One more catty, one more attribute point-Chapter 638 - 502: The Whereabouts of the Domineering Dragon_2

Although the last words spoken by Liao Beast made sense,

even a centipede doesn't falter when dead, and a far less powerful Golden Crow could leave some tricks up its sleeve.

Not to mention a powerful and ancient existence like the Domineering Dragon, surely even if it truly fell, it would not just vanish into thin air without a word, it must have left some traces behind.

Fortunately, Su Heng is currently facing a bottleneck in his cultivation and doesn't mind spending the time, so he plans to wander around the Outer Sea, perhaps he might make some discoveries.

No sooner had Su Heng set off than a wave of Spiritual Power from Li Hongxiu reached his ears.

Su Heng's eyebrows rose slightly.

As the Spiritual Power of the two connected, the ethereal image of Li Hongxiu with her flowing long hair appeared before Su Heng.

She looked around; although the body of Liao Beast had been consumed entirely, the remnants of the battle were still quite evident in this part of the ocean.

A smile immediately appeared on Li Hongxiu's face as she congratulated, "Congratulations, my lord, on your successful display of Divine Skills and once again vanquishing a formidable foe." Although she was not aware of the specifics of Su Heng's abilities, having followed him for so long, she could vaguely guess that Su Heng seemed to possess an innate talent for rapidly converting food into his own Life Force.

As a Fierce Beast of Destructive Level, the Life Force of Liao Beast was incredibly formidable.

Now that it had vanished, it was clear that it had entered Su Heng's stomach. His strength could thus increase once more, and Li Hongxiu was genuinely happy for Su Heng from the bottom of her heart.

"In fact, Liao Beast wasn't at its peak condition at the moment, which is indeed a bit regrettable," Su Heng shook his head. Sealed for a thousand years, Liao Beast that had just escaped probably possessed less than half of its pinnacle strength. But Su Heng couldn't possibly let it rampage and slaughter at will within the Great Zhou Dynasty just for that bit of Life Energy. He wasn't concerned about the damage caused, just a bit regretful to have missed an opportunity to clash with a strong opponent.

Of course, the regret was merely fleeting.

Su Heng heard the cheerfulness in Li Hongxiu's voice, knowing she brought good news.

A smile appeared on his face as he spoke gently, "Is there specific news about the whereabouts of the Domineering Dragon?"

"Indeed, I have found the location where the Domineering Dragon cocooned itself, but its current state is quite strange, and you will need to see it for yourself to understand the specifics," she said.

"Lead the way."

...

...

...

Whoosh!

Su Heng gently tapped his foot in the air.

With a muffled sound, his body streaked across the sky like lightning, leaving behind a straight white trail of clouds.

Following Li Hongxiu's directions, Su Heng quickly crossed a distance of thousands of kilometers and arrived at his destination. It was a vast island covered with lush green vegetation, spanning millions of hectares of Primeval Forest.

The roots of ancient trees were covered with thick moss, and vine tendrils as stout as pythons crisscrossed through the air. Every now and then, huge flying birds would flap their wings, soaring into the sky, emitting piercing cries. As the distance between them rapidly closed, waves of Life Force so vibrant and unnatural came surging like dark green tides.

Rumble!

Su Heng's figure streaked over the verdant forest sea and landed on a protruding hillock.

The projection of Li Hongxiu's Spiritual Power appeared beside Su Heng, glancing around as if to confirm the surroundings.

After a moment,

she retracted her gaze and nodded with certainty, "It's right here."

"Good!" Su Heng's gaze sharpened, as he felt the mist that pervaded the area, obscuring the Spiritual Power of martial artists to some extent.

Even for him, being in such an environment, his view was somewhat affected. Looking down, he was unable to penetrate the overlapping rock walls underfoot and see the specific scenery inside. Such sights were not common for Su Heng, but he quickly grew excited; this suggested that the Domineering Dragon's foundation was even more profound than he had anticipated.

As a naturally born Divine Beast, it possessed the ability to alter the external natural environment.

