Chapter 131, Section 130: [Lord of Demons and Monsters]

"Defeating just one Dragon King of the East Sea will grant you enough rank transfer to max out the [Demon King] class."

Following this trend, if I could also seize the thrones of the Dragon Kings of the North and South Seas, wouldn't that allow this series of professions to complete their third job advancement?

The massive, broken keel skeleton lies on the seabed, and the murky sand and wisps of decaying flesh floating in the seawater have polluted the area, making it appear hazy and indistinct.

Chen Sheng floated in the turbid seawater, and the dim golden light emitted by his Yin spirit repelled all the filth within a foot around him.

As he looked at the information that appeared on the panel, a thought had just flashed through his mind when he saw the Dragon King of the East Sea wriggle his body and transform into a swimming fish, whipping his tail and fleeing rapidly into the distance.

"Your Majesty, why are you doing this?"

Chen Sheng shook his head and sighed, then reached out and grabbed forward, unleashing a golden handprint that blocked the fleeing fish.

After that, no matter how the fish turned its head and darted around, it eventually walked right into the trap, dizzy and disoriented, and was captured by the closed palm.

Suddenly, the fish spoke in a sincere human voice within the airtight palm.

"Your Majesty, it is Little Dragon who has been defeated."

Today's battle, whether it was the King's cunning and methods in enduring humiliation to steal the Dinghai Divine Needle, or the martial prowess he displayed in the fight, all of it has left Xiaolong completely convinced.

Our demon race has always respected the strong and revered the victor as king.

After this defeat, I, Ao Shun, the Little Dragon of the East Sea, am willing to serve as a lowly soldier under Your Majesty.

For the rest of my life, I will serve you faithfully and at your service.

Moreover, as the king, how can you address me as Your Majesty?

From now on, you can just call me Xiao Shunzi.

Hearing the Dragon King of the East Sea's initial arrogance followed by obsequiousness, Chen Sheng couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, Your Majesty praises me for my cunning and methods in enduring humiliation."

But in my opinion, it is Your Majesty who truly possesses the ability to bend and stretch.

Upon hearing Chen Sheng laugh, the Dragon King of the East Sea couldn't help but become even more humble.

Have you not heard that those who understand the times are the heroes?

"Having encountered such a wise ruler as Your Majesty, the little dragon simply couldn't help but want to bow down in worship."

Chen Sheng controlled the golden hand, bringing it to his front, his gaze as cold and hard as a knife.

"It is said that dragons can be big or small, can rise or hide. When they are big, they can stir up clouds and mist, and when they are small, they can hide their forms. Seeing them today, I can see that they are indeed worthy of the name."

"Dragon King of the East Sea, you'd better stop with your subservient attitude. I have no intention of putting you under my command."

Ao Shun's cultivation level is too high. He is only choosing to endure and bow his head because he is seriously injured and weak.

Given time, once it regains its power, this fourth-tier demonic dragon, which the third-tier binding spell could not subdue, may turn against it at a crucial moment, even if it does not retaliate immediately.

"Your Majesty, since you can't kill Xiaolong, why not give Xiaoshunzi a chance?"

Only time will tell what a person truly is!

Despite Chen Sheng's refusal, the Dragon King of the East Sea remained respectful.

"You think you're immortal? Do you think I can't do anything to you?"

Chen Sheng brought his face close to the golden hand that bound him and took a deep breath.

Gulu!
Instantly, the water in front of me swirled into a whirlpool.

The hand made of spiritual energy, along with the East Sea Dragon King inside, gradually shrank in the vortex, eventually becoming a tiny particle that was sucked into Chen Sheng's nose.

This is the technique of [Pot Heaven]!

A Taoist technique that can be applied to both the body and objects.

Chen Sheng solidified it inside his lungs, and when he used it, he only needed to inhale lightly to draw the substance into his lungs, which had been expanded many times over.

Within the space created by [House Heaven], time does not flow. Whether living beings or inanimate objects, once they enter, they will be frozen in a state, making it ideal for storing items.

Aside from the extremely slow absorption speed, making it difficult to use in actual combat to absorb others when practicing this technique alone, and the fact that [Gourd Heaven] cannot truly be used to escape time, as the souls of living beings in the space will still decay after reaching their lifespan, there are no major drawbacks.

Because Chen Shengcai has only been reincarnated for a little over twenty years, the energy he can devote to this Taoist art is relatively limited, which is why it is currently only at the second level.

However, the level of this technique is only related to the spatial capacity and absorption speed, and has nothing to do with the spatial strength. It is perfectly capable of sealing the fourth-order East Sea Dragon King.

Chen Sheng had no way to deal with the East Sea Dragon King, who was neither killable nor controllable, so he could only seal him away temporarily and deal with him later.

