Martial Ascent to Divinity-Chapter 672 - 651: Luminous Vessels

Within the gaze of the Dragon God, the blood of all beings possessing Giant Dragon Power surged.

Beneath the dragon scales of those Giant Dragons, raised lines appeared, resembling long serpents.

The effect was even more pronounced in some humans present.

Their entire bodies swelled with large blood vessels, crawling like tree roots across their skin.

Their skin stretched thin and transparent, making the golden flames within their visible blood vessels apparent. The blood boiled and bubbled as it flowed rapidly.

The intense pain stimulated everyone. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Whether Giant Dragon, human, or Divine Spirit of the dead, all gained unprecedented power under the Dragon God’s gaze.

Zhou Leng sat before the Dragon God mural, with no raised blood vessels visible on his body.

Through his skin, a faint golden flame could be seen, but it was far less obvious than in others.

Such immense Power was securely confined by his blood vessels, unable to expand outward.

The stellar true energy within him accelerated, filling his entire body and protecting his blood vessels.

The Dragon God’s phantom eyes were emotionless and thoughtless, gazing quietly.

After three minutes, he gently moved his head, surveying the entire scene.

Finally, he lowered his head, his gaze falling upon Zhou Leng.

At this moment, the intense gaze of the Dragon God disappeared from the others.

The Dragon God hovered high, focusing on one person.

Boom...

In an instant, his entire body was enveloped in golden flames.

The Great Sun Divine Skill ran wildly, as if a star, creating a terrifying pull.

The golden flames, drawn by the power of the Great Sun Divine Skill, surged around the true energy singularity.

At first, golden streaks of light circled, slowly gathering into a spherical shape.

Eventually, it transformed into two Divine Power planets, orbiting the core of the Great Sun Divine Skill, akin to the Divine Power of the Giant.

In the sky, the Dragon God phantom nodded slightly, extending a claw, with one finger aimed at Zhou Leng, gently pointing.

Bang!

The Dragon God phantom exploded into countless black lines.

The black lines split into two, one part flew back to the mountain wall, reforming into the black Dragon God mural.

The rest descended upon Zhou Leng’s head, weaving into a black-gold gemstone crown.

In the center of the crown lay a Giant Dragon with a black belly and silver back.

The Dragon God’s gaze ended.

The dragons looked at the crown upon Zhou Leng’s head, lowering their heads, calling him the "True King of the Giant Dragons."

The Divine Spirit of the Dead among the Giant Dragons, aside from the stupefied Winter of Death, all bowed and chanted loudly.

Alien Dragons and Ten Realms Dragons also praised the True King, minds in turmoil.

With this True King, how would the True King of True King Mountain contest it?

Could there exist dual True Kings within the Dragon Race?

Zhou Leng calmly absorbed the Power.

He did not lose consciousness this time, as the Great Sun Divine Skill had experience, gathering Power into Divine Power planets in advance.

Before long, Zhou Leng opened his eyes.

The Giant Dragon Blood Marvelous Body reached its peak.

The previous ancient call had brought the Giant Body to its peak, granting unimaginable enhancement.

His body, like steel jade, had every cell radiating immense Power.

This time, the Giant Dragon Blood Marvelous Body targeted the blood specifically.

Previously liquid, now a tenth transformed from liquid to a state of light.

Resembling starlight.

Zhou Leng couldn’t describe it with the language of Blue Star, as this blood held a Power only stellar lifeforms in their infancy possessed.

Only this blood could accommodate stellar true energy.

Otherwise, the stellar true energy could only reside in the true energy singularity.

This blood resembled the exotic Power formed at the birth of a star.

The Divine Text held the scientific name for this blood, translatable into sixteen characters in the language of the Dragon Country.

Original star’s new birth, light flows luminously, first bloom’s cry, radiance eternal shine.

"If I were to simplify it, it could probably be called Stellar Light Vein."

Zhou Leng clearly sensed that the Stellar Light Vein was slowly absorbing stellar true energy scattered in the world, gradually transforming the other blood.

Once all the blood transformed into the Stellar Light Vein, Power would permeate his entire body, and his life’s level would advance significantly once more.

The realm following the Stellar Light Vein, Zhou Leng had seen in fragments of the Divine Text.

It could be translated as "Galactic Body," straightforward in meaning as stars flowing within the Divine Spirit’s body.

Each blood cell, a star.

Zhou Leng never imagined the stellar Power recorded in the Divine Text would manifest within him.

His right fist clenched slightly and released.

The turbulent Power surged.

The complete Stellar Light Vein, aside from absorbing stellar true energy, could also absorb faint Star Power, infusing all attacks.

Even with only part of the Stellar Light Vein newly coalesced, his body inexplicably gained an unimaginable Power.

This Power seemed to possess extraordinary traits.

Turning his back to the dragons, Zhou Leng took out a piece of dense star core, the size of a fist.

Though no specific weight was given, by experience, it certainly exceeded 1000 tons.

Zhou Leng did not exert much power, just relied on his body’s instinct, lightly swaying up and down, feeling the weight.

This feeling was like an adult lifting a ten-pound dumbbell.

Then, he activated the power throughout his body, excluding the true celestial energy, but including the force of the Starlight Meridian.

He swayed up and down again, feeling the weight.

Light as an empty bowl.

Indeed, the Starlight Meridian has its peculiar properties.

Putting away the dense star core, Zhou Leng turned and walked outside.

Seeing him, everyone bowed to greet him.

Winter of Death asked softly, "Mom, do you think he will still serve as our head guard?"

