Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 398: Power Surges! Mastering the Array!

Two dragon shadows were now incredibly clear on the Extreme Dao Ten Thousand Dragons Diagram. One was the Cyan Dragon Soul, and the second was the Candle Dragon Soul he had just summoned. Lin Xuan had finally succeeded. Upon summoning the second Dragon Soul, his Soul Power broke through directly, reaching the second level.

With this breakthrough, Lin Xuan’s perception of the world became much clearer. A soul breakthrough brought many benefits. First, his perception was heightened. Second, his Alchemy skills and cultivation speed would both improve dramatically.

Aside from the soul enhancement, summoning a second Dragon Soul brought other advantages. For example, Lin Xuan could now fight across seven realms of cultivation. Previously, he could only fight across six, which seemed to be his absolute limit. No matter how he improved, he could never breach that barrier. But now, having summoned the second Dragon Soul, that limit had been shattered. He could fight across seven realms. This meant that as an eight-star Martial General, his strength was no longer equivalent to a three-star Grandmaster, but a four-star one.

If anyone else were to learn of this, they would be scared to death. Fighting across six realms was already considered heaven-defying, but fighting across seven was simply unheard of!

The second benefit was his ability to absorb a second Anomalous Fire. Each type of Anomalous Fire was terrifyingly powerful and domineering. Even a gifted Alchemy genius with extraordinary luck could only ever absorb one. Yet, Lin Xuan could now absorb a second.

The third benefit was that the limits of his Myriad Dragon Physique had also been broken. He could now cultivate its second layer. Cultivating the second layer meant he could cover his body in two stacked layers of Dragon Scales. Once he did, both his Physique and his defensive power would be several times greater than before.

Finally, Lin Xuan had gained complete mastery over the Dragon Vein’s Array. He was the master here, able to freely mobilize the Dragon Vein’s power to attack any enemy. Within this Dragon Vein, even a King would be suppressed by him.

Faced with so many benefits, Lin Xuan was ecstatic.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Xuan retracted the Extreme Dao Ten Thousand Dragons Diagram. With another gesture, he prompted the nearby Snake King to shrink. The Snake King now regarded Lin Xuan with even greater reverence. Lin Xuan’s body carried the aura of the Candle Dragon Soul—the aura of its ancestor. To the Snake King, Lin Xuan was now akin to its forefather, and it dared not harbor any thought of resistance. Its figure flickered, and it transformed into a miniature snake.

Lin Xuan put the miniature Snake King away and prepared to leave. He planned to head to Flame Mountain to absorb the Green Lotus Heart Fire next. With a second Anomalous Fire, his combat and Alchemy abilities would improve significantly. As he was contemplating this, a thunderous roar echoed from outside. Lin Xuan froze. Someone’s attacking the Array? Who could it be? He quickened his pace, heading out to investigate.

「Outside.」

The Hidden Moon Commander had already led his forces from the Hidden Moon Country into the Dragon Vein. They planned to shatter the Array and seize control of the valuable resource. However, upon arriving, they discovered things were not as they expected. They had assumed that since Moon Fairy had succeeded, they would be able to break the Array with ease. But when they actually took action, they found the Array was as formidable as ever. It showed no signs of damage, no matter how hard they attacked.

A General spoke up, "Commander, why do I feel like the Array hasn’t changed at all? Did we really win?"

Yes, the other experts were equally bewildered. The Hidden Moon Commander turned to General Fuyun and asked, "What’s going on?"

General Fuyun was also baffled. "I don’t know," he admitted. "However, that Moon Fairy definitely succeeded and came out from inside. The fact that she could enter and exit means she must have broken the Array."

The Hidden Moon Commander nodded. "Everyone, do not doubt her. Continue the assault," he ordered. "I believe it won’t be long before we can smash it open."

The others didn’t know Moon Fairy’s background, but the Hidden Moon Commander did. She hailed from the Yin Yang Sacred Land, and the Hidden Moon Country was one of its subordinate nations. Therefore, Moon Fairy’s victory was their victory. She must have helped weaken the Array before she left. As long as they kept attacking, they would soon break through.

「On the other side,」

General Blue Tiger asked, "Dragon Commander, what should we do? We can’t just stand by and watch them seize the Dragon Vein!"

The Dragon Commander took a deep breath. "Stop them," he commanded, leading his men to charge forward. However, due to Lin Xuan’s supposed defeat, the legion had suffered a devastating blow to their morale, which had now hit rock bottom. Their strength was greatly diminished, and the entire army could barely exert half of its power.

Seeing their state, the Hidden Moon Commander sneered. "You want to stop us looking like that? How ridiculous! Scram, or we’ll annihilate your entire army."

"Exactly," General Fuyun chimed in with a cold laugh. "I advise your legion to surrender now. Kneel before our Hidden Moon Country, and we might be merciful enough to spare your lives."

"Damn you! What did you say?" General Blue Tiger roared.

The Flying Dragon General’s eyes turned crimson. "We’ll fight you to the death!"

They were about to make their move when the Array suddenly let out a deafening roar. A shimmering passage materialized within it. Seeing this, General Fuyun became ecstatic. "Hahaha, it’s open! The Array is open!"

The Hidden Moon Commander roared with laughter. "Fight us? Do you even have the chance? We’ll control the Dragon Vein in moments! With its power, killing your Long Ming legion will be effortless. It’s too late for you to run now."

Not good! The Dragon Commander’s expression changed dramatically. He waved his hand and shouted, "Retreat! Everyone, retreat quickly!" Lin Xuan was already defeated, already dead. He couldn’t allow the legion’s other experts to die here as well. He had to lead them away immediately.

"Trying to leave now? It’s too late," the Hidden Moon Commander sneered, striding toward the passage. Just then, a figure emerged from within the Array’s channel.

"Who are you?" The Hidden Moon Commander froze, stunned at the sight of this person.

He wasn’t the only one; the other experts from the Hidden Moon Country were equally shocked. How could there be someone else inside the Array?

"It’s that kid!" General Fuyun’s eyes widened in disbelief. "It’s that guy from the Long Ming legion! How can he still be alive? Wasn’t he killed by Moon Fairy?"

He was utterly shocked to see Lin Xuan was still alive.

"It’s Lin Xuan!" the Wangyue Pavilion Master exclaimed, being the first to turn and see.

"What? Lin Xuan’s alive?" the Blue Mountain Dragon General also turned, and when he saw Lin Xuan, he was moved to tears.

The Dragon Commander, General Blue Tiger, and the others all whipped their heads around. Sure enough, standing within the Array was Lin Xuan himself.

He was alive! This was wonderful news!

At that moment, the entire Long Ming legion erupted in cheers. Although their ultimate plan had failed, Lin Xuan had survived. It wasn’t a total loss. Lin Xuan was a peerless genius, the star of Great Xia! As long as he was alive, they would have a chance to make a comeback in the future!

Thinking this, the Dragon Commander and his men rushed over to Lin Xuan’s side. "Let’s go," the Dragon Commander urged, grabbing Lin Xuan to leave.

Lin Xuan was bewildered. "Dragon Commander, why are we leaving?" he asked. "The Dragon Vein is mine now. I can mobilize its power to kill them all. The Hidden Moon Country are the ones who should be running."

What? The Dragon Commander stared, dumbfounded.

The soldiers of the Hidden Moon Country, however, burst into laughter. "Wow, this kid really knows how to talk big, doesn’t he?"

General Fuyun just rolled his eyes. The Dragon Vein belongs to you? You’re going to use it to kill us? In your dreams! He’s bragging to the high heavens!