Although being sealed within would still result in death, the Dragon King of the East Sea has already merged his physical body and Yin spirit together. With the long lifespan and powerful vitality of a fourth-order demon dragon, it should be able to last for many years.

Sensing the East Sea Dragon King within the lungs of the Pot Heaven, whose very thoughts were frozen by time, Chen Sheng finally released the [Size-to-Size Combination], restoring the Yin Spirit to its normal size.

Now that the battle was over, his tense nerves finally relaxed.

"This battle is really tough. If the Dragon King of the East Sea could have held out a little longer, I'm afraid I would have been the first to give up."

However, having taken such a great risk, the rewards have been quite substantial.

Chen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, raised the Sea-Stabilizing Needle in his hand, which had shrunk to the size of an ordinary stick, and touched the Yama treasure from head to toe, carefully examining every metal pattern on it, and couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration.

"It possesses five characteristics: water suppression, evil warding, resilience, clone creation, and transformation. All of these abilities are related to combat."

This kind of Yama-fu treasure, specializing in combat, probably won't be obsolete even when I advance to the fifth tier.

All the secret treasures of Jambudvipa in this world have been nourished by the essence of Jambudvipa fruit, and possess extremely powerful abilities.

In the battle just now, the power displayed by the Sea-Stabilizing Needle was already very strong, but Chen Sheng could feel that it was far from its limit.

The description of the [Change] characteristic, "Heavy as Mount Tai, light as a feather," shows that as long as the user has enough magic power, this treasure can be used to smash people with the weight of Mount Tai. Just thinking about it is terrifying; it's ridiculously powerful.

For Chen Sheng, the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) could be considered his second greatest gain after being reborn into this world, second only in importance to his breakthrough to the fourth level of sexual cultivation.

Therefore, he played with the weapon in his hand for a while, twirling it a few times before shrinking it to the size of a needle and inserting it into his ear. Only then did he look at the spoils scattered on the battlefield. They were the fifth-order dragon corpses that the Dragon King of the East Sea called the source of destiny in this world.

After being burst apart by the Sea-Stabilizing Needle, the dragon corpse's spine and ribs were shattered into fragments of bone, with no flesh or blood remaining on the bones.

The only part of the corpse that wasn't burst open was the remaining skull of the enormous demon's head.

Chen Sheng flew over and hovered above the dragon's head, activating [Insight Through Walls] to look at the empty eye sockets beneath his feet, devoid of flesh and blood.

In an instant, a dragon shadow with blue scales suddenly flew out of its eye socket, swam in the water, waved its body, and then turned its head and charged straight at Chen Sheng.

In the blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened, it circled around Chen Sheng's eyes and disappeared into his clear gaze.

But then, one after another, winding dragon shadows burst out from the empty eye sockets.

A crimson dragon soaring through the air on fire, a lithe and majestic black dragon, a blind dragon with no eyes, a mirage dragon riding the clouds, a ferocious and warlike nine-headed dragon, a pterosaur with wings on its back, an ice dragon with a crystal-clear body...

For a moment, even Chen Sheng's divine sense could not clearly see whether there were hundreds or thousands of giant dragons filling his field of vision.

After taking flight, these dragon shadows simply displayed their strong and majestic figures in the water before rushing into Chen Sheng's eyes.

It transformed into a vast and chaotic mass of information, settling within his sea of ​​consciousness.

As he received this information, a vague and ethereal aura that had been shrouding the dragon corpse's head also merged into his own aura.

The moment the two energies merged, the job panel automatically appeared before Chen Sheng's eyes, and the original [Demon King] job also wriggled and changed into the words [Lord of Demons and Monsters].

At the same time, the red canopy covering Chen Sheng's spirit could no longer suppress the surging pillar of destiny above his head.

The straight, golden pillar of fortune pierced through the magical artifact in an instant, then pierced through the thousands of feet deep seawater, broke through the surface, and shot straight into the clear sky in broad daylight, colliding with the Ziwei star that suddenly appeared in broad daylight.

boom!
The dazzling pillar of fortune trembled, and a deafening roar rang in Chen Sheng's ears.

But immediately afterward, as the two connected and made contact, a ray of light fed back from the Ziwei Star tinged the Pillar of Fortune with a soft purple glow.

The unusual phenomena in the outside world are reflected in the job panel by adding a talent called [Ziwei Royal Domain] to the newly added [Lord of Demons and Monsters] job.

[Ziwei Royal Domain]: Using the power of Ziwei Star, a domain covering an area of ​​several miles is created. Within the domain, the caster's status will be greatly enhanced, and those marked as allies by the caster will also receive a slight boost, while others will suffer attribute weakening.

The information flooding into his mind was too complex, interfering with Chen Sheng's reaction speed. He was stunned for a moment before he realized it.

