’Just as I thought...’
Even though Zou Feng had mastered the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill to perfection, it hadn’t produced any specific moves or fighting techniques.
It was as if this Skill was purely for conditioning the body, sothing like Qi Refining and Qi Cultivation.
Normal Martial Arts Skills, even a Heart Skill like the Black Tortoise Sea-Suppressing Force, would produce direct thods of attack—like the ability Zou Feng often used, "Love That Can Stretch and Contract at Will."
"This skill cos from the Eastern Land. I look forward to traveling to the Eastern Land with you in the future to cultivate the Great Dao together!" After speaking, Gongsun Jinghong’s Dragon Robe billowed up, quickly enveloping Zou Feng.
The two of them stood on the Throne, wrapped together inside the Dragon Robe.
Although they were already beginning, Zou Feng couldn’t help but ask, "Since the Eastern Land is the only path forward after reaching First Grade, why are there still First Grade masters who are unwilling to go?"
Gongsun Jinghong chuckled lightly. "First, the journey is perilous. Safely crossing the Fallen Immortal Sea is no easy feat."
"Second is the change in status. In Great Yan, we can practically do as we please. But in the Eastern Land, heheh..."
’It’s just like in the novels from my past life. After Ascension, you beco a nobody. You might even get captured and forced to work in the mines right at the start.’
’But there’s no choice. The allure of long life is too great. Especially when there’s a clear opportunity, you can’t just stay in Great Yan and wait to die of old age, can you?’
’From this perspective, Su Qingyu’s insistence on having an ultimate showdown with Gongsun Xiang might be because she wants to find an opportunity to break through to a higher Realm.’
’If she can surpass First Grade while still in Great Yan, then the dangers of the Fallen Immortal Sea and the potential hardships in the Eastern Land would all be easily solved.’
’But surpassing First Grade in Great Yan, where the Spiritual Qi is so thin, is easier said than done. It feels like Su Qingyu has beco obsessed with it...’
"Alright now, can’t you focus, my dear?"
"Or do you find Us unattractive?" Until now, Gongsun Jinghong had been busy circulating the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill all on her own, which definitely couldn’t bring out the Skill’s true effect.
Zou Feng finally snapped out of his thoughts. "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. In that case, forgive my boldness!"
An ultimate showdown, entirely different from the one between Su Qingyu and Gongsun Xiang, officially began.
On the Celestial Sacrifice Platform, the battle was growing more and more intense. This showed that Su Qingyu and Gongsun Xiang were past the stage of probing each other and were starting to get serious.
Inside Jinluan Hall, however, they had gotten down to business from the very start with the Dragon and Tiger Convergence.
With each of Zou Feng’s Dragon-Subduing Strikes, strange, invisible ripples continuously spread out from Jinluan Hall.
The entire Imperial Palace seed to respond to this rhythm, beginning to pulsate along with it.
Gradually, this strange pulsation spread to the Celestial Sacrifice Platform.
At this mont, Gongsun Xiang, who had been fighting a bitter battle, seed to be struggling. Cold sweat began to bead on his forehead.
He had to admit that Su Qingyu’s strength was indeed great enough to threaten him.
Moreover, fighting Su Qingyu required not only suppressing the poison but also constantly guarding against new toxins. Over ti, it was truly ntally and physically exhausting.
Su Qingyu, on the other hand—whether she was deliberately putting on a brave face or not—appeared calm and composed on the surface, looking as if she could go on for another three hundred rounds.
Inevitably, Gongsun Xiang began to panic.
It was common knowledge that when fighting a Poison Cultivator, it was best not to drag things out.
Otherwise, just staying in a toxic environnt for an extended period would make suppressing the poison difficult enough.
The next mont, Gongsun Xiang gritted his teeth and made a decision.
’I can’t keep fighting like this. I have to use my trump card now, while I still have so strength left!’
"Su Qingyu, since you’re so determined to die, We shall grant you your wish!"
While uttering this threat, Gongsun Xiang unleashed a Burst of True Qi to force Su Qingyu back, then imdiately perford acupoint stimulation on several points on his own body.
"Supre True Dragon Body, release!"
Once the acupoint stimulation was complete, Gongsun Xiang threw his head back and let out a ferocious roar.
But his roar was nothing like a human’s; it was the bellow of a great dragon.
It was as if Gongsun Xiang had undergone a Dragon Transformation in that instant.
