“The Eastern Domain Divine Soil, hides crouching tigers and dragons, with a multitude of human heroes, and a multitude of holy sects. There, if you don’t become a Saint, you’re just an ant after all.”
Lei Jing sighed again, “That’s why you all must lower yourselves this time when you head to the Eastern Domain Divine Soil, because it’s definitely much more difficult to enter the Sacred Courtyard than you can imagine. Of course, you all have a great chance of obtaining a drop of dragon blood from Senior Golden Dragon, and with that alone, you have a great chance of entering the Holy Academy.”
Lei Jing’s words were clearly stated.
The meaning was, if you guys hadn’t obtained a drop of the Golden Dragon’s dragon blood, you want to enter the Holy Academy?
Dream on!
In recent times, Duanmu Xingling, Si Xingkong, and Chang Qiqi had all been refining the dragon’s blood, and all of them had made tremendous progress. Just by sitting there, a faint dragon aura emanated from their bodies, the bones in their bodies even grew dragon tattoos, and even their mental temperament underwent a drastic change.
Although they could not be called “dragons and phoenixes among men”, they could already be called “phoenixes and linchpins”.
Those who didn’t know about it would think that they were the outstanding heirs trained by the Saint Clan.
Zhang Ruochen’s progress was of course even greater than theirs, except that Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power was so strong that he could already perfectly restrain his aura, instead giving off a bland feeling of returning to the basics.
Even Lei Jing could not see his true strength.
The Eastern Domain Earth, was indeed quite vast, like it was boundless, even with the speed of the Dragon Eagle, after flying for half a month, they had only just reached the edge of the Eastern Domain Sacred Earth.
It was still quite far from their destination, the Eastern Domain Holy City.
The so-called “Eastern Region Divine Land” occupied 70% of the Eastern Region’s territory, and was also the richest place, with spiritual mountains spread all over the place, and clans standing everywhere, the human race had already flourished for many thousands of years on this piece of land, leaving behind many sacred monuments.
The crowd continued to refine the dragon’s blood, all of them wanting to raise their strength as much as possible before the Sacred Academy Examination.
Zhang Ruochen, on the other hand, was cultivating the five Yang-attribute sword waves in the “Ten Veins Sword Waves”, and with his current spiritual power, the speed of cultivating martial arts was naturally quite fast.
After the last half a month of cultivation, he had already cultivated the Sun Chakra Sword Wave, Taixu Chakra Sword Wave, Zhongchong Chakra Sword Wave, and Tianchi Chakra Sword Wave to the Grand Completion Realm.
Now, there was only the Shao Ze Vein Sword Wave left, which was still stuck at the Small Completion Realm.
The Ten Veins Sword Wave, although it was only a Spirit Grade Upper Grade martial skill, but by cultivating all ten veins to the Grand Completion, one would be able to have ten fingers penetrate through them, increasing their power greatly, and metamorphosing into a Ghost Grade Lower Grade martial skill.
Even a Fish Dragon Realm martial artist could immediately become an expert in the Fish Dragon Realm if they were able to cultivate a Ghost Grade Lower Grade martial skill.
For Earth Extreme Realm martial artists and Heaven Extreme Realm martial artists to learn a Ghost Grade Lower Grade martial skill, it could be said to be as difficult as climbing into the sky.
Of course there were exceptions, such as Emperor Yi, and the Seven Deadly Star Envoys. However, such heavenly figures were few and far between in the entire Eastern Domain.
The Dragon Eagle flew for roughly three more days, completely entering the Eastern Domain Divine Soil.
At dusk, in the sky, a sea of crimson fire appeared, with magnificent colours, giving people a stirring beauty.
At the very beginning, the crowd didn’t feel anything, only thinking it was the lingering evening sun.
However, as they got closer and closer, the colour of the sea of fire became more and more vivid, moreover, one could also see lightning and thunder in the sea of fire.
A giant wave of true qi, like a wave of water, surged over in the direction of the Dragon Eagle.
