Chapter 107 Lingming Xuanjing

As dawn broke, Ji Ming huddled deep in the dense forest, cultivating. An hour later, his aura suddenly fluctuated, and a celestial meridian on his spine flowed upwards, leading directly to his divine sea.

Finally, heaven and earth were connected, and this celestial vein was fully formed!

[Cultivation Method: Yin Yang Meridian Opening Technique, Level 11 (100%)]

[Life Strength: Level 24 (Jade Unearth Level 11)]

Breakthrough!

Taking this step truly felt like opening up a vast expanse of sky and sea, as if piercing through an invisible barrier; its significance went far beyond simply increasing one level of life strength.

Yes, improving one's strength is also very important.

The gap between level 25 and level 26 is even greater. Originally, he should only be able to reach the level 25 limit after breaking through his combat power once, but with the amplification of the sword path, the power of his sword technique can now barely reach level 26.

Crossing the life level challenge is extremely difficult. Even those warriors on the path to godhood can only fight against those of the same level. Their real advantage is that their life level is higher than their realm.

Ji Ming, however, possessed the strength of a level 26 at level 24, which was quite astonishing. He estimated that his current strength had entered the Star Realm.

The list won't just be at the bottom anymore.

Just as he was getting a little excited, the Crimson Flame Demon he had been watching finally made its move!

He hurriedly swallowed another drop of Xuan Turtle essence blood, activated his Turtle Breath, and stealthily crept over.

He is now like a stubborn rock that can be seen anywhere. Unless you can see him with your naked eye, even a fourth-level expert would have a hard time finding him by scanning with their divine sense.

Outside the mountain peak and the nest, Chi Mingkong slowly retreated, while the others formed a strange formation and rushed into the dragon's nest.

"roar!"

Before long, a roar came from inside the nest, and a huge energy wave swept out from it.

"boom!"

The array formed by the Crimson Flame Demons created a massive, blood-red axe tens of meters high. The violent shockwaves swept them out of their lair, but their formation remained intact, and all the damage was shared among them.

Then, a crimson figure rushed out of the nest. It resembled a dinosaur, with a crimson body and two wings on its back, which were fifteen meters wide when spread out!

"roar!"

The Crimson Dragon roared at the Crimson Flame Demon again, his eyes filled with anger. He was too lazy to pay attention to these people, but he didn't expect these ants to be so audacious as to provoke him.

"Demons, depart from my territory!"

The red dragon roared, its tone strange and its voice resounding, so that even Ji Ming, who was not far away, could hear it clearly.

"Hiss! Dragon language? How is that possible?"

Ji Ming was shocked. How could a hybrid dragon with such a thin bloodline be able to unlock the dragon bloodline inheritance?

Moreover, his intelligence is also off!

While it's true that as one's cultivation level increases in the original realm, the intelligence of these native races will also rise slightly, but it will never reach this level!

Is it because of the treasure inside?

Ji Ming glanced at the nest, hesitated for a moment, and looked at the two sides facing off on the mountain peak. "It's still too close. Let's wait a little longer!"

'

"Red Dragon, hand over the treasure, and we will retreat immediately. Otherwise, our clan's experts will arrive and crush you to death!" A demon leader shouted from beneath the blood-red giant axe.

"Don't try to fool me!"

The Crimson Dragon scoffed, "Do you think I don't know? Those who surpass the limits cannot enter this realm. I do not wish to provoke you, but do not force me!"

"Oh no!"

The demon leader's expression changed. This red dragon was truly intelligent, no less than an ordinary person, and knew more than they had imagined.

It seems things won't end well today!

The three leaders exchanged a resolute glance. "Then let's proceed according to our young master's plan!"

"Red Dragon, prepare to die!"

Together they wielded the giant axe, draining a large amount of life force, causing white hairs to appear on the heads of the weaker Crimson Flame Demons.

"court death!"

Seeing that they refused to listen to reason and were forced to drink the penalty cup, the red dragon could no longer suppress its anger and its huge dragon claws stirred up a gale to grab them.

How dare that insignificant demon, like an ant, covet his treasure? He deserves to die!

In order to possess this supreme treasure, he broke away from his clan. Fortunately, he broke through to the fourth rank; otherwise, he would have been devoured by some strange beast long ago.

The.

But he still harbors ambitions. If he can break through to the fifth rank, he can return to his ancestral land and take another step forward, possibly even breaking free from the limitations of this world!

boom!!

The crimson giant axe and the red dragon's claw collided in a spectacular fashion, causing the earth to shake violently. Rocks within a radius of a hundred meters were pulverized, and the aftershocks spread, breaking countless plants and trees.

"Bang! Thud!"

