Chapter 2115: An Unexpected Discovery
The Seven-dragon Cauldron seemed to have a life of its own. It released an extremely terrifying power and smashed through the dimensional barrier one after another. No one knew where it was going.
Zhang Ruochen and the Dragon Phantom Lord worked together to perform an exquisite dimensional technique, but they could barely keep up.
It’s not the cauldron that’s releasing power to smash through the s.p.a.ce. There are probably King Grade Sacred Pills in it. I mustn’t let it go, Zhang Ruochen thought.
King Grade Sacred Pills were invaluable. The Dragon Phantom Lord had collected hundreds of millions of treasures, but only held two of them on hand, one of them had been refined by the Son of Darkness.
As Zhang Ruochen thought about it, he activated the Percepts of Dimension in his body and released powerful dimensional power. It swept toward the Seven-dragon cauldron. He didn’t want to keep chasing it. After all, no one knew what would happen next.
Restricted by the dimensional power, the Seven-dragon Cauldron’s speed was instantly affected.
Whoos.h.!.+
A dimensional chain appeared and wrapped tightly around the Seven-dragon Cauldron.
Under this situation, the Seven-dragon Cauldron was fixed in mid-air. It couldn’t move anymore.
But just as Zhang Ruochen was about to pull the dimensional chain, a small fire wyrmling suddenly rushed out of the Seven-dragon Cauldron and released an extremely violent power.
Crack!
The dimensional chain broke, and the Seven-dragon Cauldron smashed the dimensional barrier in front of it.
A strange light flashed in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. “A King Grade Sacred Pill can control such a powerful dragonsoul fire. If I can refine it, the Divine Purification Flame in my body will definitely improve a lot. I might even be able to transcend into Emperor-Level.”
The Divine Purification Flame was divided into three levels: Mortal-level, Envoy-level, and Emperor-level. Most cultivators only held the Mortal-level, and very few had reached the Envoy-level. Emperor-level was almost a legend, merely a handful of Supreme Saints who cultivated the Path of Fire were able to achieve it.
Zhang Ruochen had made the Divine Purification Flame in his body transcended to Envoy-level a long time ago. However, it was still a long way from transcending to Emperor-level.
Zhang Ruochen was now almost certain that the King Grade Sacred Pill in the Seven-dragon Cauldron could improve the essence of the Divine Purification Flame. Naturally, he could not let it go.
With Zhang Ruochen’s instructions, the Dragon Phantom Lord burst forth with G.o.dspeed. Before the dimensional barrier was repaired, he forced his way through. He had already locked onto the aura of the Seven-dragon Cauldron and would not let it escape easily.
Because of the complicated dimensional structure in front of him, the Seven-dragon Cauldron went rampaged, but its speed was slowed down. When it broke out of the spatial fault, the Dragon Phantom Lord had caught up with it.
‘Confine!’ Zhang Ruochen attacked. He released a powerful dimensional power to confine a large area of s.p.a.ce.
The Seven-dragon Cauldron shook violently. A sea of dragonsoul fire surged out of it, like a volcano erupting.
BANG!
The cover of the cauldron was blown away by the powerful force. A Blue Fire Dragon more than 3,000 meters long flew out of the cauldron. It broke through the spatial confinement and escaped at a high speed.
‘It is indeed a King Grade Sacred Pill. What a powerful Elixir Spirit. But Can you escape?’ Zhang Ruochen’s eyes lit up, and he immediately performed the Great Dimensional s.h.i.+ft.
In an instant, Zhang Ruochen appeared dozens of miles away, blocking the Blue Fire Dragon’s path.
Luoshui Fist Technique was performed, and a Celestial River appeared. It meandered and twisted toward the Blue Fire Dragon.
ROAR!
The Blue Fire Dragon let out a sky-shaking dragon’s roar, and a terrifying dragonsoul fire surged out of its body.
There was a saying that water and fire were incompatible. Being burned by the dragonsoul fire, a large amount of water vapor rose in the Celestial River, as if it was going to be instantly evaporated.
