abilities. I look forward to it."

Watching Long Chen leave, Long Ao now knew much more about the matters of the Long Clan.

Talent Divine Abilities.

「Inside the Dragon Seal Space.」

"Long Fu, do you know about the Talent Divine Abilities of the Long Clan and the Dragon Race?"

Long Ao was well aware that the Dragon Seal was an ancient Venerable Divine Artifact and must know the secrets of the Long Clan and the Dragon Race.

As expected.

"Master, I am somewhat familiar with the two ancestors of the Long Clan and the Dragon Race. I must admit, they were among the most powerful beings in all of Heaven and Earth. It’s a pity they provoked the Celestial Dao and were mercilessly slain. As for the Talent Divine Abilities you just mentioned, they are actually a special, terrifyingly powerful ability developed with the help of the Dragon Race’s blood."

"Are there many kinds of Talent Divine Abilities?"

"Yes. The type of Talent Divine Ability a Dragon Martial Artist develops depends on their Dragon Companion’s blood and any mutations that occur."

"Long Fu, can I develop a Talent Divine Ability?"

Long Ao was filled with anticipation, but he was unwilling to go to the Long Clan for the so-called ancestral hall baptism.

"Master, I had originally planned to wait until your Cultivation broke through to the Great Emperor Realm before helping you develop a Talent Divine Ability. But since you already know about it, we can begin now. Among all the Talent Divine Abilities that Dragon Martial Artists can develop, the most powerful is the one developed by the Long Clan’s ancestor and the Ancient Divine Dragon back then."

"What Talent Divine Ability?"

"The Talent Divine Ability, Dragon’s Roar."

’Dragon’s Roar?’

"Master, it would be very difficult for you and Long Qiang to develop the Dragon Roar Divine Ability on your own. However, we possess the God-Locking Pearl and the Godslaying Mirror. By fusing them, and also fusing your blood, I am eighty percent confident I can help you develop the Talent Divine Ability, Dragon’s Roar."

Joy erupted in his heart. After all, Long Ao now knew crystal clear what a Talent Divine Ability represented.

"Master, the Dragon’s Roar Talent Divine Ability allows you to alter the flow of time and even freeze time itself. The most powerful force in all of Heaven and Earth is not Thunder Tribulation Power, but Time Power. Only by mastering Time Power can one possibly become the world’s strongest Martial Artist. If the Long Clan ancestor and the Ancient Divine Dragon hadn’t been so conspicuous back then, I believe they wouldn’t have provoked the Celestial Dao and brought about their own deaths."

Time Power.

Long Ao handed the God-Locking Pearl and the Godslaying Mirror to Long Fu. According to Long Fu, to develop the Dragon’s Roar Talent Divine Ability, they first had to refine the two treasures. No one else could possibly accomplish this; only the Blood Pool within the Dragon’s Roar Space was capable of refining the God-Locking Pearl and the Godslaying Mirror.

It was unclear how long this would take. The joy in Long Ao’s heart was self-evident. He was likely the first person in history who could develop a so-called Talent Divine Ability without entering the Long Clan’s ancestral hall for the baptism.

"Master, you and Long Qiang must completely exchange your blood. Only then will it be possible for you to develop a Talent Divine Ability."

Nodding, Long Ao didn’t hesitate in the slightest. He immediately began to exchange Life Essence Blood with Long Qiang. The entire process was completed in just a short hour. All that remained was to wait for the God-Locking Pearl and the Godslaying Mirror to be refined, and then he could officially begin developing his Talent Divine Ability.