The Crimson Dragon was enraged and wanted to tear these demonic ants to shreds. The blood-red giant axe formed by the array was ultimately unable to withstand it and kept retreating. The Crimson Dragon was also getting further and further away from its lair.

"It's time!"

Seeing this, Chi Mingkong, who had been hiding in the distance, was overjoyed. Without further hesitation, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and fled into the Crimson Dragon's lair. He didn't have much time; the Crimson Dragon would surely react quickly. He had to achieve his goal before then.

He didn't care about the lives of his trusted confidants, but he had to get the treasure!

The cave was slightly dark and damp, and if you listened carefully, you could hear the tinkling sound of spring water.

Chi Mingkong quickly walked deeper into the lair. This red dragon was suspicious by nature and never trusted other members of its race, so there was no one else in the lair.

At the end of the cave, Chi Mingkong suddenly stopped. In front of him was a dim yellow pillar of energy, seemingly surging from the depths of the earth, carrying a heavy aura.

Chi Mingkong stared intently at the transparent crystal floating in the center of the pillar of energy. "Indeed, it's the Spirit Crystal!"

"It's actually a Spirit Crystal?!"

Ji Ming hid in the shadows of the cave, only a few meters away from Chi Mingkong, but the other party was completely unaware of him.

The Xuan Turtle Clan's unique talent for breathing is unparalleled in the myriad realms. Legend has it that the Xuan Turtle Ancestor went to the Heavenly Demon Clan's treasure vault and feasted for a month without being discovered. Only after he had eaten his fill did he leave a paw print, saying he would come back next time.

These are all jokes, but the power of the Turtle Breathing talent is indeed real.

Ji Ming stared intently at the transparent crystal within the dim yellow column of air, where streaks of emerald light darted back and forth. Just one glance was enough to clear his head considerably.

"No wonder this red dragon is so intelligent!" Ji Ming thought to himself.

The true effect of the Spirit Crystal is to permanently enhance comprehension. The Crimson Dragon did not know how to use this treasure at all. He only knew that by staying with the crystal, he would become smarter and smarter. He had thought about swallowing it, but he could not digest it.

Fortunately, he didn't understand, otherwise Ji Ming wouldn't have had a chance to come.

There are many treasures that can temporarily boost comprehension, but those that permanently enhance it are extremely rare. The Spirit Crystal is one such item.

It's a really good product; its value can't be described as mere merit!

"We absolutely must get our hands on it!"

Ji Ming yearned for it. The importance of comprehension in the later stages of cultivation was undeniable. Although he had sudden enlightenment, it came from his innate talent [Martial God's Blessing], which was only a Saint-level talent and had its limits. He was now invincible in comprehending these low-level martial arts, but what about in the future?

Ji Ming felt he had to plan ahead, and now was an excellent opportunity to improve his own comprehension.

But there was only one Crimson Flame Demon standing in his way!

He sensed Chi Mingkong's aura and was surprised. His life strength was level 26, but his cultivation level seemed to be below the third rank!

"A genius of the Crimson Flame Demon Clan?"

Ji Ming thought to himself that there was no surprise. There was no other way to break through the limits and enhance the strength of life than the path to godhood. The Xuanhuang Civilization alone had two other methods: the True Immortal Appearance and the Magical Ascension.

There are many limit-breaking techniques in the myriad realms, and the Crimson Flame Demon Clan, with gods presiding over them, naturally has no shortage of such resources.

But regardless of the method, the improvement rate on the path to godhood is the limit.

Below the third tier, the life strength of any race will not exceed level 26, and even consuming a divine medicine cannot break this limit.

Therefore, the Ascension to Godhood Technique is the true ultimate technique. There is no more powerful limit-breaking method in the myriad realms. The genius of the Crimson Flame Demon Clan in front of us is a true second-tier ultimate expert!

Ji Ming held his breath, searching for its flaws. The human race was not the strongest race in the myriad realms, so it was normal to encounter someone of the same realm but a higher level than himself. He just didn't expect to encounter it in the Crimson Dragon Origin Realm.

Just as Chi Mingkong was about to take the Lingming Xuanjing, Ji Ming swallowed a drop of Heavenly Demon Blood that he had been hiding between his teeth. His identity card was loaded, and three familiar characteristics flowed through his mind.

But at this moment, because the Xuan Turtle's identity card was removed, his aura was suddenly exposed.

"Who is it?!"

Chi Mingkong was shocked and hurriedly tried to turn around.

But Ji Ming didn't give him that chance. The moment he switched to his Heavenly Demon identity, he skillfully used all three of his traits.

The devil has arrived!

