Martial Universe: Starting with Lin Langtian, who crippled Lin Dong's father.

Chapter 184 Half-Dragon Body, So Cool! [4000 words]

On the sea of ​​thunder, Little Marten looked at Lin Langtian, who was enveloped in azure light, without any sign of worry. Instead, she turned her gaze to Qingzhi.

"I didn't expect you to be so generous."

With its keen eyesight, it could naturally see just how powerful the inheritance that Aokiji had given to Lin Langtian was.

"It seems that the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan has been preserved quite well. Your ancestor was indeed quite capable, managing to preserve the clan even under such circumstances."

Aokiji stared at the little sable, smiled faintly, and said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Diao's somewhat playful expression gradually faded, replaced by an unusually serious demeanor.

As a member of the Heavenly Demon Mink Clan, he naturally understood what the ancestor Qingzhi spoke of represented.

"What exactly happened back then?" Little Mink hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help asking.

Although it possesses some inherited memories, they are ultimately extremely shallow.

All it knew was that in ancient times, the strongest beings in this world were almost completely wiped out by a catastrophe.

In that catastrophe, countless top experts perished...

Aokiji pursed his lips, his mouth moved slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything. He shook his head.

"You might find out later, but not now."

Little Marten frowned. He could tell that the Azure Pheasant seemed to be very wary of, or even... afraid of, the so-called calamity. This discovery made Little Marten, who was usually fearless, feel a little uneasy.

This Aokiji is definitely stronger than it was in its prime.

But even such a person was so afraid of that ancient calamity.

Just how terrible was that calamity?

Is there really something in this world that possesses the earth-shattering power to cause the downfall of those ancient powerhouses?

"laugh!"

As the little sable was shaken by this, a deep roar suddenly came from within the blue light.

The voice seemed to come from Lin Langtian, but it also had a peculiar fluctuation.

The little sable looked over.

Within the blue light, Lin Langtian's body was seen to be wriggling slightly.

It was as if something wanted to break free of its body, but something was missing, preventing it from taking that final step.

"To cultivate the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique, the Qi of the Heavenly Dragon is indispensable; otherwise, one cannot even begin to grasp its essence..."

Looking at Lin Langtian struggling in the blue light, Qingzhi smiled and said.

"The aura of the Heavenly Dragon? Then the inheritance you gave him is useless?"

Little Mink frowned and said, "The aura of a true dragon is something that only those with pure dragon blood can possess. Obtaining it is not an easy task."

Aokiji smiled, waved his sleeve, and the huge azure dragon beneath his feet roared out, finally transforming into a deep azure beam of light that shot out.

The deep blue beam of light swept across the sky, and a powerful aura emanated from it.

"The aura of a celestial dragon?"

Noticing the somewhat unfamiliar fluctuation, the little sable slowly nodded.

"call out!"

A deep blue beam of light streaked across the sky and finally pierced directly into Lin Langtian's body.

The azure light instantly solidified, and the surface of Lin Langtian's body within it began to writhe wildly, emitting low growls filled with pain.

"The Heavenly Dragon Qi is the foundation of the dragon race's cultivation. Ordinary human bodies cannot easily contain it. However, I have provided everything. Whether he can subdue this rare Heavenly Dragon Qi depends on his own ability. If he cannot even pass this first test, I'm afraid he will find it difficult to achieve anything with the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique."

Aokiji looked at Lin Langtian, who was roaring in a low voice amidst the blue light, and said in a calm voice.

Little Mink didn't say much about it.

The Qi of the Heavenly Dragon is a treasure to many powerful humans. If one can refine it, it will have an extremely powerful effect on strengthening one's physical body.

However, this also belongs to the dragon race, and humans would have to take considerable risks if they wanted to absorb and contain it with their relatively fragile bodies.

However, Little Marten had a lot of confidence in Lin Langtian, who could pass through the mental millstone as easily as drinking water, and even subdue the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.

Although this Heavenly Dragon Qi is powerful, it might be a bit difficult to make Lin Langtian suffer a setback.

"roar!"

Under the watchful eyes of the little sable and the blue pheasant, the figure enveloped in blue light struggled even more fiercely.

