Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 226 Dragon Scale Pangolin

"Go ahead, overcome your fear!"

Li Minghan made a hand seal and whispered, his hand gestures constantly changing. A faint red light transformed into a rainbow, connecting with the red-scaled pangolin.

The red-scaled pangolin's body trembled, and a sliver of clarity returned to its previously murky eyes. It roared, struggled to its feet, and abruptly looked up at the floating ball of blood.

Invisible fluctuations, originating from the red-scaled pangolin, constantly clashed with the beastly aura emanating from the ball of light.

The blood-red orb trembled, and an even more powerful beastly aura surged forth, which felt like the collapse of the sky to the Crimson-Scaled Pangolin.

"Snapped!"

The red-scaled pangolin was once again pinned to the ground. Its thick limbs struggled violently, its scales stood on end, and it struggled to lift its head, slowly getting up again.

His beastly eyes were filled with resentment and madness, radiating a scarlet light.

The red-scaled pangolin is inherently quite intelligent. It has a spirit and is well aware of the opportunity before it, so it will fight desperately.

Opportunity often comes with crisis. Under the dual pressure of breakthrough and death, the Crimson Pangolin unleashed its greatest potential at this moment.

At the same time, the Divine Beast Pill that the Crimson-Scaled Pangolin had swallowed began to exert its power. Layers of light began to emanate from the Crimson-Scaled Pangolin's body, seemingly forming a protective ring that resisted the beast's might while also providing a boost, continuously supplying it with power.

"hold head high!!!"

A dragon's roar resounded through the void, as if stimulated. A flash of light appeared, and beneath the blood-red ball of light, a phantom emerged from nothing, carrying immense pressure. As it descended, it solidified, eventually forming a beastly shadow that shook heaven and earth.

This beastly figure was entirely crimson, with a body resembling a snake, covered in golden patterns. It had six claws, was covered in scales, and emitted astonishing heat from flames.

Its tail was like a fish, and its dragon horns meandered and coiled, seemingly possessing the power to reach the heavens. Its long whiskers flew wildly, and its pair of dragon eyes contained earth-shattering fluctuations. With just one glance at the Crimson-Scaled Pangolin, an oppressive force as large as a mountain pressed down on the Crimson-Scaled Pangolin.

It was indeed the Crimson Mountain Spirit Dragon!

"roar!!!"

The red-scaled pangolin roared, and Li Minghan's face turned pale. He lost his balance and his breathing became slightly disordered. The rainbow that had been connecting the red-scaled pangolin suddenly broke.

The effects of the Divine Beast Pill flowed throughout the Crimson Scale Pangolin's body. Originally, the Crimson Scale Pangolin was only at the seventh level of the first rank, but its aura suddenly surged, and in just a moment, it reached the peak of the first rank.

An even more astonishing aura erupted from the Crimson-Scaled Pangolin, flames spreading across its entire body, and layers of earth and stone light forming a protective barrier. The Crimson-Scaled Pangolin roared and rammed fiercely into the Crimson Mountain Spirit Dragon.

Enraged, the Crimson Mountain Spirit Dragon unleashed a terrifying burst of flames, and a ring of golden light emanated from its black and red claws as it slammed them down on the Crimson Scaled Pangolin.

The void shattered, air surged, flames and earth and stone light swirled, and the surrounding dense spiritual energy was stirred up.

"Aww!"

The red-scaled pangolin was in pain. The flames on its body surface dissipated under the blow, the earth and stone protection shattered, and a shocking bloodstain almost ran through its entire body, with blood flowing incessantly.

After the attack, the Crimson Mountain Spirit Dragon's shadow visibly dimmed, and its aura was not as strong as before.

"Red-scaled pangolin!"

Li Minghan pursed his lips, stared at the injured red-scaled pangolin, and a look of struggle and heartache flashed across his face.

But the Crimson-Scaled Pangolin shook its head, ignoring the pain all over its body, struggled to its feet, and charged at the Crimson Mountain Spirit Dragon Beast Shadow again, its scarlet eyes filled with even greater madness.

"So be it, it's just the resentment of a Crimson Mountain Spirit Dragon's bloodline. What can it possibly cause?"

Seeing this, Li Minghan exhaled, his voice low and deep. He gritted his teeth and suddenly slapped his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood that floated onto the surface of the red-scaled pangolin.

"With my life's blood... the Beast Contract is without calamity!"

A series of cyan and red rays of light drifted down from Li Minghan's body and landed on the red-scaled pangolin. The red-scaled pangolin, which was in a bad state, was instantly restored to its former vigor and strength.

Correspondingly, Li Minghan's face became even paler, his breath became weak, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and a mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, which he then swallowed back down.

