"Brother Nanchen, we five have completely subdued the Blood Dragon Order. Will you not come and perform the blood recognition ritual?" Xue Zhan's fierce shout made Chen Nan pause for a moment before he instantly shot into the sky. A line of blood erupted from his tongue, landing precisely on the Blood Dragon Order. "Sizzle sizzle sizzle!" Mist of blood bloomed from the Blood Dragon Token, accompanied by a low hum. As Chen Nan stood in mid-air, he merely waved his hand, and the Blood Dragon Order flew directly into his grasp. Clasping the Blood Dragon Order, Chen Nan was suddenly hit by a surge of murderous intent. An inexplicable rage ignited within him, fueling a desire to eliminate all who had ever offended him. 'This is dangerous! This Blood Dragon Order has absorbed who knows how much vital essence; the malevolent aura radiating from it is terrifyingly lethal. However, precisely because of this, the Blood Dragon Order is formidable, surpassing even top-tier Divine Artifacts.' Chen Nan mused to himself, surprised by the sheer generosity of the Five Supremes of the Blood Martial Hall in bestowing such an artifact upon him. The Fat and Thin Supremes let out hearty laughter. "After thousands of years, the Blood Dragon Order has finally found a master. Congratulations, Heavenly Monarch Nanchen." Their seemingly amicable demeanor only served to amplify Chen Nan's growing unease. Xue Zhan approached Chen Nan, clapping him on the shoulder. "Brother Nanchen, had you not been willing to assume the role of this Blood Dragon Envoy, our Blood Martial Hall might have seen its lineage of Blood Dragon Envoys dwindle into nothingness." "To encounter a promising young prodigy like Brother Nanchen, whose potential is limitless and strength immense, yet who is willing to serve as the Blood Dragon Envoy, is truly a blessing one could only earn through a hundred lifetimes of cultivation," Blood Kill Supreme praised, his gaze fixed on Chen Nan. "No, no!" Chen Nan's disquiet intensified. "This Blood Dragon Order..." In the next instant, Chen Nan felt the Blood Dragon Order begin to siphon his Essence Blood after acknowledging him as its master. Though the absorption rate was slow, it would undoubtedly lead to dire consequences if allowed to continue. "Blood Dragon Envoy, haha, the Blood Martial Hall has been without a Blood Dragon Envoy for many years. We must commemorate this occasion with a celebratory feast lasting three days and three nights!" The Fat Supreme appeared exceptionally pleased as he observed Chen Nan. "Blood Dragon Envoy, may we borrow your Blood Gourd?" The Fat Supreme licked his lips. "The malevolent aura within the Blood Lake can be directly absorbed, saving us the time usually spent on martial cultivation." Chen Nan rolled his eyes. "The malevolent aura on this Blood Dragon Order is so potent, and I cannot even refine it. Furthermore, why is it still draining my Essence Blood?" The Fat Supreme guffawed. "The Blood Dragon Order aims to transform everyone into a dragon, a truly powerful being. Naturally, a sacrifice is required. As long as you remain within the Blood Martial Hall, drawing power from the Blood Pond, are you afraid of running out of Essence Blood?" The Thin Supreme elaborated: "The malevolent aura shrouding the Blood Dragon Order is the very foundation of its might, making it inherently difficult to refine. In terms of raw power, after the demise of the last Blood Dragon Envoy, his malevolent soul became intrinsically bound to this Blood Dragon Order. Only if your cultivation surpasses his can you hope to eradicate it." The Fat Supreme added: "Indeed, the previous Blood Dragon Envoy's cultivation had reached the formidable Supreme Fifth Realm. During the ancient great war, only a wisp of his residual soul managed to escape into the Blood Dragon Order in the end." Chen Nan queried with a hint of doubt, "His residual soul entered this Blood Dragon Order, did it not? Why did you not assist him in resurrecting?" Cultivators, whether from the Human Clan or the Heavenly People Clan, could theoretically be brought back to life as long as a fragment of their residual soul persisted. Of course, some chose immediate reincarnation in the Netherworld, as the path to resurrection was arduous, with failure resulting in complete annihilation. "The residual soul of the last Blood Dragon Envoy claimed to have entered the Blood Dragon Order, but it was subsequently absorbed by the artifact itself. Even for a Supreme Fifth Realm expert, the power of a residual soul is significantly weakened after death. The Blood Dragon Order instantly devoured him. Soon after, the intense malevolent aura within the token caused him to lose his spiritual wisdom." Xue Zhan Supreme shook his head. "In that ancient conflict, countless Supremes perished. Though the Blood Dragon Envoy possessed immense strength, others could barely fend for themselves at the time; who could have possibly aided him?" While Xue Zhan's words carried a somber tone, Chen Nan nearly exploded upon hearing them. He came to the stark realization that the esteemed position of Blood Dragon Envoy, while seemingly advantageous, came with a treacherous pitfall in the form of the Blood Dragon Order. "You five are seniors, after all, yet you have set such a trap for me... Can I refuse this Blood Dragon Order now?" Chen Nan spoke, his attempt to discard the Blood Dragon Order already in motion.
