Chapter 344 - 343: Blessing Jianghai City for a Second Time
Qin Yang had already reached the Middle Stage of Celestial Venerable once before, during his battle with the Beast God.
But now that he had truly reached this realm, he was surprisingly calm, his heart as still as water.
He didn’t feel much excitement.
The Dao’s rhythm was natural, the Dragon’s Might vast.
A powerful energy circulated through his meridians like water, as if he had become one with the Celestial Dao.
’So this is the Middle Stage of Celestial Venerable.’
Sensing this majestic power, Qin Yang didn’t find it unfamiliar. He simply waved a hand, skillfully continuing to master the energy within him and guiding it to release its might.
The next moment,
he casually raised his hand.
The air vibrated!
BOOM!
An even longer and more resounding dragon’s roar shook the heavens, like rolling Celestial Thunder, its power radiating in all directions from Fuhai District.
It seemed to want to shatter the clouds and tear apart the very sky.
A waterfall of golden light poured down, an unrestrained display of his fluctuating majesty, sweeping over all of Jianghai City like a torrential storm.
Mountains, rivers, and all vegetation bowed in submission.
No matter how spectacular the commotion outside,
Qin Yang remained calm inside his room. He sank back into the Enlightenment Space to perceive the gains from his bloodline.
The Dragon’s Might wasn’t the main point.
After all,
the True Dragon Race had ascended from the Extraordinary to the Saint realm. Legends of them dated back to ancient times; even a single drop of their blood or a piece of their bone contained immense opportunities!
’This should be it.’
Qin Yang focused his mind and sank into the Enlightenment Space.
He waited quietly for that drop of Dragon Blood to dry up.
Until all that remained was a wisp of Golden Silk Spiritual Qi...
An ancient, primordial power was contained within. After layers of analysis and deconstruction, a fragmented inherited memory finally presented itself to Qin Yang!
It was a Divine Technique of the True Dragon Race.
’The True Dragon Heaven-Trapping Technique!’
’Holy shit, this is some good stuff!’
Qin Yang’s eyes lit up, and he immediately absorbed and broke down the wisp of Gold Qi.
He began to simulate and comprehend this Divine Technique.
The next moment,
within the Enlightenment Space,
the Gold Qi transformed into a Golden Dragon that roamed the sky.
The vast, boundless firmament was its domain. Wherever the soaring dragon ascended, its claws and scales casually shattered the void, leaving behind ghastly wounds in space.
And below the Golden Dragon, a six-horned, hundred-limbed, pitch-black Fierce Beast was locked in a standoff with it.
An Ancient Battlefield reappeared before Qin Yang.
The world was torrential, filled with a ruthless, killing intent.
Suddenly, the Golden Dragon shot out its scaled claw, slamming it down toward the colossal Star Beast. Its five talons contracted, seeming to pull the vast sky itself into its grasp, locking down the beast’s every move.
As the bare claw pressed down, it was like the descent of heaven’s glorious might.
’So that’s how it works...’
As Qin Yang perceived the Dharma Aspect, understanding dawned in his heart.
’The True Dragon Heaven-Imprisoning Skill. It’s a Divine Technique of the Path of Space. It directly imprisons prey within its claws and drags it into another dimension to be hunted down.’
’Beneath these claws, no living being can escape.’
...
...
「Thousands of miles away.」
Somewhere in the Da Li Mountain Range.
The deep mountains were desolate and silent. Dry bones were scattered everywhere in piles, and a sinister wind howled past.
"Disgusting. Truly disgusting!"
A blood-red figure sat cross-legged amidst a pile of bones. It grabbed a King Level Star Beast—a giant python—with its bare hands, tore off the snake’s head with a huge bite, and swallowed it whole, bones, flesh, and all.
Its ferocity was more savage than any beast’s.
A hair-raising chewing sound echoed eerily through the woods.
Beside it were countless prostrated Star Beasts, trembling in fear. Most of the region’s King Level Star Beasts were gathered here, and under the oppressive pressure, not a single one dared to flee...
"You. You’re next!"
