Chapter 552: Chapter 551: Kingdom and Beauty

Generally, alternative paths to attaining the Martial Dao all involve tempering the physique, nurturing True Power, opening all the body’s True Acupoints, and strengthening one’s bloodline. The ultimate goal is to achieve the Refinement of the bloodline, making a leap akin to a carp transforming into a dragon, changing the physical body into that of a Divine Beast, and attaining great longevity.

The Cultivation of the Flood Dragon clan is like this.

The Cultivation of the Water Ape is like this.

The Black Water Righteous Method of the Black Water Profound Serpent clan is also such a Dharma Gate.

The first thirteen layers temper the physique and refine True Qi.

Reaching the tenth layer is when one condenses Black Water True Power, awakens the Black Water Profound Serpent bloodline, and forms One Yuan Black Water.

From the tenth to the twentieth layer, it’s all about strengthening one’s own Black Water Profound Serpent bloodline, condensing One Yuan Black Water, and refining one’s Circulation Acupoints to store three hundred and sixty-five drops of One Yuan Black Water.

This stage corresponds to the Condensing Vein Realm.

The twenty-fifth to the twenty-seventh layers correspond to the Sea of Reincarnation Realm.

One continues to strengthen the Black Water Profound Serpent bloodline and begins to temper all the True Acupoints in the body, refining them all until they are open.

At the Twenty-eighth Layer, one refines all the True Acupoints into a single Black Water Profound Serpent.

After breaking through this Realm, a Cultivator can truly achieve the Black Water Profound Snake Body, gaining the status of a True Spirit Descendant of the Black Water Profound Serpent.

Transforming the body into a Profound Serpent also grants one the long life of the Black Water Profound Serpent clan.

A lifespan exceeding three thousand years.

This lifespan is more than three times that of an ordinary Martial Arts Giant.

Next is the stage between the twenty-eighth and thirty-third layers.

In this stage, one must take the greatly strengthened One Yuan Black Water and revert it to its source, Reverse the Inborn state, and sublimate it into Nine Nether Black Water, one of the Nine Great Innate True Waters.

One then uses the Nine Nether Black Water to refine a true form of the Black Water Profound Serpent and merge it into one’s true body.

If this step is accomplished, one is only a single step away from the Black Water Profound Serpent True Spirit state of the Demon God Realm.

Qin Feng had now cultivated to the twenty-seventh layer, but the One Yuan Black Water contained within his body was far from the mere three hundred and sixty-five drops of the previous Yu Hua.

Instead, he had one hundred twenty-nine thousand, six hundred drops.

This was the ultimate Yiyuan number.

At this moment, the one hundred twenty-nine thousand, six hundred drops of One Yuan Black Water surged, forming a corporeal-looking Black Water Profound Serpent.

Faced with the monstrous, oncoming aura, the Black Water Profound Serpent seemed to be stimulated, on the verge of taking its final form.

ROAR!

A power from the Ancient Era was brewing within the One Yuan Black Water.

RUMBLE!

A violent aura equivalent to that of a Martial Arts Giant pierced the Firmament.

A gigantic, sharp claw swiped out from the towering waves. Within its grasp was a boundless, massive vortex that enveloped Qin Feng.

From a distance, Qin Feng had the illusion that his body and soul were being torn apart.

’What a terrifying claw! It doesn’t just contain extremely profound mastery of the Void; it also displays boundless might on the path of the Water Origin. I fear even an ordinary Martial Arts Giant couldn’t escape this claw! Yu Hua is in danger!’

Deep beneath the water, even from hundreds of yards away, Ao Wuxu felt a chill rise from the depths of his soul, making him feel like an ant.

Qin Feng had originally intended to activate his Chaos Water Tribulation to shatter the claw.

But in the blink of an eye, he recalled an Ultimate Skill he had obtained from a set of ruins—one created by a prodigy of the Dragon Race from the Silver Era.

That Dragon Race prodigy called himself the Azure Dragon Emperor and was one of the first Demon Gods to attain the Dao in the Silver Era.

This Ultimate Skill was called the *Azure Dragon Martial God Dao*.

It has five stances.

Palm Concealed Dragon, Coiling Dragon Release, Jiaolong Mistake, Gathering Dragon Embrace, and True Dragon Kill!

’I’ll use the Supreme Martial Arts of the Dragon Race to kill a prodigy of the Dragon Race!’

Qin Feng gave a grim smile. The one hundred twenty-nine thousand, six hundred drops of One Yuan Black Water surged in his palm, and a savage Black Dragon with ferocious Dragon Horns erupted from his hand.

BOOM!

In an instant, the Black Dragon shot across the sky, like a world-conquering Dragon Emperor. It violently smashed through the palm pressing down from above, let out a savage roar, and charged into the sky-blotting waves.

RUMBLE!

Immeasurable light from the water erupted from within the massive waves.

