Ling Tian Sword God

”Facing death and still stubborn!”

Tang Ze’s gaze grew even more sinister, ”Let’s see how you die!”

Just as he finished speaking, Ling Chen’s body started changing, thick veins protruding one by one, looking utterly terrifying.

Ling Chen felt a strong tearing sensation emanating from his abdomen, and in an instant, it spread through his entire network of meridians and flesh, as if a giant dragon was frantically rolling inside him, trying to burst his entire body apart.

But at this moment, from the Heavenly Mansion Ring, a streak of blood-colored energy suddenly flowed out, quickly spreading along Ling Chen’s arm into his body.

After the blood-colored energy entered Ling Chen’s body, the rampant Dragon Yuan Power within him surprisingly calmed down considerably when it encountered this energy.

Ling Chen could feel the source of this blood-colored energy, which undoubtedly was the Divine Dragon Jade that he’d been carrying with him all along.

Originally, even if Ling Chen had more courage, he would never dare to recklessly swallow the Dragon Origin Fruit whole, but it was the presence of the Divine Dragon Jade that gave him the courage for such a daring attempt!

The facts undoubtedly proved him right.

The Divine Dragon Jade indeed could suppress the medicinal power of the Dragon Origin Fruit. No matter how powerful this supposed Dragon Yuan Power was, it couldn’t resist the power of the Divine Dragon Jade!

The blood-colored energy dispersed, transforming into threads that permeated through, interweaving into a net, permeating into the Dragon Yuan Power.

Splash!

Like a flood, the Dragon Yuan Power fiercely crashed into the giant net, yet the net did not move an inch, binding the power tightly, preventing it from escaping and wreaking havoc.

”Calm down!”

The power of the Divine Dragon Jade continuously poured out from the Heavenly Mansion Ring, transforming into beams of light that cascaded down, swiftly washing away the violent molecules within the vast Dragon Yuan Power.

”Refine for me!”

Taking advantage of the Divine Dragon Jade swiftly cleansing the Dragon Yuan Power, Ling Chen suddenly pushed the Ling Tian Sword Scripture to its utmost limits, in his Dantian, forming a vortex of True Qi, starting to fully absorb the medicinal power of the Dragon Origin Fruit.

The vast red energy began to continuously pour into that vortex, and then, only after devouring all the violent energy, did it transform into a gushing energy, wildly circulating along the inner walls of Ling Chen’s Dantian.

With the suppression from the Divine Dragon Jade, and the unparalleled refining ability of the Ling Tian Sword Scripture, Ling Chen nearly perfectly restrained the vast energy of that Dragon Origin Fruit!

Of course, successfully suppressing it didn’t mean it could be perfectly absorbed, and right now, Ling Chen indeed didn’t have the time for this step. What he wanted wasn’t to enhance his strength using this Dragon Origin Fruit, but rather just a brief moment of explosive force.

During this explosive period, he could possess strength on par with Tang Ze!

However, that sudden burst of terrifying power could very easily exceed the limits of his body’s endurance, and once his flesh couldn’t handle the impact of that immense power, Ling Chen’s body would pop like a balloon and explode with a bang.

The overwhelming energy surged through Ling Chen’s limbs and bones like a flood, horrifying strength rapidly gathered within him, and Ling Chen could feel a piercing pain arising from his meridians. At this moment, he truly reached the limit of his body’s capacity.

Roar!

Ling Chen looked up and let out a roar that didn’t sound like a human voice, this howl resembled a dragon’s roar, and simultaneously, blood-colored Dragon Scales surfaced inch by inch across Ling Chen’s skin, transforming him into a half-man, half-dragon ferocious beast radiating a terrifying energy surge.

Grinding.

His palms slowly clenched, and feeling that unprecedented power within his body, a thrill rose across his face.

Despite the great peril of this venture, the ultimate result was a success, granting him an extremely strong yet fleeting power!

The blood-colored Dragon Scales that emerged on his body slowly faded away, restoring him to normal.

”Did he succeed?”

Sima Linyuan was momentarily astonished as if he had witnessed something astonishing.

The terrifying Spiritual Medicine, the Dragon Origin Fruit, must be taken with the aid of other drugs, or death is unavoidable; this is the general understanding of the Martial World, and throughout the Nine Provinces Land regarding the Dragon Origin Fruit.

Yet Ling Chen’s current actions undoubtedly broke this common understanding.

”This kid, you’re truly audacious. Luckily, you happened to have the Divine Dragon Jade on you; otherwise, this endeavor would have surely led to your destruction.”

At this moment, a voice suddenly echoed in Ling Chen’s mind; it was the Human Emperor’s voice.

”When there’s no other option, you can only hope for the best in a desperate attempt.”

Ling Chen said helplessly, ”Master, have you successfully refined the Soul Void Fruit?”

”Not so quickly; it still requires some time, so I can’t help you for now.”

The Human Emperor said indifferently.

”No matter, this time, I’ll handle it myself.”

A sharp light flickered in Ling Chen’s eyes. Now that he had acquired the power of the Dragon Origin Fruit, even if Tang Ze consumed a Bodhi Blood Pill and his strength surged, Ling Chen feared nothing.

”Everyone, are you ready?”

Ling Chen looked up, his eyes flashing with red light as he grinned at Tang Ze and his companions.

”This bastard...”

Murong Ying and the members of the Prince Party stared at Ling Chen, whose power abruptly increased manifold, with deeply sullen expressions. Beneath their gloom, disbelief filled their hearts. They truly couldn’t believe that Ling Chen managed to suppress the energy of a Dragon Origin Fruit.

Tang Ze’s gaze turned icy cold, and a trace of apprehension surged within his heart. The feats Ling Chen displayed today made him uneasy. If such a freak were allowed to grow, he would likely become a major threat in the future.

Ranked fifth on the Ten Thousand Years Green History Wall, the number one genius of the Southern Martial World. It was only now that Tang Ze recalled Ling Chen’s many accolades, which involuntarily made his heart pound.

”This kid cannot be allowed to remain!”

With this thought, a chill surged in Tang Ze’s heart. His eyes flashed as killing intent erupted, and then he moved, disappearing in a profoundly strange manner.

Ling Chen remained calm as ever, stepping through the void, his gaze constantly shifting. In an instant, he detected Tang Ze’s trail, his arm trembling, and the Red Sky Sword appeared in his hand, fiercely slashing forward.

Clang!

Tang Ze’s figure appeared suddenly, his Sunflower Hidden Weapon intercepted by the slash of Ling Chen’s Red Sky Sword, unleashing a dizzyingly sharp, ear-piercing sound.

The astonishing ripples of force spread through the air, those waves directly covering a hundred-meter radius, shattering nearby rocks into dust from the inside out, reducing them to fine powder.
