“For other martial artists, even if they obtain the Dragon Pearl, it would be very difficult to reach the Supreme Extreme Realm of the Earth Extreme Realm. However, you have reached the Supreme Extremity Realm in both the Yellow Extremity Realm and the Xuan Extremity Realm, so it will be easier for you to reach the Supreme Extremity Realm of the Earth Extremity Realm.”
The Golden Dragon’s voice kept echoing in Zhang Ruochen’s ears.
On the ground, the thirty-metre long crack slowly closed, emitting a “humming” sound.
At the same time, the huge corpse of the golden dragon sank into the depths of the ground, about to disappear from the world forever.
The golden dragon’s holy soul body also began to gradually dissipate, starting from the feet, legs, waist and abdomen, turning into a grain of golden light.
The Golden Dragon’s face always wore a smile, and did not feel sad because it was about to disappear into the earth, saying, “In that dragon body of mine, there are only a total of seven drops of Holy Dragon’s blood left, and all of them have already been pumped into the bodies of those friends of yours, and when the dragon’s blood fuses with theirs, they will naturally be able to awaken. When they have completely absorbed the dragon blood, it should be able to make their physique, improve by a large margin!”
For some reason, Zhang Ruochen, who was clearly refining the dragon pearl, felt a wave of desolation and sadness, and a crystal tear flowed from the corner of his eye.
“Zhang Ruochen, you need not grieve. All the demise in the world just means a new beginning ……”
After saying this, the Golden Dragon’s Saint Soul completely dispersed, turning into a speck of light.
After the curling echoes disappeared, the entire world, it seemed, was completely quiet.
Zhang Ruochen’s body couldn’t move, even his eyelids couldn’t be opened, the heavy dragon pearl pressed down on his heart, and only by continuously refining it could he resist its power.
At this moment, even though he wanted to let out a cry and pray for the golden dragon not to leave, he simply couldn’t do it.
He had just met an elder from 800 years ago, but in the blink of an eye, he had to part forever.
The Golden Dragon said that ninety-nine per cent of the power inside the dragon pearl had been absorbed by the Sharizi, but even if only one per cent of the power was left behind, it was still immense.
If Zhang Ruochen’s power was compared to a drop of water. Then, the power within the dragon pearl was a vast ocean.
One must know that the Golden Dragon had once refined the Sherry Seed, becoming a top powerhouse on par with the Buddha Emperor, and was many times more powerful than the average Saint.
Not to mention the dragon bead he left behind, even a drop of dragon blood he left behind would be a treasure that half-saints and saints would fight over.
The golden dragon bead, suspended in Zhang Ruochen’s heart, washed the dragon bead with every flow of blood, carrying part of the power of the dragon bead and surging into every cell of Zhang Ruochen’s entire body.
With every operation of the true qi, the power of the dragon pearl would also follow the flow of the true qi to every meridian in the body, growing Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation.
Half an hour later.
Zhang Ruochen’s martial cultivation reached the peak of the Earth Extremity Realm Grand Circle, and the true qi in the sea of qi reached absolute perfection.
On the walls of the Qi Sea, divine light shone brightly, presenting a single divine imprint that intertwined a metaphysical pattern.
After another three days of refining and absorption, Zhang Ruochen’s fleshly physique continued to strengthen, the blood in his entire body was like gold and mercury, his flesh and blood looked like it had been transformed into cast gold, and a dragon pattern seemed to emerge on the surface of his skin.
Strengthened by the power of the dragon pearl, Zhang Ruochen’s fleshly physique had reached a level that could compete with a Heavenly Extremity Realm Minor Extremity Position martial artist in one fell swoop, which could be considered the extreme of the Earth Extremity Realm.
However, Zhang Ruochen still hadn’t reached the Supreme Extreme Realm, and it seemed that he was still a hair’s breadth away from the Supreme Extreme Realm.
It seemed to be just a thread away, but it was like a chasm that could never be crossed.
From ancient times to the present day, I don’t know how many people had been blocked by this line, never reaching the Supreme Extreme Realm.
“One must reach the Supreme Extreme Realm, one must reach the strongest realm of the Earth Extreme Realm.”
