Chapter 86 Divine Core Realm!
Once the Heavenly Dragon Vein was broken through, he would be able to reach the peak of the Dragon Realm: the Ninth Draconic Stage.
At that point, all the dragon veins within the cultivator would be completely cleared and broken through, allowing Qi to flow through the entire body without any blockages!
After Long Chen completely absorbed the Blue Eyed Snow Lion’s blood essence, the Qi in his body became a few times more intense. His body was bursting with Qi, and he now possessed enough strength to break through and reach the Ninth Draconic Stage!
“Heavenly Dragon Vein!”
He was sitting on the ground, legs crossed. With Ling Xi protecting him, Long Chen wasn’t worried about any unexpected accidents. He gave a small cry and activated his Qi, bringing it towards the ninth dragon vein, also the longest dragon vein.
His powerful Qi turned into a blood-red dragon that released booming roars. It charged like a mighty asteroid to break through the Heavenly Dragon Vein while infinite Qi pushed through behind it!
Being the longest dragon vein, the Heavenly Dragon Vein was almost as long as all the other veins combined. It was also as difficult as breaking through all of them at once. However, Long Chen had already consumed the blood essence of a master and a beast at the Human Core Realm, so the strength and quality of his Qi were at their maximum. The Heavenly Dragon Vein could not hold against his will!
Thick, powerful Qi pushed forward through the vein!
“You can do it!”
Ling Xi watched Long Chen anxiously. Her eyes were fixed on him and her tiny fists were clenched tightly.
Time passed slowly. Although the vein was long, Long Chen was progressing much faster than before. So in fifteen minutes, the ninth dragon vein was completely unblocked!
A low, booming dragon’s roar erupted within his body. The moment his Heavenly Dragon Vein was unblocked, Long Chen felt infinite blood-red dragons roaring manically inside him, as if celebrating his becoming stronger!
Blood-red dragon images appeared on his veins, internal organs, and bones. Although it was a bloody scene, and there were too many of them to count, Long Chen felt no fear. The ancient dragons are incomprehensible beings to me. I wonder if they share any similarities to demonic beasts?
While he was thinking, cracking and snapping sounds came from his bones and internal organs, and his aura suddenly exploded outwards in every direction. He shot up to his feet, then his eyes sprang open and shone brightly!
Feeling the power gushing through his body, Long Chen exclaimed, “Xiao Xi, I have reached the Ninth Draconic Stage! My Qi has increased too; I’m so close to the Human Core Realm!”
Ling Xi was excited as well when she witnessed his excitement. She said hurriedly, “Use the Ascension Fruit now. It’s already been fifteen minutes. If we drag this any longer, those two bastards might come looking for trouble!”
He smirked. “Would they dare touch me while I’m cultivating? The Lingwu family takes their members’ potential very seriously, and advancing in cultivation is an important moment in displaying one’s potential. If they disturb me now, they’ll be in great trouble if news gets out!”
Despite his scoffs, Long Chen did not dare slow down.
He’d gotten the carcass from Yan Beitian and had two powerful enemies nearby. He was aware that cultivating like this was very risky!
Though he also knew that he had no choice but to take the risk. This carcass was an outstanding opportunity for him. If he didn’t take it, he would be in mortal danger once he fell into Huang Feiyang’s and Wen Ya’s hands, who were mid-Human Core Realm cultivators! Do you think a Dragon Warrior like me will still fear you two once I have reached the Human Core Realm?
He smirked, having already taken out the Ascension Fruit from its jade box. He swallowed it immediately because if the fruit’s fragrance spread, it would invite a lot of trouble!
The Ascension Fruit was indeed the best spiritual medicine Long Chen had ever encountered. Although it was only an elementary Black-tier, Ling Xi once said that its price was almost the same as intermediate Black-tier herbs. He wouldn’t be able to buy one fruit even if he had a thousand divine jades.
That was because the Ascension Fruit was just too effective. It was a super herb that could bring a Ninth Draconic Stage warrior to the Human Core Realm in the blink of an eye!
Once the fruit was in his stomach, he felt a refreshing current spread to every corner of his body. It felt the same as plunging into a cool, refreshing pool on a hot summer day!
But after the cool current came a gentle warmth that made him feel like he was soaking in a hot spring. It was extremely refreshing! “You idiot! You need to refine the medicinal power now! Concentrate your Qi at your dantian, then condense it into a divine core!”