As a beast tamer, and the young master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion, Li Minghan has some means to enhance spirit beasts in a short period of time. Even if the Crimson Scale Pangolin has not yet formed a contract with him, it doesn't matter.

However, Li Minghan would not use these methods in normal times, because he was unwilling to bear the consequences. At best, he would only be weak for a period of time; at worst, he might face the risk of falling from his cultivation level.

Seeing the red-scaled pangolin's persistence, Li Minghan decided to give up.

"Success or failure hinges on this, Red-scaled Pangolin, you'd better live up to my expectations!"

Li Minghan growled, licking the blood from the corner of his mouth as he ate pills. Meanwhile, the azure light around him intensified, completely enveloping the Crimson-Scaled Pangolin and himself.

The Crimson Scale Pangolin, which had already reached the peak of the first rank, was further amplified by this secret technique, and entered a state of excitement, continuing to charge towards the Crimson Mountain Spirit Dragon Beast Shadow time and time again.

As for Li Minghan, with each charge, his aura grew weaker and weaker, and he barely managed to stay afloat by swallowing pills.

"hold head high!!!"

Finally, after repeated attacks, the beastly shadow of the Crimson Mountain Spirit Dragon began to fade away. It let out a furious roar of resentment, but its strength was waning.

Excited, the red-scaled pangolin seized the opportunity, its blood-red maw suddenly opened, and it lunged to swallow the creature whole!

"Boom!"

The Crimson Mountain Spirit Dragon Beast's shadow shattered, and its bloodline was swallowed whole. A burning sensation quickly spread throughout the Crimson Scale Pangolin's entire body.

The dragon's roar was gone, and only the rolling figure of the red-scaled pangolin could be seen, its body quickly turning bright red, and its aura fluctuating.

"puff……"

Li Minghan coughed up blood, staggered back three steps, and supported his waist. His breath became extremely weak in an instant, and the secret technique was interrupted at that moment.

After hastily swallowing two more pills and recovering slightly, Li Minghan's face contorted with tension as he stared at the Crimson-Scaled Pangolin.

"At this point, we're halfway there. The rest depends on the fate of the red-scaled pangolin itself."

The Crimson-Scaled Pangolin's body had visibly grown larger, and the raging bloodline power of the Crimson Mountain Spirit Dragon was rampaging within it. Crimson phantoms covered all parts of the Crimson-Scaled Pangolin's body, and faint dragon might was faintly visible.

"hold head high!!"

The red-scaled pangolin rolled around, the burning sensation of flames engulfing its entire body, the tearing pain almost causing it to fall into a coma.

Li Minghan watched this scene with anxiety, yet he was powerless to do anything about it. He had done everything he could.

The effects of the Divine Beast Fusion Pill were fully manifested. Flames spread from the Crimson Scale Pangolin's body, and the Blood Shadow merged back into the Crimson Scale Pangolin's body. The blood churned as if about to evaporate, and the feeling of dragon might fluctuated.

Another half incense stick's time passed, and the red-scaled pangolin suddenly trembled. The flames on its body suddenly began to dissipate, and it teetered on the brink of collapse.

The once rock-solid armor shattered and disappeared, and the surging power in its blood became even more violent, as if the conflict had reached its extreme. Even the skin of the Crimson-Scaled Pangolin began to crack. The extreme pain caused the Crimson-Scaled Pangolin to fall into weakness in an instant.

The effects of the Divine Beast Elixir were working wildly, but it was still far from enough.

"Waaah..."

The red-scaled pangolin let out a weak cry, and within its body, the trace of the Crimson Mountain Spirit Dragon's bloodline surged wildly, about to burst out.

Li Minghan's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the red-scaled pangolin, his hands constantly trying to soothe it.

"Did we fail...?"

A bitter smile and a hint of heartache flashed across Li Minghan's lips; his heart was filled with sorrow.

"Waaaaah!!!"

In the critical moment, when even Li Minghan was about to give up, he saw the red-scaled pangolin suddenly flash with a white light, a gentle power emanating from its own bloodline.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Like a gentle spring breeze and the warm sunshine of early March, it carries a harmonious and powerful force, gradually seeping into every part of the body, neutralizing the bloodline power of the Crimson Mountain Spirit Dragon.

The originally violent aura was gradually soothed and softened by this gentle power. The flames that had been extinguished began to burn gently again, and the cracked skin slowly healed.

Li Minghan was stunned, staring blankly at the scene.

After a flash of white light, the trace of Crimson Mountain Spirit Dragon bloodline power was slowly digested and integrated into its limbs and bones. The previously unstable aura of the Crimson Scaled Pangolin rose once again.

