Kang Shin-mu was at the end of the line. In other words, he had to wait for everyone else to transform into dragons before it was his turn to go to the Coiling Dragon Pillar to collect the Divine Dragon's inheritance blood essence.
It was probably because he was the focus of this grand event, the one who attracted the most attention. So he was arranged to be the last to be seen.
Around the Dragon King Altar, countless Divine Dragons raised their heads in anticipation. This time, there were over a hundred young geniuses who would truly transform into dragons. It represented the entire Jiang tribal clan becoming stronger.
Moreover, what they were most concerned about was whether or not someone would obtain the Heavenly Dragon's inheritance blood essence.
How many people would obtain the True Dragon's inheritance blood essence?
This was an extremely important day in the Jiang tribal clan. The experts of the five palaces were basically all present. They all wanted to see the rise of their respective young geniuses.
Soon, the first youth went on stage.
It was a youth with his hair tied up. He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and had a valiant figure. To be able to step into the Dragon Ascension Realm at this age, he could be considered a small genius. It must be known that ordinary people would only be able to step into the Dragon Ascension Realm at the age of forty or fifty.
Because of this, when this youth walked towards the Coiling Dragon Pillar, his brows carried a strong sense of confidence.
This time, he was here to transform into a dragon. At the very least, he wanted to inherit the True Dragon's inheritance blood essence from the Coiling Dragon Pillar!
On the stage, the Coiling Dragon Pillar glowed with seven-colored light. The light soared into the sky, forming an incomparably wondrous scene. Only on the day of the Flame Dragon Ritual would the Coiling Dragon Pillar have such a change.
On this day, as long as one stepped into the Dragon Ascension Realm, they could reach out and grab the Divine Dragon's inheritance blood essence from the Coiling Dragon Pillar. Whether one could grab the Mortal Dragon's, True Dragon's, or Sky Dragon's inheritance blood essence depended on the talent of the person grabbing it.
Generally speaking, the earlier one stepped into the Dragon Ascension Realm, the higher the quality of the Divine Dragon's inheritance blood essence. But it was not absolute.
The youth stepped onto the stage, and under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, he reached out and grabbed at the Coiling Dragon Pillar that was surrounded by seven-colored light. Immediately, a burst of fire soared into the sky, and a resounding dragon roar exploded from the Coiling Dragon Pillar.
Immediately after, a burst of fiery scarlet light rose from the Coiling Dragon Pillar that was glowing with seven-colored light. It transformed into a Flame Divine Dragon's image. Its body was over thirty feet long, it was awe-inspiring, and it gave off an impressive wind!
"It's a True Dragon! It's the True Dragon's Blood Essence!"
"My son did it. He really inherited the True Dragon's Blood Essence. It seems that there is hope for my bloodline to continue!"
"Who would've thought that the first person this time would be able to obtain the inheritance blood essence of a true dragon. I hope that there will be more people with good harvests, allowing our Jiang Clan's strength to rise to another level."
Everyone had their own opinions about the young man with the bunched-up hair. Everyone had a good impression of him.
Then, the 300-meter-long shadow of the Divine Fire Dragon quickly turned into a drop of Divine Dragon's Blood Essence. It fell from the sky and covered the young man's body.
The young man was overjoyed. He had been looking forward to this day ever since he was born!
Although it was only a True Dragon and not a Heavenly Dragon, how could the Heavenly Dragon's Inheritance Essence Blood be that easy to obtain?
The entire Jiang Clan could not be counted on one hand, so there was no need for such extravagant hopes.
Being able to inherit the True Dragon's Blood Essence was already pretty good.
When the drop of Divine Dragon's Blood Essence landed on the young man's head, there was a burst of fire. The young man's entire body turned into a Divine Dragon.
At this point, the young man finally transformed into a dragon. He turned into a 300-meter-long True Dragon covered in Crimson Fire. It was majestic. With a dragon's roar, the Crimson Fire Dragon could not help but soar high into the sky. It quickly circled above the Dragon King's altar!
Countless people below cast envious looks at him. One must know that there were many people in the dojo who had not been able to transform into dragons. Some of them would never be able to do so in their entire lives.
