Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

The other demonic orcas, fearless and disregarding casualties, pounced on Qi Jiang and his companion.

Thus, Qi Jiang and his companion engaged in a fierce battle and struggle with the demonic orca pod over the ownership of the Blood Sea Crimson Lotus.

The Demon Orca King's gray-black skin shimmered with a faint luster. It opened its massive mouth, releasing terrifying energy.

"Boom!" A thick, iron-gray beam of light suddenly erupted and slammed straight toward Qi Jiang.

Qi Jiang remained calm as his soul rings lit up, and dragon scales flew out, forming a dragon scale shield to block the iron-gray light pillar.

The iron-gray beam of light struck the dragon scale shield, and a violent explosion rang out before the beam of light disappeared beneath the shield.

At the same time, the tough dragon scale armor shattered, revealing the blue dragon head hidden behind it.

The dragon head, carrying immense force, roared as it struck the evil orca king.

Large plumes of blood mist erupted from the Demon Orca King's body, the pain emanating from its internal organs rendering it unable to move.

Qi Jiang seized the opportunity, his dragon claws plunging straight into the heart of the Demon Orca King, intending to end the battle.

Suddenly, Qi Jiang felt a chill run down his spine. Without thinking, he twisted his body to dodge most of the sword light coming from behind, but some of it still struck his right arm.

"Hmph," Qi Jiang grunted, looking at the bloodstain on his right arm through the battle armor with disbelief.

The battle armor failed to defend against the sword light, and Qi Jiang looked at Chu Ci, who was holding the Heavenly Candle, with a grim expression.

"Oh dear, you dodged it." Chu Ci shook his head with considerable regret.

Qi Jiang's face was obscured by his helmet, but his voice revealed his anger.

"You scoundrel, how dare you ambush me!"

Chu Ci, with a defiant look on his face, said nonchalantly, "Not only will I ambush you, but I will also take the Blood Sea Crimson Lotus and eat it right in front of you."

"Damn it!" Qi Jiang roared in fury, water element surrounding himself as he launched the first attack on Chu Ci.

On the other side, Chen Xuanyu launched a sneak attack on Li Yue, and the two began to fight.

Qi Jiang's soul rings flashed, and he let out a dragon roar full of anger. Deep red energy attached itself to his body, and his overall aura began to rise steadily.

It was obvious that Qi Jiang had used an amplification soul skill.

Chu Ci raised an eyebrow, and the white eyes of the Heavenly Candle in his hand suddenly opened, with blue and white Yin energy swirling around the sword.

A bright moon rises from behind the Chu Ci (Songs of Chu), and wherever the moonlight shines, it is the realm of the dark moon and the night.

"This is... a domain!" Qi Jiang felt the heavy pressure on his body, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Chu Ci's hand held a celestial candle that danced lightly, while the bright moon behind her scattered its holy and dazzling light.

Sword shadows seemed to flicker in Tianzhu's white eyes. The moonlight, containing the power of yin, was like a fairy wielding a ray of moonlight, casually slashing down with an unparalleled sword light, carrying the sword intent to cut off everything, and falling towards Qijiang.

Qi Jiang suppressed the trembling of his body under the power of extreme Yin and used his fifth soul skill with clenched fists.

Countless dragon-shaped streams of water converged in the palms, gradually forming a giant water bullet within which a water dragon seemed to coil.

Fifth Soul Skill, Earthquake Domain Sea Dragon Bullet

Qi Jiang raised the giant water bomb high, roared, and thrust it out.

Chu Ci's gaze was indifferent as patches of black scales appeared on his right arm, with intricate blue and white patterns emerging on the scales.

A powerful force surged from his right arm, and Chu Ci swung his sword down, causing cracks to appear on the Sea Dragon Ball under the moonlight.

"Ahhh!" Qi Jiang frantically channeled his soul power into the Sea Dragon Ball of the Earthquake Domain.

Chu Ci felt the resistance coming from under the moonlight and gave a cold laugh.

"Negative couple resists stubbornly."

The scales of the gods appeared, the first and second soul rings flickered, and the scales of the gods returned to balance.

The moonlight in the sky seemed even more solid, and it sounded as if chanting Buddhist hymns were rising from it.

"break!"

Chu Ci swung his sword, and the Zhenyu Sea Dragon Bullet was shattered by the dazzling moonlight.

As Qi Jiang watched in horror, the moonlight rained down upon him.

Qi Jiang let out a miserable scream as his battle armor shattered into pieces under the moonlight, clearly rendering it unwearable for the foreseeable future.

But just as Qi Jiang was about to be eliminated by the Moonlight's cutting, a golden shield filled with inexplicable Daoist essence suddenly unfolded, protecting Qi Jiang.

Qi Jiang's eyes were filled with resentment and hatred, and he really wished he could eat the flesh and drink the blood.

