King of Creation Chapter 1650 - 1635: Kill Him to Appease My Hatred
Previously on King of Creation...
As soon as Yuann Yinying’s essence blood, brimming with immense spiritual power, along with the origin essence blood marked by countless Dao Patterns from prolonged hard cultivation, dropped into the Five-clawed Silver Dragon’s mouth.
The Five-clawed Silver Dragon’s aura, which had been plummeting fast from essence blood depletion, suddenly eased its fall.
Transforming ingested energy into personal strength in the briefest time is a natural talent shared by most Demon Race members.
To the Five-clawed Silver Dragon, the essence blood from a mighty figure like Yuann Yinying, a half-step Dao Realm powerhouse, serves as an exceptional elixir. Especially since Yuann Yinying contributed a thread of his origin essence blood.
Yuann Yinying belongs to the Holy Eagle Family, an offshoot of the Ancient Human Clan. With the Divine Eagle Heavenly Eye awakened, the blood in Yuann Yinying’s veins is undoubtedly from the Ancient Human Clan.
In this scenario, the origin essence blood in Yuann Yinying naturally bears the marks of the ancient human bloodline’s power.
Merely with this sliver of origin essence blood from the ancient human clan, the Five-clawed Silver Dragon couldn’t merge it, and even if fusion occurred, it wouldn’t gain any ancient human lineage.
Yet, the power within this origin essence blood, infused with ancient human clan strength, surpasses Yuann Yinying’s regular essence blood by hundreds of times.
The essence blood Yuann Yinying keeps supplying to the Five-clawed Silver Dragon amounts to less than one ten-thousandth of the true dragon essence blood the Five-clawed Silver Dragon has lost. If not, Yuann Yinying’s essence blood infusion might have boosted the Five-clawed Silver Dragon’s cultivation instead of letting it drop.
"Master...."
Yuann Yinying’s this act touched the Five-clawed Silver Dragon deeply, filling it with overwhelming emotion.
Compared to Demon Race essence blood and origin essence blood, the human clan’s versions hold even greater value. The Five-clawed Silver Dragon had never dreamed its master would go to such lengths.
All past resentments evaporated completely.
At present, the Five-clawed Silver Dragon focused solely on finding ways to repay its master properly once it escaped this deadly ordeal.
Warriors beyond the Guardian Light Screen all praised Yuann Yinying’s deed with thumbs up.
Numerous warriors claimed that possessing a powerful, high-potential Five-clawed Silver Dragon of such noble bloodline would prompt them to act similarly.
Irrespective of motives, this deed radiates unwavering loyalty and dedication.
Frankly, Ye Zhen respected Yuann Yinying’s sacrifice of his own essence blood to save his mount, calling him a true man. Ye Zhen felt a strong connection to this idea.
Should the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten one day require Ye Zhen’s origin essence blood for survival, Ye Zhen would offer it instantly without second thoughts.
That said, matters come with their own nuances.
Ye Zhen appreciated Yuann Yinying’s present conduct, but the bargained one million catties of Five-clawed Silver Dragon’s origin essence blood remained non-negotiable, not reducible by a single drop.
Even should the Five-clawed Silver Dragon perish before his eyes, Ye Zhen’s determination wouldn’t waver an inch. He might even feel delighted.
Following this clash, Ye Zhen, already tied to the Holy Eagle Family’s pride and reputation, had thoroughly antagonized them.
Yuann Hongying and Yuann Yinying had turned into Ye Zhen’s irreconcilable foes.
Right now, Ye Zhen hoped the Five-clawed Silver Dragon would perish, thereby diminishing Yuann Yinying’s strength.
Nevertheless, Yuann Yinying’s use of his essence blood and origin essence blood to offset the Five-clawed Silver Dragon’s losses greatly lowered the chance of death from blood exhaustion.
Even so, both Yuann Yinying and the Five-clawed Silver Dragon faced steep cultivation drops from ongoing massive essence blood loss.
Yuann Yinying fared somewhat better. Though he sustained the Five-clawed Silver Dragon with his essence blood and origin essence blood, the volume remained tightly regulated.
Hence, while Yuann Yinying’s cultivation aura kept falling, it merely declined from Peak Ninth Stage Realm King Realm to Mid Ninth Stage.
