Are You Used to Your Flaws?

"Senior, what's going on? How did this guy become so clever?" The green-feathered parrot flew away, leaving Long Chen standing in place.

The last time he saw the green-feathered parrot, it was foolish and easily fooled. Why did it suddenly become intelligent this time?

"That's just your bad luck. This fellow's intelligence fluctuates, sometimes high and sometimes low. Maybe it's currently at its peak intelligence," answered Qiankun Ding.

"Is that so?" Long Chen couldn't help but feel speechless.

"This guy is really strong now. If we could manipulate it to help us, seizing the Emperor's Reverse Scale would be much easier," Long Chen sighed.

"The key issue is time. It has already sensed its own opportunity, and it won't sacrifice its time to assist you," Qiankun Ding explained.

"Never mind, relying on myself is the most reliable option."

In the end, Long Chen had no choice but to give up. When he tried to learn about the origin of the green-feathered parrot from Qiankun Ding, the latter pretended to be mute once again, leaving Long Chen with no option.

The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest moved forward, and the aura of the Emperor's Reverse Scale ahead became increasingly intense. The boundless power of dragon blood was being wildly unleashed, filling the entire world.

"What a waste!"

Long Chen couldn't help but feel a bit sad. It was truly squandering a treasure. The Emperor's Reverse Scale was releasing these precious powers just to weaken the seal's strength.

The strength of the seal came from the origin power of the Chaotic Dragon Emperor. Unfortunately, Long Chen's abilities were limited, and he could only watch as these energies were wasted without any way to stop it.

Although these energies were a great supplement for the Dragon Blood Warriors, compared to the endless amounts of energy, what they could absorb was merely a drop in the ocean.

The Dragon Blood Warriors, the Hidden Dragon Warriors, and the disciples of the Wind God Pavilion were all working hard to enhance themselves, simultaneously absorbing energy and comprehending divine symbols without neglect.

Long Chen looked at Li Qi. At this point, Li Qi had already condensed three ancestral veins. Unlike before, he didn't need to advance to the Nine Veins Heavenly Saint first, but directly formed his ancestral veins, saving a lot of time.

Behind Li Qi, three dragon veins converged, their crystal-like scales emitting a murderous aura. His presence was astonishing. Li Qi's Dragon Soul was that of an ancient fierce dragon, a mutated dragon with a cruel, bloodthirsty, and war-loving nature.

The reason it had fused with Li Qi in the first place was because it had defeated all the other earth-element Dragon Souls, giving it the privilege of first choice. However, Li Qi's ancestral attribute was not to its liking, but it had no choice but to accept it.

However, when Li Qi absorbed the destiny fruit of the Blood English Wind, the power of earth-element mutation and his own earth-element mutated dragon soul instantly harmonized. At that moment, it began to integrate with Li Qi without reservation, emanating a ferocious aura.

At this point, Li Qi no longer displayed the gentle and benevolent demeanor; instead, he exhibited the decisive and ruthless attitude required for demon-slaying.

As they approached the Emperor's Reverse Scale, and as the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest absorbed more energy, Li Qi's rate of improvement would only accelerate.

When Long Chen looked at Tang Wan'er, his heart raced. Tang Wan'er had already condensed her eleventh ancestral vein of dragon qi. However, as the eleventh ancestral vein of dragon qi appeared, Tang Wan'er's aura became profound. Even her wind-element fluctuations became elusive. Behind this concealment was an infinite and boundless power.

Witnessing this scene, Long Chen couldn't help but inhale sharply. The changes brought about by Tang Wan'er's eleventh ancestral vein of dragon qi were astonishing. Long Chen sensed a qualitative transformation in Tang Wan'er's wind-element energy.

"Boss..."

Just at that moment, Song Mingyuan, who had been in seclusion, emerged. At this point, Song Mingyuan's spirit was vibrant. His eyes held a faint gleam of moisture, and his aura fluctuated like an immense sea. With every breath, one could feel powerful energy in transformation.

"Wow, his whole demeanor has changed." Upon seeing Song Mingyuan, Long Chen couldn't help but feel amazed and delighted.

Long Chen looked at Song Mingyuan. At this point, with Li Qi's support, Song Mingyuan had advanced to the Nine Veins Heavenly Saint level, and he had even reached the stage of Nine Veins Grand Perfection. His control over the power of the ancestral veins had reached a profound level.

Long Chen could discern Song Mingyuan's realm at a glance due to his own level. At present, Song Mingyuan was only one step away from the Human Emperor realm; he just needed to merge the nine veins to ascend.

"It's all thanks to you and Li Qi's support," Song Mingyuan said with excitement, his voice even trembling.

Up to now, he had completely merged with the Dragon Soul. After the fusion, he had finally comprehended the significance of the power of the earth element. He felt a sense of enlightenment, as if a sudden realization had cleared his mind.

"No need for the formalities between us brothers. How do you feel?" Long Chen asked.

"I feel great. Now I truly understand the meaning of the power of the earth element. From now on, I'll be responsible for the safety of the Dragon Blood Legion," Song Mingyuan confidently declared.

"Haha, with your confidence, I feel much more at ease," Long Chen laughed heartily.

Song Mingyuan was different from Li Qi; he was more reserved and introverted, not one to boast easily. His words demonstrated his high level of confidence in his abilities.

Currently, Song Mingyuan had reached the pinnacle of the Nine Veins Heavenly Saint level, and he no longer needed to cultivate. He only needed to adapt to his new powers.

Song Mingyuan had awakened, while Ah Man had fallen asleep. This time, it wasn't to conserve food, but because after eating, Ah Man needed to digest the flesh and blood within his body. At this time, the energy concentrated in his belly, making him easily feel drowsy. Thus, when Ah Man slept, he was either conserving energy or enhancing his strength.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was an explosion ahead as a moving castle narrowly passed by the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, almost colliding with it. Although they didn't collide, the protective auras of the two enormous entities brushed against each other. The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest only trembled slightly, but the castle wavered in the air and almost tipped over.

"You fool, don't you have eyes?" A voice filled with curses came from within the castle, carrying a chilling demonic aura. Evidently, the occupants of the castle were a group of powerful demons.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Long Chen, seeing that they were demons, instantly flared up. Were they trying to provoke him again?

"Buzz."

The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest suddenly quivered, its speed instantly soaring to its limit. It ruthlessly crashed into the massive castle ahead.

While the castle had been speeding along before, as it approached the Emperor's Reverse Scale, the distorted space made it difficult to control its direction, nearly causing it to collide with the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.

Within the castle, the demon experts struggled to stabilize it. Just as they were attempting to do so, the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, like a colossal meteor, crashed mercilessly onto the castle. The demon experts within the castle let out startled cries.

"Boom."

The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest collided heavily with the castle. The castle was much smaller than the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, resembling a boulder crashing into an egg. Amid the explosion, the castle disintegrated instantly, turning into scattered debris.
