When Kang Shin-mu returned to the dragon remains ruins, his expression was grave.
That was because, although he had caught up and killed two of the Dragon Warriors, he had let the last one escape. That guy was a Gale Divine Dragon, and his speed was extremely fast. With the support of his Inherent Skill, he had actually taken advantage of the time when Jiang Shenwu was killing the other two Dragon Warriors to escape.
Needless to say, that fellow would definitely bring in all the Dragon Martial Artists that were searching in the Dragon Bone Valley.
"In that case …"
Kang Shin-mu began to ram against the tunnel leading to the outside world in the form of a black dragon.
If it was a Dragon Martial Artist with flames, lightning, or other talents, it would be easy to seal the tunnel. However, to Kang Shin-mu, he could only ram against it with the body of a Mystical Dragon.
And now, he no longer had the Monster Cores of the demonic beasts on him.
After coming to the Dragon Bone Valley, he did not have many opportunities to hunt demonic beasts. He had been fighting other Dragon Martial Artists until now.
When the purple magical crystals on him were basically shattered, the tunnel finally shook and collapsed. Huge rocks fell from above, burying more than half of the dragon remains ruins.
The tunnel leading to the dragon remains ruins was completely blocked. This way, even if the Dragon Martial Artists outside wanted to find Kang Shin-mu, they would have to blast the entire mountain wall open.
This was not an easy task. After all, the entire mountain was extremely majestic. Even if hundreds of Dragon Martial Artists worked together, they would need a long time to blast it open. It would be impossible without at least a month.
Kang Shin-mu believed that the attraction of the Dragon Qi Crystals would be enough to attract those fellows to blast the mountain.
Otherwise, it would be troublesome for him to leave this place … No matter what, this was the only way for Kang Shin-mu now. Otherwise, when the Dragon Martial Artists came in, Kang Shin-mu would have no other way out and would definitely die.
As for Kang Shin-mu, he could at least devour the Mystical Dragon skeletons in the dragon remains ruins to see how much he could grow.
"There are many Holy Dragon corpses in this Dragon Remains Relic. Perhaps I can devour them and transform into a Dragon Martialist that inherited the Heavenly Dragon's blood essence."
Kang Shin-mu's eyes lit up as he scanned the entire dragon skeleton ruins.
If they were Divine Dragon skeletons of Mortal Dragons or True Dragons, they would have long been eroded by the wind. Moreover, during the War of Divine Dragons in the past, it seemed that Dragon Martial Artists of Mortal Dragons and True Dragons did not have the qualifications to participate in the war. In the entire Dragon Skeleton Ruins, there were at least tens of thousands of Divine Dragon skeletons.
Among them, there were hundreds of Holy Dragon skeletons, but the exact number was uncountable. Many of the skeletons were incomplete, but they were still preserved to this day.
"Devouring the Dragon Qi Crystal has brought me one-third closer to the Heavenly Dragon level …"
"I wonder what would be the effect of devouring the remains of the Heavenly Dragons and the Sacred Dragons?"
Kang Shin-mu thought to himself. He reverted to his human form and walked through the cracks of the collapsed cave. Soon, he chose a Heavenly Dragon Level divine dragon's corpse. Then, he covered it with his devouring power and started devouring it.
The speed at which he devoured the divine dragon's corpse was very slow.
Even though Kang Shin-mu's devouring power had been greatly enhanced, it would still take him at least two hours to devour the corpse of a Heavenly Dragon inheritor. Moreover, this was after millions of years of erosion.
If it was the corpse of a recently deceased Sky Dragon inheritor, even if the other party had just inherited the Divine Dragon blood essence and was at the first layer of the Dragon Ascension Realm, it would not be easy for Jiang Shenwu to devour the other party's corpse.
"Not even a thousandth of an improvement …"
Kang Shin-mu soon discovered that devouring a Heavenly Dragon's corpse did not improve the grade of his Divine Dragon blood essence much. At this rate, he would need at least three months to devour two to three thousand Heavenly Dragon skeletons before he could step into the Heavenly Dragon level.
"What if I devour the Sacred Dragon's corpse?"
With a thought, Kang Shin-mu quickly tried it out.
Although the effect of devouring the Heavenly Dragon's corpse was not very good, it allowed him to calm his mind. After all, he was certain that the Divine Dragon's corpse in the dragon remains was enough for his Divine Dragon blood essence to transform.
Of course, the closer he was to the transformation, the weaker the devouring effect would be, and the more he would need. If he only relied on the Heavenly Dragon's corpse, he would not be able to improve it in three months.
Therefore, devouring the Sacred Dragon's corpse became very necessary.
In the incomparably dark and collapsed dragon remains, Kang Shin-mu devoured for a full twelve hours before he finally devoured a relatively complete Sacred Dragon's corpse.
He discovered that a Sacred Dragon's corpse could actually increase the grade of his Divine Dragon blood essence by about one percent!
"In this way, according to my current transformation speed, I will only need a month to transform into an Inherited Dragon Martial Artist with Heavenly Dragon blood essence!"
Kang Shin-mu quickly realized this point.
A month's time just so happened to be before the Clan Martial Competition began.
Moreover, if the Dragon Martial Artists outside were unwilling to give up on the Dragon Energy Crystals, they would also break in about a month later … If Kang Shin-mu transformed into a Dragon Martial Artist with Heavenly Dragon blood essence, he would not need to be afraid of those Dragon Martial Artists!
This was because the Dragon Martial Artists who came to the Dragon Bone Valley were basically at the True Dragon blood essence level.
Even in Dragon Prison City, Dragon Martial Artists with Heavenly Dragon blood essence were considered relatively strong existences. A place like the Dragon Bone Valley was the residence of relatively weak Demonic Beasts, so Heavenly Dragon Martial Artists rarely came.
Although the Dragon Qi Crystal was rare and precious to the inheritors of the Heavenly Dragon Blood Essence, it was impossible for the inheritors of the Heavenly Dragon Blood Essence to spend a month waiting outside.
Therefore, when the time came, Kang Shin-mu would definitely encounter those Dragon Martial Artists with True Dragon blood essence level!
"Then I'll devour them all!"
Kang Shin-mu's body emitted a black aura as his devouring power surged out continuously. He continuously chose the more complete Sacred Dragon's corpse and devoured it.
As for the Heavenly Dragon's corpse, he could not be bothered with it.
This was because the efficiency of devouring was too low.
Once Kang Shin-mu's Divine Dragon blood essence transformed to the Heavenly Dragon level, he would not need to devour the Heavenly Dragon's corpse, because it would be useless.
"Advancing to the Heavenly Dragon level is basically the peak in the vicinity of Dragon Prison City. If I want to continue advancing to the Sacred Dragon level, I'm afraid I'll only have a chance in the Divine Dragon Tomb of the Yan Dragon Emperor Dynasty. However, that place is not something I can go to now … At the very least, I have to advance from the Dragon Ascension Realm to the Divine Martial Realm, and then step into the Nirvana Tribulation Realm!"
Kang Shin-mu thought to himself.
He continued to devour the Sacred Dragon's corpse, absorbing the essence of the Divine Dragon blood essence into his own blood essence, causing his devouring power to continuously increase.
Apart from that, the black dragon that he had transformed into was also continuously growing.
