The Dragon God of Destruction
Major Breakthroughs
Eternal Realm
The sky was still dark, black clouds were constantly splashing golden-coloured lightning ready to explode at any moment. Just below the dark clouds, Jie Yan was seen smiling slightly because even though he felt pain, he felt that the Heavenly Lightning examination was an opportunity for him as well.
As the lightning sparks grew wild, Jie Yan did not waste any time and activated the Black Dragon Destruction bloodline which had the property to devour just about anything.
Blars!
The moment the golden lightning exploded, it struck right at Jie Yan's body. It was very noticeable that he was enduring the excruciating pain. However, no one noticed that there was a layer of black-colored fog aura enveloping his body and it absorbed the essence contained in the golden lightning.
Jie Yan clenched both of his hands, enduring the pain. He was able to sense when he absorbed the essence of the golden lightning, it made his two Spiritual Roots increasingly stronger, his strength steadily increasing over time.
In a place far enough away, Xiao Ziya who was watching raised the corner of her lips as she had expected that such a thing would happen because she had learned the true nature of the bloodline power of the Black Dragon of Destruction.
To the cultivators from Sword City who were staring at it, they were all shocked and speechless because only this time did they see someone who broke through to the Eternal Transformation level about to receive the Heavenly Lightning examination.
“Who is that young man?”
“How could he undergo the Heavenly Lightning test when redeeming the level of Eternal Transformation?”
“What a hard to believe!”
“Is he the supreme genius who has appeared so that his presence is not accepted by nature?”
The cultivators from the Padang City spoke to each other and did not wink when gazing towards Jie Yan who looked to be enduring the pain.
Even the young man who was still weak among them stared at the scene in disbelief. Although he was young, his knowledge could be said to be very broad. He had read the ancient record that when someone with heaven-defying talent or an extraordinary bloodline, when changing qi from mortal to immortal, they would receive the test of Heavenly Lightning.
This is an event that will only occur one of billions of living things. Nature never allowed a person with abilities capable of reversing the universe to be born.
This was why nature made the Heavenly Lightning examination in order to hinder a peak genius from stepping into the next stage.
When the second lightning died down, Jie Yan appeared to have bruises on many parts of his body. But the smile on his face seemed to be getting brighter. He could sense that his cultivation as well as the manual he was processing would make up for at any time. He looked up at the sky and hoped that there would still be lightning trying to kill him.
Although Jie Yan felt his life was threatened at any moment by the golden lightning, he still wanted to experience it as his strength increased by leaps and bounds due to the golden lightning.
Brr! Brr!
Lightning splashed back which made Jie Yan's eyes seem even more excited.
“Whatever you are, I don't know why you're stopping me from breaking through! However, I must thank you for the attack you gave me, my strength will instantly break through to the next stage! Come here!” Inner Jie Yan as he prepared to receive the next golden lightning.
Blars!
The exploding third lightning seemed almost three times larger than before which made Jie Yan's eyes widen instantly. He could tell that if he was a little careless, then he would have died on the spot. He felt that the bloodline power of the Black Dragon of Destruction alone would not be able to hold all those golden lightning.
“Secret Art, Space Breaker Teleportation Hole!”
Dungs!
Right above Jie Yan, a gigantic purple vortex appeared then tried to withstand the lightning explosion.
Ssssshh!
The purple vortex devoured most of the golden lightning then the purple vortex was instantly destroyed and the rest of the golden lightning struck Jie Yan's body.
The bomb!
Cracks! Cracks!
Jie Yan felt the bones in his body screech as he resisted the damage inflicted by the golden lightning. He continued to cultivate the Celestial Art Book: The Body of the Dragon God.
When the manual reached a certain level while absorbing the essence of the golden lightning, the bones in Jie Yan's body as well as all the cells present in his body seemed to be recycled.
Duars!
Black lightning mixed with anger exploded in all directions. The charred wounds seen all over the surface of Jie Yan's body recovered at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
“Second Layer intermediate level Celestial Art Book Dragon God Body!”
Jie Yan said in his heart. Aside from that, he was able to sense that his cultivation had also broken through to the intermediate stage Immortal Transformation level. This is a very wonderful harvest. Moreover, he could feel that the qi within his body was continuously surging nonstop even though he knew that it would not make him break through to the next stage.
However, with such qi in numbers, it was certain that Jie Yan would not be breaking through for long into the late stage Immortal Transformation level. If he were to find an after-resource, he would definitely be able to break through directly.
Aside from that, Jie Yan was able to sense that his Concept of Space and Time along with the concept of Destruction had reached the first level of the elementary level.
“It was really unexpected that I got so many parcels!” Inner Jie Yan and he wanted to feel more Heavenly Lightning. If that happened, then it was certain that his cultivation would continue to increase.
As the golden lightning was about to subside, Jie Yan frowned as he had originally repelled some of the golden lightning as he had just broken through. The sword that was inside his spatial ring appeared suddenly.
It was his mother's relic sword, the sword seemed to absorb the remaining golden lightning essence at a fairly insane speed.
“This.” Jie Yan could sense a certain aura from the sword. This is a very strange thing he thinks. As a novice sword user, he could always sense that there were many levels to a swordsman.
But, this time Jie Yan sensed that when he held the sword, his skill like it would improve by itself. He did not know whether this was a special feature of the sword or indeed he understood the essence of the sword due to the golden lightning before.
Taps!
When Jie Yan held the purple sword, the golden lightning died down.
The sraing! The sraing! The sraing!
Strange blades exploded from Jie Yan's body in all directions and cut all the places he passed through.
The sword experts who were staring at it, widened their eyes and it was seen that they were extremely excited at the moment.
To the number one swordsman in that place, the middle-aged man trembled slightly and could not help but mutter a little, “The young man broke through and mastered the first-rate sword intent, Sword Essence!”
Everyone watching it nodded small. They were certainly very familiar about first-rate sword intent. Without using qi, one was able to launch an attack from a distance though.
This signified how tough the sword-wearing cultivator was. For cultivators who had redeemed the Sword Essence realm sword intent, they could be said to be on par with late stage Immortal Transformation realm cultivators. This was the beginning of a breakthrough and the longer the sword trained, it would reach incredible heights.
For the second stage of the sword intent was the Sword Eye. A person who had reached that level had been recognized as a renowned swordsman. And the final stage of the sword intent known to the swordsman was the Great Swordsman who had reached the realm of sword intent, the Sword Heart.
This was a level only mastered by swordsmen who devoted their entire lives to training their swordsmanship. When it reached the level of the Heart Sword, then they would be able to compare to the highest level experts in the Eternal Realm.
The young man who was originally watching from a distance, stared at Jie Yan's breakthrough to the level of Sword Essence. The fighting intent in his body surged as he was desperate to fight against someone who was of the same level as himself in the sword realm and of course it was a young swordsman.
“Interesting, in order to reach Sword Essence, swordsmen would usually train for hundreds of years to achieve it! I thought that my talent in swordsmanship was already very high since I trained in swordsmanship for less than 30 years. But that young man, he looked less than 20 years old! This is a very worthy opponent to challenge!” Inner of the young man.
Even for the senior swordsman who was there to consider Jie Yan as a sword genius and was looking forward to him growing so that they could fight him one day.
