Chapter 248: Those who survive a great calamity are sure to be blessed with good fortune!
The moment that dark, deep-colored scale, flowing with a dark golden luster, pressed tightly against Tang Chuan's chest, a sudden change occurred!
The scales seemed to come alive, with countless fine black threads spreading from their edges, rapidly spreading along Tang Chuan's meridians and blood vessels, reaching his limbs and bones.
In the blink of an eye, a faint black dragon-patterned network formed beneath Tang Chuan's skin, enveloping his entire body.
The moment the reverse scale completely connected with Tang Chuan's body.
"Hmm..."
Emperor Tian, who was suspended in mid-air, suddenly shuddered and let out a suppressed groan.
At this moment, a trace of bright red blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
The insidious corrosive power of the Eternal Creation.
It was actually transferred to Di Tian's body instantly through the connection of the reverse scale.
However, this was enough to kill Tang Chuan and cause the Crimson King to take the matter very seriously.
For Di Tian, whose strength had already reached the level of a demigod.
It was merely like being pricked by a tiny poisonous needle, causing his blood and qi to churn slightly, resulting in a minor, insignificant injury.
The trace of blood at the corner of Di Tian's mouth was mostly due to the sudden surge of power.
His previous hesitation was not out of reluctance to bear this insignificant harm for Tang Chuan.
The real reason lies in that very rebellious scale itself!
The reverse scale is the essence of a dragon's power; each dragon possesses only one in its lifetime!
It is not only the strongest shield of the dragon race, but also contains a mysterious connection. Through this reverse scale, Di Tian can clearly sense the wearer's emotional fluctuations, life state, and soul aura, and even, at critical moments, can transcend space and teleport directly to the wearer's side!
It is the strongest talisman, providing protection in times of danger.
At the same time, it is also an invisible surveillance camera, keeping track of everything the other party does at all times.
By giving the reverse scale to a human, Di Tian signifies a deep bond with that human, and also means that he places Tang Chuan under his absolute control and observation.
This connection is too complex, and the causes and risks involved are difficult to predict.
If Xiao Ruier hadn't been so desperate as to offer herself as a sacrifice, touching the most inviolable bottom line in Di Tian's heart, and if Tang Chuan hadn't truly been a worthwhile investment with boundless potential... he would never have resorted to this last resort, bestowing this rebellious scale containing his own essence upon a human.
At this moment, the reverse scale has been given, and the cause and effect have been established.
Slowly raising his hand, Di Tian wiped the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. His golden dragon eyes gazed intently at the unconscious Tang Chuan, and he said calmly:
"Human boy... live on. Your fate is different now."
As the Reverse Scale transferred all the ever-spreading wounds of the Eternal Wound to Di Tian, the life force within Tang Chuan, which was on the verge of collapse, was finally brought under control.
And it began to slowly recover under the nourishment of the vast power of the dragon race's origin.
His face, which had been as pale as paper and lifeless, was now rapidly regaining its color at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although he was still unconscious, the rise and fall of his chest began to become steady and powerful, and his breathing became even and long, as if he had just fallen into a deep sleep.
"That's great...that's great!"
Xiao Ruier stared intently at Tang Chuan's face. Seeing that his breathing had stabilized, her heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled down, and a relieved and delighted smile bloomed on her beautiful face.
She quickly turned to Di Tian, who had already transformed into human form, and said with tears of gratitude:
"Uncle Di Tian, thank you! Thank you so much!"
At this moment, Di Tian had transformed into a middle-aged man dressed in black robes with a cold and dignified face, though his complexion seemed slightly paler than usual.
"No need to thank me. Take good care of him here. He has suffered excessive damage this time, and both his soul and body need time to repair. It will take at least another month before he awakens."
With a gentle wave of his hand, Di Tian interrupted Xiao Ruier's gratitude, glanced deeply at Tang Chuan, and said in a calm yet undeniable tone:
"I have some things to take care of, so I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, Di Tian did not linger. He turned around and, as if merging into the water, silently drifted towards the center of the Lake of Life, which was filled with a rich life force.
Soon, it disappeared into the hazy mist.
