Chapter 1706: Blood Rites And Ancestral Blood
The massive Myriad Dragons Necropolis had been covered by a sea of blood that stretched as far as the eye could see, and the atmosphere was desolate and violent. Countless ancient draconic roars permeated the air, echoing endlessly. The experts from the Dragon Race had returned to their true forms, diving into the depths of the blood sea as they used the violent energies to baptise and temper their bodies.
This was a time of momentous celebration for the Dragon Race. The Ten Thousand Dragons' Ancestral Blood Rites was a grand occasion, and even though the members of the Dragon Race had long lifespans, not everyone was guaranteed to experience it.
Li Luo, Li Tianji, and Lin Miao followed Zhen Linshuang, Ao Yan, and the rest, going deeper into the Myriad Dragons Necropolis. The blood rites in the outer region were of no help to them. Only by entering the second layer could they start to find traces of Ancestral Blood, which would greatly strengthen their bodies and bolster their foundations. This was the main reason they had travelled tens of thousands of miles to get here.
At the very front, Zhen Linshuang turned her head to shoot a glance at the trio before lightly snorting. The fact that outsiders were participating in the grandest of rites for the Dragon Race was indeed an eyesore to her. That said, the most important thing for her was to swiftly make her way into the third layer and obtain the Ancestral Blood. There was no time to deal with them.
With that in mind, her movements lightened and the void shattered. She shot forward with incomprehensible speed, swiftly streaking across the void by taking advantage of the strength of her formidable body, which allowed her to endure the turbulence of spatial rifts. In just a few moments, she crossed countless mountains and seas, leaving everyone far behind.
When Li Luo saw this, he couldn't help but sigh in amazement in his heart. Zhen Linshuang's body possessed so much latent power that it was terrifying. There was no skill involved in her fast speed; instead, she had crashed through space in the most overbearing manner and forcefully resisted the turbulence that accompanied it.
After Zhen Linshuang sped up, the others activated their various methods to keep up as well. Li Luo was surrounded by a raging gale that transformed into wind source origin. With his hands behind his back, he stepped on the azure wind and walked leisurely as though strolling through a park. However, he was so fast that even Li Tianji and Lin Miao had problems keeping up, despite being Triple Crowned Kings.
It was at this point that the sea of blood began to churn and a rain of blood descended from the sky. The violent worldly natural energy that surrounded them became denser as a result. At the same time, a heavy pressure descended on everyone present, causing their bodies to feel sluggish.
"We're in the second layer of the blood rites!" Lin Miao shouted in exhilaration.
When Li Luo heard his words, he looked around and saw that the number of experts from the Dragon Race had dwindled drastically. It seemed that Pinnacle Dukes couldn't go further. The ones who could proceed were racing away in every direction with jubilant expressions. As their bodies weaved through the rain, they would occasionally dive into the sea of blood below, clearly to find traces of Ancestral Blood. Li Tianji and Lin Miao also scattered to search for their own opportunities.
