Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 636 Divine Lake
"An immortal celestial body..."

The first level of the Undying Star Body is the Void-Transfer Body, which, once completed, allows one to fly through a star space filled with destructive power.

Although my space-crossing body is not yet complete, this level of environment is far too weak compared to the starry sky.

He put away the magical artifact and took out the "Dragon God's Skull" obtained from the dragon.

It was about the size of a fist, small, but it was made from the complete head of a demigod black dragon.

Hanging at the waist, wisps of pale red mist entered the nostrils of the Dragon God's skull and swirled around the head.

Most of the power flowed out of the dragon's ears, while a very small portion remained in the dragon's skull.

The power is too weak to use; let's leave it for now.

Look up and look around.

The pale red fog was not thick, but it seemed endless, reducing visibility to only a dozen kilometers, making it impossible to see anything in the distance.

Remembering the dragon's instructions before entering, Zhou Leng sat on the ground, pressed his hands to the ground, and called out in his heart, "Great Star of Desperation," feeling the earth.

It is said that if one is strong enough or devout enough, one will sense the presence of the divine river and be able to directly immerse oneself in it, thus gaining immense benefits.

The luckiest ones can quickly elevate the strength of an ordinary upper-level grandmaster to the upper-level peak, improve their aptitude, and easily advance to grandmaster or even grandmaster king after leaving.

Zhou Leng silently chanted "Great Star of Desperation" in his mind, while activating his martial arts perception.

At first, all I could hear was the sound of the wind and sense the aura of the deadly mist.

Gradually, I sensed a long, flowing force, like a river, in a place not far away.

Zhou Leng opened his eyes, got up, checked the direction, and ran in that direction.

It seems the dragons' words weren't necessarily accurate; they said it would take at least ten minutes to perceive the situation, but in reality, it only took a dozen seconds.

After running for over fifty kilometers, three shadows suddenly appeared ahead.

Zhou Leng abruptly stopped, preparing for battle.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be three very strange creatures.

It was over three meters tall, with a human-like body, but even more robust, covered in blue scales, resembling a body made of flesh and rock.

Around its neck was a ferocious red carp, about a meter long, with a head, body and tail.

However, each carp was covered in red dragon scales, and its head was exceptionally large, with red threads swirling in its large eyes.

The spirit of the dead, the dragon carp.

Two high-level grandmasters and one great grandmaster, their auras far surpassed those of ordinary grandmasters, and even those of ordinary demigod bloodlines.

Zhou Leng is currently a mid-level Grandmaster. Even if he uses Starry Sky True Energy, he can only flee when facing a top-level Grandmaster like this. There is absolutely no way he can kill him.

Zhou Leng breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it clearly.

Among the undead spirits of the dragon race, the dragon carp are considered relatively gentle; they will not kill dragons unless provoked.

But they showed no mercy to the giants.

The three dragon carp looked at Zhou Leng with a puzzled expression, then exchanged glances and whispered something to each other.

The leading Grandmaster, Long Liren, waved to Zhou Leng.

Seeing that they meant no harm, and knowing that he possessed the blessing of the Dragon God and the extraordinary body of the dragon blood, Zhou Leng cautiously approached them, ready to fight or flee at any moment.

Upon approaching, the three dragon-carp seemed somewhat curious, making gurgling noises, which Zhou Leng waved to indicate that he couldn't understand.

But the dragon carp seems to be a chatterbox, constantly talking.

Zhou Leng thought for a moment, then used divine script to ask, "I can't understand your language, but can you understand mine?"

The three dragon carp were dumbfounded. The Grandmaster was fine, but the other two high-ranking dragon carp even moved their knees and almost knelt down.

"Gugujiji..."

The dragon carp looked at Zhou Leng and started talking wildly.

"Can you understand what I'm saying? Or do you only partially understand it?"

The dragon carp nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Leng looked at it and felt it looked familiar... Then he remembered that this was how he and Da Huang communicated.

“I want to go to the Divine Vein River, it’s just a river…” Zhou Leng said, gesturing as he spoke.

The dragon carp looked at each other, one shook his head and the other waved his hand. The Grandmaster dragon carp grabbed Zhou Leng's hand and chattered loudly, puffing out his chest and raising his head, acting like a hospitable host.

Are you taking me somewhere else?

The dragon carp nodded.

"Better than the Divine River?"

"Coo coo chirp..." The dragon carp showed a disdainful look towards the Divine River.

Zhou Leng vaguely understood some possibilities.

With a sudden thought, he used divine script to say, "I have come here to pay homage to the great Star of Desperation."

The three dragon carp were stunned for a moment, then bowed their heads and stood up. Their eyes showed not only closeness but also respect.

"Have you ever heard of people using divine script?" Zhou Leng asked.

One shook his head, two nodded.

"Gugujiji..."

"You've heard of it, but never seen it?"

The three of them nodded in unison.

"That happened a long time ago?"

nod.

Zhou Leng recalled the matter of the Star of Despair and the Distant Mountain; they probably considered him to be someone related to the Star of Despair.

Zhou Leng felt relieved and walked with them.

The three dragon carp were very happy and talked loudly all the way.

Occasionally, other dragon carp would pass by, and when they shouted loudly, those dragon carp would immediately bow and gather around.

As they ran, they encountered more and more dragon carp people.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the foot of a very ordinary small hill. After walking halfway around the hill, they came to a cave entrance, where two dragon carp guarded the entrance.

Zhou Leng followed the dragon carp into the cave entrance and continued downwards.

