Chapter 0916: Dragon's Blood Judgment

Clouds and mist gathered above the stone platform.

Li Luo and Li Qingfeng stood facing each other.

Many people watched the stage with their breaths held. The conclusion for this generation's Battle of the Dragon's Head would be decided with this battle.

Over where the members of the Dragon's Blood Lineage and the Dragon's Fang Lineage were, the atmosphere was extremely lively. Thousands of banner members were screaming their lungs out, cheering for their respective Banner Leader.

After all, the Dragon's Head represented the leader among the Twenty Banners. It represented who would hold the helm in their generation. Although it did not hold much authority, it was a really glamorous position.

One's name would be renowned throughout the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent after rising to this position. No one would dare to take that person lightly anymore.

Similarly, the lineage he came from would be treated and groomed as the main pillar of the bloodline. They would have a bright future ahead.

At this moment, the three Banner Leaders of the Dragon's Blood Lineage had gathered. As Li Hongli stared at the stage, she gritted her teeth and said with bated breaths, "It's finally time for this match. As long as Brother Qingfeng defeats that country bumpkin, they will not dare to remain haughty anymore. There were too many variables interfering with the result during the Dragon's Ascent, so it can't be counted. Only the victor in a real battle can be considered the Dragon's Head of the Twenty Banners!"

The other two Banner Leaders nodded in agreement. "That position will surely belong to the Dragon's Blood Lineage!" they responded.

During the Dragon's Ascent earlier, Li Luo's victory had been a big blow to their morale. After all, the Dragon's Blood Lineage was the Mountain Ruling Lineage of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, so their status was usually the highest and most prestigious. As members of the Dragon's Blood Lineage, they had always been very proud of themselves. Besides, Li Qingfeng had always been the best in their generation with no close competitors, so they had regarded the position of the Dragon's Head as good as theirs.

Who would have expected a dark horse like Li Luo to emerge out of nowhere?

It was true that Li Luo had accumulated a lot of spectacular achievements before this. He had even gotten the Golden Dragon Pillar during the Dragonbreath Pool Battle. However, all of his previous accomplishments had only been made possible thanks to the assistance of Harmony. Perhaps even Li Fengyi and Li Jingtao had not expected Li Luo to come so far today in the Battle of the Dragon's Head.

This was a test of the individual's true strength after all.

Even with the Tri-Radiance Glass Body Tier, how could someone at the Fiend Body Tier possibly compete with an opponent at the Heavenly Pearl Tier like Li Qingfeng?

Nonetheless... things turned out completely different from what they had expected.

Li Luo had used the Dragon's Ascent to achieve another breakthrough. He had become a Fiend Finisher and narrowed the gap between Li Qingfeng and himself. Notwithstanding this, he had even defeated Lu Qingmei earlier.

At this moment, everyone had to recognize that Li Luo was truly a threat to Li Qingfeng.

This was something that Li Hongli understood too. As such, the upcoming battle was their only chance to turn things around. If Li Qingfeng could defeat Li Luo here, the Dragon's Fang Lineage would have to continue sitting obediently beneath the Dragon's Blood Lineage.

Their spirits would be crushed.

……

"I truly did not expect to have you as my final opponent," Li Qingfeng told Li Luo calmly under the gazes of thousands of spectators.

With a friendly smile, Li Luo replied earnestly, "I'm not really interested in the Dragon's Head, to be honest. If you are willing to hand the Nine Marks Sacred Heart Lotus to me, I will not fight you for it."

"My father needs that item. I am unable to hand it over to you," Li Qingfeng replied.

Li Luo sighed and responded, "Looks like there's no more room for discussion, then."

"There's never been room for discussion. I am taking this Dragon's Head no matter what. If you're not fighting for it, you can admit defeat now. Otherwise, I will not hold back," Li Qingfeng stated.

Hearing his sharp words, Li Luo simply smiled.

Seeing this, Li Qingfeng did not speak any further. A brilliant glow appeared behind him and started rotating at an extremely high speed. Soon, it transformed into a radiant, luminous Heavenly Pearl that started absorbing worldly natural energy.

His resonant power started rising steadily. It was clearly one notch above Lu Qingmei's pearl.

However, that was not all.

Li Qingfeng formed hand seals with both hands, then his skin started turning crimson. One could faintly see the fresh blood flowing under it.

In the end, the blood broke out of his body and condensed rapidly beside his Heavenly Pearl, where a blood-red glow was formed.

In the next moment, the red glow started rotating at a very high speed as well, absorbing the worldly natural energy from the surroundings. It looked like a second Heavenly Pearl!

Thanks to it, Li Qingfeng’s resonant power spiked once again, and a terrifying presence swept across the battlefield.