At the sa ti, the Power of Destiny of the Great Yan Dynasty Royal Family began to pour into Gongsun Xiang’s body even more frantically.
The Supre True Dragon Body was originally ant to better contain the Power of Destiny.
When this Power of Destiny rged with Gongsun Xiang’s physical body, it beca what was known as "Dragon Qi."
The effect was equivalent to a complete rebirth, transforming him into a humanoid dragon.
In theory, this thod was similar in principle to how Zou Feng, after activating his True Man State, had his Tribulation-Indestructible Body transform him into a True Gang Body.
As Gongsun Xiang activated his Supre True Dragon Body, the Celestial Sacrifice Platform, which had been as steady as a rock throughout the battle, actually began to tremble and shake.
Seeing that Gongsun Xiang was about to go for the kill, a trace of solemnity inevitably appeared in Su Qingyu’s eyes.
She didn’t dare to be arrogant, imdiately flying back to the edge of the Celestial Sacrifice Platform while forming a series of profound Dharma Seals with her hands.
"Silent Extinction Gu Divine Domain!"
The toxic smoke perating the area abruptly turned kaleidoscopic, nearly shrouding the entire Celestial Sacrifice Platform within it.
Vast numbers of bizarrely shaped Gu Insects flew about in the toxic smoke, every one of them appearing desperate for flesh and blood.
And in the densest area of the toxic smoke, a giant cocoon seventy to eighty feet tall suddenly appeared.
This was where Su Qingyu had been standing, but her figure was now gone. She was clearly enveloped within the giant cocoon.
The many masters watching the battle, however, could only feel that an extrely terrifying monster was gestating inside that cocoon.
With every tremor of the giant cocoon, the hearts of the spectators tightened in their chests.
Everyone couldn’t help but feel a premonition: once this monster finished gestating and broke out of its cocoon, it would likely unleash an incredibly terrifying disaster.
Bai Chen, however, gazed at the cocoon with an excited expression and murmured, "The Palace Master actually managed to perfect this Poison Domain?"
Beside him, Teng County couldn’t help but ask, "With this Poison Domain, can she defeat that dog Emperor’s Supre True Dragon Body?"
Bai Chen nodded. "She will win!"
But then, clearly still harboring so concerns, he added, "As long as Gongsun Xiang doesn’t break the cocoon prematurely..."
’So she needs to complete her transformation in the cocoon to guarantee a win.’
’If the cocoon is broken prematurely, it would obviously be a huge problem.’
Therefore, the next stage of the battle would depend on whether the cocoon’s defenses could withstand Gongsun Xiang’s storm-like assault.
Teng County couldn’t help but feel anxious about this. After all, no one knew how long the transformation inside the cocoon would take.
And Gongsun Xiang, having transford into one of the Dragon People, was truly terrifying in his might. Even a simple punch from him felt like it could make the entire Celestial Sacrifice Platform collapse.
"Brother Feng, what do you think?" Teng County turned her head to look to her left.
That was where Zou Feng had been standing.
But when Teng County looked, it was empty.
Teng County hurriedly looked around but still couldn’t find any trace of Zou Feng.
"Where’s Brother Feng? Where did my Brother Feng go?" Teng County wanted to go look for Zou Feng, but the battle had reached a fever pitch, and she really didn’t want to miss it.
At almost the exact sa ti, the "battle" between Zou Feng and Gongsun Jinghong had also reached a critical juncture.
To better bring out the effects of the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill, Zou Feng disregarded the fact that he had just recently used State Two and ruthlessly entered the True Man State once again.
This ti, his offensive power more than doubled!
The resulting pulsation from Jinluan Hall, and indeed the entire vast Imperial Palace, beca even clearer.
Many of the patrolling guards began to wonder if there was an earthquake.
anwhile, Gongsun Xiang, having entered his Supre True Dragon Body, found his Perception enhanced to an absurd degree. He gradually beca aware of the strange pulsation from Jinluan Hall.
He had been in the middle of bombarding the giant cocoon, and this sudden awareness left him utterly bewildered.
"Who? Who is in Jinluan Hall?"
’This is...’ In his mind, Gongsun Xiang already had the most likely answer.
His face gradually turned green.
’Soone is using so kind of Evil Skill to siphon off the Power of Destiny that should belong entirely to . And it must be one of the won from the Royal Family...’
