I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

The blood dragon's cold eyes locked onto Lin Che, and it let out a roar!

Immediately, the blood dragon swung its tail, carrying the force of collapsing mountains and splitting the earth, and charged fiercely towards Lin Che, who was standing by the pool!

"As expected... it's the body refinement strength of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!"

Lin Che's pupils shrank sharply. Facing the guardian of this final barrier, he showed no fear, but instead felt a surge of fighting spirit.

Before you could think, the blood dragon was already upon you! The terrifying impact, with just the wind pressure it generated, was enough to blow you away.

"drink!"

Lin Che let out a low roar, his feet rooted to the ground, his arms crossed in front of his chest, unleashing the physical power of his newly broken through and strengthened body to its peak!

"Boom—!"

The blood dragon's head slammed heavily into Lin Che's crossed arms!

An unimaginable force struck him, and Lin Che groaned as the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch. He was thrown backward, his arms throbbing with pain.

But he withstood the most intense first wave of impact!

Just as the Blood Dragon paused slightly, seemingly adjusting its stance for its next attack...

A fierce glint flashed in Lin Che's eyes. Using the force of the recoil, his body flipped backward as if it were weightless.

At the same time, spotting a tiny opening where the blood dragon's neck and back mane met, his left hand shot out like lightning!

"Gotcha!"

His five fingers dug deeply into the dragon mane, which was made of energy yet incredibly solid.

Lin Che exerted force from his waist and abdomen, using the momentum of the Blood Dragon's forward charge and his own tumbling power, and his whole body swung upwards like a nimble ape!

Roll over and straddle!

Before the blood dragon could react and angrily twist its body, Lin Che had already firmly mounted the back of this mid-Foundation Establishment blood dragon!

He gripped the dragon's mane tightly with both hands, crouching low and pressed against the dragon's spine!

"hold head high--!!!"

The blood dragon let out a furious roar.

The enormous body twisted, rolled, and rose wildly, trying to throw off the audacious human on its back!

Lin Che struggled to maintain his balance amidst the violent jolting and dizzying spin.

At the same time, he freed his right hand, clenched his fist, and with his elbow like a heavy hammer, he aimed at the back of the blood dragon's neck, gathered all his strength, and slammed it down hard!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A dull thud exploded on the dragon's back. The blood dragon's body trembled slightly, but it was not seriously injured. Instead, it rolled around even more violently.

"That's really tough!" Lin Che thought with a chill.

He had used all his strength, but this blood dragon not only simulated the body-refining strength of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

It even perfectly replicates the dragon race's incredibly powerful natural scale armor defense! Ordinary attacks can hardly penetrate its defenses!

Blood Dragon clearly had no intention of sitting idly by and waiting to be killed.

In a violent spiral roll, its thick and powerful dragon tail, like a nimble crimson whip, lashed out at Lin Che on its back at a tricky angle with a whistling sound!

"Bang!"

The blow landed squarely on Lin Che's side!

Lin Che let out a muffled groan, feeling as if he had been hit by a speeding mountain peak.

His internal organs seemed to shift instantly, his blood and qi surged violently, and he could no longer suppress the mouthful of blood, which spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The excruciating pain almost made him see black, and he even experienced a momentary lapse in consciousness.

But he gritted his teeth, blood seeping from his gums, his hands gripping the dragon's mane with bulging veins and his knuckles turning white from the excessive force, refusing to let go even in the face of death!

He was perfectly clear-headed.

Once he is thrown off, facing this flying blood dragon that surpasses him in both strength and speed, he will have no chance of winning and can only passively take the beating, or even perish here!

Enduring excruciating pain that felt like his body was about to fall apart, Lin Che steadied himself while his mind raced at an unprecedented pace, searching for a way to break the deadlock.

The various records and descriptions of the weaknesses of dragon-type monsters in the Beast Taming Inheritance flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck me!

"Since this blood dragon can even simulate dragon scale defense so realistically, does that mean that the dragon race's inherent weaknesses also exist?"

He recalled the inheritance chart, his sharp gaze sweeping across the lower side of the blood dragon's neck.

In the instant that the blood dragon once again raised its head and roared angrily, stretching its neck muscles, Lin Che risked reaching out with his left hand, quickly feeling among the hard and smooth dragon scales.

found it!

A dark red scale, about the size of a palm, growing in the opposite direction to the other scales!

It was icy to the touch, with sharp edges, and a stronger energy seemed to flow within it—it was the dragon's reverse scale!

