Zhang Ruochen entered the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram and sat on the shore of a turquoise-coloured lake, taking out the Green Dragon Thorn and resting it in the palms of his two hands as he prepared to start refining the Dragon Soul.
“Puffing.”
Zhang Ruochen’s hands injected Holy Qi, into the Green Dragon Thorn.
“Ow!”
The nineteen-segmented bone spines, emitting a greenish-coloured light, condensed into a tens of feet long dragon shadow, as if it was coming to life, snaking and coiling in mid-air, emitting a low dragon roar.
“What a powerful dragon soul, if I refine it, my cultivation, too, should rise by a large margin, and perhaps, I will be able to impact the peak of Second Stage Half-Saint ahead of schedule.”
Zhang Ruochen’s hands, cupped into claw shapes, tightly grasped the Green Dragon Thorn, preventing it from escaping.
“Wow!”
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword flew out, transforming into a black sword light that swung out and struck the centre of the Green Dragon Thorn.
With a snap, a crack surfaced on the surface of the Green Dragon Thorn.
The dragon soul within the Green Dragon Thorn, sensing the threat, erupted with a powerful force, shaking away Zhang Ruochen’s hands and flying out.
“Could it be that the interior of the Green Dragon Thorn was really a Saint realm dragon soul?”
Zhang Ruochen was secretly shocked, looking at the Green Dragon Thorn that flew away towards the sky, moving his very painful fingers. With that, he stood up.
The dragon soul that the Blood Dragon Prince had refined into his body was merely a low-grade Half Saint realm dragon soul.
The gap between a Half Saint realm dragon soul and a Saint realm dragon soul was like the gap between a Half Saint and a Saint, one was on the ground and the other was in the sky, it was simply impossible to describe it in words.
The most important point was that the Saint realm’s dragon soul possessed partial spiritual intelligence, capable of automatically absorbing heaven and earth’s spiritual qi, and within the interior of the Green Dragon Spur, it would build up its strength and explode into a very powerful force.
“Wow!”
Zhang Ruochen controlled the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, dragging out thousands of sword qi as it flew out once again, quickly catching up with the Green Dragon Thorn and slashing out thirteen more power chops in a row, attacking one after another.
With each sword fall, the cracks of the Green Dragon Thorn, would increase by several.
When the thirteenth sword fell, only a bang could be heard as the Green Dragon Thorn shattered and opened, and pieces of fist-sized dragon bones flew in all directions.
“Ow!”
A green-coloured dragon soul, flew out, reaching more than seventy feet in length, coiled in the void, staring at Zhang Ruochen below, saying, “Human, thank you for releasing this Saint, in order to repay your gratitude, this Saint has decided to take over your physical body.”?The Dragon Soul began to mobilise the aura of the heavens and earth, converging towards its body, causing the body of the Dragon Soul, which was still rather shallow, to become more and more solid.
At the same time, a huge aura erupted out, causing the sky to be covered in dark clouds, thunder and lightning, and howling winds.
Zhang Ruochen stood on the ground, appearing rather calm as he said, “Would it be too whimsical to try to take over my physical body just by virtue of a dragon soul?”
“Even though this Saint’s strength is nowhere near as strong as it was in its heyday, it’s still more than enough to deal with a human at the Second Stage Half-Saint realm.”
The Dragon Spirit swooped down, extending a pair of gigantic dragon claws to strike at Zhang Ruochen’s head.
The two dragon claws, emitting dense lightning, formed two balls of electricity ten feet in diameter, pinning Zhang Ruochen’s body, in the centre.
Zhang Ruochen gently shook his head and silently chanted, “Born Scale Transformation Dragon.”
“Wow!”?A golden glow completely enveloped Zhang Ruochen’s body.
In the next moment, an even more gigantic golden divine dragon rushed out from the centre of the golden glow, tearing apart the two balls of electricity.
The golden dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the dragon soul of the green dragon, into its stomach.
It flew round in mid-air and rushed downwards, its body rapidly shrinking, and when it landed on the ground, it finally condensed into a humanoid body.
Since, it had already swallowed the dragon soul into its belly, the first step was to completely tame and subdue the dragon soul.
The Saint realm’s dragon soul, which was very powerful, rampaged through Zhang Ruochen’s body, wanting to break through his body and escape.
However, Zhang Ruochen possessed the Five Elements Chaotic Body, and his body was a sea of chaos, so no matter how much the dragon soul charged, it couldn’t hurt him one bit.
It took half a month for Zhang Ruochen to completely tame the dragon soul, and from his mouth, he spat it out and held it in the palm of his left hand.
The original seventy-odd feet long Green Dragon Sacred Soul had become only half a foot long, but of course, it was still possible to feel, the huge aura emanating from the dragon soul.
“In order to refine the tenth palm of the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm, one must first melt the dragon soul in the arm of the left hand and the elephant soul in the arm of the right hand.”
In the palm of Zhang Ruochen’s left hand, a crimson flame surged out, wrapping the Green Dragon Sacred Soul in it, and gradually, the Dragon Soul merged into the left arm.
Of course, it was only a preliminary fusion now.
If one wanted to truly refine the Dragon Soul, then the Dragon Soul, must be completely fused with the bones, muscles, meridians, and blood of Zhang Ruochen’s left arm.
This step was also the most difficult step.
However, once it was successful, then, Zhang Ruochen’s left arm would transform into a Green Dragon Arm, and his power would increase wildly by several times.
“Boom!”
Zhang Ruochen’s left arm, unable to withstand the mighty power of a Saint Realm Dragon Soul, appeared with a streak of blood and directly crumbled away, becoming a bloody mess.
The first fusion failed.
A heart-breaking pain travelled from the wound in his arm to his brain, causing beads of bean-sized sweat to emerge on Zhang Ruochen’s face.
