Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 486 Fire Refining
Originally, I planned to go to Xiantian Mountain to cultivate after comprehending the Ancient King Array, and then go to the Great Battlefield.

"no way."

"Then... what about the quota for enlightenment?" Zhou Leng asked.

Molten Hammer said, "Take one and study it on the way. Once you've finished studying it, return it. You're a dwarf duke, you have the right to do so."

"Okay, I'll pick one first."

Zhou Leng looked at the three treasures.

Three-eyed crystals are too strange; carrying them on your person could easily lead to trouble.

The broken sword exuded murderous intent, and it was inconvenient to carry it around.

Only that shield is suitable to carry, and it looks similar to the Battlefield Shield, so it might be related to the Great Battlefield.

Therefore, Zhou Leng chose to borrow the shield fossil.

After completing the formalities, the two had just stepped out of the gate of the Ancient King's Array when Emerald Wings swept across the sky, grabbing one of them and flying them forward.

The red dragon has already left.

"So soon?" Zhou Leng grabbed the dragon claw of the Emerald Wings.

Emerald Wings said, "I don't care. If the Queen gets angry, she can whip my ass raw."

"Why are you arresting me?" Molten Hammer asked.

"I thought you enjoyed chatting with me, so I just grabbed you. Or should I put you down now?"

Molten Hammer looked down, then quickly looked up and clung tightly to the dragon claw, saying, "No, no, no, this is fine. I'm used to being carried around."

Zhou Leng asked a few questions and then thought about the fossilized shield.

Hammer was as talkative as a chatterbox, chatting enthusiastically with Emerald Wing.

Emerald Wings flew at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary dragons, constantly casting spells along the way. Leaving the dwarven world and entering the dragon world, it flew tens of thousands of kilometers before landing in front of the Crimson Dragon's Nest.

Zhou Leng looked up and saw a mountain over a thousand meters high, with a huge cave carved out inside its belly.

Inside the cave, magical flames burned everywhere.

The mountainside has been carved into display cases, filled with all sorts of treasures, but at first glance they all seem to be cheap items with shiny exteriors.

Deep inside the cave stands a black obsidian platform, in the center of which lies a red dragon over twenty meters long, with a graceful figure.

The bright red dragon scales glowed faintly, and a pair of huge eyes looked over, exuding an imposing and awe-inspiring aura.

Yi Long and the other two went inside.

“Your Majesty, I have brought Zhou Leng. The other dwarf is his friend. Please leave him alone.”

"???" The hammer turned its head to look at the Emerald Wing.

Crimson Eyes didn't look at Molten Hammer, but only at Zhou Leng.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, the Crimson-Eyed Queen. Even beyond the four seas and atop the mountains of Blue Star, your beauty and power are celebrated."

"Oh? People from Blue Star know me too?" The crimson-eyed dragon's tail swayed slightly before stopping abruptly.

"Of course, the people of Blue Star universally acknowledge that the Crimson Queen is the most beautiful dragon in the Ten Realms, without exception."

Crimson Eyes scoffed and said, "You Blue Star people have quite the eye, but I don't care about any praise. Let's get down to business. If the Great Battlefield suddenly opens, that would be troublesome."

"This is the contract, in three languages: Dragon Language, Demon Language, and Dragon Kingdom Language. Take a look at it first, and sign it if you agree."

Three contracts floated over.

The contract was very simple: Crimson Eyes considered Zhou Leng an ally and would not harm him under any circumstances. Similarly, Zhou Leng would not harm Crimson Eyes under any circumstances.

Besides that, there are various transactions and explanations.

Zhou Leng read it carefully. The content was consistent across the three languages, with no traps or traces of any special magic.

It seems that Scarlet Eyes is cooperating with integrity.

Just as Emerald Wings had said, she really wanted to get in touch with the Pale Queen and also wanted the treasures of the Great Battlefield.

Both parties breathed a sigh of relief after signing the agreement.

With a flick of its crimson eyes, the dragon claw sent two items flying to Zhou Leng's front.

One is a battlefield shield, and the other is a bone bottle containing surging power.

"The Battlefield Shield Token needs no explanation; what's in this bottle is the essence of dragon blood."

"The chances of you humans obtaining a Blood Body after entering the Dragon Trial are extremely slim."

"However, after drinking the essence of dragon blood, its power will slowly change your blood, giving you a bloodline aura that is almost like that of a dragon."

"In this way, your chances of obtaining the Blood Body will greatly increase."

"The Dragon Trial isn't worth much, but the essence of dragon blood is different. It's made from a drop of demigod dragon blood and some grandmaster dragon blood, and it's extremely rare. I only have five... this bottle."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Leng thought, "Well, Emerald Wings pretends to be weak, and Crimson Eyes pretends to be poor. These two are a perfect match."

Crimson Eyes continued, "I've given you the item; now we can talk about cooperation."

“Your Majesty, we agreed beforehand that we would have two Dragon Blood Body. I can keep only one Battlefield Shield Token, but the essence of dragon blood is indispensable.”

"Oh, I forgot." Crimson Eyes looked innocent and tossed out another bottle of refined dragon blood.

Watching from the side, Hammer thought to himself, "How come these people are all so rich? They're giving away two of these treasures like Dragon Blood."

"What do you want me to do for you?" Zhou Leng asked.

Crimson Eyes said, "Entry into the Great Battlefield is unpredictable each time, so you may not be able to help me."

"However, since the dragon race has entered many times, they have relatively complete maps, and these maps are never made public. They will be of some use to you."

"In addition to the map, I will also give you a valuable notebook."

"My request is simple: whenever you encounter the 'Dragon God's Mark Path,' 'Blood Rainforest,' or 'Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain' marked on the map, you must enter them. Whatever you obtain, you must share half with me. Of course, I won't take it for free; I will reward you with treasures from the dragon race."

