Chapter 76 - Crisis Descends
"Oh my G.o.d, what did you say? Brother Lei, you … Unexpectedly... has already swallowed a Dragonheart Fruit, this is unbelievable! " Seeing that Lei Yang was fine, Zhang Qing immediately opened his eyes wide, as if he was looking at a monster. He stared at Lei Yang, and his mouth formed an O.
"Brother Zhang, why are you reacting this way? Is there something wrong with me?" Lei Yang was even more suspicious.
This shock lasted for several breaths of time, and then Zhang Qing finally said, "This Dragonheart Fruit grows on a Dragon-scaled Tree. Legend has it that it is formed from the blood essence of an ancient True Dragon. A thousand years of blooming and ten thousand years of fruiting were rare treasures in this world, extremely rare.
Because this fruit contained the supreme blood qi of a True Dragon, it was a rare treasure used by cultivators to refine their body and marrow.
However, a True Dragon was one of the most powerful races in the world. Even after a long period of time, after being diluted by the Dragon Scale Tree, the dragon's blood energy contained within the Dragon's Heart Fruit was very faint.
Therefore, cultivators were not allowed to directly consume the Dragonheart Fruit. Instead, they were required to open up a small hole the size of a needle and slowly absorb it.
There are two reasons for doing so. The first is to maximize the effectiveness of the Dragonheart Fruit, and the second is to prevent your body from exploding because of the dragon's extremely strong blood energy. And you actually swallowed the Dragonheart Fruit, and … "I'm safe and sound …" This … It was simply … No …. "How incredible!"
"Quick, let me take a look!" The more Zhang Qing spoke, the weirder his expression became. Lei Yang felt that the fellow was getting weirder and weirder, in the end he was looking at Zhang Qing's body with eyes glowing with a gold light, as if he was admiring a treasure.
Moreover, regardless of whether Lei Yang was willing or not, the moment he stepped forward, he felt his way through Lei Yang's body, causing him to be stunned and unable to endure it any longer.
Lei Yang was naturally familiar with this gaze. Along the way, that fellow looked at the heavenly resources that he had set his eyes on, this was the look he had in his eyes.
He silently cursed in his heart before hastily coughing dryly, saying, "Brother Zhang, what are you..."
"Oh, hehe!" Zhang Qing suddenly came back to his senses. He took a step back, cupped his hands, and said, "Congratulations, Brother Lei!" To cover up his own embarra.s.sment.
"To be able to withstand the power of the Dragonheart Fruit's blood vitality, this sort of body definitely isn't inferior at all. Brother Lei, congratulations on reaching the initial level of your precious body!" Zhang Qing looked at Lei Yang with a sincere face.
"d.a.m.n, this is also a reason. This is obviously to find a way out of this predicament!" Lei Yang obviously did not believe him, but he had no choice but to give the other party a way around. He cupped his fists in return and quickly changed the topic. Brother Zhang, do you have a way to refine this Dragonheart Fruit? "
Zhang Qing was also a smart person, if there was a chance, he would naturally take it as a chance, but his congratulations were not as Lei Yang had thought, but it was true. He only felt guilty for his actions earlier, and seeing the chance to change the topic, he quickly replied: "Of course there is!" A smug look immediately appeared in his eyes.
Inside the cave, Lei Yang also quickly touched his beating heart, and as he watched Zhang Qing's back as he left, he thought to himself: "Oh my G.o.d, that guy shouldn't have that kind of …. Hobby! Why didn't we notice it before? "
Just as this thought appeared in his mind, gooseb.u.mps fell all over. He hurriedly shook his head and started to train according to Zhang Qing's method.
… ….
Even as the two of them were trying their best to raise their cultivation bases, days of slaughter and wild medicinal pills thrown out by the demonic beasts caused countless innocent cultivators to lose their lives in this gray area.
The entire secret realm was like a huge, eerie mouth that devoured life, continuously chewing and harvesting the life that entered. After that, there was an invisible life force that constantly gathered and gathered at the Dragon Abyss at the center of the large tomb.
As they continued to kill, the rogue cultivators that seemed to be able to survive began to realize the strangeness of this secret realm. From all sorts of channels, they also understood some of the secrets regarding the Dragon Abyss's Heavenly Dragon Qi.