Xue Zhan chuckled, shaking his head. "Brother, broaden your perspective. It has its pros and cons. You possess passion and courage, but despite your formidable combat power now, if you were to face a High-level Supreme of the Human Clan, you would certainly not be their match. The Blood Dragon Order can assist you in rapidly elevating your Realm." He let out a sigh, contemplating how if he had possessed the combat strength of this young man in the Heavenly Monarch Realm back then, he would undoubtedly have secured control of the Blood Dragon Order. "However, you must visit our Blood Martial Hall’s Palace periodically to draw strength from the Blood Lake and replenish your Essence Blood. Otherwise, with your current Realm, you won't be able to suppress the Evil Soul residing within the Blood Dragon Order, risking a backlash," Xue Zhan added. Blood Zhan dropped another bombshell, nearly causing Chen Nan to spew blood. He had come with the intention of trapping the Heavenly People Clan, only to find himself outmaneuvered and used by these few Supremes, feeling like a mere pawn. "Brother, you don't appear to be in the best of spirits. Do not worry, though you serve as a Hu Ben Guard under the Banner Emperor, it does not preclude you from holding the status of a Blood Dragon Envoy within our Blood Martial Hall. While Hu Ben Guard is recognized as a force of the Royal Family, it comes with numerous limitations..." "Furthermore, the Hu Ben Battle Armor is the source of the Hu Ben Guard's overall robust combat capability, whereas our Blood Martial Hall's Blood Refining Technique genuinely amplifies individual strength," Xue Zhan explained earnestly to Chen Nan, his words tinged with a degree of pride. Chen Nan listened with a heavy heart, realizing this development bound him to the Blood Martial Hall. He glanced at Ou Yifei, who also appeared to be in a state of helplessness. Chen Nan descended, clutching the Blood Dragon Order, as the Fat and Thin Supremes eagerly moved forward once more, eying the Blood Gourd. Irritated by their incessant clamor, Chen Nan employed his mind to summon the Blood Gourd, which then detached itself and flew out, with the Fat and Thin Supremes immediately swarming around it. Chen Nan finally found a moment to attempt imbuing the Blood Dragon Order with his Divine Thought, seeking to comprehend its true nature. Chen Nan grunted, swiftly retracting his Divine Thought, which had been instantly consumed by the Blood Dragon Order. "What terrifying power! Only by wielding the might of the Blood-colored Insect can this Blood Dragon Order be fully refined. This order is a formidable, malevolent artifact possessing soul-devouring capabilities," Chen Nan swiftly concluded. Nevertheless, after imprinting a blood mark using the Blood Dragon Order, his cultivation had indeed seen improvement; in a way, it proved to be mutually beneficial. "Ha-ha, Shangguan Xue is away, Brother Nanchen, you are now the foremost figure in our Blood Martial Hall. This period is when the Void Ancient Dragons migrate in vast numbers. Why don't we gather more blood to enrich the Blood Lake, thereby accelerating our cultivation advancements?" the Fat Supreme proposed cheerfully. Chen Nan had previously drawn power from their Blood Lake, much to the distress of the Fat and Thin Supremes. Now, as fellow Blood Dragon Envoys, they were all in the same predicament. "Can I possibly refuse?" Chen Nan felt a surge of frustration. He had just attained a new status, initially intending to boast before the Demon Path Supreme, but now, he had been reduced to a mere laborer instead.
