Douluo: Steal Tang San's luck and become stronger!

They were panting heavily, as if they had just escaped death. Chen Jing, Du Yang, and other experts were even paler. They could clearly feel that if Sect Master Tang Lan hadn't lured the black dragon away in time, Dongyang City would probably have been doomed.

For Tang Lan and Di Tian, ​​the distance of several dozen miles was covered in the blink of an eye.

On the vast, boundless, deep blue sea, Tang Lan stopped, and her chaotic domain slowly expanded, forming a relatively stable area.

He looked at Di Tian, ​​who had followed behind, and said in a deep voice.

"Brother Black Dragon, we're right here! Focus all your energy on dealing with the changes within your body; leave the external interference to me!"

Di Tian had no time to respond; the turmoil of its internal energy and blood had reached a critical point.

It let out a deafening roar, a mixture of pain and madness, and then its massive body suddenly sank!
boom!!!
Like a meteorite falling into the sea, Di Tian's enormous body, hundreds of meters long, crashed into the deep sea, stirring up terrifying waves thousands of meters high, as if a giant hole had been blasted open in the sea!
However, what happened next caused Tang Lan's pupils to shrink sharply while she was suspended in mid-air, and her face showed undisguised shock.

Where Di Tian entered the water, the color of the seawater within a radius of several miles was changing strangely at a speed visible to the naked eye! The original deep blue was quickly dyed into a shocking pale red!
Furthermore, this area of ​​light reddish seawater began to churn violently, producing countless huge bubbles. When the bubbles burst, they emitted scorching white steam!
The seawater... has been boiled?!

No, it's not just as simple as boiling! Tang Lan could clearly sense that the vast dragon blood energy within Di Tian's body, which had been fully activated but was temporarily out of control, was like the core of a runaway furnace, radiating unimaginable high temperatures and radiant energy!

This energy, through its scales and skin, uncontrollably dissipated into the surrounding seawater, reaching a terrifying temperature that could instantly vaporize seawater and "boil" large areas of the ocean!
This is not the most terrible.

As Di Tian writhed and struggled painfully in the depths of the sea, attempting to channel the raging energy within him, the aura and flames emanating from his body grew ever stronger, and the pale red, boiling sea area rapidly expanded—five miles, ten miles, twenty miles…

The boiling "gurgling" sound of the seawater blended together, like muffled thunder from the depths of the earth. Steam filled the sea surface, and white mist rose, enveloping this sea area like a legendary infernal sea of ​​fire!

"Burning mountains and boiling seas..."

Tang Lan stared at the horrifying scene below, and those four words involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

This is not an exaggeration, but a truly terrifying scene unfolding before our eyes! The sudden surge of Di Tianyilong's blood and qi has triggered such a large-scale natural anomaly, demonstrating the immense energy and vitality contained within his body—it's simply unbelievable!
What made Tang Lan even more worried was that Di Tian's condition was obviously extremely unstable.

Sometimes it painfully dives to the deepest parts of the seabed, thousands of meters below, trying to suppress the heat and turmoil within its body with the immense pressure and cold of the seawater; other times it bursts through the surface of the sea.

Carrying billowing white mist and boiling seawater, it soared into the sky at an altitude of ten thousand meters, tumbling and weaving among the clouds and thunder, emitting bursts of dragon roars that suppressed extreme pain.

The dragon's roar no longer possessed its former majesty and tranquility; it was filled with rage, pain, struggle, and even a hint of... a roar as if some ancient shackle deep within its bloodline was being forcibly broken, and its soul was being burned.

Each deep dive and high flight was accompanied by an even more intense eruption of qi, blood, light, and flames, and the area of ​​the boiling sea below expanded once again.

Tang Lan hovered high in the sky, and the Chaos Domain acted as an invisible barrier, firmly confining the destructive energy turbulence and high-temperature radiation capable of melting gold and iron caused by the rampage of the Emperor's Qi Blood below within a radius of dozens of miles of sea, preventing it from spreading further and harming the coastline and living beings further away.

His spiritual perception was elevated to its peak, like the most precise soul-guided scanner, tightly locking onto the enormous dragon shadow struggling painfully between the sea and sky, not letting go of any slight energy fluctuations or changes in life force.

Di Tian's condition made Tang Lan's brows furrow even more tightly.

The black dragon's aura, which should have been majestic, orderly, and profound, was now extremely chaotic and violent, like a boiling oil pot with a boulder thrown in.

What made Tang Lan's heart sink even more was that, through the deep perception of his demigod-level spiritual sense, he vaguely sensed that the seemingly invincible black dragon bloodline of Di Tian was not as pure and flawless as he had imagined.

"That's right... Although Brother Black Dragon is the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, and his bloodline is considered top-tier among contemporary soul beasts, it has ultimately been passed down and propagated over nearly a million years."

