Supreme Dragon Martial Soul-Chapter 266: Sword Qi Thunder Sound, Dragon Energy Mutation!

Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Sword Qi Thunder Sound, Dragon Energy Mutation!

Releasing the Earth Rain Snake Soul Crystal, the illusion before him dissipated instantly.

"This thing is truly mysterious!"

Staring at the Earth Rain Snake Soul Crystal, Luo Cheng’s eyes burned with intensity.

The Martial Soul Essence within his body had already been refined almost completely!

Whether the True Dragon Technique could break through to the Ninth Level before the Outer Sect Competition now depended solely on this Soul Crystal!

After pondering for a moment, Luo Cheng put away the Earth Rain Snake Soul Crystal and did not rush to devour and refine it.

The frenzied cultivation of the past few days had placed a great burden on both his body and spirit, leaving him with an inexplicable sense of restlessness.

In this state, continuing cultivation would only yield half the results with twice the effort.

It might even waste this Earth Rain Snake Soul Crystal for nothing!

"Fine, I’ll meditate for two days to restore my essence, energy, and spirit to their peak states. During these two days, I can also consolidate my martial arts and my Sword Dao Realm!"

Whether devouring and refining this Earth Rain Snake Soul Crystal could help the True Dragon Technique break through to the Ninth Level and condense the True Dragon Power remained uncertain.

Luo Cheng did not want to bet everything on it.

Having broken through two realms in quick succession, it was difficult to advance to the Tongxuan Realm Third Layer in a short time. Luo Cheng decided to train in his martial arts!

Having grasped Human Sword Integration, he had begun to glimpse the essence of the fourth form of the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique, Thunder Sound! Mist Shadow Step also showed signs of a breakthrough.

If he could comprehend Thunder Sound from the Heavenly Fall Four Forms and achieve the Great Success Realm in Mist Shadow Step, even if the True Dragon Technique couldn’t break through to the Ninth Level, Luo Cheng was confident he could win first place in the Outer Sect Competition!

"Time to start training!"

After a brief rest, Luo Cheng drew the Flame Trace Sword and immediately delved into the comprehension of the fourth form of the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique.

A day passed.

In the Practice Field, Luo Cheng stood motionless, sword in hand, his eyes slightly closed. His entire being seemed like a weathered reef that had endured countless storms, unshakable no matter how fierce the winds or rain! Immersed in a state of profound clarity and serenity!

As the first rays of morning sunlight spilled into the Practice Field—

Clang!

The Flame Trace Sword let out a crisp and resonant hum as Luo Cheng opened his eyes. His sharp gaze locked onto the Training Post ten steps away.

Thrust, swing, slash!

The movements flowed seamlessly together!

The Flame Trace Sword descended silently, devoid of any worldly aura!

The next moment—

Crack!

A thunderclap roared!

What seemed like a light and effortless slash exploded at the last instant with an overwhelmingly terrifying force!

It was like a bolt of lightning slicing through a clear sky, striking with unparalleled sharpness and dominating all with its appearance, leaving an irresistible illusion of invincibility!

Screech!

The Training Post, with defenses rivaling a Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Peak Martial Artist, split silently down the middle, the cut surface smooth and flawless!

"It worked! What a powerful slash; this Heavenly Fall Sword Technique is truly extraordinary!"

Staring at the split Training Post, Luo Cheng’s eyes gleamed with awe.

With the Human Sword Integration Realm as his foundation, practicing the fourth form of the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique posed no obstacles for him; everything aligned naturally.

If the Third Form, Lightning Passage, was the epitome of sharpness—

Then the Fourth Form, Thunder Sound, added momentum to that sharpness, an air of profound Dao! One slash, and it was as though true thunder descended upon the world!

How could mere human strength resist the overwhelming force of heaven and earth?

Luo Cheng was confident that whether it was Ren Xiaoguang or Qi Guyun, both would suffer severe losses in the face of this strike if caught off guard!

"This Heavenly Fall Sword Technique is likely far more than just an Advanced Sword Technique! What a pity it’s merely an incomplete version!"

Luo Cheng resolved that if the chance arose in the future, he must retrieve the complete Heavenly Fall Sword Technique.

"Now, let’s test Mist Shadow Step!"

Sheathing his sword, Luo Cheng’s body flickered.

Instantly, the entire Practice Field was filled with shifting silhouettes, over thirty Essence Energy afterimages crisscrossing in a chaotic dance, dizzying to behold. Finally, they all converged at the split Training Post.

