Supreme Dragon Soul.

Chapter 680 The Blood Demon Awakens, Six Breaths of Sword Intent!

"Master, rest assured, I will avenge my senior brother in four days and make you proud."

"Ah."

Since Luo Cheng had the ability to kill a pseudo-Earth-level expert, the Supreme Elder of the Ming Sect was quite reassured about the outcome of this battle.

If Yun Tianyan could kill a pseudo-Earth-level expert, he wouldn't just be ranked 102nd on the Domain Ranking; he should have been on the Domain Ranking long ago!

Thinking of this, the Supreme Elder of the Ming Sect couldn't help but say:

"Luo Cheng, you've already qualified to enter the Domain Ranking by defeating Yun Tianyan. Entering the Domain Ranking will be of great benefit to you. After this battle, you can prepare to challenge for the Domain Ranking."

"it is good."

Luo Cheng had long planned to do this.

However, his goal was not to climb the Domain Ranking, but to become number one! Just like the Empress of Great Chu back then, to become the most powerful and invincible person in the Yunlan Domain Group!
“As the eldest inner disciple of the Lieyun Sect, if you were to kill Yun Tianyan, the Lieyun Sect would certainly not be able to swallow this insult and might resort to some underhanded tactics. I will immediately have your Master Qingkui send someone to Yunquan City to protect you.”

With Yin Li around, Luo Cheng wasn't worried about the Lieyun Sect making any underhanded moves.

Unless a master at the level of a Supreme Elder of the Lieyun Sect personally intervenes.

However, after so many years of open and covert struggles among the three sects, they had long since formed a tacit understanding that disputes between disciples would be resolved by the disciples themselves.

As the core fighting force of their respective sects and the top experts of the Great Yue Dynasty, if the three Supreme Elders were to take action, it would not be a small skirmish between disciples, but an all-out war!
"Thank you Master!"

Luo Cheng did not refuse the proposal from the Supreme Elder of the Ming Sect and readily accepted it.

His ambiguous relationship with Yin Li made him very uneasy, so he thought it best to avoid getting entangled and didn't want to owe her too many favors.

Elder Mingzong gave a few more instructions before ending the conversation.

The matter of killing the ten disciples has finally been settled, which has greatly relieved Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng put away his identity token, closed his eyes, lay back in the hot spring, and enjoyed this rare moment of relaxation.

Whether it was the hot spring or the mental strain of the past few days, Luo Cheng soon fell into a deep sleep, leaving only a sliver of consciousness.

Thousands of meters underground in Yunquan City.

In the crisscrossing underground passages, the blood-red spring has become even more vivid in color. The blood is thick and viscous, and one can vaguely see the enormous blood shadow deep within the spring.

Sudden.

The entire river of blood churned violently, filled with a bloody mist that rose and permeated the entire underground passage.

Wow!
A wave of blood surged in the river of blood, and the enormous, dormant blood shadow slowly emerged from the blood. Its body seemed to be formed from a mass of blood, with only its facial features clearly visible, making it neither human nor inhuman.

"Heh heh, how dare you hurt me! Once I recover and successfully transform back into human form, I will drain you all dry and turn you into my puppets..."

Blood Shadow grinned, letting out a metallic, ear-piercing laugh. His blood-red pupils emitted intense crimson light, his expression as evil as could be, as if he were the embodiment of all evil in the world.

It suddenly looked upwards, its bloody mouth splitting open: "The essence and blood of so many people, if I devour this essence and blood, it will be enough to restore my vitality, and even allow me to successfully transform into human form..."

Wow!

The blood-red figure twisted and contorted before suddenly diving back into the spiritual spring.

At the same time, a large amount of blood mixed with endless resentment began to seep into the underground spiritual springs in all directions!
The underground spiritual spring, which was originally hazy with jade light and filled with spiritual energy, gradually became stained with a trace of blood-red aura. This aura was extremely subtle and barely perceptible.

midnight.

Luo Cheng awoke from his meditation.

"Feels good! It's been so long since I've felt this relaxed!!" Luo Cheng stretched as he stepped out of the hot spring.

Not yet sixteen, he still retained a touch of childishness, which only made him appear more handsome. His slightly slender figure was by no means weak; his muscles were clearly defined, and his skin was radiant and translucent, as if he were a body cast in steel.

"Huh, the injuries have completely healed!"

After taking a moment to feel it, Luo Cheng was surprised to find that the weakness he had felt after being seriously injured had completely disappeared. He was full of energy and his blood was surging. He had recovered to his peak condition and even felt a sense of power he had never felt before.

"Let's see how your sword intent at its peak works!"

Energizing his sword intent, Luo Cheng pointed with both fingers.

Chi!

The mist that had gathered above the hot spring was suddenly separated and could not be reconciled. The spring water, based on the sword intent, condensed into a long sword of flowing water.

Compared to before, the Water Flow Sword appears more realistic, gleaming and even with a faint, cold glint in its blade. Its spirituality and sharpness give the impression of a real sword!

Wow!

Nearly six breaths passed before the water-flowing sword finally dissipated.

"My sword intent could only last for two breaths before, but now it's almost three times stronger! It seems I underestimated myself!"

Luo Cheng's face lit up with a delighted smile.

Even true sword intent cannot exist forever. The longer a sword intent can materialize, the stronger it tends to be!

As far as Luo Cheng knew, an ordinary swordsman at the Sword Intent level could only maintain his sword intent for seven or eight breaths when he first broke through.

"So, even though my sword intent hasn't broken through yet, its power is already approaching that of true sword intent! Add to that the powerful killing attribute sword intent, and it might not be much different! Or even surpass it!"

Luo Cheng couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

His sword intent is still only in its rudimentary form, yet it already possesses such power. What kind of power will it have when it truly breaks through in the future!
"My current strength is enough to fight a regular Earth-level expert head-on. However, my cultivation level is still a weakness. I am not entirely confident that I can defeat an Earth-level expert."

"I must strive to break through to the ninth level of the Awakening Meridian Realm as soon as possible, or even the limit of the ninth level of the Awakening Meridian Realm. In this way, I can advance to the next level and be able to defeat a powerful Earth-level expert!"

Judging from Yin Li's words, if you want to compete for the top spot on the Domain Ranking, you must have the strength to defeat a powerful Earth-level expert!

Breakthroughs in sword intent require a catalyst, which is difficult to control. After his duel with Yun Tianyan, Luo Cheng decided to focus all his efforts on advancing his cultivation level!
Having experienced the great battle with the pseudo-Earth-level expert, he has already reached a bottleneck in his cultivation. With the remaining few Lesser Chaos Profound Pills, he should be able to break through to the ninth level of the Awakening Meridian Realm in no time.

"Three hundred Qi Pills a day, we can't waste them, let's cultivate some more."

Seeing that it was still early, Luo Cheng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and gradually got into the zone.

call!
Not long after, Luo Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

As soon as he began his cultivation, he keenly noticed that he felt inexplicably restless and that negative emotions were constantly growing.

Continuing like this will not only reduce the effectiveness of cultivation, but may also lead to unpredictable consequences.

"Could it be that we can't stay at this spiritual spring for long? Well, let's see what we've gained during this time!"

Thinking it was just a side effect of the spiritual spring, Luo Cheng didn't think much of it. He put on his clothes, headed to the training ground, and prepared to take stock of the wealth he had amassed over the past few days.

Gulu!

He had just left when an inconspicuous bubble suddenly appeared in the hot spring, carrying a faint trace of blood-red aura. As the bubble burst, this blood-red aura immediately disappeared into the spring water without a trace.
