Under the veil of night, a gale erupted.

A python-like bolt of lightning tore across the sky, slashing through the dark night.

"Su Aoxue, you've betrayed me!"

In the royal city's back garden, the young man's pupils were completely bloodshot, his pale clean face full of fury.

His name was Ye Chen, heir to one of the four major families, the Ye family.

At just sixteen years old, he reached the Body Tempering Tenth Stage, demonstrating exceptional talent.

Alongside Princess Su Aoxue, they were known as the Dual Pillars of the Qing Kingdom.

Previously, Su Aoxue invited Ye Chen to the back garden to drink tea and discuss philosophical questions.

However, taking just one sip of tea, Ye Chen felt his entire body's spiritual energy dissipate.

The tea was spiked with poison!

"Ye Chen, if it weren't for the Dragon's bloodline in your body, why would I, Su Aoxue, bother with you?"

Facing him, a girl with a delicate face raised her chin, showing matchless arrogance.

"Over the years, you've nourished the power of the Dragon's bloodline quite decently. After integrating with your Dragon's bloodline, she will have the qualifications to enter the Tianquan Sect. As for you, Ye Chen, you will become a complete and utter waste," an elderly man dressed in a black robe sneered.

He was the Grand Preceptor, one of the two Semi Xuan realm figures in the Qing Kingdom.

Above the Ten Stages of Body Refining, stands the Realm of Mystical Powers.

The Realm of Mystical Powers is divided into - the Human Spiritual Realm, Earth Spiritual Realm, Heaven Spiritual Realm, and Half-step to the Mysterious Realm.

“You approached me with ulterior motives, all along intending to seize my bloodline,” Ye Chen practically gritted his teeth into pieces.

He met Su Aoxue during a certain life-changing experience. Their uniquely extraordinary talents drew them to each other. Plus, despite the intermittent expressions of love from Su Aoxue, the two naturally ended up together.

He never thought all this would be a conspiracy!

“Of course, bloodline is important, however, your Ye Family has been too prosperous recently. If you continue to grow unhindered, I am afraid the Ye Family will soon rival my Imperial family. Thus, how could we let you live?”

A proud mockery lifted the corners of Su Aoxue’s lips.

With the clenching of the Master’s palm, a surge of spiritual energy encapsulated Ye Chen from the void.

Under the pressure of this spiritual energy, Ye Chen felt his bloodline feverishly gathering in his heart.

Only a moment later, a blood bead infused with the blood of the mystical dragon fell into Su Aoxue’s hands.

“Now that we have the bloodline, kill that piece of trash.”

Her eyes were fixated on the bloodline, her pupils ablaze.

It’s as if everything else is insignificant.

“Your Highness, if he dies in the back garden, we won't be able to explain it to the world.”

The Grand Tutor actively reminded, "Without his bloodline, he's nothing more than a complete waste. Even if we spare his life, it's not worth worrying about."

"Everything, you decide, I'm going to integrate the bloodline!"

After speaking, Su AoXue turned around and walked away, leaving only a prideful silhouette behind.

She didn't care about the life and death of a useless person.

On a night of lightning and thunder, the young man managed to drag his severely injured body out of the palace.

"One day, I will make you pay in blood!"

Ye Chen's eyes were blood-red, like they were filled with blood.

...

...

"Su AoXue!"

Ye Chen roared out and woke up from his unconsciousness.

Those scenes, like a nightmare, could not be dismissed from his mind.

"Ye Chen, are you awake?"

A young boy came in from the outside and threw a medicinal herb on the table.

He gave Ye Chen a cold glance, "I really don't understand, you are already a cripple, why does the family still treat you so well? This is the only eighty-year-old herb in the family and it's going to be wasted on you."

The bitterness evident in his words made Ye Chen frown slightly.

The youth was named Ye Hen, talented yet always overshadowed by others.

Their relationship had always been somewhat tense.

"And we have the idiot Ye Meng. He actually went to the imperial city to argue for you, a disastrous failure of a being. An unsuccessful endeavor leading to the loss of his legs, and returning to the clan lifted by others! Our Ye clan was once flourishing, only to be endangered all at once because of your despicable actions! Audacious enough to rape a princess, Ye Chen, you truly have the audacity!"