Ling Xi woke Long Chen out of his bliss immediately. He quickly activated his Qi according to her instructions and started cultivating the medicinal power that had spread throughout his body! The medicinal power of the Ascension Fruit is as vast and immense as the ocean!
The medicinal power initially concentrated in the fruit expanded into an ocean-like force the moment it entered his body, rolling and surging through him!
Long Chen controlled his Qi, allowing it to pass through every corner of his body to absorb all of the medicinal power.
The amount of medicinal power in his body decreased with time as it was incorporated into his Qi, making the Qi more and more condensed. Once all of the Qi had flowed into the ninth dragon vein and was headed for his dantian, his vast Qi was ten times more condensed than before! The Ascension Fruit seems to have a Qi-condensing effect. It’s no wonder Ling Xi said it would help me reach the Human Core Realm. Who knows how long it would’ve taken if I had to rely on myself to condense the Qi!
Within his dragon veins, all his Qi turned into nine dragons that charged towards his dantian in unison!
Long Chen’s body vibrated greatly as a powerful current whipped around him. His body even started swelling a bit—it was fortunate he had activated the Dragon Soul Transformation. He didn’t know if his original body would’ve been able to withstand all these Qi fluctuations! This process where the Qi charges into the dantian is known as Dantian Collision. If this process is successful, all of the Qi will condense more than ten times over once more! And it’ll turn into the human core!
At such a critical moment, Long Chen had no time to think about anything else. Clenching his teeth, he controlled all his Qi and brought it all towards his dantian!
Nine dragon veins led to the dantian. At this moment, there were nine blood-red Qi dragons charging through them, and they all collided with each other in the dantian!
Long Chen, who had never experienced anything like this before, was so frightened that he turned pale. He expected an explosion after so much Qi collided together!
To his surprise, every blood-red dragon disappeared. First, they lost their heads, then their bodies, then their tails. In the end, they turned into a ball of blood-red mist that completely filled Long Chen’s dantian! The ball of mist is shrinking!
The mist emitted countless dragon roars. However, he was the only one who could hear them. The noise filled him with passion and pride, as if he had returned to the era that belonged to the dragons!
Countless dragons twisted within the blood-red mist. Although they were only illusions, Long Chen was shaken!
The mist slowly shrank along with the illusory dragon images. Fifteen minutes had passed, and Huang Feiyang and the rest were already approaching.
At that moment, a soft pop could be heard from his dantian, and the mist slowly condensed until it finally became a blood-red core the size of a chicken egg!
It was a human core belonging to a Human Core Realm cultivator. Long Chen had once learned about the human core, but now he realized that his core was different from the usual human core—his was red!
More importantly, he discovered a dragon pattern on the human core that emitted a faint, red glow. Although it wasn’t easy to notice amidst the red mist, it contained a majestic aura that sent shivers down his spine!
There was a blood-red dragon engraved on his human core?!
Now that he was a Dragon Warrior, he didn’t find this particularly strange. And he knew that he had fully stepped into the Human Core Realm now.
All the Qi in his body had condensed into a blood-red human core and his body was no longer swelling. Instead, all of his power was contained neatly inside him, and he looked more refreshed. Just like a warm, friendly teenager.
However, if he activated his strength, he would still transform into the massacre king! Although I don’t radiate fierceness like before, I am more than a hundred times stronger now than when I was at the Eighth Draconic Stage!
When he activated the Qi within the human core, he could feel its vast power. From this, he had a rough estimate of his strength. With my current strength and the Dragon Soul Transformation ... Huang Feiyang ...
Long Chen’s eyes glinted coldly when he thought of the person who was waiting to kill him at any moment. I bet you can’t wait to kill me in Yandong Mountain. But when that happens, I’ll give you a huge surprise ... I’ll play along for now ...
When Ling Xi saw that he had successfully reached the Human Pill Realm, she heaved a sigh of relief and eyed him nervously. “Thank goodness you were smart enough to get yourself this Black-tier beast carcass, or you wouldn’t stand a chance. Although your values are questionable, you’ve been very lucky. I think the heavens have gone blind.”
Ling Xi had been speaking her mind more and more around Long Chen these days. He was rendered speechless by her remark and was about to tease her when his expression changed. After putting on a faint smile, he looked outside.
Huang Feiyang, whose face had turned green, was walking over with Wen Ya and the mayor!
