Chapter 158: Blood Essence Evil Yuan
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Rumor had it that the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique had three forms. One was the ordinary form of Internal Qi with pure fire property. It had amazing lethality, but nothing special. The second form was a Fire Dragon which Junior Leopard had cultivated. Fire Dragon was the entity of Internal Qi with fire property. Compared to the first form, its power was several times stronger. Even if it met with steel, it could melt it in an instant. Beyond that, it could be used flexibly. If it was controlled by divine thoughts, one could easily kill an opponent over 100 feet away with great facility even if he attacked the opponent with the Fire Dragon separated from his body. When the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique was cultivated to a perfect form, it could form nine Fire Dragons. In fact, the second form was needed to cultivate Gang Qi of this technique. One could converge Evil Qi and make it into Gang Qi only when his Internal Qi reached the second form. Many other people immediately began to cultivate Gang Qi after they reached the second form. The reason was that, generally speaking, one should reach the Bone-Forging Realm as well as Level Five cultivation and then could form the Fire Dragon which would make his Internal Qi a better quality. At the time the second form was stable which meant that his cultivation nearly reached the peak of Level Six, he then could begin to condense Gang Qi.
When the Gang Qi of this technique was successfully cultivated, one could continue to practice the Fire Dragon with at most nine Fire Dragons. These nine dragons together with Gang Qi of this technique would integrate as a whole which would make the power of the Gang Qi of this technique rise strikingly. A power that could destroy everything!
However, things were not that easy. Nine Fire Dragons were hard to cultivate.
With the improvement of cultivation, especially the completion of practicing Gang Qi, the Internal Qi was getting clearer and connected closer with the body. But it needed Internal Qi with quality several times higher than the first level to cultivate the second Fire Dragon. Besides, the third one was more demanding than the second one. The quality of Internal Qi that nine Fire Dragons needed was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. As a mater of fact, gifted as the Patriarch of the Wu Family, he only practiced four Fire Dragons. With such a cultivation, he could overrun the whole world and go anywhere as he pleased. No one could defeat him!
As for the third form of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique, it only existed in the legends. In the earliest record, when one’s insight toward the technique reached a mysterious state, or we could say, when one nearly possessed infinite Spiritual Qi with fire property by luck, then he probably could successfully cultivate the third form of this technique. It was the most perfect form, Nine Forms of Real Dragon.
Nine Forms of Real Dragon demonstrated nine forms of the real dragon. Every form had its special use and tremendous power. More importantly, the real dragon with forms of the nine dragons would not be just the incarnation of your Internal Qi but they could even have spiritual intelligence. Of course, this was merely a legend.
It was a consensus that the Nine Forms of Real Dragon was a legend, while the record of the last one who successfully cultivated the Nine Forms of Real Dragon was about 10,000 years ago. Furthermore, the record was not detailed. He only knew the names of these nine forms and their basic forms. Just like the one he possessed called Lion.
Junior Leopard never dreamed of successfully cultivating the third form of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique, Nine Forms of Real Dragon, in this place and under these circumstances.
But thinking about it carefully, it could happen here. This place was full of strong Spiritual Qi of fire property, which was almost infinite. Therefore, it was the first condition needed for the real dragon form to take shape. What was more, the Internal Qi in his External Elixir moved at a pretty high speed. It never stopped and went without any error. In a sense, his External Elixir’s comprehension toward the wonderful usage of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique was totally beyond his body. As a result, it became the second condition of forming the nine forms of the real dragon. Hence, he successfully and inexplicably cultivated this legendary form.
“Nine Forms of Real Dragon, the Lion of nine dragons!” Junior Leopard slowly opened his eyes and a rare animal surrounded by a flame that looked like a dragon as well as a lion flew out from between his eyebrows. It hovered around him for several circles. Junior Leopard’s mind moved and he rose up his hand. The Lion suddenly raised its head and its body transformed into several golden flames. It dashed forward towards the direction that Junior Leopard pointed.
Several sounds of thunder were heard. The earth was trembling and the mountain was swaying. Gravels over his head with hot flames flew everywhere, looking like both an earth dragon turned over and a magma burst.
After it was all over, it became quiet again. Looking at the situation of the whole passageway, Junior Leopard was totally shocked. There was a giant pothole in the passageway before him which he made with great force. Tons of gravel had fallen down to fill it, yet it was not filled up. The pothole exposed outside was over 10 feet deep with a diameter which was more than 50 feet. Golden red magma burst out from the ground and filled up the empty hole very quickly. Then a giant lava pit was formed.
