Chapter 1456: Chapter 1458: Dragon Emperor’s Dominating Art Chapter 1456: Chapter 1458: Dragon Emperor’s Dominating Art The Panlong Yutian Array was broken, the last line of defense guarding the Dragon Palace Treasure collapsed, and all the great demons laughed wildly as they charged forward. At this mont, Song Jian was running forward while opening his skill panel to check his abilities.
Xin Ling seed to have lost the mories after entering the stone house, but Song Jian rembered everything vividly. And the insights on the ditation mat, the sense of the Tao, still lingered in his heart. Almost all his skills in the skill panel had improved by two or three levels, even the hardest to increase, the innate ability “Holy Sword,” had gained two levels. Besides adding nearly fifty attribute points, the probability of triggering the “Indestructible” effect had also slightly increased.
Other skills, such as Sword Shadow Clone and Sword Control Skill, had reached the maximum level of 12, with further enhanced effects. The Karmic Fire Red Lotus Ten Thousand Swords Art was elevated to level 18, with the number of summoned Spirit Swords increasing to 500–2000. Level 18 was still not the limit for the Thousand Swords Art—it seed that, true to its na, at full level it could summon ten thousand Spirit Swords.
However, Song Jian vaguely felt that summoning ten thousand Spirit Swords was not the ultimate state of the Thousand Swords Art and that it could be further improved. But this feeling was nebulous, as if gleaned from the ditation mat, yet the specifics would only be apparent after leveling the skill to its maximum.
“Eh, why is my Moon Essence Wheel skill missing?” Song Jian reviewed his skill panel from top to bottom. Most skills had improved, but the Moon Essence Wheel had vanished from the panel.
Song Jian hurriedly went through the system ssage log and discovered that when the Thousand Swords Art upgraded to level sixteen, it had actually devoured the Moon Essence Wheel skill, which left him feeling speechless.
The enhancent of the Thousand Swords Art had devoured many of Song Jian’s skills; previous abilities like the Ten Thousand Facets Sword Technique and Sword Finger had been absorbed to increase its power. He had not expected it to now devour the Moon Essence Wheel—a non-sword technique—which made Song Jian feel sowhat helpless.
“Forget it, Moon Essence Wheel was quite powerful in close combat, but my current attack style has shifted towards long-range. There aren’t many opportunities to use Moon Essence Wheel anyway, so let it be devoured,” Song Jian thought to himself.
This enlightennt had saved Song Jian at least a dozen skill points, but most importantly, it saved him a lot of ti practicing skills. Now, Song Jian’s strength had increased by more than a third compared to before. Just the nearly fifty attribute points gained from increasing his innate ability Holy Sword made him feel like he had struck gold, akin to passing a B-grade combat power assessnt and receiving a reward.
Boom~
The shattering of the Panlong Yutian Array also reached Song Jian’s ears, making him tense up.
“We need to speed up. The defensive array has been breached, and those great demons have already rushed in!” Song Jian said in a low voice.
“No worries—don’t forget the traps in the passage behind us. Hmph, unless they leave behind a dozen lives or so, they won’t be able to break through, not unless they also possess the bloodline of the Dragon Clan’s direct lineage!” Xin Ling retorted with a cold snort.
Song Jian smiled slightly without saying a word, and the two hurried forward. Soon, a wall appeared at the end of the passage.
The wall was engraved with an azure dragon that looked lifelike, its dragon eyes filled with murderous intent as if it was about to leap off the wall and devour them both.
“The Dragon Controlling Wall! Behind it must be the real Dragon Palace Treasure!” Song Jian said softly. After passing through the stone house, all information about the Dragon Palace Treasure seed to naturally erge in his mind. He had never seen the Dragon Controlling Wall before, yet it felt incredibly familiar.
The last trace of Ao Tian’s fresh blood in his hand was absorbed by the Dragon Controlling Wall, which imdiately beca ethereal. Song Jian pulled Xin Ling and rushed forward, directly passing through the Dragon Controlling Wall and entering into a strange space.
