Chapter 949 - The Gap Between Shifters!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Blood-eye Dragon had finally agreed to be parasitized!
Merlin took a deep breath. This was the strongest force he had encountered since he entered this world. High-tier almighty beasts were extremely powerful, and they were the strongest besides the rare top-level almighty beast bloodlines.
There were some legendary sacred beast bloodlines above top-level bloodlines but they were only legends, and no one has heard of anyone possessing such a bloodline. The royal family’s Sacred Lion bloodline was not a sacred beast bloodline. It was influenced by the Sacred Lion bloodline and possessed a portion of the Sacred Lion beast’s power, so it could be regarded as a top-level bloodline.
It was precisely because of this top-level bloodline that the Holy Dragon royal family was able to build such a huge empire that had been passed on for hundreds of years.
“Alright, let’s get started.”
Merlin’s naked body looked thin but contained a powerful force. Although the Two-headed Pterolycus’ will was directly wiped out by Merlin, the increased physical quality he had obtained over a long period was not affected.
However, this mere physical quality could not compare with the physical quality after shapeshifting.
“Roar…”
When Merlin finished speaking, the Blood-eye Dragon gave a large roar in Merlin’s Awareness. It immediately turned into a crimson light, like a bloody meteor, and mercilessly blasted into Merlin’s Awareness.
“Boom.”
Merlin’s Awareness shook severely, going blank. As a high-tier almighty beast, the Blood-eye Dragon was extremely powerful. Although it had willingly integrated with Merlin, if Merlin’s Awareness could not suppress the Blood-eye Dragon, there would be an accident sooner or later.
The moment the Blood-eye Dragon had completely integrated into Merlin’s Awareness, Merlin immediately felt his entire body grow hot as if something was about to split apart. A powerful force in his body ran rampant.
“Ah…”
Even Merlin could not help but let out a groan.
“Crash.”
Following Merlin’s cry, his skin rapidly cracked like old bark. Fresh blood swiftly filled Merlin’s body, dying him in a red hue.
“Morph!”
Merlin growled. He knew that this was the first-form of shapeshifting. Therefore, he jumped into the murky Nourishment Pond without any hesitation.
“Bubble-bubble.”
In the Nourishment Pond, bubbles burst one by one and reappeared again, like boiling water. Moreover, Merlin’s fresh blood quickly seeped into the Nourishment Pond, turning it blood red and causing it to look like a pool of blood. It was extremely horrifying.
However, Merlin knew that the first-form was rapidly completing. As a high-tier almighty beast, the nourishment the Blood-eye Dragon needed even in the first-form was terrifying.
“Not enough. More!”
Merlin suddenly stood up. At this point, his hands had already half turned into thick, short legs. This was the Blood-eye Dragon first-form. However, the Nourishment Pond that Merlin prepared was not enough, so he needed to prepare a second Nourishment Pond.
Although he had not prepared it, he had all the materials beforehand, so the preparation became much simpler. It only took some time before the second Nourishment Pond was completed.
Merlin’s body began to rapidly absorb the nutrients in the Nourishment Pond, and his shapeshifting speed also increased. First, it was his hands that were turned into thick, short legs that contained a strong power.
Then, Merlin’s body swelled quickly until he was more than eight meters tall. He looked like a small hill. His form after shapeshifting was much more shocking than Count Stanwin’s Deinosuchus bloodline.
However, Merlin knew that this was nothing at all. If he had fully shifted into the Blood-eye Dragon, his body would be nearly a hundred meters in length and thirty meters in height. Merlin could be called a huge monster in that body. At that time, he would be able to easily destroy a small hill with one foot, and cities would be annihilated if he used his power casually.
This was the terrifying power of a high-tier almighty beast. Of course, he needed to be a full-shifter, and completely transform into the Blood-eye Dragon. Presently, Merlin was nowhere near becoming a full-shifter.
Currently, Merlin had only reached the first-form where his hands turned into short and stout legs. His feet did not seem to have sharp claws as he did for the Two-headed Pterolycus’ first-form.
The only advantage the first-form gave Merlin was unparalleled power! As a Vipera Dragon, it was naturally extremely powerful. Just the first-form already endowed Merlin with unimaginable power.
“Let’s see.”
Merlin took a deep breath and stepped down with his huge body.
“Boom.”
Merlin had only taken a casual step but the entire basement started to shake. Even the manor above was shaking. Merlin could hear the voices of some maids who thought that it was an earthquake panicking in the manor.
“What terrible power. It’s comparable to the Giant Tribe in the Void Zone!”
Merlin was slightly surprised. A high-tier almighty beast’s power had far exceeded his imagination. Since this Almighty Beast World only had one huge space, it was completely different from the Void Zone which had numerous dimensions.
However, the Almighty Beast World was not weak. As a Latitude Cosmos, the Almighty Beast was naturally not weak. Even if it could not be compared with the Void Zone, the difference was not that large.
The space in this world was much stronger. Even the Legends in the Void Zone might only be able to tear a small part of the space, and perhaps some would be unable to do so at all.
As for power, Merlin had seen the Giant Tribe’s strength in the Void Zone. The giants in the Giant Tribe were born with great power, and even babies could lift extremely heavy objects.
The Blood-eye Dragon was also very powerful. Merlin had only tried to step lightly earlier but even the thickest rampart would end up getting trampled. Furthermore, this was only the Blood-eye Dragon’s first-form.
“Such power! It’s only the first-form but it can almost completely crush the Two-headed Pterolycus!”
Merlin looked at the skin on his body. Although he had not shapeshifted completely, the skin that morphed became tough as keratin. Not even the Two-headed Pterolycus’ sharp claws would be able to tear the tough skin.
With Merlin’s current strength, he could easily destroy the third-form Two-headed Pterolycus. This was the gap between the grades of a bloodline. It was like a chasm that could not be crossed.
However, the first-form was far from enough. Merlin looked at the Nourishment Pond materials prepared in the laboratory. There were still eight portions of Hermani formula materials as well as ten portions of the Nourishment Pond formula that Heroult had given.
Merlin would not put these precious materials to waste. He saved these materials to see just what grade he could increase his Blood-eye Dragon in one go.
Thus, Merlin turned around and frantically started to prepare the Nourishment Pond again.