The golden red fireball did not disappear; instead, it came back to Junior Leopard’s side and floated around him. Gradually, it became the shape of a Lion and went in between Junior Leopard’s eyebrows.
The Lion of the nine dragons was shaped like a lion and was fond of spitting fire.
“Oh my god, it was more powerful than the Extraordinary Strength Fist together with the silver hammer executed. Most important of all, it doesn’t exhaust any Internal Qi. The third form of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique indeed as expected lived up to its reputation. This is just the first dragon. How about the second one, the third…?!”
Thinking about that, Junior Leopard was excited. But in view of the demanding requirement of practicing the second and the third dragon, he would abandon his idea of continuing to practice the next dragon.
Keeping the Lion in his body, Junior Leopard continued to move forward. He had come here for one of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, the Extreme Yang Heavenly Sword, and not to clear the Nine Forms of Real Dragon. The Heavenly Sword of Two Forms was a special technique that he had got earlier on and also one that the Wang She called the most powerful ones in the world. No matter what special technique it was, it was definitely worth practicing if it got the praise of Wang She who had already become an expert of Level Nine.
Moreover, Wang She himself also practiced the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. Judging by his status, how could he practice it if the power was not as strong?
With light and active steps, Junior Leopard gently and quickly moved forward to cross over the giant lava pit that the Lion had just made. He rose up his hand again; three golden fireballs suddenly appeared on his fingertips. He gently waved his hand, and both the earth and stone in the pothole were blasted away. Then, three fireballs flew back to his hand and rotated around his wrist.
The passageway was clear, but Junior Leopard didn’t move forward immediately because the destination was not far away from him. He could clearly see it even if he stood here.
The so called Earth Vein Evil Qi did not refer to a specific place. It had many patterns. Take two examples that Junior Leopard had seen long before. One was the Flickering Light Evil Qi that could practice the Three Realms Division, while another one was the Evil Qi with cold property in the West Mountain Pass. The former one was a flat ground, however, the latter was in the mountain pass underneath a pile of rubbles. Whereas in the underground fire vein, fire toxin namely Evil Qi with fire property pervaded everywhere. Though the fire toxin was pretty much everywhere, the categories of Evil Qi were numerous. The fire toxin was lethal for ordinary people, but it was too thin and heterogeneous for people who wanted to practice special technique with Evil Qi like Junior Leopard. It couldn’t meet the requirement of practicing special technique, so he needed to look for it.
It was extremely hard to look for suitable Earth Vein Evil Qi in other places, yet it was not a big deal in this underground fire vein.
It was when Lu Shaoyou proposed marriage to Ma Linglong that Junior Leopard first saw Wang She using the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. However, what he used was the Extreme Yin Heavenly Sword. Later, he saw Wang She using the whole set of Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. It may be assumed that the Evil Qi he used to practice the Extreme Yang Heavenly Sword came from this underground fire vein.
This Evil Qi with fire property that Junior Leopard found was in good quality. It was a small pit which was originally located in an extremely confined space. The last time he explored the Evil Qi along this branch, he incidentally felt that inside the stone wall of it was a strange as well as an amazing coercion. Besides, the temperature there was much lower than its surroundings. He felt pretty cool when he passed there, thus, it drew his attention. He broke through the wall of the passageway and then found this small pit, in which there was dark red viscous liquid that looked like blood.
It was impossible to tell what the liquid was and what made it special by just observing it. He could not even be sure that the coolness he had felt while he passed the passageway was caused by it.
Junior Leopard intuitively felt that this pit of liquid was very dangerous, but he could not tell where the danger was.
However, when he gently kicked a piece of rubble toward the pit, it instantly evaporated when it was about four inches away from the dark red liquid. Junior Leopard was very surprised, and he then tried several times with rubbles, metal and various kinds of things of all sizes, but without exception, all of them evaporated at a distance of four inches away from the liquid. He threw a stone toward the pit with all his strength, and it also evaporated at the same distance. The stone really evaporated, though it was hard to believe. With all his strength, the stone carried great force and rushed to the liquid, finally making a wave on the surface of it. This assured him that the liquid was cohered by the Earth Vein Evil Qi, and four inches above it was filled with Evil Qi at a breathtaking high temperature. Meanwhile, it was the very best material that the Extreme Yang Heavenly Sword needed.
If Wang She was here, looking at the Evil Qi which already became liquid in the pit, he would go crazy. The Evil Qi here was the most powerful Evil Qi with fire property and also the most destructive one, the Blood Essence Evil Yuan.