Only Xiao Ruier and the sleeping Tang Chuan remained by the lake.
Looking at Tang Chuan's peaceful sleeping face, which had regained its color but still had its eyes tightly closed, Xiao Ruier was slightly taken aback, and a complex and incomprehensible feeling of heartache and tenderness flashed in her eyes.
She seemed to have made up her mind. After a moment of silence, she slowly opened her fair palm, and suddenly, a golden light flashed!
A rare and precious celestial plant quietly appeared in Xiao Ruier's palm. Its petals were as white as jade, and its stamens were as red as fire. It was surrounded by a faint sadness and deep affection. It was the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red!
This magical herb is a testament to and a vessel for the purest and truest emotions in her heart.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Ruier stretched out her slender fingers and carefully plucked a small portion from the pure white petals.
Immediately afterwards, she put the petal, which contained immense life energy and profound emotion, into her mouth, gently bit it, and instantly, a warm and powerful current melted in her mouth.
The next second, she leaned down, her beautiful face slowly approaching Tang Chuan, and then gently pressed her lips to Tang Chuan's slightly dry lips.
Through this intimate contact.
Xiao Ruier transferred the melted power of the Love-Severing Heartbreak Red Medicine in her mouth, mixed with her own pure soul power and the deep feelings hidden in her heart, into Tang Chuan's body.
The power of the Acacia Heartbreak Red, like the gentlest spring rain, began to nourish Tang Chuan's parched meridians, soothe his wounded soul, and accelerate his physical recovery.
After doing all this, Xiao Ruier slowly raised her head, a faint scent of medicine and Tang Chuan's aroma still lingering on her lips. She sat quietly beside Tang Chuan, holding his gradually warming hand, her golden eyes gazing at him tenderly, as if she wanted to protect him like this forever, until he woke up.
Time flows quietly beside the lake of life.
Under the combined effects of Emperor Tian's Reverse Scale stabilizing the injury, the continuous nourishment from the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red's potent medicinal power, and the vast life energy of the Lake of Life.
Tang Chuan's physical condition is improving at an astonishing rate.
It has even undergone a deeper transformation.
His body was no longer content with passively absorbing energy; it seemed to have become a bottomless pit, autonomously and greedily devouring all the energy around it.
Gradually, Tang Chuan's body involuntarily and slowly floated up, three feet off the ground, quietly hovering in mid-air.
At this moment, his body was radiating a soft white light and a vibrant green glow. The two colors of light intertwined and flowed, forming a magnificent energy cocoon that enveloped him.
Even more peculiar are the lush blue silver grasses surrounding the lake.
As if summoned from the depths of the universe, the grass blades unfurled, emitting faint blue light, like countless fireflies, converging into tiny streams of life, voluntarily surging towards the suspended Tang Chuan, willingly offering their meager life force.
They seem to be worshipping their emperor.
Even if the contribution is insignificant, we will do it without hesitation.
The life force contained in the Lake of Life is as vast as the sea.
Under Tang Chuan's unconscious and frantic absorption, a visible green energy vortex was formed, frantically pouring into him from the center!
Outside, there is the boundless vitality of the Lake of Life and the Blue Silver Grass; inside, there is the medicinal power of the rare and precious Acacia Heartbreak Red. The two forces work together to cleanse and nourish Tang Chuan's meridians, bones, internal organs, and even his soul!
Under such an extravagant infusion of energy, Tang Chuan's soul power, which had stagnated or even regressed due to his severe injuries, began to surge wildly at an unprecedented speed!
Level 64!
Level 65!
Level 66!
……
The bottleneck lies in the face of this tsunami-like energy.
Like a paper window, it was easily broken through one after another!
While he was unconscious, his soul power level soared from level 63 to level 70 at an astonishing speed!
It only took less than half a month!
At this moment, Tang Chuan, who was suspended in the energy cocoon, had not yet awakened, but the soul power fluctuations emanating from his body had already reached the threshold of Soul Saint, which was profound and powerful.
This near-death ordeal, through a series of extraordinary opportunities, turned into a huge stepping stone for his leap in strength, proving that those who survive a great calamity are bound to have good fortune in the future!
