Chapter 54 What he taught her: No destruction, no construction.
Long Yingxue wasn't stupid; she finally understood Cheng Xiao's scheme.
It turns out he never gave up on helping her get revenge.
"Fool!" Long Yingxue cried unrestrainedly in the deserted underground palace.
He was younger than her, still just a child, yet he silently endured everything for her, all for her somewhat absurd wish.
After all these years, she still can't do anything.
"You clearly said our relationship was a transaction of interests, you were so cruel to me, so why did you leave me the only hope of survival in the end? What right do you have to make decisions for me! What right do you have to leave me all alone in this world!"
Long Yingxue felt as if her heart had been emptied out.
Although Cheng Xiao was not in mortal danger, she couldn't even imagine how that monster Ao Shuang would torture him.
Just thinking about these things makes her want to rush back immediately.
But Long Yingxue understood that she had no ability to fight back.
Her current strength is only at the Nascent Soul stage. Even if she goes back, she will only be throwing her life away. Not only will she not be able to save Cheng Xiao, but she will also betray the opportunity that he risked his life for.
This Dragon King's legacy is her only hope.
She wiped away her tears and walked towards the altar directly in front of the underground palace.
As she approached the altar, the voice in her consciousness rang out again.
"Your dragon tendons are lost and reconstructed with foreign objects, resulting in impure qi and blood. If you were to forcibly fuse them with your current broken body, you would face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death, with your physical body and soul in danger of being reduced to ashes! Retreat and wait until you have repaired your origins before returning here."
The will passed down through generations is warning her.
Even though Long Yingxue has integrated the true dragon's intent, the tendons within her body are still not true dragon tendons.
But after hearing that warning, she had no intention of backing down.
If she couldn't save Cheng Xiao, she might as well just die.
Perhaps this body sensed that she was about to die.
Long Yingxue discovered that a time machine was flashing through her mind.
She had heard that when someone is about to die, they will recall everything that happened in their life.
Long Yingxue recalled the first time she met Cheng Xiao.
At that time, she was lying on the ground like a limp rag, barely clinging to life, and Cheng Xiao was in a similar situation; the two shared the same fate.
She had completely given up hope of living, but he pulled her forward little by little.
It was called torture, but in reality, it was all about making her stronger.
Long Yingxue realized that she had always wanted to be Cheng Xiao's mother and take care of him forever, but upon closer reflection, it was Cheng Xiao who had always been pulling her forward.
"If I can't save him, I'd rather die." Her clear, childlike voice was filled with determination.
She will not give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope.
Long Yingxue finally reached the edge of the altar.
Without further hesitation, she transformed into a dragon and swallowed the essence blood in one gulp.
The moment the golden blood entered her mouth, a massive energy exploded within her body!
Along the way, Cheng Xiao had used countless methods to torment and temper her, but none of those pains could compare to even a fraction of what she was experiencing now.
The essence and blood seemed to be crushing and reassembling every inch of her meridians and every bone, and it also seemed to be roasting her over a fire.
Her screams filled the underground palace.
Even though she was mentally prepared, Long Yingxue was still in so much pain that she almost fainted.
Her body was instantly swollen by the golden energy, and her originally silvery-white scales cracked, making her body look like it was about to explode at any moment.
Long Yingxue realized once again that Cheng Xiao was far-sighted.
When exactly did he learn about the Dragon King's inheritance?
Perhaps they knew from the beginning.
It was precisely because of his training that she is not about to explode and die immediately.
She miraculously persevered!
If Long Yingxue were still at her peak, she might actually be able to integrate the Dragon King's legacy into her body.
But she has a fatal conflict within her.
That "dragon tendon" wasn't hers at all; it was an artificial object that Cheng Xiao had created for her and later incorporated the essence of a true dragon.
The Dragon King's legacy rejects any alternatives that are filled with impurities.
The golden energy transformed into countless dragons, frantically tearing at the snake tendon, attempting to completely obliterate it!
But the snake tendon had already grown into Long Yingxue's bone marrow. The pain of the snake tendon being torn apart was equivalent to having her spine smashed a hundred times!
Long Yingxue coughed up a mouthful of blood, her massive body crashing directly onto the altar.
Her consciousness began to fade, and everything around her became so unreal.
It hurts too much.
It really hurts.
It was a thousand times, ten thousand times more painful than when Ao Shuang had his dragon tendons pulled out alive.
"Give up..."
"The pain will go away once I fall asleep..."
It was as if countless voices were bewitching her to give up resisting.
Simply closing your eyes will end this endless torment.
But just as she was about to close her eyes, she felt a strong fluctuation coming from the master-servant blood pact deep within her bloodline.
That was Cheng Xiao's life force!
He's still struggling to hold on!
That arrogant and cold-blooded boy is now enduring inhuman torture for her sake!
"I can't sleep! He's still waiting for me!" Long Yingxue suddenly opened her eyes.
She recalled Cheng Xiao's words: "No destruction, no construction."
In her final moments, facing life and death, she made an extremely crazy decision.
Spiritual energy gathered around her, forming claws in the void. Then, she gritted her teeth and forcefully pulled the snake tendon out of her body!
The second cramp almost made her faint on the spot.
But she persevered.
We have to thank Ao Shuang for this, as she helped her get used to it in advance.
She threw the blood-stained snake tendon directly to the ground, and Long Yingxue's dragon body instantly went limp, just like that day in the Spirit Beast Garden.
She was completely unable to move; only her willpower remained, struggling to hold on.
Outside, the snow fell and stopped, stopped and fell again.
The blizzards on the snow-capped mountains seem to never stop.
One day, two days, ten days, a month...
Long Yingxue was no longer in the underground palace; only a huge cocoon remained.
The golden cocoon hovered directly above the altar, emitting a constant pulsating sound.
With each pulse, the surrounding spiritual energy surges in frantically.
A brand new body is being conceived within it.
After an unknown amount of time, cracks began to appear on the golden cocoon, from which white light emanated.
The next second, the golden cocoon burst open!
An immense pressure surged into the sky, as if to suppress everything, and the entire snow-capped mountain trembled in response.
Faced with this overwhelming pressure, the underground palace collapsed instantly!
The millennia-old ice layer was even broken open!
"Roar!" A dragon's roar resounded through the heavens.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying silver-white dragon, over three thousand feet long and blotting out the sky, soared into the heavens from the ruins of the collapsed glacier!
Her body was more than ten times larger than before, and her entire body was covered with gorgeous scales with silver base and dark gold patterns.
The Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage!
Long Yingxue crossed the huge gap between the Nascent Soul stage and the Deity Transformation stage, and even skipped the entire Deity Transformation stage!
Inside her body, new dragon tendons grew, her own dragon tendons.
The dragon tendon finally merged completely with the true dragon intent within her body.
The dragon circled once in the sea of clouds, feeling the terrifying power within its body that it had never experienced before, but there was no joy in its golden eyes after the breakthrough.
With a flash of light, the enormous dragon body shrank instantly, transforming into a human form.
Long Yingxue drifted in the wind and snow. She was still that lovely little girl who looked only about ten years old, but her temperament was completely different from before.
She wore a long golden dress formed from her own dragon energy, and her long, silvery-white hair reached her ankles, with a dark golden luster flowing through the strands.
The pair of crystal-clear dragon horns on its head became even longer and sharper, with faint dark gold patterns inside.
Long Yingxue raised her snow-white hand and gently pressed it against her heart.
The blood pact connection still exists, but it has become extremely weak.
Like a candle flickering in the wind, it could be extinguished at any moment.
"Cheng Xiao, I did it."
