Chapter 734 - 723: Divine Dragon

"Xiaao Sanxiaao, Wu Wudi!"

These are the two men.

No wonder the clan leader of the Water Race dares to confront the Great Army of the Great Ming Dynasty, even daring to venture to Divine Dragon Island and let the Water God Ancestor attack directly.

It turns out their confidence comes from these two men.

"It’s easy to understand Xiaao Sanxiaao. After all, I killed his son. But Wu Wudi, what’s this master doing here?"

Ding Ling couldn’t figure it out.

He has no animosity with Wu Wudi.

Why does he want to kill me?!

Ding Ling couldn’t find the answer from the clan leader’s memory; after all, separating memories only extracts a part, and this is because his realm is much higher than the clan leader’s, plus the Sword Spirit’s separation technique within the domain has reached a divine level. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know this much information.

"You, you..."

The clan leader was completely terrified.

He couldn’t imagine that there could be a peerless extraordinary person like Ding Ling in the world!

Ding Ling’s might, as described by the high population, was completely different!

Was it that the high population deceived him, or did Ding Ling hide his true strength?!

Pah!

Ding Ling slapped out, shattering the clan leader.

Since he was an enemy.

There was naturally no need to keep him around for irritation.

As the Human Emperor, he has the responsibility and duty to protect Jiuzhou.

But he guards the people and things he believes should be protected.

He will decisively kill what is not worth protecting!

Crack!

Ding Ling swung his sword, cleaving open the Sword Realm again. He emerged from it, then used Divine Movement Skill and Free-Will Ascension Step, transforming into a beam of light. Before long, he arrived again at Divine Dragon Island.

"Your Majesty!"

Lü Bu, Bu Jingyun, and Nie Feng called out in awe.

Ding Ling’s prowess had already exceeded their imagination. Cleaving open a world was as easy as idle play. How is this different from a god?!

Ding Ling nodded towards them and proceeded straight towards the central location of Divine Dragon Island.

The Divine Dragon was at the center of the island in the lake.

Da da!

Ding Ling took one step, covering a hundred yards, and in no time, he delved deeply into Divine Dragon Island.

The other Water Race people dared not stop him.

Ding Ling crushed the Water God Ancestor and the clan leader.

These two were akin to gods and emperors in the hearts of the Water Race people.

Now the god has fallen, the emperor died.

They were panic-stricken yet dared not oppose Ding Ling’s party. Of course, there were also death warriors loyal to the clan leader. Impossible as it seemed, they attempted attacks and assassination on Ding Ling and Nie Feng’s party, with outcomes naturally unfavorable.

A moment later.

Ding Ling used Breath-holding Skill, Diving Technique, and Water Manipulation Skill, diving like a fish into the depths of the lake island, and saw the Divine Dragon at the lake’s bottom.

It was exactly as the legends depicted—a Divine Dragon that was over a hundred yards long, extremely huge, with claws larger than several people!

Its entire body was boiling with demonic power!

As soon as Ding Ling stood before it, it seemed to sense him and suddenly opened its dragon eyes, as large as water tanks.

"Roar!"

With a sudden, furious roar, it opened its blood-red mouth and was about to bite Ding Ling!

"Deeply entrenched in demon nature, beyond salvation."

Ding Ling shook his head and swiftly drew his saber!

No-Two Blade Technique!

Clouds Breaking Through the Blue Sky!

One slash was sent out, with an amplification over tenfold, a dazzling, intimidating saber light materialized out of void, and dropped swiftly like a thunderbolt.

Boom!

The saber light clashed heavily with the dragon’s mouth, accompanied by crackling explosions and clattering splashes of water, howl!

A miserable cry, the Divine Dragon was slashed and sent flying over a dozen yards.

In the area it flew over.

One could see dragon scales and droplets of radiant dragon blood scattered!

Dragon blood condensed rather than dispersed, reminiscent of blood-red gems. They looked quite extraordinary!

