Chapter 1295: Evolution in the Cauldron

Klang!

As soon as Li Jingzhe finished his words, the cover of the Volcano Cauldron lifted up gradually. Crimson red fumes flooded out of it and the temperature in the Grand Hall soared.

The crimson red spiritual liquid bubbled in the Volcano Cauldron like lava.

Then, the Volcano Cauldron vibrated a little and the volcano carved onto its sides began to spew out magma continuously. The magma circulated around the cauldron like an inscription and the temperature rose to an astonishing level.

It seemed like stepping into the cauldron was akin to stepping into a volcano itself.

It was definitely going to feel like entering the depths of hell itself.

However, Li Luo did not hesitate at all. He knew that this was a rare opportunity with Li Jingzhe watching over him from the side. Others could only dream of having such treatment. If he was still afraid in such a situation, he would truly not deserve to obtain a Heavenly Dragon resonance.

As such, he took a step forward and leapt into the cauldron in a flash. His vision was clouded with crimson red and the world space in the Volcano Cauldron was larger than he had imagined, likely due to the magical nature of the cauldron. The crimson red spiritual liquid boiled continuously. The bubbles gradually grew larger until they popped, releasing a terrifying amount of heat.

Li Luo's feet landed on the crimson red spiritual liquid cautiously.

Suddenly, a surge of hot air shot up from the soles of his feet. The spiritual liquid appeared to possess sentence as it slowly crawled up his body. Anywhere it passed by, he could sense an excruciating pain from the burn.

It wasn't just the physical pain from getting burnt. Li Luo could feel a gush of hot air wreaking havoc within his body.

Green veins surfaced and his usually handsome face turned a little twisted.

Fortunately, he was already prepared for it. He summoned up his resonant power to protect the core of his body. At the same time, he activated the Crimson Pill Blood Refinement Resonance art.

The blood in his body became invigorated and Li Luo could hear a faint draconic roar resounding through him.

As the crimson red mist continued to invade his body, it finally came into contact with Li Luo's blood.

In that moment, a horrifying pain spread across his body.

Even with Li Luo's mental fortitude, he nearly screamed out in agony. He understood that this was the spiritual liquid trying to refine and fuse with his Heavenly Dragon blood essence.

This was the pain and price he had to pay to evolve.

He had lost count of how long this excruciating pain went on before he sensed a faint strand of violet golden energy in his body. This violet golden energy gave off an extremely pure and ancient draconic might.

As it cruised through his body, the violet golden energy seemed to have taken the form of a dragon. The manifestation appeared faint and temporal but its might was absolute. The violet golden dragon scales gave off a sense of nobility unmatched amongst heaven and earth.

A thought flashed across Li Luo's mind. He understood that this was the true Heavenly Dragon blood essence.

This was the Heavenly Dragon blood essence that was created from the extraordinary spiritual liquid and the Crimson Pill Blood Refinement Resonance art.

He focused his mind and the strand of violet golden energy flew into his Thunder Dragon resonant palace.

The palace was overcast with thunderclouds and a dragon manifestation swam amongst them, bathing in the lightning.

As soon as the strand of violet golden energy flew into the resonant palace, the dragon manifestation paused in its tracks. Its dragon eyes burst out with an extreme desire for it.

The dragon manifestation opened its mouth and sucked in viciously.

In the blink of an eye, it swallowed up the strand of violet golden energy.

After swallowing the strand of energy, the dragon manifestation coiled up and began to rest atop the thunderclouds. After a few moments, the energy undulations coming from the dragon manifestation grew even more fearsome. If one were to look at it carefully, they would notice a very faint violet golden glow on the scales of the dragon. Its horn had also grown a little longer, sharper and almost regal.

Li Luo understood what this signified in his heart.

This meant that the Crimson Pill Blood Refinement Resonance art was working. He had refined the Heavenly Dragon blood essence in his body and infused it into his dragon resonance. His dragon resonance had also begun to evolve.

However, it seemed like the evolution would be slow.

But it didn't matter how slow it would be. As long as it would be successful, Li Luo had the patience for it.

His only challenge now was to endure the excruciating pain during the process to refine the Heavenly Dragon blood essence. Li Luo understood that in this world, power that came out of nowhere would not be reliable. Only the ones where he worked hard to cultivate would stay true to him.

As such, he endured the pain. His mental state slowly calmed down.

He cleared his mind of all additional thoughts and focused only on the Crimson Pill Blood Refinement Resonance art.

Outside the Volcano Cauldron, Li Jingzhe and Li Qingpeng slowly nodded their head as they saw Li Luo regain his composure in the cauldron.

"Little Luo has extraordinary mental fortitude. Although he appears gentle during normal times, he possesses grit engraved into his bones. It seems like there won't be any problems evolving his resonance." Li Qingpeng said with a smile.

Li Jingzhe nodded his head. Compared to Li Taixuan, Li Luo was more introverted and adaptable. This might be due to the differences in their upbringing. Li Taixuan grew up in the Dragon's Fang Lineage and was always in the spotlight. This was also one of the reasons that led to his troubles subsequently. As for Li Luo, he grew up in House Luolan where Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan had disappeared for years. This had taught Li Luo to keep a low profile. It shouldn't be hard for Li Luo to evolve his dragon resonance into a Heavenly Dragon resonance this time. The crux would be what grade his Heavenly Dragon resonance ended up with.

"He will need quite a bit of time for his evolution this time. Arrange to seal up all access to this Grand Hall. No one is allowed to enter or exit. Head over and tell Qing'e there is no need to worry." Li Jingzhe gave the order to Li Qingpeng.

"Yes." Li Qingpeng accepted it and left immediately.

In the Grand Hall, Li Jingzhe sat down casually in the lotus position. He closed his eyes and stood guard over the place personally.

This session lasted two months.

During these two months, the World End's River Region was getting more lively. As time went by, people began to notice a faint mist appearing in the air. This mist was mysterious and appeared to contain faint and strange whispers that could corrupt one's mind.

The people in the World End's River Region were no stranger to this mist. This was known as the Calamity Mist. The appearance of this mist meant that the so-called Stygian Rain of Calamity was coming soon.

Some began to worry over it. Others were elated.

The greatest opportunity in the World End's River Region would appear right before the Stygian Rain of Calamity. The opening of the World End's River Treasure Domain would be coming soon.

This was a great opportunity that many Dukes and major powers had been eyeing.

Numerous Foundational Spirit Treasures would appear whenever the World End's River Treasure Domain opened up. Some of them would be top grade Foundational Spirit Treasures. Even the usually proud upper grade Dukes would join the fight for it.

As such, more people had come into the World End's River Region as the Calamity Mist appeared. Some of them were even well known figures in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent.

As the World End's River Region got more lively, it also got more chaotic.

...

In the World End's River Region, base of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin, Abyssal City.

In the west side of the City, there was a huge reception platform made of a giant blue gemstone. This was only used by the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin when they wanted to welcome distinguished guests.

Today, all the Elders had gathered. Led by Qin Jiujie, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin stood guard in this Abyssal City.

Qin Lian was present as well.

Behind her, there were Qin Yi and Chu Qing.

The two of them were looking up into the sky. A giant object flew across. It was a giant ship but the whole body of the giant ship seemed to be made of some kind of beast bones. The shapes of thousands of beasts were engraved onto it.

Qin Yi stared at the giant ship. This was the renowned Heavenly Emperor powers from the Mythical Spirit Divine Continent. The Imperial Beast Hall. Under the invitation of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin, this fearsome force had arrived.
