Chapter 244 Slaying the Dragon and Seizing the Essence! The Cunning Nameless!
The Soul Palace absorbed the fragments of Emperor Shitian's primordial spirit, and some scattered information also appeared in Chu Yang's mind, including information about the Dragon Essence.
Dragon essence is the essence of the dragon, and the dragon only appears in the human world once every ten Jiazi (60-year cycles) on an auspicious day.
The appointed time has not yet arrived, but Chu Yang already knows the exact location and plans to forcibly kill the dragon.
The dragons in the world of Fengyun have no intelligence; they are merely ferocious beasts devoid of humanity, and are the most ruthless of all auspicious beasts, even more brutal than the fire qilin.
It is much more dangerous than the Fire Qilin.
In order for Indra to slay the dragon, he also needed the help of seven masters and seven divine weapons, so that the seven of them could simultaneously pierce the dragon's seven vital points.
This illustrates just how difficult it is to slay a dragon.
But it's only difficult for them.
It's not that complicated here in Chuyang.
Knowing where the dragon was hiding, Chu Yang immediately set off. It wouldn't take long, and Chu Yang simply greeted Wuming.
The dragon resides in a fiery lake on an island in the middle of a lake overseas. On the island lives a clan called the "Water Clan," who regard the dragon as their guardian deity and protect it.
Chu Yang didn't want to run into a group of ignorant people, so he secretly entered the Fire Lake and saw a dragon hibernating in the deepest part.
Its enormous body undulates like a mountain range, its jet-black scales gleaming, bearing some old scars.
A huge black dragon was standing in front of Chu Yang.
Many years ago, others tried to slay the dragon, but all failed.
The dragon's eyes, the size of a millstone, suddenly opened, seemingly startled by Chu Yang's aura, and filled with a violent killing intent.
The dragon opened its mouth, and a roar like thunder exploded, shaking the heavens and the earth.
"If the world level were higher, perhaps I really wouldn't be able to make a move against you, but unfortunately this is the world of Fengyun."
Chu Yang looked at the black dragon in front of him and felt a little regretful.
Dragons are auspicious creatures, but in this world they are considered ferocious, like the fire unicorn.
"Move the mountain!"
Chu Yang used his Origin Qi to activate the power of the Five Elements, manipulating the rocks to completely block the path, preventing the divine dragon from escaping by chance.
Seeing that the Fire Lake passage was blocked, Black Dragon had a bad feeling!
Its enormous body seemed to float on clouds as it crashed into Chu Yang.
Despite its large size, it was incredibly fast, reaching Chu Yang in the blink of an eye.
"Perfect timing to test Indra's martial arts."
Once again activating his Origin Qi, Chu Yang unleashed the Seven Absolute Realms, transforming his body into countless strands of rosy mist to evade the black dragon's charge.
The dragon's majestic body, as imposing as a mountain, shattered the rosy clouds, but in the blink of an eye, Chu Yang reappeared.
The Seven No-Fold Despair effect is comparable to the elemental transformation of a Logia-type Devil Fruit, which is quite magical.
The black dragon rammed into Chu Yang several times, but all its attempts failed, instead smashing the surrounding mountains to pieces.
Realizing that physical attacks might not be effective, the black dragon used its classic skill.
Dragon's Breath!
Extremely hot flames spewed from the dragon's mouth, almost melting the mountain rocks completely.
"The Underworld".
The icy, bone-chilling Yellow Spring water suddenly poured over the black dragon, and the water that flowed into its mouth extinguished its breath, leaving only a cloud of black smoke.
Black Dragon was dumbfounded...
The humans in front of me don't seem right at all. I can't hit them, and their fire breath gets extinguished by water. How am I supposed to play like this?
It was a ferocious beast that didn't kill fools. Realizing the situation was dire, it immediately prepared to escape and crashed headfirst into the mountain wall that Chu Yang had surrounded.
Rumble!
