Martial Ascent to Divinity-Chapter 543 - 526: Undefeated

"You know?"

"Of course I know. Many giant dragons have tried to learn from the Dragon Blood Guard, but they’ve all failed. That is the power of the Dragon God. How could it be so easy to learn? Are you truly a descendant of the Dragon Race?"

"Hmm?" Zhou Leng didn’t answer directly.

Deep Dark Fury sighed, "No wonder you entered from the Dragon World..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Leng thought it was another coincidence and he’d been misunderstood again.

The Demon Dragon slowly landed and said, "Divine Name."

Zhou Leng stayed motionless, as if he actually understood what he was talking about.

Deep Dark Fury said, "Actually, the giants all don’t know. The cause of the Great Battlefield is the Dragon God’s Marked Path."

"First, there was the Dragon God’s Marked Path. Then, the giant dragon spirits and giant spirits fought over this place, leading to endless godly wars."

"In the end, when the godly wars ended, other areas were already ruined, except the area connected to the Dragon God’s Marked Path, forming the Great Battlefield."

"The Dragon God’s Marked Path actually hides a true trial known only to the Demon and Giant Dragons, which is to pursue the Divine Name of the Dragon God who left marks here. This has been the wish of our two races for tens of thousands of years."

"Once we obtain the Dragon God’s Divine Name, our Dragon Race can hold a grand ceremony, receive the Dragon God’s protection, and elevate the entire race’s life force unimaginably."

Zhou Leng remained expressionless, but inwardly thought that the Crimson Queen and Jade Wings had indeed been holding something back.

Such important information, yet it was never mentioned.

If it weren’t for Deep Dark Fury misunderstanding his identity, he might never have known.

However, the Divine Name and grand ceremony seem to be the key points.

Deep Dark Fury sighed again, "Trade is possible. I can even exchange my 107 heads, but you must share your understanding of the Dragon God’s combat techniques."

Zhou Leng said, "What I have comprehended are all martial arts techniques."

"As long as there’s a chance to comprehend, it’s enough. Now, none of us can find the way. Also, you might be at a loss. I will lend you the ’See God Stone,’ so when you first enter the ’Hundred Guard Blood Mist,’ you’ll have great benefits."

"Hundred Guard Blood Mist? Never heard of it."

"Of course, only we descendants of the Star Dragon know. Even among the Giant Dragon Race, probably not many know. Even if they do know, they’re unable to do it. Only by killing over a hundred Dragon Blood Guards yourself can you activate the true Hundred Guard Blood Mist."

Deep Dark Fury flicked his claw, and a large stone two meters high flew out.

Zhou Leng took it and looked, noticing a slightly white stone with a somewhat smooth surface. The center of the stone had an indentation with octagonal markings that seemed familiar.

"Don’t underestimate this stone. It’s probably a treasure soaked in divine power for many years. By simply keeping this stone close, you can more easily sense the power of the divine."

"Thank you."

Zhou Leng felt that the markings on it looked familiar after thinking for a while, suddenly realizing.

Previously, the Treasure-Sending Child Jax had given him a mysterious octagonal bone fragment, which had similar markings.

"Are you selling this?" Zhou Leng asked.

Deep Dark Fury frowned and said, "This thing has very limited use, so it could be sold, but it’s not necessary. However... it wouldn’t be a loss if I could trade it for the Dragon God’s combat techniques. If you truly want it, you must ensure that I comprehend the Dragon God’s combat techniques, as you can’t possibly comprehend all at once."

Zhou Leng said, "How about this, I want the Divine Stone. After that, I’ll stay here to teach you the Dragon God’s combat techniques. Once we leave the Great Battlefield, we’ll find a way to contact each other, and I’ll do my best to ensure you comprehend the Dragon God’s combat techniques. Even if comprehension fails, I’ll make a video of all my insights into the Dragon God’s combat techniques and send it to you, which is equivalent to a form of inheritance, not inferior to a mere stone."

Deep Dark Fury pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, you can use the See God Stone first. If your understanding of the Dragon God’s combat techniques proves strong enough, we’ll trade. If it’s not strong enough, I can only abandon the trade as this thing is, after all, a treasure of our Spine-headed Demon Dragon race and not my personal belonging."

"Alright."

Zhou Leng felt regretful in his heart, but given the high value of such an item, Deep Dark Fury, no matter how naive, wouldn’t trade it casually.

One person and one dragon started chatting, and before long, Dragon Blood Guards began emerging from afar one by one.

Two groups of densely packed Dragon Blood Guards approached, heading respectively towards the person and the dragon.

Deep Dark Fury said, "Exchange all of them. I’ll cast the spell to mark them."

"Alright!"

Deep Dark Fury let out a low roar, using a spell in Dragon Language, causing a red sphere of light to appear above each of his Dragon Blood Guards, forming a spell mark.

Deep Dark Fury flew up high, then swooped down, attacking Dragon Blood Guards without the spell marks.

Zhou Leng, on the other hand, only killed those Dragon Blood Guards with spell marks.

There were too many, so Zhou Leng cleverly distanced himself with stepping techniques and took them down one by one.

Finally, he finished off all 107 Dragon Blood Guards.

separate swirls of Dragon Blood Mist condensed into a massive blood mist with a diameter of over thirty meters.

"Hurry in!" Deep Dark Fury urged.

Zhou Leng retrieved his backpack, slung it over his chest, unzipped it, placed the See God Stone inside, and rushed into the Hundred Guard Dragon God’s Blood Mist.

At the moment of entry, he took out the octagonal bone fragment and embedded it into the octagonal impression on the See God Stone.

A crisp cracking sound was heard.

A perfect fit.

Buzz...

