Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1394: Fighting the Dragon

Lu Chen took the jade slip, examined it carefully, and then put it into his pocket. "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you. My name is Lu Chen."

"Alright, I've got it. I have other things to do, so let's part ways here. I'll definitely treat you to a drink when we meet again in the Great Wilderness Tribe."

Pei Hu said, his tone full of gratitude. He planned to find a place to take the Five Elements Dao Fruit to improve his cultivation.

"Goodbye. I will come to the Great Wilderness Tribe to find you after some time." Lu Chen bowed and took his leave.

"no problem."

Pei Hu returned the greeting with a bow, then used his movement technique to leave.

Seeing Pei Hu leave, Lu Chen didn't delay. He stepped onto the Xuan Tian Nine Steps, and his body transformed into a blur, disappearing from the spot...

Several hours later, Lu Chen not only successfully left the mysterious area shrouded in white mist, but also discovered a naturally formed cave on a secluded mountainside.

After looking around and confirming that there was no one else around, he quickly entered the cave and began to set up a concealment formation.

As the last rune flickered faintly in the air, the entire cave seemed to shut itself off from the outside world, becoming eerily quiet.

After completing these steps, Lu Chen felt relieved enough to enter the Golden Pearl World and then proceeded to the ninth level of the Sky Time Tower.

Immediately afterwards, he sat cross-legged, slowly closed his eyes, and focused his mind into his body. Then he began to circulate the Chaos Dao Life Technique, took out the divine crystal, and combined it with the divine energy within the crystal to transform the immortal essence in his body into divine essence.

As the technique was activated, he could feel a warm power rising from his dantian and gradually spreading throughout his body.

This force, like a gentle stream, softly yet firmly pushes the divine energy within the divine crystal to combine with the immortal essence, thereby causing a qualitative change in the immortal essence.

At first, the immortal essence trembled slightly, seemingly resisting the impending change. But as the Chaos Dao Life Technique continued to operate, these forces that had initially resisted change gradually began to submit.

During this process, Lu Chen felt his consciousness gradually becoming clearer and deeper, as if he could perceive the essence of all things in the world.

At the same time, the immortal essence within his body gradually transformed into purer and more powerful divine essence. This process was accompanied by a slight stinging sensation, but Lu Chen knew that this was an inevitable experience.

As time passed, a bright light emanated from Lu Chen, illuminating the entire ninth level of space. This was a sign of the birth of divine essence, representing that he had taken a crucial step on his path of cultivation.

Lu Chen felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment, as if every cell in his body was cheering and jumping for joy.

Although Lu Chen knew that his cultivation level had not improved, his strength had increased dozens of times after the immortal essence was transformed into divine essence. This was the power of the Chaos Dao Life Technique.

Lu Chen dared to say that even if he encountered a true expert at the Shaping Dao Realm, he would have the strength to fight them.

"Hoo—" Lu Chen exhaled a breath of stale air and slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, his eyes shone with confidence.

Then he got up and stretched his slightly stiff body. "Time is really worthless. It took more than two thousand years just to convert divine essence, and the few divine crystals I had were all used up. It seems I have to think of a way to earn divine crystals."

After quickly tidying up, Lu Chen left the secluded cave.

However, as soon as Lu Chen stepped out of the cave, he heard a huge roar, so loud that it seemed as if the heavens and earth were trembling.

He subconsciously extended his divine sense, trying to find out what had happened.

Immediately afterward, three figures appeared in his line of sight, flying through the air at an extremely fast speed. Their breathing was disordered, clearly indicating that they had all suffered considerable injuries.

"That's...?" Lu Chen's heart tightened, and his gaze quickly swept towards the sky behind the three of them.

A gigantic dragon was chasing them, its massive body tumbling through the air, emanating a chilling aura.

Lu Chen recognized the dragon at a glance as the same one he had seen in the area shrouded in white mist. It seemed to harbor great hostility towards the three cultivators and was determined to kill them.

Before he could think any further, just as Lu Chen withdrew his divine sense and prepared to flee, the three figures arrived in front of him and cried out for help.

"Fellow Daoist, please save us!" one of them cried out urgently, his eyes filled with fear and despair.

At the same time, Lu Chen realized that he had been locked into the dragon's domain space. An invisible force tightly bound him, making him feel immense pressure.

"Damn it, these guys are so dishonest," Lu Chen cursed inwardly.

He knew that it was too late to run away now, and he could only grit his teeth and fight.

With a roar, Lu Chen charged forward instantly. Partly because escape was impossible, and partly because he wanted to use this opportunity to test his strength.

After all, his own estimations are nowhere near as accurate as actual combat.

The dragon was enraged when it saw someone daring to block its path. It opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a mouthful of scorching flames, attempting to incinerate Lu Chen instantly.

However, Lu Chen was prepared and easily dodged the fatal blow with a swift movement.

"Hmph, a mere trick!" Lu Chen sneered. He gripped the Greatsword Godslayer tightly with both hands, and swung it forward with a fierce slash, sending a sharp blade of light piercing through the air, aiming straight for the dragon's throat.

The dragon reacted extremely quickly, flicking its tail to block the attack. However, the powerful impact of the blade's energy still caused it a sharp pain, prompting it to roar repeatedly in anger.

Immediately, the dragon launched a fierce attack, its huge body darting through the air like lightning, each swing bringing with it gusts of wind.

Lu Chen nimbly dodged while searching for an opportunity to counterattack. He felt the surging divine energy within him propelling him forward like a tide.

Finally, after a skillful dodge, Lu Chen seized a fleeting opportunity and slashed at the dragon's flank.

This strike not only accurately hit its target, but also contained Lu Chen's understanding of the laws of the Great Dao, making the attack full of destructive power.

The dragon roared in pain, but it did not retreat. Instead, it launched an even more frenzied attack.

Its tail lashed out like a whip, moving so fast it was dazzling. Lu Chen couldn't dodge in time and was sent flying backward.

"Roar..." The dragon roared angrily, its figure flashed, and it pressed on with its advantage.

"Damn beast, just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean you can take me for a pushover!" Lu Chen spat as he regained his balance.

Immediately, with a thought, he unleashed the eighth move of the Primordial Nine Blades, "Tear".

With a single strike, heaven and earth were turned upside down, time and space were disrupted, and in an instant, the void was shattered, its momentum as powerful as a rainbow.

With a single strike, the vast expanse of space was torn apart, the Milky Way surged forth, and the sword swept across the land, tearing apart every inch of space it touched in an instant, leaving no room for escape.

Countless cracks instantly appeared in the sky, like a harbinger of the end of the world, each crack containing the power to change the world.

Immediately, a terrifying power erupted from the Greatsword Godslayer…
