Chapter 48: Your Bloodlines Are Too Weak
Di Tian's aura surged rapidly, reaching its peak in an instant.
"Ao Tian, aren't you going to use your true form?" he prompted.
Ao Tian shook his head, "No need."
Di Tian felt a flicker of displeasure, thinking Ao Tian was clearly looking down on him.
He didn't say more, instead, a terrifying claw descended towards Ao Tian. With his cultivation of over eight hundred thousand years, combined with the Dragon God Claw bestowed by the Dragon God, the power was absolutely terrifying.
The space of Douluo Continent was still somewhat fragile. Around the Dragon God Claw, the domineering power compressed and caused the space to collapse continuously, pressing towards Ao Tian.
The vast might of the dragon filled this space, causing everyone except Ao Tian to tremble in their hearts, instinctively feeling the urge to submit.
Ao Tian's spiritual sense perceived Di Tian's energy fluctuations and power, then controlled his own power to match Di Tian's level.
"True Dragon Combat Technique!" He called out softly, his pale fist shooting towards the sky.
This killing technique of the Dragon Clan had long been cultivated by him to the pinnacle. Even when executed with a human body, this punch was filled with endless profundity.
Ao Tian, in his human form, was confronting a black giant dragon over thirty meters tall. His small fist contrasted sharply with the giant claws, creating a strong visual impact.
Everyone who saw this scene, the balance of victory in their hearts involuntarily began to tilt towards Di Tian.
Xiao Wu tightly hugged her mother's leg, her body trembling slightly, her big eyes filled with worry.
Di Tian's Dragon's Might rolled outwards with his claw, causing the void to constantly collapse, while Ao Tian's punch seemed ordinary, like a weak human youth throwing a powerless punch.
No matter how you looked at it, Ao Tian was bound to lose.
Only Ao Tian himself knew that the power of his punch was completely contained, not revealing a single trace.
Under everyone's gaze, a claw and a fist finally collided.
Di Tian's Dragon God Claw and Ao Tian's fist remained locked together, motionless. There was no deafening sound, no explosion of violent energy. At this moment, time seemed to stand still.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded by this bizarre scene.
That delicate fist… had actually blocked the black dragon's giant claw?
Who would win? Who would lose?
Ao Tian's expression was calm, showing no emotion.
Di Tian was stunned for a moment, but then a wave of immense shock surged within him.
"How is this possible?" he roared inwardly.
Immediately, the sound of cracking filled the air, reaching the ears of everyone present.
Everyone stared blankly at the enormous black Dragon God Claw, the cracking sounds originating from there.
Countless cracks appeared on the black scales of the Dragon God Claw. With a loud bang, the scales exploded, and flesh splattered.
The massive Dragon God Claw, as large as a small house, completely shattered and disintegrated.
Pale golden blood erupted from the broken arm like a volcanic eruption. The blood was extremely hot, sizzling as it hit the ground.
Ao Tian stood below, the pale golden blood cascading down like a waterfall. It was automatically deflected before it could touch him.
His expression remained calm, unruffled. He slowly retracted his fist.
"You lost," he said softly.
Ao Tian was somewhat disappointed. So this is the Dragon God's ultimate divine technique passed down to the Dragon Clan. It wasn't even remotely comparable to his True Dragon Combat Technique.
Although it was possible that Di Tian's comprehension wasn't sufficient, in his opinion, the Dragon God Claw was still too crude.
Di Tian's enormous body began to shrink, eventually transforming into a human form.
His face was handsome and resolute, and the pain in his arm caused him to furrow his brow slightly.
His hand had broken off at the wrist, completely gone, looking quite terrifying.
The flesh and blood wriggled, attempting to regenerate.
However, blood continued to gush out, and the wound contained an extremely overbearing law power, preventing it from healing.
As a large amount of blood was lost, Di Tian's complexion gradually turned pale.
