Chapter 62: Glory has come to the Blackstone Tribe
Just as Orion\'s attributes had reached their limits, he felt a surge of life energy gathering around his heart. Orion\'s heart wasn\'t just the Titan\'s Heart—it was also the place where the Abyssal Dragon was being nurtured.
The Abyssal Dragon, still in its evolutionary stage, sent a powerful mental signal to Orion, expressing its intense hunger for energy.
So, Orion continued consuming the dark source crystals.
The life energy generated by the crystals was partly used to further enhance Orion\'s body, while the rest was absorbed by the Abyssal Dragon.
Time passed, and soon the entire bag of dark source crystals that Rendall had hunted was completely consumed.
Orion then took out the hundred or so dark source crystals his own team had collected and continued swallowing them.
One crystal after another was absorbed by the Abyssal Dragon.
Orion\'s face remained expressionless as he kept consuming the crystals.
...
When only about half of the crystals remained, the Abyssal Dragon in his heart stopped absorbing energy, and something extraordinary began to happen.
Roar...
A deep, guttural roar erupted from Orion\'s chest, echoing throughout Moonshadow Valley, waking every giant in the tribe.
The valley was thrown into brief chaos.
But soon, the commotion subsided, and Moonshadow Valley returned to calm.
On the stone wall at the valley\'s entrance, Clymene gazed toward the bloodline warrior tents, a look of joy spreading across her face.
"That sound... it\'s the Abyssal Dragon... Orion... my brother... you must succeed!"
Deep within the valley, Elder Rendall was also jolted awake.
He stepped out of his tent, his sharp eyes fixed on the distant tent where Orion resided, its dim light flickering in the glow of the campfire.
"Orion, keep going!"
"The fate of the Blackstone Tribe is now tied to you!"
Inside the tent, Orion could feel that the Abyssal Dragon had successfully evolved into an Alpha-level beast.
But that wasn\'t the most surprising part.
Just as the Abyssal Dragon advanced, a strange energy shift occurred, affecting Orion as well. His Titan\'s Heart began to beat powerfully, releasing an ancient energy. Under the influence of this mysterious force, Orion himself began to evolve.
To ensure the process went smoothly, Orion didn\'t hesitate. He quickly consumed the remaining dark source crystals.
With enough life energy now surging through him, Orion\'s body underwent a profound transformation.
Half a day later, Orion suddenly opened his eyes and let out a thunderous roar.
Roar...
It was the roar of a giant.
It was the roar of Orion.
This roar carried the weight of bloodline dominance!
Deep in the valley, inside the elder\'s tent, Rendall involuntarily dropped to his knees, overwhelmed by the pressure of Orion\'s bloodline.
Behind Clymene, all the giant warriors prostrated themselves on the ground, as if in worship.
Clymene didn\'t kneel, but her entire body trembled. Her chest heaved, and tears streamed down her face.
"He did it!"
"Orion... my brother... he really did it!"
"Praise the Titan God, glory has come to the Blackstone Tribe!"
At that moment, cheers erupted throughout Moonshadow Valley.
"Orion!"
"WAAAGH!"
"Orion!"
"WAAAGH!"
The two chants intertwined as every giant shouted in unison, their bloodline warriors especially ecstatic.
Outside the tent, Lilith and Little Lysinthia, who were closest to Orion, had already prostrated themselves on the ground, gazing at the tent with overwhelming excitement.
From this moment on, both Lilith and Little Lysinthia understood that the man they followed was destined for greatness.
Inside the tent, Orion didn\'t rush to step outside. Instead, he checked his status panel.

After carefully reviewing his status panel, Orion let out a long breath.
This evolution had come as a complete surprise!
Orion had expected to remain at the Hero level for a while, but the Abyssal Dragon\'s advancement had triggered a reaction in his Titan\'s Heart, allowing Orion to seize the opportunity and break through.
However, having just completed the breakthrough, Orion was still at the lower end of the Alpha level.
Compared to the maximum potential of his attributes, Orion\'s current stats, averaging around 1500, were still relatively low.
Right now, Orion felt his entire body brimming with power. His muscles were knotted and dense, and his physical defense had reached a new height.
With his level now increased, Orion\'s attribute limits had also risen, jumping from 500 to 5000.
This clearly showed the vast difference between the Alpha and Hero levels.
Additionally, this evolution had introduced a new attribute to Orion\'s status panel: Bloodline Purity.
Orion\'s bloodline was that of a Titan, with a purity level of 72%.
Orion knew a little about bloodlines from what was commonly known, but there were still many hidden aspects he had yet to uncover.
But there was no rush. He would figure it all out in time.
