"The golden eye that just appeared is more like a defense mechanism triggered under certain conditions, and at most it can only cause some damage to the mental realm."
In fact, the pressure released by that golden eye was enough to make most low- to mid-level hybrids kneel on the ground or even faint.
Even a typical A-grade hybrid would have felt immense pain from the mental shock just now.
Unless one possesses spiritual power, perhaps they can be exempt.
However, given their bloodlines, this level of pressure only slightly surprised them, and they quickly overcame their discomfort.
Nan Yun Youyue was initially worried about Toyokawa Shoko's condition, but seeing that she was also safe and sound, she was relieved.
"strangeness……"
Shoko Toyokawa murmured.
The golden eyes she saw just now were like a projection to her; she didn't experience anything unusual.
"Could it be related to the family's bloodline?"
Toyokawa Shoko wondered to herself.
The golden eye didn't remain visible for long; in less than a minute, it vanished abruptly at the end of the passage.
The end of the passage returned to complete darkness, as if nothing had ever been there.
Uesugoshichichi:
"There shouldn't be any other means; this is just dragon bone remains and alchemy,"
"Now, we can go in."
Chapter 178 Dragon Bone, Panel, Plan to Subdue Orochi
pat-
To prevent the gate from becoming part of the bloodline advancement ritual, Uesugi Kotsushi no longer treated it in a destructive manner as before.
Simply place your palms lightly on the door and feel how far you are from opening it by the force transmitted between your palms.
Unexpectedly, the door was easier to open than expected. Just like after the golden eyes, the beings originally stored in the basement could no longer exert any defensive measures and could only watch helplessly as these intruders entered.
The three paused at the door for three or four seconds before going inside, after Nan Yun Yuyue said that 'Jielu' had not sensed any changes inside.
Is this all the defensive measures you have?
Nan Yun Yuyue was somewhat puzzled.
Although the pressure released by Golden Eyes was quite strong, if one's bloodline rank is not high, even if thousands of warriors are sent out, they will be suppressed by the mental impact just now.
However, the details of such rituals must be extremely precise, and the slightest disruption could lead to ultimate failure.
Therefore, such a small amount of defensive measures doesn't seem to match the level of the facilities inside.
Moreover, the intruders are probably not just those low-level hybrids. If they were high-level hybrids, the pressure released by Golden Eyes just now would obviously not be enough to deal with such a crisis.
"We need to be careful about what's going on inside."
Nan Yun Yu Yue remained on guard.
Uesugi Kotsuya became more serious about defense.
Shoko Toyokawa stood behind the two, still reeling from the shock she had just felt.
She stared intently at the door, her gaze fixed on the scene revealed as it was slowly pushed open.
Step—step—step
The three of them walked inside.
The scene in front of me suddenly changed.
The basement passageways were originally dark, and even within sight, the walls were mostly covered with gray spots caused by years of neglect.
However, the walls here are exceptionally white, as if they have just been painted, pure and without any impurities.
At the far end of the room stands a pure white pillar that runs through the entire floor, connecting the underground and the ground floor. Its design is somewhat similar to an indoor elevator, yet it exudes an indescribable aura.
In stark contrast to the pure white pillar, it was bound by clusters of black chains, as if imprisoning something.
"There must be some alchemical formations inside. Sure enough, there are other designs in this basement."
Nanon Ugetsu maintained his own Word Spirit throughout.
The realm of "discipline" already felt obstructed when approaching this area, and this feeling became even stronger upon entering it.
"The pressure from that golden eye hasn't subsided, and its location perfectly matches the shadow I detected. It seems this is the place."
Looking ahead, Nan Yunyuyue felt a sense of apprehension at the unprecedented arrangement.
The only beings capable of blocking 'commandments' besides 'Odin' are the remains of some unknown White King's descendant before us.
Combined with the alchemical array designed by the hybrids of the Eight Serpent Clan, it can actually exert a certain degree of mental attack power from before birth.
"Fortunately, His bloodline rank was definitely much lower than Odin's during His lifetime. It must be because of the characteristics of the White King's bloodline that this effect occurred."
Nan Yun Youyue speculated.
"They are descendants of that king..."
Uesugi looked around.
The layout here really has the feel of the White King.
The pure white environment design, the impact of spiritual elements, and the white pillar in front of you that doesn't look like a real load-bearing wall, but rather like some kind of 'coffin'.
The black chains wrapped around it must be a crucial part of alchemy, as they were the ones that suppressed the aura on the dragon bone within the basement, preventing it from leaking out.
call--
what--
Toyokawa Shoko seemed to hear someone saying something.
But the voice was hollow and ethereal, and she couldn't make out a single word.