With the superposition of Stellar Transformation and the Arrival of the Bright King, Ji Ming's eyes were filled with darkness. An indescribable powerful force filled his limbs and bones, and his body almost swelled into a balloon, instantly transforming into a three-meter-tall size.

This was a power he had never experienced before. His bones and meridians were faintly groaning because this power was too strong and had slightly exceeded his control. If he had not mastered the Great Perfection Body Refining Martial Technique, he would have exploded into a bloody mist the moment the three amplification characteristics were used together!

Despite the pain in his body, Ji Ming shouted at Chi Mingkong in a strange tone, "Don't turn around, there's no one behind you!"

At the same time, his will surged forward, barely surpassing his opponent by a fraction. As the demonic power attacked, Chi Mingkong's aura suddenly weakened, dropping directly to level 25!

"Demon Might?!"

Chi Mingkong felt a void in his heart, a sense of powerlessness rising within him. He wanted to control his body to quickly dodge, but he was filled with shock and anger. How could there be a Heavenly Demon Clan here?

He wanted to turn back, but couldn't. And the thought kept running through his mind: It's okay, there's no one behind me, what's there to hide for? I should go get the Spirit Crystal right away!

"No! Damn it!"

Magical language!

Chi Mingkong was filled with fear. He had actually succeeded in activating the demonic language on the first try. Didn't the elders say that the probability of successfully using this bloodline talent was extremely low?

"Get out of here!"

Finally, Chi Mingkong broke free from the control of the demonic language, but as soon as he turned around, an endless beam of light formed a sun that filled his vision.

That heat is the stinging sensation of a blade's edge being born; that chill is the despair of death approaching!

"boom!"

The extreme heat of the sun completely enveloped him, and countless blades flashed and struck his body wildly. His entire world had become nothing but blades!

After a full half minute of continuous bombardment, the sun gradually died down, and Chi Mingkong, covered in blood, knelt on the ground, his hands twisted into bloody froth.

"I—I blocked it!" A look of relief at surviving the ordeal appeared in Chi Mingkong's eyes, but before he could rejoice, a fist pierced through his chest from behind, and the force it carried even shattered his entire lower body!

"I—cough!"

Chi Mingkong coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes instantly darkened, and his breathing became labored. He tried to turn around to look at the Heavenly Demon who had ambushed him, but the arm on his chest trembled, and his entire body exploded, leaving only his head sliding on the ground.

"call!"

Ji Ming shook the blood off his arm, looked at the blood all over the ground and sighed regretfully. What a pity, I wonder if we can still extract the essence blood.

Although it was a pity, he dared not hold back against such a prodigy of the Crimson Flame Demon Clan. He had to kill him with one blow, otherwise who knows what other trouble might arise.

After killing Chi Mingkong, Ji Ming quickly changed into the Xuan Turtle Clan identity card and used the Turtle Breath technique, which finally made him feel much more relaxed.

Using his identity as a member of the Heavenly Demon Clan was inevitable; otherwise, he might not have been able to defeat this level 26 Crimson Flame Demon prodigy.

Similarly, the Heavenly Demon Clan bloodline talents did not disappoint him. Using these three bloodline talents was equivalent to him gaining an additional top-tier Saint-level innate talent that was purely combat-oriented.

Before the Seventh Realm, only a very few humans could fight against the Heavenly Demons at the same level. Such a race, born for war, is simply too exaggerated.

It is strong, but at a great cost.

Having used only this much time, Ji Ming was now completely exhausted, his aura had dropped significantly, and the surge he had just experienced was too great, leaving him in a stinging pain all over his body.

Human anatomy is ultimately different from that of the Heavenly Demon Clan. Demonic power and demonic language are relatively easy to deal with, but the aftereffects of Demonic Descent are far too severe. The Heavenly Demon Clan's true form would never have such a strong reaction.

Ji Ming estimated that he would need at least two or three days to recover before he could use the Demon's Descent skill again.

This is still a characteristic that doesn't change the body much. If it were replaced with something like "True Dragon Transformation" or "Demon Transformation," Ji Ming felt that he might not be able to use it at all, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to achieve the original power.

Taking a breath, Ji Ming stopped thinking and reached out to scoop out the Spirit Crystal from the dim yellow pillar of energy. After happily putting it away, he glanced at the pillar of energy. This was also a treasure trove. Perhaps it could nurture a new Spirit Crystal in a few years.

Of course, this has nothing to do with him, but he can tell the academy's higher-ups or the base commander about this place when he gets back, which should also be a credit.

"roar!"

Just as he was pondering, a dragon's roar came from outside the cave. Ji Ming's expression changed. "Damn it, they're coming back!"

With a flick of his fingers, his source energy exploded, instantly burning Chi Mingkong's remains to ashes.

