Supreme Dragon Martial Soul-Chapter 226: True Dragon Technique Eighth Level!

Hearing Gao Yuan’s words, Yuan Zhilan and Gu Lingfeng exchanged glances, speechless.

It wasn’t just Gao Yuan who couldn’t understand.

They, who had known Luo Cheng for so long, were even more baffled.

Neither Luo Cheng’s growth speed nor his strength was something they could comprehend, leaving them feeling deeply powerless.

In fact, they had even begun to gradually get used to this feeling.

Luo Cheng ignored Gao Yuan and turned to walk toward the Xuan Yi Residence.

Having acquired nearly two thousand Essence Energy Pills, he couldn’t wait to cultivate the ninth Essence Energy Vortex to Perfection!

Chen Lingyu and the other two followed him.

Chen Lingyu asked, "Junior Brother, what are your plans next?"

Luo Cheng replied, "I plan to cultivate for two days, then make a trip to Linjiang City to buy some Spiritual Medicine to prepare for breaking through to the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer."

Hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Chen Lingyu’s eyes.

For ordinary people, cultivating from the Late Stage of the Tongxuan Realm First Layer to the Second Layer would take at least a month or two, or even three or four months before they could succeed.

But in Luo Cheng’s words, this matter was as effortless as eating or drinking!

Calming her emotions, Chen Lingyu said:

"Each layer of the Tongxuan Realm has a different focus for cultivation. The First Layer opens the Essence Energy Mansion for Qi Refinement, the Second Layer unlocks the Heart Life Gate for Blood Strengthening, and the Third Layer opens the Divine Power Heavenly Gate for Nourish Spirit! Respectively, these involve cultivating Essence Energy, strengthening vitality, and nourishing the spirit!"

"When the time comes, you can buy more Spiritual Medicine that enhances vitality. This will significantly accelerate your cultivation after breaking through to the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer."

"Thank you for the guidance, Senior Sister," Luo Cheng nodded.

The Xuanyuan Record also described the three layers of the Tongxuan Realm, but not in such detail.

Arriving at Xuan Yi Residence, the four of them parted ways.

With the Outer Sect Competition approaching, everyone wanted to give it their best in this last month.

Returning to the Practice Field, Luo Cheng exhaled heavily and took out the 1,900 Essence Energy Pills from his possession.

"It’s like having a pillow delivered when you’re drowsy! It’s time to perfect the nine Essence Energy Vortices!"

Luo Cheng had originally thought he would have to go to Linjiang City, sell off the rare treasures and Star-level Treasures in his possession, and only then purchase enough Essence Energy Pills to perfect the nine vortices.

But now, there was no need.

He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began cultivating with full force.

Buzz!

A Nine-colored Mysterious Light shone brightly as a Nine-colored Mysterious Egg emerged behind Luo Cheng, spinning rapidly. It emanated a powerful suction force, continuously absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Energy and the pure medicinal energy of the Essence Energy Pills!

Time flowed like water.

Breaking through the ninth Essence Energy Vortex to Perfection was more challenging than any before.

One day and one night passed, bringing forth the second morning.

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderous explosion erupted from within Luo Cheng’s body, accompanied by waves of illusory dragon roars echoing around.

In an instant, a terrifying surge of Essence Energy burst forth like a tide, violently surging outward!

The array barriers surrounding the Practice Field rippled dramatically!

"The nine Essence Energy Vortices are perfected! What an incredible feeling!"

Every time an Essence Energy Vortex was perfected, Luo Cheng could feel his strength improving.

But none of the previous breakthroughs compared to this one!

This wasn’t mere progress—it was a transformation!

"Let’s see what’s going on..."

Muttering to himself, Luo Cheng directed his consciousness toward his Dantian.

Within his Dantian, the nine star-cloud-like Essence Energy Vortices spun rapidly, their interactions generating immense momentum. Both the quality and quantity of Essence Energy had ascended to a new level!

In addition, at the center of each Essence Energy Vortex stood a spiral light column, about the height of a finger!

The spiral light columns emitted a Nine-colored Radiance, dazzling and flawless, profoundly mystical.

