Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 551 You Don't Want It, I'll Give It To You

Time flies, and half a year has passed quietly.

Inside the Azure Dragon Palace, the sea of ​​thunder still surged and roared with lightning.

Aokiji's gaze pierced through the sea of ​​lightning, looking towards the Dan River deep within the Azure Dragon Palace, and his eye twitched involuntarily.

"Could such a physical body truly appear in a human being?"

Aokiji murmured softly, his eyes filled with both shock and bewilderment.

For the past six months, he has watched helplessly as the once thousands of feet long, dazzling Dan River has been gradually shortened and thinned, as if being devoured by an invisible behemoth.

The crimson flames of rebirth on the river, which once burned fiercely, are now gradually dimming and extinguishing, like candles flickering in the wind.

Compared to six months ago, the Dan River is now only half its original size.

As a member of the dragon race, Qingzhi's physical strength was already among the best on the continent.

When he was in the Nirvana Realm, the amount of Nirvana Qi he absorbed far exceeded that of ordinary people, enough to make him stand out among his peers.

Even he, back then, absorbed only half of the Nirvana Qi in the Dan River.

The black-robed youth in the Dan River had already devoured half of the Dan River in just half a year!

The key point is—judging from his expression, he doesn't seem to be full yet!

At this moment, Aokiji could clearly sense that earth-shattering changes were taking place within Xiao Bai's body.

The already formed Nirvana Golden Body is undergoing further transformation.

Within the dantian, the primordial elixir began to evolve, gradually condensing into a blurry phantom of a primordial spirit.

"No wonder this guy is so obsessed with the Nirvana Pill—"

Aokiji shook his head slightly: "Just completing the Nirvana Realm requires almost an entire high-quality pill river. Even a super sect probably couldn't afford to support many people like that!"

He had lived for thousands of years and seen countless geniuses, but he had never seen anyone consume resources like Xiao Bai before.

This can no longer be described as "extraordinary talent," it's practically a "money-devouring beast"!

"Those super sects in the Eastern Xuan Region are probably laughing in their sleep this time!"

Aokiji naturally knew that the ancient battlefield was now controlled by several super sects in the Eastern Xuan Region, serving as a testing ground for the Hundred Dynasties War.

During each Hundred Dynasties War, the major super sects would select outstanding disciples from among the participants.

If those sects knew that a monster like Xiao Bai existed, they would probably fight tooth and nail to get him!

If it weren't for the reasons related to the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, Qingzhi would have even wanted to immediately summon his true form and forcibly take the boy back to the Demon Realm to be raised by the Dragon Clan.

This potential is worth investing in at any cost!

"what?"

Just then, Aokiji suddenly sensed something, withdrew his gaze from the Dan River, and looked up at the sea of ​​thunder.

There, on the edge of the Thunder Sea, a figure was struggling to move forward.

"That little guy passed the Thunder Sea test?!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Aokiji's eyes.

Where his gaze fell, a figure radiating a faint golden light was enduring the torrent of violent lightning, yet remained completely still.

He was a boy of about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a tall and straight figure and a resolute look between his brows.

"Heh, now that's more like a normal trial participant!"

Aokiji's lips curled into a smile, his mood instantly brightening considerably: "I knew it! How many freaks in this world could possibly ignore a sea of ​​lightning?"

He completely forgot that, over the years, only this one person had truly passed his Thunder Sea Trial.

Other challengers either died in the sea of ​​lightning or gave up in the face of difficulty.

With a swift movement, Aokiji transformed into a streak of azure light and sped towards Lin Dong's location.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the Thunder Sea.

Lin Dong frowned slightly and looked into the distance.

He had been traveling through the sea of ​​thunder for more than ten days, enduring countless thunderbolts.

Based on his feeling, the effects of the Thunder Sea Trial were becoming increasingly weak—

His physical body, tempered by lightning, had reached a bottleneck; continuing further would yield very limited gains.

Logically, the trial should have ended by now.

But before them, there was still a vast silver ocean, with thunder roaring and lightning flashing, without any change.

"Should we continue forward?"

Lin Dong hesitated.

Just then, "whoosh!"

The sea suddenly surged with waves!

Giant waves surged into the sky, creating waves tens of meters high!

Amidst the surging waves, an unimaginably massive shadow was rapidly rising from the depths of the Thunder Sea!

"What is this?!"

Lin Dong's pupils constricted sharply, and the hairs on his body stood on end!

The shadow grew larger and clearer—

"roar-!!!"

A deafening dragon roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

"A dragon—it's a dragon?!"

Lin Dong's mouth was wide open, his throat was a little dry, and his eyes were full of shock.

This was only the second time in his life that he had seen a dragon.

