Longzang

Chapter 372: Battle in the Secret Realm
Before Long Ying could even be shocked, he saw the scholar raise the strange weapon in his hand, aim it at his dragon guards, and then countless flying swords blasted out like a raging tide.

A giant shield instantly appeared in his hand, blocking the incoming flying swords in front of his dragon guards. However, with this block, Long Ying felt that the force on the shield was exceptionally light, only at the level of the initial stage of the Dharma Aspect realm. But all the flying swords were imbued with a layer of icy power, and the level of this cold energy was extremely high, instantly covering Long Ying with a thin layer of frost.

Long Ying's body went slightly numb. Not only were his movements slow, but even his mental senses sluggish. Instantly, a warning signal went off in his mind!

At this moment, the shadow in the moon was continuously scattering celestial energy, which was then absorbed by the girl's Yin and Yang. She slowly opened her eyes, and a dragon-eagle was reflected in her pupils!
The dragon eagle let out a hysterical scream, then abruptly stopped!

A bright red sword light flashed across his body in an instant, and then the girl vanished without a trace. Dozens of strands of celestial fortune were only enough for her to make one move.

The last time the old ghost of the remnant clan crashed into the Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, it was purely bad luck and he brought it upon himself. Now that her spirituality is complete, she expends much less energy fighting within the Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains.

Having killed Long Ying right at the start of the battle, Wei Yuan was greatly encouraged. He then took up the Immaculate Reincarnation Sword, equipped with the Crimson Night Immortal-Slaying Sword, and joined forces with the Scholar Dragon Guard to attack the remaining Dragon Guard.

For a time, the hunting secret realm was filled with the crisscrossing sword energy and the booming of gunfire. Wei Yuan sometimes engaged in close combat, and sometimes unleashed a powerful gunshot, making for a spectacular display of fighting.

The machine gun in Wen Shilong's hand roared, instantly firing hundreds of flying swords at his opponent. He easily withstood the terrifying recoil.

Wei Yuan shouted and yelled, and together with the scholar, they fought for three whole hours, finally exhausting the Dragon Guard's magic power and winning the battle.

Wei Yuan himself fired dozens of shots, while the scholar-warrior Long Wei unleashed countless flying swords. Across the vast land, not only were there three Dao Foundation Establishment cultivators, but thousands of mortals were also mobilized to create flying swords. Even so, they could only fire for a dozen seconds after a quarter of an hour.

When Long Wei fell unwillingly, he probably had thousands of tiny wounds on his body.

Wei Yuan's smile was somewhat awkward. Fortunately, his master couldn't enter the hunting secret realm, otherwise he didn't know how much he would be scolded.

With Long Wei dead, the hunting secret realm finally disappeared, and Wei Yuan returned to the outside world.

At this moment, the shaman was calmly meditating with his eyes closed, guarding a group of dying Dao foundations. Zhang Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the boundless snow-capped mountain scenery, completely ignoring the shaman at the Dharma Aspect level.

Although she possessed no magical powers, her every move exuded unparalleled elegance, managing to intimidate the shaman and prevent him from acting rashly.

However, everything depends on the battle in the hunting realm. As long as Zhang Sheng doesn't run away, the shaman doesn't want to test the waters. When around the Dragon Eagle, it's best to avoid acting on your own initiative.

At that moment, Wei Yuan appeared out of thin air, and then the shaman saw the dragon eagle and the dragon guards, their fates unknown. Without a word, he swung his sword at Zhang Sheng, then turned and fled!
The strike was neither too fast nor too slow, forcing Wei Yuan to intercept it. By the time he received the blow, the shaman had already vanished. Blood-red light surged around him, clearly indicating he was burning his life essence and blood, his speed approaching that of the dragon eagle.

Wei Yuan knew at a glance that he couldn't catch up, so he could only let him go, but he secretly memorized the shaman's appearance and spiritual aura.

This guy escaped from Wei Yuan's grasp twice in a row, demonstrating an exceptionally strong intuition for danger. His escape speed is also among the best of all Dharma Aspects, making his ability to survive truly admirable. Next time they meet, Wei Yuan plans to act without hesitation, otherwise, he might escape again.