Bang!

The air trembled as a deep fist imprint appeared on the Training Post.

"Almost there! Just one more step, and Mist Shadow Step will reach Great Success!"

Examining the fist imprint, Luo Cheng nodded slightly.

At the Minor Success Realm, Mist Shadow Step allowed the creation of afterimages, following the user’s movements in perfect synchronicity!

At the Great Success Realm, Mist Shadow Step could create fifty Essence Energy afterimages in an instant, dazzling the opponent and catching them completely off guard! freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

At the Perfect Realm, it could instantly generate over a hundred Essence Energy afterimages!

Currently, Luo Cheng could produce over thirty Essence Energy afterimages, just a step away from fifty and reaching the Great Success Realm!

Focusing his mind, Luo Cheng consumed a few Essence Energy Pills and continued to train.

Time passed, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

"Split!"

In the Practice Field, Luo Cheng’s body flickered, and immediately, fifty afterimages burst out from him.

The overlapping afterimages darted in all directions without any discernible pattern. Their speed was so astonishing that it was impossible to differentiate the real body from the afterimages!

The next moment—

Bang! Bang!

Two deep fist imprints appeared on the Training Post as Luo Cheng’s figure re-emerged, nodding in satisfaction.

"Not bad. Mist Shadow Step at Great Success has increased my speed by at least thirty percent. The afterimages are also far more realistic, making sneak attacks even more unexpected!"

A smile appeared on Luo Cheng’s face.

Now, with his cultivation elevated to the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Peak, coupled with Mist Shadow Step at Great Success and the fourth form of the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique, Thunder Sound, his strength had soared exponentially!

Mist Shadow Step combined with the fourth form, Thunder Sound, could unleash their full potential. Together, they would give him a decisive edge, even against stronger opponents!

Unfortunately, there were no suitable opponents to spar with.

Otherwise, he could accurately gauge his current level of strength and determine where he stood among the top disciples!

Was he in the top three?

Or could he dominate all, sweep through everyone, and reign supreme in the Outer Sect!

Shaking his head, Luo Cheng dismissed these fanciful thoughts.

"My essence, energy, and spirit have recovered almost completely. It’s time to put you to good use!"

Taking a deep breath, Luo Cheng retrieved the Earth Rain Snake Soul Crystal.

This time, he was prepared. Focusing all his mental willpower, he was not lured by any illusions.

The Earth Rain Snake Soul Crystal seemed to detect danger, and the serpent-like figure within it emitted waves of intense energy!

This energy condensed into black clouds. Within the black clouds, lightning flickered, radiating an overbearing aura so strong Luo Cheng’s palm went numb.

Roar!

The Dragon Energy in Luo Cheng’s Dantian instantly stirred, roaring to the sky, coiling and surging, as if eager to leave the Dantian and devour the Soul Crystal!

"I hope you don’t disappoint me!"

With a glint of determination in his eyes, Luo Cheng sat cross-legged, activated the Nine-colored Scales, and started the devouring process.

Buzz!

An unexpected phenomenon occurred!

The moment the Nine-colored Scales came into contact with the energy of the Earth Rain Snake Soul Crystal, they vibrated intensely, and a Nine-colored Star Battle Vortex emerged!

The Nine-colored Star Battle Vortex expanded rapidly, enveloping Luo Cheng within moments.

Immediately after, the Zhengrong Dragon Energy from his Dantian merged into the vortex, leaping forth from his Dantian to open its massive maw and devour the Soul Crystal in one gulp.

The next instant—

Boom!

The Earth Rain Snake Soul Crystal exploded, transforming into pure Beast Soul Essence.

This Beast Soul Essence, upon contact with the Dragon Energy, transformed instantly, morphing into a coiling snake shadow that fused with the Dragon Energy!

Gradually, the flesh on the Dragon Energy’s head began to take form, and its once-transparent body now gleamed with a substantive aura, seemingly gaining tangible blood and flesh.

Simultaneously, Luo Cheng felt as if an explosion had occurred within his body. A torrent of violent, surging energy rampaged through him, causing the blood, flesh, and bones in his body to crackle and pop as his entire frame swelled by a fraction!

"What an overpowering aura!"

Luo Cheng was shocked to his very core.

It was only a Three-star Top Grade Soul Crystal, yet with his physique, he felt as though he was on the verge of being torn apart. Not daring to delay, he immediately circulated the All Heavens Dragon Control Technique with all his might!
