Chapter 68: Divine Branding

  In the quiet and dark lake water, a deathly stillness, all life breaths have escaped far away. In the depths of the lake, a huge mysterious cyan flame is slowly burning, occasionally making crackling sounds.

  The flames isolated the lake water, Ye Han curled up in it, closing his eyes, just like an infant in a cradle.

  From his skin, 36,000 fine pores all over his body, a blue flame seemed to emanate from within his pores, spreading an extremely terrifying and intense pressure, yet it seemed to have no effect on him, as if he was in a womb, falling into a deep sleep.

  It was in this dream that Ye Han's body was undergoing subtle changes, his skin becoming whiter and more like jade, emitting a cold aura. His originally black hair gradually became lighter, starting with a faint glow, then deepening in color... His fingernails also began to emit an otherworldly luster, gradually transforming into something like jade carvings, subtly revealing their sharp edges. His palms grew longer and thinner, the double horns on his head expanded at an alarming rate, emitting an increasingly terrifying and intense pressure...

  If someone were present at this moment, they would definitely exclaim in surprise, "What is that blue flame?" It's clearly the dragon's aura! The giant dragon's breath was incredibly dense, so dense that it condensed into a flame-like shape from the threads of air. In reality, however, it was still just 'breath', a unique aura that only existed on the bodies of pure-blooded giant dragons. Although this aura didn't possess any scorching temperature, it was the main source of the dragon's power.

  The blue aura can only be possessed by 'Green Dragon'!

  Right in the center of that huge cyan 'aura', Ye Han, although seemingly asleep on the surface, was extremely clear-headed in his mind, with his thoughts rapidly turning over and deducing complex things...

  In his mind's eye, thinking in the void of darkness, a huge blue egg was woven out. The egg cracked open and a little dragon emerged from inside, with tender green scales, soft and curled up small meat wings, big eyes, innocent and cute, dying of cuteness.

  Then the little dragon baby gradually grew up, its body gradually became slender, and the scales on its body also gradually became hard. The soft meat wings could be unfolded, the claws became sharp, and two bulging drums appeared on its head. Originally big eyes began to show a hint of majesty, from the dragon baby evolving into a young dragon.

  The young dragon gradually became a mature dragon, the drum package on its head burst open, and two small and tender dragon horns drilled out. The dragon horns grew bigger and became towering and majestic, the wings continued to expand, the dragon claws began to take shape, and the mature dragon became a young adult dragon. The young adult dragon continued to grow, becoming enormous, with wings that could cover the sky and sun, white sharp teeth, huge claws that could crush rocks, green scales as big as palms, thick and hard, with razor-sharp edges, indestructible, towering dragon horns, powerful and majestic, narrow eyes revealing infinite majesty...

  It turned around, looked at Ye Han, spread its enormous wings that covered the sky and sun, fully displaying its most majestic and inviolable side. Then it let out a loud roar towards the sky and suddenly pounced forward. The originally small light shadow gradually grew larger, eventually turning into a gigantic green dragon that pounced in front of him. In an instant, it merged with Ye Han's body.

  At the same time, in the external manifestation, under the deep lake water, in the midst of a huge green gas flame, Ye Han's body suddenly twitched. On the surface of his skin, a faint green scaly pattern gradually emerged, and the scales became thicker and more pronounced, like keratin. But immediately, Ye Han's body moved violently, and the green scales were pressed back again, only to re-emerge once more, and be pressed back again...

  Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and just like that, it repeated nine times. Finally, the blue scales were suppressed back, never to appear again. However, the skin seemed to have undergone some subtle changes, as if the scales had merged with the skin, combining the indestructibility of the blue scales with the softness and excellent elasticity of the body's skin. Just as the scales were being suppressed into the skin for the ninth time, Ye Han, who was curled up in a massive blue gas flame deep in the lake, suddenly opened his eyes at almost the same moment.

  It was strange that his eyes emitted a faint blue light, with an extremely terrifying majesty!

  In an instant, the entire package's massive blue flame burst open, all along Ye Han's skin on 36,000 pores sucked back in, and in a flash, it was retracted back into his body. At the same time, the lake water churned up a towering wave, with a loud "Boom!" sound, a terrifying pillar of water shot out, and Ye Han rushed through the lake water towards the shore.

