Chapter 529 Disaster Relief Banner: Dragon Clan Bloodline and Ascension to the Realm of Reason
The red dragon, pinned to the lava, tried to break free from Wu Chang's grasp, but Wu Chang's hand was as firmly embedded in the dragon's horns, and no matter how it twisted and turned, it could not break free.

The two sides struggled against each other, but the massive creature was at a disadvantage and was completely suppressed by the tiny human in front of it.

Unable to win by force, it tries to make up for its disadvantage by using its physique.

The red dragon raised its neck, trying to lift Wu Chang into the air, but Wu Chang seemed rooted to the spot. The red dragon used all its strength but still could not lift Wu Chang's feet off the ground.

Since the white dragon disappeared, it has fought against countless humans over the long years. This is the first time it has been physically suppressed by humans.

Wu Chang grabbed its dragon horns and pulled it out of the lava, pressing its head against the cave floor, leaving its mind blank.

If it's a difference in skill, it can try to make up for it based on its fighting instincts, but the difference in absolute strength leaves it unable to think of a solution for the time being.

If it can't find an advantage in direct combat, then it can only rely on its strong physique.

As a dragon, its skin is exceptionally tough, capable of withstanding most physical impacts and impervious to ordinary weapons. Only a holy sword can pierce its scales and pose a threat to it.

As a magical creature, it also possesses strong immunity to most elemental damage. When facing ordinary human challengers, if it weren't for the need to stretch its muscles and enjoy the thrill of battle, it would be impossible for those humans to break through its defenses even if it lay still.

Its ability to withstand blows is its last resort.

The red dragon's pupils narrowed to the center, forming a cross-eyed appearance, as it carefully observed the human in front of it, preparing to retaliate when the human was tired of fighting.

But as soon as it focused and saw Wu Chang clearly, it discovered that Wu Chang had raised his right elbow.

Its instincts told it that the human in front of it was dangerous and that it was best to get away immediately, but its dragon horns were held down firmly and it was unable to break free.

With such a small elbow, it probably wouldn't hurt if it hit you.

"Man!"

Wu Chang swung his elbow, slamming it hard onto the top of the red dragon's head. The Mamba Iron Elbow not only left a Mamba mark on the spot where it hit, but also burst out with a flame-like red light, activating the new effect of the Mamba Iron Elbow being upgraded to A-level.

"Hitting the target will cause effects such as blindness, dizziness, bleeding, weakness, and poisoning. If the Inspiration attribute is higher than the target's, one of the abnormal effects will cause a critical hit."

"Your Inspiration attribute is higher than the target's, causing a critical hit due to the Weakness effect, and inflicting a special status on the target - Vulnerable."

Status Name: Vulnerable

"Status Description: Inflicts a deep weakened state on the opponent, reducing their defense by 15%-30%, with the reduction depending on the difference in the two players' Inspiration attributes."

"Your inspiration attribute far exceeds that of the target, reducing the opponent's defense by 30%."

This was the first time he had used the Mamba Elbow in actual combat since it was upgraded, and the effect was surprisingly good.

The vulnerability effect triggered by a critical hit can reduce the target's defense by up to 30%. Although defense is not reflected as a specific attribute on the character panel, it is one of the most important attributes in combat.

Reducing the target's defense doesn't just increase damage by 30%; it could be the difference between being effective and ineffective.

For example, when facing a target like a red dragon with 100% fire resistance, breaking 30% of that resistance can cause fire-type abilities that would otherwise be unable to harm the red dragon to deal some damage.

Due to its vulnerability, the bright red scales on the dragon's body have become dull, and the natural patterns on the scales have become blurred. The dragon is listless, and blood is gushing from its mouth and nose, clearly indicating that it is suffering from several other negative conditions.

Seeing this, Wu raised his elbow again and delivered an elbow strike.

"Man!"

"Man!"

"Man!"

Three more elbow strikes followed, leaving the Red Dragon covered in Mamba Marks and aggravating all the common abnormal statuses, but no abnormal status critical strike notification popped up again.

It seems that only one special status effect caused by a critical hit can exist at a time. Only after the vulnerability duration ends can the next abnormal status critical hit be triggered.

Unfortunately, if special states could be stacked, he could deliver four elbow strikes at lightning speed, stacking the Mamba Mark while adding four special states to the opponent. Who would be confused by his elbow strikes?

Although the special state was not triggered a second time, the red dragon was directly knocked unconscious by his elbow, its whole body went limp, and it sank into the lava without any struggle.

Seeing this, Wu could only drag the red dragon by its horns, pulling it out of the lava and into the open space of the cave.