Ding Ling casually seized two drops and sensed the overwhelming Spiritual Vitality, demon nature, and divinity.

Ding Ling instinctively operated the Demon Scripture to absorb the magic power,

the Great Sun Buddha Purifying World Spell to purify the demon nature;

the War God Technique to absorb and refine the divine power.

His techniques were all at full level, coupled with a supreme cultivation. The two drops of dragon blood were refined swiftly and thoroughly.

"The War God Spirit Body condensed a wisp. As expected, it’s useful. If I capture all the dragon blood, the War God Spirit Body can surely be completely condensed. By then, I shall be immortal."

The Divine Dragon before him had already been completely covered by demonic power.

It was here because this place was related to the suppression of Chiyou’s partial body.

Much like Lingyun Cave.

The Divine Beast’s power was used to counteract the demonic powers of Chiyou.

Regrettably.

The Divine Beast’s divine power had retreated step by step, corroded by the demon nature. Lingyun Cave was like this, and so was the Divine Dragon here.

"It seems the suppression of Chiyou’s body must be completed ahead of schedule."

Ding Ling thought to himself, then wielded the Human Emperor Saber, chasing after and slashing the Divine Dragon.

The Divine Dragon was immensely powerful, having reached the Realm of Shattered Great Perfection!

Its strength had stood at the apex of the mortal world. Moreover, its defense was terrifyingly strong! Breaking its defense was extremely difficult for peers at the same level!

But Ding Ling was at the First-grade Golden Core Realm, even though suppressed by the world, only able to exhibit the Shattering Great Perfection level of strength, he amplified himself over tenfold and wielded the Human Emperor Saber that countered the Divine Dragon. The confrontation was a crushing victory.

Before long.

The Divine Dragon was killed at the lake’s bottom.

Its divine blood was completely sucked and refined by him.

Whoosh whoosh!

The War God Spirit Body immediately transformed and emerged, becoming a smaller version of Ding Ling, anchoring itself at the heart.

Henceforth, the spirit body is immortal.

Ding Ling would not die even if his head was severed.

"Great. The War God Technique has from now reached Great Success. The immortal body is finally achieved!"

Ding Ling took a Dragon Essence from the Divine Dragon’s remains.

This Dragon Essence was as big as a basin, entirely crimson like lava, extremely hot and scorching.

But Ding Ling possessed the Female Drought Demon’s full inheritance!

Fire Manipulation Skill and Fire Control Skill had already reached the pinnacle. A bit of high temperature, how could it possibly harm him?

He held the Dragon Essence, contemplated for a bit, and then began refining it straight away.

The Dragon Essence, in reality, is the Dragon Pearl.

It’s the Divine Dragon’s entire divine power and essence materialized.

If forcibly consumed, there’s a high chance of being assimilated by the beast’s ferocity, becoming a monstrous being neither human nor dragon!

Duann Lang consumed two smaller Dragon Essences and became half-man, half-dragon.

The terrifying power of Dragon Essence assimilation was evident.

Ding Ling was different.

He mastered too many superior martial arts. At this moment, he was using the Great Sun Buddha Purifying World Spell to purify the demon nature within the Dragon Essence!

Simultaneously using Ten Thousand Dao Forest and Eternal Youth Technique to absorb the ’life force’ in the Dragon Essence, refining this force with Xuanyuan Heart Scripture.

The vast life force poured into Ding Ling’s body like an ocean.

Ding Ling’s lifespan visibly surged.

Four thousand years!

Five thousand years!

Six thousand years!

...

Twelve thousand years!

After exhausting the vast life force in the Dragon Essence.

Ding Ling’s lifespan significantly increased by a full twelve thousand years before it stopped.

"It seems the legend is false."

Ding Ling pondered.

It’s said that consuming a Dragon Essence can grant immortality, eternal life.

But obviously.

This is relative to ordinary human lifespan.
