CHAPTER 1187: CHAPTER 1197: DEVOURING THE BLOOD CRYSTAL!

Tang Zhong stood by the creek and was dumbfounded when he saw his reflection in the water.

His reflection showed that his body joints were adorned with sharp bone spikes, yet the lines still looked elegant as if he were clad in armor.

He clenched his fist, producing a cracking sound, which evidenced his immense strength. This fist could truly smash everyone to pieces.

Is this the body of a Golden Dragon?

He initially thought he would transform into a dragon, but now realizes that was overthinking.

Looking at the Long Lin behind him, it was exceptionally impressive. He attempted to leap into the air, curious about this sensation, and to his surprise, jumped over ten meters high.

Tang Zhong had no time to prepare and almost fell to the ground. It seemed that after summoning the Giant Dragon Avatar, his physical abilities began to enhance dramatically.

After regaining his balance, Tang Zhong stared at his hand in astonishment, feeling an unprecedented powerful force. A punch now could probably create a huge pit in the ground.

Tang Zhong immediately delivered a punch downward.

With a thunderous sound, cracks gradually extended outward from where he punched, breaking apart, and from a high vantage point, one could see that area caving in directly.

This power...

Tang Zhong was shocked; this body was incredibly strong, and its full power hadn’t yet been tapped. Just now, as he punched, he could feel his organs and blood continuously pulsating, activated, as if a giant dragon was roaring within him.

Furthermore, he once heard the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers say that dragon used this Golden Dragon body to create Earth, and has stayed on Earth for many years without utilizing it, making its power very weak. If this Golden Dragon body could be strengthened, it would certainly be a mighty trump card.

When facing unbeatable enemies, who could match him if he harnessed this ability?

Then Tang Zhong returned to where he was before, gazing at the Blood Crystal floating in the air.

This thing might give the Giant Dragon Avatar some strength!

Instantly, Tang Zhong reached out and grabbed it with his hand.

The Blood Crystal, made up of the blood of countless people, carried a powerful devouring force. But at this moment, as the Blood Crystal just glimmered with red light, a golden glow flashed on his Dragon Claw, instantly dimming the light of the Blood Crystal, seemingly diving into void.

The power of the Blood Crystal was suppressed so quickly.

The ten Flame Dragon Soldiers instructed him to devour the Blood Crystal.

Tang Zhong complied without hesitation.

He swallowed the Blood Crystal directly.

His body now, being a fusion of a Giant Dragon body and a human body, albeit not a complete Giant Dragon form, Tang Zhong could distinctly feel that many of his organs were no longer human!

The Blood Crystal entered his body, bringing a scorching sensation, akin to swallowing a block of magma, yet it began to dissipate, with blood energy sweeping around.

Tang Zhong immediately sat cross-legged, frantically absorbing the power of the blood energy.

In front of the Giant Dragon Avatar, the Blood Crystal was entirely like a child, allowing Tang Zhong to devour it at will, and soon, Tang Zhong completely devoured it, the blood energy flowing from his organs into his veins, causing enormous changes to his entire being.

Most noticeably, the bone spikes across his body became sharper than before, and his scales glimmered with golden light, slightly shrouded in blood energy.

He could clearly feel that he seemed to have evolved more than before.

He stood up, clenching his fists, finding his strength only slightly increased.

He was once again amazed that such a powerful Blood Crystal, when devoured by the Giant Dragon body, barely added a smidgen of strength, revealing the body as a bottomless pit, yet also indicating the potential for greater abilities.

With the Blood Crystal successfully devoured, Tang Zhong decided to retract the body and summon the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers!

"Withdraw!"

He observed the bone spikes and scales on his body gradually dissipating, preparing to revert to a human form, and finally, the previous Tang Zhong reappeared.

From his body, a red light flashed out, transforming into the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers, who immediately inquired, "How was it? How do you feel?"

"Extremely impressive!" Tang Zhong replied, a hint of weakness still in his voice, as it was his first time, and discomfort was inevitable.

"You truly exceeded my expectations. I thought you wouldn’t succeed. After all, the Giant Dragon body is incomplete, and the fusion with your human body brings pain greater than a sea of magma, yet you endured. Well done!" remarked the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers.

Hearing this, it seemed the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers had known all along.

"How do I enhance the Giant Dragon body’s strength?" inquired Tang Zhong.

"It’s quite simple, by providing things with life aura, like the Blood Crystal from before... that’s how you gradually strengthen the Giant Dragon body," explained the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers.

"How much strength did that Blood Crystal just add to the Giant Dragon body?" Tang Zhong asked, thinking that treasure should provide a substantial boost.

"You must be dreaming. That kind of Blood Crystal pales immensely compared to the former owner’s body. Let me tell you, a single Blood Crystal increases the former owner’s strength by less than one ten-billionth... essentially, not even a hairsbreadth!" the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers scoffed.

"This..." Tang Zhong couldn’t believe this was true!

It was hard to accept that such a potent Blood Crystal, with such a dense blood aura, had so little effect.

"From now on, treasures with life aura and Spirit Fruits hold value; whenever you encounter them, strive to obtain them!" instructed the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers.

"No problem!" Tang Zhong nodded.

The power of the Giant Dragon body, as he experienced earlier, when properly used, was absolutely formidable, and as he felt when he utilized the Giant Dragon body, his prowess could soar to Stellar Level, which, conservatively speaking, exceeds any Planet Level encountered before.

No matter what, this Giant Dragon body was his, and strength is always good.

On the spot, he practiced summoning the Giant Dragon Avatar, and after several attempts, he honed his skill, the bone spikes appearing more formidable, embodying the essence of a Golden Dragon.

Soon, he retracted his ability, glanced up at the sky, which had already darkened. Not returning soon would surely cause some incidents. With his things packed, Tang Zhong was ready to head back to the Galactic Guard. The priority now was to strengthen the Giant Dragon body and grow powerful, seizing the opportunity to survive in the cosmos!
