Chapter 194: Martial Dao Will, I Am the Dragon Elephant, Ten Thousand Dragons Subdue God, Niu Mo is
Chapter 194: Martial Dao Will, I Am the Dragon Elephant, Ten Thousand Dragons Subdue God, Niu Mo is the Old Marquis? (Part 1)
A thunderous roar reverberated through the courtyard, accompanied by the sound of a dragon's roar and an elephant's bellow, which exploded in the small courtyard, echoing endlessly.
Vital energy boiled and surged upwards, rising several zhang high, colliding with the area separated by the Heaven and Earth Chessboard above, causing it to shatter and then descend again.
This created a mushroom cloud-like explosion, resembling an umbrella opening.
Steam rose, billowing and rolling.
It was as if the air had been tempered a thousand times, with the iron glowing red-hot, emitting sizzling sounds as it released scorching heat.
Li Cheng's ink-black robe fluttered, his dark hair resembling black lightning striking the air currents. He stood in the courtyard, raising one hand with fingers curled like hooks.
Countless currents of boiling heat intertwined around him, and his heart beat powerfully. Each beat seemed to strike a massive drum made from the skin of ancient ferocious beasts.
Huff!
Inhale!
Huff—!
Inhale—!
Li Cheng stood with his eyes closed, his palm weaving crimson lightning—the first divine aura he had refined from the Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant Essence.
The divine aura was extremely condensed and domineering, writhing and moving like electricity. This was the first divine aura Li Cheng had refined, far surpassing the grandmaster's true energy in terms of power. Its destructive force alone was on a different level.
The aura extended three feet, and the divine aura shattered three zhang!
This was not an exaggeration; the difference in speed and destructive force was like that between a bicycle and a small car.
Li Cheng could feel that the divine aura he had refined was even more fierce and powerful.
After all, it was the ultimate skill he had comprehended from the Divine Warrior's ultimate skill, used to refine the divine aura.
Any grandmaster-level ultimate skill, when cultivated to the grandmaster realm, could allow one to comprehend its true intent, which could then be used to refine the five viscera and six bowels, thus refining the divine aura.
The quality, strength, and weakness of a grandmaster-level ultimate skill also determined the strength of the divine aura.
Grandmaster-level ultimate skills were divided into lower, middle, and upper grades, and the refined divine auras also varied accordingly.
The world has always been unequal, and there is no absolute fairness.
This is true for martial arts cultivation as well as divine essence cultivation.
These are inevitable facts, and people can only follow these rules. To become powerful, one must position themselves at the top of this inequality.
They must obtain better resources, cultivate superior martial arts, and refine stronger true intents.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The sound of the heart beating was intense and thunderous.
Li Cheng's eyes opened and closed, shining brilliantly. He stood still, and his entire body seemed to glow, with his pores and membranes emitting light.
He appeared like a translucent piece of agate, with flowing light weaving across his skin.
Through the glowing pores and membranes, one could even see the thick, mercury-like blood coursing through his meridians, roaring and surging.
Li Cheng felt the divine aura, like crimson lightning, entwining around him, far surpassing the Dragon Elephant Silver Aura he had refined before.
Although they were both auras, they were not on the same level.
This blood-red divine aura was refined by Li Cheng using the Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Elephant Essence to temper his five viscera, making it a true... grandmaster divine aura!
This meant that at this moment, Li Cheng had truly stepped into the grandmaster realm.
He clenched his five fingers, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand.
The intense medicinal scent, stimulated by the scorching vital energy, wafted in the air, swirling endlessly.
Li Cheng suddenly crushed the jade bottle, revealing the translucent pill within.
It was a sixth-rank inferior Dragon Blood Spirit Pill, a gift from the Hunt Deity Pavilion's leader, Huang Xi Long.
A sixth-rank pill!
It was precisely what Li Cheng needed at this moment.
He opened his mouth, his throat burning hot, and swallowed the pill, which dropped into his stomach like a stone thrown into a thousand-zhang deep abyss.
A sixth-rank inferior Dragon Blood Spirit Pill was extremely precious and rare.
Even the grandmaster Li Cheng had killed, Xue Dufu, did not possess any sixth-rank martial pills.
It was a martial pill refined from the essence of a true dragon.
At this moment, as Li Cheng was breaking through to the grandmaster realm, he could use the power of this pill to enhance his vital energy.
Li Cheng focused his mind, and a glow appeared on his forehead, where his primordial spirit resided.
His eyes opened and closed, emitting divine light.
This allowed Li Cheng to clearly perceive every inch of his muscles, flesh, and meridians.
Even as he followed the blood vessels, he could sense the five viscera and six bowels, and even more subtle details.
This was the benefit of the primordial spirit.
Boom—!
The sixth-rank pill was suddenly crushed by the terrifying power of his stomach walls, and the pill coating ruptured, releasing a thick medicinal essence.