Several loud bangs followed, and the entire sealed lake of fire shook violently, followed by another collapse of the sky and the earth.
"Stop struggling, you'll be resurrected soon anyway. Lend me your dragon essence."
Upon hearing that Chu Yang wanted to borrow the Dragon Essence, the Black Dragon's movements suddenly became more intense, desperately trying to carve out a way to survive.
"So emotional? Does taking the Dragon Essence mean you can't be resurrected?"
Chu Yang felt that if even the weakest of the auspicious beasts, the Fire Qilin, could be resurrected, there was no reason why the other auspicious beasts couldn't...
The four auspicious beasts are products born in accordance with the will of this world. As long as the world does not completely perish, they should not become extinct.
Forget it, what does it matter to me whether I'm resurrected or not...
The Origin Qi activated the Evil Blood Calamity, and Chu Yang used his own blood and qi to draw upon the black dragon's blood and qi. The next moment, the enormous dragon body began to tremble violently.
Dragon blood gradually seeped out from beneath the jet-black dragon scales, dripping in thin streams, which Chu Yang then absorbed into his hand.
These are all good things, don't waste them. The blood of the Fire Qilin not only helped Chu Yang improve his power, but also greatly strengthened his Origin Martial True Body.
With the idea that everyone should specialize in their own field, Chu Yang thought that even if the dragon blood of the same level was not as strong as that of the Fire Qilin, it shouldn't be too bad.
As for Indra, who became a living dead...
Forget it.
Bathing in human blood is too perverse; Chu Yang can't do such a thing. It's better to use it to extract the Phoenix's bloodline factor.
Of the four auspicious beasts, only the blood of the Black Tortoise remains unobtained, and it's unclear whether Xiao Sanxiao or the Black Tortoise is easier to find.
After an unknown amount of time, the black dragon let out a mournful wail.
It was like a fully automatic water heater, with scalding dragon blood constantly flowing out and showering Chu Yang.
The moment it touches the skin, the dragon blood disappears completely, as if it has been consumed by his body.
Only after squeezing out the last drop of dragon blood did the dragon's head collapse with a thud, its pupils filled with fear as it looked at Chu Yang.
I never want to see this human again in my next life!
The longan's luster gradually dimmed.
Chu Yang took out the Dragon Essence without hesitation, absorbed it on the spot, and sat on the huge dragon head.
Dragon Essence is the condensed essence of a dragon's entire body. It is an extremely yang and potent substance. Once ingested, it grants immunity to all poisons and can rapidly heal wounds.
However, the more severe the injury, the slower the recovery will be. Dragon Essence is not unlimited, but is consumed as the body is damaged.
Dragon essence contains the intense bestiality of dragons. The personality of the user will be gradually eroded, leading to madness at best and death by exploding at worst, just like the host of Qilin blood.
All of this is actually caused by the remnant of the dragon's primordial spirit. As long as the dragon's remnant primordial spirit is destroyed, its so-called bestial nature will also disappear.
The most important effect of Dragon Essence, like Phoenix Blood, is that it grants the user immortality.
Refining the Dragon Essence was very simple for Chu Yang; he finished it in less than a minute. After refining it, he felt refreshed and invigorated, even better than having a massage.
Changing one's lifespan is a true cleansing of the marrow and essence.
He couldn't wait to go back and transplant the phoenix blood.
Stepping out of the fire lake, a light drizzle was falling outside. The dragon's death caused great sorrow throughout the world, and the rain seemed to be the tears of this place.
Chu Yang smacked his lips.
Why didn't you cry even once when the Fire Qilin died?
A biological son is a biological son.
After Chu Yang left, the aquatic people came to the vicinity of the Fire Lake and saw that the place had become a ruin, and they immediately had a bad feeling.
"The dragon is dead?!?"
...........................
More than a month has passed since the dragon was slain.