She felt the calls growing stronger, and inexplicably, she sensed a hint of sorrow in them.
"It's because of my bloodline..."
"It's as if He's calling me back."
This thought suddenly popped into Toyokawa Shoko's mind.
She shook her head, calmed herself, and forced the thought out of her mind, refocusing her gaze on the white pillar.
Uesugi stepped forward.
"This kind of structure is really rare."
He looked at the black chains above and gently reached out his hand.
The black chains seemed to be stimulated, clanging and swinging suddenly, as if resisting Uesugi Kotsushi's touch.
"Oh?"
Uesugi Koshi lowered his arm and turned to look at Nagumo Ugetsu and Toyokawa Shoko.
"Xiangzi, should we open it?"
“This should be related to your family bloodline. It was probably made by a mixed-blood descendant of the Toyokawa family ancestors. I can sense the restrictions on it.”
As the former patriarch of the Snake Clan, he was well-informed and experienced. The rebound of the restriction just now not only did not harm him, but also allowed him to see many things.
"Open it."
Toyokawa Shoko did not hesitate; in fact, she even harbored a hint of gritted-teeth anticipation.
What exactly is the ritual that takes a mother's life?
She suffered for many years and waited for many years because of this... Now that she can finally see the true face of her family's secrets, her heart is undoubtedly surging with emotion.
Although with her current strength she certainly couldn't perform the bloodline advancement ritual, the bone-deep anticipation still made her nod without hesitation.
"be careful."
Nan Yun Yuyue reminded him.
"The restrictions on this seem to be related to the family's bloodline. Let me give it a try."
Toyokawa Shoko said.
She walked to the dark chains, stretched out her hands, gripped the intersection of the chains tightly, and then pulled hard!
Hua Hua Hua——
The resistance of the chains was less than 30% of that against Uesugi Echigo.
However, due to her own lack of strength, Toyokawa Shoko did not have a thorough grasp of the techniques for exerting force, so despite the violent shaking of the chains, they were still not untied.
"It seems that it is indeed because of bloodline that the direct bloodline of the Toyokawa family will encounter much less resistance than others when trying to break this chain."
Nanon Ugetsu noticed this detail.
He also stepped forward, wanting to see if the chains would rebound if Toyokawa Shoko exerted force while others added their own.
Hua Hua Hua——
"There isn't any!"
Nan Yun Yuyue was immediately surprised.
"So it turns out that as long as you have direct blood from the Toyokawa family, you can get it."
Prior to this, his participation in the band had increased to 190, which also led to a leap in his physical fitness.
At this moment, he used all his strength to help Toyokawa Shoko unlock the chains, and the sound of the chains suddenly became more intense, as if they were just a hair's breadth away from being unlocked.
Hua Hua Hua——
Uesugi reached out, channeling his inner strength along the chain, adding the last bit of force he needed to the chain.
pat!
Next second,
The chain broke with a sound.
A smooth cross-section was split open from the middle, and this cross-section seemed to possess an extremely strong suction force. It was precisely because the middle was glued so tightly that Toyokawa Shoko was initially unable to open it.
The contents stored inside were also revealed.
"This is……"
A storm raged in Toyokawa Shoko's heart.
Before me lay a dragon skeleton, slumbering in a 'coffin'.
The dragon bones are pure white, with the eye sockets in the middle completely black, and the vertebrae are stacked one on top of another, like frozen jade rings strung together.
The edges of each keel were ground very smooth, without a trace of flesh or blood.
The dragon bone was surrounded by a dense array of alchemical instruments, each with intricate patterns. The two intertwined, yet surprisingly harmonious.
From the outside, a dragon's body is not very large, only about six or seven meters tall, just enough to reach the top of the basement.
But at this moment, the door of the 'coffin' had been opened, and the last barrier that suppressed His aura had been removed. As a result, the pressure from the dragon race instantly spread out.
wow——
Toyokawa Shoko, who was closest to Him, was the first to feel the impact.
She unconsciously took several steps back, barely managing to withstand the force of the attack.
"So it was... Him..."
Toyokawa Shoko muttered to herself.
Nagumo Ugetsu and Uesugi Kotsugi also looked shocked.
Although the Snake Clan also possesses some dragon bones preserved through secret excavations, in terms of completeness, the dragon bones of this White King Bloodwing can already rank among the top three in the collections of the eight great families.
After all, the Oni Clan had tried to extract cells from dragon bones decades ago to develop evolution medicine. As the most powerful hybrid force in all of Japan, the Snake Clan naturally couldn't be without dragon bone reserves.
However, dragon bone remains with such high integrity and rank are extremely rare.
"I have a general understanding of how the Toyokawa family attempted to advance their bloodline."
