Supreme Dragon Martial Soul-Chapter 346 - 22: Success! The world is in chaos!

One hour passed, two hours passed...

When the night fell completely.

The blood energy radiating from Luo Cheng’s body grew weaker and weaker.

His swollen flesh slowly returned to its normal state!

Only the sound of blood surging within his body remained, rumbling like mighty rivers rushing forward!

Inside Luo Cheng’s Sea of Consciousness, blazing golden light shimmered brilliantly, dazzling and radiant, with golden waves surging skyward!

The Essence Energy Spiritual Light breaking through the Sea of Consciousness gleamed, divine rays shooting in all directions, nourished as if ancient towering trees were growing endlessly, drawing closer and closer to the Martial Soul suspended above his Sea of Consciousness!

By the late hours of the night, the Essence Energy Spiritual Light was merely a thread away from the Martial Soul!

The two entities attracted each other, emitting holy and dazzling nine-colored light, inundating the entire Sea of Consciousness!

Luo Cheng knew this was the final step, the most crucial step. He immediately focused all his energy, pushing forward with all his strength.

"Break for me!"

Boom!

A thunderous roar echoed as if an earthquake had erupted within his Sea of Consciousness; Luo Cheng nearly fainted outright!

Crack!

The Essence Energy Spiritual Light finally broke through the last layer of obstruction, penetrating into the Nine-colored Mysterious Egg, as if roots of a great tree anchored themselves deeply, tightly binding the two!

Boom, rumble!

Instantly, golden waves surged across the Sea of Consciousness, lightning interwoven, accompanied by raging dragon roars!

It resembled the beginning of creation—a chaotic universe nurturing the vitality of myriad beings!

At the same time.

Amidst a mysterious aura, the Nine-colored Mysterious Egg emerged from Luo Cheng’s body. A rainbow-like divine brilliance shot out from him, drawn into the Nine-colored Mysterious Egg.

Instantly, countless stars lit up in the void around Luo Cheng, transitioning from brilliance to desolation, from light to darkness, cycling endlessly as though the evolution of a world unfolded!

These shining and dimming stars traced indescribable trajectories, seemingly holding profound rules and order!

An ancient dragon cry echoed in the void, like a lament of the world, singing of the rise and fall of infinite Dao paths!

Ten thousand meters above the ground!

The night was as dark as ink, with stars and the moon as its companions!

Everything appeared natural and serene, without a hint of anomaly.

In the next moment!

The Heaven and Earth Essence Energy within hundreds of miles began gathering toward Xuanyuan Sect!

Under the dark sky, turbulent currents surged while auspicious colors descended. Divine rays flowed, faintly accompanied by the roar of dragons and tigers!

Huh?

A disciple of Xuanyuan Sect noticed the anomaly in the sky, just as they lifted their head.

At that instant, silently and without warning, a colossal, invisible hand suddenly rose from within Xuanyuan Sect.

Shaped like a mountain, the hand rapidly expanded, causing the surrounding space to ripple and vibrate. The burgeoning heavenly phenomenon was instantly dispersed by a single slap.

Clouds remained as clouds, wind returned to wind—everything returned to tranquility!

"Heavenly phenomenon descending—looks like it succeeded!"

Above Xuanyuan Sect, a watery curtain appeared, from which a figure emerged.

The woman wore a gown like flowing water, her figure lithe and graceful. Her long black hair cascaded like a waterfall, her eyes as radiant as stars. Though she stood before them, she felt as elusive as moonlit reflections on water—ethereal and boundless!

It was none other than Supreme Elder Qingkui!

She gazed toward Mengli Peak below, her eyes gleaming with joy.

Only when there is a significant breakthrough in cultivation or profound realization might such heavenly phenomena manifest!

Just now, the essence energy from hundreds of miles had converged upon Xuanyuan Sect.

A phenomenon of this magnitude was extraordinary and could only mean Yun Mengli’s Green Bird Martial Soul had successfully ascended to an Earth-level Martial Soul!

Buzz!

Another crack in the void appeared, from which stepped a burly, ruddy-faced elder with white hair.

He looked downward, nodded, and said:

"Such heavenly phenomena suggest it’s not just her Martial Soul’s ascension—her cultivation likely experienced a major breakthrough as well! Our Xuanyuan Sect will gain an unparalleled genius!"

Supreme Elder Qingkui nodded:

"Undoubtedly! With such accomplishments at her age, surpassing you and me is merely a matter of time."

While the two conversed.

On Mengli Peak, a blast of azure flame shot skyward.

The azure flames shimmered with traces of golden brilliance—radiant and ferocious—before stopping just in front of the two elders. Yun Mengli emerged from the flames.

Standing mid-air, draped in white robes, her black hair fluttered lightly, her brows and eyes exquisitely beautiful. Bathed in the shimmering azure firelight, she appeared like an ethereal dream, graceful as a heavenly fairy.

