Chapter 435: Collecting the Ascension Pool

Zhang Shicheng's transformation from a dragon was so shocking that it frightened all the masters in the world.

At the Bagua furnace, Xie Xuan looked at the aura of the dragon transforming into a dragon, and his eyes revealed a serious look: "What a terrifying trend, what a terrifying luck. At this time, Zhang Shicheng's strength has already entered the tenth level. Even if he has not completed the seven-day clearance, I can't deal with him."

At the edge of Tianchi Lake, King Pingbian put his hands together and kept praying to Tianchi Lake: "I hope my ancestor can successfully transform into a dragon! I hope my ancestor can successfully transform into a dragon!"

In the mountains farther away, Zhang Chen felt that the dragon vein in the north had been touched, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"The time has come!"

Zhang Chen felt the fluctuating earth veins, and the next moment he saw the water vapor in the air condense into an ice mask, tightly wrapping Zhang Chen's face. Then he directly performed the earth escape technique, and arrived in front of the ascension pool in a few flashes. While various strong men were fighting, Zhang Chen had already appeared under the ascension pool.

Zhang Chen had already performed rituals on the Ascension Pool. At this moment, he stretched out his hand and touched the Ascension Pool. He saw that the Ascension Pool shrank directly and became the size of a fist, which was held in Zhang Chen's hand.

"Everybody stop fighting, he has taken the treasure away!" Suddenly someone from the martial arts world shouted, his voice full of anxiety.

"Boy, leave the treasure behind!" At this time, the sound of a long sword whistling in the wind was heard, and a familiar face appeared in front of Zhang Chen. The long sword in the other party's hand tore through the rain curtain and slashed straight towards Zhang Chen's neck.

"Chai Chuanxin! No, it's that fox from Qingqiu! I didn't expect this bastard to get involved. But this guy is too weird, I don't want to have anything to do with him." Faced with the attack at his fingertips, Zhang Chen had no time to chant the spell to perform the escape technique. The next moment, the mud on the ground rolled up and turned into a hard stone wall, blocking Zhang Chen in front of him.

Chai Chuanxin was stunned when he saw the stone wall in front of him, and was about to use his magical powers to pass through the stone wall, but at this time Zhang Chen had taken the opportunity to chant a spell and directly used the earth escape technique to slip away without leaving any trace.

"You damn bastard, you actually snatched the treasure in front of your grandfather. I will never let you go! I will remember your scent, and I must never see you again." Seeing that Zhang Chen actually escaped directly, Chai Chuanxin's mentality exploded. He and others fought to the death here, but someone took advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of him. It would be strange if he was not angry.

However, Zhang Chen's earth escape technique was invisible and traceless, so even if he was angry, he was powerless and could do nothing to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen escaped from the forest and appeared in a hidden corner. He looked up and down the Ascension Pool for a while before swallowing it into the Basher Space. The level of the Ascension Pool was much higher than that of the Basher Space. Even the Basher Space of the great success level could not do anything to the Ascension Pool.

Zhang Chen got the benefit and returned to the cave happily, only to see Xie Xuan looking nervously at the lake in the distance where lightning was flashing.

Zhang Chen also looked over there, and saw a gigantic monster several thousand meters long rolling on the lake, stirring the waves back and forth. Thunder flashed in the sky, and lightning kept falling, carving the huge dragon's body. At this time, Zhang Shicheng's body had already taken on some shape of a real dragon.

"Have you finished your work?" Xie Xuan heard Zhang Chen's movement, turned his head and took a look, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Just some small things, done easily." Zhang Chen said.

Xie Xuan did not continue to ask, but pointed at the huge dragon body and said: "Have you noticed that there seems to be something wrong with the dragon body in front of you?"

Of course Zhang Chen knew something was wrong. He saw that between the scales of the dragon's body, there seemed to be blood-red rays of light winding and twisting, making the entire dragon's body stained with a strange blood-red color.

Of course Zhang Chen knew what the red light was. The red light was the blood stain and the Blood God Son that he had hidden in the carp's body. It was the backup plan he had secretly left behind.

If the massacre of Zhang Shicheng's soul fails, the Blood God Son will be able to devour the essence of his body, and the blood will pollute his true spirit.

Of course, there is no need to tell Xie Xuan all this, because people always have to keep some secrets between each other.

"Could it be that his bloodline is too powerful and cannot be covered by his fleshly body, so the radiation of his bloodline is revealed?" Zhang Chen lied with open eyes.

Xie Xuan shook his head: "It shouldn't be like this. I felt an extremely evil aura in that blood-red light. That's not Zhang Shicheng's power. There seems to be something wrong with Zhang Shicheng's transformation from a dragon to a dragon."

Zhang Chen glanced at Xie Xuan with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "You really underestimated this old guy." These old guys can cultivate to the Yangshen realm, which is no worse than the top cultivators in mythological novels. They have already mastered some of the principles of the operation of heaven and earth, and have gained some understanding of the mysteries of the laws of heaven and earth. If you dare to underestimate them, you will die without knowing how you died.

