Chapter 641: Desolate Crow Clans Transformation (1/2)
”This…”
Leon narrowed his eyes.
He could sense Lilith's aura skyrocketing to the Transcendent Realm—No, it was infinitely close, but not quite there yet.
Still, it was a very impressive leap in power for Lilith, whose strength was no higher than 4-star Ranked Awakener in Body Cultivation, to be a step short from Rank 1 Transcendent.
”A few drops of Origin Blood can produce such results?” Leon muttered with surprise.
Awakening the bloodline of Divine Beasts had always granted big leaps in power, even if it was just a small awakening.
”For the result to be this great shows how impressive the Desolate Crow was…” Leon commented before he wore a thoughtful look.
Also, the Desolate Crow Clansmen's bloodline had been so diluted that any increase in bloodline concentration was equivalent to big changes.
Perhaps, this was the true reason for violent bloodline awakening—like experiencing drought for many years before receiving a light shower from the clouds.
”Hubby, how can a few drops of blood cause such huge changes?” Darlene asked Leon in soft whispers.
”This must be your first time seeing a bloodline awakening,” Leon said with a slight smile.
”All bloodline awakenings are like this. Humans are also capable of their own bloodline awakening, but nothing as impressive as the beasts and beastmen,” he stated before adding, ”This is their inherent advantage and disadvantage.”
The Divine Beasts were one of the dominant races within the Divine Realm precisely due to such a clear advantage.
As long as the bloodline concentration of the descendants was high, their strength would grow very quickly to reach their ancestor's level, albeit slightly weaker.
By the same logic, beast descendants with diluted bloodline were shackled by it, limiting their achievements.
Only by changing their bloodline could they break free from the shackle of their powerful ancestors' bloodline.
If not, they can only find ways to increase their bloodline concentration like Leon had done for Lilith.
Of course, the Desolate Crow Clansmen were in a better position than most beasts with dilute bloodlines because they were beastmen with mixed bloodlines.
”I see…” Darlene muttered softly.
She watched Lilith transformed with little envy.
If she had not cultivated to the 9-star Ranked Awakener Realm in the Neutral Zone after Leon took her there, her envy would definitely not have been little.
Meanwhile, Leon shifted his attention onto Lilith's black flames and new pair of black-feathered wings before he noticed a slight detail regarding them.
”This position… is slightly lower than the supposed positioning of the wings…” Leon muttered softly before guessing, ”…Another pair of wings?”
Shortly after, he wrinkled his brows in confusion of his own knowledge. Did any of the Desolate Crows in the Divine Realm ever have more than a single pair of wings?
A four-winged Desolate Crow? Definitely unheard of.
However, from the looks of it, Lilith would have two pairs of wings if she did not lose one of them.
'Is this a mutation of the Desolate Crow's bloodline?' Leon pondered quietly.
Sometime later, Lilith's bloodline awakening ended.
Her bloodline erupted violently at the start but slowed down quickly to a grinding stop, a bit shy of Rank 1 Transcendent.
Nevertheless, with a bit of training and medicine, Lilith will officially become a Rank 1 Transcendent.
”Leon! Words cannot express how joyful I am right now!” Lilith chirped excitedly in front of Leon before feeling a bit of weight on her back.
After glancing over her shoulders, she became even more excited!
Gasp!
”Ooh~! I have a new pair of wings!” She exclaimed.
At the same time, Lilith's black flames slowly dispersed, revealing her bare body with glistening skin akin to a newborn baby.
”More importantly, you should find something to cover yourself,” Leon commented while taking out a spare set of clothes for Lilith.
Of course, he did not waste the opportunity and gazed at Lilith's bare body intently, enjoying the full view presented to him.
”Ahhh—!” Lilith screamed.
Her face was flushed as she immediately snatched the set of clothes from Leon's extended hand before she quickly tried to cover herself.
”D-don't look!”
”Not looking.”
Although Leon said he was not looking after covering his eyes with his hand, he was still blatantly peeking through the gaps in his fingers.
”Rogue!” Lilith cried.