Whoos.h.!.+
The Celestial River flowed faster and faster. At the same time, it grew stronger and stronger. Soon, it overpowered the fire.
It wasn’t that the dragonsoul fire wasn’t strong enough. It was because Zhang Ruochen had refined a top-tier water-element divine object and cultivated the Luoshui Fist Technique to the extreme. The Celestial River that conjured could grow endlessly, just enough to counter the dragonsoul fire.
However, even though it was surrounded by the Celestial River, the Blue Fire Dragon still didn’t give in. Instead, it struggled even more fiercely. It released cl.u.s.ters of Dark Blue Flames and condensed a strange dragon mark to attack the Celestial River.
Rumble
The Celestial River shook violently under the attack of the dragon mark, creating huge waves.
What a powerful Elixir Spirit. In terms of power, it’s almost comparable to the Son of Darkness before he broke through. Unfortunately, he hasn’t practiced any saint technique. No matter how strong his power is, he doesn’t know how to use it.’ Zhang Ruochen shook his head slightly.
As he spoke, he pulled back the Celestial River and forcefully crushed the Blue Fire Dragon.
Under the pressure of the Celestial River, the Blue Fire Dragon’s huge body immediately began to shrink.
Not long after, the Blue Fire Dragon became only three meters long. Then, it disappeared into thin air. A dark blue pill appeared, only the size of a finger.
On the surface of the pill, there was a dragon pattern that kept moving, trying to break free.
‘Seal.’ Zhang Ruochen made a move and quickly cast a strong seal.
Buzz
The pill trembled slightly and then returned to calm.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and took the pill in his hand. After a long time, he finally got the King Grade Sacred Pill.
If his cultivation hadn’t improved greatly, he might not have been able to do anything to the Elixir Spirit.
I’ll refine it after I had left the True Dragon Island,’ Zhang Ruochen whispered.
Refining a King Grade Sacred Pill was not an easy task, especially the one in his hand. It contained a terrifying dragonsoul fire. Even for him, it would take quite some time.
The situation on True Dragon Island was complicated and constantly changed. It was obviously not suitable for this task.
The Son of Darkness could refine one so quickly mainly because he cultivated the Path of Darkness, one of the nine Paths of Ancients. It was best at devouring and absorbing.
Carefully putting away the King Grade Sacred Pill, Zhang Ruochen came to the Seven-dragon Cauldron.
Naturally, he couldn’t let go of this treasure.
A Cauldron that could refine King Grade Sacred Pills was invaluable. If it was in Blackie’s hands, he might be able to refine many high-grade sacred pills.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a large area of s.p.a.ce shattered, and destructive power surged.
Zhang Ruochen’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly put away the Seven-dragon Cauldron and turned to look in the direction of the broken s.p.a.ce.
Many huge black tentacles came into Zhang Ruochen’s sight. Each one was more than 3,000 meters long. There were blood-red patterns on the surface. They looked fragile, but they were actually extremely tough. They could pierce through everything.
‘Mojo.’ Zhang Ruochen reacted in an instant.
He had just come into contact with the creepy child not long ago. Thus, he was very familiar with Mojo’s aura. He hadn’t expected to meet the true form of Mojo so quickly.
However, he couldn’t see the true form of Mojo. There was pure dark divine force enveloping Mojo’s body. Only many black tentacles were revealed.
The person fighting Mojo was a handsome man in black. He had sword-like eyebrows and beautiful eyes like the stars. His body exuded an extremely powerful sword aura. He held an edgeless sword, but it was as sharp as a knife.
Something struck his mind like lightning, Zhang Ruochen knew his ident.i.ty. He must be the Lord of Sword, one of the five overlords.
The Dragon Phantom Lord had told him that the Lord of Sword was formed from the will of a sword left behind by a peerless sword G.o.d on the True Dragon Island. His sword technique was superb, and his attacks were the most powerful and tyrannical.
