"You bastard! Let me go!" Black Dragon Progenitor was rendered immobile by this snake-like blue lightnings. He tried to use all his strength to free himself but to no avail, "What are you doing? Do you know what you're doing?"

"You're such a noisy one." Jin Rou wanted to gag the man's mouth, however, he refrained from doing so, "Your name shouldn't be Black Dragon Progenitor, it should be Noisy Dragon Progenitor."

"You dared to mock my name? What audacity!" Although he was already binded helpless here, his mouth was still running off like a gun, "I hail from the strongest beast clan, the True Dragon Clan! Not just that, I also hold a high status there as a Supreme Elder. If you do any harm to me, don't think that my clan will let you get away with it!"

"You're using your background as a threat?" Jin Rou laughed, "Though you are a progenitor, your brain is still like of a child. Did you become a progenitor by eating so many grand resources and treasures in your clan?"

"..." The progenitor didn't say anything.

"It seems like I hit the nail, huh?" Jin Rou smiled, "Besides, don't ever think that your clan can intimidate me. Not even your gods and progenitors are enough to become my match."

What Jin Rou said was true. But of course, the progenitor didn't believe him in the least.

"Such arrogance!" The progenitor harrumphed in disdain, "Our gods and progenitors aren't a match to you? I would like you to try them, then! Let me see this capability of yours."

"Unfortunately, you will not be able to witness it." Jin Rou shook his head, "Today will be your death. You killed so many innocent already, you can't be left alive."

"What are you saying..." The progenitor was puzzled. Then, he saw the child walking over to him with a knife being held by his hand.

"Good for you, though. You will do one right thing today before you die." Jin Rou smiled filled with disdain, "And that is you offering all of your blood."

This time, the proud and arrogant expression could no longer be seen in the progenitor's face. It was now filled with fright and fear.

"Animal, don't come near me!" The progenitor was helpless and he could only shout and threaten the child, "You are also a dragon, if you drink my blood, you will be branded as a vermin that deserves a thousand times of death!"

What the progenitor said was true. There was a rule in their clan which stated "one shall not draw blood of a clansman". If someone ignored this rule, they would be hunted by the dragons until they die. This was an iron rule of the True Dragon Clan.

Hearing this, Xiu'er stopped on his tracks. It seemed that he understood the implication of this. However, he only stopped for a few seconds before walking again.

"!" The progenitor thought that he was already safe and successfully threatened the child. However, it seemed that the child's resolve was tougher than he expected.

After several steps, Xiu'er was now in front of the lying progenitor.

"You... You..." The progenitor was scared shitless as he tried his best to say something. However, for some unknown reason, the words were stuck on his mouth.

"You deserve to die." Xiu'er coldly said as his eyes flashed with radiant killing intent.

"Slash!" Then, without hesitation, he slashed the right side of the progenitor's neck and knelt down. Next, he sucked on the deep wound he created and drank the blood coming from it.

It was a bizarre sight. A small child sucking the blood of its brethren for the sake of power. However, when one looked more at it, the scene was not gruesome and even had a style that could be called elegance.

This world had the rule of the jungle, where the strong preyed the weak. This kind of sight was not strange, to be exact.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!" The progenitor could do nothing but scream at the top of his lungs. His screams and cries were telling that he wanted to be saved. He wanted to be unleashed of this pain and misery.

However, there was no one to save him. Perhaps, this was his retribution for all the grave sins he committed. In the end, the cycle of karma had bitten him, leaving him in this kind of despairing state.

This torturing and hell-like process lasted for five minutes before the place regained its usual silence.

The progenitor was no longer moving, he was already dead. His corpse was also very thin as all of his blood, up to the last drop, was drank by Xiu'er. With his eyes wide open, it was obvious that he died an indignant death.

Just like his victims in the past.

After which, Xiu'er stood up and blinding light emerged from his body.

"Alright, time to do the last step." Jin Rou created a seal and threw it in Xiu'er's direction.

This seal consisted of millions of dao laws and universal laws. So, the power behind it was extremely terrifying.

The seal engulfed Xiu'er and made him float. Then, the power of the seal broke out as white pillar of lights appeared from below shotting up above.

After which, Jin Rou told Xiu'er with a very serious tone, "Now, I'm going to help you refine the blood you drank. You just need to grit your teeth and survive this pain. This will be excruciating, so be prepared."

Xiu'er nodded in response. Although his eyes were closed, he could still hear sounds.

Then, Jin Rou activated the seal and the shotting up light pillars stopped.

"Ahhhhh!!!!!" This time, it was Xiu'er's turn to scream. His scream was filled with despair and pain.

However, he was not crying. One look and you could see that he was very determined to overcome this trial. He already started this, he might as well end this successful. Because for him, failing was never a choice.
