xp nodded at Liu Guanfeng and said, "This matter should be traced back to a long time ago when every race on this continent could coexist peacefully. As humans gradually learned to cultivate, their desires began to swell, leading them to hunt for Mount and wage wars everywhere, plunging the entire continent into chaos. At that time, the Guardian appeared, bringing four followers to quell the turmoil. Among the magical beasts, only the Dragon Clan and our Hellhound collaborated with him.
Thanks to our joint efforts, the chaos was finally quelled. With the help of the Supreme Deity, the entire continent was divided into four parts, which formed the four empires we have today. However, during our campaigns alongside Xuan Yuan Guang, our Hellhound inevitably had some disputes with the Dragon Clan. After the chaos subsided, the Dragon Clan feared that we Hellhounds would gain Xuan Yuan Guang's favor and become the top magical beasts in this world, as only we Hellhounds dared to confront the Dragon Clan directly. Thus, the Dragon King slandered us before Xuan Yuan Guang, claiming that we Hellhounds were arrogant and harbored rebellious intentions.
As a result, Guardian Xuanyuan Guang sealed the powers of our clan's immortals, making it impossible for any Divine Knights to emerge from our clan. The predecessors of those Divine Knights were injured while quelling human conflicts and could not receive energy replenishment after becoming Divine Knights, leading to their eventual deaths. Just as most of our clan's Divine Knight ancestors were passing away, the Dragon King led his strongest members to hunt us Hellhounds across the continent. We were forced into this Underworld, but the Dragon Clan did not intend to let us go and attacked us in the Underworld.
At that time, we Hellhounds had around seventy to eighty thousand members, but under the relentless pursuit of the Dragon Clan, fewer than a thousand remained. In this dire situation, the Supreme Deity suddenly descended and commanded the Dragon Clan to leave the Underworld, telling them never to step foot in it again.
After driving out the Dragon Clan, our last remaining Divine Knight elder was already exhausted. However, the Supreme Deity did not lift our clan's Forbidden Spell; instead, he sealed that elder's bloodline and memories within a crystal. This became a legacy that all our clan leaders had to inherit. Other leaders could only inherit part of the memories within it, while I inherited everything, including the bloodline contained in the crystal. After much effort over time, I successfully integrated that bloodline into my body. The final segment of the inheritance crystal contained a warning from the Supreme Deity.
The Supreme Deity said that once I fully merged with the bloodline and contributed my blood to all my people, they would no longer be stuck at Ninth Tier and would ascend to Tenth Rank like other magical beasts."
Liu Guanfeng nodded after hearing this: "I wondered why the Dragon King looked at you with such disdain back then; it turns out you both harbored mutual hatred from deep within. Even so, you don't need to say goodbye to me."
"Master, you have seen how many of our people remain. Do you think I can survive after giving them my blood?" xp said with a bitter smile.
Upon learning that xp intended to sacrifice his own blood for his people, all Hellhounds lowered their heads; after all, he was willing to sacrifice himself for his entire clan.
Even Little Black appeared extremely dejected; it didn't blame xp but rather admired him. A magical beast willing to exchange its life for lifting its clan's Forbidden Spell was indeed a noble act.
Just as all Hellhounds were engulfed in sorrow, Liu Guanfeng burst into laughter. His reaction caused all Hellhounds to lift their heads in surprise, and some elders' eyes filled with anger; if Liu Guanfeng weren't xp's master, they might have charged at him.
"xp, are you saying that as long as they can drink your blood, they can break through?"
xp nodded: "Master, do you have any ideas?"
"I don't know if this method will work, but it's worth a try."
When Liu Guanfeng mentioned that there was a way, all the Hellhound Elders perked up, and from their eyes, Liu Guanfeng saw a glimmer of joy. After all, being able to break through the Forbidden Spell while preserving one's life was something everyone hoped for.
"Master, please tell us what the method is!"
"The Supreme Deity only said it requires your blood, but did not specify how much each Hellhound needs. It might be that they only need a drop of your blood to lift the Forbidden Spell, or perhaps half of your blood. That's why I said we could give it a try. Let's see how much is needed to lift the Forbidden Spell. I want to ask you elders, after reaching the Ninth Tier, has your strength truly not improved at all?"
"That's not the case. I can continue to absorb energy; however, once the energy enters my body, it has no reaction. It's as if our bodies are bottomless pits, and we don't feel any sense of advancement," the Former Clan Leader explained the situation in his clan.
"That's good to hear. The reason you cannot advance is simply that you don't feel it. No matter how much energy you absorb, it doesn't seem to have any effect. But that doesn't mean you haven't absorbed it; rather, the energy is hidden in places you haven't sensed. I believe that once the Forbidden Spell is lifted, you will have the opportunity to break through to Divine Knight. Now, let me conduct an experiment. Among you elders, who has the highest seniority? In other words, who is the oldest elder?"
At this moment, a White Hellhound stepped forward: "I have the highest seniority here; I have been at Ninth Tier for nearly six hundred years."
Liu Guanfeng nodded: "Alright, you'll drink first."
After saying this, Liu Guanfeng took out a Bowl from his Cosmic Bag and poured some clear water into it. Then he brought the bowl in front of the elder: "Raise your paw; I'll draw some blood."