This space was several dozen feet in size, with a milky white fountain in the center that rose high above the ground, gushing continuously, forming a pond that spanned several ters around and was unfathomably deep. The surging spiritual energy rged into the fountain water, which was like milk—rich in spiritual energy and extraordinarily viscous. If one were to cultivate here, the speed of cultivation might be ten or even a hundred tis faster than the outside world!
Around the fountain was a field of herbs, with several rare flowers and plants emitting a rich fragrance.
“Beneath the spring lies a spirit vein, which, after years of nurturing by Dragon Qi, has transford into the most superior dragon vein. This dragon vein alone is not much less valuable than the Dragon Emperor’s Arrogant Sky Secret!” Song Jian shook his head and sighed.
For so sects, the value of this dragon vein even surpassed that of the Dragon Emperor’s Arrogant Sky Secret. It is sufficient for a third-rate faction to rise to a first-rate sect within a re ten years. Should they gain more opportunities and accumulate so heritage, they could completely beco a super-large sect!
“All the herbs around this spirit spring are top-grade spiritual dicine, I wonder who will eventually benefit from these!” Xin Ling said, her eyes shining with excitent.
Although they were unable to take any of these items, it didn’t stop them from feasting their eyes on such treasures, which were usually hard to co by.
“How did you… How did you get in here?” From a distance, Ao Tian looked at Song Jian and Xin Ling standing in front of the Dragon Controlling Wall with shock on his face. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, hardly believing they could appear here.
It was known that many checkpoints along the way required the pure bloodline of the Dragon Clan, and even if dozens of legendary realm great demons attempted to enter, they wouldn’t be able to do so without one or two hours. Moreover, there were many traps specifically designed for intruders along the way, so even legendary realm powerhouses couldn’t break in unscathed.
“It’s impossible for those legendary realm great demons to break in at this ti. So how did these two humans with third-order combat power manage it!” Ao Tian’s body trembled slightly, his face filled with disbelief.
Song Jian’s gaze, however, fell on the object in Ao Tian’s hand — a treasure pearl emitting a seven-colored glow, which he held within his palm. One could feel wisps of domineering energy filled with the Dragon Clan’s aura being transferred from the pearl to Ao Tian.
“Oh, have you obtained the Dragon Emperor Treasure Pearl?” Song Jian said with a smile, slowly advancing, “Our previous agreent, shouldn’t we honor it? As far as I know, when absorbing the energy of the Dragon Emperor Treasure Pearl, you can’t be disturbed by the outside world, otherwise… Well, hehe…”
Ao Tian’s face turned ugly, he pointed to a bookshelf nearby and said, “The Dragon Emperor’s Arrogant Sky Secret you’re looking for is on the first level. These are techniques collected by our Dragon Clan. If you see any other techniques that interest you, feel free to copy one as well!”
“How generous, hahaha!” Song Jian laughed heartily as he and Xin Ling stepped forward to browse through the various cultivation techniques on the bookshelf.
Ao Tian watched their actions, grinding his teeth in frustration but unable to do anything. These techniques, painstakingly gathered by the Dragon Clan, were all top-notch thods, all of at least epic quality or higher. Any single one of them being taken out could lead to a bloody scramble for possession.
“The Dragon Emperor’s Arrogant Sky Secret!”
Song Jian picked up the ancient manual placed at the very top. The scroll was made of special materials, neither gold nor copper, neither paper nor bamboo, and even felt slightly warm to the touch.
After a cursory glance, a hint of regret flashed in Song Jian’s eyes as a system notification indicated that the skill scroll was unusable by the Human Race.
Just then, Kamata requested to leave the Pet Space, and upon Song Jian’s approval, Kamata appeared beside him, snatching the ancient manual and bursting into laughter: “I can learn it, I can learn it!”
As he spoke, Kamata pressed his hand onto the ancient manual, and imdiately a purple-golden light blood, transforming into a stream of light that entered Kamata’s forehead. The ancient manual of the Dragon Emperor’s Dominating Art, as if eroded by endless years, faded in brilliance and beca brittle and crumbly, a scent of decay emanating from the scroll.