Li Cheng's heart pounded, and he seemed to transform into a massive vortex, instantly absorbing all the medicinal power.
With each breath, he was like a giant whale, his heart becoming a powerful furnace, his inner fire raging, threatening to burn him from within into ashes.
"Divine Aura Grandmaster..."
"In total, one can refine thirty-six divine auras, each of which can be divided into ten strands, and each strand opens one orifice... connecting all three hundred and sixty orifices in the human body!"
"Weaving them into a divine aura grandmaster's net, becoming one with the orifices, merging with the orifices, and uniting with heaven and earth, is the ultimate state of the divine aura grandmaster, allowing one to enter the realm of unity with heaven and man!"
Li Cheng's eyes opened and closed.
Prince Ji Haihui's Heaven and Earth Jade did not contain anything of value.
Although he was a young prince, he was still young and his cultivation was not strong. However, he had a substantial collection of divine essence crystals, with ten six-ministry divine crystals and a hundred seven-yuan divine crystals.
At least in terms of wealth, he lived up to the name of a young prince.
As for divine armaments, aside from the Hell Lotus Dark Spirit Sword, a four-sovereign inferior divine armament that Li Cheng had placed in the Heaven and Earth Chessboard...
There were no other high-quality divine armaments.
However, there were numerous cultivation manuals.
Among them were records related to martial cultivation.
These included the divisions of the grandmaster realm.
The grandmaster realm was divided into three stages: divine aura, unity with heaven and man, and the three flowers at the summit.
Strong cultivators like Xue Dufu and Zhu Chongyang were only at the divine aura stage of the grandmaster realm.
And now, Li Cheng has successfully cultivated a strand of Divine Aura, officially entering the realm of a Divine Aura Grandmaster!
Buzz!
A torrent of heat surged, all of it drawn into his heart like a vortex, infusing countless blood vessels.
As if reaching the pinnacle of power, it erupted with a mighty force!
In an instant, it was like a puddle shattered by a stomp, countless streams of water shot out like arrows, impacting every limb and bone!
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—
Li Cheng stood in place, experiencing the profound transformation brought about by his martial arts advancement!
In fact, Li Cheng's physique had already become extremely powerful after undergoing a single Dao Fruit's refinement. However, the transformation brought about by the realm advancement was also extraordinary.
Impurities were purged from his muscles, and his tendons and bones were tempered through countless strikes, becoming even more resilient. The nerves attached to them seemed to have strengthened, providing sharper feedback and heightened perception.
As this extremely sharp perception surged...
Li Cheng's eyes burned with flames, his irises glowing, as if they could tear through the darkness like a flashlight.
In his left eye, a divine dragon seemed to coil, and within his right pupil, an ancient elephant trumpeted with its trunk!
Boom!
Countless waves of heat transformed into the shadows of dragons and elephants, powerful and heavy, ancient and majestic, unparalleled in their dominance...
Li Cheng's eyes opened and closed, his ink-black shirt fluttering, and a force pressed down on the air, creating ripples of Martial Dao Will that spread out, as solid as mountains.
His every movement, every gesture, was filled with utmost strength and vigor, as if he himself had become a dragon and an elephant!
Martial Dao Will!
The unique Martial Dao Will of a Grandmaster...
An essence of spirit, energy, and essence refined to the extreme.
Li Cheng could feel that with just one cultivation of Martial Dao Will, his primordial spirit seemed to have grown stronger.
Originally, Li Cheng's primordial spirit was premature.
When cultivating the divine essence, one can refine the primordial spirit, but at that time, the primordial spirit would be as weak as Li Cheng's current one.
Only after condensing the Divine Essence Golden Core can one gradually refine the divine essence with the Golden Core, strengthening the primordial spirit, thus reaching the first realm of Divine Essence, the Primordial Spirit Transformation.
And now, the Martial Dao Will was also aiding in the refinement of the primordial spirit!
Li Cheng suddenly understood why it was said that a single Martial Dao Grandmaster or a single Divine Essence True Person would struggle against an opponent who excels in both paths and has reached the same level.
The Martial Dao Will indeed accelerates the enhancement of one's strength.
His heart burned like a furnace, its beating relentless.
However, as the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit trembled, Li Cheng's majestic aura gradually subsided.
With two fingers, he tore through the air.
A cute little cow mask covered Li Cheng's face.
Donning a conical hat and a black robe, Li Cheng's body trembled, and he disappeared from the courtyard.
...
...
Crack, crack!
Lightning flashed, and winter thunder roared.
Heavy rain and snowflakes swirled in the wind, creating a downpour.
Splash, splash!
On the long street, the Divine Guard Army, clad in armor and wielding weapons, cleared the wide avenue, making it even more desolate.