In just a moment, the bottleneck of the first-tier spirit beast was broken through without any hindrance, and the aura of the second tier rose from the Crimson Scale Pangolin.

After advancing, the Crimson-Scaled Pangolin underwent a tremendous change in its appearance. Its body grew larger, and its pangolin-like head began to change, resembling both a cow and a sheep. Its beard grew wildly, and a bulge slowly rose on its forehead. Then, the bulge burst open, and a pair of dragon horns, winding and spiraling, soared into the sky.

Its slender body stretched even longer, and its crimson scales were now coated with a golden sheen.

The energy fluctuations of fire and earth elements were particularly noticeable. Its tail resembled both a snake and a fish. Overall, although it still had the shape of a pangolin, its spirit was surprisingly similar to that of the Crimson Mountain Spirit Dragon!

A vast dragon's might rose up, the air became scorching hot, and a faint dragon's roar echoed through the void.

Furthermore, his second-tier aura surged once more, and he continued to break through. Soon, with unstoppable momentum, he advanced to the first level of the second tier, the second level of the second tier, the third level of the second tier, and was even just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the fourth level of the second tier!

Only then was the power in the bloodline of the Crimson Mountain Spirit Dragon completely absorbed, and the original Crimson Scale Pangolin was completely renewed.

"Is this the power inherent in our bloodline?!"

Li Minghan remained silent, then his excitement became difficult to conceal, and his breathing became slightly rapid.

"It worked?!?"

The spirit beast before them was completely different from the Crimson Scale Pangolin. Instead, it was very similar to the Crimson Mountain Dragon's predecessor, the Crimson Mountain Sub-Dragon. Of course, there were still some differences, such as its tail, which had obvious pangolin characteristics...

Even so, it was enough to make Li Minghan overjoyed. This spirit beast's successful breakthrough to the second tier represented not only an improvement in cultivation, but also a complete fusion with the bloodline of the Crimson Mountain Spirit Dragon, which would lead to a leap in its growth potential!

The red-scaled pangolin weakly moved its claws, and immediately cracks appeared in the bricks on the ground, causing them to dent.

After advancing and becoming stronger, the Crimson Pangolin's power far exceeds its original strength, and it now possesses a portion of dragon power!

"Since that's the case, and it's pretty much the same anyway, let's just call you Dragon Scale Pangolin for now!"

Li Minghan chuckled, looking at the equally excited pangolin with dragon scales, filled with emotion, and exhaled a breath of stale air.

Then he fell into deep thought, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"But... why did it suddenly succeed...?"

Li Minghan remained silent. He knew very well that he had actually failed to advance and merge, even though he had made thorough preparations. However, the success rate of such things was inherently very small.

If it weren't for the strange power that emerged from the bloodline of the Crimson Pangolin at the last moment, this advancement would have failed.

"That power was gentle, yet chaotic... not pure; it seemed undisturbed, yet extremely domineering..."

"This power doesn't seem to be the power of the dragon race in my bloodline, but if it isn't, then what is it? I've never encountered such a strange sight before."

"Never mind, it's better to not understand than to not understand."

Li Minghan rubbed his temples, a sense of fatigue flashing through his mind, but overall he was still delighted. After a moment, he shook his head and put the question aside.

"The Pavilion of Strange Demons..."

"I'm so glad I have such a satisfying spirit beast; I can say I'm truly blessed by Changsheng."

Looking down at the dragon-scaled pangolin that had fallen into a deep sleep, Li Minghan's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He pondered for a moment, then put the dragon-scaled pangolin away.

The pangolin with dragon scales is currently in a very weak state, and he must hurry up and help it recover so that it will have a chance to make an appearance in this exchange.

This advancement can be considered a complete success, and Li Minghan is very satisfied with the result.

If Yu Changsheng were here, he would probably be secretly astonished. This ancient method of bloodline enhancement has an extremely high failure rate, unlike someone like himself who seems to have a cheat code...

However, this is enough to show that Li Minghan has an extraordinary background.

As for the power that surged from the bloodline of the Crimson Pangolin at the last moment, Yu Changsheng was very familiar with it. Wasn't that the system power that remained in the bloodline of the spirit beasts he enhanced each time...?

It can only be said that Li Minghan was lucky, given the circumstances.

[Consumed one unit of Crimson Mountain Spirit Dragon bloodline, successfully enhanced the Crimson Scale Pangolin bloodline strength! Gained 10000 Essence Points!]

Its growth potential has been greatly enhanced! Fire attribute abilities and earth attribute energy have been significantly increased!

"Huh?"

On the other side, Yu Changsheng was dumbfounded, blinking as he stared at the message that suddenly popped up, stunned.
