As the three bloodlines raged, their innate abilities began to trigger, unleashing chaos in the physical world around Su Xiaobai.
The Skyfather Lineage roared to life first, invoking the Celestial Ruler's Descent.
The skies above darkened ominously, the stars blinking out as massive storm clouds gathered overhead.
The air crackled with energy, and the ground trembled as the power of the heavens was drawn down.
BOOM!
A deafening crash of thunder split the sky, followed by jagged streaks of lightning that tore through the clouds, striking the earth with terrifying force.
The energy converged above Su Xiaobai, forming a swirling vortex of thunder and storm.
Suddenly, the Invincible Body, the innate ability of the Eternal Blood Monarch bloodline, activated on its own, protecting Su Xiaobai from the onslaught of the storm.
His skin hardened, taking on a dark, metallic sheen as it became impervious to the elements.
CRACK!
The lightning struck him directly, but instead of harming him, it was absorbed into his body, the energy surging through his veins.
Yet, the most fearsome display came from the Azure Dragon Bloodline.
Su Xiaobai's body tensed as he felt an overwhelming force building in his chest.
ROAR!
Without warning, his mouth opened wide, and a beam of pure, destructive energy shot forth from his throat—the [Azure Dragon Heveanly Breath].
The beam was a blinding white-gold, imbued with the power of the ancient dragon, and it tore through the sky, obliterating the clouds and sending shockwaves through the forest.
Trees were uprooted, the ground was scorched, and the very air seemed to tremble under the force of the dragon's roar.
But the bloodlines were not in harmony.
The abilities triggered by each bloodline were causing chaos both within and outside Su Xiaobai's body.
The [Invincible Body] was holding off the external destruction, but internally, the clash between the bloodlines was growing more violent.
Within his [Sea of Consciousness], the three bloodlines continued their fierce battle.
The [Skyfather Lineage], embodied as a vast, thunderous storm, sought to dominate with its heavenly might.
Lightning crackled across the skies of his mind, attempting to overpower the others.
The [Eternal Blood Monarch] bloodline surged with dark power, its storm of blood-red energy swirling with the force of decay and regeneration.
Meanwhile, the [Azure Dragon Bloodline] roared with ancient fury, its serpentine form thrashing through the stormy skies, trying to assert its primal dominance.
'Only the might of Infernal flames can supress them!'
Su Xiaobai thought, summoning his [Infernal Flames] with every ounce of willpower he had left.
The flames erupted within his Sea of Consciousness, red and fierce, surrounding the clashing bloodlines in a fiery prison.
WHOOSH!
The flames roared as they closed in around the bloodlines, their heat intense enough to make Su Xiaobai's entire body convulse with pain.
But he couldn't let go—if he did, he knew the bloodlines would tear him apart.
"I have to forcefully merge them… to create something new!* he commanded himself, the flames tightening their grip, pulling the three bloodlines toward each other.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
As the Infernal Flames constricted around the three bloodlines, each one unleashed its full power in a desperate bid for dominance.
BOOM!
The [Skyfather Lineage] unleashed another surge of lightning, attempting to break free from the flames, while the [Eternal Blood Monarch] retaliated with a wave of dark energy, seeking to drain the life force from the flames themselves.
The [Azure Dragon Bloodline] roared once more, its breath scorching the confines of the fiery prison as it tried to overpower the others.
The clash sent waves of excruciating pain through Su Xiaobai's body, his muscles twitching uncontrollably, his skin burning as though the flames were scorching him from the inside out.
He gasped, his breath coming in ragged bursts, his vision dimming as his body began to break down under the pressure.
'No… I can't let them win!' he thought, fighting through the agony. "Merge, damn you!"
With a final, desperate surge of will, Su Xiaobai forced the Infernal Flames to flare even brighter, their heat reaching a level that threatened to incinerate his very soul.
The flames tightened around the three bloodlines, squeezing them together, compressing their energy into a single point.
CRASH!
The three bloodlines collided in a massive explosion of energy within his Sea of Consciousness.
BAM!
The impact sent shockwaves through his entire being, the pain so intense that Su Xiaobai's vision went white, and his body convulsed violently.
But amidst the chaos, something incredible began to happen.
The three bloodlines, forced together by the might of the Infernal Flames, began to merge.
Their energies, once in conflict, now started to intertwine, their individual characteristics blending into something entirely new.
As the bloodlines merged within Su Xiaobai, his consciousness was abruptly pulled into a vision—a vision so vivid and overwhelming that it felt as though he was no longer in his own body, but standing at the dawn of creation itself.
Before him, the heavens opened, revealing a cosmic battlefield where ancient forces clashed.
The sky was torn asunder by streaks of lightning, the earth rumbled with the power of untold storms, and the air itself hummed with the intensity of primordial energy.
In the center of this chaos stood three entities, each one a manifestation of immense power, yet even they seemed insignificant compared to the presence that loomed over them.
To the left, Su Xiaobai beheld a "majestic Titan", a colossal being whose form towered above the clouds.
Thunder roared around him, crackling and sparking like a living crown upon his head.
His skin was like stone, imbued with the very essence of the heavens, and his eyes glowed with the fierce light of countless storms.
This was no ordinary giant, but a being born of the very forces of the cosmos, embodying the might of the thunder and the authority of the sky itself.
On the right side of the battlefield was a "darker entity", smaller in size but no less terrifying.
This being was wreathed in shadows, its form hidden in a cloak of swirling darkness.
Everything around it seemed to wither and decay, as though its very presence sucked the life from the world.
Its eyes burned with a vicious crimson glow, piercing through the darkness like twin embers of eternal night.
This was the embodiment of death and decay, a force that consumed all in its path, leaving nothing but desolation.
Beside the Titan and the dark entity, the mighty "Azure Dragon" coiled through the sky, its serpentine body shimmering with scales that glistened like polished jade.
It was majestic, an ancient being of immense power, its eyes glowing with the wisdom of millennia.
The dragon's presence was commanding, its body rippling with the energy of the oceans and the skies.
Yet, even this mighty creature, with all its strength and pride, seemed subdued, its gaze fixed forward with a hint of fear.
All three of these ancient beings—entities that could reshape worlds and command the elements—were not focused on each other.
Instead, their attention was drawn to a figure before them, a figure so colossal and terrifying that even they, in all their power, appeared almost meek and insignificant.
