Chapter 107 - 97: Continuous Replication, Half a Year Later
Lu Changfeng had fused the Ancient Sword Bone Dragon with his scalp, passively turning his hair dark gold.
The Ancient Chongming Bird was fused with his vocal cords, making his voice bright and giving it a natural evil-dispelling effect.
He fused the Ancient Candle Dragon with his brow, which left a mark between his eyebrows. When he used a Demon Fiend Skill, it could open and use Bloodline Energy to manifest the Eye of the Candle Dragon.
The Ancient Snow Python was fused with his heart.
And the Ancient Ba Snake was fused with his waist.
Moreover, after more than half a year of cultivation, Lu Changfeng, with his Hero’s Root Bone, had swiftly broken through to the Middle Grade Tendon Transformation Realm.
His Inner Strength had undergone a transformation. Wielding a longsword, he could now project a Sword Aura three feet long from its tip.
On this day, Lu Changfeng successfully finished replicating the final strand of the Ancient Ba Snake.
He then summoned Xuansha, Xuannu, Xuanxin, and Xuanchen—four Bone Refining Fifth Layer experts from the Dark Buddha Demon Sect—to the Ninth Layer of the Buddha Tower.
The Ninth Layer of the Buddha Tower was ventilated from all four directions. Lu Changfeng sat cross-legged in the center on a meditation cushion made of animal hide.
The four eminent monks of the Dark Buddha Demon Sect arrived together and sat down, one by one, across from Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng spoke, "I imagine you’re all curious why I turned those Daliang People who possess Demon Fiend Bloodlines into Human Pigs."
"I wonder, does the Dark Buddha Demon Sect have a method for plundering bloodlines?"
Xuansha nodded. "We do, of course. However, the Demon Fiend Bloodline inheritance in our Dark Buddha Demon Sect was severed long ago. If one were to plunder a bloodline at random, the success rate would be quite low."
"To be honest with you, Saint Master, in the past decade, two of my senior brothers have already died from their bodies exploding after failing to forcibly plunder a Demon Fiend Bloodline."
Lu Changfeng nodded.
That was only natural.
’Without an interface to analyze the compatibility rate, or without being a clansman of the same lineage, the success rate of plundering a bloodline was very low.’
’Unless Xuansha and the others were willing to keep trying and risking their lives, there was only a small chance that one of them might actually succeed. The cost was simply too great.’
"I have a method," Lu Changfeng said, "that can greatly increase the success rate of plundering a bloodline, allowing you to obtain one and advance to the Rebirth Realm. Are you willing to try?"
The monks exchanged glances, and Xuansha spoke up. "May I ask the Saint Master, what are the chances of success?"
Lu Changfeng said, "I will only act if the chance of success is at least fifty percent."
The monks nodded. "With odds like that, we are willing to try!"
At the Bone Forging Fifth Layer, one could live for one hundred and fifty years at most. The oldest among them, Xuanxin, was already over one hundred years old.
Even if Lu Changfeng hadn’t made this offer, Xuanxin would have tried to find a way to plunder a bloodline before his death, to see if he could break through to the Rebirth Realm and live for another hundred years.
And that was before considering that Lu Changfeng had said he would only act if the success rate was over fifty percent.
"Good. Come over here, and I will use a Secret Technique to test your bloodline compatibility."
Lu Changfeng touched the shoulder of each monk, one by one.
As he did, the interface analyzed whether any of his bloodlines had a compatibility rate of fifty percent or higher with the monks.
Lu Changfeng had overestimated the random success rate of bloodline matching.
Lu Changfeng possessed five Demon Fiend Bloodlines, and before him stood four monks at the Bone Refining Fifth Layer.
But according to the interface’s conclusion, not a single one of them reached a compatibility rate of over fifty percent.
’Then what is the highest compatibility rate?’ Lu Changfeng asked inwardly.
"The highest compatibility rate is forty-five percent. This is the success chance for Xuansha’s match with the Ancient Ba Snake."
Hearing this, Lu Changfeng frowned and looked at Xuansha.
"If there’s a forty-five percent chance, Xuansha, are you willing to try?"
Xuansha’s attitude was resolute. Without a second thought, he said, "I am willing to try."
"Are you certain?" Lu Changfeng pressed.
Xuansha nodded firmly. "If I advance to the Rebirth Realm, I can more quickly assist you, Saint Master, in unifying the Saint Demon Sect."
"If I fail the bloodline fusion and die, Xuannu and the others will still be here to assist you. No matter how you look at it, the risk is worth taking."
Lu Changfeng finally nodded.
"The rest of you may leave. Xuansha, stay."
Xuannu and the other two left, leaving only Lu Changfeng and Xuansha on the Ninth Layer of the Buddha Tower.
Xuansha asked curiously, "Saint Master, aren’t we going to the underground prison to plunder the bloodline?"
Lu Changfeng replied, "I have already used a Secret Technique to extract the relevant Demon Fiend Bloodline. You needn’t worry. Just focus on taking care of those Human Pigs and keeping them alive for as long as possible."
Xuansha said in admiration, "Your methods are truly incredible, Saint Master!"
Lu Changfeng waved his hand, signaling for Xuansha to adjust his physical state.
After Xuansha closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and his breathing gradually stabilized, Lu Changfeng placed a hand on his shoulder.
’Interface, transfer the entire Ancient Ba Snake bloodline into Xuansha’s body.’
"Bloodline compatibility detected at forty-five percent. Failure carries a risk of death by head explosion. Proceed with transfer?"
’Begin!’ Lu Changfeng commanded inwardly.
"Beginning transfer! Stripping the bloodline will cause a sensation of weakness. Host, be advised!"
Lu Changfeng felt the Ancient Ba Snake bloodline at his waist begin to contract and gather, then rapidly surge toward his hand.
It finally condensed into a ray of black light that slowly poured from Lu Changfeng’s fingertips into Xuansha’s body.
Soon, the Ancient Ba Snake bloodline was completely transferred from Lu Changfeng’s body into Xuansha’s, and the corresponding entry for the Ancient Ba Snake vanished from the interface.
After receiving Lu Changfeng’s bloodline, Xuansha’s brows furrowed tightly. His body began to tremble and heat up, his skin turning bright red.
Once the transfer was complete, Lu Changfeng sat quietly before Xuansha to observe.
After a long while, the redness on Xuansha’s body finally faded, and his tightly furrowed brow relaxed.
Xuansha opened his eyes, rose to his feet, and gave Lu Changfeng a deep bow. "Thank you, Saint Master, for this gift of rebirth!"
’Not bad luck. A forty-five percent chance, and he actually succeeded!’
’This guy Xuansha’s luck is incredible!’
Lu Changfeng asked eagerly, "How do you feel? Can you use your Bloodline Power?"
