Dragon God Supreme

Chapter 78: Chapter 078: Great Increase in Cultivation
 

“Whoosh!”

A leap thirty feet high, a wildly ferocious golden sword light plunged down, its momentum to cleave everything asunder, terrifying to behold.

Watching the diving golden sword light, Lin Yunchong had already been scared pale, trembling all over in terror.

“Earth… Earth-Rank Sword Technique!” Lin Yunchong said with a trembling voice, his eyes filled with a sliver of despair.

After a fierce battle, Feng Wuchen’s strength far exceeded Lin Yunchong’s imagination, completely overwhelmed by Feng Wuchen’s dominating power.

Already hard to deal with, now facing an Earth-Rank Sword Technique, it was no wonder Lin Yunchong felt despair.

“Boom!”

“Pft!”

In an instant, the sword light collided with the energy seal, causing a deafening explosion that echoed through the woods. Only Lin Yunchong’s energy seal exploded, and he was shaken so severely that he spewed fresh blood, his face turning ashen with worsening injuries.

At the moment of collision, Feng Wuchen’s tyrannical sword light split the energy seal in two, causing an energy explosion, while the sword light still charged at Lin Yunchong with terrifying speed and overwhelming momentum!

“No! No!!” Lin Yunchong, in his terror and despair, was so frightened that his soul scattered, his body unable to move, standing rooted to the spot crying out in fear.

“Rumble!”

Unfortunately, no matter how Lin Yunchong screamed, the sword light would not disappear. In the blink of an eye, it struck him, the explosion reverberating through the forest once again, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

The horrific energy ripples spread in all directions, accompanied by a raging wind, and the trees within a fifty-meter radius were all devoured, turning to ash at a visible speed.

This vicious battle was extremely perilous and the destructive power was astounding.

In the moment of the explosion, Lin Yunchong’s presence had completely vanished, signifying Feng Wuchen’s strike had killed him!

When the energy ripples finally dissipated and the space cleared, it was then seen that the position where Lin Yunchong had stood now bore a crater several meters wide.

Inside the crater, Lin Yunchong lay dismembered and his flesh blurred, showing no sign of life!

A gruesome death! More horrific than his brother, Lin Yuntian’s!

“The power of the Ninth Level of the Transformative Realm wielding the second form of the sword technique is so terrifying, yet it’s still too forced.” Feng Wuchen muttered to himself. Using the second form of the sword technique greatly depleted his True Yuan, making Feng Wuchen’s face just as pale, devoid of any color.

“Sigh!”

Exhaling deeply, Feng Wuchen finally relaxed, and just as the efficacy of the elixir dissipated, his vision darkened, and he fainted.

“Big Brother Feng!” Miao Qingqing’s pretty face changed drastically as she rushed over in panic.

Miao Qingqing, extremely worried, quickly moved Feng Wuchen to a small valley, giving him a common Healing Pill to swallow.

In his unconscious state, Feng Wuchen’s mind floated with some mysterious and eerie images.

In those images, an old man with the bearing of a celestial being, held an exquisite long sword hovering above the sea, his gaze fixed on the void, uncertain whether he was facing an enemy or not.

The space was peaceful, devoid of any murderous intent.

Feng Wuchen had never seen the old man before, and what happened next shocked him!

Seemingly motionless, the old man had illusory figures all around him performing sword techniques, each move containing profound and profound essences. The movements were transcendent, returning to one’s original simplicity.

Illusory figures danced their sword moves in complete calmness, the air untroubled by their actions.

Who was this old man? Feng Wuchen had not seen him before, and even the memory of the Evil Dragon did not recall this elder!

But why did he appear in Feng Wuchen’s mind? Feng Wuchen didn’t know.

And what sword technique was the elder performing? Feng Wuchen knew even less.

But what Feng Wuchen was certain of was that the sword technique the elder practiced was far stronger than his own Phantom Sword Technique.

Even with the Evil Dragon’s memories and experience, he could not discern the technique, unable to glean the slightest insight from the elder’s dances.

If even the Evil Dragon could not figure it out, who else could know?

The mysterious moves and patterns of the sword technique, like clouds flowing through the sky, sword Qi vast, and the Sword Intent gave off a feeling of challenging the heavens.

After an unknown period, the unconscious Feng Wuchen slowly opened his eyes.

“Big Brother Feng! You’re awake? That’s great!” Miao Qingqing exclaimed ecstatically upon seeing Feng Wuchen open his eyes.

“Ouch!” Feng Wuchen, just having come to, felt excruciating pain throughout his body, flinching even at the slightest movement.

This was the aftereffect of the Soul-Breaking Pill, as well as the aftermath of Feng Wuchen’s excessive True Yuan consumption!

“Big Brother Feng, don’t get up, you’ve been unconscious for two days, and your injuries have not yet healed,” Miao Qingqing quickly gestured for Feng Wuchen to lie back down.

“I’ve been unconscious for two days?” Feng Wuchen was taken aback and asked anxiously, “What about Qingyang? Has he been found?”

At the question, Miao Qingqing’s eyes flashed with concern, and she shook her head sorrowfully, “No.”

During these two days, Miao Qingqing had been taking care of Feng Wuchen, afraid that he wouldn’t make it, having no time to search. Her heart was more anxious than anyone’s, yet she was powerless.

“Qingqing, give me a Bone Healing Qi Pill and help me up,” Feng Wuchen said as a Bone Healing Qi Pill appeared in the palm of his hand, his mind set.

Miao Qingqing did as Feng Wuchen instructed, administering the elixir and propping him up into a seated position.

Feng Wuchen must recover from his injuries as quickly as possible. Two days have already been lost, and no one knows whether Liu Qingyang is dead or alive.

