Doomsday: I Become Invincible By Picking Up

C233 – Mutation

“I’m going all in. Luis, if I pull this off, I expect the lion’s share of the Essence of Blood Devil!”

Quinlan appeared resolute. He retrieved a porcelain vial from his pocket.

Extracting a single droplet of blood crystal.

“Is this a mutated blood from a sacred artifact poison container?”

Luis’s excitement surged upon seeing it, vigorously nodding in affirmation.

“No problem.”

In this moment, Quinlan merely needed to detain Loong Chen and execute the Blood Demon Formation. Regardless of Quinlan’s stipulations, Luis would comply.

Regardless, Luis would postpone his decision until the issue was resolved.

Given Quinlan’s acumen, he understood that Luis wouldn’t uphold his pledge easily.

Yet, he had no alternative. Failure to act would inevitably lead to his demise.

He opted to take the gamble.

“Human, I’ll extend one final offer. Depart now, and the preceding events will be overlooked. We can coexist peacefully, agreed?”

Quinlan addressed Loong Chen.

Only in dire circumstances would he resort to consuming the mutated blood in the vial. For even he was uncertain of the consequences of such a transformation.

“Do you truly believe I would acquiesce?”

Loong Chen smirked icily. Given the circumstances, he harbored no illusions that the Blood Race would simply release him.

Moreover, his purpose here was to eradicate the Blood Race.

“Fine, you leave me no choice!”

Quinlan’s countenance hardened as he ingested the mutagenic blood clutched in his hand.

In an instant, Quinlan’s physique underwent a dramatic transformation.

Thick scales encased his palms and feet, resembling beastly claws.

Simultaneously, his body underwent rapid expansion, sprouting draconic-like muscles.

Two ebony horns protruded from his skull, transforming his formerly refined, aging visage into a savage countenance.

His appearance underwent a complete metamorphosis; he was now a monstrous entity.

“No wonder he preferred peace over seizing that blood-red crystal. It seems taking it would result in this…”

Loong Chen had an epiphany.

Appearance mattered greatly to the Blood Race. Quinlan’s current state was a fate worse than death in their eyes.

“Human, your actions have led me to this transformation. Today, your blood will activate the formation!”

Quinlan’s voice growled with primal ferocity. His colossal form exuded an even more formidable aura than before.

Loong Chen could faintly perceive that Quinlan’s strength now approached the pinnacle of Emperor Level.

“You lack the authority to draw my blood!”

Loong Chen reprimanded icily, exhibiting no hint of fear.

He possessed the capability to undergo transformation as well.

Without delay, Loong Chen activated the Dragon Phoenix Mark, initiating rapid alterations to his physique.

Scales emerged across his form, yet these scales diverged from their previous crimson hue, now displaying a spectrum of colors.

Furthermore, these scales resembled dragon scales while also bearing resemblance to phoenix feathers.

Simultaneously, two colossal wings sprouted from his back.

He now embodied the fusion of dragon and phoenix, each sharing dominance over his being.

“Slay!”

Quinlan’s voice thundered through the skies as he charged toward Loong Chen.

Each stride he took resonated, shaking the foundations of the Blood Race castle.

“Merge power.”

Loong Chen directed his command to the mirror image’s duplicate. The mirrored incarnation of Loong Chen positioned itself behind him, placing a hand upon his back.

Instantaneously, Loong Chen experienced an influx of tremendous energy coursing into his being.

“Phoenix Divine Fire!”