Only after confirming that the red dragon had lost its ability to resist did Reventon, who had been watching from a distance, slowly approach.

His gaze first fell on Honglong, then on Wu Chang. He had a million questions in his mind, but his usual meticulous logic and precise language were useless at this moment.

Everything that had just happened seemed utterly unbelievable to him; the size difference between Sean and the Red Dragon was like that between a mouse and an elephant.

Anyone who sees a mouse carrying an elephant around like a windmill, grabbing its tusks and throwing it over its shoulder, knocking the elephant unconscious with a few punches, and dragging the elephant around like a toy would find it just as incomprehensible as he did.

He couldn't understand why he, who was so logical, would have such an absurd dream. The baptism in the Holy Land could only be completed through sleep. Was this also part of the baptism in the Holy Land?
He opened his mouth, rested his right hand on his forehead, paced around Wu Chang several times, finally gave up thinking, pointed at the red dragon with his right hand, and asked:

"Can you tell me what happened?"

Wu Chang shrugged and said:
"I'm in a hurry, I'll tell you when I have time. For now, please make way."

He pushed Reventon aside, gripped the King's Sword, and approached the red dragon. With the raven's guidance, he located the dragon's heart, activated the Musou stance, and swung the King's Sword into the red dragon's chest, cleaving it horizontally.

The Holy Sword was already capable of damaging the Red Dragon, and with the effects of Vulnerability and the Unthinkable Style, this effect was even more pronounced, slicing open the Red Dragon's chest with a smooth, silky touch, like filming a short video of slicing a whole pig.

The moment the red dragon was ripped open, its blood gushed out, soaking Wu Chang and Raventon.

Raventon was unable to react, while Wu Chang was able to react, but deliberately stood still.

"You have defeated the Holy Land Guardian and completed the hidden side quest: Bathing in Dragon Blood."

"Your life, strength, and energy attributes have each increased by 15 points. You have gained the talent: Dragon Bloodline."

Talent Name: Dragon Bloodline

"Talent Description: A portion of dragon blood will be mixed into all your bloodlines, granting you a permanent state: Dragon's Might. When Dragon's Might is activated, if the target's bloodline power level is lower than yours, they will be affected by Dragon's Might, developing fear towards you and having their Willpower attribute reduced by 15%."

Wu Chang never expected that casually killing the Red Dragon would actually complete a hidden side quest without any instructions.

A total attribute bonus of 45 points, plus a functional dragon bloodline, truly befits a hidden side quest.

Looking at the dragon bloodline talent, he felt a pang of emotion.

When he first obtained the Ocean Kin transformation, he was thinking about when he could transform the sea serpent into a dragon. Who knew that his Ocean Kin transformation would be upgraded all the way to the Seed of the Deep Sea Origin, and when he no longer needed to transform into a dragon, the dragon bloodline would come to him on its own.

Although it's not very useful, even a mosquito's leg is meat, and there's no reason not to take something that's given away for free.

He looked at Raventon and saw that after Raventon, who had obtained the power of the fire source, bathed in dragon blood, his skin was glowing a fiery red. His skin cracked and peeled off in the high temperature, revealing newborn, baby-like white skin.

It seems that Raventon also benefited from bathing in dragon blood.

Wu Chang continued his work, removing the red dragon's heart and the golden scales from its back.

Item Name: Heart of the Red Dragon

Item Type: Special

"Item Description: Those who possess the bloodline of the White Dragon will obtain the Heart of the Red Dragon, fulfilling the White Dragon's long-cherished wish and simultaneously gaining the bloodlines of two giant dragons, thus acquiring the divinity of the dragon race."

Judging from the item description, the bloodlines of the red dragon and the white dragon are fused together to create a complete divinity. No wonder the two giant dragons both want to defeat each other and be defeated by each other.

The requirement to possess the bloodline of a white dragon to use the Red Dragon Heart actually benefited Olivia. Sometimes it has to be said that bloodline does have a significant advantage; for others, it wouldn't be so easy to obtain divinity.

In mythology, the dragon is a treasure trove. He was thinking about whether to make the most of it and asked the guardian spirits to turn the red dragon's corpse into various props when he saw the red dragon, which had lost its heart and golden scales, turn into ashes and disappear.

After the red dragon dissipated, it left behind a golden dragon egg.

He picked up the dragon egg, and a prompt appeared before his eyes:
"You have obtained the core of the Holy Land Guardian. Place it in the Divine Kingdom to hatch a powerful Divine Kingdom Guardian."

