“Boss!”
As the water pillar descended, everyone once again saw Billy on the stone platform. At this moment, his whole body was blood-red, looking exceptionally terrifying, with his eyes still tightly closed. A faint dragon-shaped phantom wandered around him, surrounded by thunderous lightning. Simultaneously, the bloodline marks on his forehead and chest and back were slowly swirling like living creatures.
“Vermilion Bird, is there a dragon coiling around boss?” Black Tortoise rubbed his eyes and asked.
“Indeed.” Vermilion Bird nodded in response.
“What’s going on?” Soul Chaser also exclaimed in surprise, “Why does it seem like boss hasn’t woken up yet?”
No one could answer this question because Casey and the others were equally puzzled.
“The divine dragon appears, the holy son awakens, may the heavens bless us, the Ravenwoods!” Just then, beside the water pool, Elder Wood and the others excitedly shouted.
Just then, the divine dragon shot up at an astonishing speed, causing a surge of wind and clouds in the void, accompanied by a violent howling. After soaring hundreds of meters into the sky, the divine dragon let out a resounding roar, echoing through the heavens like a living creature. Then, it swiftly descended and disappeared into the bloodline mark on Billy’s chest.
“Mm…” Billy frowned and let out a muffled groan.
Immediately after, the scene fell into silence, even the water in the Bloodline Pool calmed down.
“What’s happening?” Soul Chaser looked in Billy’s direction, puzzled.
“Not sure!” Stout replied.
“Mm…” After a while, Billy let out another groan. At the same time, his blood vessels rapidly expanded at a visible speed, blue veins popping up on his forehead, and a look of extreme pain appeared between his brows. In addition, his aura became unusually chaotic, fluctuating between strong and weak, bright and dim.
“Billy!” Harleen looked worried and quickly walked up to Elder Wood, asking, “What’s happening to him?”
“If I guessed correctly, it should be because the bloodline power is too strong, and the Holy Son is having difficulty digesting it all at once.” Elder Wood pondered.
“What should we do then?” Ivy and the others also approached.
“He needs someone from outside to lend him a hand!” Elder Wood replied.
Whoosh!
Just as his words fell, two figures flew over from not far away, appearing in the air above the water pool in the blink of an eye.
The two were Shepherd Ravenwood and Emperor Greenleaf.
“Your Majesty, let’s join forces to help the Holy Son get through this tribulation!” Shepherd Ravenwood said as a surge of true energy swept out from his hand.
“Alright!” Emperor Greenleaf had no hesitation and also raised his hand, sending out a powerful and vigorous true energy.
Then, Billy floated in mid-air, while streams of true energy poured into his body. At this moment, his complexion kept changing, the look of pain between his brows coming and going, and his aura became extremely unstable.
Harleen and the others watched this scene, their hearts clenching in worry. Fortunately, the whole process lasted for about ten minutes before coming to a stop. After Shepherd Ravenwood and Emperor Greenleaf converged their momentum, Billy landed back on the stone platform.
Boom!
Suddenly, Billy opened his eyes, and they were also blood-red, when an overwhelming aura exploded from his body. The five stone pillars around him instantly turned to dust, and the entire water pool once again surged, like a divine dragon playing in the water, with a shocking momentum.
“What the hell!” Sensing this aura, Bob swallowed and looked at Casey, “Casey, can you sense what level of cultivation boss is at now?”
“The Investigation Failed!” Casey added with a thoughtful tone, “At least, it is the eighth rank or above!”
“Ah? Only the eighth rank? I thought you would directly step into the realm of Saints!” Judge smacked his lips and replied.
The conversation between the two returned the Bloodline Pool to its calm state. Billy gradually regained his normal state, his spirit much stronger than three days ago, as if he had undergone a rebirth.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Billy stood up and bowed towards the emperor.
Emperor Greenleaf burst into laughter, “Not bad, you have not disappointed the Ravenwood family with this small pool of blood!”
The Ravenwood clan members choked.
The pool almost depleted the Ravenwood clan’s treasury!
“Oh, Billy, you should also thank Shepherd!” Emperor Greenleaf laughed again and pointed at Shepherd Ravenwood.
“Thank you, sir!” Billy turned to Shepherd and bowed, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. He knew that the person in front of him was most likely his grandfather. However, until he found his mother, it was unlikely that he could acknowledge the other party. Moreover, he was not sure about the Ravenwoods’ stance towards the capital.
As the Young Master of Ether Mountain, Billy’s remaining life would be dedicated to the rise of Glavale, and anyone who opposed the capital, no matter who they were, would become his target to eliminate. So, he couldn’t just acknowledge his family casually. Of course, this didn’t prevent him from expressing his gratitude.
Shepherd also laughed heartily and said, “Lord Dragon, no need to be polite, it’s just a small matter!” As he spoke, a complex expression appeared in his eyes. His own grandson was standing in front of him, yet he couldn’t recognize him. The feeling was not pleasant. However, a trace of relief appeared on his face as well. Having such an outstanding grandson was enough to make him proud for a lifetime.
“Congratulations on the awakening of the Golden Bloodline, the Holy Son!” Elder Wood and the others all knelt towards Billy.
“Congratulations, the Holy Son!” The members of the Ravenwood family who had just arrived also knelt.
“Please rise! I am not your Holy Son, call me Lord Dragon please.” Billy raised his hand and walked out of the Bloodline Pool.
“Billy, are you alright?” When Billy reached the shore, Harleen hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Casey, Ivy, and others also gathered around.
“I’m fine.” Billy smiled at Harleen and asked, “How many days have I been inside?”
“Three days and three nights!” Harleen responded.
“So long?” Billy was taken aback. He didn’t expect to have stayed inside for such a long time.
“Did anything happen in these three days?” After a brief pause, Billy continued to ask.
“Boss, the young master of the Ravenwood family almost injured Ms Knight, he…” Before Harleen could respond, Stout interrupted.
“Stout!” Harleen stopped him.
Billy frowned slightly and looked at Harleen, “What happened?”
“It’s nothing, just a minor matter!” Harleen shook her head and replied, “Besides, it’s already in the past, so don’t worry about it, husband!” She obviously didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble for Billy. The Ravenwood family was not an ordinary family, after all. Moreover, they had a certain degree of kinship.
“Casey, you tell me, what exactly happened?” asked Billy seriously.
“Ms Knight, this is something boss will know sooner or later, it doesn’t matter if I tell him now!” Casey first looked at Harleen and then briefly described what had happened three days ago to Billy.
“He’s quite something!” Billy squinted his eyes, a coldness emanating from him.
