Chapter 412: Advancement, Transcendent!

Of course, technically speaking, Ji Ye wasn’t going to die for sure.
It was because he had already cultivated a Yin Soul. Worse came to worst, he could always abandon his body and move his soul into the Soul Mask. After that, he could find a new body with the mask’s ability of possession and then fuse his soul with the new body.
This way, he could reincarnate himself in someone else’s body!
However, there would still be heavy losses. The Flood Dragon Bloodline, the Dragon Aura, the inner strength... He would even lose the power that was based on his physical body.
He would have to spend a tremendous amount of Honor and EXP in order to regain his strength.
The critical problem with this method was that there might not be enough time, because it was already the ninth day since the advancement of the settlement.
Theoretically speaking, all the islands would start to connect on the next day. Aliens and villains would be coming to Dragon City in all directions.
It was possible that some Transcendent enemies were coming.
That was not an exaggeration. After all, even though the other settlements’ level was lower than Dragon City’s, the people in them might not be weak, just like the Eagle Man Boss earlier!
Also, another problem with possession was to find a body that he could possess.
Could he possess an ordinary person in the fort?
Or maybe he could choose the villain Commanders who deeply trusted him because of King’s Contract so that he could recover his strength faster?
To be honest, Ji Ye was quite reluctant to do that!
“What should I do?”
Covered in the glow of the Healing talent, Ji Ye thought quickly.
“Oh, right. The Soul Mask?”
All of a sudden, Ji Ye came up with a solution.
If the Legendary True Blood recognized whether or not it was in the body of its descendant with the soul, couldn’t he simply turn his soul into that of a real dragon-blood creature via the Soul Mask?
For example, he could turn his soul into the shape of the carp king he just killed!
Oh, wait. That probably couldn’t solve the problem.
It was best to transform his soul into that of the descendant of the Flood Dragon King who left the Legendary True Blood!
“The Black Serpent? Let me have a try!”
The Void Ring flashed, and two items flew out.
They were the Jade Dragon Sword that had been broken into halves and the completely transparent Soul Mask.
Pa!
In the next moment, the dry and skinny dragon claw, which was cracking and dripping blood, pointed at the white Jade Dragon Sword.
Clang!
Immediately, the sword cracked like a spider web even though it was too hard for any weapon to leave a mark on it, revealing the two sections of the transparent Black Serpent Sword!
“Roar (Fusion)!” Ji Ye, who had turned into a Flood Dragon, said solemnly.
He had discovered that the soul of the Black Serpent remained in the sword when he fused the Jade Dragon Sword earlier.
That was the reason why the sword resonated with him so well in battles when he activated the Flood Dragon Blood.
Unlike the souls of regular creatures, probably because it had become spoils and was modified by the human power of providence, the remaining soul of the Black Serpent in the sword wasn’t hostile to him.
To be more exact, the brutal spirit of the Black Serpent had been separated after its death and turned into an offering to summon Lu Zhishen.
Therefore, there was no real “spirit” in the Black Serpent Sword’s soul, and it could be readily fused.
Besides, both the Black Serpent Sword and the Soul Mask had already been fused once, so the new fusion wouldn’t take too long.
After another two minutes, the brilliance of the Fusion talent and the soul on the Black Serpent Sword were gone.
The Soul Mask, on the other hand, turned into a black snake that was about one foot long and covered Ji Ye’s own soul.
Hum!
When the next round of the Legendary True Blood’s waves hit the Black Serpent’s soul, they reverberated with each other, and the furious impact became a lot gentler.
“My guess is correct!”
Sensing the changes of the Legendary True Blood, there was finally relief in the Flood Dragon’s eyes.
However, that was not enough.
During the impacts of the Legendary True Blood, the Flood Dragon’s body had been heavily ruined.
He couldn’t recover it even with the Healing talent. After all, the damage was caused by Transcendent and even Legendary powers.
Also, even though the Legendary True Blood had become a lot gentler, it was still emitting waves nonstop and destroying the body, as if it was polishing the body in a way.
