A tiny black dragon soul came out of his body and started to touch his forehead.
A cultivation manual of every emperor of Dragon night must learn to defy the heavens.
After that, nexus felt an immense force pulling his soul directly to the soul ocean where a divine words swirled around and covering his entire soul ocean.
Heavenly dragon blood scriptures, was the name of the cultivation manual.
The first step to become immortal was to gather spiritual energy to awaken the dormant dragon bloodline in their body.
Spiritual energy converts to Dragon qi.
Circulate it through the nine dragon veins in the body refine it with their dragon blood.
The imperial dragon qi was born, it was far more destructive and denser compared to dragon qi.
The dragon bone was strengthened however, the dragon blood pool was not ordinary it was made up of the celestial abyss dragon blood, Spirit herbs, ancient dragon bones, and beast blood.
Meridians torn every second and rebuilt.
A dragon scales started to arise beneath his skin.
Weeks had passed.
5 months had passed.
The unbearable pain caused him to twist his body apart but he remained on lotus position absorbing the blood meridians.
10 years had passed.
"This kid last longer than anyone I knew his perseverance deserved a praise but… this is it"
"I guess I will wait for the next chosen one"
The dragon soul watched his body in clenching pain.
Nexus began to lose consciousness but the only thing that kept himself was his imperial father, fairy tale.
While the time was passing.
'In the past, our ancestors could walked around the sky like an immortal, and wrecked havoc everywhere.
[1year had passed]
We were a supreme being in the universe, but for some reason the ancestors disappeared for a long time, and left this star.
[4 years had passed.]
That's why we must find an explanation from them, the first step was to become the strongest…'
A beaming golden light rose above the sky from the body of nexus.
All living creatures in the forbidden forest got swept up and followed its light.
For a moment the golden light was being swallowed like an predator by nexus.
Its a devouring technique of heaven-devouring dragon art.
"This kid really was something else… that thing gives me a chills everytime I witnessed it"
The dragon soul goes outside his body and had a glimpse with nexus and its devouring ability.
Nexus slowly opens his eyes and a familiar voice greeted him.
He looked around his body changed his arms hardened like a dragon scales also a black-cosmic horns grew.
He now truly can be called a descendant of the true dragon.
Nexus lightly stomped his feet to the ground, and it cracked. But the ground instantly recovered.
He bowed towards the dragon soul on the side.
"Thank you for your guidance senior"
"Hmmm— It's barely passable, Don't let that get to you"
Now it's time to get some fresh air.
The dragon soul teleported him to the outside world.
The beasts around the forbidden forest gathered and greeted the Dragon Emperor.
He radiates a dragon qi without being able to suppress, it instills fear in beasts.
Even the beasts of golden core couldn't help but lower their heads.
"This will be your training ground from now on, hunt the powerful beasts in the forbidden forest."
"Until then you can't leave the forest, you must not show yourselves to the world… I bet you can do your best without me for the time being…"
The dragon soul goes back to the soul ocean.
"Thank you, senior"
Nexus knew that for the past years since he went to the Ancestral sacred ground the dragon soul was watching over him without a rest.
It consumed a lot of his energy even though he just woken up from the slumber.
Roarrr—
Spirit flame tiger, had broken free from the dragon's aura intimidation.
His will that ruled the forest like a king from the past he won't be surrendered like some beast.
The tiger launch an fire breath from his mouth towards to nexus.
Boom—
The fire scattered around the corner when it landed directly to nexus.
Nexus waved its hand and the fire dust was cleared up.
The tiger realized that the fire doesn't work on the dragon emperor.
In an instant he charged his way up closing the gap between the dragon emperor and him.
"You foul little beast, I let you be my first kill in the path towards the strongest"
Nexus clenched his fist and stopped the claws of the tiger, the ground cracked open.
He channels dragon blood on the other hand launched a powerful force, the tiger was sent flying.
He gathered his dragon blood on his feet to increase speed and reflexes.
Without time to react the tiger couldn't react to his speed that met its downfall.
His heart was ripped opened and nexus drink its heart core.
"Heaven-devouring dragon art"
The flesh and souls of the spirit flame tiger was devoured by the dragon emperor.
He felt an slight increase in his strength.
The beast that witnessed the devouring ability was terrified since then the Lowest level of the deepest part of the forbidden land.
Made a new king the dragon emperor, even though there's still a strong beast comparable to spirit flame tiger that opposes him.
But in the end they were being hunted day and night, until none of them were able to escape from being devoured.
Lastly, his sense that he was about to reached the new stage, Dragon bone forging, comparable to the golden core cultivators.
Even though nexus was only in the peak of foundation establishment.
He can fought an middle golden core realm beast.
He rested after weeks of dominance in the forbidden land. Inside the soul ocean by a wisp of thought the divine scripture move straightly to his mind, a single divine scripture contains an enormous amount of divine wisdom.
In the vast universe, countless strong immortals was born that started in the first stage of cultivation.
The Qi gathering —> Foundation establishment —> Golden core realm—> Nascent soul —> Soul transformation…
It's just that the Imperial Dragon lineage of nexus was too strong that the dragon bone forging was comparable to the golden core realm or even beyond.
He learned that he wasn't supposed to be arrogant because of the tiny power he possesses. To become the strongest was either to lay low, however the bloodline dominated the past by pure destruction and devouring everything on its path.
