Supreme Dragon Martial Soul-Chapter 455 - 131: First Level of the Xuanlong Technique, Out!
Chapter 455: Chapter 131: First Level of the Xuanlong Technique, Out!
Roar!
Just as the colossal sword, blazing like the scorching sun, was about to strike down.
Suddenly, a high-pitched dragon roar reverberated through the air.
The Nine-colored Scales quivered lightly, and the True Dragon Divine Hall illusion suspended above the Sea of Consciousness suddenly radiated a boundless nine-colored divine brilliance, as if the infinite cosmos had collapsed, evoking a sense of the eternal and the infinite!
The kingly figure, condensed from willpower, was frozen in place. Its immense aura dissipated completely, plunging into utter silence. Its crystalline body shattered and began falling apart.
He forced his head up, gazed toward the True Dragon Divine Hall, and a terrifying gleam shot out from his eyes as he muttered:
"The True Dragon Divine Hall, the origin of eternal calamity... actually..."
Before he could finish speaking, his body shattered explosively, fading away until only a strange dark-red glow remained.
"Haah!"
Luo Cheng gasped deeply, as if he had just returned from a journey to the Ghost Gate. He turned to gaze at the dark-red glow suspended above his Sea of Consciousness.
The dark-red glow, surrounded by scarlet mist and veiled in mystery, floated above his golden Sea of Consciousness, carrying a faint, elusive sharpness.
"A sword isn’t the true edge; mankind is the true sharpness! Such powerful will. Even after a hundred years of death, just a remnant will is still this formidable! Luckily, the True Dragon Divine Hall is even more extraordinary and subdued it. Otherwise..."
Recalling everything that had just transpired, Luo Cheng still felt a lingering fear.
Just a remnant willpower was that overwhelming—what kind of power would the opponent have possessed in life?
Such a peerless Sword King, how did he fall in Heart Refining Gorge, spilling blood across the land!
All this left Luo Cheng in awe.
Suddenly.
Luo Cheng’s expression changed abruptly, and he felt his blood rushing wildly, Essence Energy surging, his body turning into a living volcano on the verge of eruption!
Earlier, he had absorbed two Four-star Soul Crystals and an enormous amount of Essence Energy.
This formidable energy was out of control, rampaging wildly within him, causing his entire body to tremble!
If this continued, he wouldn’t be killed by the king’s willpower but would still die from his body exploding.
Luo Cheng dared not hesitate and immediately steadied his mind, controlling the immense Essence Qi and Essence Energy within, and began cultivating the Xuanlong Technique.
Roar!
This time, the Zhengrong Dragon Energy quickly came under his command and began sinking into the Essence Energy Mansion.
"Hmm! I can start cultivating now!"
Luo Cheng was ecstatic, not expecting this time to go so smoothly.
The misery of walking through the Ghost Gate wasn’t for nothing!
Overjoyed, Luo Cheng immediately eliminated distractions, using his Soul Power to guide the Zhengrong Dragon Energy as it descended into the Essence Energy Mansion. There, it swam freely, continuously refining energy and constructing an intricate, mystical map.
At this moment, the immense Essence Energy within his body seemed to find an outlet and fervently converged upon the Essence Energy Mansion!
Eventually, the Essence Energy Mansion began tightening and contracting inward, transforming into a motionless nebula, radiating mysterious light and resembling a giant egg, lying there in stillness. freēnovelkiss.com
One hour passed, two hours passed, three hours passed!
Boom!
Suddenly, the motionless nebula vortex exploded massively, causing his entire Dantian to ripple like water!
The intricate, mystical map became reality, forming scales, sharp talons like an eagle’s, dragon horns, and whiskers...
Finally, the entire Essence Energy Mansion transformed into a vividly lifelike essence-energy dragon!
"The Essence Energy Mansion has transformed into dragon-shape! Finally succeeded! The first level of the Xuanlong Technique! Such powerful primordial energy quality!"
Luo Cheng’s voice brimmed with excitement.