"This is... a job change? This is a little different from what I expected."

During the battle with the Dragon King of the East Sea, Chen Sheng used his [Seeing Through Walls] technique to discover something unusual. He vaguely saw that there seemed to be something in the eye sockets of this fifth-tier dragon corpse.

Unexpectedly, this unexpected discovery allowed the [Demon King] class to complete a job advancement.

The fact that he could obtain a fourth-tier profession so easily excited Chen Sheng, so he immediately focused his mind and began to sort through the information flooding into his mind.

After a moment of sorting, Chen Sheng discovered that this was a cultivation method for the Dao of Destiny called the "Ten Thousand Dragons Scripture," which led directly from the first to the fifth level and contained the complete secrets of the fourth and fifth levels of the Dao of Destiny.

The opening of the "Ten Thousand Dragons Classic" introduces some basic common sense about destiny.

The names of the five stages of the Dao of Fate are Refining Essence, Transforming Qi, Refining Qi, Transforming Spirit, and Refining Spirit, respectively.

The first stage, "Refining Essence," is merely a realm of nourishing the body's qi and blood, strengthening the physique, and improving combat skills.

At the second stage of [Qi Transformation], the body's Qi and blood will be transformed into true Qi, which will slowly accumulate within the body.

At the third level of Qi Refining, one can open the bridge between heaven and earth, absorb the spiritual energy of the outside world, and make one's true energy endless.

The fourth stage, [Transformation into a Deity], is not a deity, but rather a deity that awakens the body's acupoints, allowing the body to gradually reverse its innate state and return to a state of divine enlightenment, possessing various supernatural powers.

The fifth level, [Refining the Spirit], builds upon the fourth level of Body Spirit by combining numerous Body Spirits to cultivate a stronger physical body and generate more powerful life-path supernatural abilities.

Before the fourth level, the Dao of Nature often overwhelms the Dao of Fate with various Dao techniques that have amazing effects.

However, starting from the fourth rank, the powerful vitality and numerous supernatural abilities of the Fate Path allow the two paths to go hand in hand.

This made Chen Sheng realize that it was not surprising at all that martial arts of this level contained a large amount of luck.

Moreover, for Chen Sheng, who obtained the memories of the ghosts of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, the Ten Thousand Dragons Scripture that he accidentally acquired was something he lacked in his future cultivation of destiny.

However, since this reincarnation, Chen Sheng's energy has been completely consumed by the more than twenty Earthly Fiend Daoist arts and five Heavenly Gang Daoist arts he possesses, and he spends most of his daily cultivation time practicing these arts.

Since he had already reached the fourth level of the Dao of Nature, he planned to focus on cultivating Daoist arts before advancing to the fifth level of the Dao of Nature, and not be too distracted by martial arts, so as not to delay the time for the breakthrough of the Dao of Nature.

...The practice plan for this book, "The Ten Thousand Dragons Scripture," has to be postponed.

This extension should be a world in itself.

Because the fifth-tier cultivator inside this Jambudvipa fruit cannot stay for long, Chen Sheng will return to the main world after advancing to the fifth tier.

Therefore, the practice of the "Ten Thousand Dragons Sutra" can only begin after one is reborn into another world.

However, even though Chen Sheng is currently at the fourth level of the Tribulation Realm of the Dao of Nature, it will be extremely difficult for him to break through to the fifth level of the Yang God Realm.

Because Chen Sheng is currently focusing on the [Minor Dragon Binding Hand Seal] of Miaochan Temple. This technique has reached perfection at the fourth level, and there is no way to advance further.

To achieve further breakthroughs, one must switch to another method.

The other Heavenly and Earthly Fiend Taoist arts that Chen Sheng practiced were all combination-type Taoist arts.

For example, the three Heavenly Gang Daoist arts, namely [Controlling the Five Thunders], [Maintaining Size at Will], and [Seeing Through Walls], can only be cultivated to the fourth level and then merged with each other to achieve the fifth level of Thunder Emperor and Lightning Yang God.

The nine Earthly Fiend Daoist arts, such as [Tongyou], [Qushen], [Shehun], [Xutou], [Jiameng], [Fushi], [Hutian], [Zhuihun], and [Yandao], can only be advanced to the fifth rank of Yama's Prison Suppressing Yang God after they have all been cultivated to the third rank.

Each of those fourth-order Daoist techniques requires the collection of the correct Qi (罡煞) to be mastered.

When ordinary people cultivate, they have to expend countless hours of hard work and rely on a series of fortunate coincidences to reach the fifth level.

Fortunately, Chen Sheng has now conquered the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, greatly increasing his strength.

Next, as long as we go to the land of Qi and Lu, we can plot the grand feast of the 108 streams of fierce energy.