Jade Swan Biji rushed out of the forest, her healing soul skill landing on Di Tian's arm.
However, the effect wasn't obvious. This wasn't an ordinary wound; the overbearing power of the True Dragon Combat Technique still lingered within.
Ao Tian had held back at the last moment; otherwise, Di Tian's entire arm would likely have been lost.
"Let me." Ao Tian stepped forward.
Zi Ji sprinted over from a distance, landing beside Di Tian. Her large purple eyes were filled with killing intent as she glared at Ao Tian.
Di Tian gently patted her shoulder with his left hand, saying, "Let him do it."
When Ao Tian's punch erupted with its terrifying power, Di Tian had experienced the horror of it firsthand; there was simply no way he could have resisted.
That terrifying power had only destroyed his palm before stopping. He knew Ao Tian had held back.
Ao Tian walked up to Di Tian and patted him on the shoulder. Divine power surged into his arm, dispelling the lingering energy in the wound.
Even though Ao Tian's divine power was only flowing through Di Tian's arm, it was enough to shock him.
He had a feeling that if this small portion of energy Ao Tian injected into his body were to erupt, it would be enough to tear his body to shreds.
Moreover, the Dragon's might contained within this energy was terrifying to the extreme. The last time Di Tian felt such a terrifying Dragon's might was from the Dragon God.
"You..." he couldn't help but exclaim.
Zi Ji, who was beside him, thought that Ao Tian had ambushed Di Tian and immediately unleashed a surge of killing intent, striking out with a palm towards Ao Tian.
"Don't!" Di Tian shouted, but it was already too late to stop her.
Ao Tian didn't care at all. The Law of Space formed an invisible barrier, blocking Zi Ji's attack.
Zi Ji pulled Di Tian back a few steps, looking at him with a puzzled expression. She asked, "Are you alright?"
Di Tian shook his head and said, "You misunderstood, Senior is healing me."
Senior?
Xiao Wu and the others, including Xiong Jun and the others who had walked out of the forest, were all astonished. Di Tian's attitude had changed so quickly; he was already respectfully calling Ao Tian "Senior."
Ao Tian smiled and nodded, saying, "Open your mouth."
Although puzzled, Di Tian obediently opened his mouth slightly.
Ao Tian's palm skin split open, and a drop of golden blood seeped out, then floated in the air.
He didn't suppress the pressure emanating from this drop of blood. The terrifying Dragon's might made everyone feel as if the entire sky was pressing down on them, and they couldn't help but want to kneel down.
But at the same time, the aura emanating from this drop of golden blood was incredibly alluring, arousing an urge to swallow it.
"Your bloodlines are still too weak," Ao Tian said, waving his hand. The blood landed in Di Tian's mouth.
He had a good impression of Di Tian. Although their forms were different, they were indeed both from the dragon clan, making Di Tian, in a real sense, a member of Ao Tian's kind. Therefore, he casually bestowed a chance encounter.
Di Tian's body instantly shone with golden light. Unprecedented and terrifying pressure erupted from him, causing even Zi Ji, who was supporting him, to retreat involuntarily.
His right arm, which had been severed, quickly grew back, and in the blink of an eye, it was fully restored.
Di Tian trembled all over, shouting excitedly, "Senior, my bloodline is evolving, my cultivation is soaring! This single drop of blood can increase my cultivation by at least tens of thousands of years!"
Through this drop of blood, he finally confirmed Ao Tian's identity as a dragon.
Everyone turned their heads in disbelief, staring at Ao Tian in shock.
Ao Tian suddenly turned his head and looked at the emerald green lake.
At that moment, the entire forest began to tremble violently. The ground cracked, and the lake water rapidly disappeared, revealing the lake bed in a matter of moments.
There's one more chapter. I've already written it on my computer, but I have something to go out for. There was a bug with the software, and I couldn't sync it to my phone, so I'll have to go back and post it later. It'll be a bit late.
