Chapter 1417: Chapter 1417 - 1402: True Dragon Essence Blood

To be honest, facing such a terrifying existence like the Azure Scale Dragon King, whose combat power is comparable to the Dao Realm, Ye Zhen would be lying if he said he wasn’t worried.

If that Azure Scale Dragon King was even a bit irritable and decided to kill Ye Zhen on a whim, even if in the end, it resulted in his son, Dragon Prince Ao Zheng, being buried with Ye Zhen, it would still be a loss.

So, even though Ye Zhen had already made multiple preparations up till now, he still went to the dungeon of the County City of North Sea to see his captive, Dragon Prince Ao Zheng.

Though Ye Zhen had only dealt with Dragon Prince Ao Zheng three times, each time left him in a state of not wanting to live yet unable to die.

After three times, he had completely learned his lesson. At least, after seeing Ye Zhen, he no longer dared to point at Ye Zhen’s nose and curse anymore.

Of course, the hatred hidden in his eyes was even fiercer.

That kind of hatred intertwined with fear stemming from the bottom of his heart made Dragon Prince Ao Zheng’s gaze extremely venomous.

"Ao Zheng, I’m here today to tell you something. Your father, the Azure Scale Dragon King, has left the North Sea and is coming to rescue you. He’s likely to arrive in two or three days." Ye Zhen abruptly told Dragon Prince Ao Zheng.

Joy flashed in Ao Zheng’s eyes, but he still suppressed his excitement and said, "Don’t worry, as long as you let me go, I will certainly ask my father to spare you....."

Pa!

Without waiting for Ye Zhen to speak, the four-legged snake Achou emerged from Ye Zhen’s arms and gave Ao Zheng a hard slap, "You useless grandson, you can’t even lie properly. I guarantee that when you see your father, you’ll immediately ask him to kill Lord Ye ten million times!"

Ao Zheng shrank his head in fear, looking at the four-legged snake Achou, not daring to speak any nonsense. Over the days, he had already witnessed the perversion of this four-legged snake and didn’t dare to talk back.

Ye Zhen naturally knew what would happen if Dragon Prince Ao Zheng broke free. However, the purpose of this visit was to give him a wake-up call so that it wouldn’t ruin Ye Zhen’s bigger plans later.

"But before your father comes to rescue you, I want you to see something first!" With that, Ye Zhen lifted Dragon Prince Ao Zheng’s head and flew out of the dungeon.

Upon a slight command, Feng Jiumo, who had already received instructions from Ye Zhen, brought three large water demons outside the County City of North Sea.

The three water demons were terrified and clueless about their fate, while Ye Zhen slapped Dragon Prince Ao Zheng’s cheek and said, "Ao Zheng, these three water demons, just like you, have their Divine Souls bound by me!"

Ao Zheng was taken aback, still not understanding what Ye Zhen meant.

"Feng Jiumo, release their restrictions!"

The three water demons, once freed from their restrictions, were bewildered. They looked at each other, unsure of what was happening or why their restrictions were suddenly lifted.

"You have fifteen minutes. The one who runs the furthest can live!"

As soon as Ye Zhen’s words fell, the three water demons immediately used all their might, splitting into three directions and fleeing into the distance, with one of them vanishing into thin air, utilizing the Water Escape technique to escape.

"Watch carefully!"

Ye Zhen cast a glance at Dragon Prince Ao Zheng, and with a motion of his Divine Sense, in the next moment, a blood arrow burst forth from the water mist in the void, and a massive body fell from the void, its head already exploded like a crushed watermelon.

It was the water demon that had just tried to escape using Water Escape.

"Anyone whose Divine Soul has been bound by me, I can make him die a hundred times in a split second!" Along with a gentle command, Ye Zhen snapped his fingers twice.

With two pops, the heads of the two water demons that were desperately fleeing suddenly exploded, their bodies plummeting from the sky, one of them being a Dark Palace Realm water demon.

