Chapter 640: Desolate Crows Origin (1/2)

”Study and practice?”

Uncle Jorn wanted to inquire further.

But seeing that the person was no longer interested in continuing the topic, Uncle Jorn could only smile wryly and return his attention to the frozen bodies of the Three-legged Golden Crows.

It was hard to imagine how many mouths could be fed with each body. Uncle Jorn's eyes brightened at the thought.

After calling over several high-level to Transcendent-level warriors from the clan, they began working on the frozen bodies, dissecting them into small pieces of meat to be prepped and preserved elsewhere.

The noise made it unsuitable for Leon to focus. Thus, he left the area to find a quieter spot to refine the 600-odd drops of blood essence.

Soft Feather stayed behind to watch the Desolate Crow Clansmen at work with a drooling expression written all over the face.

Aria, Darlene, Lilith followed behind Leon with their own reasons.

Aria found the area noisy, Darlene simply followed the crowd, and Lilith was curious about Leon's blood collection like her Uncle Jorn.

A few minutes later, they found a relatively clean patch of grass that had not been contaminated by rat blood before taking their seat.

After seeing the bottle of 600-odd drops of blood essence in Leon's hand, Lilith could hardly contain her curiosity, but she knew better than to interrupt him.

She watched Leon commence his blood refinement as the bottle uncorked itself, and drops of blood essence flowed out in streams before revolving around his hand.

Meanwhile, Leon had already shut his eyes in full concentration of refining the blood essences according to the Everlasting Blood Mantra.

It was specified that only one type of Origin Blood can only be refined out of each race. However, this should only be applied to pure breeds.

For a mixed-breed like the Desolate Crow Clansmen, Leon was curious how many types of Origin Blood he could gain after refining their blood essences, which contained variations of Desolate Crow and human bloodlines.

'Whether there will be one type of Origin Blood, two types of Origin Blood, or more than that, I will soon find out,' Leon thought.

Very shortly, the first few dozen drops of blood essence were refined into a few Origin Bloods before Leon fused them into his bloodstream.

The answer became crystal clear to him in the next moment.

His mastery of the Everlasting Blood Mantra only increased from 11 types of Origin Blood to 12 types of Origin Blood.

'Only one type of Origin Blood was able to improve my mastery of the Everlasting Blood Mantra technique, huh? And it's the Origin Blood of the Desolate Crow...' Leon silently contemplated.

In other words, the Origin Blood of humans was completely ineffective in raising his mastery. It could only serve as stamina replenishment in battles of attritions.

'I cannot rule out the possibility that these Origin Blood of human is ineffective because they were ordinary... Origin Blood of humans with special bloodlines might prove to be different...'

Leon continued to ponder deeply in mediation before he resumed refinement of the following few dozen blood essences.

Without any surprises, his mastery did not improve after absorbing the next few refined Origin Blood. His stamina level, on the other hand, was overflowing with energy

'Strange...'

Leon noticed something unrelated to the improvement of his mastery while refining the blood essences into Origin Blood.

'Although the code sequence recorded inside the Origin Blood of the Desolate Crow is all the same time, the shape slightly varies...'

After pondering the peculiarity for a moment, Leon wondered if it had something to do with the concentration of bloodline diluted throughout the generations.

'Wait a minute,' Leon suddenly thought of another matter.

According to history, the beasts were just ordinary animals prior to the last Cataclysm. How could they have the bloodlines of Divine Beasts or perhaps, even God Beasts?

'If the beasts had taken half a millennium to become Divine Beasts before breeding, the bloodline concentration of their offsprings should be very high instead of being diluted like this...' Leon pondered.

Not to mention that the Divine Beasts should still be around.

'Since that is not the case, it means the beasts already contained the bloodlines of the Divine Beasts even back when they were regular animals...' Leon concluded.

Why was planet Gaia so abnormally large compared to other celestial bodies amongst the stars? Why does it have so many floors and layers beneath its surface?

When Leon considered the destroyed civilizations, the ancient ruins, and the Cataclysms throughout history, his eyes suddenly snapped open with a startling conclusion.

'The world has undergone many cycles of destruction and recreation!'

Seeing that Leon's eyes suddenly snapped open, Lilith, who had been observing him, was startled.

”Did you forget something?” Lilith inquired with a confused look. She was sure that she had not done anything to interrupt his practice.

Leon's gaze shortly fell on Lilith before he asked calmly, ”How much do you know about your ancestors from the beast side, the Desolate Crow?”