The soil of this region had undergone some unknowable changes due to the continuous nourishment of the Domineering Dragon's Life Force, its structure altered, forming some type of metal, unnamed yet incredibly hard. Its hardness even surpassed the Active Metal Su Heng had previously mined and smelted. Su Heng's expression grew solemn, but to him as he was now, it was not much of an issue.

"Ssst!"

He took a slight breath, his chest expanding.

The black cloak on his body fluttered wildly before he thrust a Swinging Punch towards the ground.

Fissures twisted and spread in all directions, beams of light shooting out like swords, with countless small pebbles flying outward. As the strata were repeatedly compressed, a thunderous noise continued to roar. Inside seemed to be a vast cavity, echoing continuously. The strata that lost support began to collapse, but with a sweep of Su Heng's spiritual power, these rocks gleaming with amber luster levitated into the air.

With one strike.

The entire hill was leveled by Su Heng.

Below was a huge cavity, the stone walls inlaid with sparkling crystals.

It was bottomless inside, but a cold draft mixed with dust surged out, and from within, a distant dragon chant could be faintly heard.

The ancient majesty seemed to transform into translucent ripples, sweeping across the Primeval Forest. The centuries of dead silence enveloping this place was broken, Su Heng heard the roars of all kinds of beasts, countless birds flapping their wings, soaring into the sky. They were not startled, nor were they leaving, instead, they circled in the sky, forming a giant, colorful ring.

"How spectacular!" Li Hongxiu looked up, her eyes filled with amazement, "These birds and beasts, it's as if they are subjects waiting for the return of their king."

On those flying birds, some had shown distinct draconic mutations, their wings covered in overlapping scales, bodies huge, and the gusts from their flapping wings caused vast swaths of forest to sway. Thousands of treetops swayed back and forth, the tide-like leaves rubbing against each other, sounds overlapping like waves echoing around, completely enveloping the two of them.

"It's truly remarkable," Su Heng also nodded lightly.

He perceived that some of the creatures had auras comparable to that of a Demon God.

Back in the day, the Golden Crow was ambushed and killed by a Demon God from the Heavens, despite the fact that it was weakened from just having given birth. Yet the gap between Divine Beasts was much larger than Su Heng had imagined.

These creatures did not show any hostility towards Su Heng and Li Hongxiu, only quietly waiting from afar.

Su Heng did not want to destroy such a hard-to-find environment.

This situation was just fine.

Su Heng withdrew his gaze and said to Li Hongxiu, "We shouldn't delay, let's go in and have a look first."

"Okay!"

Li Hongxiu nodded in agreement too.

The pinnacle of the Divine Beasts, the answer to life.

Li Hongxiu was also very much looking forward to what kind of existence it would turn out to be.

Swish!

Su Heng took the lead, leaping forward.

After entering the cavity, he immediately felt surrounded by a cold air.

This cold air seemed to cause damage to both the Martial Artist's body and spirit, and with the environment inside complex and perceptions obscured, finding the right path was not easy. However, Su Heng had many means at his disposal, and this small difficulty could not stop him. As the Second Heart pumped faster, part of the Sun Furnace's might awakened, and Su Heng turned into a human-shaped sun, illuminating everywhere he went.

Then his spiritual power burst forth further, linked to the Heavens through the Demon Engine.

Some Low Rank demons were summoned by Su Heng, exploring in different directions like ants inside a nest.

Just like that.

In less than half an hour's time.

Su Heng's gaze sharpened, quickly finding the whereabouts of the Domineering Dragon in this vast cave.

Boom!

He pressed his hand against the wall in front of him.

As circles of scorching white light spread from his palm.

The obstructing rock walls melted and collapsed one after another, forming a wide pathway extending inward.

And at the end of this pathway was a huge white cocoon, wrapped in white silk, its heart-like center pulsating slowly. Although it had been asleep for thousands of years, as the obstructing rocks split open one by one, Su Heng could still feel a vigorous Life Force radiating from within. A fierce wind arose in the depths of the cave, sand and rocks flew along the way, whizzing past Su Heng, with the sound of howling and vastness ringing in his ears.
