Chapter 852 ()

Meanwhile, inside the palace at Cinque Terre City, Jacob remained unconscious on the floor.

After the merman absorbed a portion of the spiritual energy available, his gaze turned sharp.

He stared at Jacob, lying on the floor, and curled his lips into a smile.

"I didn't expect to stumble upon the son of a dragon right after waking up after a few thousand years. I must be blessed with good fortune by the heavens."

The merman slowly walked up to Jacob.

His eyes shone and radiated a red glow. Then, he examined Jacob's body like a scanner before the red glow disappeared.

"He's just a cultivator in the Nascent Soul phase. How can the son of a dragon like him be so weak? Still, the draconic essence in his body is of substantial size. I'll absorb you first before slowly recovering my strength."

As he spoke, the merman suddenly lunged forward in an attempt to grab Jacob's draconic essence.