Both Long Ying and Long Wei are descendants of the true dragon bloodline. After their defeat, their primordial spirits and souls entered the vast rivers and mountains to begin their reincarnation, while their physical bodies and blood essence can also be absorbed by Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan placed his hand on Long Ying's chest, and with a thought, the surging blood energy was absorbed by Wei Yuan like a tide. Any excess was stored in his limbs and bones.

In the blink of an eye, the dragon eagle turned into a dried-up corpse. Wei Yuan then tapped it lightly, and the corpse crumbled into powder.

Wei Yuan used the same method on Long Wei, draining him of his life force until he was a dried-up corpse. However, Long Wei received far less blood essence, less than 20% of that from Long Ying.

At this moment, Wei Yuan discovered that there was a clear difference in strength between the True Dragon Bloodline and the Dragon Guards. Currently, the young girl, Yin Yang, was far ahead, with no rivals around. However, the price she paid was extremely high. Wei Yuan hadn't seen any extraterrestrial fortune for a long time, and all the fortune he had obtained had been used to feed her, leaving him quite in debt.

Secondly, there's Long Ying. If he hadn't encountered the young girl Yin Yang, he could indeed have hunted down Wei Yuan.

Next is the Dragon Guard of the Dragon Eagle, but it is unknown whether its strength will decrease after reincarnation.

In the end, Wen Shi and Wei Yuan both came in last place.

This can actually be broken down further. Because Wei Yuan's reincarnation with the Immaculate Soul also added the Crimson Night Immortal-Slaying Sword, its power far exceeds that of the rotating flying sword cannon in the scholar's hand. Therefore, based on the strength of his original body, Wei Yuan is even lower, belonging to the bottom of the strength rankings.

The devouring among true dragon bloodlines is truly bizarre. Slaying other Dharma forms is a gift from heaven and earth, but among bloodlines, they directly devour each other's souls and flesh, sparing nothing.

Wei Yuan had a vague feeling that if the true dragon did not belong to this world, then the world it inhabited must be exceptionally bloody and evil.

Those dozen or so Liao clan Dao Foundation Establishment cultivators were truly unlucky. Wei Yuan killed them all with a single sword strike. Afterwards, Wei Yuan collected all the valuables from them.

It must be said, Long Ying is truly wealthy. He carries three spatial artifacts, two of which Wei Yuan violently broke open, revealing various pills and rare herbs inside, worth at least a million taels of immortal silver. The remaining armlet is extremely well-sealed; if forcibly broken, it would be completely destroyed, along with its contents, vanishing into thin air. Wei Yuan has temporarily stored it away, waiting for a later opportunity to break it.

Back then, Xu Jingfeng's father, as the head of the Ningxi branch family, diligently embezzled for decades, yet he only managed to steal a small fraction of the loose change Long Ying carried. Wei Yuan merely picked through the items, stuffing what he chose into the spatial storage that Long Ying had deciphered, discarding what couldn't fit, and then quickly left.

After traveling hundreds of miles, it was still some time before it got dark, but Wei Yuan found a cave to hide in and set up an array inside to gradually remove the bloodstains from his body.

The blood seal, drawn by the karma of resentment, was extremely strong, and Wei Yuan only managed to completely remove it as dawn approached. If Ji Liuli had been there, he might have set up an array to curse the shaman in reverse based on the blood seal, but Wei Yuan's skill level was not yet at that level.

At this moment, Wei Yuan moved his body slightly. A small portion of his blood energy remained, unable to be fully absorbed, and settled temporarily. The Dragon Eagle's physical body was also extremely powerful, probably not much weaker than the Witch Clan's Rock Core, and it was more than enough to supply Wei Yuan's physical body.

Wei Yuan's physical body has now recovered to its limit. All that's left is to work hard and gradually transform his blood and qi, so that he can raise his upper limit even further.

With the spirituality of the Dao Foundation replenished, the Ocean of Spirituality is fully formed, and many spiritual beings within the Dao Foundation are reflected in the Ocean of Spirituality.