Zhang Ruochen clenched his teeth and wasn’t given up, and after his arm wound healed, he immediately proceeded with the second fusion.
“Boom!”
The second time also failed, the arm once again crumbled, and even the meridians and bones almost broke, looking extremely miserable.
The fusion process was quite treacherous, if one was not careful, Zhang Ruochen’s left arm, would be ruined.
Next, it was the third time, the fourth time, and the fifth time ……
With each failure, after the injury healed, Zhang Ruochen’s left arm would become even tougher, until the twelfth fusion, which finally succeeded in one fell swoop.
“Giggle!”
Zhang Ruochen’s five fingers pinched, and all the pores of his left arm, all of them, opened up, crazily absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Because the absorption was so fast, a huge vortex of aura was actually formed.
Zhang Ruochen’s legs stomped and catapulted up, flying all the way up to a hundred feet high, and then, rushing downwards at an even faster speed.
With the palm of his left hand, he pressed towards the ground.
The earth, immediately collapsed downwards, emitting a loud rumbling sound, forming a large handprint pit with a diameter of over two hundred metres.
Around the large pit, dirt piled up and transformed into a small hill.
Zhang Ruochen withdrew his power and landed on the ground, looking at his palm, he said, “I haven’t yet succeeded in cultivating the 10th palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, and it can already erupt with such a powerful force, wouldn’t it be even more formidable if I were to succeed in cultivating it?”
Zhang Ruochen was even more looking forward to successfully cultivating the tenth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ruochen checked his cultivation level again and noticed that the Saint Qi in his body was like ten thousand dragons rushing about, and he had indeed reached the peak of the Second Grade Semi-Saint.
As long as he bought the Third Grade Saint Elemental Pill, he could attempt to impact the Third Order Half-Saint realm. At that time, his battle power would be even higher.
In the following time, Zhang Ruochen went to a cultivation city in the middle of the Scroll World and personally lectured the first generation disciples of the Ming Sect.
Not only that, he also specially taught each disciple different top cultivation techniques based on their different physiques.
Zhang Ruochen had read a large number of canonical books, and the techniques that he imparted to them were naturally all at the top level, with the lowest being Ghost Grade Upper Grade.
Some of the disciples with higher qualifications were even given king level gong methods.
As long as their cultivation, reached the Fish Dragon Realm, they would be able to change their cultivation techniques.
Receiving a first-class cultivation technique naturally mobilised their enthusiasm for cultivation to a great extent, with everyone wanting to reach the Fish Dragon Realm as soon as possible.
Only after all this was done did Zhang Ruochen exit the Scroll World and once again, appeared on Little Black’s back.
Zhang Ruochen put away the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram and asked, “Little Blackie, how much longer until we reach the Blood God Sect’s territory?”
“It should arrive before nightfall.”
After flying for eight days and eight nights in a row, even Little Black was a bit exhausted, and he was breathless when he spoke.
“Rather, there is still some time left.”
Zhang Ruochen sat down and from his spatial ring, took out a booklet.
This booklet, which was given to him by Murong Yue, contained all the information about the Blood Dragon Duke.
Since, Zhang Ruochen had decided to disguise himself as the Blood Dragon Duke and infiltrate into the Blood God Sect, he naturally had to familiarise himself with all of the contents on top of the booklet.
“Blood Dragon Duke, sixty-eight years old, named Gu Linfeng, vicious mind, brutal character, greedy for beauty ……?”?After Zhang Ruochen finished reading the content on top of the pamphlet, he immediately kept shaking his head and smiled, saying, “This Blood Dragon Duke is truly a complete villain, with only one merit, his own physique is quite powerful, and he is considered to be a natural cultivation wizard.”
With his cultivation of the 9th Fish Dragon Transformation, the Blood Dragon Duke could burst out with a battle power comparable to a first rank Half Saint, which proved that he was a few points more powerful than a Saint Body.
If he hadn’t been too lazy, coupled with indulging in .Excessive Lust, then, there was definitely more than the current cultivation level.
In Zhang Ruochen’s palm, he released a ball of holy qi, crushing the pamphlet into pieces and waving it in midair.
Arriving at the outskirts of the Blood God Sect’s territory, Zhang Ruochen allowed Little Black to land on the ground and enter a jungle.
Xiao Hei’s eyes darted around and said, “Zhang Ruochen, this Emperor has thought of something. With Lord Blood Dragon’s cultivation, it is absolutely impossible for him to escape the Blood God Sect, from Yuanfu, in only eight days. The people of the Blood God Cult will definitely find out the cracks as soon as they go to investigate.”?”There will be no breakage.”
Zhang Ruochen took out a roll of holy decree and cupped it in his hand as he said, “On Prince Blood Dragon’s body, there is a roll of holy decree personally bestowed by Venerable Lord Sea Underworld. With the power of the holy decree, the Blood Dragon Prince is enough to escape to the Blood God Sect within eight days.”
In Zhang Ruochen’s hand was that scroll of holy decree.
Only, the holy power in the holy decree had long been exhausted.
Taking the holy decree with him, Zhang Ruochen rushed straight towards the Blood God Sect’s territory.
The Blood God Sect was not like the Two Elemental Sect, when Zhang Ruochen was lurking in the Two Elemental Sect, even if it was dangerous, at least there was still Ancestor Taiyi who was secretly helping him. Moreover, the Two Element Sect was also a famous sect, so it wasn’t too dangerous.
The Blood God Sect was different, it was a place where evil demons converged, and there was no one to help him, so if he was not careful, he would be doomed.
Hence, this time, Zhang Ruochen was extra cautious.
Before stepping into the Blood God Sect’s territory, he first injured himself severely, disguising, and adding to his injuries due to the long hours of desperate rushing.
