Martial Arts Overlord

The sky, with a slanting sun high above, illuminates the valley, where streams meander and the clear waters shimmer under the sunlight.

Deep within the valley, in a secluded cave, Luo Feng sits cross-legged.

"In a short time, cultivation has little room for progress, no need to rush for a breakthrough. In over ten days, the space for improving martial arts techniques is also very limited. What’s left is only the Divine Dragon Nine Changes and Demon Form Technique..."

Luo Feng furrows his brows, contemplating how to use the limited time effectively.

After a moment, Luo Feng exhales slowly, making a decision, "I’ll start with cultivating the Divine Dragon Nine Changes..."

The second change of the Divine Dragon Nine Changes has been cultivated to the ninth level; further advancement enables the start of cultivating the third change: ’Cloud Dragon Transformation’.

Luo Feng already deeply understands the power of the Divine Dragon Nine Changes. The first change, ’Blood Essence Transformation’, can temper the martial artist’s flesh, allowing for Spirit and Flesh Unity. The second change, ’Blood Soul Transformation’, stands out even more remarkably, enhancing each level, increases the martial artist’s Yuan Qi by one-tenth; reaching the ninth level cultivates Nine Dragons Return Yuan, even refining a mouthful of True Yuan.

In the Red Flame Desert, he could slay a True Yuan Realm Demon General-level expert, relying on that mouthful of True Yuan; otherwise, he might have long since been buried in the sand sea.

Therefore, Luo Feng is increasingly looking forward to the third change of the Divine Dragon Nine Changes.

If he can cultivate the third change, his strength will undoubtedly rise to a new level.

The ’Demon Qi Release’ of the Demon Form Technique is also extremely formidable, but in Luo Feng’s eyes, it can’t compare to the Divine Dragon Nine Changes.

Having made his decision, Luo Feng was about to begin cultivation when suddenly he remembered the red jade bead obtained in the Red Dragon Mountain Range.

Swish!

With a swipe of his finger on the storage ring, he took out the red jade bead.

In the dim light, the jade bead, as big as a baby’s fist, emitted threads of blood light, appearing exceptionally crystalline; inside, the dragon-shaped phantom was clearly visible, spiraling and flying, as if alive.

Holding the red jade bead, Luo Feng felt a vague uneasiness in his heart, the dragon-shaped True Yuan in his Dantian instinctively stirring.

Sensing this change, Luo Feng hesitated slightly, then infused Soul Power into the jade bead.

Buzz!

At the moment Soul Power touched the jade bead, Luo Feng’s mind was instantly drawn in, with the world before his eyes ablaze.

"Roar..."

A majestic dragon roar sounded, Luo Feng squinted his eyes, looking towards the sky.

In the crimson sky, a giant dragon burning with red flames danced in the air, roaring endlessly.

The red flaming dragon’s entire scale armor glistened; its roar accompanied by intense Yuan Qi waves, as if striving to rend the space apart, its might was overwhelming.

Suddenly.

The dragon halted, its massive fiery eyes glaring at Luo Feng.

Whoosh...

In that moment of locking eyes with the dragon, Luo Feng immediately withdrew his Soul Power, his clothes already drenched in sweat.

"What an intimidating aura..."

Though it wasn’t the first time seeing this scene, Luo Feng was still incredibly shaken. Faced with the Corpse Ghost Taoist, he never felt such a terrifying oppression.

"I wonder if this jade bead has any relation to the Divine Dragon Nine Changes..."

Feeling the restlessness of the dragon-shaped True Yuan in his Dantian, Luo Feng muttered to himself, gazing at the red jade bead in his hand.

Back then, the dean discovered the Teng Dragon’s Step Secret Manual near the Red Dragon Mountain Range; the Single Horned Red Cloud Python’s ability to transform seemed connected to this jade bead; everything involved the legendary Divine Dragon, indeed quite baffling.

"No matter what, enhancing strength is the main priority!"

Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng discarded his distractions, grasping the red jade bead with both hands near his abdomen, began cultivating.

Buzz!

Upon circulating Yuan Qi, crimson ripples gushed from the red jade bead, causing the cave to resonate with a booming sound, the entrance collapsing, tightly sealed with rubble.

Luo Feng practiced Chi block, ignoring external changes, only feeling an extraordinarily fierce aura pouring into his body through his hand acupoints, spreading throughout his entire being.

In this instant, his whole body felt unbearably heated, as if all his blood were ignited by this fierce aura.

Not daring to be careless, Luo Feng fully circulated Yuan Qi, running along the trajectory of the Divine Dragon Nine Changes.

Roar...

As Yuan Qi completed each Grand Circulation, the rotational speed increased, even the dragon-shaped True Yuan in his Dantian became restless, swirling and flying, emitting soul-stirring dragon roars.

Time swiftly passed, with the night quickly gone.

The next morning, Luo Feng suddenly opened his eyes, the brilliance in his gaze akin to lightning, sharp enough to illuminate the dark cave as if daylight.

"I guessed correctly, this jade bead indeed has some connection with the Divine Dragon Nine Changes!"

Gazing at the red jade bead in his hand, Luo Feng’s eyes shone brilliantly, flashing with delight.

After a night of cultivation, he felt his Yuan Qi more refined, moreover, the Divine Dragon Nine Changes, dormant for long, suddenly stirred, showing signs of breakthrough, with progression rate unknown times faster than previous cultivation.

"At this pace, the Divine Dragon Nine Changes should soon breakthrough. I wonder what mystery ’Cloud Dragon Transformation’, the third change, holds..."

His eyes flickering, Luo Feng decided to seize the momentum, planning to return to the Golden Palace after breaking through the third change of the Divine Dragon Nine Changes.

Having made his decision, Luo Feng’s gaze swept around, seeing the entrance sealed by stones, nodding. This would prevent disruption from demon beasts and others.

Closing his eyes, Luo Feng continued cultivating.

Roar...

Along with Yuan Qi’s circulation, the dragon roars reverberated in his Dantian, louder than before, exuding an ancient aura.

Another day passed.

Morning, in the valley where birds and insects should chirp, it was silent.

Rustle...

Suddenly, footsteps sounded, as two figures entered the valley.

The two men walked with draconic and tiger-like strides, exuding an indistinctly terrifying aura; the one on the left was slim, with a sword at his waist, eyes cold and snake-like, full of cunning; the one on the right was tall, with a beard, appearing wild, holding an equal-brow short stick.

Reaching the stream, the robust man poured a handful of water onto his face; the refreshing stream water pleased him thoroughly, "Refreshing!"

Saying this, he placed the equal-brow short stick beside him, retrieved a water bag from his storage ring to fill it, then turned to the cold man beside him:

"Second Brother, calling me here alone isn’t just to fetch water, is it?"

The cold man pointed a finger, without warning, piercing a fish swimming in the stream, coldly saying, "Of course not."

"Then what for?" the robust man asked curiously.

"That grandfather and grandson should carry substantial wealth. Big Brother and I have planned; soon, we’ll take action and slay them, gaining a fortune." The cold man’s eyes flashed with ghostly light, his tone full of murderous intent.