Ye Hen grew more and more impassioned as he spoke, standing up near the end, bellowing at Ye Chen.

"What did you say?"

Within Ye Chen's pupils flashed absolute fury.

Ye Meng, being the oldest among their peers, was an honest and simple-minded person, who took great care of his younger siblings.

And he had, in fact, become crippled?

Furthermore, was pinned with the guilt of forcing himself on a princess?

Trying to use this as an excuse to target my Ye clan?

Su Ao Xue, you are so heartless!

Ye Chen closed his eyes, a sting of pain surfacing.

All of this, it all started because of him!

The intense emotional conflict rendered him both angry and regretful.

Ye Hen sneered, "And the Eldest Princess, she has awoken the Dragon Sparrow Profound Body, and has already been taken in as a core disciple by the Heavenly Spring Sect! That's the Heavenly Spring Sect, the most powerful sect in this region. Whoever is able to cultivate there will certainly receive huge benefits!"

"She is the supreme phoenix, and you, are just a piece of trash!"

Dragon Sparrow Profound Body?

My Jiaolong Bloodline actually helped Su Ao Xue upgrade her spirit body to a profound body?

Ye Chen was stunned, then anger surfaced.

The path of cultivation is unpredictable, but unique body constitutions and bloodlines are the most rare!

They are classified into grades: Spirit, Profound, Saint, Emperor, and King.

The Dragon Sparrow Profound Body is enough to make Su Ao Xue the most eye-catching genius in the Heavenly Spring Sect.

No wonder she calculated this way!

"You not only seek your own death but also implicate the family, you good-for-nothing who does more harm than good. If I were you, I wouldn't even waste any herbs but look for a rope to hang myself!"

Ye Hen roared loudly with his neck veins bulging.

"Slap!"

In his rage, Ye Chen slapped him across his face.

Then, he suddenly declared, "I am the heir of the Ye family, no matter how desperate the Ye family's situation may be, I will do everything I can, I don't need you to tell me what to do!"

"You hitting me proves nothing, if you're capable, go confront Su Ao Xue, go confront Fang Luo!"

Ye Hen covered his face, his eyes still filled with resentment.

Even if Ye Chen is useless, he is still the crown prince.

Slapping him, he was not allowed to retaliate.

"Fang Luo?"

Ye Chen's heart sank, a bad premonition creeping up on him.

Fang Luo, the young master of one of the four major clans—the Fang family, and also the betrothed of his cousin Ye Ning.

"Fang Luo is outside the door right now, preparing to publicly dump Ye Ning. Weren't you extremely close to her since childhood? Why aren't you going out to challenge Fang Luo? Once she gets dumped, her reputation will be ruined, and Ye Ning will never be able to marry again. It's all your fault!"

After Ye Hen finished speaking, he glared resentfully at the herbs.

Then, full of resentment, he left the room.

"Puh!"

Like suffering a heavy blow, Ye Chen spat out a mouthful of blood.

Fang Luo, you had pushed me too far!

The Fang family stands at the bottom among the four major clans, and they've always been trying their best to cling to the Ye family.

The head of the Fang family, Fang Yuan, even knelt and begged Ye Chongshan, the head of the Ye family, hoping his son Fang Luo could marry Ye Ning.

Ye Chongshan didn't want to agree, but his daughter did have some feelings for Fang Luo. Finding himself in a helpless situation, he agreed.

This marriage was meant to be a union with Ye Ning playing the bride.

Who on earth gave Fang Luo the gall to dismiss his wife?

"A bunch of scum, seeing my Ye family as an easy target, they all swarm!"

Ye Chen was filled with rage, his blood boiling to the tip.

The splashed blood landed right on the jade pendant on his chest.

The jade began to tremble slightly, causing Ye Chen to falter.

This jade, of unknown origin, he had worn around his neck since childhood.

What was happening now?

"The Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron, the acknowledgment of the master succeeded--"

A vast voice echoed in Ye Chen's mind.

Before he could react, the jade transformed into a black light, drilling into his glabella.

The next moment-- Ye Chen opened his eyes, only to find himself in another world.

The sky was dark, clouded over by dense black clouds.

Within the void, three eerie secret patterns were floating.

"Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron, usurping the creation of heaven and earth, stealing the Yin and Yang reincarnation."

"Containing the three-thousand Dao principles of the universe, a formation of transformative glyphs can elevate all things' level!"

Two lines of golden text hovered above the sky.

"Spiritual bloodline, an innate sword body, in the entire Green Lotus Realm, you are certainly one of the prodigies. It is no wonder that the Universe Creation Cauldron would recognize you as its master." A detached woman's voice sounded, "What a pity, your power is still too weak."

Ye Chen earned his fame at a young age; he possessed a brave heart too.

He quickly calmed down and counter-questioned, "Senior, these transformative glyphs, can they elevate everything?"

The woman replied, "Correct! No matter if it's a technique, pill, talisman, artifact, formation, bloodline or special body constitution, as long as the transformative glyph merges within, all can be elevated!"

"Then, can it restore my cultivation?!"

Ye Chen suddenly lifted his head as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Although there's scarcely anything left of the bloodline in your body, it can still be used for enhancement. Do you see the transformative glyph in front of you? Pick up one and inject it, and your cultivation will naturally restore."

"Is that really true?"

Ye Chen's eyes were fervent as he reached out and grabbed a transformative glyph.

Immediately, a mysterious power that embodies the Dao principles surged forth.

After experiencing great ups and downs, nobody understood the importance of power more than he did!

"Ho."

Ye Chen tried to relax himself, then attempted to infuse the Creation Secret Pattern into his body, merging it with the remaining bloodline.

The Flood Dragon bloodline was a spiritual-grade bloodline, capable of greatly enhancing physical strength.

When cultivated to the extreme, one would be as strong as iron, capable of shaking mountains and splitting rivers!

However, now, the bloodline was seized, leaving only some remnants.

Additionally, his cultivation was wrecked, the crisis imminent, Ye Chen was already at the end of the road.

No matter what method, he was willing to give it a try.

Even if there was no way back!

In the next instant, an unexpected change occurred!

Ye Chen felt as if he had activated a deduction mode of some sort.

A variety of images constantly emerged in his memory.

The remnants of the Flood Dragon bloodline were actually boiling and burning within his body!

In just a few breaths, his bloodline was restored to its original state!

Minor Achievement!

Major Achievement!

Completion!

The Peak!

Ye Chen's comprehension of the Flood Dragon's bloodline soared from initial understanding to the peak realm!

Just one moment, equivalent to ten years of hard cultivation!

Terrifying indeed.

Yet, still rising!

Rising, still rising!

Above the peak?

Boom - the barrier is broken!

Bloodline evolves!

A high-grade, Dragon-Elephant bloodline!

After deducing to the utmost limit, the bloodline surprisingly evolves!

Then, the increase continues.

Beginner!

Expert!

Perfection!

Peak!

Boom - Breakthrough!

Evolution!

Holy grade, the bloodline of the dragon!

Still rising!

Minor achievement!

Major achievement!

Complete!

Peak!

Boom - Continuing the breakthrough!

Evolution!

Imperial grade, the bloodline of the battle dragon!

Still increasing!

"Boom boom boom-"

Accompanied by the sound of thunder, Ye Chen's strength and vitality were wildly increasing.

His physique was robust, his vitality like a dragon.

In the slow beating of his heart, a deep, muffled roar erupted, as if a real dragon was howling towards the heavens.

Wild, overbearing!

Finally, the deduction was over.

“Emperor, Emperor-ranked... Barbaric Ancestral Dragon bloodline?”

Even Ye Chen, with his tenacious will, could barely suppress his shock at this moment.

All he did was fuse the secret patterns of creation into his remaining flood dragon bloodline.

From a Spirit-ranked bloodline, it unexpectedly evolved into an Emperor-ranked one, creating a unique—Barbaric Ancestral Dragon bloodline!

Not far away, Ye Hen, who had just stepped out, suddenly felt an overwhelming ancient aura. He was unexpectedly forced to stumble and kneeled on the ground.

“What’s happening? Which powerhouse is breaking through?”

Ye Hen was shocked, looking all around him.

The aura came quickly and also left quickly.

He slowly stood up with some difficulty, still reminiscing the terrifying aura in his mind.
