Chapter 182, 181 [Encountering a Second Wu Guang in Life, Achieving the Status of the Five Virtues Dragon King]

In the twilight ocean, towering waves rose thousands of feet high;

In the trenches, where the Earth's crust is weakest, even wider cracks have appeared.

On the plains of the land, continental plates are squeezed and uplifted, turning into continuous high mountains;
Thick magma spews from the geologically unstable crater.
Ying Zheng painstakingly prepared for decades to create a boundary-breaking formation powered by the dragon veins. Once activated, it would unleash a cataclysmic apocalyptic scene.

The outer membrane of this Jambudvipa fruit is so strong that even a seventh-level cultivator would have difficulty breaking it. But even the strongest fortress is just a decoration when faced with the destruction launched from within by the natives of this world.

After the internal structure of the fruit became unstable, even the uterine membranes developed fine cracks.

The world is on the verge of destruction.

If no one comes to the rescue, given the severity of the damage this fruit has suffered, it will gradually rot and wither, eventually falling from the branches of the Jambudvipa tree and into the Ruins of the World at the base of the tree.

The process of decay is quick for the fruit pit, but for the creatures living in it, the experience of time can be very long, possibly lasting for years, or even decades or centuries.

"With the current strength of the amniotic sac that we are barely maintaining, I really don't know how many cultivators we can stop from sneaking in and out."

"With just a few hundred years of weakening and the manipulation of a single formation, a healthy fruit could be reduced to this state. The Heavenly Demon truly deserves his title of demon."

Chen Sheng took all of this in view, gripped his long sword tightly, and looked towards Xianyang City, thousands of miles away.

On the Guanzhong Plain, which stretches for 800 miles, dense abyssal fissures are now visible, with large amounts of magma flowing and spewing from within.

The twelve golden figures, originally standing around Xianyang City and hundreds of feet tall, seemed to have used a Taoist technique similar to the law of heaven and earth, becoming even taller and more majestic.

With his legs firmly planted on the turbulent earth, he used his thick shoulders and muscular arms to lift up the entire massive city.

Chen Sheng's gaze swept across the city's scenery and landed on Ying Zheng, who sat on the dragon throne in the main hall. He couldn't help but sigh.

"No wonder Ying Zheng was willing to abandon the Black Dragon bloodline that he had cultivated to the fifth level."

Having caused such severe damage to the fruit, though it had not yet completely withered, he had already received a portion of the bounty of the Dao of Destruction.

A beam of black light descended from nowhere and landed on Ying Zheng, where it was slowly absorbed.

Perhaps because he had broken free from the influence of the dragon bloodline, the shadow behind him no longer took on the form of a dragon. Instead, it wriggled and transformed into a pitch-black demonic shadow, which became a celestial demon with eight arms, a black face and fangs, a vertical eye between its brows, and a pair of exaggerated curved horns on its head.

At the same time, demonic flames were burning fiercely on his body, and the profound demonic intent that could distort all things directly caused the surrounding space to twist.

Ying Zheng noticed Chen Sheng's spying, but the other party seemed to be sensing something with his eyes closed, and was unmoved by his gaze.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Ying Zheng's handsome lips.

"I've found you right here!"

As he spoke, the demonic figure behind him raised its arms and spewed out a ball of black flame, which directly burned the space in front of him.

Crackling!

The space was burned by demonic flames, producing a sound like ordinary flames burning firewood.

Gradually, wisps of golden light began to emerge from the pitch-black demonic flames.

Even the pitch-black demonic flames that could absorb all light could not obscure the presence of the golden light, and instead made it grow brighter and brighter as it continued to burn.

In a short while, the golden light completely overwhelmed the presence of the black flames, radiating a dazzling brilliance and revealing a kernel shaped like a walnut.

Even against the backdrop of the raging demonic flames below, the shape of the fruit pit is clearly visible. Its skin is as clear as crystal, and inside there is a purple substance that flows like water and burns like fire, enchanting and lively, constantly changing its shape.

Chen Sheng glanced at it and felt a surge of vitality and a mysterious creation containing infinite possibilities.

This is the kernel of the Jambudvipa fruit.

A complete Jambudvipa fruit often contains the complete three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Heaven is the core of a realm, the Jambudvipa fruit kernel; Earth is all the pulp that makes up the fruit—matter; and Man is all the living beings that live in it.

The seed is usually hidden inside the flesh that represents the earth; it exists in any place, yet it doesn't exist in any place, making it very difficult for people to find.