During this period, Chu Yang transplanted the Phoenix bloodline factor and used it to create artificial Phoenix blood. He took several Phoenix blood baths, but overall the effect was still a bit lacking.
Chu Yang's body has absorbed three of the four auspicious beast bloods, resulting in miraculous changes.
At first, the three types of blood repelled each other, creating a strong backlash within Chu Yang's body that even affected his Origin Martial True Body.
In the most critical moment, Chu Yang even considered keeping only one type of blood and using bloodline factor technology to expel the rest of the auspicious beast blood from his body.
After much deliberation, he decided to grit his teeth and persevere for a while longer.
The pain intensified, becoming the most intense pain he had ever experienced since obtaining the Origin Martial True Body.
It was at this moment that Chu Yang's physical limitations began to break through under the stimulation of intense pain.
After the breakthrough was completed, the blood of the three auspicious beasts—Qilin, Dragon, and Phoenix—was completely combined, and the effect was greatly enhanced, eliminating all the previous drawbacks.
If it is further combined with dragon turtle blood, even more amazing changes will occur.
My desire to find Xiao Sanxiao suddenly became stronger.
Xiao Sanxiao is even more legendary than Indra, having lived for a full four thousand years. However, his character is resilient. Unlike Indra, who was lost in time, this old man is still working hard for the sake of all living beings.
In his youth, he encountered the Black Tortoise, one of the Four Auspicious Beasts, by chance, and thus gained immortality. After a period of happy mortal life, he had two sons.
In the years that followed, Xiao Sanxiao often felt uneasy. In order to find out the reason for his unease, he began to deduce the secrets of heaven.
After sacrificing a great deal of his lifespan, Xiao Sanxiao observed the celestial phenomena at night and, in conjunction with the Five Elements, drew the "Ten Demon Diagrams," thus glimpsing the "Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns" to come.
To prevent the great calamity from coming, Xiao Sanxiao abandoned his wife and traveled around looking for a glimmer of hope.
However, he did not know that the person who started the "great calamity" was his two abandoned sons.
The Great Demon God's laughter is astounding!
The "Big Boss" laughs at the world!
When Xiao Sanxiao returned to his hometown after many years away, not only had his wife passed away, but his two sons had also established their own households, leading a group of evil and heretical sects.
The two brothers harbored resentment towards their father and had become too powerful to heed his father Xiao Sanxiao's advice. Xiao Sanxiao had no choice but to resort to force, but unexpectedly, he was no match for his two sons.
The injured Xiao Sanxiao did not leave, but instead used "Great Compassion and Bliss Powder" to poison his two sons, causing them great pain and nearly killing them.
Out of compassion, Xiao Sanxiao, a father, gave the two brothers the antidote.
However, he did not expect that his eldest son, Xiao Jingtian, would get the antidote and recover quickly. He immediately took his younger brother, Xiao Aoshi, and fled.
The two brothers left the Central Plains and sailed east to an island nation to recuperate and prepare for a great calamity to come.
Xiao Sanxiao then went into seclusion to focus on dealing with the great calamity.
Xiao Sanxiao has two unique skills.
The Four Great Chaos Techniques!
Myriad paths and myriad realms!
The eldest son, Xiao Jingtian, was proficient in the Four Great Universes of Chaos, while the younger son, Xiao Aoshi, was proficient in the Myriad Paths of the Universe.
These two martial arts techniques are far more profound than Di Shitian's Sacred Heart Technique and are more compatible with what Chu Yang has learned.
In particular, the Four Great Chaos Techniques elevate one's power to an unprecedented level by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and the ever-renewing power of nature!
It coincides with the core of the Origin Breathing technique of the Origin Martial True Body!
The Four Unique Elements of Chaos can also use the sun and moon as a medium to control the forces of wind, thunder, fire, and rain, which are constantly in opposition and used for their own purposes. With the four forces merging together, not only do yin and yang complement each other, but they also generate life endlessly.
Its power is overwhelming and unparalleled.
