Supreme Dragon Martial Soul - Chapter 628 - 304: Rapid Progress! Bizarre Corpses!
Chapter 628: Chapter 304: Rapid Progress! Bizarre Corpses!
Luo Cheng put away the Thunder Hidden Sword, gathered the bodies of the five Blood Nether Sect disciples, and immediately activated the nine-colored scales within his body to begin devouring.
Roar!
A dragon-shaped phantom howled, unleashing an invisible suction force, and the Martial Souls of several disciples were forcibly extracted, flooding into Luo Cheng’s body.
Simultaneously, the second Essence Energy Mansion within Luo Cheng’s Dantian became increasingly distinct with scales and claws, initially taking the form of a slumbering True Dragon on the verge of awakening, gradually emanating a formidable energy aura.
“It’s almost time!”
Luo Cheng’s voice carried a hint of delight.
The strongest among these Blood Nether Sect disciples was only at the early stage of the Seventh Level of Awakening Vein Realm.
However, because they had just been slain, their Martial Soul Essence had not yet dissipated, making the devouring effects remarkably potent.
If the Martial Soul Essence from these people was tenfold, then previously devoured corpses of the same realm yielded less than 30%, sometimes not even 10%!
“With a hundred more bodies like these, the Xuanlong Technique will surely break through!”
Luo Cheng calculated silently.
Under normal circumstances, devouring over a hundred mid-stage Awakening Vein Realm experts would undoubtedly be difficult.
However, in the Black Cloud Mountain Range, filled with slaughter and death, it wasn’t a challenging task!
“Continue!”
Feeling reassured, Luo Cheng beckoned and retrieved the storage rings and identity tokens from the five desiccated Blood Nether Sect disciples.
Identity tokens serve as proof of slaying Blood Nether Sect disciples and can be exchanged for Sect Contribution Points!
After storing everything away, Luo Cheng darted deeper into the area.
The deeper he went, the denser the toxic miasma hanging over the dense forest, blocking out the sky, and pressing down oppressively over the treetops.
This miasma was highly poisonous; even those in the Awakening Vein Realm would find their Essence Energy circulation affected upon inhalation, with soul power somewhat hindered and disorientation set in.
Nevertheless, for Luo Cheng, who possessed powerful soul power, the impact was minimal, allowing his soul power to effortlessly extend for miles.
Using this advantage, Luo Cheng traversed while searching for surviving Blood Nether Sect disciples.
These disciples, having just escaped a siege, were short-lived with their relief when they encountered Luo Cheng’s killing spree, getting obliterated without even a chance to resist.
In a short span, Luo Cheng slaughtered another thirty-four Blood Nether Sect disciples, and with the bodies consumed along the way, his body amassed Martial Soul Essence like a mighty river, surging and drawing closer to the second layer of the Xuanlong Technique.
Furthermore, all eighty-one of Luo Cheng’s Xuan Veins awakened and continued to elevate, inching toward a breakthrough to the middle stage of the Ninth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm.
Influenced by various factors, his overall power rose steadily!
“Once this battle is over, I might be able to contend for the title on the Domain List!”
With excitement, Luo Cheng radiated his soul power like a vast net, scanning everything around him, capturing even the slightest movement in his mind.
“Found it!”
Whoosh!
Luo Cheng shot forward like a bolt, appearing amidst a dense forest miles away.
In the shattered forest, several Blood Nether Sect disciples’ corpses lay scattered.
Without hesitation, Luo Cheng activated the nine-colored scales to start the devouring process.
“Huh!”
He immediately sensed something amiss as the devouring began.
Judging from the previous corpses, the closer to the center of the battlefield, the shorter the death time of the bodies.
These individuals clearly hadn’t been dead for long, yet most of their Essence Blood had vanished, their skin shriveled as if long deceased.
“What’s going on? Could someone have cultivated a technique to refine Essence Blood?”
Luo Cheng furrowed his brows deeply, unable to fathom it, and continued on his way.
In a mountain valley.
An intense fight was underway.
Four Xuanyuan Sect disciples were besieged by seven Fierce Cloud Sect disciples.