As a result, as the number of secret realm cultivators dwindled, the hidden experts also gradually surfaced, causing the situation within the tomb to become clearer and clearer.
Amongst the cultivators, there was even a name that spread across the rankings - Heavenly Dragon Ranking.
Each of the four great sects occupied two of the top ten spots on the list. The remaining two people were rogue cultivators who did not belong to any sect.
Since the various Rankers had yet to fight face to face, even though there were top ten rankings, they were not actually ranked, and each faction's power was extremely large, with a clear goal, thus, before the Dragon Abyss, they all intentionally avoided meeting each other too early.
They all knew that once they met, it would be a battle of life and death. If they used up all of their energy, no matter which side obtained the final victory, they would have to pay a huge price to have the other three fight. No one wanted to see such a thing happen.
Just like this, the parties gradually approached the Dragon Abyss according to their a.s.signed route. None of them surpa.s.sed their respective boundaries, and the entire Dragon Abyss seemed to have temporarily entered a quiet state.
In this serenity, there was an even more earth-shattering killing intent hidden. When all the parties arrive at the Dragon Abyss and the Heavenly Dragon Qi is complete, this storm that seemed to contain raging waves and gale will unreservedly erupt.
As he diligently trained, time pa.s.sed by very quickly. Inside the cave, Lei Yang closed his eyes and when he reopened them, ten days had already quietly pa.s.sed.
During these ten days, he constantly refined the Dragonheart Fruit according to Zhang Qing's instructions, causing his body to undergo a tremendous change.
The b.l.o.o.d.y face's tattoo continued to absorb the vast amount of vitality within the Dragonheart Fruit, and the tremendous amount of vitality continued to refine his fleshly body, causing the strength of his fleshly body to reach the peak of the ninth level of spirit energy.
Zhang Qing's method was effective, and had indeed made use of the value of the Dragonheart Fruit to the greatest extent. Lei Yang felt that this time, he had absorbed a lot more blood and life force, but he hesitated a little, so it did not leave any hidden dangers for his body.
Strangely, such a strong life force had only increased the strength of his body to the peak of the ninth level. If he wanted to make a breakthrough, he would need a much stronger life force. As for the b.l.o.o.d.y face tattoo, it had been silently absorbing the boundless Qi and blood the entire time, and it seemed to have some faint fluctuations from its cultivation.
Lei Yang had heard before that there were cultivators that could dual cultivate in the Primordial Era, and often, their bodies would break through the Spiritual Source first. Inadvertently, Lei Yang had gradually walked the path of dual cultivation of this kind of body cultivation.
Time pa.s.sed by in a flash. Eight days had pa.s.sed, and due to the fact that he was becoming more and more familiar with the process, the process became more and more smooth. Lei Yang's speed of refinement also increased by quite a bit, and there were indeed huge changes to his body as well.
Although the change was huge, he still had not broken through the peak of the ninth level of spirit energy. However, the boundless life force that had been continuously absorbed into his body, in the end, was no longer baptizing and forging his flesh, but was acc.u.mulating it, as though his body had reached a certain limit in strength, and when the life force in his body reached a point where it could explode, it would explode and break open the invisible door at the peak of the ninth level of spirit energy. And beyond that door, was the vast world of Spiritual Source.
… ….
He was just about to get up and check if it was the fellow inside the cave, who was eating too much and had a problem, when suddenly, the sound of wind breaking came from the distant sky.
A few rays of sword lights filled with a powerful aura came from far away, whistling through the air at an incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, five azure figures appeared, standing in front of Zhang Qing.
The five of them were all wearing green robes and carried an ancient looking azure sword on their backs. Two were women and three were men, both around the age of twenty. As they descended, they coldly looked at Zhang Qing.
This was especially true for the 30 year old cultivator at the front. His entire body was filled with a sharp aura as his cultivation base spread out in all directions. It made people feel as if he was a sharp sword that made them tremble with fear.
When he looked carefully, he found that the other party was also sizing him up. And in the other party's eyes, it was also at this moment that a smile appeared.
However, when Zhang Qing saw that smiling face, his heart thumped loudly. An intense feeling of danger suddenly arose from the bottom of his heart.
Because in front of him was a face that he would never want to see again in his life. It was a face that was both familiar and foreign to him …