He raised an eyebrow and immediately put away the dragon egg. During the battle, he was still feeling sorry for the red dragon, thinking that if the red dragon had full intelligence, he could tame it and have another cool pet. He never expected that he would obtain his own guardian of the divine kingdom.

He picked up the red dragon's heart and the golden scales, turned to look at Raventon, and said, "You've just obtained the power of the Fire Source, so stay here and stabilize your source. You don't need to follow me."

Raventon wanted to say something, but the moment he met Wu Chang's eyes, he felt an irresistible and powerful aura rushing towards him. He couldn't utter a word of resistance and could only obediently stay in the cave.

Wu Chang nodded. He then turned and left with Long Xin and Jin Lin.

Before bringing the two items to Manavia, he first went to the mountaintop to find He Yun, made a small incision in the dragon's heart, and allowed He Yun to also bathe in dragon blood. Only then did he go to the previously still waters to complete the quest.

The death of the Red Dragon shook the entire Holy Land. Although Manavi had some suspicions, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when she saw Wu Chang return with the Red Dragon Heart and the Golden Dragon Scales.

Wu Chang handed over the two items on the red dragon's body, as well as the King's Sword, to Manavie. The King's Sword had already completed its task of being burned by the dragon flames when it shattered the pillar of dragon flames. With just a little treatment, the sword's spirituality could be restored.

Manavie took the golden dragon scale and handed it to the other guardian spirits, asking them to forge it into the scabbard for the King's Sword.

She then gathered all the mist in the sacred land and poured it into Wu Chang's body. In order for Wu Chang to further comprehend the Northern Star Tribulation Scripture, she did not hesitate to condense all the mist in the entire sacred land around her.

It should be noted that even if she and six guardian spirits were bound together, they would still be no match for the red dragon.

The foreign knight in front of her could easily kill the red dragon, so he could easily kill them as well. If something unexpected happened and the other party thought she was deliberately causing trouble, not only could she not bear the consequences, but the entire city of Stellan could not bear them either.

Guided by Manavi, a large amount of holy land mist gathered above Wu Chang's head, condensing into raindrops that fell towards him.

Bathed in the rain, Wu Chang's understanding at this moment was far superior to when he had previously tried to comprehend things on his own.

He entered a meditative state again. This time, he not only comprehended the Ziwei Exorcising Array, but also extended the array on this basis, constructing the twelve earthly branches within his body.

In a daze, the star map he had collected from the twelve earthly branches appeared in his mind.

The star chart was located high in the sky, while the Ziwei Exorcising Array within his body was located on the ground. The two resonated with each other, and finally the star chart fell and merged with the Ziwei Exorcising Array.

The moment they merged, accompanied by a roar, a notification popped up in front of Wu Chang's eyes.

"The player has comprehended part of the true meaning of the Beichen Tribulation Scripture. He can spend 250,000 decayed silver coins to upgrade the technique to grade B. Do you want to upgrade?"

"promote!"

As Wu Chang made his choice, the amount of decaying silver coins on his attribute panel decreased rapidly.

The perfect rating of the world dungeon earned him 320,000 Decaying Silver Coins from the dungeon's rewards, which was a huge sum of money in his eyes at the time.

Since entering the Abyss game, he had never received such a generous reward in a single transaction. At the time, he thought that he would not have to worry about decaying silver coins for a long time.

But he didn't expect that the Beichen Tribulation Scripture was a money-eating monster. It cost him 350,000 decaying silver coins to upgrade from D to B.

After paying for the skill upgrade, he only had 20,000 decaying silver coins left in his account.

If the advancement of the Beichen Tribulation Scripture hadn't temporarily stalled, he would have tried to get some worthless silver coins from the four major organizations.

Similar to the previous two cultivation techniques, upgrading the Beichen Tribulation Scripture from C to B did not increase his attribute points, but instead added a white command flag to his mind.

He was very familiar with the appearance of the command flag; it was the "Disaster Relief Command Flag" that he once owned.

At this moment, the props have been transformed into cultivation abilities. The Soul Cleansing and Soul Nourishing skills in the Disaster Relief Banner remain unchanged. Only the Disaster Relief skill for suppressing the four calamities changes as one leaves the world instance.

"Item Skill: Averting Calamity"

"Skill Description: By waving the command flag, one can suppress the raging extraordinary energy around oneself, transforming it from disorder to order."

When fully activated to avert disaster, the extraordinary energy around the user is brought into absolute order, becoming unmanageable by anyone. Duration: (Inspiration Attribute/10) seconds, Cooldown: 48 hours.

In world dungeons, the "Disaster Relief Banner" is an A-grade item, and its natural ability to suppress spirits, evil spirits, and malevolent energy makes it surprisingly effective in battle.

