Another two years have passed, and the cloud sea of Nine Cloud Peak churns more violently than before.

This early morning, a dragon's roar that shook the heavens and earth suddenly erupted, with sound waves sweeping across the lands like raging tides, causing the cloud sea to boil fiercely.

Amidst the cloud sea, a massive crimson shadow abruptly emerged!

It was a Red Blood Flood Dragon fifty zhang long, with dragon scales forged like red gold, each reflecting blinding red light while the edges shimmered with a sinister black glow, marks left by years of body refinement through Gang Qi.

The Flood Dragon's four claws stretched out, each claw about a zhang long, the tips curved like blades, tearing through the clouds with flashes of lightning.

Its dragon whiskers were like scarlet whips dancing wildly in the wind, stirring the cloud sea into whirlpools wherever they swept.

Most astonishing were its eyes, with vertical pupils, and golden pupils swirling with magma-like crimson currents. Wherever it looked, the air crackled with burning sounds.

Enveloping the dragon's body was a mist of cloud and rain. The droplets that fell were not ordinary water droplets but pure Spirit Rain, nourishing the vast Spirit Plant fields below.

Occasionally, purple lightning leapt from the clouds, entwining the dragon horns. With a single breath from the Flood Dragon, it transformed into pure Thunderbolt Power, merging into its body, making its momentum increasingly grand.

"Roar——"

The Flood Dragon lifted its head and roared, with sound waves shooting straight to Jiuxiao, creating a massive hole in the clouds that exposed the clear blue sky beyond.

Its massive body thrashed about in the cloud sea, and as its dragon tail swept across, the gusts it stirred toppled the Spirit Fields on Nine Cloud Peak.

At this moment, the Red Blood Flood Dragon's body began retracting rapidly, its scales turning into streams of light merging into its body, and its dragon claws retracted into fingers. The fifty zhang dragon form finally condensed into the appearance of Chen Sheng.

He was clad in a red robe, with faint dragon scale patterns still visible on his bronze skin, slowly flowing with each breath. At the center of his brow, a speck of red-gold dragon pattern flickered intermittently.

"Body Refining Eighth Layer, finally accomplished."

Chen Sheng flexed his neck, and joints cracked with popping sounds. Each fist he clenched surged with a flood of power within.

A strength sufficient to tear Magical Treasures by hand, comparable to the full-force strike of a Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator.

His Body Cultivation aptitude was already far superior to Qi Refining, and over the years, he had piled resources upon it, with the Dragon Tempering Liquid alone, used for bathing, costing countless Tier Three Spiritual Materials like Dragon Blood Reishi.

The Bone Tempering Pills he often chewed, made primarily of five-hundred-year Vajra Fruits, each one valued at over a hundred pieces of Middle Grade Spirit Stones.

If not for Chen Sheng being a Tier Three High Grade Alchemist, capable of refining these Elixir Pills himself, how could he have sustained it?

Three months ago, upon reaching Body Refining Seventh Layer Perfection, Chen Sheng directly consumed five Tier Three High Grade Dragon Blood Pills to forcefully break through the bottleneck.

Chen Sheng looked at the lingering dragon scale shadow in his palm and nodded gently:

"Not bad!"

The Sea Overturning Flood Dragon Technique could only reach the Golden Core Early-stage, and its subsequent cultivation techniques had long been lost, difficult to find.

Several decades ago, Chen Sheng had completely abandoned it, turning to the Great Wilderness Dragon Transformation Chapter he found on the seventh floor of the Scripture Pavilion in the Three Elements Dao Sect.

This is an Ancient Technique, entirely written in tadpole script, recorded on a Profound Turtle Shell, divided into nine layers, reaching the late Nascent Soul.

Most marvelous is its ability to gradually purify the bloodline during cultivation!

The Flood Dragon foundation Chen Sheng cultivated earlier with the Sea Overturning Flood Dragon Technique became the cornerstone for switching disciplines. He adapted to the new cultivation technique's operation method within merely half a year.

Chen Sheng gently shook his head, sighing inwardly:

"The Great Wilderness Dragon Transformation Chapter is excellent in every way, except it's too costly on Spirit Stones."

Just for this breakthrough alone, he consumed over ten million Lower Grade Spirit Stones, not including the usual various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Fortunately, Chen Sheng's current alchemy business is thriving, and the dividends brought by the Three Elements Commerce Association are lucrative enough to sustain this kind of consumption for now.

His eyes flickered, and the divine techniques catalog recorded in the Great Wilderness Dragon Transformation Chapter emerged in his mind.

True Dragon Nine Transformations, True Dragon Sea Locking Skill, Withered and Flourishing Dragon Breath Curse... Each divine technique is incredibly powerful, encompassing ranges from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, quite comprehensive.

Among these, he had already begun practicing the True Dragon Nine Transformations, and having mastered the first three transformations, he could perfectly leverage his physical strength.

But the other divine techniques, he temporarily has no plans to touch—Sword Dao, Array Dao, Divine Sense, Fire Technique, the means he possesses are already quite ample; greed leads to inadequacy.

"But the Great Wilderness Heaven-tearing Hand has to be learned..."

Chen Sheng's heart stirred slightly, and the blueprint of this divine technique surfaced in his divine sense.

In the image, a golden dragon claws at the void, its claw tips entangled with subtle spatial ripples—a divine technique whose greatest allure for him is allowing a Golden Core Cultivator to grasp Void Power ahead of time.

Chen Sheng stared at the void before him, tracing a sword finger through the air, leaving a minute scar that exuded a violent aura:

"Void Power, originally the hallmark of a Nascent Soul True Monarch."

"If I can grasp a bit of it ahead of time, I'll have more confidence when facing a Nascent Soul Cultivator in future confrontations."

The most important point is that Chen Sheng has a bold conception—to combine Void Power with Array to arrange a Long-distance Teleportation Array.

The Three Elements Dao Sect possesses such an array, but each activation requires nearly ten thousand High Grade Spirit Stones, even the Three Elements Commerce Association can't afford it—it's used only for teleporting significant figures or essential resources.

Chen Sheng, on the other hand, intends to set up a small-scale teleportation array himself, connecting Chu Country and Yue Country, preparing for the next life.

"First, master the Great Wilderness Heaven-tearing Hand."

...

Another year passed, and the cloud sea mid-air above Nine Cloud Peak was shredded into tatters by Sword Qi.

Three thousand sword lights wove into a silver net in the void, each line of sword light engraved with Beidou Runes, binding a fifty zhang long Red Blood Flood Dragon firmly.