An extremely strange and complex dragon roar sounded, reverberating through the sky, echoing across the stars.

The dragon roar wasn’t just one sound; it was like the collective roar of billions of giant dragons, ultimately converging into an indistinct, peculiar dragon roar.

The blood mist in his eyes condensed into crystal-clear blood-colored crystal shards, like contact lenses, embedded in his eyes.

Through the new crystal lenses, the world before him suddenly transformed.

It was no longer a desolate bloody land, but a thriving grassland.

Suddenly, a series of massive rumbling noises erupted.

Boom boom boom...

It was as if mountains collapsed and the earth trembled.

Zhou Leng, standing in the blood mist, looked towards the sound.

He saw a vague colossal entity appear in view.

The size of that giant entity was hard to estimate precisely, but it was at least a hundred kilometers in size.

Everything else in the world was clear, except this gigantic body, shrouded in mysterious bloody mist, obscuring a clear view.

But even just seeing its rough outline, one could feel an unimaginably grand power, like a tsunami, rushing forth.

It was a kind of pressure on the soul, life, bloodline, and at the fundamental level of genes.

In previous trials, I also encountered the aura of Divine Spirits, but those auras were just remnants, or even just imitations.

This time, the aura felt is not the power of the Divine Spirit itself, but it seems to be a gathering of a large amount of residual power.

The appearance of this giant creature is not the image of a Western dragon, but resembles an Eastern dragon.

The body is extremely long, like a winding mountain range, veiled by a blurry power, seemingly shining with golden light.

The head is raised high, limbs swirling with divine clouds, faintly, two dragon whiskers can be seen soaring high.

The Dragon God’s tail is severed.

Behind him, a massive circular shadow swirls, but it’s obscured by a blood mist.

Zhou Leng recalls the trial of the final place, it should be some sort of celestial circle of stars.

Due to an unknown reason, the Dragon God lost the power of flight, and he gallops across the ground like a mountain range over a hundred kilometers long.

Occasionally, dragon blood drips down, sinking into the earth.

A powerful force rapidly spreads, the grassland withering, turning from green to red.

With each step he takes, he leaves massive claw prints on the ground.

It turns out, the Dragon God’s trail is real.

Zhou Leng stared fixedly at the Dragon God, memorizing every detail.

This heavily injured Dragon God, clearly on the brink of despair, yet from beginning to end, there is no trace of decay, weakness, or desperation. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He still exudes an awe-inspiring aura, dominating the world as before.

Even as he runs on the ground, his movements seem so free and easy.

"So what if a hundred gods ambush me!"

"So what if the gods return to the void!"

"The ancestral path remains unbroken!"

"In this life, I fought alone without defeat!"

The Dragon God did not speak, but his mighty will shook the heavens and earth, forming divine text sounds.

Within this divine text, resides the terrifying, true will of the Dragon God, impacting the Martial Arts Will.

In just an instant, this power, echoing in time and space for who knows how many years, utterly shocked Zhou Leng.

In the next moment, his entire consciousness will be erased by the Dragon God’s power, turning him into a complete zombie.

In the final moment, Zhou Leng suddenly felt an endless regret.

He underestimated the Divine Spirits.

Always coveted the power of the Divine Spirits, but did not expect that this Dragon God was not an ordinary Divine Spirit at all.

Even if he might have fallen long ago, even if this is merely the remaining power in the world, it is enough to effortlessly annihilate anyone below the God Realm.

Even the Black Gold Silkworm Fruit protecting him, or the life-saving secret method of the Ice Snow Divine Sect, did not respond at all.

The Dragon God’s power far exceeds the protective range of these powers.

Suddenly, the Octagonal Bone Fragment burned, turned into a pale blue flame, entered the Will Space, and protected the Mountain of Will.

The threat of death dissipated.

Zhou Leng let out a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, divine light descended from the sky.

More than a dozen gigantic shadows, more brilliant than the sun ten thousandfold, flew in from afar.

There seems to be some peculiar power here, preventing them from flying at high speeds and teleporting.

But after a moment, the divine light vanished, and the world turned pitch black.

Nothing could be seen in front of him.

Zhou Leng realized that it might not be turning black outside, but filled with the power of Divine Spirits, his own level was not enough, unable to see through, and even unable to see it at all.

Even the nature of the outer space has completely changed, his eyes and power unable to discern this power.

Suddenly, a dragon’s roar, piercing and sharp, resounded through the clouds and stones.

A continually thickening pillar of golden light shot skyward, one white impact ring after another spreading, circling the golden pillar, tearing the pitch-black void.

In an instant, the golden pillar extended across the entire sky, enveloping all the giant shadows.

The source of the golden pillar was the Dragon God with an open mouth.

"When a god falls."

The Dragon God did not speak, but the rules of the world were changed by the Dragon God.

Suddenly, the Dragon God transformed into an infinitely splendid silver-white divine light, abruptly expanding tenfold.

Boom!

The Dragon God, like a dragon-shaped light arrow, shot upward, piercing the high heavens in an instant.

The sky was split in two by the enormous light arrow.

One arrow penetrates the sky, one dragon opens the heavens.

Along the edges of the silver-white divine light, one after another colossal shadow fell.

Subsequently, Zhou Leng witnessed an indescribable magnificent scene.

Each giant shadow, upon falling into the air, was like a sun exploding, rapidly collapsing inward, within the pitch-black shadow, split divine light brewing and gathering.

Boom...

The condensed to the extreme giant shadow exploded, spewing world-destroying divine light, obliterating everything in their path.

More than a dozen giant shadows, brighter than the sun, collapsed in the sky one after another, exploding.

"The undefeated Dragon God..."

A distant voice echoed.

The scene abruptly ended.
