Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 743 Assassination
In the vast dragon's lair, the Dark Corner gazed at the Grandmaster Demon Dragon ahead, gave a soft snort, and ordered all its subordinates to leave.

Only the special envoy of "Black Flame Eternal," the lord of the fifteenth level of the Demon Prison, remained.

"Your Majesty, the Lord of the Dark Corner, the Great Blackflame Eternal Illumination has agreed to some of your conditions. He can only deal with the Bloodthirsty Tyrant with all his might, and cannot guarantee to kill him. Unless the Bloodthirsty Tyrant becomes too arrogant and enters the fifteenth level of the Demon Prison to challenge the Lord's authority," said the Demon Dragon Envoy.

"Then there's no need for that. Please leave." The Dark Corner said calmly.

He was a black dragon, a mid-level demigod, with a body length exceeding eighty meters.

The dragon envoy looked like a child in his presence.

The dragon envoy bowed slightly and said, "I understand your feelings, your dearest eldest son, second daughter, third son, fourth son, fifth daughter..."

"Enough!" the Dark Horn roared, unleashing a white sonic wave that sent the Demon Dragon Envoy flying through the air, crashing into the stone wall and falling to the ground with a clatter.

Fortunately, the Dark Corner wasn't going all out.

The dragon envoy felt helpless and thought to himself, "You have twelve children, all of whom were killed by the tyrannical blood. Go find him. What kind of demigod do you think you are, bullying me?"
But he came with a death order, and continued to swallow his anger, saying, "But His Majesty said that in the upcoming Trial of Ascending to Godhood, if there is an opportunity, he will join forces with several peak demigods and even lords to find an opportunity to surround and kill Tyrannical Blood, to avenge you."

"Would the great Black Flame Eternal Illumination truly be like this?"

"As you know, His Majesty's seventeen sons, eighteen daughters... and all twenty-seven of his children died at the hands of the Tyrant Blood. His Majesty's hatred for him was no less than yours. Back then, the Tyrant Blood was truly insane; in order to use dragon blood for cultivation, he created the Thousand Dragons Catastrophe..."

The dragon envoy stopped halfway through his sentence and shut up, not daring to continue.

After a long silence, the Dark Corner said, "I can't guarantee that I'll kill Zhou Leng. I can only guarantee that I'll act when I'm absolutely safe. All the dragons are watching him now. It's not something a wise dragon should do to kill him and bury me."

"Of course, you can launch a sneak attack after he leaves Longshan."

After discussing for a while, the dragon envoy left.

The corner of darkness gazed silently at the cave entrance, thinking of his twelve children, his eyes glistening with tears.

Suddenly, he received a message from the dragon priest, demanding that he go to the high altar immediately.

He dared not disobey the order, so he teleported to Dragon Mountain, entered the Great Altar, and descended into Dragon Pool.

He looked on in confusion. By the Dragon Pool, the dragon priest had dark circles under his eyes and his body swayed slightly.

"Come immediately and replenish the blood in the Dragon Pool, quick!" At the command of the Dragon Priest, Void Horn and several newly arrived demigod dragons hurriedly went to the edge of the Dragon Pool and began to bleed.

Looking towards the Dragon Pool from the shadowy corner, one could see a figure sitting in the pale red pool.

He naturally knew that Zhou Leng was here, but because he had a deep hatred for the Bloodthirsty Tyrant and had heard that Zhou Leng was on good terms with the Bloodthirsty Tyrant, he did not attend the banquet.

"Could it be that Zhou Leng is sitting inside?"

"Corner of Darkness, as soon as possible," the dragon priest said in a deep voice.

The Dark Corner, feeling guilty and fearing exposure, had no choice but to bleed along with the other demigod dragons.

Finally, when he felt dizzy and lightheaded, he stepped back, and other dragons took his place.

And so, the Dark Corner participated in two rounds of bloodletting, but after taking only a few steps, its whole body became sore and it had to stop and rest.

Two hours later, the soaking in the dragon pool finally ended.

Zhou Leng, his entire body flushed red, walked out of the Dragon Pool step by step. Dragon blood had formed a thick scab on his body, almost as thick as a fist, resembling a giant suit of armor.

Upon reaching the ground, his body trembled slightly, and the scabs covering his body shattered into a mist of blood that drifted away, revealing a slightly different Zhou Leng.

Tiny red cracks appeared all over his body, densely packed and crisscrossing, making it appear at first glance as if his skin had shattered into scales. In reality, it was because the power of the Dragon Pool was too great and had not been fully absorbed, thus condensing into a scar-like structure.

The dragons were overjoyed at the sight.

This is a sign that the dragon is about to transform!

If this continues, it's only a matter of time before Zhou Leng, the giant dragon, is defeated.

The Dark Corner looked at Zhou Leng, its eyes narrowing slightly.

What happened? We agreed to assassinate him, but before we could even do it, I bled myself out by half.

However, it doesn't matter. He is just a newly promoted demigod, while I am a mid-level demigod. There is still a chance, as we are two ranks apart.

He secretly observed that now was not the time to act, as a peak demigod dragon was watching them all along. Even if he killed Zhou Leng, he wouldn't be able to escape.

The dragon priest said, "Now we shall begin the next ceremony, the Ceremony for Youth..."

The Dark Corner immediately followed, joining the many dragons in witnessing Zhou Leng conduct one ritual and trial after another throughout the day.

The more he looked, the more uneasy he felt.

Zhou Leng received better treatment than he, a demigod dragon.

For the next day and night, Zhou Leng performed various rituals continuously.

Just as they were making up for Zhou Leng's regrets about his youth, the demigod dragons completed every ritual they could.

In the end, Zhou Leng got a bit of a sore throat from the tonic.

Unable to absorb the dragon's power, it spewed out pale red dragon flames.

The demigod dragons grinned from ear to ear. Yes, that's exactly how it is.

"Good, the more power you have within you, the greater your chances of successfully transforming into a dragon egg! Let's go to the Dragon Transformation Platform!"

The dragon priest and a host of demigod dragons surrounded Zhou Leng as they walked toward the Dragon Transformation Platform.

Zhou Leng asked, "I've heard that the Dragon Egg Transformation is the most important ritual for dragons after they advance to demigod status. How exactly should I perform this ritual?"

The dragon priest swayed his dragon tail happily as he said, "As you know, we dragons are merely a branch of the star dragons. Over countless billions of years, we have weakened and become increasingly distant from the bloodline of the stars. You are human, so you should understand."

Zhou Leng nodded. Throughout the history of Earth, very few organisms have continued to evolve. Most organisms have either degenerated or remained unchanged, but most of them have disappeared into the long river of history, and no one has paid attention to them.

"Therefore, our dragon race has been searching for ways to enhance our bloodline and power, until we discovered the Dragon Transformation Platform..."

"This must be a relic from some high-level dragon race. Any demigod dragon that enters it will be enveloped by a powerful force until the force reforms into a new eggshell..."

"After that, it will undergo the transformations of a higher-level dragon within the eggshell, and upon hatching, it will possess the true bloodline of a higher-level dragon. Of course, for you martial artists, this is the extraordinary body of a higher-level dragon bloodline..."

"If you're lucky, you might obtain some special Star Dragon bloodline. So, if you have any pills related to dragons, taking them together could very well grant you the strongest dragon bloodline in the Ten Realms."

"I see……"

Zhou Leng immediately checked the Starry Sky Bag.

I've dealt with quite a few demigods recently, and they were all big spenders with a lot of stuff. I haven't had time to organize it because of my cultivation, so this is a good opportunity to do so now.