As we walked, we gestured, asked questions, and guessed, and gradually learned some things.

The spirits of the dead were initially without wisdom, but gradually they gained it.

The dragon-carp people were relatively weak, so they gathered together to form tribes, which have continued to this day. Many powerful individual spirits, on the other hand, have gradually perished.

The Divine River is merely an ordinary power in the Land of the Dead.

The true essence is the sacred lake located underground.

Only those who obtain the divine lake can ascend to demigod status.

The Dragon Carp Tribe possesses three demigods, but to prevent other undead gods from seizing them, the three demigods have been guarding the sacred lake.

Zhou Leng felt a surge of anticipation.

The River of Divine Veins is very powerful; immersing oneself in it for a long time can grant one some divine power.

But once the river water carries it away, it loses all its benefits.

I wonder if the water from the sacred lake can be taken out.

After walking briskly for more than ten minutes, we arrived at an underground hall.

Many dragon-carp people inside stood up, looked at Zhou Leng, and muttered to themselves.

The dragon carp who brought Zhou Leng in shouted loudly, and the other dragon carp were both surprised and delighted, bowing to Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng scanned the dragon carp people. Most of them were only at the Innate level, and Grandmasters were a minority.

The group sat cross-legged on the ground chatting.

Some dragon-carp people held up many containers made of bone and leather and placed them in front of Zhou Leng.

There was dried meat, relatively fresh meat, broken bones with visible marrow, some fruit-like herbs and leaves, and some gemstone-like items.

Upon careful sensing, all the items exuded a powerful aura, with even the worst being equivalent to a primordial elixir.

Since the other party was so hospitable and generous, Zhou Leng first took out various foods, and then took out some beast meat of the Innate and Grandmaster levels.

Many dragon carp stared at Zhou Leng's magic pouch, but quickly looked away.

They ate the food Zhou Leng gave them, and Zhou Leng ate the food from the Dragon Carp People.

Most of the food contains deadly poisons, remnants of divine power, or destructive stellar energy.

However, the powerful body digested it without any side effects.

After a long while, an old dragon-carp-man walked in. He was not tall, and the edges of his fish scales were white, but his aura was extremely powerful, stronger than most of the demigods and martial saints that Zhou Leng had seen.

Everyone stood up, and Zhou Leng followed the posture of the other dragon carp people, tilting his head slightly to the right and then nodding in greeting.

The demigod dragon carp communicated with Zhou Leng through gestures and other means.

"who are you?"

"I come from the world of dragons, I hear the call of the great star of death, my blood is boiling..." Zhou Leng used a little trick from the Emerald Wings Survival Manual: artistic creation.

Every time Zhou Leng uttered the words "Star of Desperation" in divine script, some Dragon Carp people would gasp softly, especially the younger ones, whose eyes were filled with reverence.

"What's your purpose here?"

"I am searching for medicinal herbs to secure the throne of the true king, and also to save my friend, while simultaneously seeking materials for crafting weapons..."

Zhou Leng told him frankly.

After gesturing and exchanging gestures for a long time and getting to know each other, the demigod dragon carp nodded, invited Zhou Leng to sit down, and walked back through the passage he had used.

Before long, two dragon-carp figures emerged from the passage and invited Zhou Leng to enter.

Amidst the envious gazes of the dragon carp, Zhou Leng followed the two into the passage.

After walking for a while, they saw an even more spacious underground hall, with three demigod dragon carp standing in the middle.

Behind the demigod dragon carp, there was a bubbling, blood-red pool of water, about fifteen or sixteen meters in diameter.

The three demigod dragon carp gestured to Zhou Leng for a while, then made a gesture of invitation.

Zhou Leng thanked the three demigod dragon carp, chanting "Great Star of Desperation," and slowly walked forward.

Now, Zhou Leng has largely figured out the reasons.

It turns out that the dragon descended from the Star of Despair is still alive, but in another strange world, it can only come once in a very long time.

The original descendants of the Star of Despair can speak divine script, and some of the spirits of the dead regard them as messengers of the gods.

Later, the descendants of the Star of Despair lost the ability to speak divine script, and the spirits of the dead regarded them only as ordinary dragons.

The life of the dead comes from the residual divine power of the gods, so they have some instinctive powers.

For example, understanding some of the divine script is their instinct, but they cannot speak it.

The spirits of the dragon carp and other gods made an agreement with those messengers that all messengers of the gods could enter the divine lake for baptism and be bathed in the power of the gods.

Zhou Leng took off his coat, stretched out his leg, and slowly stepped into the sacred lake.

The divine lake is about four or five meters deep. Step into the center, close your eyes, and activate your martial arts perception.

It was icy cold at first, but after a while, it became like warm water.

The subtle, wispy power seeped into the body.

Zhou Leng was both surprised and delighted.

The good news is that it contains a very rich amount of stellar energy, which the solar shield can absorb and replenish.

Surprisingly, the power of the divine lake water is extremely complex, containing a large amount of toxicity and destructive star power.

While a few may not seem like much, too many can still cause damage to the body.

Therefore, he consumed the true energy of the starry sky, simultaneously circulating the Great Sun Divine Art and the Undying Star Body.

The Great Sun Divine Skill enhances power, primarily by increasing the total amount of true energy that can be contained in the starry sky and accelerating the transformation into a stellar body.

The immortal asteroid primarily enhances the body.

At the same time, the more than ten million star conch shells inside the space box emitted a faint glow.
