Chapter 735 - 724: Farewell, Chiyou

The lifespan of a mortal lasts no more than a hundred years.

Compared to over ten thousand years, it is indeed insignificant.

Over ten thousand years...

It is a number that would make anyone look up in awe.

A thousand years is enough to witness the vicissitudes of life and the transformation of the sea into mulberry fields.

Ten thousand years is beyond even Ding Ling’s imagination.

After all, the history of the ancient kingdoms in the Earth World of his previous life was only about five thousand years!

Yet he could live for twelve thousand years!

"Very good."

Ding Ling was very satisfied.

His previous lifespan was around three thousand nine hundred years.

This was due to the support of skills like the Heaven-Transferring Divine Technique, World-Ending Demon Skill, Xuanyuan Heart Scripture, and his own physique!

Now, having increased his lifespan so significantly in one breath was indeed remarkable.

"In this world, even the lifespan of the Ancient Gods is limited. It doesn’t make sense for Divine Beasts to have infinite lifespans."

Divine Beasts would die.

So how long could someone who consumed their Dragon Essence really live?

To live ten thousand years is already a heavenly blessing!

"Besides the immense vitality, this Dragon Essence also contains an enormous amount of Divine Power."

Ding Ling began to absorb this Divine Power.

As he continued to absorb and refine it.

The War God Spirit Body became more and more condensed and substantial.

It began to shift from an ethereal state to a real one.

But perhaps because the divine nature contained in the Dragon Blood he previously absorbed and refined was also quite extraordinary, the divine nature in this Dragon Essence can only be said to be comparable to that in the Dragon Blood.

Even so, it allowed Ding Ling’s War God Spirit Body to advance further.

Up to now.

The War God Spirit Body could not only hide in his heart but also in his lungs.

If more places became available to hide.

It would become increasingly difficult for others to find it in the future!

"If the entire divine nature and Essence Qi of the Divine Dragon were contained in the Dragon Blood, then perhaps, after I refined the Dragon Blood, this Dragon Essence would have shrunk directly."

Ding Ling placed the drastically reduced Dragon Essence into his Storage Pouch.

The current Dragon Essence had become much less scorching hot.

Only pure Spiritual Vitality remained within.

Ding Ling planned to enter the Otherworldly Space where the Female Drought Demon resided to absorb the power of this Dragon Essence to enhance himself.

Because the limitations of the Mortal Realm were too great.

If he absorbed the Dragon Essence, it likely wouldn’t enhance himself much, only his foundation. Naturally, Ding Ling hoped to increase his strength more significantly.

Ding Ling looked at the Dragon Scales at the bottom of the lake.

Perhaps due to the loss of Dragon Blood and Dragon Essence.

The remains of the Divine Dragon were shrinking rapidly, and the Dragon Scales were becoming increasingly dim. Ding Ling grabbed a handful of Dragon Scales and gently squeezed them, cracking them instantly!

"Indeed. The Divine Power of the Divine Dragon is all concentrated in the Dragon Essence and Dragon Blood."

With the loss of Dragon Essence and Dragon Blood.

The Divine Dragon would completely die and vanish into light.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In just a short time, the remains of the Divine Dragon indeed transformed into rays of light and disappeared into the seafloor, leaving no trace.

The Dragon Scales remained, but they were like useless debris with no value at all.

Ding Ling shook his head, and with a Shrinking Inches, he swiftly cut through the waves to where the Divine Dragon had once resided.

Here, an Ancient Nine Palace Linked Array had been artificially set up!

Ding Ling understood the method of breaking formations.

Because the Female Drought Demon had taught him many Ancient High-Level Arrays.

He had mastered them all at Full Level.

This included the Nine Palace Linked Array.

Click! Click!

Ding Ling performed the Seal Technique with his hands and, following a special route, entered the Life Gate. After several twists and turns, it was as if he had stepped into a strange tunnel. Looking ahead, he saw a cave.

The cave was not large.