  With a loud thud, when Ye Han's feet landed back on the ground, the entire earth shook violently for a moment. Only then did Ye Han feel that in these three days, his body weight seemed to have increased significantly. The increase in weight represented an increase in muscle density, representing an increase in physical strength. And now, even he himself was unclear as to what extent his body had been strengthened.

  Take another look at his appearance, and I don't know what kind of change has occurred. His originally black hair has turned into a mysterious blue-green color, and with the wind blowing, it floats in the air, truly worthy of being called three thousand green silks. At the same time, his fingernails are like jade carvings, as if they want to emit a sharp aura. The strangest thing is Ye Han's pair of eyes. When he gazes at you, the deep eye sockets faintly emit a mysterious blue-green light, making him seem extraordinary and majestic, not something that a human can possess...

  "I've finally completed the ultimate evolution of my colonial fusion. It seems I underestimated it earlier, and almost lost control - if that scale had grown out, I would have become a mindless, wild humanoid dragon with no wisdom. Fortunately, I managed to grasp the divine seal in the end, making it worthwhile for me to fight against the seven most powerful experts of the Chaotic City in one night!"

  Ye Han looked at his own hands and felt that the surprises given to him were continuous, and the injuries he had received in the chaotic city had all healed, without leaving any hidden dangers.

  He looked ahead, suddenly felt a lump in his throat, and it seemed like something was stuck in his Adam's apple. He couldn't help but spit it out.

  A scorching blue light column shot out of his mouth at an astonishing speed, and by the time it was discovered, everything within three feet in front of him, whether trees or weeds, had already been vaporized into nothingness. The ground had a faint glassy color, which was the result of the sandstone being scorched by high temperatures for an instant, producing vitrification.

  If someone were present at this moment, they would definitely exclaim in surprise: "Dragon's Breath, this is Dragon's Breath, the Dragon's Exhalation." The signature skill of the dragon clan, but now it has appeared on a Minotaur's body, which is really puzzling.

  If this rumor gets out, I'm afraid it will scare off a lot of people!

  But Ye Han himself seemed to have expected it, and didn't show much reaction. Instead, he looked at his own hands, which were white and crystal clear, slender and unparalleled, like the hands of a god. However, just as he lifted them up, two mysterious golden symbols appeared on each hand, but they were only half-complete, clearly damaged. Yet, they emitted an extremely ancient and terrifying power, as if it had been passed down from a distant era.

  This is Ye Han's greatest gain after his first fusion, apart from the evolution of his bloodline, a congenital 'Divine Brand' that belongs to the Green Dragon tribe!

  On the body of every ancient Taigu relic, there is a divine imprint in the bones. This is the strongest power belonging to the tribe, and it is the inheritance of the extraordinary bloodline from ancient times. Although the bloodline has become impure, most of these divine imprints have been damaged or lost, but this does not hinder their terrifying power. After all, this represents the strongest power of the ancient ancestral spirits. And the one on Ye Han's hands is the 'Divine Imprint' of the Green Dragon tribe.

  Ye Han had just come out, although he already had a guess in his mind, but didn't know the final result. He wanted to try out how powerful this 'Divine Seal' of the Green Dragon clan was. So he raised his hand and pressed down on the ground beneath him, condensing his spiritual power into a single press.

  Nothing happened, but Ye Han continued to walk forward recklessly. When he took his seventh step, a loud rumbling sound erupted from behind him. Turning back to look, the spot where he had just been standing, where his palm had struck, a massive fissure over ten meters long and wide had suddenly split open and sunk in deeply...

  This is the power of the Divine Seal, the mighty strength inherited from ancient ancestors by the Ancient Species, although damaged, it represents the strongest power of a clan! With this terrible power, plus the body that came twice evolved, even if it's a White Silver-level powerhouse like the Lord of Chaos City, he dares to fight now!

  Ye Han's heart was churning with a million emotions, he lifted his head, towards the direction of the chaotic city, and muttered to himself, "It's time to settle accounts with some people now."

  He lifted his foot and strode forward, with each step, his body underwent some changes. The cyan hair strands turned from cyan to black, the nails lost their luster, and the strange cyan glow in his eyes gradually retracted, reverting to its original color, only deeper...

  Soon, Ye Han returned to his original appearance, as if nothing had ever changed.

  His footsteps seemed slow, but his speed was faster than ever before. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the dark forest, leaving behind a faint and fleeting silhouette heading towards the chaotic city.