His strength wasn’t at all inferior to that of a two-pearl Heavenly Pearl cultivator!

Witnessing this, Li Luo's expressions changed a little and his eyes narrowed. This was an extraordinary move from Li Qingfeng.

"This is the Dragon's Blood Art, a special art from the Dragon's Blood Lineage.

"We can use our blood to boost our battle powers. After putting a lot of effort into learning this Duke Art, I finally have something to show for it. I can now transform it into a blood pearl," Li Qingfeng slowly explained with a look of confidence on his face.

Cheers erupted from the spectators outside. Li Fengyi and Li Jingtao watched the match anxiously. They were not strangers to the Dragon's Blood Art from the Dragon's Blood Lineage. However, they did not know that Li Qingfeng could get a Heavenly Pearl from it. This was leagues above Li Hongli and the rest.

As soon as Li Qingfeng finished his explanation, he shot forward like an explosion. With the blood light rotating, he had received a monstrous speed boost.

He appeared right in front of Li Luo in the blink of an eye and threw an ordinary punch.

Bang!

Although it seemed like an ordinary punch, the air exploded due to how powerful Li Qingfeng was with his two pearls. Signs of vibrations could be seen as the air trembled under the tremendous pressure.

"Thunderpeal Avatar, Three-Sonic Pulse!

"Divine Elephant Power, Level Three!"

The dual resonance power within Li Luo surged up as he activated both skills without any hesitation. He summoned up all his strength and threw back a punch in return.

When their fists met, a deafening roar shook the battlefield and the stone platform beneath them cracked like a turtle shell.

Li Qingfeng wavered a little as a result. On the other hand, Li Luo felt an immense wave of force sweeping him back and was forced back dozens of steps.

The banner members of the Dragon's Blood Lineage cheered when they witnessed this scene.

It seemed like Li Qingfeng had a clear advantage in terms of raw strength after all.

When Li Luo stabilized himself again, his eyes turned serious. The previous punch had shown him how strong Li Qingfeng was. His resonant power truly matched that of a real two-pearl cultivator. This was all because of the blood-red Heavenly Pearl.

In fact, stimulating the blood in one's body to get a boost in battle strength was the signature move of the Dragon's Blood Lineage.

Li Qingfeng stood still on his spot with a calm look on his face. "Li Luo, you've already lost half the battle."

He raised his finger at this point, and a drop of fresh blood ran down his fingertip.

Li Luo frowned at this sight and then looked down at his own fist. During the previous clash, Li Qingfeng had gotten a drop of fresh blood from him.

"Li Luo, you may not be familiar with the Dragon's Blood Lineage’s battle style since you have just come from the outer divine continent."

After he placed one hand behind his back, Li Qingfeng slowly continued, "Do you know why the Dragon's Blood Lineage is the Mountain Ruling Lineage?"

At this moment, he smacked both his palms together. Li Luo's blood was splattered in the middle of both palms, and strands of it started flowing out. This gradually formed a faint, blood-red rune.

"This is because the bloodline reigns supreme in a dragon's body."

When he finished speaking, the blood light swept across his palm and transformed into a blood-red weighing scale that was hundreds of feet tall.

Li Luo and Li Qingfeng were on each end.

Seeing this, Li Luo slashed out immediately. The blade light flew straight towards the scale. However, it did not come into contact with it. The blade light simply flew straight through the scale, as if it did not actually exist.

Li Qingfeng calmly continued, "This is the Dragon's Blood Judgment Art, the reason why the Dragon's Blood Lineage rules above all four other lineages. With a drop of blood from our opponent as a prerequisite, we can initiate the Dragon's Blood Judgment.

"The purpose of this scale is to measure the Heavenly Dragon's blood within our bodies. The one with purer blood will emerge victorious and the loser will lose half of his blood.

"This is a completely fair art, regardless of your cultivation level or true strength. It only takes your blood into account."

Hearing this, Li Luo stared at him in shock. There was such an eccentric art in the Dragon's Blood Lineage? Anyone would be at a disadvantage if they lost half of their blood just like that.

However, he had absolutely no idea how to defend against it. He could not destroy it either.

This art would not be effective when used by people from external branches, but it was very strong when used by members of the Dragon's Blood Lineage. After all, who could compete with them when it came down to the purity of one's Heavenly Dragon blood?

Most of the Duke Arts exclusive to the Dragon's Blood Lineage revolved around strengthening one’s blood.

This was why the people from the Dragon's Blood Lineage had an extremely huge advantage once they managed to pull this art off successfully. It was no wonder why he said this was the reason they could rule above the other four lineages.

While Li Luo pondered over this, Li Qingfeng had started casting his next art. In the next moment, a light hovered above the blood-red scale, and the mysterious art started moving.