"Ahh!"

The sound of a sharp intake of breath abruptly came from Dragon Prince Ao Zheng, and his entire body, including his Dragon Horn, involuntarily began to tremble violently as if sieved from chaff.

"In about two or three days, you should be able to see your father, the Azure Scale Dragon King. By then, you can incite your father to kill me!

But, we shall see who dies first!"

As he spoke, Ye Zhen suddenly gave a sinister smile, and with a prompt of the soul-locking technique, Dragon Prince Ao Zheng immediately began to scream miserably, "By then, you can play tricks all you want. If I die, that’s your luck because you will be freed!

Heh, but if I don’t die, I’ll activate the Divine Soul Restriction technique on you day and night, and you can try it out!"

"I don’t dare, Lord Ye, I...... I absolutely won’t..... ah......"

Suddenly, unable to withstand the torture of the Divine Soul Prohibition technique, Dragon Prince Ao Zheng let out a miserable cry and unexpectedly revealed his true form.

This left Ye Zhen stunned, as it was the first time he saw Dragon Prince Ao Zheng’s true form.

Dragon Prince Ao Zheng, to a large extent, had inherited his father, the Azure Scale Dragon King’s bloodline, with a length of about five hundred meters, and his entire body covered in scale armor with a tinge of azure.

Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s gaze froze, looking stunned at Dragon Prince Ao Zheng’s true form, and his gaze became somewhat surprised.

"Four claws! Wingless!"

"True Dragon!"

The cultivation levels of the Dragon Clan are not much different from those of the ordinary Demon Race, but the Dragon Clan is a race that places great importance on bloodline inheritance; the higher the bloodline grade, the stronger the power.

However, the bloodline characteristics of the Dragon Clan are much more complex than those of the ordinary Demon Race.

The lowest level in the Dragon Clan is the Flood Dragon, which has scales but no horns. However, its forehead usually has a horn bulge and possesses two claws. Going further up, the flesh envelops the horn on its head, and its abdomen has two claws, known as the Horned Dragon.

Through arduous cultivation, the Horned Dragon grows wings on its ribs, with two claws on its abdomen, and is known as the Ying Dragon. It can control wind and rain, but it is still considered an average bloodline within the Dragon Clan.

If a Ying Dragon is fortunate, its wings transform into claws, its abdomen has four claws, its head bears a dragon horn, and its body is covered in dragon scales, it becomes known as the True Dragon. The True Dragon is considered a high-level bloodline within the Dragon Clan.

Above that, if its abdomen has five claws, it is a Five-clawed True Dragon, a bloodline more noble than that of a True Dragon. Above the Five-clawed True Dragon, there exist even nobler mutant bloodlines such as the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, Azure Dragon, Black Dragon, etc., each with its own innate divine abilities.

The bloodline of the Dragon Clan can either elevate through long years of cultivation or be innately present at birth.

Obviously, the Dragon Prince Ao Zheng in front of us was born with a noble True Dragon bloodline because of the Blue-scaled Dragon King bloodline.

Usually, the cultivation of the Dragon Clan is proportional to their bloodline.

The more noble the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, the more formidable its combat power, which makes obtaining high-level dragon blood extremely challenging.

Originally, Ye Zhen in the mansion of Marquis Xingqing Ji Tao managed to obtain five barrels of True Dragon Essence Blood by leveraging the death order of Marquis Xingqing and bribing that old eunuch, achieving the Black Dragon Tyrant Body’s cultivation of the First Stage in one go.

According to that old eunuch, True Dragon Essence Blood is extremely precious, and even Marquis Xingqing Ji Tao was only awarded ten barrels by his father, Prince Yangling.

This was because Marquis Xingqing Ji Tao was the princely heir of Prince Yangling, which shows just how rare True Dragon Essence Blood is.

