Chapter 2523 Empowering The Rain Dragon Bloodline
The Flood Dragon had already told Lin Mu that the Golden Cage was made such that if his link to the tool was severed a part of his vitality would also be cut off. If it was the Flood Dragon from its peak, it would be fine other than being injured a bit.
But having been restrained here for hundreds of thousands of years, it had grown weak and the injury would have been enough to kill him.
The stimulation of its bloodline though was now allowing it to hold on for longer.
"Now!" The Flood Dragon shouted through the pain.
"Hold on," Lin Mu said as he shifted his attention to the Beast Qi.
This time the infusion of Beast Qi needed to be carefully controlled as the Flood Dragon's vitality was weakened and it was injured. If Lin Mu released a large amount of it at once, it could easily overwhelm the Flood Dragon and kill it instead of saving it.
It was the same as injecting a large amount of Qi into a new cultivator. Their body was not accustomed to it and neither were their meridians strong enough to bear it thus they would only end up exploding in the end.
But if the same amount of Qi was provided at a steady rate, they would be able to absorb and improve their meridians allowing them to improve to their full potential.
The same could be said for the Flood Dragon. The first infusion was just there to help the Flood Dragon bear the recoil from the Golden Cage, it was the second infusion that was actually going to help him overcome the limitations of his bloodline.
~HUALA~ The Beast Qi turned into a thin strand and rose from Lin Mu's hand like a thread from a spool in a loom. It moved at a fixed pace and steadily entered the Flood Dragon's body allowing him to absorb it in the most efficient manner.
~ROAR~
The Bloodline Figure of the Rain Dragon appeared above his head once more and its ethereal form began to turn more and more corporal. Fine details began being added as its scales became well defined. Its horns rose and became sharp, while its teeth shone against the light of the Qi.
The eyes of the Rain Dragon showed a great wisdom within them while the Clouds and rivers swirling around it became dense.
Slowly and steadily, the Bloodline Figure took a majestic appearance, awing everyone that saw it.
"So that's a True Rain Dragon…" Crown Prince Feng Shun had never seen one before and found it to be quite stunning. He had seen the Azure Dragon before which was also a True Dragon, but the comparison between the two was different. If the Azure Dragon was representative of the east and abundance, then the Rain dragon was a representative of bounty, rain and the wisdom that was brought with it.
'The records don't do justice to its appearance.' Ziran thought to himself.
He had seen many records describing the Rain Dragon, but this was his first instance seeing its bloodline figure with his own two eyes. If not for the fact that the bloodline figure lacked the aura of a True Dragon, one might even be mistaken that there wasn't just one but two dragons present here.
Only when the Aura of a True Dragon was achieved by the Bloodline Figure would the Flood Dragon be able to become one as well.
As of now even if his bloodline had gotten richer, it would still need time and effort to evolve into it.
The process lasted about thirty minutes after which the condition of the Flood Dragon improved considerably. The wavering vitality stabilized while its aura grew.
~HONGLONG~
But that was just the start as the Rain Dragon's bloodline figure returned to the Flood Dragon's body, granting him the greatest benefit.
~WOOOO~
A great burst of vitality was felt from Qiulong Jiao making everyone's heart beast faster.
"Look at its Life Scale!" Daoist Chu pointed. "Its glowing brightly!"
The Life Scale that had become mottled and cracked had now been mended. Its shine had returned and it had become smooth once more, showing that the Flood Dragon had regained quite a lot of its longevity!
"AHAHAHA!" The Flood Dragon let out a thunderous laugh that stirred up currents in the water.
If it weren't for the people around, it might have already broken out in a Dragon Dance!
"Haa~ it's finally done." Lin Mu felt relieved that the process had gone smoothly.
"You've held up your end of the bargain, now it's time for me to do mine." The Flood Dragon spoke feeling joyous. "Go ahead, take it." He permitted. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Mmhmm." Lin Mu simply hummed in response and went towards the Golden cage, extending his hand at its door.
~GONG~
But just as his hand touched it, Lin Mu felt like a bolt of lightning had just struck his body.
"ARGH!" Lin Mu felt his entire body shake and his defenses couldn't even block it.
~BOOM~
He was knocked back with great force, and slammed into the walls of the prison.
"Daoist Lin Mu!" "HELP HIM!"
His companions quickly rushed to check on Lin Mu, but Crown Prince was wary and looked at the golden cage.
"What is the meaning of this?" he had thought that Lin Mu had a deal with the Flood Dragon.
But it wasn't just him that was confused.
"This cannot be!" The Flood Dragon was astonished as well. "It shouldn't have that much power left!" ~CLANG~
The Golden Cage shook as its pedestal receded into the floor in the blink of an eye.
"DAMMIT!" Seeing it slip past their grasp, Crown Prince Feng Shun couldn't help but curse.
"How did it…" Lin Mu who had recovered from the impact looked at the scene and was confused.
~RUMBLE~
A second later though, the entire Atlantean City began to shake before everyone felt the very water shift.
"THOSE ATLANTEAN BASTARDS! THEY NEVER TRUSTED ME TO KEEP IT SAFE!" Qiulong Jiao roared in anger.
