Chapter 673: Second System, Black Water Law

Within Fubo Cave’s Hidden Dragon Pool, Qin Feng was refining the True Spirit Pearl.

Hidden Dragon Pool was a place where the Profound Yin of heaven and earth converged!

The fact that it could birth an Innate True Dragon was a testament to its profound nature.

Countless Yin Veins and Poison Veins intertwined, forming the nascent shape of an Innate Dragon Nest.

The Black Water Profound Serpent was, in essence, quite similar to a Yin Dragon.

Both favored extreme yin and possessed a terrifying, potent poison. By cultivating here, the cultivation speed of his Black Water Profound Snake Body was simply beyond imagination.

The True Spirit Pearl was being refined at a speed that surpassed Qin Feng’s wildest dreams.

The Demon Qi within the Black Water Demon Pill was cleansed inch by inch by the True Spirit Pearl. Primordial, pure, first-generation Demon Qi, like long serpents, poured beneath Qin Feng’s skin. It tempered his Black Water Snake Body, helping the Black Water Profound Serpent complete the crucial step of transcending from a Postnatal to an Innate state.

An Innate Profound Serpent, while not on par with the first-generation Primordial Profound Serpent, undoubtedly possessed the potential to become a Demon God.

A dense manifestation of the Black Water Law began to gestate within the Black Water Demon Pill. It trickled forth—heavy, unnaturally cold, and carrying an unfathomable power capable of corroding heaven and earth.

POP! POP!

On the surface of his body, his bloodline was reverting to its ancestral form. Countless old snake scales cracked and popped off like shelled peas.

These scales that peeled from Qin Feng’s body were incredibly durable, as hard as Hundred-refined Divine Iron.

The new Innate scales were pitch-black. As they formed, his coiled Innate Snake Body resembled an Innate Dao Map. The fluctuations it emanated caused the surrounding black water to ripple, seemingly transforming along with his body.

Qin Feng’s serpentine body grew, stretching from over a dozen zhang to thirty-six zhang in length.

Within his body, the True Spirit Pearl and the Black Water Demon Pill visibly began to merge. Countless wisps of black energy surrounding the Black Water Demon Pill were forcibly purged, and the entire Demon Core began to radiate an incomparably deep, dark fluctuation.

Vast amounts of information regarding the Black Water Law became comprehensible to Qin Feng’s True Soul. Deep within it, an ethereal Divine Position began to materialize.

This was the Divine Position of the Black Water Demon God.

It was formed purely from the condensed Black Water Law.

Beside it was another transparent, formless Divine Position—that of the Void Demon God, formed purely from the condensed Void Law.

As he condensed the Black Water Law, Qin Feng clearly sensed hundreds, even thousands, of interconnected Origins reaching out from the Void.

This was the struggle for the Great Dao.

These people were also cultivators of the Water Element Law. Their paths led toward the Black Water Divine Position, the Ocean Divine Position, or the Water Origin Divine Position.

These individuals were now Qin Feng’s rivals in the struggle for the Great Dao.

Whoever seized a Divine Position first would signify the end of the road for all others.

The struggle for the Great Dao was a battle to the death.

“Insolent brat!”

「In the East Sea, within the Vast Dragon Palace.」

The moment Qin Feng completely refined the True Spirit Pearl, a flash of pure rage appeared in the dark eyes of a Dragon Son who had been indulging in pleasure on an elegant seat.

“Damned wretch! How hateful!”

CRACK!

The Jade Cup in his hand instantly shattered into dust.

“Hm? Thirteenth Brother, what’s the matter?” Numerous Dragon Sons looked on in surprise at their agitated sibling.

From the throne, a Dragon Son wearing a Purple Gold Crown, his presence majestic and imposing, also glanced over.

The Son of Black Water’s expression flickered. ‘Damn it, he’s so strong. How could such a terrifying figure appear in this generation of the Dragon Race!’

The Son of Black Water was inwardly vexed. He had thought that by possessing the body of an East Sea Dragon Son, he could dominate the East Sea with his newly fused Innate Dragon and Snake Body and eventually scheme for the throne of the East Sea Dragon King.

But he never expected the young powerhouses of this generation’s East Sea clan to be so ridiculously formidable. Even he, a Second Generation Son of Black Water, was no match for this particular individual.

“Eldest Brother, please forgive me. I, Ao Chao, merely had a sudden insight and felt a moment of joy!”

