Chapter 516: Transcendent Rank-5, Dragon Transformation!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Hum!
On Ji Ye’s body, a white light was glowing.
It was the Healing talent.
Besides the Fusion talent, Ji Ye also had the Healing talent, which was crazily repairing the wounds caused by the beating True Dragon’s Heart.
However, it wasn’t good enough!
The Healing talent, which was inherited from the Eagle Men’s Children of Providence, hadn’t been upgraded to the Transcendent level.
It meant that it couldn’t heal the damage caused by Transcendent powers.
Besides, the True Dragon’s Heart had the Legendary power in the Transcendent level!
Dum! Dum! Dum…
The True Dragon’s Heart rumbled much more frequently than before.
A tremendous amount of bright gold blood was dripping from the black Flood Dragon. Some scales were even knocked off by the beating heart. The internal organs that were close to his stomach had been crushed too.
If Ji Ye hadn’t kept himself in the fusion state, which had the ability to control all his body parts precisely and making these organs function as cells, he would’ve probably vomited blood and fallen to the ground!
However, while the other internal organs were still functioning, one organ, which was also the most important organ, couldn’t function after being broken. It was the heart!
Pew!
After another beating of the True Dragon’s Heart, the black Flood Dragon’s own heart couldn’t take it anymore.
It was suddenly destroyed by the enormous force and exploded into a pulp of meat in the long body.
Under such circumstances, even Ji Ye didn’t know what to do anymore.
His soul had been transformed into a Yin Soul a long time ago, and theoretically, he could survive with the Hundred Dragon Soul even if the dragon body was destroyed.
However, once he lost the Transcendent Rank-4 body, he would definitely be vulnerable to the Colorful Dragon, which was quickly consolidating without the interferences of the True Dragon’s Heritage anymore.
“Do I really have to do this now?”
An idea flashed in Ji Ye’s head.
Even though his blood had been squished, he was still trying to maintain the Fusion and the Healing talents.
It was because most creatures wouldn’t die immediately after their hearts were damaged. Also, thanks to the support of the Healing talent, he could live another ten seconds.
Ten seconds was too short.
“No! I cannot give up until the last moment.”
After feeling desperate for one moment, Ji Ye became determined again.
He remembered the belief of never giving up that he had when he first came to the Land of Inheritance and did not know that players wouldn’t really die on the Land of Inheritance.
Again and again, he survived the predators that preyed on human beings and passed the brutal beta test!
He would not give up and embrace death until the last moment!
The white light that represented Healing glowed crazily from Ji Ye.
At the same time, the orange light that was fusing the True Dragon’s Heart didn’t stop.
Although he only had ten seconds left, thanks to the boost of the Healing talent, he thought as much as he could’ve had in ten hours under normal circumstances.
During the “ten hours”, Ji Ye’s brain ran crazily and analyzed every broken piece, every nerve, and every cell in his body, trying their best to expel the rampant True Dragon’s power with the Healing talent!
Ten seconds, nine seconds, eight seconds…
When the countdown of his life came to only two seconds…
The white light on Ji Ye that represented the Healing talent suddenly turned silver.
Hum!
In the brilliant silver light, the black Flood Dragon’s body, which had been bleeding and lost most of its scales, seemed to be recovering, and its bleeding wounds were closing.
At the moment of life and death, Ji Ye’s understanding of the Healing talent reached a new level, and the fused talent finally reached the Transcendent level!
However, the advancement of the Healing talent didn’t mean the end of the crisis.
Dum! Dum! Dum…
Unlike his external wounds, the True Dragon’s Heart was still beating continuously inside the black Flood Dragon.
Even though the silver light that represented Healing reshaped the broken heart again and again, the new heart kept getting destroyed by the invisible power from the heartbeat.
Fortunately, after he analyzed the True Dragon’s Heart with the Fusion talent, Ji Ye was gradually adapted to the power, and it caused less and less destruction when it beat.
He even connected the True Dragon’s Heart to the black Flood Dragon’s heart with the Fusion talent and replaced the veins and nerves, thereby reestablishing a more powerful heart.
Although the black Flood Dragon was broken again and again because of the beating heart, the body got stronger than before every time it was recovered.
After the True Dragon’s Heart was connected to the black Flood Dragon, a lot of the Legendary True Dragon’s blood was transmitted into the black Flood Dragon in every heartbeat.