Under the influence of the fruit kernel's instinctive will, it will also tempt and drive the natives of this world to attack those who seek it out with malicious intent.

With double protection, it is naturally extremely difficult to get to.

However, as only a few million of the creatures in this realm survived in the harsh environment, and the material they were hiding in was destroyed by the realm-breaking formation, the three powers were out of balance, and the fruit core no longer had any means of hiding, so it was easily found by Ying Zheng.

However, even under these circumstances, the technique of harvesting the seeds of the Yama Fruit is an extremely secretive knowledge and tradition, which ordinary fifth-order cultivators simply cannot do.

The method of reaping that Ying Zheng possessed was the main purpose for Chen Sheng's reincarnation in this world.

In the Qin palace, Ying Zheng, upon obtaining the pit of the Yanfu Fruit, excitedly stood up and embraced it with a greedy expression. Even though the pit emitted dense golden light, burning through his body with holes, he was unwilling to let go.

"Hahaha...hehehe...hehehe..."

A series of eerie laughs echoed through the main hall, only ceasing after a long while.

Ying Zheng embraced the pit of the Yanfu Fruit with all his might, letting it melt into his chest.

The golden light burned wounds on the demon's body, which were quickly filled by the rolling demonic energy, endlessly cycling between damage and repair.

Then, Ying Zheng turned his head and met Chen Sheng's gaze, whose gaze and will had traveled thousands of miles to reach this place. His expression turned solemn.

"Outsider, do you now regret refusing my offer and are suffering from pain and despair?"
And here's some bad news: in just three more hours, I will be able to completely corrupt this fruit pit with demonic energy.

"The moment I have free time will be the day you die."

Throughout his speech, a strange, unrestrained laugh emanated from Ying Zheng's body.

It seems that the loss of the checks and balances of his dragon bloodline, along with the sudden increase in his cultivation, has distorted and alienated his spirit and will into a relatively free state that is closer to that of a celestial demon.

After obtaining the Jambudvipa fruit kernel, he was unable to suppress the joy in his heart.

There's no point in looking at the situation in Xianyang any further.

Chen Sheng turned his gaze away from that spot, his mind calm and collected as he pondered.

"How can I defeat Ying Zheng, who is at the mid-stage of the fifth rank?"

The cultivation system of the two paths of life and nature that prevails on the Yama Fruit Tree is designed with extreme rigor. Even at the first to fourth levels, very few exceptionally talented cultivators are able to fight beyond their level.

After reaching the fifth rank, the difference in combat power between the early, middle, and late stages of each rank becomes even greater, almost to the point where each stage represents a completely different level.

Therefore, Chen Sheng, at the initial stage of the fifth rank, was definitely no match for a fifth-rank mid-stage Heavenly Demon.

He now faces only two choices:

Alternatively, they could take with them the gains from these past few years of reincarnation, along with Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, and a large group of subordinates hiding in secret places, and escape directly from the cracked membrane of heaven and earth.

Either he could break through his cultivation level within three hours and fight Ying Zheng to the death. No, the three-hour deadline was given by Ying Zheng himself; the words of the Heavenly Demon cannot be entirely trusted, and their truth cannot be determined.

Once Chen Sheng embarked on this path, all he could do was acquire enough power as quickly as possible.

Will he choose to flee in panic?

"hehe!"

Chen Sheng snorted coldly and first looked at the Tai'a sword in his hand.

[Tai'a Sword], a secret treasure of Jambudvipa, with the following characteristics:
First, the sword energy emitted by the Tai'a Sword has a constant power when no true energy or magic power is injected, and it does not consume any energy when used.

However, if one actively injects true qi and mana into the sword energy, its destructive power will be correspondingly enhanced.

Second, the sword of power, the sword intent of Tai'a has existed eternally between heaven and earth; later swordsmiths merely forged its form.

If the swordsman's will can be in harmony with the sword's intent, the power of the sword energy will be greatly enhanced.

Third, this sword can automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, providing a near-limitless energy boost to the wielder. (There is an upper limit to the conversion efficiency.)

Fourth, this sword is forged from Taixu Treasure Steel. Weapons of lower toughness than this sword will not be able to be damaged or directly destroyed by collision with it.

"This is indeed an extremely pure sword. When used together with Chixiao, it can enhance my combat power to a certain extent."

But this is far from enough to confront Ying Zheng.

Click!

Chen Sheng unleashed a Soul-Destroying Divine Thunder, erasing the imprint of Ying Zheng within.