Seeing this scene with his mind’s eye, a delighted expression appeared on Luo Cheng’s face.

The spiral light columns were the Essence Energy Spiritual Light!

Once the Essence Energy Spiritual Light broke through the Heart Life Gate, it would connect to the heart like blood vessels—inseparable!

At that time, a Martial Artist could use Essence Energy to strengthen vitality, and vitality to nurture Essence Energy. The fusion of body and energy would transform their physique, extending their lifespan to two hundred years!

Additionally, they could release Essence Energy outward to kill enemies from a distance, greatly amplifying their strength!!

"Excellent! With the emergence of the Essence Energy Spiritual Light, I’ve now truly reached the Peak of the Tongxuan Realm First Layer! So long as I have enough Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Pills, breaking through to the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer is within reach!"

Anticipation glimmered in Luo Cheng’s eyes.

Soon, his gaze shifted, and he held a walnut-sized rhombus crystal stone in his hand.

Within the rhombus crystal stone, shrouded in black mist, a phantom-like Demon Wolf with a single horn and three stars faintly revealed itself!

"A Three-star Soul Crystal—this should allow my True Dragon Technique to break through to the Eighth Level!"

Luo Cheng had originally planned to wait until his return from Linjiang City to absorb the Soul Crystal.

But after his battle with Gao Yuan, he changed his mind.

He had now offended everyone in the Crown Prince Hall, and those who wanted him dead were plentiful!

Any boost to his strength would provide extra security—it was always better to be prepared!

Taking a deep breath, Luo Cheng summoned his Martial Soul. The Nine-colored Scale emerged in his palm, and he began the absorption process.

"Hmm?"

The moment he started the absorption, Luo Cheng immediately noticed something unusual.

The process was far smoother than ever before, as if the Nine-colored Scale had merged with his consciousness, indistinguishable from himself.

"Could this be due to my cultivation growth? No matter, I’ll focus on cultivating first!"

Without delving deeper, Luo Cheng continued his cultivation.

Roar!

Sensing the threat, the Beast Soul of the Demon Wolf within the Three-star Soul Crystal erupted with an astonishingly ferocious aura, letting out a wild howl toward the sky.

Yet, it stood no chance against the devouring power of the Nine-colored Scale!

As the Nine-colored Mysterious Light completely enveloped the Soul Crystal, strands of black mist-like essence surged out rapidly, resembling ribbons.

This black mist was the Beast Soul Essence of the Demon Wolf!

Luo Cheng didn’t dare to be careless and exerted his full effort to absorb it.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and eventually, the black mist within the Soul Crystal dissipated completely!

With a crisp crack, the crystal stone disintegrated into fine powder, scattering in the wind.

Sitting cross-legged, Luo Cheng remained as still as a boulder, with faint strands of black mist lingering on his face.

After some time had passed—

Awhoo!

A resonant dragon roar exploded from within Luo Cheng!

Countless ancient airstreams surged out from his Martial Soul, transforming into dragon shapes that darted chaotically through the void!

The Essence Energy barriers around the Practice Field ballooned violently under the impact of the dragon-like flows, as if ready to burst at any moment!

The next instant—

Buzz!

Countless dragon shadows returned, merging into Luo Cheng’s body.

When all became calm, Luo Cheng opened his eyes. Their shimmering brilliance resembled bolts of lightning tearing through the void!

"True Dragon Technique, Eighth Level!"

Confidence and satisfaction graced Luo Cheng’s face.

Before refining the Soul Crystal, he had only been fifty to sixty percent confident about breaking through the Eighth Level of the True Dragon Technique.

But the results far exceeded his expectations—the effect of absorbing the Three-star Soul Crystal was better than he had imagined.

The True Dragon Technique effortlessly reached the Eighth Level, without any hindrance.

Now, the Dragon Energy within Luo Cheng’s Dantian had undergone a complete metamorphosis.

The Dragon Energy soared through his Dantian, its scales glimmering like stars, exuding an imposing majesty. Its eyes were like torches, piercing through the void, its aura overwhelming, inspiring reverence from heaven and earth alike, as if a true dragon free to roam the realms, commanding submission from all creatures!