"You aren’t even fit to be his head guard. I told you to focus on your cultivation, but you wouldn’t listen and kept dabbling in dubious practices. You’re hopeless!" Winter of Frost’s face lost its maternal smile, spread her wings, and pushed Winter of Death out.

Winter of Death rolled over, glared at Half Horn of Death, and said, "Dad."

"I don’t have a son like you." Half Horn of Death lifted and then withdrew his dragon claw.

Winter of Death whispered, "I am still qualified to be his head guard."

Zhou Leng returned to the Ten Realms Giant Dragon’s location, and Hell Magic Eye couldn’t help but ask, "How strong are you now?"

"Not quite sure, but after leaving True King Land, I can immediately be promoted to Grandmaster."

"Come, let’s wrestle."

The giant black dragon extended its claws toward Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng supported its dragon claw and lifted it up.

The Son of Demi-God, black dragon Upper-Rank Grandmaster, weighing over a thousand tons, spanning over twenty meters in length, and towering over ten meters, was lifted off the ground.

With one hand, he hoisted the giant dragon.

A thousand tons of weight and a thousand tons of Upper-Rank Grandmaster are not the same concept.

Hell Magic Eye’s gaze was flustered, its other claw hung mid-air not knowing where to place it, glancing left and right, eyes resembling a featherless rooster.

Sweat formed on the foreheads of several human Grandmasters.

The dignified Upper-Rank Grandmaster black dragon was being toyed with like a pet hawk by Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng gently tossed it down, and Hell Magic Eye’s dragon claw landed on the ground.

(The leaders of the alien giant dragons came over, first offering congratulations, then enshrining Zhou Leng as "Chill of Death," and finally inviting him to visit their Death Star as a guest.)

Zhou Leng declined kindly, and they dared not say anything, so they returned.

Feeling his body needed rest, Zhou Leng again entered a tent, meditating and cultivating, absorbing power.

Major forces didn’t leave either, slowly digesting new powers.

Soon after, other Ten Realms giant dragons and alien giant dragons arrived one after another.

Dragon God’s gaze spread grandly across the entire planet; they arrived and beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretfully missing the opportunity.

The newly arrived alien giant dragons had other thoughts.

They secretly discussed, walked to the Ten Realms giant dragons camp, and demanded the Ten Realms giant dragons leave Chill of Death, requesting Chill of Death go to Death Star and assume the position of Dragon King.

The Ten Realms giant dragons naturally couldn’t agree, and both sides confronted each other.

Winter of Death always paid attention to the situation, softly asking, "Mom, can I beat those alien giant dragons?"

His mom sneered, "You’re a Demigod, they are just Upper-Rank Grandmasters. If you can’t beat them, you might as well return to the dragon egg and hatch again."

"Since I can beat them..."

Winter of Death’s eyes turned, like a sneaky thief, he stealthily approached the confrontation place, then suddenly accelerated.

Hell Magic Eye and Gleaming Gold King led the dragons to stand in front of Zhou Leng’s tent, blocking the alien giant dragons.

These alien giant dragons had just arrived; none of those who received the Dragon God’s gaze were present, only watching from afar.

The leading alien giant dragon said, "He is Chill of Death, is of the bloodline of Death Dragon Race, must return to Death Star, otherwise..."

A dark shadow appeared behind him, ramming a huge dragon head down, biting off the alien giant dragon’s upper body, leaving only two dragon legs on the ground.

Above the dragon legs, Winter of Death chewed with crunches, and a few drops of blood dripped down through the gaps between his teeth.

Lowering his head once more, he stretched out his giant tongue to lick away the remaining dragon legs.

Throat rolling, swallowing dragon meat, he looked down with a smile at both sides.

"What happened?"

The alien giant dragons, looking at this enormous Demigod giant dragon spirit, silently retreated.

"Nothing, nothing..." The alien giant dragons shook their heads.

"Good, as long as it’s nothing."

Winter of Death stood up and walked back, his huge tail sweeping back and forth on the ground, pressing all the dust to the ground, keeping it settled.

Not long after, a refreshed Zhou Leng emerged from the tent and chatted with the dragons.

Hell Magic Eye and Gleaming Gold King and other dragons planned to stay here, continue using dragon power to temper themselves, and when True King Mountain opened, they planned to head to True King Mountain.

Zhou Leng had completed his tempering, wanting to find other treasures or trial places.

First, he went to alien giant dragons, acquired some maps as a giant dragon True King, with marked special places on them.

Then, he found the giant dragon spirit and also acquired some maps.

Thus, consolidating various forces, Zhou Leng held the most comprehensive map.

He chose a few not-so-dangerous places, prepared a standard, and went alone.

Winter of Death watched Zhou Leng’s figure grow distant, saying, "Dad, Mom, my Divine Text teacher has left."

"Stop thinking about your Divine Text teacher, focus on cultivation, strive to leave this damned place," said Winter of Frost.

"No, I have to find a way for him to teach me Divine Text, learning Divine Text is the only way to leave this damned place." Winter of Death stealthily flew into the high sky, relying on Demigod spirit to see through further mist, following Zhou Leng from afar.

Zhou Leng arrived at the Divine Vessel Long River, along the river running all the way.

A tributary lay ahead on the Divine Vessel Long River, which encircled a Dragon Bone Mountain.

Legend has it, during the fight between Death Star and Far-reaching Mountain, a dragon bone shattered, falling into this mountain.

Even after many years, Dragon Bone Mountain still embodies a strong force, dragon spirits dare not go, and alien arrivals lack the strength.