Afterwards, he repeatedly refined Tai'a with lightning while pondering in his heart.

"In the end, it all comes down to cultivation level."

In my current cultivation system, the core Daoist technique of Thunder Emperor Dianhuang Yangshen is the five elements of thunder and lightning generated by [controlling the five thunders], as well as the three hundred and sixty kinds of thunder commonly found in the world.

The "Ten Thousand Dragons Scripture," which is the main cultivation method of the Daoist, is also based on the pure-blooded Five Elements Dragon Clan, with the Five Elements Divine Powers as its framework, and it also masters a large number of other Divine Powers.

The power of the five elements is interconnected. If I can also raise my life path to the fifth level, I will definitely be able to achieve true dual cultivation of body and mind, instead of the mutual interference and hindrance that happened to Ying Zheng's cultivation of body and mind, thus achieving an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Where exactly is that Azure Dragon bloodline I'm missing?
"Jambo fruit pit, can you tell me the answer?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Sheng clearly felt the blessing of a divine power.

Clearly, in the face of this crisis of withering, the Yanfu fruit kernel will spare no effort to help all of Ying Zheng's enemies.

Following the intuition that arose in his mind, Chen Sheng adjusted his direction and transformed into a streak of lightning, flying away into the distance.

……

The destination of this trip is not far from Handan County.

When Chen Sheng transformed from lightning into human form, he found himself back in Yingchuan County, above the territory of Yangcheng.

At this moment, the once vast Gobi Desert has been completely swallowed by golden-red lava, and is now emitting thick black smoke containing fiery poison.

Below, on a wave of surging lava, a beautiful young girl is trying to avoid the waves of lava.

The girl had two thick, tree-like, emerald-green dragon horns on her forehead, with many branches and leaves on the horns. She had dark green hair, blue eyes, and a slender figure. Her skin also had many scars that had just healed from being burned by lava.

This image makes her look beautiful and strong, brimming with vitality.

However, Chen Sheng had no time to appreciate beauty. The moment he saw the other person, he knew that she was a pure-blooded Azure Dragon.

The kernel of the Jambudvipa contains all the information of this world; finding someone is that easy.

Chen Sheng reached out from mid-air and grabbed the panicked girl.

He pulled her into his arms, released the flesh encased in his Yang Spirit, and licked some blood from the burn wounds on her body with his tongue, swallowing it with a satisfied expression.

The girl stared with her large, bluish eyes, like a bewildered newborn fawn, at the strange man who had embraced her.

Seemingly sensing that his behavior was somewhat perverted, she quickly and cautiously spoke up.

"Thank you for saving me, big brother. My name is Wu Guang. I will definitely repay you when we find a safe place."

Also, big brother, do you know what happened? How did Yangcheng County become like this?

Upon hearing the name Wu Guang, Chen Sheng, who was busy replicating his bloodline, lowered his head with interest and said...

"Are you also named Wu Guang?"
I once met a Wu Guang who kindly gave me a set of methods for cultivating sexuality.

Unexpectedly, at such a crucial moment, another Wu Guang has brought me the Azure Dragon bloodline.

It seems I have some kind of destiny with someone named Wu Guang.

The girl found the man in front of her rather strange, but due to his unfathomable cultivation, she obediently agreed.

"It's only fate that we met in this vast lava field, my elder brother and I."

When Chen Sheng touched Qinglongniang, a certain spirit within her split off into a child body, granting Wu Guang the supernatural ability to fly.

Then, he shoved Wu Guang aside.

"Go ahead, fly as high as you can, it'll be relatively safer at higher altitudes."

I don't have time to worry about you right now. Whether you survive this cataclysmic disaster depends on your own fate.

After finishing this task, Chen Sheng ignored the bewildered Wu Guang and remained suspended in place.

Sensing within his body, a wisp of azure energy successfully condensed in his acupoints, transforming into a cute little figure in azure robes, causing his entire body to tremble suddenly.

Then, the thousands of spirits that were circulating in the vast meridians started to operate on their own, using the five elements as their framework, and fell into the five dragon demon structural systems that had been designed beforehand.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Sheng's entire body began to writhe, and his head instantly split into five pieces, with his body below also splitting in sync.

It wriggled and transformed into five demonic dragons: red, white, gold, blue, and black.

In mid-air, the flesh and blood rapidly expanded, transforming into a giant dragon hundreds of feet long that flew around.

After meandering for a moment, to Wu Guang's bewildered and shocked gaze, they transformed into five streams of light, which suddenly collided together...