The elder raised its left front paw, and Liu Guanfeng used a small dagger to make a small cut on it. A stream of fresh blood flowed from the wound; after about ten drops of blood fell into the Bowl, the clear water turned red.
"Stop the bleeding yourself." The elder gathered white Fighting Qi over the wound with movement, and soon the bleeding stopped.
Liu Guanfeng stirred the blood and water in the Bowl with his finger and then placed it in front of the elder: "Elder, drink it sip by sip. After each sip, circulate your energy and feel it. If you don't feel anything, take another sip, understood?"
"I understand." The elder slowly lowered its head next to the Bowl and gently licked a sip of the blood water. After swallowing it, it lay down on the ground and focused on sensing. At this moment, Liu Guanfeng was very anxious, concentrating all his attention on that elder. After about half a minute, the elder opened its eyes and shook its head before gently licking again and continuing to circulate its energy. Another half minute passed before the elder opened its eyes again and shook its head. Liu Guanfeng's heart was already in his throat.
However, this elder did not give up. It licked from the Bowl again and swallowed more blood water without carefully sensing it when suddenly it froze. At that moment, a noticeable change appeared on its face; although dogs have very few facial expressions, one could still see that surprise emerged on the elder's face.
At this time, the entire cave was silent as everyone waited for this elder's result. After about a minute, that elder finally howled loudly: "I can finally feel the barrier for breaking through! I can advance!"
With a single word from the elder, all the elders in the cave erupted in excitement, while Liu Guanfeng let out a sigh of relief. After all, he had succeeded, and judging by the situation, it seemed that each drop of blood could break one Hellhound's Forbidden Spell.
"Master, three drops can break one Forbidden Spell."
"I know this; approximately one drop of blood can break one Hellhound."
"Xiaofeng, that's not a solution. If one drop of blood can break one Hellhound, how many Hellhounds are there in the entire clan? Even if each one only needs a drop, that would be enough to drain all the blood from XP."
Upon hearing Little Black's words, the excitement of all the Hellhounds was instantly extinguished. The cave fell silent again, and all the Hellhounds turned their gazes toward Liu Guanfeng, waiting to see what he would say next.
"Everyone need not worry; this problem is easy to solve. As long as you don't break the Forbidden Spells at the same time, it will be fine."
"Master, what do you mean by that?"
"As long as you offer a certain amount of blood each time, this amount won't influence your health. Then you can mix this blood with clean water to break some Hellhound's Forbidden Spells. After a few months, you can release some more blood and break another part until all are undone. This way, you won't lose your life. The rest period of these few months will allow you to regenerate all your blood, so you won't lose your life at all."
"Is what you said true? I really won't have to die?"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"Master, how much blood should I contribute each time?"
Liu Guanfeng looked down at the bowl of water on the ground: "About this much each time should be sufficient."
"Master, shall we start now?"
"There's no need to rush. Now that we know, we must prepare well. Elders, this bowl of water is enough for the Nine Elders to break their Forbidden Spells; please select nine individuals to divide this blood water."
Following the Nine Elders, the blood water was thoroughly separated, and just like the results of the experiment, all the Nine Elders could feel that their Forbidden Spell had been lifted, and they could be promoted to Divine Knights at any time.
"Elders, the remaining task requires your assistance. I would like to know how many Hellhounds are in your clan? Among them, how many Hellhounds have reached the Ninth Tier?"
The Former Patriarch spoke again: "Currently, our clan has a total of 19,826 Hellhounds, of which 808 have reached the Ninth Tier."
"So many?"
"I suppose it is because our race has strong reproductive capabilities and advances quickly, which has led to jealousy from the Dragon Clan," the former patriarch said with a helpless shake of his head.
"Elders, I will trouble you for a while longer. You need to find the strongest 200 Nine-Tier Hellhounds to come here and lift the Forbidden Spell. After that, every three months, select another 200. Although this may take some time, it is better than losing lives."
"We understand this well. You can rest assured. Our clan has been waiting for this day for nearly a thousand years; we do not mind waiting a few more decades as long as the patriarch can preserve his life."
"Alright then, go ahead and select them. I will prepare the blood water for you here."
"Okay." After saying that, the Eleven Elders rushed out of the cave to begin searching for suitable Hellhounds, while Liu Guanfeng took out a water jar and began mixing the blood water according to the proportions.
Half an hour later, exhausted, he lay on the rock and fell asleep, while the two hundred portions of blood water were already prepared. The Hellhounds outside were also ready. Following Liu Guanfeng's instructions, all the Hellhounds entered the cave one by one in order, each drinking three mouthfuls of water.
One hundred ninety-nine Hellhounds and one Veteran drank all the blood water. Liu Guanfeng then asked if there were any who could break through to become Divine Knights. To his surprise, upon inquiry, he found that all one hundred ninety-nine Hellhounds felt they could break through at any moment. Along with the previous eleven elders, if they all succeeded in overcoming their tribulations, there would suddenly be an additional two hundred ten Divine Knights among the Hellhounds—a truly terrifying prospect.
This also indirectly indicated how profound the foundation of the Hellhounds had been after so many years of dormancy. At this moment, all the Hellhounds were incredibly excited; they knew that spring had arrived for them. As long as they could break through, they would have the capability to resist the entire Dragon Clan.
