This allowed Jiang Li to control the Golden Bone in a short period.
Moreover, the power of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body within the Golden Bone had been significantly depleted after the recent battle.
Jiang Li estimated that he could use it at most twice more before the power within it would be exhausted.
So be it. This wasn't his own power in the end. Twice was better than nothing.
Jiang Li took a deep breath and then put away the Golden Bone.
With the departure of the Blood Demon Ancestor, under the deterrence of numerous Supremes, the battle quickly concluded.
The many demon races of the Heavenly Demon Domain all surrendered, not daring to harbor any thought of resistance.
Jiang Li sat cross-legged beside the royal palace, utilizing various resources to recover the various powers within his body.
When using the Golden Bone, Jiang Li's own divine abilities could not be used, as if there was a great sense of repulsion.
He could only use simple fists for a strong, crushing offense.
He still needed to rapidly increase his strength. Jiang Li, while recovering, reminisced about the recent battle.
After the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body reached minor completion, its power was truly formidable.
With physical strength alone, he could withstand Supreme laws and shatter everything.
Jiang Li was already beginning to anticipate how strong he would be upon reaching the Supreme realm.
"Young Master Jiang, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I truly wouldn't know what to do..." Tang Long approached Jiang Li with an expression of deep gratitude.
Jiang Li looked at the now perfectly fine Tang Long beside him. Tang Long's favorability towards Jiang Li had now reached a remarkable 80.
"No, you won't be in trouble..." Jiang Li grumbled inwardly.
How could a destined protagonist be so easily killed?
There must be some hidden reason.
However, since Tang Long approached with good intentions, Jiang Li did not refuse.
Jiang Li had already considered that not all protagonists needed to be eliminated; that was unrealistic.
If some could be befriended, it wasn't entirely unacceptable.
As long as they didn't obstruct his path to becoming stronger.
"It was just a small effort. After all, we cooperated once before!" Jiang Li smiled and continued.
Following that, the two began to chat.
Tang Long kept complaining about his boring and happy life in the True Dragon clan and how Supreme Long Yuan kept forcing him to cultivate.
He didn't want to come for this Blood Demon Heart; he just wanted to cultivate in peace.
Hearing Tang Long's words, Jiang Li gained a new understanding of him.
This was the mindset of a normal transmigrator: developing discreetly... possessing heaven-defying physique and resources, as long as he cultivated honestly, it would be fine.
Fighting and killing… the risk was too high.
However, he probably couldn't keep a low profile anymore.
The Reincarnation Divine Hall, the Primordial Sacred Land, and that Ye Tian, the former Saintess of the Chaos Sacred Land, and the Hegemon Body of the Central Continent... they were already involved in the game.
If he didn't become stronger quickly, he would truly be doomed later.
Not to mention, the system he possessed was specifically for intercepting opportunities, so conflict was inevitable.
Subsequently, the two continued to chat near the royal palace.
...
Far from the Green Hill Royal Palace.
Two figures with imposing auras walked side by side.
"Fellow Daoist Fu Hai, you have truly found a good son-in-law. Such an outstanding youth is indeed rare throughout the ages!" Supreme Long Yuan spoke with Supreme Fu Hai in conversation.
"If our True Dragon clan had eligible dragon maidens of the right age, I would have wanted to tie that little fellow back!" Supreme Long Yuan continued.
Supreme Long Yuan's gaze was like a torch, instantly discerning that Jiang Li's foundation was extremely profound, his vital energy like a dragon, and his age very young.
He was truly an unparalleled genius.
Supreme Fu Hai's eyes were also filled with smiles, clearly very satisfied with Jiang Li.
"Fellow Daoist Long Yuan, your True Dragon clan's Supreme Dragon Body is also excellent, graceful and dignified!" Supreme Fu Hai then praised Tang Long.
Supreme Fu Hai shook his head. Tang Long was good in every way, except he was too cautious.
However, what Tang Long said was not unreasonable. With such a powerful physique, he just needed to develop properly in the True Dragon clan.
There was no need to participate in so many dangerous actions. As for combat experience, the True Dragon clan naturally had ways to handle it.
The two then slowly strolled forward.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Fu Hai, please handle the Blood Demon Heart. Your son-in-law will likely face many more battles in the future!" Supreme Long Yuan then said to Supreme Fu Hai.
Supreme Fu Hai did not refuse. He understood what Supreme Long Yuan meant.
Jiang Li truly needed the Blood Demon Heart more than Tang Long.
They had all seen Jiang Li's physique; it was a flawless Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, originating from the same source as that Golden Bone.
In the future, a world-shattering battle was destined to occur.
It was a fated duel, unavoidable.
After Supreme Long Yuan gave up the Blood Demon Heart, Supreme Fu Hai also allocated a considerable amount of other resources to Supreme Long Yuan.
After all, this battle was a joint victory for both sides.
...
"Little friend Jiang Li, we are truly indebted to you this time. If it weren't for you, I would have truly become a sinner of the True Dragon clan!" Supreme Long Yuan said slowly, without any trace of supreme arrogance.
Supreme Long Yuan's gratitude to Jiang Li was also from the heart. The Supreme Dragon Body was too important to their True Dragon clan.
Who would have thought that the Blood Demon Ancestor would have made such thorough preparations?
If something had truly gone wrong and the Supreme Dragon Body had perished, it would have been a sin for eternity.
"Senior, you are too kind. Tang Long and I are friends, so it's only right!" Jiang Li replied.
Supreme Fu Hai had already sent a telepathic message to Jiang Li, informing him that Supreme Long Yuan had decided to give the Blood Demon Heart to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li was filled with joy.
Originally, Jiang Li had thought he would have to absorb and refine the Blood Demon Heart together with Tang Long.
Unexpectedly, Supreme Long Yuan gave it up completely, which was truly beyond Jiang Li's expectations.
"Great kindness needs no thanks. This is a method for condensing the Blood God Domain, and also, if you ever need anything in the future, feel free to ask us True Dragons for help!" Supreme Fu Hai continued, speaking to Jiang Li.
Then, Supreme Long Yuan pointed his finger, and a golden spiritual light directly entered Jiang Li's mind.
That spiritual light was the method for condensing the Blood God Domain, and it also contained a secret technique to contact the True Dragon clan.
Jiang Li took a deep breath. He had truly profited immensely this time.
The method for condensing the Blood God Domain, coupled with the friendship of the True Dragon clan.
"Thank you, senior, for bestowing this art!" Jiang Li replied respectfully to Supreme Long Yuan with gratitude.
After a few more pleasantries, Supreme Long Yuan, along with Tang Long and the True Dragon clan members, departed.
