The Demon God King's son-in-law
CHAPTER 360 | Purification of the Universe
Shen Long's eyes looked fiery red. He looked around then looked at the eternal flame above the pyramid. He then darted over the pyramid and stood on the eternal flame.
Shen Long's actions for normal people were classified as insane for burning his own body on an eternal flame. Qiongqi and Princess LingMei were surprised to see that, but they could not prevent it.
But what Shen Long felt was far different from reality. He actually felt his body become more comfortable after the immortal flames burned his body.
The strange thing was that his body was not burned by the flames, as the power of the dragon god radiating out protected his body from the eternal flames that were burning his body.
Shen Long closed his eyes and meditated while standing on the eternal flame. The energy circulation throughout his body was spinning increasingly faster. His strength increased rapidly due to the rotation of the energy.
Shen Long's body seemed to be enlarged as his strength was increasing by leaps and bounds. The light emanated increasingly brighter from his body and exerted pressure around the ancient city.
“Ah, this pressure again, the inner” of Princess LingMei when she felt the pressure again pressing down on her body. He also moved away before the pressure got stronger on him.
Seeing Princess LingMei move away, Qiongqi followed her. His instincts as a mystical animal also said he should stay away from Shen Long.
Sure enough, the pressure of strength from Shen Long's body grew even greater, as his body also enlarged. The pyramid buildings surrounding the eternal flame trembled violently and some were shattered by the immense pressure of Shen Long's power.
“This stage breaks through the power of the Universe Refining,” muttered Princess LingMei who felt amazed by it.
Princess LingMei and Qiongqi grew further away after the pressure came back to her until she was at the end of the ancient city. “We can no longer convolute from this place,” said Qiongqi who also began to feel pressure to their place.
Princess LingMei and Qiongqi looked resignedly accepting the pressure of Shen Long's strength from a distance that had reached where they stood. The buildings of the ancient city had been heavily collapsed and destroyed by the pressure of Shen Long's strength.
Shen Long's body had enlarged to three times his previous body. Shen Long felt his strength had already reached its limit, then he exhaled.
“Hyaaa..”.
Shen Long shouted loudly until he threw his strength in all directions and his body shrank back to its original shape. But the force of his strength swept out in all directions. That wind also blew away Qiongqi and Princess LingMei yet they were unharmed for having been on the cave wall.
It was just that the two of them felt their breath tightened by that pressure and found it hard to inhale.
After the thump had passed, Princess LingMei and Qiongqi seemed to be panting for breath. They drooped weakly as a result of the pressure and the blow of Shen Long's strength.
“Oh, I'm not strong anymore. If this happens again, I can die standing,” Princess LingMei muttered in her heart.
Shen Long opened his eyes and looked around. Shen Long looked surprised as the buildings in the ancient city seemed to be smashed apart. His eyes also looked at Princess LingMei and Qiongqi in the distance who were sitting exhausted while panting.
“Am I the one doing all this?” Shen Long pondered the incident. He immediately descended and flew towards Princess LingMei and Qiongqi.
“Hah...What...hah..you managed to break through the Universal Refining Shen..hah.ah?” princess LingMei asked with a breath.
“How do you feel sir?” qiongqi asked him.
“Learnest. I have never felt full of aura and spirit like this,”.
Qiongqi and Princess LingMei were also pleased with Shen Long's achievement. They also finished breathing again.
“Qiongqi, thank you. Thanks to you I was able to obtain the essence of the dragon god sari as well as the clues to increase my strength. I will use the instructions of the Master to increase my strength again,” Shen Long said.
“A-are you crazy Shen? Your body will have difficulty receiving continuous increases in strength. It's best that you align it first before upgrading back,” shouted Princess LingMei who felt anxious about it.
Hearing Princess LingMei's words, Shen Long nodded his head. “True, for ordinary enhancement, the body will not be able to survive breaking through nature many times. But the method given by Master Sakti to me in his memory is very simple and does not cause that danger.” Shen Long said with excited eyes.
“This ancient city is very much related to the lake and the Desert of Fire. I thank you Princess. Thanks to you we came here and I'm really lucky to get an increase in strength so soon.”
Shen Long paid his respects to Princess LingMei as well as Qiongqi. After all, without their help, he would not have been able to achieve results so far.
“Then what are your next plans Shen?” ask Princess LingMei.
“Lake. According to the instructions Guru Sakti said the lake water contains substances that are able to absorb energy around this place for thousands of years. And the water never receded all this time. I have to meditate in that water,” Shen Long said.
Qiongqi understood Shen Long's intent. Then Qiongqi opened the next lever to bring up the open staircase leading up to the land of the Desert of Fire. The three of them climbed onto the land of the Fire Desert. The lake was far away from where they had appeared.
“Get on my back! I'll take you to that lake.” Qiongqi offered herself.
Shen Long and Princess LingMei then jumped on Qiongqi's back and set off towards the lake from a distance.
After they arrived at the edge of the lake, Shen Long descended from Qiongqi's body with Princess LingMei.
Shen Long walked up to the lake and felt a different aura from the middle of the lake. “Truly a treasure. The Desert of Fire does deserve to be a treasure ground,” Shen Long murmured.
“You guys wait here. I'll go inside the lake to break through the next stage of nature.”
Without waiting for their answer, Shen Long immediately jumped into the middle of the lake. He drowned to the bottom of the lake.
This time Shen Long exerted his strength to be able to make him breathe from the circulation of the power and air in the water. The strength in Shen Long's body circulated rapidly. He exerted all the power of the Purification of the Universe.
The power of the Universe Refining realm emitted by Shen Long, was absorbed by the substances contained within that lake water. Then Shen Long re-absorbed that energy from the lake water.
The rotation of that power circulates rapidly between Shen Long and the lake water.
