Supreme Dragon Soul.

Chapter 630 Profound Dragon Technique, Second Level! The Center of the Battlefield!
Luo Cheng frowned deeply as he looked at the nine corpses before him.

These people had clearly only recently died; he personally killed seven inner disciples of the Lieyun Sect, and their bodies were still warm.

Logically, these people shouldn't have lost any vital energy in such a short time.

But the truth is that the seven inner disciples of the Lieyun Sect have already lost a portion of their vital energy!

As for the two Blood Nether Sect disciples, it was even more exaggerated; at least 30% to 40% of their vital energy was lost!
"Could those corpses also be...?"

Luo Cheng recalled the corpses that had lost a lot of their vital energy.

He had assumed that someone else had mastered the technique of refining essence blood and had gotten there first.

Or perhaps they are disciples of the Blood Ghost Cult.

It is no secret that the Blood Nether Cult disciples possess the means to refine human essence and blood to unleash their own potential.

But now it seems that this is not the case!

Calming his mind, Luo Cheng immediately released his soul power with all his might to carefully sense his surroundings.

"eccentric!"

A moment later, Luo Cheng opened his eyes, staring at the bloodstains on the ground with a strange look in his eyes.

In the soul power perception, the corpse continuously emitted wisps of bloody essence.

These crimson essences, seemingly present yet absent, seeped deep into the earth, and then, as if drawn by some force, all flowed in the same direction!
Luo Cheng wanted to get to the bottom of things and figure out what the mystery was behind it.

However, it is already very difficult for soul power to penetrate the earth, and this place is the Black Cloud Mountains, where the earth is filled with all kinds of chaotic energy, making it even more difficult for soul power to penetrate.

Even with Luo Cheng's soul power strength, when he exerted his full power, his soul power could only radiate into the earth for a little over a thousand meters before reaching its limit, making it difficult to advance any further.

Although he couldn't find the source behind it, Luo Cheng made another astonishing discovery.

Beneath the earth, wisps of blood energy, like streams converging and flowing into the sea, constantly flow from all directions toward the same destination.

This is the mountain peak that Chen Lingyu pointed out earlier!

It is also the core stronghold of the Blood Ghost Cult.

Luo Cheng looked up at the mountain peak.

All that could be seen was a sky filled with malevolent energy, lightning, and thunder. Even from this distance, the sounds of fierce fighting and shouts of battle could be clearly heard!

"I wonder what's hidden there..."

Luo Cheng felt inexplicably heavy-hearted, vaguely sensing that the siege of the Blood Nether Sect's stronghold might not go so smoothly.

"Forget it, I should focus on cultivation first and try to raise the Profound Dragon Technique to the second level!"

There's no use thinking about it now. The only thing to do is to improve our strength as much as possible and adapt to any situation!
If one can break through to the second level of the Profound Dragon Technique, one can unleash twice the combat power, and even if something unexpected happens, one will have more power to protect oneself.

The corpse's essence and blood were constantly being lost, so Luo Cheng didn't delay any longer. He sat down cross-legged and began to devour it directly.

hold head high!
The dragon's roar reverberated, except for two Blood Nether Sect disciples who were unable to condense their martial souls due to excessive loss of essence and blood.

The martial spirits of the seven inner disciples of the Lieyun Sect were successfully extracted and rushed into Luo Cheng's body.

Rumble!
The seven martial spirit essences, including one of Chen Hengzhi's Seven Star Martial Spirit, even though a small portion of them had been lost, were now gathered together, and the essence they contained was astonishing. Like a roaring flood, it rushed along Luo Cheng's meridians and into his dantian!
Under Luo Cheng's guidance, this martial spirit essence continuously surged towards the Yuan Qi Palace, which already had seven or eight parts dragon shape.

This caused the Yuanqi Palace to rotate faster without anyone noticing. With each rotation, the scales on its body became more and more realistic and spiritual, and its tightly closed dragon eyes seemed ready to open at any moment!

Seven-tenths similar!

Eight points!

Nine out of ten! Finally.

hold head high!
A high-pitched dragon roar erupted from Luo Cheng's dantian, and the second dragon-shaped primordial energy palace completely transformed. The dragon's eyes opened, shining brightly, like a real dragon riding the clouds!
This moment.

hum!
A powerful aura erupted from Luo Cheng, sweeping across the entire valley, causing the air to vibrate like water.

"Finally a breakthrough!"

Luo Cheng opened his eyes, overjoyed, and immediately activated the two dragon-shaped Yuan Qi palaces within his body.

hold head high!
Accompanied by the roar of a dragon, two dragon-shaped primordial energy palaces rapidly circled around.

Instantly, Luo Cheng's vital energy, both in quantity and quality, surged dramatically, completely surpassing his previous limits and doubling in power!
Looking at a small earthen mound ahead, Luo Cheng threw a punch.

Boom!

The concentrated fist force flashed through the valley, and the small mound disappeared without a trace, leaving only a huge fist imprint more than ten meters deep!

"This is double the fighting power! A casual punch is almost as powerful as my usual full-force attack!"

Luo Cheng was utterly shocked.

If he had mastered the second level of the Profound Dragon Technique during his battle with Yu Lanxin, the fight wouldn't have been so intense; a few moves would have been enough to decide the winner!
Even a single move!
In high spirits, Luo Cheng immediately put away the Xuanlong Technique and immediately felt a sense of emptiness.

In that short moment, he had consumed a lot of his vital energy.

The second level of the Profound Dragon Technique is indeed unparalleled in power.

However, the consumption has also increased.

"Not bad, considering it can unleash twice the combat power, it's impossible for it not to consume a lot of energy. From now on, I'll keep it as my trump card!"

Luo Cheng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, took out a few Yuan Qi Pills and swallowed them.

"It's a pity I didn't have much time, otherwise I could have tried to break through to the mid-stage of the ninth level of the Awakening Meridian Realm!"

Perhaps due to the breakthrough in the Profound Dragon Technique, Luo Cheng felt that his cultivation bottleneck had loosened.

Given time, he was 60-70% confident he could break through to the mid-stage of the ninth level of the Awakening Pulse Realm.

However, this is clearly not the place to break through.

Shaking his head, Luo Cheng gazed sharply at the mountain peak that exuded murderous aura:
"Go and see!"

Whoosh!
With a swift movement, Luo Cheng charged forward.

This time, he didn't delay any longer, pushing the Shadow Step to its limit, his figure flashing like light and shadow, cutting through the void.

Along the way, the number of people in the mountains and forests gradually increased.

There were disciples from the three major sects, as well as disciples from the Blood Nether Sect, and martial arts masters dressed in various styles.

These Blood Nether Cult disciples were too weak, some of whom were even Transcendent Realm warriors. Luo Cheng had no interest in them unless he saw someone being outmatched, in which case he would step in to deal with them.

"arrive!"

Soon, Luo Cheng arrived at the mountain peak that Chen Lingyu had indicated.

From a distance, it doesn't seem so, but when you get closer, you realize that the mountain is incredibly majestic, thousands of feet high, barren of vegetation, and full of strange rocks, like a giant beast roaming the earth!
At this moment, the entire mountain was filled with the sounds of battle. Disciples from the three major sects and powerful figures from various forces were relentlessly attacking the mountain, and had already reached the mountainside.

More and more black dots rushed down from the mountain peak; these black dots were all disciples of the Blood Nether Cult!

In the sky and on the ground, there were figures engaged in fierce battles everywhere, and corpses were everywhere. Blood stained the rocks red. Coupled with the heavy ominous clouds of the Black Cloud Mountains, an extremely oppressive and terrifying atmosphere was created. Just looking at it made people shudder!
