Chapter 227 - Undefeatable
This golden statue seems to be stronger than the previous one!
As soon as Zhong Yue fought with the second draconic golden statue, he felt that this golden statue possessed more power than the previous one, as it managed to use the five elemental power even more freely, flexibly, and faster, and it attacked in a stronger and more vigorous way.
It even managed to buff one of its elemental attacks by using the nature of the five elements to form five markings that enhanced its elemental attacks greatly!
For example, the draconic golden statue used the Water Element to promote the growth of Wood Element, creating more Fire Element with the Wood Element to enhance the power of Fire Element. Then with the Fire Element, the golden statue strengthened the Earth Element, which then augmented the power of the Gold Element, and it finally launched an attack with the Gold Elemental Marking. With the compounding support of the other four elemental powers behind it, the power of its Gold Elemental attack had increased to fivefold!
This applied not only to the Gold Element but also the other four elements; the defense of the Earth Element, firepower of the Fire Element, Healing of the Wood Element, Strength in the Water Element, all were five times stronger than before!
The draconic golden statue was also incredibly good at using its Dragon God’s Yuan Shen. It launched all sorts of powerful attacks towards Zhong Yue that were much more powerful than the previous golden statue.
After an hour of prolonged battle, this draconic golden statue shattered just like the previous one had, and a third draconic golden statue jumped down and raced towards Zhong Yue immediately. As expected, the power of this third draconic golden statue was much stronger than the second one.
Zhong Yue frowned and leapt into the air with his palms opened before he waved his arms downwards, forming and sending five mountains that slammed towards the draconic golden statue. While the mountains crushed towards the draconic golden statue, Zhong Yue looked at the Yuan Shen of the draconic golden statues and thought, The Innate Dragon God of the Lei Zhe Clan… This stage seems to be much harder than I thought. These draconic golden statues are all stronger than those before, and there are a total of a hundred draconic golden statues here. I’m afraid that the final draconic golden statue possess a very terrifying power! The difficulty is just too high to pass this stage, as I have to defeat all hundred of them! Could it be that the other dragon Qi Practitioners are all stronger than me?
Hou——
The draconic golden statue cast out its Yuan Shen and controlled the Dragon God Yuan Shen to attack Zhong Yue, while Zhong Yue summoned back his own Six-Eyed Star Toad Yuan Shen and fought with both the draconic golden statue and its Yuan Shen all by himself.
There are no dragon disciples in sight, so they must have passed this stage? If so, I can do it if they could! I guess I have to speed up my progress as there are hundred of statues here, and if I stall too long here, I’m afraid that the blessings of the Ancestral Dragon will be taken away by the other participants!
In just a short period after fighting with the golden statue, Zhong Yue realized that this golden statue did not have many moves. He immediately formed the Jiao Dragon totem carvings, wrapping his arms and legs with the power of the Jiao Dragons and crushed the golden statue to pieces.
Then, the fourth draconic golden statue jumped down. After another short period of fighting, Zhong Yue again shattered this statue with his Six-Eyed Star Toad Yuan Shen after he examined the power of the statue!
In the next round, he used his Three-Legged Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen to destroy the fifth draconic golden Yuan Shen.
---
As time passed, he had made it to the fiftieth golden statue. By now, the statues had became very dangerous, resulting in Zhong Yue having to fight with it with his full strength.
When he got to the eightieth golden statue, he managed to defeat the statue only after using both of his Three-Legged Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen and Six-Eyed Star Toad Yuan Shen simultaneously.
At the ninetieth statue, he started to use the four forms of his two Yuan Shens, the Great Sun, Bright Moon, Golden Crow, and Star Toad, and along with his own brute strength, he barely won the battle.
When he faced the final statue, he used all his tricks up in his sleeves; the【Great Boundless Sword Qi】, 【Sword Sixty-Four Styles】,【Monster God Ming King Art】 , and 【Soaring Dragon Hundred Forms】!
And even so, he still suffered heavy injuries!
In this battle, Zhong Yue fought very hard. At the end, he suffered extremely heavy injuries that left him on the brink of death, while the golden statue finally cracked and shattered after its energy was depleted.
The horrifying aura dispersed, and the other four wheels behind Zhong Yue started to spin again as he finally could use his their powers again.
The golden palace then trembled vigorously, and the golden statues returned to their perfect conditions while the wall in front of Zhong Yue opened up, exposing two doors standing behind the walls. These doors opened up and revealed a jade pool hidden behind the doors.
The jade pool was only eight feel long and wide, but it was shrouded with some kind of spiritual power. Suddenly, a dragon finger appeared from the void and floated on top of the pool with a drip of draconic blood at its tip.
“Only one drop of the Lei Zhe Ancestor Blood?”
Xin Huo jumped out from Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean and shouted, “So stingy! You should give us more!”
The dragon finger disappeared and a voice could be heard saying, “There is still some in the next level, I wouldn’t even have given you a drop if you failed at this level.”
Xin Huo then replied angrily, “You are way too stingy! I dare you to show yourself and let me see which old friend of mine is so stingy! Brat Yue, let’s laugh and mock him until he shows himself!”
Zhong Yue struggled and climbed towards the jade pool with his heavily injured body, and he rolled into the jade pool even as he had no more strength to walk. After a moment, he got up, panting heavily while the marvelous energy and vitality surged through his body, nourishing his Yuan Shen and mending his wounds completely.
Then, that drip of ancestor blood merged with the water in the jade pool. Together with the jade water, it seeped into Zhong Yue’s body and Zhong Yue immediately felt that the purity of the Fu Xi bloodline in his body was gradually increasing!