"Yun Mengli greets Master Ancestor! Supreme Elder of Ming Sect!"

Yun Mengli gave the two a slight bow.

Ming Sect’s Supreme Elder, known for his impatience, directly asked: "Yun Mengli, has your Martial Soul ascended?"

"Yes, my Green Bird Martial Soul has ascended to an eleven-star Earth-level Martial Soul."

Yun Mengli nodded, her bright eyes tinged with a trace of doubt.

Originally, she had estimated that the Green Bird Martial Soul still needed more time to undergo Nirvana Rebirth and ascend to Earth-level Martial Soul.

This sudden rebirth and ascension tonight had taken her by surprise.

"Haha, excellent!"

Supreme Elder of Ming Sect laughed heartily, then swiftly changed topics, addressing Yun Mengli:

"Now that you’ve awakened an Earth-level Martial Soul, you possess the qualifications to compete for the future Sect Master position! Nangong Jue’s ambitions are excessive, and he cares only for personal gain. Should he become Sect Master, it might not bode well for Xuanyuan Sect. If you are willing, Qingkui Elder and I will fully support you!"

Yun Mengli hesitated slightly, then gently shook her head: "I have no interest in the Sect Master position; it’s not something I wish to consider now."

Supreme Elder Qingkui said: "This matter is premature. Your Martial Soul has just ascended—it’s your time for potential to soar. Use this time to focus on cultivation and aim for advancing your cultivation realm."

Yun Mengli nodded lightly and asked: "How has the disappearance of the Great Chu Empress unfolded during this time?"

"Still no news! From what we’ve heard, her sudden disappearance is far more complex than mere vanishing."

"Additionally, not long ago, an elder who had remained hidden for many years came to Xuanyuan Sect and took away an Outer Disciple named Ling Chulan! It’s said this Ling Chulan and the Great Chu Empress share deep ties. The two hadn’t yet left the Great Yue Dynasty when they suffered an ambush, triggering an earth-shaking battle..."

Supreme Elder Qingkui detailed the major events of the past half-year before adding:

"The battle at Guyuan City caused widespread ripple effects, dragging in many factions. That area has now become a blood-soaked battlefield. If you have time, you can visit it; the will left behind by mighty warriors after such conflicts often aids cultivation."

Ming Sect’s Supreme Elder sighed:

"With the disappearance of the Great Chu Empress, chaos has begun brewing across the Yunlan Domain Group. Many old demons who had been lying dormant are starting to resurface. Within ten years, the world will surely descend into chaos!"

Yun Mengli nodded slowly, deep in thought.

Supreme Elder Qingkui smiled and said: "Oh, right—there’s one more matter. That Luo Cheng you brought back to the sect is now the Outer Sect’s Chief Disciple. Tomorrow, he will represent Xuanyuan Sect in this year’s Three Sects Martial Arts Competition!"

At these words, Yun Mengli’s calm expression abruptly shifted:

"Luo Cheng?"

"Outer Sect’s Chief Disciple!"

Xuanyi Residence.

Luo Cheng opened his eyes, his gaze bright and brilliant, illuminating the darkness itself!

"The Divine Bridge—completed! What an incredible feeling!"

Luo Cheng suddenly stood, his presence towering like a mountain!

He could discern a strange connection between himself and his Martial Soul.

The endless stars within the Nine-colored Mysterious Egg seemed as though they could all be wielded by him!

This feeling was overwhelmingly strong, boundless, peerless!

"Let’s try!"

Releasing his Martial Soul, Luo Cheng threw a punch forward.

Boom!

A straight fissure appeared in the air. Four training posts directly ahead shattered into countless fragments!

"My overall combat power has increased by at least thirty to forty percent!"

Luo Cheng’s eyes gleamed with astonishment.

Back when Qi Guyun unleashed his Martial Soul, his combat strength only increased by less than twenty percent.

Having just completed the Divine Bridge, Luo Cheng’s combat strength skyrocketed by nearly forty percent—twice as much!

It must be noted that this thirty to forty percent wasn’t just an increase in brute force but an enhancement of overall capability!

Confidently, Luo Cheng thought to himself: If he encountered Han Qianlin now, there’d be no need for ambushes—he could defeat him outright.

Of course, provided Han Qianlin didn’t flee!

"Now that I’ve completed the Divine Bridge, I can start training the Second Layer of the All Heavens Dragon Control Technique!"

"I’ll consolidate my realm in the coming days, and after the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition ends, I’ll make a breakthrough to the Awakening Vein Realm! At that point, I’ll be able to cross the void and fly using Sword Control... Hmm?"

At this moment, Luo Cheng’s thoughts were interrupted as his mind stirred suddenly.

Simultaneously, a voice as ethereal as the mist rose from within the courtyard.

"Life-light Divine Bridge... Earlier, Qingkui Master Ancestor mentioned you’ve become the Outer Sect Chief Disciple. I was a bit skeptical, but now, it seems I underestimated you..."
