"Gooji..."
The excited cries of the Little Ice Silkworm gradually weakened when it received no response.
It began to carry a hint of disbelief and unwillingness!
Obviously, it had already realized that the massive Dragon Silkworm might be dead, but upon awakening, it still tried every means to traverse the cold currents to come in and take a look.
"Sigh..."
Unwilling to give up, the Little Ice Silkworm slowly crawled over the large dragon's head, finally reaching the Spirit Platform located at the center of the dragon's forehead. It gently exhaled a pale blue breath toward that area.
Mu Jinyu observed that this pale blue breath appeared quite peculiar, speculating that it should be the Little Ice Silkworm's life-bound essence?
"Buzz!"
As soon as the Little Ice Silkworm exhaled its life-bound essence, spraying it on the Dragon Silkworm spirit platform, an astonishing scene unfolded.
The spirit platform area became illusory, and then a bronze lamp three inches long slowly floated out, quietly spinning in front of the Little Ice Silkworm.
"What is this thing?"
Mu Jinyu looked at the three-inch-long bronze lamp, utterly baffled by what it was.
After all, compared to the Dragon Silkworm whose body stretched nearly a thousand feet long, this three-inch lamp was as inconspicuous as a hair on a person's body and didn't seem like the opponent's life-bound magic treasure.
"Could this be the so-called 'life lamp,' that when lit, would awaken the Dragon Silkworm?" Mu Jinyu speculated silently.
"Sigh..."
While Mu Jinyu was speculating, the Little Ice Silkworm started to act. With a puff, it spat out a mouthful of blood in colors of blue, red, gold, and black, spraying it onto the bronze lamp, dropping it on the exhausted lamp oil.
Upon witnessing this, Mu Jinyu was initially startled, thinking the little creature intended to refine its own essence blood to light the bronze lamp. However, he quickly realized that the blood wasn't from the little creature.
Because no species' blood would be so mixed with various colors, appearing so chaotic.
Moreover, after awakening the Dragon Clan's bloodline, Mu Jinyu was highly sensitive to Dragon Qi. He could perceive the chaotic Dragon Qi in the blood spat out by the Little Ice Silkworm, containing essence blood from various Dragon Clans.
Included among them was the essence from the Hanchi Dragon Tail he obtained with the Barbarian King previously.
"So it was collecting dragon blood and always wanted my Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse for this reason..."
Upon seeing this, Mu Jinyu suddenly realized, murmuring to himself.
"Sigh..."
With the Little Ice Silkworm spraying the accumulated multicolored dragon blood onto the lamp oil, the dragon blood ignited, and a small white glow began to appear on the lamp wick.
However, the wick wasn't fully ignited; the white glow flickered, on the brink of extinguishing.
The Little Ice Silkworm, anxious, spat out another mouthful of golden blood with a puff, causing the dragon blood to blaze even hotter, stabilizing the white glow significantly, but the wick remained unlit.
The Little Ice Silkworm began to shout anxiously, looking back at Mu Jinyu, calling out a few times anxiously before turning around to continue spitting blood to stabilize the faint white glow on the wick.
Mu Jinyu understood the Little Ice Silkworm's intention, and immediately rushed over, carrying the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse.
The little creature had helped him numerous times, saving him on several occasions. How could he ignore its current need for help?
Quickly, Mu Jinyu reached near the Dragon Silkworm's dragon head, but compared to the Dragon Silkworm's head, he and the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse he carried were incredibly minuscule.
At this moment, Mu Jinyu was also suppressed to the point he could not fly, unable to drag the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse up to the Little Ice Silkworm.
"Forget it! I'll climb up there and stabilize it myself!"
Clenching his teeth, Mu Jinyu realized he couldn't drag the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse onto the Dragon Silkworm's head, deciding to climb up himself and use his dragon blood to stabilize the burning dragon blood, allowing the Little Ice Silkworm to handle the residual essence blood of the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse.
"Bang!"
Mu Jinyu dropped the dragon corpse with a heavy thud.
Then, he began to climb the Dragon Silkworm's head with his bare hands, and after a considerable effort, he finally reached the position on the forehead.
"Goo ji ji..."
The Little Ice Silkworm, appearing quite exhausted, continuously spat out several mouthfuls of blood. Upon seeing Mu Jinyu finally coming up, it gave an excited cry.
But soon, it noticed Mu Jinyu hadn't brought the dragon corpse or extracted any essence blood, and its cries weakened, becoming rather upset.
Mu Jinyu said, "I don't know how to extract the dragon blood you need; you go down and handle it. I'll stabilize this bit of lamplight."
Saying this, he struck his own chest, spitting out a concentrated mouthful of dragon's essence blood.
With a "whoosh," the essence blood drenched the lamp oil. Although it still couldn't fully ignite the wick, it did slow the extinguishing speed of the white glow on the wick.
Mu Jinyu secretly felt relieved; if it were a year ago, he would probably have been unable to assist the Little Ice Silkworm.
Back then, he hadn't even activated the Dragon Clan's bloodline, and the dragon blood within him was too scarce, unable to even perform the True Dragon Art.
Fortunately, later on, he absorbed a massive amount of Dragon Qi and dragon blood at the Dragon Marrow Immortal Spring, making up for this, enabling him to aid the Little Ice Silkworm today.
"Yiya..."
The Little Ice Silkworm initially didn't quite believe Mu Jinyu's words, but seeing him spitting blood, it grew anxious and shouted.
It wasn't worried about Mu Jinyu harming his own body but afraid his blood would contaminate the dragon blood, causing its efforts to be wasted.
Yet, when Mu Jinyu's blood drenched it, it surprisingly managed to delay the extinction speed of the light. Confused and puzzled, its wide eyes were filled with ambiguity.
Then, it realized that the blood Mu Jinyu just spat out indeed, contained substantial Dragon Qi and was Dragon Clan's essence blood...
Although perplexed as to why a human contained dragon blood, which was relatively dense for the Human Race, the situation was urgent, and the Little Ice Silkworm couldn't dwell on it. After gratefully giving a cry to Mu Jinyu, it rushed down.
It urgently needed to handle the residual essence blood and life-bound essence within the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse.
Even though its own bloodline was many times more distinguished compared to the dragon corpse, lighting this bronze lamp required not only dragon's essence blood but also the law fragments contained within.
Despite its noble bloodline, its current strength was too weak, merely equivalent to a human's Qi Refinement Realm, inferior to a Flood Dragon with lower bloodline but relatively high strength.
Thus, it needed borrowed blood to light the lamp.
When Mu Jinyu saw the little creature leaving, the white light shrouding the lamp wick was about to dissipate again. He smiled bitterly and patted his chest, spitting out a large mouthful of essence blood onto the lamp oil, managing to stabilize it once more reluctantly.
Each mouthful of blood from him managed to keep the white light stable for about thirty seconds.
After approximately six mouthfuls, the Little Ice Silkworm finally puffed out its cheeks and rushed up, spitting a large mouthful of crimson blood onto the lamp oil.
"Hoorah!!"
With the Unity Realm Stage peak's dragon's essence blood and life essence despoiling the lamp oil, the nearly depleted lamp oil finally took effect, and the white glow on the lamp wick burned brightly, igniting the lamp.
"Sigh..."
At this moment, wisps of white smoke rose from the lamp, soon condensing into an illusory yet overwhelmingly majestic human figure above the void.
