Chapter 1546: Forming the First Chaos Heart (2)
[Lore]
The dynasty of the Beast Race is a little deeper than many would expect. During the Primordial Era, the Beast Race was considered the strongest simply on the basis of factors such as strength, speed, innate talents, and bloodline power.
These factors severely skewed the balance in their favor, and as a result, they ruled the universe with an iron fist.
The Chaos Dragon was the same.
He grew up thinking humans don’t measure up to dragons. In his view, even other beasts are inferior beings.
He believed dragons were superior in every aspect, so even when he was taught how to live like a human, he despised that idea.
Naturally, as a dragon, arrogance is innate to him.
However, if one were to sit down and analyze the evolutionary path of dragons, they might finally see why they are arrogant yet the strongest in the universe.
The first generation of dragons were body cultivators. They tempered their bodies to the point that their bloodline was heavily influenced by it. So when the second generation of dragons came, some were already inherently blessed with strength.
But a true dragon knew tempering their body alone wasn’t enough. They needed ways to take advantage of their stronger bodies. So they found a way, as they did with body tempering.
Bloodline tempering, or what we call cultivation today, was born.
By increasing one’s strength, their bloodline grew stronger until the second generation became the ultimate race.
Then the third generation came, and they saw that with how strong a dragon had become in both body and bloodline, why not make it so they had more than one source of energy to channel from?
Granted, a dragon core is the strongest and largest in the beast kingdom. They have more energy than most, at least during the first few generations of evolution.
However, a dragon is an ambitious being, so they wanted more. In that case, they chose to venture into dual-core cultivation, which later became the norm.
They called it Dragon Heart Evolution, and in history, the Chaos Dragon had the strongest Dragon Heart ever recorded.
History has it that the day the Chaos Dragon first formed his core, Generals, Kings, Queens, Emperors, Empresses, Monarchs, and even Sovereigns ran from their domains, fear gripping them.
He became undisputed in the Blood Region.
The Primordial Chaos Dragon was feared not because he was the strongest from the start or the most talented—he was feared because he was the most dangerous.
A Chaos Heart is like an additional tank of energy that runs indefinitely. Such was the power of the Primordial Chaos Dragon, the most powerful beast to ever live.

Today, Kent aspired to create history again, only that this time, he was a bit more powerful than before. This time, he had more resources at his disposal than before.
"The last time, I had just 25,000 drops of Dragon Spirit Essence and one Chaos Heart Stone. Today, I have over 600,000 drops, four Chaos Hearts, and even a Dragon Ascension Fruit."
Kent turned and looked at the two other treasures added to the roster.
"Blood Life Fruit and Stone Heart Fruit," he smiled, very happy and eternally grateful to his wives for going the extra mile for him.
"I only needed a few drops of Dragon Spirit Essence and a Chaos Heart Stone. However, since I now have these added treasures, then I will have to create something that will make them happy."
The look of determination appeared in his eyes as he examined the items he would be using.
The [Chaos Heart Stone] is a special stone condensed from the very purified essence of chaos. Just one Chaos Heart Stone is enough to wipe out an entire planetary system. The chaos energy stored inside it, if detonated at the right time, will wipe out over 60 planets from existence.
Kent would have to swallow it and use his body as a container to hold the chaos energy and then recompress it, only that this time, he would have to use it to create a core, or as it is called, a heart capable of absorbing chaos energy.
But since he needed to hold that much energy inside his body, he would first have to obtain a body strong enough to handle that much chaos energy.
That is where the [Dragon Spirit Essence] comes in.
He would have to temper his body and undergo the first dragon tribulation, where he would have to shed his scales and form new ones. This process is agonizing, and he is going to suffer severely.
However, before that, he would have the chance to strengthen his bloodline. He was currently at 26% awakening. If he were to absorb the [Dragon Ascension Fruit], then adding 5% more awakening to his belt wouldn’t be too bad.
Aside from that, he could also absorb the [Blood Life Fruit] since his cultivation path is the Slaughter Path.
As for the [Stone Heart Fruit], he would find out once everything was over.
"Okay, first, I need to temper my body. But to do that, I must increase my bloodline, and what is the best way to do that than taking in the [Dragon Ascension Fruit] and also absorbing the [Blood Life Fruit].
These two will get me started. Maybe I won’t suffer too much during the tribulation and scale shedding."
He could only hope for the best. He saw, from Chaos’s memories, how painful the process was.
"Come to think of it now, maybe Chaos’s wickedness toward others wasn’t intentional. Perhaps after undergoing several tribulations and enduring that much pain, his mind broke to the point that the pain of others doesn’t get to him."
Kent grinned. "But then again, what is a little bit of madness when the benefits are just too good to be true?" he laughed, causing the mood around him to turn a bit crazy.
His smile was also a bit evil, and his overall demeanor reeked of someone intent on defying the rules of common sense.
"I guess the Dragon Council was right, I am indeed a bit out of my mind," taking the [Dragon Ascension Fruit], he regarded it for a few seconds, then brought it to his nose and smelled it.
"Ah, these girls are spoiling me rotten," he grinned and thought of something. "Good thing I am about to become a bit chaotic. I will need a way to release some of that energy I will accumulate." He smiled and bit into the fruit.
He closed his eyes and savored the taste. The energy traveled through his body, opening pathways he never knew existed.
Slowly, he felt energized. But that was just the start of his transformation.
His bloodline began to stir, and with every bite, he felt the sensation travel deep into his body until he felt he was about to make a major breakthrough.
He devoured the last remaining fruit and formed a hand seal, regulating the energy to some parts of his body. He let the energy move through his brain, eyes, ears, mouth, throat, chest, and even down to his nails.
Kent knew he would have a chance to temper his body. However, crazy as he was, he chose to start with the Dragon Ascension Fruit because why not?
At the end of the day, he would have a chance to awaken some innate talents. So he just wanted his options to be open.
"Ah, I am indeed one crazy bastard."
