Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

The Dragon Carved Stone Pillar was over nine zhang tall, with nine Five-Clawed Golden Dragons coiling upwards around it. Their nine heads gazed toward the firmament, ferocious and majestic!

A single glance revealed that aside from the reliefs of True Dragons, the four Dragon Carved Stone Pillars were also engraved with mysterious patterns.

Ye Wushuang walked toward the Dragon Carved Stone Pillar in the southeast corner.

Engraved on the stone pillar was a scene.

In the scene, a Supreme True Dragon emerged from the Chaos, only its upper body visible. Before it stood a group of bizarre-looking creatures wielding heaven-piercing weapons, locked in a standoff with the dragon.

According to the relief, the Supreme True Dragon had only revealed two of its claws, yet in the space around them, stars crumbled and the Chaos itself collapsed.

On the opposing side, many creatures were prostrated on the ground, as if in terror.

”What does this mean?”

Ye Wushuang stared for a long while, but he couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

”This records a battle scene of the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon.”

The Dragon Cat, who was right behind Ye Wushuang, mused, ”Try using your Divine Sense. There might be something hidden within.”

’Something hidden inside?’

Ye Wushuang’s heart skipped a beat. He cautiously released his Divine Sense, letting it envelop the depicted scene.

Hm?

Ye Wushuang let out a gasp of surprise. To his astonishment, the figures in the relief were moving, and light was flowing through the carving.

Ye Wushuang quickly retracted his Divine Sense and watched the changes.

The light grew ever more brilliant, shrouding Ye Wushuang as countless golden streams poured into the spot between his eyebrows.

Before Ye Wushuang could even react, the scene from the relief appeared in his mind, clearer and more vivid than before.

In the scene, a behemoth stepped out of the Chaos.

Even with his rock-solid composure, Ye Wushuang’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw this behemoth.

’The Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon!’

’This behemoth must be the Chaos Overlord the Dragon Cat mentioned!’

It was gargantuan. Its body alone seemed to overwhelm half the Chaos. Before it, even the boundlessly vast Ancient Stars were as insignificant as motes of dust.

Its body stretched deep into the Chaos, its colossal dragon head looking down upon all creation.

Before it, countless colossal giants wielding Heaven-Supporting Giant Axes charged, madly hacking and slashing at the dragon.

The Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon looked down on all life with arrogant disdain. With each step, hundreds of millions of stars were annihilated. The colossal giants, suppressed by its supreme Mighty Power, were instantly obliterated, their gushing blood forming a sea.

”Heaven-Devouring Dragon Secret: Seven Steps of the Reversed Dragon!”

A powerful, resonant voice, seemingly from the Chaos itself, traveled across the ages to echo in Ye Wushuang’s ears.

”’To reverse is to follow one’s will. A single thought can be Heaven and Earth; a single thought can be Eternal. As vast as the world is, seven steps mark its end. One step, then another, is the way of mortals. A tread of the Seven Steps is the Heaven and Earth Technique...’”

A Profound incantation chanted endlessly in Ye Wushuang’s mind, and a Heaven and Earth Technique based on speed unfolded before his very eyes.

’The Heaven-Devouring Dragon Secret!’

Ye Wushuang was utterly floored. ’Seven Steps of the Reversed Dragon... crossing the entire world in just seven steps? What kind of Body Technique is this?’

’A Heaven and Earth Technique? A Divine Demon Technique?’

Ye Wushuang quietly absorbed the sudden influx of information while observing the steps of the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon. Each step annihilated billions of stars, like an apocalyptic event.

’Is this the First Generation Body of the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon?’

’If one day, I also manage to forge the First Generation Body, I wonder if I’ll be this heaven-defying?’

At this moment, Ye Wushuang was filled with boundless yearning.

RUMBLE!

The Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon completed its seven steps. The countless colossal giants collapsed, their bodies transforming into heaven-supporting mountain ranges and their blood becoming a vast ocean.

At that moment, the scene vanished.