The Five-clawed Silver Dragon suffered far worse. After shedding over eight to nine hundred thousand catties of true dragon essence blood, its cultivation aura tumbled from Peak Ninth Stage Realm King Realm to Peak Eighth Stage!
It appeared just one level lower, with the setback seeming minor.
Yet, Demon Race and Human Clan differ profoundly.
The human clan leads all sentient races, born frail yet advancing swiftly post-birth.
Consequently, sixty percent of worldwide Dao Realm experts hail from the human clan.
The Demon Race boasts innate might, but higher realm progressions slow dramatically, particularly for untransformed demons, who face hurdles a hundredfold tougher than humans in reaching Dao Realm.
Still, newly ascended human Dao Realm warriors might fail against long-stagnant Peak Ninth Stage Realm King Realm demons.
Peak Ninth Stage-bound demons, breakthrough-blocked, keep piling up and refining their cultivation power endlessly.
Such demons embody the notion of boundless magic power.
Though bottlenecked in realm, their magic power stays inexhaustible.
Take the Five-clawed Silver Dragon ahead, stuck at Peak Ninth Stage for five full millennia.
Over those five thousand years, its cultivation power had swelled to unimaginable heights.
Thus, despite forfeiting over eight hundred thousand catties of true dragon essence blood, the Five-clawed Silver Dragon’s aura only fell from Peak Ninth Stage to Peak Eighth Stage.
Put differently, the Five-clawed Silver Dragon’s realm drop erased its five thousand years of toil, all turned to dust, to Ye Zhen’s gain.
The Five-clawed Silver Dragon’s body shrinkage revealed this truth.
Its true form once spanned over three thousand meters; now, it measured just over two thousand meters.
Five thousand years of grueling cultivation!
Only the Five-clawed Silver Dragon knows the depth of its heartache.
And this occurred despite Yuann Yinying’s origin essence blood aid.
Worst of all was witnessing five thousand years of vast cultivation accumulation vanish, as true dragon essence blood drained swiftly, sending the Five-clawed Silver Dragon’s aura into a nosedive.
Mid Eighth Stage Realm King, Peak Seventh Stage, Mid Seventh Stage....
The Five-clawed Silver Dragon’s aura crashed wildly; Yuann Yinying watched powerless as Di Kuohai and his avatar relentlessly filled custom large barrels with preserved true dragon essence blood, gripped by despair.
Why not halt briefly, giving the Five-clawed Silver Dragon a moment to recover?
Yet they pressed on unceasingly.
Beyond helplessness, Yuann Yinying felt baffled.
Had young Di Kuohai foreseen his triumph, hence readying countless custom large barrels beforehand?
Did Di Kuohai predict the three-move wager, prompting such prior setup?
Should that hold true, it proved utterly chilling.
Yuann Yinying deemed it improbable, yet Ye Zhen’s bottomless stock of custom barrels begged explanation.
On this, Ye Zhen could merely note it as a splendid misconception.
After extracting true dragon essence blood from North Sea County’s Blue-scaled Dragon Palace Crown Prince Ao Zheng, Ye Zhen had mass-produced tens of thousands of containers suited for true dragon essence blood.
Subsequently, they served in gathering true dragon essence blood from the Blue-scaled Dragon King.
Presently, those same containers stored the Five-clawed Silver Dragon’s true dragon essence blood.
Ye Zhen could only call it a stroke of lucky happenstance.
Never did Ye Zhen expect this to spawn such a captivating misunderstanding for Yuann Yinying.
Ultimately, as Yuann Yinying’s cultivation aura hit Late Eighth Stage, and the Five-clawed Silver Dragon’s dropped to Initial Fifth Stage with its body under two thousand meters, the sky’s Mountain God Yi Xun, who had silently tallied throughout, bellowed, "Enough!"
By then, pallid-faced Yuann Yinying and the essence-blood-drained, quivering Five-clawed Silver Dragon, scarcely able to stand or keep eyes open, teetered in frailty.
"One million catties, that’s sufficient!" Ye Zhen calmly clasped hands toward Yuann Yinying.
Face ashen, Yuann Yinying raised his head defiantly, declaring with pride, "When Yuann makes a promise, it stands firm! From this day forward, all grudges between us are erased; Yuann won’t seek you out.
However, next time we cross paths, no matter the place, Yuann will exert full force to slay you at once!"