As it was destroyed and repaired again and again, the black Flood Dragon became more and more powerful.
It rose from Transcendent Rank-4 to the peak very quickly. Once it broke into Transcendent Rank-5, it would be able to fight the Colorful Dragon with the boost of the True Dragon’s Heart!
However, exactly at this moment, another unexpected situation happened.
Hum!
Halfway through the fusion of the True Dragon’s Heart, the orange and silver light on Ji Ye that represented talent skills suddenly became dim.
Then, the fusion stopped.
It was because the power of providence that belonged to himself had run out!
The True Dragon’s Heart was of Legendary quality. It required a surprising amount of power of providence to fuse it.
Furthermore, Ji Ye was also using the Healing talent.
Even though Ji Ye had made great contributions to Dragon City, he did not have enough power of providence to continue.
As a matter of fact, the Dragon of Providence that was protecting the non-combatants in the altar of Dragon City was already a lot dimmer.
A lot of the soldiers of Dragon City had died in the battle.
Many heroes all used their talent skills in the battle, which consumed the settlement core’s power of providence too.
As a result, the fusion came to an abrupt end when it was about to be completed!
“Are we still going to fail?”
On a city wall at a corner of Dragon City.
Wu Qiao, who hadn’t reached the Transcendent at this moment, looked at Ji Ye whose body was bleeding again after losing the light of the talent skills.
She wore a complicated expression.
As a beta tester who was the first to be reborn in Dragon City, she didn’t feverishly worship Ji Ye as most of the players did.
However, she also knew very well that Dragon City had walked to this day mostly because of Ji Ye’s own contribution!
Without Ji Ye, Dragon City could hardly be called the best settlement from Earth even though it had a lot of top heroes.
Was there still an opportunity?
Splash!
In the sky, the space around Ji Ye suddenly rippled, and a golden light was emanated. Very soon, a Dragon of Providence that was ten meters long flew out.
“This is… the one that was sent to defend the Dream City!”
In the City Master’s Residence, Su Nongying, who was holding a dagger and ready for battle, thought of something.
Dragon City had two Dragons of Providence. One of them was sent to defend the Dream City. Because the mermaids and mermen were incapable of attacking dreams, it had kept most of its power of providence and looked more condensed than the one at the center of Dragon City.
“Phew!”
After it flew out next to Ji Ye, this Dragon of Providence seemed excited. It suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a mass of power of providence towards Ji Ye.
The orange light and the silver light were shining again.
The bright yellow power of providence entered the black Flood Dragon, and the cracking and bleeding scales, like a land in drought embracing a rain, quickly absorbed it and powered the Healing and Fusion talents with it, continuously fixing the broken veins, nerves, and bones on Ji Ye…
“The settlement core is directly providing the power of providence for an individual! Is it the special privilege of a settlement leader?”
Some beta testers who were reborn from other settlements were shocked.
After a settlement advanced into the Transcendent, the power of providence that every member was entitled to depended on their contributions. However, what happened to Ji Ye was clearly an exception.
What was the reason?
Dum! Dum! Dum…
In the sky, when the light of the talents was restored, the black Flood Dragon let out rumbling heartbeats again.
Every time the fused True Dragon’s Heart beat, a lot of True Dragon’s Blood was transmitted into Ji Ye’s body.
His previously long and narrow Flood Dragon body became larger and rounder. The black scales on his body gradually turned gold too. In the end, the Flood Dragon, which had pointy, intimidating scales, became stronger. It did not look as aggressive as before. However, it looked sacred as if it were no longer an ordinary beast.
More importantly, at the end of its four claws that were different from normal Flood Dragons, it developed another claw and had five claws in total. Their colors turned golden too!
“Is this the Flood Dragon’s evolution?”
“He has evolved into the noblest ‘Five-Clawed Golden Dragon’ in the traditional culture!”
Everyone in Dragon City raised their head and looked up with excitement and fear, mainly because the golden or yellow dragon was more vivid and carried more special significance than the black dragon did in ancient myths.
Hum!
When the power of the True Dragon’s Heart, the True Dragon’s Heart, and the jade seal were completely combined, some sort of chain reaction seemed to be initiated. Ji Ye’s aura surpassed the threshold easily, and he reached Transcendent Rank-5 exactly like the Colorful Dragon did!