During this time, it may have experienced bloodline fusion, environmental changes, and even injury and depletion. While its bloodline essence may appear robust, deep within it lie many 'impurities' and 'weaknesses' that it itself is unaware of or unable to remove.

Tang Lan understood immediately.

"And the 'True Dragon Blood Essence' contained in this Dragon Blood Grass is of such high grade and so powerful! It is like an incomparably sharp and scorching forging hammer, which smashed into Brother Black Dragon's bloodline furnace, intending to forcibly temper, purify and sublimate it."

However, if the furnace blank itself is not uniform in its foundation and contains too many internal flaws, this overly violent and intense forging will not only fail to create a divine weapon, but may even directly smash the furnace blank to pieces or completely destroy it!

He realized that the seriousness of the problem far exceeded his expectations. Di Tian's previous act of directly consuming the Dragon Blood Grass was certainly related to his confidence, but it was also perhaps due to his insufficient understanding of the "mixed" nature of his own bloodline and the "extreme" power of the Dragon Blood Grass.

At this moment, the domineering True Dragon Blood Essence is rampaging through the depths of Di Tian's bloodline, forcibly "cleansing" and "burning" those impure and weak points. The pain and destructive power brought about by this process are devastating. If Di Tian's own will and foundation are insufficient to withstand the onslaught, and his bloodline is excessively damaged, not only will he fail to achieve sublimation and transformation, but it may also lead to damage to the very source of his bloodline, a regression in his cultivation, a shaken foundation, and an irreparable severe injury!
This was absolutely not Tang Lan's original intention in taking out the Dragon Blood Grass! His original intention was to help Di Tian and increase his chances of breaking through to demigod status, not to put him in such a dangerous situation, or even destroy one of his most important future allies!

"We can't wait any longer! We must intervene and give Brother Black Dragon a hand!"

Tang Lan's eyes narrowed, and she made a decision in an instant.

Even though the risks of external intervention in bloodline evolution are unknown and may trigger backlash or disrupt the process, it is still better than watching Di Tian's bloodline collapse and his vital energy be severely damaged!
The next moment, Tang Lan no longer held back. With a thought, an ancient, vast, and supreme aura, seemingly from the beginning of time, suddenly erupted from his body!
"The true form of the ancient dragon!"

boom!
There was no earth-shattering roar, but an absolute pressure descended that silenced all things and froze the laws of nature! Tang Lan's body surged with chaotic light, and his figure rapidly expanded and changed within the light!
His bones crackled like thunder at the dawn, his flesh and blood sprouted like the earth rising, and enormous dragon scales, inscribed with innate Dao patterns and flowing with chaotic hues, covered his entire body...

In the blink of an eye, the white-clad figure that had been hovering in the air had disappeared, replaced by...

It was a primordial ancient dragon, over a hundred feet long, shrouded in chaotic divine light, with prominent horns and every inch of its body exuding an ancient and majestic aura that surpassed all living beings, as if it were the source of all dragons!
This is not a simple energy phantom, but the almost real ancient ancestral dragon body manifested after Tang Lan's millionth-year soul skill "Wei·Ancient Dragon True Body" was fully activated!

In this form, Tang Lan's life form is temporarily infinitely close to that of a legendary pure-blooded ancient dragon, possessing terrifying power and...bloodline pressure at the corresponding level!
The moment the ancient dragon's true form appeared, the wind within a hundred miles stopped! The crashing waves that had been surging and roaring due to the Emperor's blood surge vanished eerily!

Even the lingering dark clouds and faint flashes of lightning in the sky seemed to be frozen and solidified by an invisible force! The entire world fell into an absolute stillness, as if in death.

Only the immense dragon might contained within that colossal ancient dragon's body, seemingly capable of crushing countless ages, silently permeated and expanded, reigning supreme over the world!

Di Tian, ​​who was struggling in pain, was also shocked by the sudden and terrifying pressure from the deepest part of his bloodline and soul. His huge dragon body stiffened abruptly, and his blood-gold eyes of pain involuntarily turned to the core of the chaotic light, his pupils suddenly shrinking to the size of pinpoints!
From that ancient dragon, it sensed a supreme aura originating from the "ancestor" and the "source," a aura that made its soul tremble, its bloodline quiver, and almost made it want to prostrate itself in worship!

Just then, Tang Lan, transformed into a chaotic ancient dragon, slowly raised its enormous dragon claw, which seemed capable of plucking stars and seizing the moon. Within the palm of the dragon claw, a point of dazzling golden light, seemingly condensing all the light and heat of the sun's core, began to slowly condense and compress.

That was neither soul power nor ordinary blood and qi, but a drop of ancient dragon essence blood that had been condensed from the true essence of the ancient dragon's body and contained the purest and oldest life imprints and fragments of laws of the dragon race!