Zhang Ruochen clenched his teeth and tried to suppress his realm as he continued to refine the Dragon Pearl, absorbing the power of the Holy Dragon within.
Another three days passed, and with the help of the Holy Dragon’s power, Zhang Ruochen’s originally traumatised Martial Soul was completely healed, and it was still growing stronger.
After absorbing the Holy Dragon’s power, the Martial Soul even turned golden as well, doubling in size, and rushed out from Zhang Ruochen’s body like a golden soul spirit, hovering above Zhang Ruochen’s head.
Gradually, Zhang Ruochen’s body floated up, suspended in mid-air, and a “clicking” sound resounded within his body. ……
Suddenly, a loud bang came out from Zhang Ruochen’s body.
An incomparably strong aura erupted from Zhang Ruochen’s body, sweeping across the entire underground square.
That force, as if it had broken some sort of boundary between heaven and earth, caused the surrounding heaven and earth aura to quickly surge towards him, condensing into a pillar of light above his head.
A pillar of light that shot up into the sky.
Ancient deities seemed to be awakened, condensing into a single silhouette and emitting distant and sacred heavenly sounds.
The gods resonated with the supreme extreme.
“Wow!”
Those deity silhouettes transformed into grains of light and flew towards the pillar of light, following it towards Zhang Ruochen’s brow qi sea, above the qi sea wall, leaving behind a single deity imprint.
The shadows of the gods induced by the three times of the gods’ resonance overlapped each other, causing the imprints to become deeper and deeper, like a divine spirit bilocation imprinted on Zhang Ruochen’s Qi Sea.
Now, as long as Zhang Ruochen introduced his true qi into the Qi Sea, the power of the Gods’ imprints would be able to raise those true qi to the purest quality.
The purer the true qi was, the stronger the power of the martial skill that was executed would be.
Because of the third Resonance of the Gods, Zhang Ruochen’s martial soul and spiritual power had both increased by a large margin.
Especially the spiritual power, which had reached the thirty-ninth rank, if it was raised by one more rank, Zhang Ruochen would be able to transform his spiritual power into his own power and use it to attack his enemies.
If he really reached that step, Zhang Ruochen’s strength would enter a whole new level.
“Since I’ve already reached the supreme extremity of the Earth Extreme Realm, I’ll make a big push to hit the early stage of the Heavenly Extreme Realm.”
Among the thirty-six meridians that Zhang Ruochen had opened up, there was a strange vein called the “Blood Spirit Vein”.
The so-called Blood Spirit Vein was a meridian that was connected to blood.
Like the Soul Vein, the Blood Spirit Vein was also an invisible and untouchable meridian, even Zhang Ruochen could only feel a faint sense of Qi.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen was trying to make the Blood Spirit Vein connect with the Dragon Pearl in his heart, borrowing the power of the Dragon Pearl to impact to the Heavenly Extremity Realm in one go.
About two hours later, Zhang Ruochen managed to capture the Blood Spirit Vein.
He carefully controlled the Blood Spirit Vein, winding it towards the Dragon Pearl and wrapping it up.
As time passed, the Blood Spirit Vein connected with the Dragon Bead.
Zhang Ruochen operated his gong method and began to absorb the power of the Holy Dragon, and the true qi in his body, became thicker and thicker.
After roughly five days of absorption, the true qi in Zhang Ruochen’s sea of qi unexpectedly began to contract and condensed into a drop of golden true essence.
The gaseous true qi had unexpectedly turned into a liquid state.
Then came the second drop, the third drop ……
As he kept refining, Zhang Ruochen transformed his entire body’s true qi into twelve drops of true essence.
Of course the true qi was completely transformed into true essence, which meant that Zhang Ruochen stepped into the Heavenly Extreme Realm.
The twelve drops of true essence, suspended in the sea of qi, were like twelve bright liquid stars.
“When other martial artists reach the early stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm, most of them can only condense one drop of true essence, or two drops of true essence. I broke through to the early stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm and was actually able to condense twelve drops of true essence.”