He then quickly collected the Crimson Crystal Armor that Chi Mingkong had shed after his death, as well as the storage equipment he carried, and then ran outside as fast as he could.

As for the essence blood, there's no time to refine it. This isn't the time to be greedy. A fourth-tier red dragon could blow it to death in one breath!

"roar!!"

As Ji Ming rushed out of the lair, a crimson dragon shadow was rapidly approaching. Its roar was filled with panic and rage, clearly indicating that it had realized it might have been tricked.

The wisdom enhanced by the Spirit Crystal can never match the cunning of humans and demons.

Behind him, a much smaller, blood-red giant axe was relentlessly pursuing him, trying to stop him from returning to his lair.

The red dragon seemed to have spotted Ji Ming at the entrance of its lair. It flapped its wings rapidly and opened its mouth wide to spew out a dragon breath, but it was too far away and dissipated into the air before it could hit Ji Ming.

Ji Ming glanced at it, swallowed a drop of new essence blood. This was the "Earth-Diving Rat," whose bloodline talent allowed it to move faster underground than on the ground. After switching identity cards, it burrowed underground and disappeared.

Once he was out of the Crimson Dragon's sensing range, he switched to Turtle Breath, making it difficult for the dragon to find him once he was out of its sight.

"Damn it!"

From afar, Red Dragon realized he had lost contact with the little thief and immediately flew into a rage.

The crimson demons within the formation became excited upon seeing this, believing that their young master had succeeded. Although they were all withered and on the verge of death, they worked even harder, trying to buy time for their young master's escape.

Finally, the two sides struggled back to the vicinity of the lair and entered the range of the Crimson Dragon's divine sense. He quickly scanned the area and found that his most precious treasure was indeed lost!

Moreover, the aura of the Crimson Flame Demon still lingers inside the lair!

"Ah! You deserve to die!"

The red dragon's eyes burned with intense hatred. How dare these ant-like demons scheme against him?

Without further hesitation, a trace of his bloodline evaporated, and he unleashed a secret technique from the incomplete inheritance he had obtained.

"The Nine Transformations of the True Dragon!"

The crimson dragon roared to the sky, and a divine light emerged from the depths of its body, enveloping it. A moment later, when it reappeared, its wings had vanished, its body had become slender, two small bumps had appeared on its forehead, and several dragon whiskers fluttered on either side of its cheeks.

"A real dragon? How is that possible?"

The Crimson Flame Demons cried out in alarm. Although they were still far from being pure-blooded true dragons, they did indeed have some characteristics of true dragons. Sweat instantly beaded on their foreheads. Although they were both at the early stage of the fourth rank, these so-called Crimson Dragon Clan and true dragons were not even in the same league!

"Die!"

The crimson dragon's eyes were filled with rage. He snorted and exhaled a breath of flame. The formation that had been impenetrable before collapsed instantly, and all the crimson flame demons inside were reduced to ashes.

He looked at the power of his casual strike with satisfaction, but at the same time felt a pang of regret, knowing that this state could not be maintained for long.

Before that—he needs to take revenge first, and maybe even snatch back his treasure!

Red Dragon looked into the distance, and based on his memory, he twisted his body and flew towards the base. Although he had lost his wings, his speed was far greater than before.

Terran Base Underground Chamber

The scene was playing on the celestial mirror. Zhao Wenlong glanced at his father and hesitated, "This crimson dragon—could it be heading towards the demon race's base?"

"Otherwise what?" General Zhao chuckled. "He's too far away, and he can't see Ji Ming clearly. In his eyes, the culprits are naturally all the Crimson Flame Demons."

"Wow! This junior is amazing!" Zhao Wenlong exclaimed, especially at his luck—everything was perfectly timed, as if even the heavens were on his side!

"This kid is being ridiculous!" General Zhao scolded, but his face was full of smiles.

Zhao Wenlong shook his head, knowing that his father liked people who could cause trouble the most, and his appreciation for Ji Ming had probably reached its peak.

However, Ji Ming's efforts were worthwhile. He had even managed to slay a level 26 Crimson Flame Demon. With such strength and such a rapid rate of progress, it's no wonder that the Military Lord was willing to damage the Celestial Mirror to ensure its safety.

"With this hybrid dragon unleashing the power of the True Dragon Nine Transformations, the Crimson Flame Demon Base will likely have a hard time resisting. Go and clean up their mess," General Zhao said calmly.

"clear!"

Zhao Wenlong chuckled to himself, overjoyed. This junior was truly a lucky star; after this, his credit should be more than enough.

Breaking through to the fourth rank and joining the Demon Suppression Guard will no longer be difficult!