A series of violent fluctuations also continuously emanated from it.

"Bang bang bang!"

Amidst the roar, the figure within also suddenly threw a punch.

A terrifying gust of wind swept out, directly blasting huge craters into the sea of ​​lightning below.

However, as this violent force was released, the pain in Lin Langtian's voice gradually subsided.

Although the dragon's aura was extremely violent, his physical body was not comparable to that of ordinary strongmen. After experiencing some pain, he showed signs of adapting.

After all, Lin Langtian had almost become accustomed to that kind of pain during his two-week trip to the Thunder Sea...

As Lin Langtian gradually adapted to the roaring aura of the Heavenly Dragon beneath him, the azure light on his skin began to writhe wildly, eventually seeping out something resembling a layer of azure keratin.

"So the Azure Dragon skin has been formed..." Aokiji smiled as he watched this scene, then nodded slightly.

"roar!"

From within the blue light, another roar resounded.

But this time there was no pain at all; instead, it sounded exceptionally clear and melodious. The figure within trembled and burst out from the pervasive blue light, hovering steadily in mid-air.

That figure was none other than Lin Langtian.

At this moment, his entire body was enveloped in a blue light, which condensed on the outside of his skin, as if forming a special membrane.

Moreover, the membrane seemed to faintly resemble dragon patterns.

Lin Langtian looked down at his body with some excitement, clenching his fist. He could feel the terrifying, surging power within him.

His physical body is now significantly stronger than it was before, compared to the fragile mage he once was.

"What powerful martial arts."

Lin Langtian grinned, his eyes gleaming.

When the "Azure Dragon Transformation Technique" is cultivated to its peak, the physical strength of the user is almost comparable to that of real dragons.

Everyone knows that the dragon race has the strongest physical body in the world of demon beasts.

Yet a human being is able to cultivate their physical body to such a terrifying level; such martial arts are enough to awe the heavens and earth.

Lin Langtian is currently only at the beginner level, but his physical strength has increased several times compared to before.

The layer of bluish-green membrane on the surface of his body looks fragile, but its defensive power is probably even stronger than his current Nirvana Golden Body.

"Hehe, to be able to cultivate the Azure Dragon Skin so quickly, your talent is indeed quite impressive..." Qingzhi looked at Lin Langtian, who was beaming with excitement, and laughed.

"Thank you, senior."

Lin Langtian's smile vanished, and he respectfully bowed to Qingzhi as a junior.

He knew very well what a precious gift Aokiji had given him.

"The fact that you were able to see my afterimage is a kind of fate."

Aokiji waved his hand, then let out a meaningful sigh.

"Moreover, it's always good to have one more powerful figure in this world..."

Lin Langtian nodded knowingly, and at the same time, he was also delighted.

This statement implies that if something happens to you in the future, this person will most likely step in to protect you.

"You'll understand later. You possess the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, and perhaps you won't be able to hide from it even if you want to..." Qingzhi smiled, not exposing Lin Langtian's "pretending to know what he doesn't."

"Alright, the inheritance has been given to you. My mission as an afterimage is complete, and perhaps it's time for me to dissipate into the world..."

As soon as Aokiji finished speaking, Lin Langtian noticed that his body was gradually becoming illusory.

"The Thunder Sea will also disappear after I disappear. In this Azure Dragon Palace, there is a Dan River that I left behind, which can be considered my last benefit to you."

The figure of the blue pheasant became increasingly ethereal, and finally, under Lin Langtian's gaze, it completely disappeared.

"Lin Langtian, we'll meet again someday, but I hope you won't disappoint me then. My legacy isn't meant for mediocre people..."

As Aokiji's figure disappeared, a final, slightly chuckled voice echoed slowly across the sea of ​​lightning.

Above the sea of ​​lightning, Aokiji's figure finally vanished completely, and the pervasive pressure gradually weakened.

Lin Langtian stared at the spot where Qingzhi's figure had disappeared, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. This fortune was indeed abundant.

"This guy is pretty tough," the ferret said, rubbing its furry face with its paws.

Lin Langtian smiled. Of course, it's impressive that someone can live from that ancient era to the present.