The edgeless sword in the Lord of Sword’s hand was a powerful regal weapon.
The sword’s will of the sword G.o.d was attached to the edgeless sword. After a long time, the Lord of Sword was born.
Therefore, the Lord of Sword and the edgeless sword were extremely compatible. With such a sword in hand, they were invincible.
“Master, the Lord of Sword and Mojo are a nemesis to each other. Every time there is a change on the True Dragon Island, they will challenge each other. We should avoid them,” warned the Dragon Phantom Lord.
The five overlords had never been on good terms, especially Mojo. He wanted to devour or enslave all the creatures on the island and dominate True Dragon Island.
With Dragon Phantom Lord’s current state, meeting Mojo was not a good thing.
Zhang Ruochen really wanted to use the G.o.d-Defiance Stele to suppress both Mojo and Lord of Sword as well as take all the treasures they had collected.
However, the current situation was different from when he had subdued the Dragon Phantom Lord. He might not be able to use the G.o.d-Defiance Stele to attack Mojo and the Lord of Sword.
If the G.o.d-Defiance Stele was just to use on either Mojo or the Lord of Sword, he could give it a shot.
As he was thinking, Zhang Ruochen suddenly felt his scalp tighten. A strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.
Swoos.h.!.+
Black tentacles, like spears, cut through the sky and pierced toward Zhang Ruochen like lightning.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed. He hadn’t expected that Mojo would be distracted to deal with him and the Dragon Phantom Lord during a battle with the Lord of Sword.
Before the tentacles could reach Zhang Ruochen, a terrifying spiritual power attacked him first.
Compared to those creepy children, the spiritual power attack from Mojo’s true form was undoubtedly many times more terrifying.
Even though Zhang Ruochen was prepared for it, his brain still felt a sharp pain. His mind was filled with gory images, so much so that there was faint blood in his eyes.
Hiss
Zhang Ruochen could not help but inhale a breath of cold air. He truly felt the terror of the Mojo.
‘Break!’ Zhang Ruochen let out a loud shout and mobilized his spiritual power with all his strength.
The spiritual power Saint Aspect that Zhang Ruochen had cultivated was the Thunder G.o.d Reverend. His spiritual power naturally carried a strong Yang aura, which was just right to counter the Yin and evil spiritual power of Mojo.
In an instant, the b.l.o.o.d.y and strange images that filled his mind were forcefully torn apart.
Suppressing the dizziness in his head, Zhang Ruochen waved his hand and released a large amount of Divine Purification Flame, engulfing Mojo’s tentacles in flames.
When people of different cultivation used the same Envoy-level Divine Purification flame, the power would be as different as day and night.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation strength, the Divine Purification Flame released by him was enough to incinerate most of the Nine-step Saint Kings into ashes.
As Zhang Ruochen had expected, Mojo’s true form was afraid of the flame. The tentacles that were charged at him stopped moving.
On the other side, although the Dragon Phantom Lord’s strength was greatly reduced, it was not difficult to deal with the tentacles of Mojo.
Zhang Ruochen appeared above the Dragon Phantom Lord’s head and said at the same time, “Let’s get out of here.”
Zhang Ruochen and Dragon Phantom Lord had already attracted Mojo’s attention. If the Lord of Sword also targeted them, the consequences would be dire.
The Dragon Phantom Lord did not dare to hesitate. He immediately carried Zhang Ruochen and plunged into a spatial fault. He did not want to be swallowed by Mojo.
BOOM!
Mojo’s dozen tentacles came at lightning speed. Although they did not attack Zhang Ruochen and the Dragon Phantom Lord, they shattered the spatial fault.
As a result, Zhang Ruochen and the Dragon Phantom Lord fell into more chaotic and complicated s.p.a.ce.
Even though they both cultivated the Path of Dimension, they were still in trouble.
“d.a.m.n Mojo, I’ll gobble you up sooner or later,” the Dragon Phantom Lord roared.
In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Phantom Lord had been attacked many times. There were many cracks on his body, and he was almost swallowed by a Dimensional Rift.