Seeing the young man transform into a Crimson Fire Dragon, and it was a True Dragon's Inheritance Essence Blood, how could they not be envious?
In the dojo, there were some people who did not care about this scene. One of them was Kang Shin-mu.
A True Dragon was still too weak for Kang Shin-mu. If he were to obtain the True Dragon's Inheritance Essence Blood, then what followed would definitely be a storm that would knock him down to the bottom of the valley.
He was Jiang Longjun's only son!
He was Jiang Zizai's son!
Thinking of Jiang Zizai, at the age of eighteen, he managed to obtain the Heavenly Dragon's Inheritance Essence Blood. He brought the Crimson Horned Demon Dragon to conquer the world. His outstanding military service earned him the name "Jiang Longjun", which was bestowed by the Emperor of the Yan Dragon Emperor dynasty!
If Kang Shin-mu could not inherit the Third Grade Divine Dragon, which was the Heavenly Dragon's Inheritance Essence Blood, then his and his mother's survival in the Jiang tribe would become extremely difficult.
As Kang Shin-mu thought of this, there were constantly young talents from the Jiang tribe's five prefectures. They walked to the Coiling Dragon Pillar and reached out to grab the Inheritance Essence Blood.
On the Coiling Dragon Pillar, a rainbow colored light illuminated the sky. Inheritance Essence Blood was constantly being grabbed from within. Ordinary dragons, True Dragons, they were constantly being inherited by the young talents of the Jiang tribe.
The dragon's roar was incessant.
In the distant mountains, in the wilderness, tens of thousands of beasts could be seen galloping. On the day of the Divine Dragon's Inheritance, countless creatures came to worship.
Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning and Thunder. The Divine Dragons that controlled all sorts of powers constantly soared into the sky, shaking the world!
Soon, over a hundred people stepped forward and transformed into dragons. Most of them had inherited the legacy blood essence of mortal dragons, but there were also four or five people, including the first young man with bundled hair, who had grabbed the legacy blood essence of true dragons.
Without exception, the young geniuses that inherited the True Dragon's Blood Essence were all not even thirty years old. Their futures were limitless. Although they weren't as powerful as Jiang Zizai, they were still able to make a name for themselves in the Jiang Clan and become an overlord of a region.
Finally, there were only two people who had yet to go up.
Kang Shin-mu was the last to go up. In front of him was the cold girl from the Northern Prefecture, Jiang Liuxue.
In the previous period of time, Jiang Liuxue had been resting with her eyes closed. She was not disturbed in the slightest by the dragon's roar. But now, when it was her turn, she opened her cold eyes, glanced at Kang Shin-mu, then turned around and walked towards the Coiling Dragon Pillar in the middle of the field.
Under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, the surrounding people held their breaths and stared.
Jiang Liuxue had stepped into the Ascending Dragon Stage at the age of twenty. Other than Kang Shin-mu, she was a first-rate genius. Compared to Jiang Zizai, she was only slightly inferior.
Which rank one Divine Dragon's Inheritance Essence Blood would she be able to inherit?
True Dragons?
That was for sure. But whether or not she could inherit the Heavenly Dragon's Inheritance Essence Blood was not certain. So, all the Divine Dragons from the Northern Prefecture were extremely nervous.
The seven-colored light was dazzling. Jiang Liuxue's gaze was cold as she walked forward. She lightly raised her hand and extended it into the Coiling Dragon Pillar.
Countless Divine Dragon's Essence Blood revolved around it. A cluster of Azure Mystical Fire Divine Dragon's Essence Blood was attracted by her hand.
The next moment, an unprecedented loud and clear dragon's roar resounded from the field. It spread in all directions and shook the heavens and the earth. A Azure Mystical Fire Dragon's image flew out from the Coiling Dragon Pillar. It was a hundred feet long and surrounded by Azure Mystical Fire. It was like a Profound Dragon from the Ninth Heaven. Its aura instantly pressed down and enveloped the entire field!
Grade three Divine Dragon!