This Aokiji is the real old monster.

"But this guy is quite generous."

Lin Langtian wholeheartedly agreed with this.

Although he couldn't fully grasp the "Azure Dragon Transformation Technique" given to him by Qingzhui, he could vaguely sense its vast and powerful nature.

If one could cultivate it to its full potential, its power would be quite terrifying.

And which boy could resist the temptation of becoming a half-dragon? Just thinking about it gets his blood pumping.

The "Azure Dragon Transformation Technique" is not like the "Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger," which is merely an offensive martial art.

To some extent, it can be considered an extremely profound body-refining martial art.

Successful cultivation will make the body stronger from the inside out, and with a strong body, every move will unleash astonishing destructive power.

Every punch and finger strike is comparable to martial arts.

Of course, Lin Langtian is clearly not at that level yet.

Even with the "Heavenly Dragon Aura" left to him by Aokiji, he could only begin to grasp the basics.

Even so, it was only then that he began to experience the benefits of the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique.

That layer of "Azure Dragon Skin" alone greatly enhanced his physical body.

Moreover, Lin Langtian did not completely absorb that "Heavenly Dragon Qi".

Even with the "Devouring Ancestral Symbol," he clearly cannot refine such powerful "Heavenly Dragon Qi."

This "Heavenly Dragon Qi" will remain in his body, and as his strength increases, it will gradually and perfectly merge with his physical body.

When the "Heavenly Dragon Qi" perfectly merges with Lin Langtian, his physical body will probably become as monstrous as those demonic beasts.

It did finally make up for its weakness of being fragile.

Previously, I focused on cultivating my mental strength, neglecting the training of my physical body. Now, it's no exaggeration to say that I can ascend to the heavens in one step.

"Splash!"

As Lin Langtian rejoiced over his gains, the seemingly endless sea of ​​lightning finally began to stir.

The surrounding space began to distort, and the churning thunderclouds in the sky dissipated rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Is it going to disappear...?"

Watching the commotion, Lin Langtian murmured to himself.

As Aokiji said, this Azure Dragon Trial will gradually disappear after he vanishes.

The distortion of space grew more and more intense until, almost like a shattered mirror, it collapsed completely amidst a series of cracking sounds.

As Lei Hai collapsed, the surrounding space seemed to become chaotic again. Looking around, the gray space was filled with silence.

"Splash!"

Lin Langtian hovered in this void, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked ahead.

There seemed to be the sound of clear water coming from there, and faintly, a vast and surging aura of rebirth was also erupting like a volcano.

Under the impact of that overwhelming aura of rebirth, the hazy colors ahead quickly faded away.

A magnificent river, roughly a thousand feet long, appeared dazzlingly in Lin Langtian's sight.

The river was crimson red, and its water was quite viscous. On the surface of the river, there were even crimson flames floating, which were the Nirvana Fire that would condense after the Nirvana Qi had become powerful enough.

Clearly, this river is also a Dan River, and judging from its quality, it is undoubtedly much better than the one Lin Langtian saw outside.

Lin Langtian gazed enviously at the dazzling Dan River. To condense such a high-quality Dan River, the amount of Nirvana Pills required was terrifying. Qing Zhi Liu was truly generous...

"Not a bad place, hey, looks like Aokiji did me a favor too."

Little Marten looked at the Dan River flowing through the void ahead and nodded in satisfaction.

It has now obtained the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, but if it wants to condense a physical body, it still needs an extremely large amount of energy to support it.

The Dan River, which is currently in use, has solved its immediate problem.

Lin Langtian smiled and nodded.

If Little Marten can restore his physical body, although his strength may not be able to return to its peak immediately, he can at least reach the level of a fourth or even fifth-level Nirvana.

"It may take me quite a while to condense my physical body."

"It's alright. I also need to cultivate here to try and overcome the third Nirvana Tribulation."

Lin Langtian laughed and said that the goal of this trip was to help Xiao Diao regain his physical body, and everything else was just an auxiliary task. Now Xiao Diao is about to regain his physical body.

So he wasn't in a hurry to go out, since he couldn't find such a perfect place to cultivate outside.