The giant wave of true qi contained a huge amount of heat, fortunately, Lei Jing released his true qi at the first opportunity to resist the impact of the giant wave of true qi.
Lei Jing’s eyes glared as he stood up boldly and said, “Everyone be careful, in front of us are human martial artists and savage beasts fighting.”
Without the need for Lei Jing to say more, everyone stood up and already saw the scene in that sea of fire.
Only to see that in the centre of the sea of fire, there was a large silver-coloured ship suspended, a few points more massive than even the Red Spider Giant Ship, obviously another flying-type top True Martial Treasure.
Thousands of fire crows with three legs surrounded the silver-coloured ship, constantly impacting the silver-coloured ship’s defensive formation, emitting a roar.
“That’s the third rank upper class savage beast ‘Red Blazing Crow’, to have thousands of them appear at once, it’s too terrifying!”Chang Qi Qi’s face turned a little pale.
The battle power of a Third Order Upper Grade Barbarian Beast was almost equivalent to the strength of an Earth Extremity Realm Grand Circle martial artist.
Thousands of Third Order Upper Grade Savage Beasts were thousands of Earth Extremity Realm Great Circle martial practitioners, so one could imagine what a terrifying savage beast colony that was.
No wonder the sky for hundreds of miles in a radius was red with flames, and even the ground, had turned into a burning fire plain.
The Red Blazing Crow has the bloodline of the ancient divine bird “Golden Crow”.
Therefore, even if the Red Blazing Crow is only a third-order savage beast, with the bloodline of the divine bird, as long as they cultivate hard, they will be able to grow into a fourth-order savage beast, fifth-order savage beast, or even a sixth-order savage beast, or a seventh-order savage beast.
The descendants of Divine Beasts and Divine Birds, their growth had no upper limit, and their potential was infinite.
Of course, there were very few savage beasts that could shed their transformation and advance, it could be said that they were one in a million, and the higher they advanced, the more difficult it became.
“Wow!”
Right at this moment, a golden light broke through the clouds.
In the sky, a round of blazing sun actually appeared.
It was already dusk, but all of a sudden, the sun shone brightly, as if time had turned back to noon.
The martial artists on top of that giant silver-coloured ship all revealed astonished expressions, and a young cadet exclaimed, “Look, two rounds of suns have appeared in the sky, one is about to set on the horizon, and the other is hanging right above our heads.”
“How could such a strange sight appear?”
Also on top of the silver coloured giant ship, an old man wearing a golden martial robe looked up and his face changed drastically as he said, “That’s not the sun, it’s a Red Blazing Crow King, which has already reached the level of a fifth-ranked upper class savage beast.”
The gold-robed old man looked to be in his sixties, with crane hair and rather high cheekbones, giving off a fierce feeling.
His name was He Yunlou, and his cultivation had already reached the Fish Dragon Realm.
Originally, even if they encountered thousands of Red Blazing Crows, with Crane Yunlou’s strength, coupled with the Silver Moon Ship’s defence formation, they could completely cope with it.
The appearance of the Red Blazing Crow King, however, caused He Yunlou’s heart to sink to the bottom.
He knew very well that it was impossible for the Silver Moon Ship’s defensive battle formation to hold back the Red Blazing Crow King. Once the formation was breached, with his strength, fighting the Red Blazing Crow King?
It was estimated that, at most, after exchanging three strikes, he would be slapped to death by the Red Blazing Crow King.
The difference was too great!
What should be done now?
He Yunlou’s heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, knowing that this time, he was bringing the thirty-seven Heaven’s Pride sons and Heaven’s Pride daughters from the Southern Cloud County Martial City Academy to the Eastern Region Holy City to participate in the Holy Academy Examination.
When he left Long Yun County, he had already patted his chest to the Palace Master to ensure that he would definitely be able to safely escort these talented and handsome people to the Holy Academy.
No one had expected that he would actually encounter a large group of Red Blazing Crows halfway, and that the Red Blazing Crow King would be startled and provoked out.
With his strength, even if he couldn’t defeat the Red Incandescent Crow King, he was still very sure of escaping safely.