The first time was in the back mountain of the capital, when Senior Xiao Bai broke through to the Nirvana Realm, and a purple-gold dragon shadow appeared in the sky.

But that was just an unusual phenomenon.

And this one in front of us—is a real dragon!

At this moment, he felt his spiritual power being forced back to his Niwan Palace by the oppressive aura emanating from that enormous creature!

Seeing this, the ferret swung out a claw.

The purplish-black light transformed into a protective shield, enveloping Lin Dong and isolating him from the terrifying dragon's might.

"call----"

Lin Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the shock in his heart remained undiminished.

"Heavenly Demon Sable—"

A phantom of Aokiji appeared atop Aokiji's head, its gaze falling on Little Marten, and it chuckled softly.

Immediately, his gaze shifted to Lin Dong, and seeing the shock on the boy's face, a sense of satisfaction suddenly arose in his heart.

That's more like it!

This is the reaction a normal trial participant should have!

Unlike that freak in Danhe, who spotted him as soon as he entered and showed no surprise at his dragon form, leaving him with no sense of accomplishment!

"My name is Qingzhi, and I am commonly known as the Azure Dragon King."

The phantom of Aokiji spoke, its voice gentle yet imposing.

"Aokiji?!"

Lin Dong and Xiao Diao exchanged a glance, their eyes both showing surprise.

At the same time, the name that Senior Xiao Bai had mentioned in Thunder Rock Valley half a year ago flashed into his mind!

Could it be that back then—it was this very Azure Dragon King before us?!

"You seem to have heard of my name?"

Aokiji keenly noticed the change in their expressions, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

Lin Dong's heart tightened, and he quickly shook his head.

He's not stupid.

On that day, Senior Xiao Bai and this Azure Dragon King had a soul-to-soul exchange. Although it was just a "touch", judging from the way the space shattered, it was probably more than just a "touch".

If we were to speak out, and the Azure Dragon King were to hold a grudge, today's inheritance might be ruined!

"Junior Lin Dong greets the Azure Dragon King!"

Lin Dong quickly changed the subject, respectfully clasping his hands in a fist salute.

Seeing this, Aokiji didn't pursue the matter further.

He is the Dragon Clan's Elder of Punishments, and this kid has a Heavenly Demon Sable by his side, so it's not surprising that they know his name.

However, seeing Lin Dong's politeness, Aokiji's smile widened even more.

"Stop dawdling. Now that this guy has shown up, it means you've passed the trial. Hurry up and have him pass on the inheritance to you."

Lin Dong was still being polite, but Little Marten pouted impatiently.

He could sense that the blue pheasant in front of him was just a phantom, and since it was a dragon, he didn't bother to be polite.

Aokiji glanced at him, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. He then turned to Lin Dong and slowly said, "I have two choices here: inheritance or the Nirvana Pill. Which do you choose?"

Before Lin Dong could speak, Little Marten became indignant, looking at Qingzhi with disdain: "Hey, you dragon, you're supposed to be one of the overlords of the demon race, why are you so stingy about leaving behind your legacy? Nirvana Pills, only a fool would choose that, we want—"

But before he could finish speaking, a "Hmph!" rang out.

A cold snort exploded in his ear without warning!

The sound wasn't loud, but it seemed to explode directly in the depths of one's soul!

The little ferret's body trembled suddenly, and its voice stopped abruptly!

His expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty, his pupils darting around as he looked around as if searching for something.

"A ferret?"

Lin Dong noticed that Xiao Diao's expression changed drastically, and his previous arrogance vanished instantly, which puzzled him.

He didn't know what had happened, but he sensed that the little ferret had suddenly become unusually tense.

Little Mink was indeed extremely guilty at this moment.

That cold snort—he knew it all too well!

At that moment, he suddenly remembered that Xiao Bai had mentioned that Qingzhi was stingy and wouldn't let him see the Dan River.

Combined with his earlier statement that "only a fool would choose the Nirvana Pill," he was stunned by a cold snort, leaving his primordial spirit momentarily dazed.

"You tricked me?!"

The little sable suddenly looked up, staring directly at the blue pheasant, its heart filled with rage.

This guy was definitely unhappy with his previous tone and deliberately set a trap for him.

That person must have heard it!

"Hehe—you said it yourself, I didn't force you."

Aokiji narrowed his eyes slightly, a strange light flashing in his pupils.

He did indeed intend to tease the little sable, wanting to teach this arrogant little sable a lesson.

But the results were better than he had expected.

The black-robed youth merely snorted, and the Heavenly Demon Sable cowered instantly, like a mouse before a cat!

"Wow, that's really something!"

Aokiji was speechless: "They attack the Dragon Clan, one of the Four Great Overlords, with full force, but they are so subservient to a human boy in the Nirvana Realm."