Legend has it that those who defy the dragon's scales will be relentlessly hunted down by the dragon race!

But beneath the reverse scale lies the weakest point of the dragon's armor, the vital point that connects to its most vulnerable spot!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Che gripped the edge of the reverse scale with his right hand like an iron clamp.

All the remaining power in his body, along with the full physical strength of the early Foundation Establishment stage, erupted without reservation!

"Get out here!"

"Sizzle—!"

A teeth-grinding sound, like tearing silk mixed with the scraping of metal!

Lin Che actually managed to rip that dark red reverse scale off the blood dragon's neck!

A dense, pure blood essence, accompanied by a strange spirituality, gushed out from the wound!

"roar--!!!"

The blood dragon's body suddenly stiffened, and the surging aura around it also froze.

Those dragon eyes, made of blood and qi, widened to their limit in an instant, and the violent killing intent within them was replaced by unbelievable pain and extreme anger!

However, this pause lasted for less than a breath.

Then, an even more ferocious, chaotic, and reckless roar erupted from its throat!

The pain of having its scales ripped out completely unleashed its most primal ferocity!

The Blood Dragon descended into a state of complete berserk rage, abandoning all techniques and focusing solely on unleashing its purest power.

It began to rampage haphazardly within the trial chamber, ramming with its head, sweeping with its tail, and crushing with its body, causing the entire chamber to tremble violently!

Lin Che felt like a small boat in a storm, which could be torn apart at any moment.

He lowered his body tightly, his hands and legs locking the dragon's body like iron hoops, and he would never let go no matter how the raging blood dragon jolted and rammed!

At the same time, he seized the opportunity and struck the wound left after the Blood Dragon's reverse scale was removed with precision and force, one blow after another!

There was no longer the indestructible reverse scale protecting it, only the relatively fragile dragon skin and the surging blood energy.

Each attack caused the blood dragon's body to spasm, exacerbating the loss of blood from its wounds.

Attack! Keep attacking!

Lin Che forgot his injuries and his exhaustion; all he could see was the wound and the raging beast beneath him.

His fists were scraped and his elbows were scraped, but he seemed not to feel the pain, mechanically and persistently repeating the attacking motions.

Time seemed to stretch out, yet also seemed to vanish in an instant.

After countless bombardments, the blood dragon's ferocious charging force finally began to weaken, its movements became sluggish and stiff, and the blood-red light around its body dimmed.

Finally, it let out a weak and unwilling groan, its massive body losing all its strength, and crashed heavily onto the ground beside the blood pool with a muffled thud.

Immediately afterwards, the dense blood energy that made up its body began to dissipate and rise uncontrollably, turning into a misty blood fog that permeated the secret room.

The terrifying dragon's might slowly dissipated.

"Cough cough...Finally...dead..."

Lin Che tumbled off the dragon's back and landed on the edge of the blood pool, leaning against the cold pool wall, panting heavily.

Each breath aggravated the injuries within the body, bringing waves of sharp pain.

He was covered in blood, his clothes were tattered, and he had multiple fractures and internal injuries. He was in a terrible state.

But those eyes were frighteningly bright, filled with the relief of surviving a disaster and the joy of victory.

He had no time to waste.

He immediately struggled to sit cross-legged, activated his Nine-Refined Golden Body, and at the same time absorbed the pure blood energy in the air that had not yet completely dissipated, which was formed from the collapse of the blood dragon.

This blood energy contains powerful vitality and tempering power, far more refined and vast than the blood energy of the previous blood beasts.

They flowed into Lin Che's body like warm, sweet spring water.

Wherever it passes, damaged meridians are quickly nourished and repaired, displaced organs are gently returned to their original positions and soothed, and a tingling or itchy sensation is felt at the broken bones.

More importantly, the body-tempering essence contained in this blood and qi begins to cleanse and strengthen his muscles, fascia, bones, and even bone marrow at a deeper level!

A burning, powerful sensation rose from the depths of my limbs and bones.

A moment later, Lin Che suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp, almost tangible light!

"Buzz—!"

An even stronger physical pressure than before swept outwards from him like an invisible storm!

The air inside the sealed room vibrated!

Mid-stage Foundation Establishment!

After experiencing this life-or-death battle and being infused with the essence of the Blood Dragon, his physical strength naturally and decisively broke through!

"Great stuff! Really great stuff!"

Feeling the surging new life force within him and his rapidly healing injuries, Lin Che couldn't help but sigh with admiration.

