Barry carried Dn out of the crater and found another cave for shelter. He inspected Dn''s body and was horrified? by his condition. It was truly severe. His arms experienced 2nd degree burns despite having indirect contact with the lightning. His feet had sufferedpound fractures with bones portruding his legs. His body was still convulsing and suffering from a high fever from the electrocution of the heavenly? lightnings. The worst of which was his life force was dispersing due to forced usage. But despite all of those, Dn had a pleasant smile on his face as he slept.


    "He can still survive even in this situation?! He''s barely alive!" Barry was shocked to see his brother with such drastic injuries.


    "I need to act fast!" Barry gently put Dn''s body to the 2 meter wooden tub he took out from his storage ring and he also put the healing solutions he concocted to the tub for Dn to be soaked with. This was the Six Herbs Calming Solution he learned during his travels. Like it''s name, it''s mainly to calm the body from any sort of ailment. This prevented Dn''s body from convulsing any longer and calmed it down while supporting the body''s homeostasis.


    Being a Herbal Specialists and a person who has lived for 5 centuries, he also gained expertise in nursing and healing others. He straightened Dn''s body with care and performed first aid. He applied the medicinal pastes to the 4 bandages he took out and binded Dn''s burnt arms with it. He also carefully? and skillfully put acupuncture to Dn''s legs to prevent him from waking up from the pain of straightening his fractured legs.


    *Crack* *Crack*


    Barry aligned Dn''s legs to it''s former position without waking him up. He used four nks with the size of Dn''s feet, as a brace for Dn''s legs and wrapped 2 bandages? around each foot.


    After doing first aid to his hands and feet, Barry also mixed in a healing solution called Body Cleansing Solution which could help the body recuperation faster. Dn''s condition stabilised after Barry''s careful treatment.


    "Finally, he''s stabilised." Barry wiped his forehead for the umted sweat on it. Thankfully, he was able to stabilize Dn''s condition.


    "Did he really just pass that?" Barry stared at the dawn sky, feeling a bit lost from what has happened. A 9-levels Heavenly Tribtion was something that was more than two sub-realms stronger than it''s user. It was a miracle how Dn has survived.


    Barry knew that it was beyond difficult what Dn experienced this day. He fought for his life and came out with his life intact. As his sworn brother, Barry felt pride in having such a dazzling talent as his brother.


    Although as a man, he was envious of such talent but like what Dn said as long as he could perfectly integrate the Tri-fire Corrosive Poison Fog into an Avatar, he could use that Avatar as a catalyst for his bloodline''s evolution which will have no longer the cursed weakness the heaven''s has given it. He would be someone who would gain talents even greater than his father! But, being sessful with the bloodline evolution, he would anger the heavens thereby inciting a Heavenly Tribtion for himself.


    But, instead of being afraid, he even anticipated it while his eyes shined in excitement, "I wonder how many waves I could resist." Barry mumbled to himself.


    "Oh no!" Barry detected a change in Dn''s condition. Dn''s hair has turnedpletely white and wrinkles started to appear. It was as though Dn had aged 50 years in just a minute. His condition was deteriorating to a very rming extent.


    "He used more than half of his vitality?!" Barry''s? expression turn aghast. With his bloodline, he could feel the status of life around him. He could feel that Dn no longer had half of the life force he previously had and the remaining was being wasted. Due to this, Dn was experiencing aging faster than normal.


    To use his vitality, Dn unconsciously punctured a hole between the boundary of spirit energy and the longevity, to get additional strength from it. If Dn only used a tenth or even a quarter of his life force, with Barry''s initial treatment would have still worked and stabilised his condition. However, due to the immense strength of thest wave, Dn had to use approximately half of his vitality in order to stop the lightning dragon. Due to the hole, his body became imbnced and could no longer stop his vitality from leaking.


    "I can''t let another brother die again! I will not let you die, brother!" Barry formed had seals one after the other. The natural energy around them and the energy of nts was being summoned by Barry! It formed a spherical globe above his hands.


    "Sacred Vernon: 100-year Vitality Transfer!" The globe was injected to his bosom and was then released after several minutes. It now had a milky white energy within because it extracted a portion of Barry''s life force and pushed it into Dn''s chest!


    "Arrrrgggghhh!"


    Barry felt as though his soul was being ripped apart from the pain but he disregarded it and put his brother first. Most would be apprehensive in giving away their vitality but Barry did not. He did not wish to see another brother die even more so if it was in front of him. Therefore, he did not hesitate to give him his? life to save him.


    Boundless vitality flowed within Dn''s body and nourished it. His face and body reverted back to their original youthly forms. His hair returned to being ck in color. The hole between the boundaries was also mended through it''s energy. The milky white energy epassed Dn''s body and it directly absorbed the solutions within the wooden tub. Making his injuries recover at a heaven defying speed!


    "What... where am I?" Dn opened his eyes and looked around him. He wondered why he was in a tub inside a cave and he was startled to see Barry lying on the ground ashened face.


