To inherit the legacy, to share the true bloodline

"Candle Dragon, your power will become a key link in my plan..."

"Perhaps this is my own selfishness, but regardless, even without the (censored) matter, I was destined to take your life."

"All of this was destined long ago."

The moment he accepted the Candle Dragon Time Legacy, Su Ming felt as if he had crossed through time, returning to the era of the Chaos Dao Lord.

He stood right beside the other man, listening to him utter those words.

From the very beginning, the Chaos Dao Lord had intended to kill the Candle Dragon and seize its power.

Cooperating with the mysterious person merely provided the Chaos Dao Lord with a convenient excuse.

But Su Ming still didn't understand; clearly, the Chaos Dao Lord was after the Candle Dragon's power, so why did he leave the Candle Dragon's Legacy behind?

Wouldn't it have been better to keep such a thing in his own hands?

Before Su Ming could think further, he saw the phantom representing the Chaos Dao Lord before him seem to turn its gaze toward him.

"You've come? Just in time..."

The Chaos Dao Lord extended a finger and tapped lightly toward the space in front of him.

"He can see me!?" An absurd thought surfaced in Su Ming's mind.

At that moment, Su Ming suddenly realized he hadn't returned to that era at all, and the contents of the Candle Dragon Time Legacy in his mind became increasingly clear.

To Su Ming's disappointment, however, the Divine Abilities of this Legacy required a candle dragon bloodline to be used.

As a member of the Human Race, he could only utilize a very small portion of it.

In other words, rather than giving this Legacy to him, it would be better suited for Shen Ming.

To Su Ming's surprise, however, within this Legacy, there was actually a Legacy regarding the Chaos Dao Lord as well.

Then again, since this Legacy was left by the Chaos Dao Lord, it was perfectly understandable for him to tuck his own Legacy inside.

If someone else had obtained this Legacy, they likely wouldn't have triggered this hidden Legacy left by the Chaos Dao Lord.

This Legacy concerned further development techniques for the Supreme Chaos Body, named: 'Chaos Impermanence'.

Once learned, the holder of the Supreme Chaos Body could simulate Bloodlines by ingesting the true blood of certain races.

This meant that after Su Ming learned this ability, as long as he possessed a single drop of candle dragon true blood, he could use the Supreme Chaos Body to simulate it, thereby gaining the candle dragon bloodline and using the candle dragon's Divine Abilities!

"Hiss... I didn't expect the Chaos Dao Lord to have developed the Supreme Chaos Body to such an extent."

Amidst his awe, Su Ming immediately began attempting to Cultivate 'Chaos Impermanence'.

However, the difficulty involved was indeed extraordinary.

"It's not suitable to continue Cultivating inside the Secret Realm for now. I'll wait until I leave this place. As for the candle dragon true blood..."

The prerequisite for 'Chaos Impermanence' to simulate another Bloodline was the possession of that race's true blood.

Currently, the only candle dragon true blood available might be the single drop inside Shen Ming's body.

But Su Ming couldn't be sure if using the drop inside Shen Ming as a blueprint would result in simulating a candle dragon or a Reincarnation Dragon Centipede.

"Since the candle dragon fell here and this Secret Realm was forged by the Chaos Dao Lord using its flesh and blood, there must be undiscovered candle dragon true blood within the Secret Realm..."

Just as Su Ming was planning to leave and search for candle dragon true blood, a ripple suddenly appeared in the surrounding space, followed by a cluster of crimson crystalline gems falling to the ground.

"Master! These are all candle dragon true blood!"

Hearing Shen Ming's excited tone, Su Ming quickly gathered the crystals from the ground into his hand.

Upon contact, he immediately felt the terrifying energy contained within.

"Did the Chaos Dao Lord hide all the true blood, only for it to appear once the successor showed up?"

As Su Ming speculated, the candle dragon true blood in his hand suddenly split into several pieces.

"Oh? This makes it convenient for me to divide the spoils."

Su Ming picked up one of the larger pieces and tossed it directly to Shen Ming.

"This one is yours."

Shen Ming didn't stand on ceremony with Su Ming, swallowing all that candle dragon true blood in a single gulp.

"These are for Grandfather and the others, and this piece is for Brother Zhao..."

Su Ming carefully planned who should receive the candle dragon true blood, then stepped in front of Shen Ming and tapped a finger on its forehead.

He then shared the contents of the Candle Dragon Time Legacy with Shen Ming.

"Thank you, Master!" Shen Ming slowly lowered its head, knowing full well what these Divine Abilities signified.

"They were more suitable for you anyway. Besides, since this Divine Ability Legacy fell into my hands, I can give it to whoever I want."

Any other power would have guarded this Legacy of Divine Abilities with their lives; it was impossible they would share it so generously.

"Let's go. The most important things here are already in our hands. It's time to go back and see how Brother Zhao's Cultivation is progressing."

When Su Ming returned to that candle dragon blood pool, Zhao Zhiming was still Cultivating inside.

Even after so much time had passed, the candle dragon blood within remained at its original level.

"Young Master Su, the Young Master is still Cultivating and it is not convenient for him to speak with you. If there is anything, just let me know."

Xiuer immediately approached Shen Ming and looked up at Su Ming.

Su Ming leaped down, landed beside Xiuer, and said, "Since Brother Zhao is still Cultivating, I won't disturb him. I plan to leave the Candle Dragon Secret Realm now. Please pass this to Brother Zhao for me."

Su Ming handed the allocated candle dragon true blood crystal to Xiuer.

The moment she took it, a look of shock appeared on Xiuer's face.

"This... could this be... candle dragon true blood?"

"Miss Xiuer has a good eye. Please pass this to Brother Zhao; after all, this is what we agreed upon beforehand."

Xiuer gripped the candle dragon true blood crystal tightly. She hadn't expected Su Ming to actually share the candle dragon true blood with Zhao Zhiming.

For a treasure of this magnitude, Xiuer would have considered it only natural for him to keep it all for himself.

"I thank Young Master Su on behalf of the Young Master..."

As Xiuer spoke, she was about to kneel, but Su Ming stopped her in time.

"This was something Brother Zhao and I agreed upon, there's no need for thanks. If anything, I've gained the bigger advantage here."

Now possessing the Candle Dragon Legacy, Su Ming had already mastered the use of the 'pupil of the candle'.

Once activated, this Magic Treasure would fire a beam of light from the eye position. Wherever the light passed, time for all things would be stopped.

Since it was a Limitless Realm Magic Treasure, even someone at the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm like Qian Youcai would be forced to a halt.

The only problem was that the consumption of the 'pupil of the candle' was far too immense.

If Su Ming hadn't Cultivated the Heavenly Stars Diagram of the Cosmos and used it to house all the stars, he probably wouldn't even be able to activate it now.

After handing the candle dragon true blood to Xiuer, Su Ming left with Shen Ming.

Before leaving, Su Ming promised Xiuer that he would leave markers along the way. Xiuer and Zhao Zhiming would only need to follow the markers to avoid the areas with chaotic time.

"Master, the Young Master has finally made a reliable friend..."
