The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Han Wuxin went to have a discussion with their Family Patriarch and other Patriarchs while Lu Li returned to where he was living.

"Yu Huashen, Ming Yu, protect me."

Lu Li started studying that golden beast claw immediately. He wanted to consume it if possible. There was no time to lose in this. The earlier he could consume it, the better it was.

Yu Huashen guarded in the hall while Ming Yu stayed with Lu Li. Lu Li went into a room, closed the door and took out that golden claw from his Interspatial Ring.

The beast claw was huge. It had six fingers, each as big as a human"s forearm and strong. The nails on them were sharp and bright, like six swords. If the beast scratched on somebody, the person might be grounded into a puddle of goo.

The beast claw emitted qi and power. This was just a severed beast claw that had been stored for n.o.body knew how long. Then how powerful the beast was when it was alive? It must be beyond imagination.

"Squeak, squeak~"

Suddenly, Little White was alarmed. It dashed out from Lu Li"s sleeve. When it looked at the beast claw, it became fearful. Little White went to a corner, afraid to get close.

Lu Li threw Little White a glance, then he looked at the beast claw, not knowing what to do. His blood had begun to boil again and the silver dragon on his back glistened and moved as his eyes glowed in silver.

After a moment of thinking, he slowly poured Xuan Energy into the beast claw, trying to see if there was any reactions. Lu Li was disappointed. He poured Xuan Energy for the time for two incense sticks to burn but nothing happened.

He frowned. Lu Li took out a knife and cut at the beast claw. With some sparkles, the knife slid over without leaving any marks on the beast claw.

"Young Master!"

Ming Yu said, "Powerful Xuan Beasts usually have very strong body. There are three drops of blood in this claw. If the claw could be broken, then someone must have taken the blood out. I think only powerful warriors can break it with Profound Meaning."

Lu Li nodded. Then he suddenly looked at Little White and asked, "Little White, can you bit it open?"

Little White shook its head. It might not have the ability or it was too sacred. Lu Li turned back. He had to count on himself.

Blood was tumbling more violently as if it was going to burst out of his blood vessels. Lu Li suddenly had an idea. He cut at his finger with the knife.

"Pooh, pooh~"

Several drops of blood dropped in the beast claw which suddenly had white smoke rising from it. Then the entire beast claw melted in a speed visible to the naked eye and sizzled. At the same time, a surge of qi and energy came from the beast claw so powerful that even Ming Yu felt his soul was shaking.

"Young Master, look out!"

Ming Yu was frightened. He reached out, trying to throw the beast claw away. Lu Li shouted, "Don"t move!"

Lu Li wanted to throw it away at first as well, but then he noticed that the beast claw transformed into strands of energy and merged into his right hand.

He noticed that the silver dragon on his back was getting more excited. He could not throw away the beast claw now. He looked at the claw and then shouted to Ming Yu, "Later on, no matter what happens, don"t touch me. If there is anything wrong with my body, just contain me with Force. Relax… I will be fine. The beast claw is going to be very helpful to me."

With that said, Lu Li sat down with his legs crossed and tried to

concentrate on that energy going into his arm. The beast claw was melting faster and faster with strands of golden energy surging into Lu Li"s right arm.

"Buzzing~"

Three rays of blood-red light lit up. It was the three drops of blood that rushed into Lu Li"s right hand in a fast speed.

"Ah--"

Lu Li cried in pain. If he were not in a room with doors closed, his cries would alarm others in nearby fortresses. Seeing that Ming Yu was getting scared and was rus.h.i.+ng towards him, Lu Li said against the pain, "Force, now!"

Ming Yu hesitated but in the end he decided to do as Lu Li said. He released Force to contain Lu Li.

Yu Huashen had rushed out from the outside. Seeing that Lu Li had collapsed to the ground and in pain, he shouted, "Young Master, are you okay?"

Lu Li was still holding the beast claw, more than half of which had already melted and the other half was being consumed quickly. Lu Li"s right hand was now in a blood red color as if it was going to burst into flames. His sleeve was torn up and blood vessels became so obvious that it was hideous.

Ming Yu lessened his Force. Lu Li could move about again. He looked at Ming Yu with his blood red eyes and said, "Who let you in? Get out!"

Yu Huashen chickened and went out. Lu Li turned to Ming Yu who had to release Force again.

"Ah—"

Lu Li was in so much pain that he cried in misery. However, because of the Force, he couldn"t even shout in a loud voice. He was suffering a lot. It was a feeling that could not even be described with words. If he was not contained by Ming Yu"s Force, he would have the urge to cut off his right hand.

Back at the Tomb of the Dragon King, when he consumed that drop of blood, he felt that every piece of his muscle and bone and skin were burning up.

Now, there were three drops of blood in him and all of them were inside his right hand. He must be in a h.e.l.l of pain. He felt like his right hand has been bitten on by tens of thousands of bugs. Every piece of muscle, bone and skin were in pain.

Lu Li had endured the three days and nights of h.e.l.lish suffering at the Wicked Sorcery Mountain. He could deal with the pain now with great efforts. He forced himself not to pa.s.s out. He had to know what was going on with his arm so that he could cut off his own arm in case this beast claw and three drops of blood were not beneficial to him.

The beast claw vanished. It had all turned into golden energy and surged into Lu Li"s arm. There was one thing that was peculiar—those golden energy and the three drops of blood didn"t go into his body. They stayed in his right arm. He felt his right arm was burning up but there was nothing going on to the rest of his body.

Time pa.s.sed on. Lu Li had suffered so much that he couldn"t even shout anymore. The painful sensation had been going on for one hour now but there was no sign of it vanis.h.i.+ng.

Ming Yu was filled with apprehension. Looking at the Young Master that was crawling on the ground and yelling, he became admirable of Lu Li. Any other average guys must have pa.s.sed out by now.

After the time for another three incense sticks to burn, the burning and tearing pain in his arm lessened. Lu Li closed his eyes feebly and panted.

"Is it over now?"

Ming Yu reduced his Force and used his psychic power to probe into what was going on with Lu Li"s arm.

The next second!

Ming Yu"s pupils contracted. Lu Li"s arm started to mutate. There were scales on his skin. Every piece was similar to that on the beast claw, but the ones on Lu Li"s arm was silver instead.

What was more surprising to Ming Yu was that Lu Li"s forearm was becoming larger. His fingers were lengthening and his nails were growing as well. There were even hooks on his nails now, hooks that had a metallic and cold feeling, just like swords.

"What..."

When Lu Li"s arm had finished its mutation, Ming Yu gasped. Half of Lu Li"s arm became a beast claw, a silver beast claw!