Without a doubt, this Azure Mystical Fire Dragon's body was a hundred feet long and it had such an aura and pressure. It was definitely a Grade three Divine Dragon, the Heavenly Dragon's Inheritance Essence Blood!
"Heavenly Dragon, Sky Mysterious Jade Fire Dragon."
Jiang Liuxue, who stood gracefully beside the Coiling Dragon Pillar, had a strange look in her eyes. It was indeed a Heavenly Dragon. She had obtained the Inheritance Essence Blood of a Grade three Divine Dragon. It did not disappoint her!
The Sky Mysterious Jade Fire Dragon's image circled over a hundred times above the Flame Dragon Altar. Outside the Grand Prince's Residence, thousands of beasts bowed down and thousands of birds paid homage. All of them displayed the divine might of the Sky Mysterious Jade Fire Dragon!
Immediately after, the image transformed into a drop of Inheritance Essence Blood. It was a Sky Mysterious Jade Fire Dragon, and it landed on Jiang Liuxue's delicate body.
The proud daughter of a generation, Jiang Liuxue, transformed into a Sky Mysterious Jade Fire Dragon!
The thirty thousand Divine Dragons in the Jiang Clan were all excited upon seeing this scene. The Jiang Clan had gained another inheritor of the Grade three Divine Dragon's Essence Blood. It meant that in a few years, the Jiang Clan's strength would greatly increase.
Perhaps, it would allow the Jiang Clan's territory to expand further. It was even possible that, like Jiang Zizai, with his outstanding military service, he would create a new era for the Jiang Clan.
Of course, this was more difficult. It required Jiang Liuxue to have a lot of luck, and finally reach the level of Jiang Zizai. After all, Jiang Zizai's strength was second to none among the Heavenly Dragons that had inherited the Grade three Divine Dragon's Essence Blood.
Countless people cheered.
Countless people applauded.
They were excited, expectant, envious. They looked at the proud daughter of heaven, Jiang Liuxue, who had transformed into a Sky Mysterious Jade Fire Dragon. Everyone knew that the future of the Jiang Clan's history would be heavily marked by Jiang Liuxue.
Of course, at this moment, Kang Shin-mu was not ignored by the people.
After Jiang Liuxue obtained the Grade three Divine Dragon's Essence Blood, everyone's eyes once again turned to Kang Shin-mu. It must be known that Kang Shin-mu was only fifteen years old, and he was even more talented than Jiang Zizai!
Could it be that Kang Shin-mu could obtain a Grade four Divine Dragon's Essence Blood that was even more powerful than the Heavenly Dragon's?
Everyone's eyes were filled with complex emotions. Almost everyone present did not wish for Kang Shin-mu to rise, because it would hinder their interests.
But everyone knew that with Kang Shin-mu's talent, and the fact that he was Jiang Zizai's son, even if he could not obtain the Grade four Divine Dragon's Essence Blood, he would most likely obtain the Grade three Heavenly Dragon's Essence Blood.
They were looking forward to it in their hearts. If Jiang Shenwu turned into an ordinary dragon in the end, how happy would that be?
They did not wish to see Kang Shin-mu's rise, so the eyes of most of the people present were flickering.
However, Kang Shin-mu did not care about that.
He gradually walked towards the Coiling Dragon Pillar. He had already mentally prepared himself for this moment, so there was no need to delay.
He grabbed the pillar that was emitting a seven-colored light. In that instant, he seemed to see his father from many years ago.
His eyes widened!
What appeared before him was a tall and imposing figure that resembled him. That figure was Jiang Zizai from many years ago. His eyes were clear, free, unrestrained, and spirited!
This was a scene that only he could see.
However, in the next moment, a black figure descended from the sky, carrying with it an unparalleled oppressive aura. It was a terrifying black dragon that blotted out the sky. It opened its mouth and swallowed Jiang Zizai whole.
"Father!"
Kang Shin-mu's eyes widened, and he could not help but roar out loud!
A black dragon, a powerful black dragon that Kang Shin-mu had never seen, heard, or even imagined, had descended from the sky and swallowed his father's body!
Was this an illusion?
Or was this real?