Two hours later, Feng Wuchen had recovered 30% of his health, but because the injuries were so severe and due to the after-effects of the Soul-Breaking Pill, the healing was slow.

The after-effects were a non-issue for Feng Wuchen, as he had plenty of ways to deal with them.

Even though he had only recovered 30%, Feng Wuchen was eager to go out and search for Liu Qingyang.

With Lin Yunchong gone, no one knew of Liu Qingyang’s whereabouts. Tian Yun Mountain was vast; where could they possibly start looking?

Feng Wuchen searched the memories of the Evil Dragon several times but found no method to trace a scent or any martial arts related to tracking.

If something happened to Liu Qingyang, how would Feng Wuchen explain it to Liu Shan?

Moreover, Feng Wuchen hadn’t yet informed Liu Shan about the matter, and the Liu family was unaware that Liu Qingyang had gone missing.

For several days in a row, Feng Wuchen searched all the mountain ranges surrounding Tian Yun Mountain, as well as all the towns and cities within hundreds of miles, but there was no trace of Liu Qingyang.

As the days passed, both Feng Wuchen and Miao Qingqing became despondent.

In the end, they could only stay in the valley to cultivate, praying for Liu Qingyang’s safety.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and Liu Qingyang’s figure was still nowhere to be seen in the valley.

During this half-month, with the help of the Blood Hoof Spirit Essence, Feng Wuchen’s cultivation had broken through to the Fifth Layer of the Transformative Realm. Had it not been for the two fierce battles he had been through earlier, his cultivation would not have improved so rapidly.

All this was thanks largely to Lin Yunchong and that Transformative Realm Eighthfold expert.

As for Miao Qingqing, with no advancement in her cultivation over the past half-month, her face was drawn and she lacked energy. She couldn’t focus on cultivating and had no intention of doing so. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Liu Qingyang, and she was worried every moment.

Even though half a month had passed without any word from Liu Qingyang, she still held on, waiting every day in the valley, hoping to see him again one day. As long as there was the slightest glimmer of hope, she would not give up.

“Ah.” Seeing the stubborn Miao Qingqing, Feng Wuchen sighed helplessly, thinking to himself, “Qingyang is probably more dead than alive.”

Painful as it was, they had to continue with their cultivation.

Feng Wuchen still had five Blood Hoof Spirit Essences and three portions of Bi Jing Kuang Lion’s blood essence, along with a large number of Tongxuan Pills. If he could absorb all these, his cultivation would surely soar!

“Qingqing, we must continue to cultivate. Right now, we have no way to know whether Qingyang is dead or alive, and worrying too much will become unbearable for you,” Feng Wuchen consoled.

Miao Qingqing nodded with a sob, asking, “Big brother Feng, do you think if Brother Liu is no longer with us, he can still see us?”

“…” Feng Wuchen was deeply moved inside and didn’t know how to respond.

“Big brother Feng, I won’t give up until I see Brother Liu’s body. I believe he must still be alive!” Miao Qingqing suddenly turned and said with a steadfast look in her eyes.

Seeing Miao Qingqing’s resolute gaze, Feng Wuchen felt a surge of emotion.

“I also believe Qingyang is still alive, Qingqing, don’t worry, he will definitely come back,” Feng Wuchen reassured.

“Yes!” Miao Qingqing nodded vigorously, bravely wiping away her tears.

“Go back to cultivating with diligence, don’t let that guy outdo you!” Feng Wuchen said with a light smile.

“I’ll listen to you, big brother Feng,” Miao Qingqing said with a forced smile, not disclosing whether she was hiding her vulnerability from Feng Wuchen or not wanting to disappoint him.

Watching Miao Qingqing return to the cave dwelling, Feng Wuchen sighed softly to himself, muttering, “The world is uncertain and unpredictable.”

Time flies in cultivation, and another half month passed in the blink of an eye, making it a full month without sighting Liu Qingyang.

Perhaps this is how ruthless the world is.

Perhaps Liu Qingyang was already dead.

Although Feng Wuchen and Miao Qingqing found it hard to accept, they no longer showed their grief on their faces.

Time waits for no one, and as the days went by, with the help of the Blood Hoof Spirit Essence and the Bi Jing Kuang Lion’s blood essence, Feng Wuchen’s cultivation soared rapidly, achieving another breakthrough in a month and a half.

Feng Wuchen’s cultivation had now reached the Sixth Layer of the Transformative Realm!

Miao Qingqing’s cultivation had also had a breakthrough, reaching the Fourth Layer of the Transformative Realm. Her cultivation had been hugely affected by the worry and sadness in her heart.

“Qingqing, let’s go down the mountain,” Feng Wuchen suddenly said.

“Descend the mountain?” Miao Qingqing was taken aback, her beautiful eyes showing reluctance and hope.

The reluctance was because she was worried that Liu Qingyang would return to find them if they left.

The hope was to see Liu Qingyang before they left the valley.

Feng Wuchen nodded, softly stating, “Yes, descend.”

“Where to?” Miao Qingqing asked.

“Burn Heaven Valley,” Feng Wuchen replied.

“Burn Heaven Valley? Can we really take on Burn Heaven Valley with our current strength?” Miao Qingqing asked anxiously, as going there seemed tantamount to a suicide mission.

The strength of Burn Heaven Valley was fearsome. Setting aside how many strong fighters they had within the valley, and not to mention the terrifying power of Su Yuanshan, they could probably not even beat Burn Heaven Valley’s top disciple!

Feng Wuchen shook his head, saying, “We’ve looked everywhere nearby and haven’t found Qingyang, except for Burn Heaven Valley. Maybe Qingyang is in Burn Heaven Valley! We will go and demand his return.”

“Brother Liu is in Burn Heaven Valley!” Miao Qingqing’s heart shook, a strong sense of hope flooding her.