He said this while pulling a young mermaid closer, but inwardly the Son of Black Water was seething.

‘I’ve heard that the Dragon God Venerable Position in the Dragon Realm is about to manifest. It’s a shame that even though this body has reached the Holy Dragon Realm, I dare not reveal my true power, let alone enter. Otherwise, if I could seize that position… now that would be a magnificent affair!’

‘What a pity. That upstart brat snatched half of the True Spirit Pearl. Otherwise, my chances of ascending to the Black Water Divine Position in this lifetime would have been almost certain! Damn that little brat! The day I find you, I’ll rip out your tendons and flay you alive! You’ll die a dog’s death!’

Seething with hatred, Ao Chao repeatedly raised his cup in apology.

RUMBLE!

A brilliant aquatic light surged ten thousand zhang high. From within Hidden Dragon Pool, a black serpent dozens of zhang long shot into the sky, the power of its Innate Bloodline flowing through it.

Dark clouds blotted out the sun as thunderbolts crackled across the sky. Within a ten-thousand-li radius, a torrential downpour began.

“Such a dense Innate Bloodline!”

「On a desolate mountain.」

Having waited for several days, Su Qin, Wei Changming, Cang Yu, and the others stood on a hillside, gazing at the incomparably majestic Innate Black Serpent.

“An Innate Bloodline, a third-generation Black Water Profound Snake Body… I heard the Black Water Divine Position of this era is still unclaimed. If he has the ambition, he has an excellent chance of ascending to become the Black Water Demon God!”

A look of wonder appeared in Cang Yu’s eyes.

This was the first time he had ever seen Qin Feng, yet he still felt a tremor of shock and envy.

An Innate Body… this was something countless cultivators who walked unorthodox paths to enlightenment coveted.

To revert to and advance into an Innate state… this meant he had already traversed most of the path to becoming a Demon God, leaving the majority of his competitors for the Great Dao far behind.

“I’ve always heard his talent was exceptional, on par with the likes of Shenxiu, Panwu, and Jian Zongyuan. I never imagined he had an ace like this up his sleeve. An Innate Snake God… his potential is limitless. It’s truly enviable!”

“Another monstrous talent has appeared!”

“I heard that this Master Qin is also a famous Alchemist—a Fourth Grade Alchemist, a future Medicine Emperor!”

“An Innate Xuan Snake Body… that already puts him far ahead of many other True Disciples!”

“That’s not all! I heard a few days ago, some of the sect’s experts hunted down a young Kun Fish True Spirit. Another True Disciple, Ye Ding, seized the opportunity to forge a Third Generation Innate Kunchong Body! His power skyrocketed, and with that world-shaking breakthrough, he advanced to the level of a Martial Dao Great Power in a single step!”

…

Listening to the hushed chatter of the disciples behind them, Su Qin and Wei Changming exchanged a look, their expressions growing heavy.

If this True Disciple before them had truly killed Lin Guangdong and Jiang Hanguang, the situation would be incredibly difficult to handle.

For such an outstanding True Disciple to be lost without cause at their hands would be an unbearable loss, even for a sect as large and powerful as the Star Sect.

Moreover, the two of them knew that Qin Feng was the reincarnated body of the current Star Lord.

An existence like that would not be so easily captured. If he were to escape, it would be a disaster for the Star Sect.

“Brother Wei, we must handle this matter with extreme caution!” Su Qin said via voice transmission.

Wei Changming understood Su Qin’s meaning. For years, many people had been maneuvering behind the scenes, seemingly trying to frame the case as ironclad and seal the fate of Qin Feng Cave Master.

Even many members of the Supervision Hall itself were involved.

Wei Changming said grimly,

“Brother Su, rest assured. I am not one to jump to conclusions based on rumors. You and I are both aware of the Star Sect’s current situation; we need disciples like him to mature. However, if he is truly the culprit, then I will have no choice but to…!”

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, as sharp as a thunderbolt.

Just then, the black light enveloping the serpent at Hidden Dragon Pool swirled and condensed. A handsome youth in a black robe, with a somewhat androgynous and refined air, slowly walked out. His gaze swept over the members of the Supervision Hall, a flicker of a smile in his eyes as he called out,

“My apologies for keeping you Elders waiting. Your presence graces Fubo Cave with its splendor!”