"If among what you obtain are a few treasures recorded in the notes, such as 'Dragon God's Blood,' 'Dragon God's Marrow Crystal,' 'Immortal Grass,' or 'Azure Sky Fang,' I will grant you a great deal of wealth. Furthermore, you can enter my treasury and choose any martial arts imprint you desire, anything."

With passionate words, Scarlet Eyes recounted her experiences on the great battlefield.

Zhou Leng muttered to himself that he had never even heard of any of the treasures she mentioned, and that probably very few people in the history of the Ten Realms had ever obtained them, so there was no need to care.

After speaking, Crimson Eyes paused, then said, "If you consume the essence of dragon blood now, I might be able to do you a small favor and help you complete the initial stage of the Blood Body." "Thank you, Your Majesty Crimson Eyes."

After Zhou Leng finished speaking, he took out a bottle of refined dragon blood and drank it on the spot.

Just as Emerald Wings was about to stop her, Crimson Eyes stopped her with a single glance.

call……

Upon tasting the dragon blood, Zhou Leng's entire body burst into flames, which rose three meters high.

The hammer was so frightened that it retreated repeatedly.

Zhou Leng sat cross-legged on the ground, his expression unchanged, and closed his eyes to circulate his qi.

The dragon's blood seeped into the bloodstream along the stomach, flowing through the blood vessels and spreading throughout the body.

The true energy of the stars circulates and enters the blood vessels together.

Dragon blood and vital energy circulate continuously within the body.

Zhou Leng was ignited by the dragon blood flames from the inside out.

However, the hair does not burn, and the skin does not char.

"Good!" Scarlet Eyes praised in a low voice.

The Emerald Wings and the dragon guards in the palace looked at the human with curiosity.

The power of the essence of dragon blood is extraordinary; even a primordial dragon might be injured if it drinks it.

But this human didn't take it seriously at all.

Upon seeing that it was just flames, the molten hammer was no longer worried about Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng could even dive into 20,000-meter-deep divine blood magma, so this level of flame definitely couldn't hurt him.

While absorbing the essence of dragon blood, martial arts can perceive every part of the body.

True Qi flows through the meridians, and blood flows through the blood vessels.

During introspection, strange changes occur in the body.

Flames flickered across the surface of all the meridians.

After being tempered by divine blood magma, and with the help of the wine god fruit, all the divine blood of the earth that it had absorbed entered its meridians.

Ultimately, this forms a kind of innate supernatural power.

Magma veins.

At this moment, his meridians were imbued with a mysterious power, flowing slowly like magma.

Human blood vessels are far more resilient than meridians.

If the meridians are not strong enough, less vital energy can be transported in the same amount of time, resulting in less blood and qi, and ultimately less destructive power.

Especially when one reaches the level of a grandmaster, the qi transforms throughout the body, the meridians shift, and the strength of the meridians becomes even more important.

With the magma meridians, the total amount of true energy transported increased dramatically.

A large amount of vital energy enters the blood vessels from the meridians.

At this moment, his blood was filled with the power of pure dragon blood.

It rolls within the blood vessels.

If it were an ordinary Bone Forging stage martial artist, they would definitely be bursting instantly.

However, the massive amount of true energy and the tempering in the past have allowed the blood in the body to firmly withstand the power of the essence of dragon blood.

Then, absorb it slowly.

Most of the essence of dragon blood enters the bone marrow, which has the ability to produce blood, while only a small portion remains in the blood, continuously strengthening the blood's power as it circulates.

"Not bad!"

After speaking, Crimson Eyes opened its mouth and unleashed a torrent of pure crimson dragon breath, enveloping Zhou Leng.

The dragon's breath flames and the essence of dragon blood flames merge to form an extremely high temperature comparable to divine blood magma.

Zhou Leng remained motionless amidst the raging flames.

The body slowly absorbed the power of the crimson dragon's breath.

The Crimson Eyes underwent trials by high-level dragons, possessing a bloodline akin to that of the stars.

Her dragon breath combined with the essence of dragon blood is equivalent to a demigod dragon helping to refine her.

Dragon power surged into Zhou Leng's blood, flowing turbulently.

Some of it flows to the bone marrow, gradually strengthening the new blood, while some integrates into the existing blood, simultaneously strengthening the inner walls of blood vessels.

The new blood would normally be too strong and damage the blood vessels, but due to the increase in true qi, the blood vessels are protected and can withstand this level of power.

Gradually, the energy of the blood intensified.

After a long while, Crimson Eyes withdrew its dragon breath and said lazily, "The rest is up to you."

Six hours later, Zhou Leng opened his eyes.

The body's Qi and blood are as heavy as lead and mercury, and flow like magma.

Bright red, like fire.

If you circulate your Qi and blood at night, you can see your blood vessels glowing faintly through your skin.

The giant dragon inside the hall looked at Zhou Leng and could clearly sense the aura of the dragon race emanating from his body.

Although it carries a slightly repulsive giant vibe, it doesn't matter.

The Crimson Eyes said, "For at least a year, your bloodline power will be the same as that of an ordinary dragon. But you must remember to continuously participate in the Dragon Trials, compete for the Dragon God's blessing, and consolidate this power. Generally, after receiving the Dragon God's blessing a dozen times, the power will solidify, and you will be able to obtain a complete dragon bloodline body. At that time, your blood and qi will be like a dragon, and your destructive power will be comparable to that of us dragons."

"With your giant form, your potential is almost at the level of the Blood of Tyranny, but still far below mine."

"Unfortunately, you are not destined for the Beast Power Body and the High-level Qi Body. Your achievements will ultimately be inferior to mine."