With the replenishment of the Dragon Eagle Dharma Form and its soul, Wei Yuan's spiritual energy accumulation is now sufficient. He is now only one step away from achieving the Dharma Form; he simply needs to find an opportunity to break through.

Having devoured two true dragon bloodlines in succession, Wei Yuan's cultivation level had caught up with Zhang Sheng and Ji Liuli, and should be even stronger than Bao Yun.

Bloodline devouring is indeed the only way to become stronger, but it's unknown whether such a wicked method might have other hidden dangers. But even if there are hidden dangers, Wei Yuan can't worry about them anymore, because if he doesn't devour others, other bloodlines will come knocking on his door.

Logically, Long Ying should still have two more treasured items belonging to the Bloodline, since he had hunted down a Bloodline. However, Wei Yuan didn't find any, unsure whether they were in that unbroken spatial artifact or simply not brought with him.

Unfortunately, everything of the True Dragon Bloodline can only be devoured by other bloodlines. Furthermore, Wei Yuan's alchemy is also ineffective. Otherwise, refining this much blood essence into a single pill would be a holy medicine for healing, which might be of some use to Zhang Sheng.

Having temporarily shaken off his pursuers, Wei Yuan began to devise a plan to escape.

After the shaman escaped, he would definitely inform others, and the dragon eagle he killed looked like a big shot in the Liao tribe, who might be some kind of young master.

Wei Yuan felt as if he were destined to kill the young master. He killed the young master before he had fully cultivated, and then killed the eldest young master after his strength increased. However, there were many Liao tribes, many Golden Tents, and even more young masters, so killing two wouldn't affect the overall situation.

After pondering for a while, Wei Yuan felt that the Liao people would definitely set up many obstacles on the way back south, and at the same time send a powerful hunting team into the snow mountain to capture him.

The key to escaping is speed and concealment, and the biggest weakness lies with Zhang Sheng.

After careful consideration, with some time left before dawn, Wei Yuan quickly made a frame similar to a lifting pole, with a saddle-like seat in the middle, and then attached a long spray nozzle to each side.

Wei Yuan took a while to adjust, and it was already dawn.

Wei Yuan moved the large rock blocking the cave entrance, carried the newly made device out, then sat in front of Zhang Sheng and behind him, using his Dao power to bind the two of them tightly together.

"Watch out, we're leaving."

Wei Yuan used his Dao power to protect Zhang Sheng's entire body, then leaped up, and powerful airflow shot out from the two nozzles, propelling the two of them away with a whoosh.

Wei Yuan continuously increased the Dao power he input, and his speed increased faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, his speed had exceeded 500 li in a quarter of an hour, which was 4,000 li in an hour. This speed far exceeded the flight speed of ordinary Dharma forms, and was only slightly slower than the maximum speed displayed by the dragon eagle.

Wei Yuan maintained this speed and flew westward. The west was the territory of the Wu tribe, whose vigilance should be somewhat relaxed compared to that of the Liao tribe.

They traveled westward, covering thousands of miles in the blink of an eye. At this moment, at the spot where the dragon eagle had fallen, several figures descended from the sky.

In the center was a Liao woman with fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and elaborate silver ornaments on her head. She slowly squatted down, picked up a handful of soil from the ground, and carefully sensed it. Suddenly, her aura became extremely terrifying, and two pale silver flames shot from her eyes!
She no longer concealed herself, unleashing her aura without restraint, and soon a figure emerged from the depths of the snow-capped mountains. This figure was several meters tall, with a lizard-like head and a long tail trailing behind it.

With each step it took, its long tail lashed out, cracking the earth and demonstrating its terrifying power.

The Liao woman's eyes flashed with murderous intent as she demanded, "Who killed my son?"

Its six amber eyes stared at the woman, revealing a brutal and murderous intent. In a broken voice, it said, "You should consider whether you can leave alive."

Its attitude surprised the woman greatly. She stared at the monster and said, "Don't forget, my son was just one step away from becoming your master. Now that he's dead, you're not even helping me?"

“He’s dead, so he’ll never be again.”