Zhang Ruochen’s heart was very joyful, knowing that even in his previous life, when he broke through to the early stage of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, he had only managed to condense eight drops of True Yuan.
The more True Yuan that was condensed out, it also proved that the wider a martial artist’s Qi Sea was, able to hold more True Yuan than other martial artists.
This was because, after reaching the Heavenly Extremity Realm, a martial artist’s Qi Sea would be fixed and would not expand any further.
The entire Qi Sea, became empty, with only the twelve drops of true essence still slowly absorbing the power of the Holy Dragon that came from the meridians, growing in strength and starting to condense the thirteenth drop of true essence.
After reaching the early stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm, Zhang Ruochen’s amount of True Qi had increased tenfold.
Each drop of true essence contained true qi equivalent to the sum of Zhang Ruochen’s true qi at the Earth Extreme Realm Supreme Extreme Realm.
“Breaking through the Supreme Extremity Realm and impacting the Heavenly Extremity Realm, surprisingly, only consumed a very small amount of power from the Dragon Pearl. Senior Golden Dragon’s cultivation is truly unfathomable, even if the Dragon Pearl only has one percent of its power left, it is still more powerful than the power of a Half Saint. With the help of the Dragon Pearl, my cultivation speed can far exceed that of other martial artists until I become a Saint.”
Zhang Ruochen slowly raised his arm, and from his true essence, he transferred a strand of true qi, pinched the four fingers of his left hand, leaving out his thumb, and pointed out with a single finger.
“Solar Chakra Sword Wave.”
A bowl-thick sword wave flew out from Zhang Ruochen’s fingertip, emitting a scorching wave of air, like a majestic light of flames, striking the distant stone wall.
“Rumble!”
The stone wall was attacked, and a wisp of formation inscription immediately surfaced, blocking that sword wave.
Even so, the entire underground square still shook violently.
If the power of the Solar Pulse Sword Wave hadn’t been blocked by the formation, I’m afraid that the place would have collapsed.
The Solar Pulse Sword Wave was still only at the realm of small accomplishment.
However, because Zhang Ruochen had broken through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm, the power of that sword wave just now was more than thirty times more powerful than before.
With different realms, the power of the same martial skill was naturally different.
If Zhang Ruochen were to encounter the Red Desire Star Envoy again, she would not be able to catch just a single Sword Wave of a minor accomplishment striking out.
Zhang Ruochen looked towards Huang Yichen, Si Xingkong, Chang Qiqi, and Duanmu Xingling and found that they were still as golden statues, motionless and had not awakened.
“It’s just the right time to take this opportunity to cultivate the five Yin Vein Sword Waves in my right hand.”
The Dragon Tomb, being a place of extreme Yin, was an excellent place to cultivate Yin Vein Sword Waves.
With the addition of Zhang Ruochen’s current breakthrough to the Heavenly Extremity Realm, he would be able to cultivate martial skills ten times faster than before, and should soon be able to cultivate the five Yin Vein Sword Waves to a great completion.
Of the five Yin Vein Sword Waves, the Tai Yin Vein Sword Wave, Tai Vein Sword Wave, Middle Spirit Vein Sword Wave, and Tai Abyssal Vein Sword Wave had all reached the Minor Achievement Realm, with only the Lesser Condensation Vein Sword Wave remaining at the Introductory Realm.
Let’s start cultivating from the Lesser Condensation Vein Sword Wave.
This does not count as a charge: (I see many readers are discussing the issue of the “supreme realm”, so I’d like to say a few words about it. In fact, the design of the “supreme realm”, because I saw a piece of news, “Su Bingtian, Asia’s first man in the 100 metres in the race into the ten seconds”.
In the past, no local Asian athlete was able to run 10 seconds in an official international race. Even Europe and the United States said it was impossible for an Asian man to reach ten seconds.
Asian athletes, there are many people once reached ten seconds zero six, ten seconds zero eight …… Unfortunately, until this year, there is a person really into ten seconds, the result is nine seconds nine.
So, when I wrote the book, I added a “supreme state” into it. Just like the limit of “100 metres and ten seconds”, countless people can be close to that limit, but those who can reach it are very rare.
