Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 817: Chapter 817: Hitting the 9th Meridian

At this moment, the eight major meridians within Ye Luo’s body were all flickering with golden light, and his flesh had become extremely tough after the refinement of Dragon Qi.

Crackling sounds emanated from his muscles as his meridians expanded several times over; his tendons and bones became tens of times harder than before, and every cell in his body grew more active. The golden blood within him was rapidly increasing as well.

And still it had not ended, the Dragon Ball continued to release pure Dragon Qi into Ye Luo’s body.

Seeing this, Ye Luo did not hesitate and continued to circulate the Nine Yang Mystic Art, absorbing and refining the Dragon Qi, hoping to take advantage of this moment to break through the ninth major meridian and become a true Saint Realm warrior.

”This guy is just at the Innate Peak Stage, yet he can unleash such a terrifying aura, could he be...”

A Spirit Sea Realm level nine powerhouse standing beside the Goddess stared at Ye Luo, his pupils shimmering with a speculative gleam.

”Nine Yang Physique! He has the Nine Yang Physique!”

Another Spirit Sea Realm level nine powerhouse beside the Goddess suddenly shouted, fixing his gaze intently on Ye Luo.

With the words ”Nine Yang Physique” spoken, everyone from the Long and Ji families, except for the War God, underwent a drastic change in expression and looked at Ye Luo in surprise.

”This kid actually has the Nine Yang Physique, no wonder...”

An elder from the Long Family at the Saint Realm level nine couldn’t help but speak, his eyes flickering with an unusual light as he watched Ye Luo.

The Goddess also watched Ye Luo with eyes that were equally radiant and sparkling.

”What should we do now?”

Ji Haotian’s gaze turned to the masters from both the Long and Ji families.

”Regardless, we need to deal with these four first!”

The second uncle of Long Zhantian said directly.

”Exactly!” the War God also spoke up in agreement, and at once their gazes returned to focus on the Goddess and her three companions.

”Goddess, now that this boy has consumed the Dragon Ball, we should leave this place first.”

Three Spirit Sea Realm level nine elders looked at the Goddess and spoke.

”Let’s go!” The Goddess gave Ye Luo a profound glance and turned to leave.

”You think to leave just like that?”

The second uncle of Long Zhantian stared at the four and coldly shouted.

”Reveal your identities!”

The War God’s eyes likewise fixed on the four as he coldly demanded.

”You all aren’t worthy of knowing my identity!”

One elder beside the Goddess looked at the War God and Long Zhantian’s second uncle with a glance of disdain.

”If that’s the case, then all of you can stay right here.” The War God took a step forward, his fists clenched, his body surging with a terrifying aura as he watched the Goddess and her companions with eyes that were like torches.

”Just with you all?” The three elders showed faces of disdain.

”Haotian, activate the Xuanyuan Divine Sword!”

At that moment, a Spirit Sea Realm level eight powerhouse from the Ji Family looked towards Ji Haotian, whose face was pale and said weakly, ”It won’t work. With my strength, I can no longer activate the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.”

”Even without the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, all three of you are injured now, and we are more than capable of taking you down!”

The War God barked a cold command, his body radiating a formidable Battle Will.

”Is that so?”

The three of them sneered in unison, each drawing an elixir from their bodies and swallowing it. As the medicinal power of the elixirs dissolved, the injuries they had sustained from the Divine Sword of Xuanyuan were all miraculously healed, and their presence felt even stronger than before.

”Xuan Rank Elixirs!”

Staring at the three men, Long Zhantian’s Second Uncle, Long Yun, wore an exceedingly grave expression on his face.

”Do you still wish to make a move now?” the three elders snorted coldly once more.

This time, neither Long Zhantian nor his Second Uncle Long Yun said anything further. With merely two Spirit Sea Realm Ninth Layer powerhouses on their side, facing three opponents of equal strength, coupled with the mysterious and powerful entity known as the Goddess, it was impossible for them to detain the others.

”Let’s go!”

With that, the four of them quickly left the area.

”Second Uncle, what should we do now?”

Long Zhantian looked at Long Yun and asked. He had taken some elixirs and was now able to stand, but his soul had been severely injured, and his face was still pale as death. His aura was extremely weak, and he had only retained the strength of the Spirit Sea Realm First Layer.

”Zhantian, your injuries are grave. Return to the family immediately and treat your wounds with elixirs, otherwise, you’ll suffer lasting damage, and it’ll be very difficult to recover your strength,” Long Yun said gravely, looking at Long Zhantian.

”Then...” Long Yun’s eyes shifted to Ye Luo, seated atop the Dragon Head.

”Since the Dragon Ball has entered his body, all this must be the will of heaven, and we cannot force the issue. Only, we do not know whether this man is good or evil. If he is of an evil sort, we must destroy him and ensure he does not use the Dragon Ball to harm the world.”

Long Yun watched Ye Luo intently as he spoke with a heavy voice.

”Elder Long Yun can rest assured on this matter. His name is Ye Luo, and he’s a friend of mine. He’s also from the national security agency, with the rank of Lieutenant General. He’s performed great services for the country, definitely not some evil being,” assured the War God, looking at Long Yun hurriedly.

”I see. Then having the Dragon Ball in his hands may not be a bad thing after all. In this tumultuous era, the emergence of another Nine Yang Physique, especially one loyal and patriotic, is indeed excellent news for our Huaxia,” Long Yun spoke softly.

”This young man, being a Nine Yang Physique and now assisted by the Dragon Ball, his potential is surely immeasurable. I fear he might even surpass Sheng Tianyang from a century ago.”

One of the Ji Family’s Spirit Sea Realm Eighth Layer experts spoke.

”Back then, Sheng Tianyang dominated the Hidden Sects, oppressed many powers, and eventually declined after reaching his zenith, causing many factions to join hands against him, leading to his unfortunate demise. One hopes this young man won’t follow in the footsteps of Sheng Tianyang!” said Long Yun, voicing his concern.

”He won’t. With him around, this youngster won’t encounter any trouble.”

The War God’s eyes narrowed slightly, a confident smile appearing on his lips as he envisioned the figure of an immensely powerful elder, almost godlike, in his mind. He knew with such a figure on their side, even if the top forces from several sublime factions attacked together, Ye Luo would not come to harm.

”If that’s the case, let’s leave this place first. We still have the Evil Sect’s people and their three mighty evil soldiers to deal with,” Long Yun spoke up.

”Third Elder, what should we do with the Divine Sword?”

Ji Haotian’s gaze shifted toward the Ji Family Spirit Sea Realm Eighth Layer expert. The latter glanced at the Divine Sword in the void and said, ”Since the Divine Sword has appeared, it should be brought back to the Ji Family.

”Okay.”

Ji Haotian nodded, his eyes fixed on the Divine Sword. He waved his hands again, sending several seals toward it. Instantly, the Divine Sword turned into a golden comet heading toward Ji Haotian.

With a face full of reverence, Ji Haotian reached out his hands to catch the Divine Sword. The glow dissipated, and the overwhelming sword presence faded away.