Chu Yang possesses the power of the five elements, making it easy for him to wield these four powers. With their combined strength, their power can be further enhanced.
While the compatibility of the Myriad Paths of the Universe is not as good as that of the Four Great Masters of Chaos, it is itself very mysterious, emphasizing using thought as a weapon to control people's hearts.
This alone makes it even more bizarre than the Four Wonders of the Sacred Heart.
In addition, Wan Dao Sen Luo can freely absorb different types of things for his own use, and can extend different variations depending on what he has learned.
Chu Yang not only combines the strengths of all schools of martial arts, but also the strengths of martial arts from various worlds. The Myriad Paths of the World will be completely different in his hands compared to when Xiao Sanxiao does it.
Both martial arts techniques and the Xuan Turtle Blood would greatly benefit Chu Yang. In order to find Xiao Sanxiao, he planned to spread the news of the Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns through the Zhonghua Pavilion and take the initiative to lure the other party out.
That night, Chu Yang specifically sought out Wuming for a late-night talk by candlelight, informing him of the existence of the Great Calamity.
After the incident with Emperor Shitian, Wuming developed a deeper respect for Chu Yang and began to regard him as a peer.
Because of the excellent example before him, Wuming had a high degree of trust in Chu Yang's words. It was not surprising that someone who knew Di Shitian's identity would know more secrets.
Xu Fu, who had lived for two thousand years, was already one of a kind, and Wuming didn't think there was anything more frightening than this.
until……
He heard that Xiao Sanxiao had lived for a full four thousand years!
"This short month has truly been an eye-opening experience for me; how can these people all survive so long?"
Wuming's mouth was full of bitterness. If Di Shitian, who had lived for two thousand years, was so difficult to deal with, what would happen to Xiao Sanxiao, who had lived for four thousand years?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Chu Yang.
Chu Yang chuckled and said, "Don't worry, senior, this person who has lived for four thousand years is a good person."
Wuming breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Yang continued, "It was his two sons who instigated this great calamity; those two are the real villains."
The nameless man caught his breath again, "How long did those two live?"
Chu Yang replied, "Don't worry, he won't live as long as Emperor Shitian."
Wuming felt relieved.
Chu Yang added, "But both of them are more powerful than Di Shitian."
Wuming's heart leaped back into his throat, and he clenched his fists.
Chu Yang laughed and said, "It's alright, neither of them can beat me."
With his heart pounding, Wuming finally learned his lesson and grabbed Chu Yang's arm, saying solemnly, "A-Yang, just say what you have to say all at once. I haven't fully recovered from the aftereffects of the Heavenly Heart Tribulation last time."
"Okay, okay, I understand." Chu Yang quickly reassured Wuming, afraid that he might have a heart attack in front of him. If the dignified Tianjian died so casually, he would become a laughing stock.
"With the emergence of Xiong Ba, Jue Wushen, and Di Shitian, all signs indicate that the great calamity of the ages is imminent, and we must take action first."
"I want to spread the news of the great calamity through the Zhonghua Pavilion. First, I want to warn the righteous people to be on guard. Second, I want to lure out Xiao Sanxiao. With him around, we can be confident in preventing the worst from happening."
Chu Yang was talking nonsense with a straight face. Even without Xiao Sanxiao, he could wipe out Japan a thousand or eight hundred times over by himself, and he could dig up earthworms from the ground and split them in half.
No one's help is needed at all.
Upon hearing this, Wuming patted his chest and confidently declared, "Ah Yang, rest assured, I will definitely let all the martial arts practitioners know about the Great Calamity!"
"In order to force... well, to ask Senior Xiao Sanxiao to show himself and lead everyone in fighting against the Great Calamity of the Thousand Autumns, why not also spread his identity so that the world will know?"
Chu Yang was filled with respect and gave Wuming a thumbs up.
Who would have thought you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, could be so wicked!
But I like it...