The waves weren’t just coming from within. Ji Ye even vaguely sensed that similar waves were reaching his body from the outside world!
When the waves were combined, the transformation of his body became even more intense.
“Well, I should probably transform again!”
With the Soul Mask’s ability, he had parsed the information in the Legendary True Blood’s waves and learned the body structure of the Black Serpent!
So, the choice was pretty obvious...
“Eye Painting Brush!”
Ji Ye controlled the Eye Painting Brush, which had sunk to the bottom of the lake, to fly again with his mental power.
Fortunately, because he had rested for seven days, there was enough Transcendent power in the Eye Painting Brush for him to use it again!
Hum!
A great amount of Dragon Aura flowed in, and he pointed the brush on the Flood Dragon’s forehead with his blood as the ink.
The Legendary True Blood was not a common item, and neither was the Eye Painting Brush!
As the brush of one of the four greatest painters, and because it was involved in the tale of enlivening dragons by painting their eyes, the brush was also Legendary in its complete form!
Although this brush was merely a weakened replica from a Battlefield of Providence, it was still more powerful than regular Transcendent items.
When their powers were combined, Ji Ye’s scales turned from metallic green into pure dark, and a brighter and brighter golden light surfaced in his bloodthirsty eyes. The dry and skinny claws of the Flood Dragon became thicker and darker too!
Black obviously looked more intimidating than the original green color!
Not just his body, but the Black Serpent in the Soul Mask was transforming from a serpent into a Flood Dragon too!
The level of his soul was gradually rising too.
Boom!
About ten minutes later, a huge hole was left at the center of the lake after an explosion.
“Roar!”
A black Flood Dragon multiple meters long emerged from the water stepping on the broken reflections of the sunlight.
With a loud roar that the four islands of the settlement could all hear, it soared to the sky covered in a cloud that was made of Dragon Aura.
Screech...
In the Twin Dragon Mount fort, several Extraordinary Golden Condors who had carried several men to the sky after the “earthquake” seemed to be faced with the most formidable enemy after hearing the roar.
Their golden features exploded, and they flapped in panic in the sky, dropping the passengers on them to the ground.
Even Gold, the leader of the Golden Condors that had advanced to Extraordinary Rank-7, also raised its feathers and shivered.
However, it seemed to have sensed its connection to the “Flood Dragon” in the sky. Although it was still ill, at the very least, it wasn’t flying aimlessly like other Golden Condors.
“No need to panic. The City Master must’ve made a breakthrough!”
Yan Qing jumped off from the back of the leader of the Golden Condors and swooped down, saving two men who had been thrown off by the panicked Golden Condors.
A pair of wings made of blue Battle Aura appeared on his back, and he took them to the ground safely.
After that, he asked a few soldiers of the Golden Condor Unit to soothe the Golden Condors that were shocked by the dragon roar.
“City Master... Is this the power that the strongest man on the Land of Inheritance possesses?”
“He can really turn into a dragon. No wonder it’s called ‘Dragon City’!”
“Was the earthquake caused by his breakthrough too?”
These two players were not ordinary people. They were the ones who had been specially invited!
Unlike the fourth batch of players, these special players didn’t have to wait seven days and could enter the Land of Inheritance anytime.
Because there were too many things to do in Dragon City, the two of them had entered in advance to help in whatever way they could.
They had yet to meet Ji Ye as Ji Ye had been training in seclusion. They were both surprised and earnest.
“Has the City Master made a breakthrough?”
“He roars in the sky and shocks the heavens. He’s truly a Chosen One!”
At the same time, many Commanders in Dragon City raised their heads after hearing the roar.
They all saw the vague black dragon that was covered in the white clouds!
However, although it was a Flood Dragon, it looked much more daunting with its black scales, which looked like ink jade under the sunlight, than the previous hornless green Flood Dragon. In particular, its bright gold eyes showed its noble bloodline that was much better than the green Flood Dragon’s!