However, what about the thirty-seven geniuses that the Martial City Palace had carefully cultivated? Each and every one of them came from extraordinary backgrounds, with backgrounds from large families and great clans, not just as simple as being genius trainees of the Academy Palace.
If all of them died here, even if He Yunlou escaped back, I’m afraid that he would be heavily punished, with half of his cultivation being wasted in the lesser case, and in the heavier case, he would be imprisoned for life.
“Why is my luck so bad?”
Beads of sweat rose straight from He Yunlou’s forehead as he thought hard about a solution.
Only, the methods he could think of were all rendered useless in the face of the Red Blazing Crow King’s absolute strength.
Originally, he thought that it was just a simple mission, not just escorting dozens of geniuses to the Holy City of the Eastern Region, with the power of the Martial Market Money Bank, who would dare to mess with it? Who would dare to mess with them? What danger could they encounter?
However, it happened to meet the Red Blazing Crow King.
On this occasion, the golden “sun” above the Silver Moon Ship fell down from above, emitting an ear-piercing chirp.
If one were to look carefully, one would find that within that golden ball of fire, there was a huge golden fire crow wrapped in it, almost identical to the legendary divine bird, the Golden Crow.
The Red Blazing Crow King launched an attack.
The golden giant claw, violently struck above the Silver Moon Ship’s defensive light shield, denting the light shield.
On the light shield, a circle of ripples appeared.
The two forces collided, forming a golden rain of fire that flew out in all directions.
“Boom!”
After only holding on for three breaths of time, the Silver Moon Ship’s defensive light shield was shattered by the Red Blazing Crow King, completely exposing it.
“Gah!”
Thousands of Red Incandescent Crows, immediately became excited and flew over in an overwhelming manner, launching attacks on the trainees of the Martial City Academy on the Silver Moon Ship.
“Boom boom!”
Those cadets on the Silver Moon Ship, all of them had Heavenly Extreme Realm cultivations, and moreover, their cultivations were high and their natural talent was outstanding, but they couldn’t stand up to the large number of Red Incandescent Crows.
In addition to the Red Incandescent Crow King and thousands of Red Incandescent Crows, there were also a number of not too many and not too few Fourth Order Savage Beast level Red Incandescent Crows, each of which was comparable to a Heavenly Extremity Realm Martial Artist level of strength.
Those talented trainees, fell into despair.
Some of them, who lacked practical combat experience, were so scared that they lost their colours and couldn’t help but lean towards one of the young men with the strongest cultivation.
That young man, named Zi Han Sha, looked to be in his twenties, with sword brows and starry eyes, very handsome, even when facing the Red Blazing Crow, he didn’t even frown at all, and took the initiative to meet up.
He was the number one strongest person of the younger generation of the Southern Cloud County Martial City Academy Palace, and also the eldest senior brother, who had once broken into the top one hundred of the Earth Ranking.
Of course, he had already broken through the Heavenly Extreme Realm long ago, and his cultivation was even more profound now.
Most of those heavenly daughters regarded him as their idol and admired his strength so much that when they encountered danger, they naturally couldn’t help but lean towards him, hoping to get his protection.
Right now, Elder Crane was entangled with the Red Blazing Crow King and was distracted, so they could only pin their hopes of survival on their eldest senior brother, Zi Han Sha.
Right at the moment when the Silver Moon Ship’s guarding light shield was breached, Lei Jing finally saw the markings of the Martial City School Palace imprinted on the ship and said, “They’re people from the Martial City School Palace, Zhang Ruochen, come with me to save the people and help them out.”
After saying this, Lei Jing’s robes flew up and he executed the “Flying across the Heavenly River” body martial art, leaping over to the sea of fire in the distance first, directly attacking the Red Blazing Crow King.
Subsequently, Zhang Ruochen executed the “Flying Dragon’s Shadow on the Wind” martial art, and his true qi erupted out, forming a flying dragon’s shadow as he rushed over in the direction of the Silver Moon Boat.