The essence-energy dragon spiraled and danced, not only greatly increasing operational speed but also continuously refining Essence Energy. The quality of its Essence Energy rose sharply, exceeding ordinary Essence Energy by more than double!
With this, as long as he operated the Xuanlong Technique in combat, his strength would soar significantly.
It would undoubtedly become his strongest trump card!!
Clang! Clang! Clang...
Suddenly, a series of bells echoed in the air.
"It’s already been three days..."
Luo Cheng had been immersed in cultivation and hadn’t realized how quickly time flew.
Still, this journey to the Washing Body Pond and the gains achieved had far exceeded his expectations.
Not only did his cultivation break through seven minor realms, advancing to the Third Layer Peak of the Awakening Vein Realm!
His long-stalled Xuanyuan Technique had also reached the First Level.
His physical strength and power had improved dramatically!
With all three combined, his strength had skyrocketed, improving more than tenfold since he entered!
Smiling faintly, Luo Cheng stood up from the pool.
It was time to leave.
"Hmm!"
As his gaze swept across the pool, Luo Cheng was suddenly startled.
The dense mist over the Washing Body Pond had dissipated greatly, and not just that—the color of the pond water had faded significantly.
The core area that was originally dark red now only had a faint blood hue, and the outer areas even appeared somewhat clear.
Luo Cheng sensed carefully and immediately realized that the Essence Energy and kingly will within the Washing Body Pond had weakened considerably.
Especially the willpower—it was almost nonexistent.
"This... How should this even be explained..."
Luo Cheng was both astonished and helpless.
This was undoubtedly caused by the force of his earlier swallowing ability.
He hadn’t expected a casual action to result in such a dramatic shift.
"Let this unfold step by step."
Luo Cheng brushed off the thought—after all, there were no witnesses.
Should anyone trace this back, he would simply deny it to his last breath.
Leaving the cavern, Luo Cheng stepped up the staircase.
Outside the Refining Body Hall.
When the bells tolled, Yuan Qianyu and others were already waiting outside the hall.
"Why hasn’t he come out yet? Could it be that brat wasn’t inside at all!"
Yuan Qianyu grew impatient as Luo Cheng continued to delay.
However, with Elder Li watching nearby, he didn’t dare barge in.
At that moment, the sound of footsteps echoed.
Luo Cheng stepped out from the hall, his figure tall and straight, a sword hanging at his waist. His eyes were exceedingly bright, carrying a subtle killing aura.
He had already activated the Primordial Breath Technique to conceal his presence. Yet, while his own aura could be suppressed, the boundless killing aura infused within him by the kingly will couldn’t fade away so quickly.
"Hmm!"
Elder Li, who had been hunched over, turned to look at Luo Cheng. His slightly clouded pupils gleamed with sharp brilliance, tinged with a mysterious light.
"Luo Cheng, you’ve finally come out!"
Yuan Qianyu strode forward with tiger-like momentum.
Zhu Lingmei cast a probing glance at Luo Cheng, her bright eyes revealing a trace of doubt.
As a swordsman, he keenly sensed that Luo Cheng carried an unusually heavy killing aura, as though he had just experienced a life-and-death battle.
"Luo Cheng, did you run into trouble?"
Luo Cheng glanced at Yuan Qianyu and shook his head: "Nothing happened."
Yuan Qianyu sneered coldly: "What were you doing in there for so long? The Washing Body Pond yields the best results only on the first entry—it’s not about prolonged stays. Any time beyond that is just a futile waste."
"With your aptitude, even a year in there wouldn’t suffice for you to breach two minor realms!"
Two other Inner Sect core disciples burst into laughter.
"Is that so?"
A trace of sharpness flickered through Luo Cheng’s brows as his gaze landed on Yuan Qianyu.
He had already discerned that Yuan Qianyu had grown significantly stronger than before, having reached the Sixth Level of Awakening Vein Realm, ascending three minor realms.
Yuan Qianyu arched a brow and sneered coldly:
"Enough talk! Don’t forget our agreement. Today, you and I will battle—winner proves their worth. Loser agrees they’re trash and will retreat three steps upon seeing the other!"