At the front, Shadow Guard True Man and Su Huali, with white strips of cloth tied around their arms, walked slowly, scattering white spirit money, creating an atmosphere of sorrow.
Behind them, six Black Armored Blood Guardians, their faces filled with grief, carried the coffin, each step heavy and powerful, as if they would shatter the ground beneath them.
On both sides, pedestrians, separated by the Divine Guard Army, couldn't help but feel the excitement of witnessing a spectacle.
The funeral procession stretched across Jin Guang City.
All major powers heard the commotion and came to pay their respects.
Prince Ji Haihui had died, but he was the son of Pacifying Rebel Princess Ji Maoli, and the proper respects had to be paid.
After all...
Prince Ji Maoli was still alive.
One must respect the Buddha, not just the monk.
Within Jin Guang City, there were not only the five major powers but also various minor families, all sending representatives to mourn.
The rain poured, hitting the black-tiled roofs, forming beads that splashed down.
Heavenly Observation Treasury Treasure Tower.
Lu Yao stood at the railing, swaying in the wind and rain, alongside Inspector Hu Yingyue, who was playing a sorrowful tune on his erhu.
Listening to the inspector's melancholy erhu melody, Lu Yao couldn't help but feel a sense of empathy.
"Who killed Prince Ji Haihui?" Lu Yao couldn't help but ask.
He couldn't imagine, and neither could anyone else, who could have done it.
Even Jiao Shaoqiu, who controlled the Hell Lotus Flame Wind Radiant Wheel and led the Temple God Resonance, didn't know who had killed Prince Ji Haihui and shattered the Divine Warrior Will.
In all of Jin Guang City, there was almost no one capable of such a feat...
"If you can't guess, don't bother. It won't bring you any benefits..."
"Prince Ji Maoli had many enemies, so it's possible that a powerful foe hid their identity and killed Prince Ji Haihui."
Inspector Hu Yingyue smiled, and Lu Yao didn't refute, for such a possibility existed.
As the spirit money flew and fell to the ground, soaked by the rain, the mournful funeral procession left Jin Guang City.
Lu Yao thought of Prince Ji Haihui's grand entrance into Jin Guang City and how it had ended in such a sorrowful departure.
At that moment, Inspector Hu Yingyue's erhu playing seemed to have reached a climax, the melody filled with sorrow.
Lu Yao rolled his eyes, watching the funeral procession disappear into the rain and mist, no longer interested in the melancholy erhu.
Inspector Hu Yingyue glanced at him and smiled.
The young man didn't understand the beauty of the erhu, mistaking it for a mere treasure.
Prince Ji Haihui's funeral procession departed from Jin Guang Mansion.
At this moment, many forces became aware of the situation.
On Jin Guang Peak.
Nan Lihuo stood with his hands behind his back, his white hair billowing, and his eyes glowing with firelight. He was in a great mood.
However, it was not enough.
Although Prince Ji Haihui was dead, Nan Lihuo was not his killer.
Moreover, the death of Prince Ji Haihui would surely provoke the fury of Prince Ji Mo Li, leaving Nan Lihuo with little time.
Nan Lihuo exhaled, his eyes gleaming with a mysterious light.
He wanted to kill Su Huaili.
Previously, he had contacted Niu Mo Ma Mian and expressed his intention to kill Su Huaili. Now, in the Netherworld, even Great Masters and Divine Essence True Persons could be killed.
Su Huaili was just a Half-step Divine Essence, so it should not be a problem.
Nan Lihuo planned to carry out the assassination of Su Huaili within the next few days.
"The Netherworld..."
"Killing Su Huaili... should be no problem."
Nan Lihuo's eyes narrowed.
With limited time, he closed his eyes and saw a terrifying scene.
His face turned red, and he exhaled slowly.
Leaning forward, he walked into the wind and rain, heading towards Zhen Lei Feng.
He wanted to contact the Netherworld through Li Qing Shan, which was the most convenient way.
...
...
The funeral procession left Jin Guang Mansion.
After escorting Su Huaili for ten miles, they stopped accompanying him.
"Prince, farewell."
Su Huaili, dressed in white, looked sorrowful. He bowed and clasped his fists.
The Shadow Guard and the six Black Armored Blood Guardians paid him no heed and left directly.
The burning paper money and the endless sorrow.
As the procession disappeared into the wind and rain, Su Huaili slowly straightened his body, and the sadness on his face vanished.
Deep within his eyes, a hint of unease flickered.
He raised his hand to cover his chest, his face turning pale, and he breathed heavily, "Such a strong sense of unease..."
"Who killed Prince Ji Haihui?"
"The Corpse God Sect? Or the God-Hunting Pavilion? Who is it?"
Su Huaili was almost overwhelmed by the rain, and a web of blood vessels seemed to form in his eyes.