A streak of black light tore through the void, bursting out from the watery light. It landed before everyone, revealing a noble-looking, handsome young man dressed in white.

"Mo Ao!" Upon seeing him, Lan Rou’Er’s beautiful eyes glanced his way, filled with a watery tenderness, an indescribable beauty.

Glancing at Lan Rou’Er, Mo Ao nodded. His gaze then fell upon Long Jiu, and he saw his severed arm.

His eyes remained placid, but a severe glint flashed through them and vanished.

Seeing that Mo Ao wasn’t paying much attention to her, instead showing concern for Long Jiu first...

Lan Rou’Er pressed her crystal-clear red lips together, a trace of gloom appearing in the bottom of her heart.

’For his sake, I not only defied my mother, the Queen, but even paid such a great price. And yet, I haven’t received a single word of comfort or concern.’

At that moment, a flame of rage surged in the depths of Mo Ao’s heart.

’Everyone knows that Long Jiu is my trusted and favored general. For someone to dare injure him now... this is an undeniable provocation against me, Mo Ao.’

’There are many Crown Princes in the Endless Sea Dragon Palace, but there is only one position for Dragon King.’

’Long Jiu is one of the core figures in my faction.’

’Although the Li Black Dragon Clan’s overall strength isn’t as tyrannical as the other Pure Blood Dragon Clans, they are numerous and influential. Long Jiu is my bridge to them.’

He turned, his gaze falling coldly on Qin Feng. "You’re the one who injured Long Jiu!"

He suppressed his killing intent. If it had been anyone else, regardless of the reason, he would have slain them long ago for daring to injure one of his people.

"You are Mo Ao, the Third Prince of the Endless Sea Dragon Palace? The renowned young expert from the Sea Realm Pride Ranking?"

Qin Feng frowned.

’Although I haven’t mastered this *Azure Dragon Martial God Dao*, and I certainly haven’t cultivated the Azure Dragon True Acupoint, it is still an Ultimate Skill created by the Azure Dragon Emperor. Its power is not to be underestimated.’

’This Mo Ao shattered my attack so easily. His strength far surpasses that of an ordinary Martial Arts Giant.’

Seeing Qin Feng’s expression, Long Jiu furiously rebuked him. "How audacious! To speak the Crown Prince’s name directly, you deserve a thousand deaths!"

"What’s so great about the Endless Sea Dragon Palace? The Five Directions Dragon Palace—the East Sea Dragon Palace, West Sea Dragon Palace, South Sea Dragon Palace, North Sea Dragon Palace, and your Endless Sea Dragon Palace—can only cower overseas. You have no jurisdiction over the inner regions of the Spirit Sea Continent. Don’t try that routine on me!"

Qin Feng sneered. The core of the Spirit Sea Continent was the Ninety-nine Continents, and the Outer Domain was said to have three thousand prefectures, though the actual number was far greater. The waterways, by and large, were the territory of the Seventy-two Sects. Though the Five Directions Dragon Palace was strong, at best, they could only exert some influence outside the three thousand prefectures.

’Do these people still think this is the Ancient Era, when the Sea Race ruled the Spirit Sea Continent?’

Qin Feng couldn’t be bothered to waste words on them. "In short, I don’t care who you are. Leave Lan Rou’Er behind, or none of you are leaving!"

Hearing this, Lan Rou’Er’s expression changed slightly.

Mo Ao felt a bit displeased. No one had ever dared to speak to him like that.

However, he was extremely shrewd and wary of the strength Qin Feng had displayed. He glanced at Lan Rou’Er and frowned slightly. "Sir, could there be a misunderstanding between you and Rou’Er?"

’Rou’Er?’ ’Such an intimate form of address.’

Qin Feng’s face darkened. "There’s no misunderstanding between us. Sir, you should be aware of my strength. While I may not be able to defeat you, you certainly can’t kill me. I, however, can kill that subordinate of yours at any time!"

"You can choose, Sir. Leave with your subordinate, or leave with Lan Rou’Er. You can only pick one!"

As soon as he said this, the expressions of both Lan Rou’Er and Long Jiu changed drastically.

More than anything, they were shocked.

One must understand that Mo Ao was a genius on the Sea Realm Pride Ranking. His strength was countless times greater than that of an ordinary Martial Arts Giant.

’Even a figure like him can’t do anything against a mere genius at the Sea of Reincarnation Realm?’

Lan Rou’Er’s beautiful eyes trembled violently. She had never imagined that this lecher with whom she’d had a one-night affair would be so tyrannical.

She stared intently at Mo Ao, hoping he would deny it all!

Mo Ao’s face was expressionless. They had exchanged a single blow. Although he knew he hadn’t used his full strength, the same was true for his opponent.

He truly couldn’t kill Qin Feng in a short amount of time.

And in that time, Qin Feng would have more than enough opportunity to kill Long Jiu and flee.

He looked at Lan Rou’Er and Long Jiu.

He faced a choice!

The beauty or the kingdom?