Since then, Ye Zhen hasn’t acquired any True Dragon Essence Blood, let alone Ying Dragon Essence Blood.

Even with the favor Princess Changle enjoys, she is allowed to take a certain amount of Ying Dragon Essence Blood from the secret treasury of the Imperial Palace, but not True Dragon Essence Blood!

Yet before Ye Zhen’s eyes, there was a living True Dragon, one with pure bloodline and innate birth.

In this situation, if Ye Zhen didn’t know what to do, he would truly be a fool.

Simultaneously, Ye Zhen inwardly called himself foolish, having nearly missed an opportunity to obtain a massive amount of True Dragon Essence Blood.

After a few breaths, Ye Zhen brought Dragon Prince Ao Zheng back to the dungeon, ignoring his terrifying screams, directly cut him open, and drew blood!

"Rest assured, I’m only taking some of your True Dragon Essence Blood. With your large physique, losing ten or twenty thousand jin of blood won’t kill you!"

"Hmph, if you don’t want to suffer, you better cooperate obediently and force out the True Dragon Essence Blood for me. Otherwise, the suffering you just experienced, I’ll let you experience it again, but ten times crueler!"

Under Ye Zhen’s threat, Dragon Prince Ao Zheng, who had already suffered enough, howled and forced the True Dragon Essence Blood from his body, filling one barrel after another.

Under Ye Zhen’s coercion, Dragon Prince Ao Zheng released nearly ten thousand jin of True Dragon Blood on the first day, filling one hundred barrels, until he nearly fainted, only then did Ye Zhen stop.

However, given the Dragon Clan’s formidable vitality and restoration power, after almost fainting on the first day, Dragon Prince Ao Zheng demanded an enormous amount of Demon Beast corpses.

He nearly devoured like a glutton for half a day, consuming three times his body mass in food.

As a result, on the second day, Ye Zhen harvested six thousand jin, sixty barrels of True Dragon Essence Blood.

On the second day, Dragon Prince Ao Zheng almost cried while swallowing the mountain of food Ye Zhen sent. He already realized to Ye Zhen, he was considered a...

Blood Beast!

True Dragon Essence Beast!

On the third day, Dragon Prince Ao Zheng was again forced to release four thousand jin, forty barrels of True Dragon Essence Blood. After three consecutive days of releasing True Dragon Essence Blood, Dragon Prince Ao Zheng was like a limp noodle, seemingly devoid of the strength to even stand up.

Dragon Prince Ao Zheng’s cultivation fell straight from the peak of the Ninth Stage of Divine Communication Realm to the Sixth Stage, and Ye Zhen estimated that if he continued for a few more times, Dragon Prince Ao Zheng’s cultivation might even drop to the Dao Entrance Realm.

However, early on the third day, just after Ye Zhen had milked Dragon Prince Ao Zheng for True Dragon Essence Blood, his salvation arrived.

"My lord, urgent report from Niu Er: The Blue-scaled Dragon King is coming from the east via the waterways, less than twenty thousand miles from the County City of North Sea! More than three hundred thousand previously defeated Water Demons have already gathered behind him, and even more Water Demons are converging this way!" the Heavenly Patrol Divine General Fengg Jiumo urgently reported.

"Are they finally here?" Ye Zhen’s sword-like brows lifted as he spoke with overwhelming confidence, "Fengg Jiumo, do you have the guts to accompany me to meet this Blue-scaled Dragon King?"

Upon hearing this, Fengg Jiumo was momentarily stunned. "My lord, just the two of us, are we not bringing anyone else?"

In his shock, Ye Zhen was already dragging the snot-slug-like Dragon Prince Ao Zheng up into the sky. "Just the two of us, what, are you afraid?"

Fengg Jiumo was left in daze.

A few breaths later, he spat fiercely. "Damn it, people die but once, if my lord isn’t afraid, what am I afraid of?" Before he finished speaking, Fengg Jiumo’s form had already vanished into thin air!