Zhang Ruochen became serious. He used the Path of Dimension to the extreme and tried to find a way out of the chaotic spatial fault.
With the interference of the Mojo, they were really in big trouble this time.
Born from the G.o.d of Infernal Court’s divine heart, it will definitely become a calamity to us all. I must find a chance to get rid of it,’ Zhang Ruochen thought.
The Dragon Phantom Lord suddenly cried out, “Oh No.”
The reason was that Mojo had extended dozens of tentacles again, wanting to completely destroy the spatial fault.
At this moment, the Lord of Sword drew his sword and cut out dozens of sharp Sword Qi.
Puff!
The dozens of tentacles that Mojo had just extended were all cut off by the Sword Qi. They could not attack the spatial fault as they wished to.
Taking on this opportunity, Zhang Ruochen and Dragon Phantom Lord quickly broke out of the spatial fault and disappeared without a trace.
BANG!
The s.p.a.ce rippled slightly. Zhang Ruochen and Dragon Phantom Lord appeared out of thin air and fell heavily to the ground.
Zhang Ruochen advanced left and right in the spatial fault. Both of them were covered in wounds.
If the Lord of Sword had not attacked at the critical moment, they might have really died in the spatial fault.
The Dragon Phantom Lord said angrily, “If my strength hadn’t been damaged, I would have joined hands with the Lord of Sword and kill that despicable Mojo.”
“Don’t worry, there will always be a chance for that. I’ll settle the score with it sooner or later,” Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were cold and said.
Zhang Ruochen had almost been killed by Mojo. How could he possibly let it go?
Mojo was powerful, but he could always find an opportunity to attack. No matter what, he would make Mojo pay the price before he left True Dragon Island.
The Dragon Phantom Lord said in surprise, “It seems a little unusual here. There are no spatial faults in a large area. And I sense a very unique and familiar aura.”
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen could not help but look around. It was undoubtedly necessary to figure out the surroundings first.
Based on their previous experience, True Dragon Island should be full of spatial faults. It was chaotic. If one’s dimensional attainments were not high enough, it would be difficult to move an inch.
However, this area was different. There wasn’t even a small spatial fault within a thousand miles when the Power of Dimension was used.
“I remember now. It’s the presence of the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring,” the Dragon Phantom Lord said suddenly.
As one of the overlords on True Dragon Island, the Dragon Phantom Lord had seen the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring once. He had also obtained a small amount of the spring water, so he was familiar with its aura.
Hearing the words “Sun-Moon Dragon Spring,” Zhang Ruochen’s eyes lit up. This was one of the most prominent treasures on True Dragon Island. It could refine a peerless body and have all sorts of incredible uses.
Rumour has it, that the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring contained three types of spring water. The most common and largest sacred spring could be used by saints and Saint Kings.
The second type of sacred spring, which was rarer, was used by top-tier Saint Kings and Supreme saints.
As for the third type, it was the divine spring. It was extremely rare and even the G.o.ds yearned to obtain it.
There was also the Dragonform Gra.s.s, which had incredible effects. Legend had it that it grew beside the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring and absorbed the essence of the divine spring. It was nourished by a large amount of dragon energy and could only be produced once every ten thousand years.
If one had the Divine Dragon Bloodline and refined a Dragonform gra.s.s, there was hope to fully activate their Divine Dragon Bloodline and transform into a true Divine Dragon.
Although True Dragon Island was in ruins, the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring was still there. With the dragon’s aura left on the island, there was still hope to grow a Dragonform gra.s.s.
“Find the location of the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring immediately,” Zhang Ruochen ordered urgently.
Since he was lucky enough to encounter the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring, there was no reason to miss it. No matter what, he had to find a way to get some of the spring water.
…
Many of you had probably forgotten about the most mysterious ancient sect in Kunlun Realm. With the revival of Kunlun Realm and the Divine Sky-connecting Tree sprouting again, would they resurface once again?