The Beast God pointed at a snow-white direwolf and beckoned with its finger. The pressure coalesced around the wolf’s head.
The King Level Star Beast didn’t dare to resist. With a look of despair and helplessness, it lowered its head and slowly crawled toward the Beast God.
It was like a fish on the chopping block, ready to be slaughtered.
It had only taken a few steps.
When suddenly!
BOOM—
A golden light erupted at the edge of the forest, as if carrying the glorious might of the heavens. It instantly dispersed the pressure in the woods and swept away all the sinister, foul energy.
The pressure vanished abruptly!
In that instant, freed from the oppressive bind, the beasts and birds fled in terror, scattering in all directions.
They sensed that a far more terrifying existence was awakening in this world!
The Beast God before them was nothing in comparison!
"Hm? This aura?"
The Beast God was startled by this. It crushed the snake head in its hand, then abruptly stood up, gazing toward Jianghai, the source of the aura’s explosion.
Its gaze pierced through layers of forest, as if trying to see to the very source.
It hadn’t misjudged...
"Dragon’s Might... This is actually Dragon’s Might!"
He would never forget this aura for as long as he lived.
’In Jianghai City... no, in this entire Lower Realm, only one person has condensed a True Dragon Dharma Aspect.’
’It’s that Qin Yang!’
’He actually broke through to the Middle Stage of Celestial Venerable?!’
At this thought, the Beast God stared at that patch of sky, filled with disbelief. Shocked and bewildered, he almost thought he had to be mistaken.
’No...’
’But this development isn’t right!’
The Beast God’s eyes narrowed in thought.
’How many days has it been since our battle?’
’Last time we fought, I went all out. Even if I didn’t kill him, I should have at least left him with some serious injuries, right?!’
’And now he’s actually broken through?!’
’Reborn from destruction? Could it be he had some kind of epiphany from it?’
The Beast God’s expression darkened as he pondered, his face a mixture of emotions. He quickly assessed the current situation, and a sudden chill ran down his spine. A deep-seated fear of Qin Yang immediately rose within him.
’A True Dragon Dharma Aspect combined with such terrifying Comprehension... that’s an outrageously heaven-defying existence!’
’If I’m not mistaken, he should be at the Middle Stage of Celestial Venerable now. If I just let him continue to develop, reaching Celestial Venerable Perfection will be just around the corner!’
’When that time comes, how could I possibly survive?’
’No, I have to speed up my plans.’
With this in mind, the Beast God paced through the forest, his eyes flickering. He gazed ominously toward Jianghai, and a waterfall of venomous hatred poured from him.
’If this Qin isn’t eliminated, I’m afraid I’ll never have another peaceful day in this Lower Realm...’
...
...
「Meanwhile.」
Outside Fuhai District.
The first light of dawn was breaking.
A gentle morning breeze blew past, carrying the sweet fragrance of grass.
Countless Star Martial Artists sat cross-legged, carefully sensing Qin Yang’s mighty pressure. A faint golden glow enveloped each of them.
What was a terrifying pressure for Star Beasts was, for the Human Race, a blessing of Dao rhythm.
A classic case of double standards!
BOOM! BOOM!
The next moment,
several auras shot toward the sky as their shackles were shattered.
Even more Star Martial Artists’ auras rose steadily, ascending to a higher realm!
"I did it!"
A Star Martial Artist’s eyes shot open, and he excitedly clenched his fist. "Yes! I’ve entered the Innate Realm!"
Reaching the Innate Realm overnight.
He had never imagined he would achieve this today.
The path of Martial Arts is difficult. The Innate Threshold is easy for geniuses to cross, but for ordinary people like them, it’s a mountain they might never surmount in their entire lives...
But now, the shackles that had once bound him were broken last night!
"Not bad,"
Liu Wushuang stroked their Profound Bow, smiling as they watched the scene, their heart filled with emotion.
With this new batch of people entering the Innate Realm, it would only benefit Jianghai City’s future, adding a new round of pillars to its foundation.
"This is the second time the Young Master has blessed Jianghai City..."