The "Disaster Relief Banner" condensed from the Beichen Tribulation Scripture not only retains its original abilities, but also endows the disaster relief, which was originally only used for sacrificial purposes, with an extremely practical ability.

The full-scale activation of the calamity-averting technique, while supposedly bringing extraordinary energy into absolute order, is more accurately described as completely imprisoning it. Simply put, it creates a "magic-suppressing domain" around him, where no energy attack can take effect.

Although the duration of the magic-suppressing field is short, only 20 seconds, in battle, even a momentary misjudgment, let alone a second or two, is enough to reverse the outcome.

If the averting disaster effect is used properly, any entity with an energy attribute, whether it is a BOSS or a player, will be completely countered by him.

Wu Chang was very satisfied with his gains from upgrading the Beichen Tribulation Scripture to B level, but the next prompt made him less satisfied.

"Technique Name: Beichen Crossing Tribulation Scripture"

"Technique Level: B"

"Upgrading the cultivation technique to Grade A requires 500,000 Rotten Silver Coins."

"Hiss!" He gasped. Five hundred thousand rotten silver coins. He thought to himself that Beichen Crossing Tribulation Scripture really dared to ask for that much.

At first glance, he was startled by the number, but upon closer reflection, upgrading spatial magic from B to A required 200,000 decaying silver coins, and given the level of the Beichen Tribulation Scripture, it was indeed worth that price.

Despite its value, even for Wu Chang, collecting 500,000 decayed silver coins in a short period of time is no easy task. He can only hope that the dungeon in the Realm of Reason is generous enough to drop a sufficient number of silver coins for him.

After completing the baptism, Wu Chang opened his eyes again and found that the fog in the entire holy land had almost completely dissipated.

The dark and gloomy lake now has some of the mirror-like quality of the sacred site.

He looked at Manavi and saw that Manavi had fused the golden dragon scales with the scabbard of the King's Sword, turning the scabbard blue and gold. The King's Sword, now restored to its spirituality, was inserted into it, and its aura was no less than that of the Eternal Lake that Eileen possessed.

He took the King's Sword from Manavie and asked her:

What are your plans for the future?

The Holy Land of Stellan exists because of the Primordial Spirit Pivot. The red dragon and the white dragon came together to achieve divinity, and with the forging of the King's Sword, the Holy Land was brought to the brink of collapse.

If the Holy Land collapses, the guardian spirits that are one with the Holy Land will also disappear.

Manawi understood Wu Chang's meaning, and she said frankly:

"We have been able to survive for so long for two reasons: first, to fulfill the promise our ancestors made to the White Dragon; and second, to protect the Kingdom of Stellan and witness its rise."

“Olivia has obtained the Heart of the Red Dragon and the complete King’s Sword. With her abilities, Stellan will surely become great. With these two things accomplished, we should have died long ago. Now it’s just time to return to where we belong.”

The guardian spirits of Manavi are all demigods, with rich experience and various abilities. It would be such a waste for them to just disappear like this.

Wu Chang asked:

"If I told you that I could let you continue to exist, but you would have to live in a different place, what would you choose?"

Manawi was taken aback. Although they could face death with equanimity, who would want to die if they could live?

She wanted to ask Wu Chang if he could really do it, but remembering that he could easily kill even a red dragon, there was no reason for him to lie to them, so she asked instead:
Where do you want us to go?

Wu Chang took out the dragon egg and said with a smile:

"The Cathedral of Holy Light in Grimland, where there is a pillar of the divine kingdom, whose transformed faith power is sufficient to guarantee your existence."

"You can live like normal people in Grimland, just remember to take good care of this egg for me in your spare time."

Ten minutes later, due to the depletion of the Primordial Spirit Pivot, the sacred site of Stellan, which had been passed down for countless generations, shattered.

Olivia obtained the Red Dragon Heart and the King's Sword, successfully awakening her dragon bloodline and condensing divinity within her.

Wu Chang opened a door for her and Raventon, allowing He Yun's main body to lead them back to the Yongguang Research Institute, where they familiarized themselves with their respective powers under a hundredfold time flow.

Meanwhile, in Grimland's Eternal Light Cathedral, six more bishops appeared, whose unique aura could not be concealed even when they wore veils.

Wu Chang brought He Yun's mechanical clone back to Blue Star, allowing her to personally control the super factory in preparation for Shi Ning and Gao Xuezhong's visit.

After settling everything in the Steam Phantom dimension, Wu Chang opened the attribute panel and selected to officially upgrade into the Realm of Reason.