Gathering this drop of essence blood was by no means an easy task, even for Tang Lan at this moment.

He could feel his own aura fluctuating slightly as his essence and blood condensed, revealing a barely perceptible weakness. But his eyes remained firm, without the slightest hesitation.

The essence of blood took shape, roughly the size of a fist, like a miniature chaotic sun, suspended between the ancient dragon's giant claws, slowly rotating, radiating terrifying energy fluctuations that distorted and rippled the surrounding space, and an indescribable allure.

At the same time, Tang Lan's grand and ancient dragon language directly pierced through the barriers of space, ignoring the violent roar of the blood and qi within Di Tian's body, and clearly resounded deep within Di Tian's mind, which was somewhat chaotic due to pain.

"Brother Black Dragon! Concentrate and calm your mind! I have now transformed into the true form of an ancient dragon, almost identical to the ancient ancestral dragon! As one of the origins of the dragon race, my primordial blood essence can harmonize the blood energy of all dragons, quell rampages, and neutralize alien forces!"
"The medicinal power of the dragon blood within you is too potent, clashing violently with your mixed bloodline. If this continues, it may damage your very foundation! Quickly draw this drop of my essence into your body; its inherent neutralizing power will help regulate your rampant blood and qi, protect the core of your bloodline, and guide the gentle release of the medicinal power to complete its tempering!"

Tang Lan's words were like a resounding bell, carrying an undeniable authority and urgency, attempting to awaken Di Tian's deepest reason.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Lan gently released the drop of golden ancient dragon blood with his massive ancient dragon claw. The drop of golden ancient dragon blood shot out like a golden meteor flying backward, trailing a long tail of light.

It slowly rose into the sky and finally hovered hundreds of feet above the massive dragon body of Emperor Tian, ​​like a guiding light, radiating unparalleled brilliance!
This light not only illuminated the dim sea and sky, but also seemed to carry a magical power that struck the soul and awakened the most primal instinct of greed!
"Roar--!!!"

"Ouch——!!!"

"hiss--!!!"

Almost at the very moment the ancient dragon's essence blood shone brightly, a sudden change occurred!

From the depths of the pale red sea below, which had been boiled and violently churning by the Emperor's blood and qi, and from the deeper, unaffected sea, countless roars and howls filled with madness, greed, and desire suddenly erupted! The sounds layered upon each other, growing louder as they approached, and in an instant they merged into one, like a boiling pot of oil!
Within a radius of tens or even hundreds of miles beneath the sea, countless dark figures broke through the waves and surged madly toward the location where the ancient dragon's essence blood was suspended!
There are deep-sea whales that are as big as small mountains and have bony spikes on their backs; there are giant octopus sea monsters that are covered with ferocious shells and have ferocious mouths; there are bloodthirsty sharks that are as fast as lightning and have a mouth full of sharp teeth.
There are also many strange sea spirit beasts with bizarre shapes and powerful soul energy... Among them are some powerful beings with cultivation levels of tens of thousands of years, or even close to one hundred thousand years!
They had originally either lay dormant due to the terrifying aura of the Emperor, or fled in fear due to the anomalies in the sea. But at this moment, the supreme allure emanating from the ancient dragon's essence blood, originating from the very source of life, completely overwhelmed their reason and fear!
Faced with that drop of essence blood, they had only one madly screaming thought deep in their souls—swallow it! As long as they swallowed it, they could be reborn, their bloodline would evolve, saving them tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years of arduous cultivation and accumulation, and they could ascend to heaven in one step!
Thousands upon thousands of sea monsters and soul beasts, like a hungry herd that has smelled an unparalleled delicacy, with red eyes, leaped out and flew from the seawater from all directions, either riding the waves or relying on their innate soul skills.

Transforming into countless multicolored, yet ferocious torrents, they surged overwhelmingly towards the drop of brilliant golden ancient dragon blood in the air! The scene was so chaotic and frenzied, it resembled an apocalyptic beast horde!
"How dare you!!!"

At this critical moment, a terrifying dragon roar filled with boundless rage, majesty, and savagery exploded like divine thunder from the heavens, resounding throughout the world!
It's the Black Dragon Emperor!
Despite the excruciating pain that felt like it was being torn apart, burning its soul and refining its blood, almost tearing its will apart, and despite the primal awe it felt deep within its bloodline caused by the pressure of the ancient dragon's true form, it was still overwhelmed when it saw that drop of ancient dragon essence blood, which meant "lifeline" and "breakthrough opportunity" to it.

When it was actually coveted and even attempted to steal from countless sea monsters that it regarded as ants and vermin, a boundless rage stemming from the dignity of the supreme ruler of soul beasts and the desire to protect its own opportunities, mixed with the violent blood energy ignited by the Dragon Blood Grass, erupted like a volcano!
