Xu Nian was ecstatic, the Jade Dragon Marrow was incredibly useful to him.

    With this Jade Dragon Marrow, his chances of catching up to Ouyang Chengfeng greatly increased.

    Xu Nian did not hesitate and directly poured the Jade Dragon Marrow into his mouth.

    With Emperor Ye Tian present, he didn''t need to worry about Demon Beasts suddenly attacking; he just needed to focus on his breakthrough.

    As the Jade Dragon Marrow entered his stomach, it initially felt cool, but soon it turned excruciatingly painful, like molten lava.

    Xu Nian clenched his teeth and desperately circulated the Divine Demon Refining Body Technique, frantically absorbing the Bloodline Power in the Jade Dragon Marrow.

    However, the Jade Dragon Marrow proved more fierce than Xu Nian expected, as the Dragon Energy inside condensed into dragon shapes, rampaging wildly within his body, occasionally emitting roars.

    "How formidable the Dragon Energy is, this must be the Bloodline of the Taigu Blood Dragon, ranked sixth among the Nine Dragons," Xu Nian mused to himself.

    The Taigu Nine Dragons also had rankings; previously, the Earth Dragon Bloodline Xu Nian consumed was ranked last among the Nine Great Ancestor Dragons.

    The Black Iron Eagle''s Dark Demon Dragon Bloodline ranked eighth among the Taigu Nine Dragons, but even so, the eighth and ninth Ancestor Dragons were exceptionally strong, and any associated with their bloodline would possess strength surpassing that of other Demon Beasts of the same tier.

    Now that Xu Nian had snagged the Bloodline Power of the sixth-ranked Taigu Blood Dragon descendant, how could he not be thrilled?

    Dragon Energy lingered within his body, and strands of Blood Qi were extracted from the Jade Dragon Marrow, assimilated into his own dragon veins.

    Xu Nian was of the Nine Dragon Supreme Body, having nine dragon veins corresponding to the Nine Great Ancestor Dragons within him.

    Thus, once this strand of Dragon Energy infused his dragon veins, another dragon vein within Xu Nian was activated.

    However, these were only bloodlines of Ancestor Dragon descendants, not the true Ancestor Dragon Bloodline. Once Xu Nian absorbed the essence blood of all Nine Great Ancestor Dragons and attained perfection in all nine dragon veins, he would become invincible.

    Yet, this day seemed far too distant for Xu Nian, who was now engrossed in absorbing the Blood Dragon descendant''s bloodline.

    The Bloodline Power of this Blood Dragon descendant was evidently a bit more substantial than the previous Nether Dragon Blood Qi. At this moment, as the Dragon Energy and Bloodline Power were absorbed, the flesh and blood in Xu Nian''s body continuously strengthened, and his Gang Qi became denser.

    Second Level of Star Realm!

    Third Level of Star Realm!

    Fourth Level of Star Realm!

    "Chirp!"

    Just then, a high-pitched cry suddenly came from the sky.

    Next, Xu Nian felt the sky above him being obscured; a huge Black Iron Eagle with a wingspan of six meters dove toward Xu Nian, its iron claws, like steel, directly grabbed at him.

    Its sharp and piercing eyes revealed a greed, obviously attracted by the Dragon Energy emanating from Xu Nian''s body.

    "Six-star Level Demon Beast, Black Iron Eagle?" Xu Nian slightly startled, then without any hesitation, immediately mobilized the Blood Dragon Qi in his body, condensed Dragon Scale Fist, and went head-to-head with the Black Iron Eagle''s talons.

    "Clang!"

    The Dragon Scale Boxing Gloves on Xu Nian''s fist collided with the sharp talons of the Black Iron Eagle, producing a piercing friction noise. However, those talons that could pierce through steel could not penetrate Xu Nian''s boxing gloves, but instead were pushed back by Xu Nian.

    "Chirp!"

    The Black Iron Eagle, missing its strike, did not give up and circled above Xu Nian''s head, seemingly preparing for another strike.

    Xu Nian then drew the sharp sword from his waist, constantly vigilant of the Black Iron Eagle.

    Normally, a Six-star Level Demon Beast would have its bones broken by his punch, but this Black Iron Eagle was merely pushed back, its talons completely unharmed. This left Xu Nian quite amazed.

    "Eh, there is such a Demon Beast?" Just as Xu Nian was shocked that he hadn''t managed to injure the Black Iron Eagle, Emperor Ye Tian by his side let out a light eh.

    "What kind of Demon Beast, isn''t this a normal Black Iron Eagle?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

    Although he also sensed that the Black Iron Eagle in front of him was extraordinary, its appearance was exactly the same as a normal Black Iron Eagle. Now, hearing Emperor Ye Tian say this made him even more puzzled.

    "Boy, you are simply too ignorant. This is not any Black Iron Eagle, but an Ancient Golden Crow Divine Eagle. It specializes in feeding on dragons, one of the few Demon Beasts comparable to the Ancestor Dragon," Emperor Ye Tian said with a firm gaze.

    Xu Nian also looked up at the Black Iron Eagle in the sky, filled with surprise.

    This is the Black Gold Divine Eagle?

    It looks no different from a Black Iron Eagle, and why would such a Divine Eagle be so weak?

    However, Xu Nian didn''t have much time to think as the Black Iron Eagle in the sky was already gathering strength for another dive.

    Emperor Ye Tian, standing beside him, said excitedly, "Quick, don''t let it escape. You must subdue it. In the future, it will be a great asset to you."