The blood energy transformed from the blood dragon is of an extremely high grade. Not only is its healing effect amazing, but it is also a rare treasure that can directly promote the cultivation of body refinement, saving ordinary people from years of hard work.

The rewards for this trial are indeed more generous than I ever imagined!

He slowly got up, stretched his limbs, and a series of dense, pleasant popping sounds rang out.

Although he was not in peak condition, his combat power was even greater than before due to the breakthrough in his cultivation level.

Only then did he turn his gaze to the center of the blood pool.

There, a small jade platform rose up, on which floated a blood-red, crystal-clear jade slip.

That is the final reward after passing this trial.

The protective light barrier that had enveloped the blood pool had long since vanished silently with the collapse of the blood dragon.

However, Lin Che remained extremely cautious and did not rashly step into the blood pool.

He first used his divine sense to carefully scan the pool and the jade platform to confirm that there were no hidden traps, and at the same time, he communicated with the system in his mind to conduct a deeper investigation.

This investigation actually yielded an unexpected discovery!

Three drops of blood, as red as gemstones and with the faint image of tiny dragons swimming inside, were quietly hidden deep within the blood pool, being nurtured by it.

"Nascent Soul stage dragon blood!" A startling light burst forth in Lin Che's eyes.

This is absolutely a rare and precious treasure!

For the Lin family, who possess the Cangming Jiao and may even subdue other dragon-type bloodline spirit beasts in the future, its value is immeasurable!

This is the key that can trigger a leap in the essence of a spirit beast's bloodline!

He immediately took out three top-grade cold jade boxes that he had prepared beforehand, and carefully guided them with his spiritual power.

He sealed the three drops of Crimson Blood Dragon essence, which contained terrifying energy, separately, affixed several spirit-sealing talismans, and then carefully put them away.

After dealing with this unexpected joy, Lin Che then traversed the air and arrived at the jade platform in the center of the blood pool.

He reached out and grasped the blood-red jade slip in his hand.

Divine sense probed in.

Blood Pact Spirit Forging Secret Chapter.

Six ancient and majestic symbols, carrying a sense of vastness and antiquity, imprinted themselves into Lin Che's consciousness.

After a cursory glance, Lin Che was shocked.

This is a special body-refining secret technique of the highest-grade Earth rank!

Its core essence lies in using a special blood pact as a bridge to draw upon the essence of spirit beasts, and even a portion of their original spirituality, and fuse it into the cultivator's physical body.

Thus, one can acquire some of the characteristics and talents of the spirit beast, and even the mysterious methods to strengthen one's own blood and physique.

At the highest level of cultivation, one can even simulate and unleash some of the innate supernatural abilities of the contracted spirit beast!

It can be described as a miraculous skill that perfectly combines beast taming and body tempering.

Lin Che also noticed a line of additional information left at the end of the jade slip.

This technique did not originate from the Tiangang Sword Sect itself, but rather from one of the core inheritances of its ancient mortal enemy, the "Blood Fiend Hall".

Although the "Blood Pact Spirit Forging Secret Chapter" uses blood as a catalyst, its essence is to temper oneself with the power of spirit beasts. It is not an absolutely evil, self-serving demonic technique.

Moreover, it is of extremely high quality and has great value for reference and cultivation.

Therefore, after being captured by the seniors of the Tiangang Sword Sect, it was left in this trial ground, waiting for a destined successor to obtain it.

"A high-grade Earth-rank body-refining secret technique!" Lin Che felt a surge of intense joy.

He had been searching for a long time but had not found a suitable body-refining technique. He never expected to find one here!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Che activated the communication system.

"System, use the upgrade ability on 'Blood Pact Spirit Forging Secret Chapter'!"

"Command confirmed. Begin the fundamental upgrade of the target 'Blood Pact Spirit Forging Secret Chapter'..."

A familiar, soft golden light emerged from Lin Che's palm, quickly enveloping the entire blood-red jade slip.

The jade slip trembled slightly in the golden light, and the blood-red color on its surface flowed faster.

The ancient information contained within began to undergo a fundamental transformation and sublimation, becoming more mysterious, profound, and grand.

A moment later, the golden light faded.

Lin Che immediately immersed his consciousness back into the jade slip.

The first thing that catches the eye is the newly revamped name of the martial arts technique.

The Five Saints Blood Pact Spirit Forging Secret Chapter!

Superior Grade Heavenly Rank!