In the center, apart from a deep pool, there was nothing else.

Looking up, he could see a light source.

"Is this a well?"

Ding Ling marveled secretly.

It was clearly a sea.

But in the lake of Divine Dragon Island, there was a deep well, and within the well, a deep pool.

Recalling the Female Drought Demon’s words.

Ding Ling walked into the deep pool, and sure enough, poisonous water overflowed, and the demonic force surged endlessly, immensely oppressive and erosive.

"The corrosive power and demonic nature here are far more terrifying than those in Lingyun Cave."

But it’s understandable.

In Lingyun Cave, there were Dragon Veins and Fire Qilin jointly suppressing it.

Here, there was only the Divine Dragon.

"For any ordinary expert to enter here is to court death; they cannot get in deep. But for me, it poses no significant problem."

The depth of the deep pool reached a thousand feet.

The deeper he went, the more immense the demonic nature became.

The more poisonous the water became as well.

Ding Ling, being immune to all poisons and able to refine demon nature.

Naturally, he tread easily.

Upon reaching the bottom of the deep pool, Ding Ling saw a peculiar array here.

It was no different from the Tai Chi Yin Yang Array in Lingyun Cave.

Here too appeared a rotating, uncertain Tai Chi Diagram.

Half of it was condensed into the Fiery Flame Yang Diagram with two Dragon Eggs as the core;

The other half was condensed into the Dark Shadow Map with a coffin as the core.

"Indeed, there are also Divine Dragon Eggs here."

Ding Ling had learned the Artifact Identification Skill from the Female Drought Demon, and by activating the Xuanyuan Heart Scripture, he could instantly perceive the essence of an object and understand its true meaning.

At this moment, it was the same. Ding Ling immediately saw the dragon fetus within the eggs!

"However, like the egg of the Fire Qilin, these dragons are deeply demonic and have become demon creatures! They must be slain."

Ding Ling felt slightly regretful.

However, the divine nature within these two Dragon Eggs was also extraordinary, capable of making his War God Spirit Body even more substantial.

He stepped forward.

With Shifting Form and Position.

He effortlessly stepped into the array.

Back in Lingyun Cave, he couldn’t break this Tai Chi Yin Yang Array!

He could only choose to break the array by brute force.

But now he could step easily into the array, naturally benefitting from the Ancient High-Level Array techniques taught by the Female Drought Demon.

It must be said.

The Female Drought Demon, worthy of being the daughter of the Celestial Emperor, possessed immense knowledge. If Ding Ling hadn’t been cheating with the Full Level hack, such extensive knowledge would have taken him hundreds or even thousands of years to learn.

"These Divine Dragon Eggs are too large. My Storage Pouch can’t hold them."

Ding Ling looked at the coffin:

"I should deal with Chiyou’s remains first!"

As he thought this.

Bang!

Ding Ling felt a slight tremor in his body, as if something had entered his body.

In the next instant, hearing a startled shout, Ding Ling closed his eyes slightly, the Sword Spirit opened its eyes, and immediately saw a blurry, fierce figure rushing into his heart.

This person’s form was extremely familiar.

The Sword Spirit’s eyes were sharp, reaching the position of the heart in a moment, directly confronting this person, and raising an eyebrow, he said:

"Chiyou!"

"You recognize me!"

The intruder’s expression changed slightly:

"Could it be that you have visited other suppressions of my presence?!"

"So it is you!"

The Sword Spirit formed a sword with two fingers, and activating Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root, a dense web of Sword Qi ensnared Chiyou in an instant then began to cut and pierce him back and forth.

Chiyou couldn’t react in time, and when he did, he was already caught, leaving him terrified and crying out:

"Who on earth are you!? How can you be this strong?! How do you know the Demon Scripture, War God Technique that only I know!!"

Ding Ling did not reply.

But from Chiyou’s words.

Ding Ling came to understand.

Chiyou being Immortal is not without reason.

He had actually cultivated several Soul Divisions!