In just a split second, his wounds recovered and the ancestral blood started to trigger the ancient Fu Xi bloodline inside him. Zhong Yue felt the divine third eye in his forehead burning. It was reforming after being affected by the ancestor blood and the Fu Xi bloodline.
His divine third eye became more powerful and totem carvings that looked like the innate totem carvings of the Fu Xi Celestial Race emerged faintly inside it!
What a shame, only a drop of ancestral blood….
As the jade water depleted, the ancestral blood was absorbed by Zhong Yue completely. The growth of his divine third eye stopped, and he sighed in his heart.
At this point, he had never such power, and his five wheels became incredibly strong. They had all became extremely stable, while their strength increased drastically.
There are more benefits than just this, as I have reached the peak level in the five great secret realm at the very least!, Zhong Yue
thought, standing up after being replenished and healed by the jade water!
The jade pool then ascended, vanishing into thin air, while bright lights illuminated the way before Zhong Yue as a path leading straight to the outside of the palace appeared.
Zhong Yue then walked out of this golden palace. As soon as he stepped out of the doors, the doors closed shut immediately. Then, he looked in front of him and saw another golden palace labeled the “Wan Xiang Palace”!
Wan Xiang Palace? Could it be that this is a palace that tests our Wan Xiang Secret Realm? My Wan Xiang Secret Realm has yet to reach the peak level….
Zhong Yue’s eyes twitched as he breathed in deeply, and walked towards the palace.
In the palace, Zhong Yue looked around, and saw, one after another, more draconic golden statues standing at the sides of the palace. At the same time, he felt a horrifying aura emerging again that sealed off the power of his other four wheels, leaving only the Wan Xiang Wheel operating normally!
Does this need to be this difficult…
The eyes of Zhong Yue twitched again and he murmured, Is this how the other dragon disciples pass the tests, as well?
He was extremely shocked and showed a serious expression as he said after recollecting his thoughts, Seems like I have underestimated the people of the outside world, there are so many individuals no weaker than me! But if they could pass the test, then so can I!
Zhong Yue then walked one step forward and thought, Fine! Show me how amazing and dangerous the dragons’ Wan Xiang Secret Realm can be!
As if the statues could hear him, a draconic golden statue stood up, and a Wan Xiang Wheel formed behind its back.
The Wan Xiang Wheel of the statue was as big as Zhong Yue’s. It looked like the Ancestral Dragon wanted to test the capabilities of his descendants, which was why the statues were all on the same level as Zhong Yue.
The draconic statue jumped down and charged towards Zhong Yue!
“Are the dragons really stronger than me?”
Zhong Yue shouted as he pushed his Wan Xiang Secret Realm to its limits, and screamed, “I refuse to accept it!”
Boom!...
The draconic golden statue slammed into him and when they separated, the statue turned into a golden dragon with a long body that coiled around Zhong Yue, using its explosive power as it clawed at Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue then shouted and turned into a Xiang Dragon. The golden dragon and Xiang Dragon flew all over the palace, plunging towards their target with all sorts of ways and means in order to crush their opponent.
After a while, Zhong Yue learned all the moves of his enemy. Mimicking the techniques of the Wan Xiang Secret Realm used by the statue, he crushed it with the same moves it possessed.
He then fought with one after another of the golden statues, and just like previously, he won the battles after suffering heavy injuries that nearly cost him his life.
However, he also learned to control his Wan Xiang Secret Realm in a more efficient and flexible way after absorbing the experiences he had gained during the battles.
Then, another jade pool and the dragon finger appeared again. A drop of blood also appeared on the fingertip of the dragon finger, and it merged with Zhong Yue after he entered the jade pool.
I will not be any weaker than the dragons, for I am the descendant of Fuxi…. murmured Zhong Yue to himself.
After absorbing the jade water and the ancestral blood, Zhong Yue felt renewed again, and proceeded with the next stage.
At the same time, the many strong individuals among the dragons had already walked out of the fifth stage, which was the Dao Yi Palace.
Those who had managed to reach this point were all the best of the best in the Awakening level. There were a total of nine of them, including Jiao Qingtu.
The nine dragons looked at each other with strong battle intent and Jiao Qingtu suddenly said with a smile, “Dear senior martial brothers and senior martial sisters, how many golden statues did you all defeat along the way?”
“In the first palace, eighty of them.”
A dragon girl replied, “The second palace, eighty-four; the third, seventy-two; and the fourth was seventy-six. The fifth palace was a little bit too hard for me, as I barely passed the test by defeating sixty-two of them before I was defeated.”
“So it seems I was about even with Senior Martial Sister Ao Feifei.” said another dragon girl.
“I was about the same.”
A Po Clan’s disciple said, “We have to defeat only sixty of them to pass the test, and we will be bestowed with a jade pool and the Qi of the Ancestral Dragon after passing each test, so what is the point of defeating all hundred of them? Brother Qingtu, how many have you defeated?”
Jiao Qingtu laughed and said, “Over ninety of them at each level. I wanted to defeat all hundred of them, but sadly, I failed. I wonder what happens if someone defeats all hundred draconic golden statues in each of the golden palaces?”
“Defeating all hundred of them?” Everyone shook and agreed with a laugh, “To be able to defeat all hundred of them, one would have to possess the same level of power as the Innate Dragon God. Those who could pull off this kind of feat would have basically already awakened the ancestral blood; there would be little meaning in participating in the Ancestral Dragon Ritual for such people anyway.”