In addition to the bodies of two Blood Nether Sect disciples, a Xuanyuan Sect Inner Sect disciple’s corpse lay amidst the dark-red, blood-stained earth.
“Chen Jing, with the Three Sects united to attack the Blood Nether Sect stronghold, we should be working together to exterminate the remnants of the Blood Nether Sect. How could you, at a time like this, attack us? Aren’t you aiding the Blood Nether Sect and acting as a spy!”
“If this gets exposed, not only will your reputation be ruined, but your Fierce Cloud Sect’s reputation will also be tarnished!”
Chen Lingyu bit her red lips, glaring angrily at a slender-eyed Fierce Cloud Sect disciple, her eyes full of indignation.
They initially pursued two Blood Nether Sect disciples but, at the critical moment, Chen Jing suddenly appeared with six Fierce Cloud Sect disciples and launched a ruthless assault on them without a word.
An elder brother-in-arms was killed on the spot to protect them.
Chen Jing sneered, “Don’t make baseless accusations here. I want to kill the Blood Nether Sect disciples, but you won’t live either. Blame him, for daring to provoke me, Chen Jing! Hahaha!”
Chen Jing pointed at a tall, one-armed young man.
It was Lin Xiaoyun, Luo Cheng’s fellow disciple in the Outer Sect.
During a prior sect mission, Chen Jing and Lin Xiaoyun had a conflict, where Chen Jing slightly lost face.
Cough!
Lin Xiaoyun, pale-faced from severe injuries during the melee, coughed lightly and stepped forward, addressing Chen Jing in a deep voice:
“I’ll take full responsibility, Chen Jing. This is between you and me, not them! I’ll stay, do as you wish, but let them go…”
“Brother Lin!”
Chen Lingyu’s expression changed dramatically.
Lin Xiaoyun shook his head, recognizing the disadvantage as the opposition outnumbered them with a core disciple at the peak of Ninth Layer Awakening Vein Realm!
Whereas on their side, the strongest was only at the Fifth Layer, wounded, without bowing down, they might all die here today!
Haha!
Chen Jing laughed scornfully, “Now you’re admitting defeat? Weren’t you quite arrogant before?”
“Too bad, it’s too late! Killing you or killing two is the same! None of you will leave here alive today! You must have killed quite a few Blood Nether Sect disciples, convenient for us!”
A tall youth in embroidered clothes nearby frowned, urging: “Chen Jing, hurry and finish this! I need to regroup with Brother Yun.”
This was Chen Jing’s elder brother, Chen Hengzhi, a powerful core disciple at the middle stage of Ninth Layer Awakening Vein Realm!
“Fine, attack! I’ll handle this cripple myself!”
With a loud shout, Chen Jing launched an ultimate skill assault towards Lin Xiaoyun.
Boom!
Lin Xiaoyun countered with a palm, both at the late stage of Second Layer Awakening Vein Realm like Chen Jing.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Xiaoyun wouldn’t take Chen Jing seriously.
But at the moment, heavily injured, even channeling his Essence Energy was challenging.
Puff!
One exchange shattered Lin Xiaoyun’s Palm Force, making him spew blood and stumble back, face pale, suffering further injuries.
“Hahaha! Struggling in vain! Die now!”
Chen Jing laughed sinisterly, his Essence Energy surging, flames bursting from his palm, striking towards Lin Xiaoyun’s face like a crashing mountain.
“Brother Lin!”
Chen Lingyu panicked, attempting to intervene but was forced back by another Fierce Cloud Sect disciple, left helpless.
At the critical moment.
Swish!
An Electric Sword Qi flashed, landing exactly between Lin Xiaoyun and Chen Jing.
Chen Jing’s entire right hand was severed, blown away, landing on the ground.
Staring at his bare wrist, Chen Jing froze before reacting, clasping the severed hand and letting out piercing screams.
“Ahhh… My hand! My hand! Who! Who is it!”
Whoosh!
Someone drifted gracefully to Lin Xiaoyun’s side; it was Luo Cheng.
Along the way, he had discovered corpses from which most Essence Blood had vanished, rendering further devouring useless, so he soared through the sky, rushing forward, arriving just above the valley.