At this moment, Aokiji's curiosity about Xiao Bai's identity reached its peak.

This Heavenly Demon Sable was a powerful expert at the peak of the Death Profound Realm in its previous life, just one step away from stepping into the Reincarnation Realm.

It's not enough for it to be so terrified that simply devouring the ancestral symbol is enough.

That boy in black robes—he must have many more secrets!

Only Lin Dong looked on, completely bewildered, at the inexplicable conversation between the little sable and the Azure Dragon King.

He had no idea what had happened.

However, his confusion quickly turned into surprise.

Because Aokiji gave him a legacy, and not just the legacy of the Azure Dragon Palace, but his own.

Three large, golden characters appeared in my mind:

The Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Technique!

Following this were a series of cultivation diagrams, incantations, and insights—

This is not just a martial arts inheritance, but also Aokiji's own understanding and experience of this technique!

Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Technique, a top-tier body-refining martial art!

When cultivated to its peak, the physical body can transform into a blue dragon, becoming incomparably powerful!

Such a legacy, if displayed outside, would be enough to cause a stir throughout the entire Eastern Xuan Region!

"Thank you so much, senior!"

After a long while, Lin Dong processed the information in his mind, his smile faded, and he respectfully performed a junior's salute.

Not only did they provide the cultivation method, but they also gave us the Heavenly Dragon Qi needed for beginners.

This kindness is immense!

"It's fate that you were able to meet me."

Aokiji waved his hand gently.

But if you look closely, you can see a hint of solemnity and a trace of—faint fear—hidden deep in his eyes.

After a long silence, he sighed softly, his voice tinged with a sense of vicissitude: "In this world, every additional strong person brings more hope. Cultivate diligently."

It was with this in mind that he allowed the black-robed youth to enter Danhe without hesitation after realizing his extraordinary nature.

The enemy is too powerful.

The teammates who could fight alongside him had mostly perished after the last ancient war.

Most of the rest either live in seclusion or are still recovering from injuries.

This land desperately needs more new powerful figures to emerge and protect it together.

Instead of relying solely on these... former losers.

Lin Dong was taken aback, somewhat confused by the deeper meaning behind Aokiji's words.

But he could sense that the Azure Dragon King's words contained a heavy sense of mission.

"Alright, the inheritance has been given to you. My mission as an afterimage is complete. It's time to dissipate—"

As soon as Aokiji finished speaking, his figure suddenly became illusory, like a reflection in water, as if he might disappear at any moment.

He turned his head and looked deeply into the direction of the Dan River, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Aokiji raised his hand and pointed out a finger out of thin air.

"call out!"

A beam of green light shot out from his fingertips and disappeared in a flash.

A faint smile appeared on Aokiji's lips as he murmured softly, "You don't want it, but I'll give it to you anyway."

Having done all this, Aokiji's phantom became increasingly transparent. He withdrew his gaze, and his voice gradually faded: "After I dissipate, the sea of ​​lightning will also dissipate."

"Within this Azure Dragon Palace, I have left behind a Dan River as a final favor for you, but—"

He glanced one last time at Lin Dong and Xiao Diao, his gaze sweeping over the excited Lin Dong before finally settling on Xiao Diao.

Recalling the sable's reaction to that soft hum, a playful smile flashed in his eyes: "There's someone in seclusion in the Dan River; I think he—wouldn't mind having a couple more 'acquaintances'."

Upon hearing this—

Lin Dong was taken aback: "An acquaintance?"

Little Mink almost jumped up and started cursing!

However, upon seeing that the phantom of the blue pheasant had completely dissipated, turning into specks of blue light and merging into the sea of ​​lightning, he felt as if he wanted to cry but had no tears.

We're doomed!

That person is indeed here!

And he even went into seclusion in the Dan River!

I just said, "Only a fool would choose the Nirvana Pill" —

The little sable felt a chill run down its spine and wished it could slap itself twice.

At this moment, as the phantom of Aokiji dissipated, the entire Thunder Sea began to undergo dramatic changes.

"Rumble—"

The thunder gradually subsided.

The silvery sea of ​​lightning rapidly contracted and dissipated, like the receding tide.

The thunder subsided, and the lightning disappeared.

In just a few breaths, the vast sea of ​​lightning vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

In its place was a vast, empty hall.

In the center of the main hall, a crimson river flows quietly, exuding a majestic aura of nirvana.

Deep within the Dan River, a figure sitting cross-legged can be vaguely seen, enveloped by a massive vortex of devouring energy, which is frantically consuming the Nirvana Qi within the Dan River.

Lin Dong's gaze fell on the Dan River. After a slight pause, his eyes immediately lit up with surprise!

He finally understood who the "acquaintance" Aokiji was referring to was!

"senior?!"
