The auction was over. Lu Li, Han Wuxin and the others went back to the Mystic Fire City at once. The Green Water City was safe, but what if Song He and the others decided to take risks?
Han Wuxin went to discuss with the Han Family Patriarch and Chief Patriarch as soon as he came back. Lu Li and the others went back to the castle.
"Yu Huashen, Ming Yu, protect me."
As soon as Lu Li came back, he decided to study the golden beast claw. If possible, he would try to consume it. This could not be delayed. The sooner, the better.
Yu Huashen was guarding in the hall of the castle and Ming Yu was with Lu Li.
Lu Li went into a room, closed the door and took out the golden beast claw from his Interspatial Ring.
The beast claw was huge. Each of the six claws was as thick as a man's forearm, strong and powerful. The nails were shiny and sharp, like six sharp blades.
If someone were to be scratched by the beast claw, they would be minced into pieces.
The beast's claw gave off a powerful beast's might. This was a beast's claw that had been cut off, and it had been there for who knew how long.
How horrifying would the beast be when it was alive?
It was unimaginable.
"Squeak, squeak ~"
Little White was alarmed. It flew out from Lu Li's sleeve. Seeing the beast claw, its eyes were filled with anxiety and fear. Little White retreated to a corner, not daring to get closer.
Lu Li looked at Little White and studied the beast claw for a while, not knowing what to do.
The Bloodline in his body was tumbling. The silver dragon mark on his back was glowing and moving around. His eyes were glowing in silver light as well.
After a while, Lu Li poured Xuan Energy into the beast claw, trying to see what would happen.
Lu Li was disappointed. He poured Xuan Energy into the beast claw for the time for two incense sticks to burn but nothing happened.
Lu Li frowned and observed for a while. Then he took out a dagger and cut at the beast claw. After some sparks, the dagger slid away. The beast claw didn't leave any mark.
"Young Master!"
Ming Yu said, "Powerful Xuan Beasts have horrifying physical bodies. There are three drops of Origin Blood Essence in this beast claw.
If it could be cut, the blood would have been taken away.
If one is not a powerful warrior and doesn't use a powerful Profound Meaning, one cannot break the beast claw. "
Lu Li nodded. Suddenly, he looked at Little White and asked, "Little White, can you bite it open?"
Little White shook its little head, not knowing if it couldn't bite open or if it didn't dare to.
Lu Li could only look away. It was all up to him now.
The blood in Lu Li's body was tumbling even more violently, as if it was about to burst out of his blood vessels. Lu Li had an idea and suddenly cut his finger with the dagger.
"Chi, chi ~"
A few drops of blood dripped onto the beast claw, causing it to suddenly emit white smoke. Next, the entire beast claw melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, sizzling with smoke.
At the same time, a powerful blood energy spread out from the beast's claw, causing Ming Yu's soul to tremble.
"Young Master, be careful!"
Ming Yu's expressions changed. He tried to grab the beast claw and throw it away but Lu Li shouted, "Don't move!"
At first, Lu Li wanted to throw the beast claw away as well. However, he realized that after the beast claw melted, strands of energy flowed into his right hand.
He could feel the Silver Dragon Bloodline behind him getting even more excited. Naturally, he could not let go of the beast claw. He glanced at the beast claw and shouted angrily at Ming Yu, "Later on, no matter what happens, do not touch me. If there are any changes to my body, use your power to suppress me.
Don't worry … I will be fine. This beast claw is very beneficial to me. "
With that said, Lu Li sat with his legs crossed and used his mind to sense the energy entering his arm.
The beast claw was melting faster and faster. Strands of golden energy entered Lu Li's right hand.
"Buzzing ~"
Three streaks of blood-red light came out from the beast claw. They were the three drops of Origin Blood Essence. They also rushed into Lu Li's right hand.
"Ah —"
Lu Li screamed in pain. Luckily, he was in a sealed room with the door closed.
Otherwise, his roar would have alerted the nearby castles. Seeing Ming Yu running towards him in fear, Lu Li endured the pain and shouted, "Suppress me, now!"
Ming Yu's eyes flickered. Eventually, he chose to obey Lu Li's will. He released his power to suppress Lu Li.
Yu Huashen rushed in from outside. Seeing Lu Li lying on the ground in pain, Yu Huashen shouted, "Young Master, what happened?"
The beast claw was still in Lu Li's hand. More than half of it had melted and the rest was still melting.
Lu Li's right hand had turned blood red as if it was on fire. His sleeves were torn apart and the veins on his arm were standing out. It was a hideous sight.
Ming Yu's Force weakened and Lu Li could move again. He looked at Yu Huashen with red eyes and said, "Who let you in?
Get out! "
Yu Huashen moved his head back, touched his nose and walked out.
Lu Li turned to Ming Yu who had to use his Force again.
"Ah —"
Lu Li couldn't stand it anymore. He let out another miserable scream. However, he couldn't make any louder because of the Force.
He was in great pain. It was indescribable. If it were not for the fact that Ming Yu was suppressing him with Force, he might have the urge to cut off his right hand.
When he was in the Tomb of Dragon King, he consumed one drop of Origin Blood Essence. At that time, he felt every piece of his muscles, bones and skin were on fire.
Now, there were three drops of Origin Blood Essence in his body and they were all concentrated in his right hand.
It was not hard to imagine how horrifying the pain was. His right hand felt like it was being bitten by 10,000 worms. Every piece of bone, every muscle, every inch of skin was in agony.
Lu Li had gone through three days and three nights of hellish torture at the Wicked Sorcery Mountain. Now, he could bear the pain.
He forced himself not to pass out because he had to be aware of the condition of his arm at all times. If the beast claw and the three drops of Origin Blood Essence were not beneficial to him, then he would have to cut off his arm by force.
The beast claw disappeared completely. It turned into a stream of golden air and surged into Lu Li's arm. What was strange was — the golden air stream and the three drops of Origin Blood Essence didn't enter his body. They stayed in his right hand.
He felt the flesh and blood on his right hand were burning but the rest of his body was fine.
Time moved on. Lu Li was so tortured that he couldn't even shout anymore. The pain had been going on for an hour and it was still not going away.
Ming Yu was watching with his heart pounding. Looking at the Young Master lying on the ground and screaming, Ming Yu admired Lu Li. If it were someone else, he or she would have passed out by now.
After the time for three incense sticks to burn, the burning and tearing pain in his arm subsided. Lu Li closed his eyes and breathed heavily, as if he was weak.
"Is it over?"
Underworld released his psychic power, trying to find out what was happening to Lu Li's arm.
The next second!
Ming Yu's pupils contracted because he noticed that Lu Li's arm was changing.
Scales appeared on Lu Li's skin. Each scale was similar to the one on the beast claw. The difference was that the scales on Lu Li's hand were silver while those on the beast claw were golden.
What was more surprising to Ming Yu was that Lu Li's arms were getting thicker and his fingers were longer. His nails were growing fast and they had hooks on them. Lu Li's nails had a metallic texture and a cold qi and energy, like sharp blades.
"How …"