    "Brother! What happened? Are you okay?" Dn immediately stood up and he carefully lifted Barry''s head with his arms. Strangely, he felt an amazing feeling if vitality within his body. ''What is this feeling?''


    " *cough* I''m d you are finally awake, brother. *cough* I''m d the transfer worked perfectly and healed you." Barry weakly uttered with a smile.


    "Transfer? Healed? What do you mean?" Dn was first lost in thought before he finally recalled the Heavenly Tribtion. He remembered how painful his body felt and how his body was wasting away. Dn now realized what Barry was referring to when he said healed and transfer. "Don''t tell me you transferred some of your vitality to me?!"


    "Sharp as ever, brother.*cough*" Barry coughed.


    "Why do you do it?! Look at you, you have paid dearly just for my sake! You wouldn''t have suffered if you did not do it!" Dn said with anxiety.


    "But, if I didn''t, you would have died from the leakage of your life force ." Barry briefly exined himself.


    "..." Dn suddenly be silent. He would not have thought that his situation was as severe as life force dispersal. He even felt guilty for implicating Barry with his problems. He knew that if Barry was not here, he would have died that''s? why he was really grateful for what Barry did.


    "Don''t be like that. *Cough* I am still fine. It was only 100 years of vitality from mine and is only about 5 % of my life force so don''t me yourself. It was my choice to save you. *Cough* You can count on me at times? of need because I will be relying on you in order to make the evolution of my bloodline sessful. *cough* Remember, we are brothers." Barry fainted on his brother''s arms after saying those words.


    "Thank you so much, brother. I will repay you for every debt I have. I will keep my promise of sessfully making your? bloodline evolve!" Dn had a tear which fell from his right eye. He temporarily stored the wooden tub into his storage ring and carried Barry at his back.


    "Rian?" He was walking to the exit of the cave when he saw a ck dog in front of them which was limping as he walked.


    "Hehehe?, I finally found you." Rian spoke those as he weakly fell to his side.


    "Rian, what happened to you?" Dn rushed to Rian and kneeled. He was shocked to see burnt wounds on the little dog''s body.


    "The darn heavens gave me 12 rounds of punishment. Each one was stronger than before! How ridiculous was that?! It''s like it hated me or something! All I did was eat the first five to restore my bloodline''s power! It sent it those lightning to kill me so what was wrong with me eating them?! Enough about me, how about you?" Rianined loudly as he stood up and stabilised himself. He thought that he really did not anything bad that he should deserve to be punished.


    "12?! You even ate five rounds of it?!?" Dn almost vomited blood and felt like he had seen a monster when he heard Rian''sint. This cute dog could endure 12 levels of Heavenly Tribtion and still lived to tell the story! What shocked him the most was that he ate the Heavenly Tribtion''s lightning and evenined that he did not do anything wrong! Eating the lightnings like a snack was a provocation to Heaven!


    "Yup! Hmph, it can''t kill this king! So back to my question, how many times did it send lightning to you?" Rian impatiently asked.


    "9" Dn directly answered.


    "Only 9?" Rian looked quite smug knowing that he had experienced even more waves than Dn.


    "There''s no need to act so smug just because you were able to endure more lightning strikes than I have , you rascal." Dn knew right away what Rian was thinking when he saw that self-satisfied grin on his cute puppy face.


    "H-how did you know what I was thinking?! Did you just read my mind?! You jerk, why didn''t you tell me you have mind-reading powers?!" Rian naively cursed while acting all flustered. He was still a baby after all so he still had lots to learn about life.


    "Don''t be so quick to jump to conclusions. I knew what you were thinking because it was written all over your face." Dn admitted calmly. He knew that if he were to tease this little guy, it would act irrationally and do some crazy things like how he forcefully made Dn drink his blood. With Rian''s strength being superior to his, Dn knew that it was unwise to provoke such a little tyrant.


    "Grrr!" Rian growled cutely in embarrassment and lowered his head when he realized how naive he was.


    "Enough of that. Grab onto me, we''ll go to Thunderclouds City. We have to take brother to my residence so he could rest better. Plus, we are not safe here. Themotion we have caused half an hour ago will attract many powers to investigate the matter." Dn said solemnly. He knew that Rian was exhausted and could barely stand so he asked him to grab onto him.


    "Okay." Rian responded in an unwilling tone but he knew the gravity of what Dn said so he still chose to follow his instructions. He jumped andnded on top of Dn''s head and nestled his face on Dn''s hair like it was his nest.


    Dn did not mind it and he started dashing out of the cave and into the forest. Although he was carrying Barry and had Rian on top of his head, he was still able to move at his top speed by using his Seven Crane Dances.


    "By the way, what happened to Barry?" Rian asked.


    "He transferred some of his life force to me when my vitality was wasting away." Dn suddenly felt guilty for implicating Barry with his problems.


    "He did that for you? Barry really is a great brother." Rian was touched by how Barry was so decisive and do such a thing. Because of his bloodline, he had some knowledge with many things even his ability to speak came from his ancestral memories. Thus, he knew what Barry had to experience.


    "He is." Dn smiled hearing this because he truly felt Barry really is one.