But the information remained permanently in Ye Wushuang’s mind.

After processing the vast amount of information, Ye Wushuang now had a basic understanding of the Seven Steps of the Reversed Dragon.

It was one of the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Secrets, a Supreme Body Technique that fused speed and power. Its speed was heaven-defying, but its destructive power was even more so. This was one of the unique signature techniques of the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon.

If Ye Wushuang cultivated it, his speed would be on a completely different level, and his strength would soar as well.

Of course, Ye Wushuang’s current strength was far too weak. Compared to the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon, he was worlds apart—there was no question about it.

Unless, one day, Ye Wushuang truly forged the First Generation Body and transformed into a Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon, only then could he achieve such an effect.

He withdrew his Divine Sense, and his gaze turned to the other three stone pillars.

From the information he had just received, Ye Wushuang also learned that the patterns on the other Dragon Carved Stone Pillars recorded four more terrifying Cultivation Techniques, all part of the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Secret.

However, his Divine Sense wasn’t strong enough to probe them. After a brief look at the reliefs, he decided against trying to force it.

’The Heaven-Devouring Dragon Secret... a single Secret Technique from it is so heaven-defying. This is probably the most precious treasure on this third level.’

’And there’s still a fourth level, a fifth level...’

’I wonder what awaits me there? Opportunity, or death?’

Ye Wushuang remained skeptical. He didn’t let his guard down around the Chaos Dragon Tomb just because of the treasures on the third level; after all, the Chaos Dragon Tomb was far too mysterious.

The Dragon Cat had mentioned before that the previous owners of the Chaos Dragon Tomb had risen to power quickly, but all of them had met with mysterious ends. This showed that the Chaos Dragon Tomb was not so simple.

Seeing Ye Wushuang come back to his senses, the Dragon Cat asked curiously, ”So, kid? What did you get?”

”A Secret Technique of the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon!”

Ye Wushuang didn’t hide it.

”A Secret Technique of the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon! Could this be a coincidence?”

The Dragon Cat muttered to itself. He had just been planning on how to help forge the First Generation Body of the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon, and now, right here, Ye Wushuang had obtained one of its Secret Techniques.

”GYA GYA GYA, kid, this is great news!” the Dragon Cat cackled, a wide grin on its face. ”Now, get back out there and deal with what’s waiting for you. Try not to die.”

Ye Wushuang sent his Divine Sense outward and discovered that as the devouring vortex shrank, the shadowy figures had reappeared. Moreover, their strength was increasing, almost reaching the Spiritual Spring Fourth Layer.

Ye Wushuang’s expression changed instantly.

Immediately, his Divine Sense withdrew from the Chaos Space.

Seeing this, the Dragon Cat grinned slyly. Its eyes darted about before landing on the Dragon Blood Pool.

’Hmph, kid. If you won’t take Lord Cat with you, Lord Cat will just have to find his own way!’

’GYA GYA GYA, the Dragon Blood Pool!’

The Dragon Cat was overcome with excitement, but it suddenly remembered something and shouted, ”Oh, right, I forgot to tell you! From now on, your physical body can enter the Chaos Space too. And you can bring two other people in with you.”

The Dragon Cat’s voice rang in Ye Wushuang’s mind.

Ye Wushuang was happy to hear this, but he didn’t enter. Instead, he chose to confront the shadowy figures.

The strength of these figures increased along with his own, which would serve as excellent training for him.

Besides consolidating his Cultivation in the Spiritual Spring Realm, this time, he would focus on practicing the Seven Steps of the Reversed Dragon.

At this stage, the speed granted by Floating Light and Shadow was no longer enough. Only by cultivating the Seven Steps of the Reversed Dragon could he gain an advantage in speed.

’I wonder just how powerful the Seven Steps of the Reversed Dragon really is?’

Ye Wushuang knew he wouldn’t be able to match the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon and cross the world in seven steps, but he was filled with anticipation to see just how close he could get.
