Chapter 894: Adamant Lion-Tiger Transformation
Altogether, Tang San currently possessed ten bloodline imprints. Now that he was at the eleventh order, he could afford adding another one, but that was not going to be the Adamant Nymph bloodline.
The Adamant Nymph Emperor's bloodline was naturally a first-tier bloodline, but not all first-tier bloodlines were equal. In Tang San's opinion, in its pure state, this bloodline wasn't particularly useful. Its greatest advantage was boosting his defensive capabilities, but that was that. Integrating it in the free slot was certainly possible, but the problem was that Tang San preferred to leave one slot open, just in case. For instance, when he encountered Jin Miaosen, it was only by absorbing her Blue Gold Tree bloodline that Tang San was able to conceal his true identity before the Ancestral Tree, leading to a series of important benefits. Therefore, this slot had to remain available for emergencies.
Among Tang San's bloodline imprints, the best choice to combine with the Adamant Nymph bloodline was the Lion-Tiger Transformation, which offered both offense and defense. The Dragon Roc Transformation was also a possibility, but its primary function lay in flight, and activating it would cause wings to appear, making it harder for Tang San to conceal his identity. Additionally, its flexibility would be diminished. As for the other bloodlines, they were even less suitable; Tang San didn't dare to fuse more transcendent bloodlines right now, so the Golden Armor Transformation wasn't an option.
Before killing the Adamant Nymph Emperor, Tang San had already decided on the fusion path for the Adamant Nymph bloodline. Thus, now that he was in a safe and quiet place, he immediately used the Lion-Tiger bloodline imprint to absorb the power of the Adamant Nymph bloodline.
The latter's aura was incredibly dense, and as soon as it came into contact with the Lion-Tiger Transformation, it immediately began to take effect. Under the pressure of Tang San's powerful divine consciousness, the two started to fuse. However, during this process of extraction, the originally sealed Adamant Nymph Emperor's bloodline imprint began to stir restlessly.
Even Tang San found it difficult to suppress it. He had to use the power of all his other bloodlines to block it, preventing the aura from bursting out and overwhelming him. Thankfully, the life energy of the Ancestral Tree washed over his body repeatedly, helping him endure the strain.
The initial part of a fusion was always the most challenging. His body, despite its strength, struggled to withstand the impact of the Emperor-level energy. Tang San constantly felt as though his body might explode from the pressure.
Yet his mind remained calm and steady. He had thoroughly prepared for this moment, and if his body couldn't withstand it, he had other methods at his disposal.
The Spacetime Lighthouse guarded his sea of consciousness. As the Adamant Nymph bloodline power began to lash out wildly, space ripples appeared around the yet-to-be-fused bloodline imprint.