"Could there be a problem with this old fellow's dragon transformation?" Xie Xuan muttered to himself and turned to glance at Zhang Chen. He felt that the blood on Zhang Shicheng's dragon and the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword on his body seemed to come from the same source and had some similarities.

Xie Xuan's averted gaze was caught by Zhang Chen. The two looked at each other. Zhang Chen knew that Xie Xuan had seen some clues, so he was very frank and did not hide anything: "I did do something to Zhang Shicheng's dragon body."

He had not yet cultivated the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword at that time. Even if he could draw out Zhang Shicheng's soul, he would not be able to kill him. As long as the time was up, the soul of the other party would return to his body without any loss.

The blood stain and the blood god son are rooted deep in the carp's blood, just to steal Zhang Shicheng's fortune and gradually hollow out Zhang Shicheng.

But now it was different. Plans could not keep up with changes. Zhang Chen's means grew faster than he expected, and many of his preparations seemed useless. But if the Blood God could devour the blood of a real dragon, his cultivation level would definitely increase greatly. It would not be harmful to Zhang Chen, and it was a pleasant surprise.

Xie Xuan looked at Zhang Chen deeply and didn't say much, but his fear of Zhang Chen grew deeper and deeper.

When did Zhang Chen set a trap for Zhang Shicheng, and the Prince of Pingbian was totally unaware of it?
Zhang Shicheng, who was transforming into a dragon over there, also realized something was wrong. Suddenly, blood-red threads appeared in his body, shuttling through his blood, bones, flesh and blood, devouring the essence of his body.

Although that force was very weak and the amount of essence and blood it devoured was just a drop in the ocean, it could not withstand the other party's continuous devouring?

Moreover, that power was integrated with his own blood. Even if he wanted to expel it, he couldn't do it at all. He could only watch.

"This shouldn't be! This shouldn't be! How could this happen?" Zhang Shicheng panicked, cursing in his heart, and tried to use his magical powers to expel the blood-red power, but he couldn't do anything about it. The power had already completely integrated with his body. Moreover, he could feel that deep in the power, there was an extremely evil aura that seemed to be able to pollute everything, and he was so frightened that he dared not act rashly.

Moreover, the transformation into a dragon had already begun, and he could only focus all his energy on transforming into a dragon. How could he have the time to care about the changes in his body?
At this moment, the sky and the earth were in turmoil. The rain in the sky was pouring down like a bucket, and lightning spread down from the clouds, turning into a huge silk net, wrapping towards Zhang Shicheng.

Zhang Shicheng's dragon body continued to struggle in the silk net, enduring the torture of scraping his bones, and his tragic screams echoed throughout the area for hundreds of miles.

At this moment, suddenly a tall figure, dressed in a purple and red robe, appeared on the lake with huge waves.

The figure was dressed in purple and carried a spear on his back. The spear flashed with an inexplicable rhythm. As soon as it appeared, the lightning force between heaven and earth became restless, and its power increased threefold in an instant.

As soon as that figure appeared, the whole world seemed to come to a standstill, with only the wind, rain, thunder and lightning surging between heaven and earth.

"What?" Zhang Chen was stunned when he saw the figure that appeared.

"It was the chief eunuch Dugu Qiu! After Zhang Shicheng transformed into a dragon, he finally couldn't sit still anymore. Once Zhang Shicheng transformed into a dragon, the North would be out of the control of the court and the dragon destiny of the Dasheng Dynasty would be severed. How could Dugu Qiu allow such a thing to happen?" Xie Xuan said.

"A ninth-level warrior, coupled with a twelfth-level artifact, can fight against Zhang Shicheng who has transformed into a dragon." Zhang Chen said.

"Zhang Shicheng, why haven't you died yet! It's been hundreds of years, and you're still troubled every day. Are you tired? Wouldn't it be better to just bury you underground? If you don't have to worry, everyone will worry too. It's good for you, it's good for me, it's good for everyone. Why do you always cause trouble everywhere?" Dugu Qiu's voice was full of complaints, and his voice penetrated the lightning and could be heard clearly by all living beings within a hundred miles.

Zhang Shicheng ignored Dugu Qiu and just turned into a dragon. The King of Pingbian on the shore was immediately anxious: "Dugu Qiu, this is the Northland, what do you want to do? Hurry up and get out of here! This is my ancestor, how can you, a servant, disrespect him?"

"Your Highness, you are mistaken. This is a mysterious monster that has taken away the destiny and fortune of the North. How can it be your ancestor? Your ancestor died a long time ago. Don't let the monster confuse your mind. I will kill the monster and clear your mind." Dugu Qiu chuckled, his voice full of righteousness: "You are confused. How can you recognize a monster as your ancestor? You are a human and he is a fish. You are different species. How can the other party be your ancestor?"

"Dugu Qiu! Don't pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth. I order you to stop immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." King Pingbian was so angry that his body was shaking.

"Haha, Your Majesty, please be patient. When I kill the evil spirit, you will know my loyalty." Dugu Qiu stepped on the water, carrying the punishment from heaven, and walked towards Zhang Shicheng step by step, with murderous intent lingering and accumulating in his eyes.