But when faced with Chu Ci raising the Heavenly Candle again, Qi Jiang still grabbed Li Yue, who had also been defeated, and used something to transform into a blue streak of light and fly away quickly.

"Hahaha, Old Chu, this ten-thousand-year-old Blood Sea Crimson Lotus is ours now, hahaha!" Chen Xuanyu shouted excitedly.

Qi Jiang and his companion were defeated and fled. The Demon Orca King was on the verge of death, and the remaining Demon Orca pods scattered and fled. Chu Ci and Chen Xuanyu became the ultimate winners.

Chu Ci and Chen Xuanyu arrived beside the Blood Sea Crimson Lotus. Looking at this bewitching, blood-red lotus, they could not hide their excitement.

After calming her thoughts, Chu Ci said to Chen Xuanyu, "How about we split the Blood Sea Crimson Lotus in half?"

"Huh?" Chen Xuanyu was taken aback, then waved his hand, "You did the most work in dealing with Qi Jiang this time, so you get two-thirds of the reward."

"No, half is fine. I was able to obtain the Blood Sea Crimson Lotus thanks to the high regard that Palace Master Chen held for me," Chu Ci said.

After much deliberation, Chen Xuanyu finally agreed to Chu Ci's proposal.

"Okay! We'll split it evenly! But let's make it clear that next time we find something good, whoever put in the most effort gets the most."

"Row."

The two carefully put away the Blood Sea Crimson Lotus and quickly returned to the trial area.

Upon arriving at the first trial grounds, the two were sharing the Blood Sea Crimson Lotus when Qi Jiang angrily led his men over.

Seeing this, Chen Xuanyu arrogantly said, "Oh, looking for trouble? Come on, hit me."

As he spoke, Chen Xuanyu pointed to his face.

Qi Jiang's face was full of anger, but he was helpless. Fighting was prohibited in the trial area, and violators would be severely punished by Seagod Island.

Chu Ci glanced at Qi Jiang, and Chen Xuanyu made a face at Qi Jiang before each of them took half of the Blood Sea Crimson Lotus and began to absorb it.

Chapter 146 Consuming the Blood Sea Crimson Lotus and Comprehending the Sword Soul

Seeing the blood mist enveloping Chu Ci and Chen Xuanyu, Qi Jiang could only suppress his anger and leave helplessly.

Chu Ci picked up the Blood Sea Crimson Lotus and swallowed it in one gulp. The Blood Sea Crimson Lotus transformed into pure energy within her body, surging into her limbs and bones.

In that instant, Chu Ci felt as if a raging fire was burning within him.

Chu Ci activated the Taiji Qiankun Dao and began absorbing the energy of the Blood Sea Crimson Lotus.

The energy of the Blood Sea Crimson Lotus gradually merged into the flesh and blood of Chu Ci.

An hour and a half later, Chu Ci opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of blood. He had already absorbed all the energy of the Blood Sea Crimson Lotus.

Chu Ci clenched his fist, feeling the surging power and churning blood within his body, and felt an irrepressible joy in his heart.

Moreover, Chu Ci's soul power also rose two levels from level 46 to level 48, and it was not far from level 49.

……

Spring has passed and autumn has come; in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed since Chu Ci was tempered in the Red Sea Trench.

The waterfall of blood surged down, and Chu Ci danced beneath it with his sword, the sword shadows overlapping and the sword intent surging, inspiring awe in all who beheld him.

Chen Xuanyu, who had just finished training under the Blood Waterfall, looked at Chu Ci and clicked his tongue in amazement, "Practicing swordsmanship under the Blood Waterfall is unprecedented since the Red Sea Trench was established."

At this moment, Chu Ci slightly closed her eyes, her entire mind focused on the Heavenly Candle in her hand, entering a profound and mysterious state.

Chu Ci stood on the Seven Stars, his sword like a swimming dragon, and his domineering, self-centered sword intent slowly rose, gradually filling the entire blood waterfall and spreading to the entire trial ground.

Chen Xuanyu's expression changed drastically, and he had no choice but to retreat repeatedly in the face of this domineering sword intent.

When he had retreated to the point where he had nowhere left to retreat, and was about to fall out of the trial grounds, the scattered sword intent of "I Am Alone" suddenly stopped.

The next moment, the overwhelming sword intent of "I Am Alone" surged towards the waterfall of blood like a tidal wave. To be precise, it surged towards Chu Ci himself.

Meanwhile, Chu Ci had already sat cross-legged, with the Heavenly Candle inserted in front of him, and was deep in meditation.

At this moment, deep within Chu Ci's soul, a sword appeared, a sword that possessed only form but no intent.

Chu Ci stared blankly at the sword, sensing that when the sword was completed, he would step into the next realm of swordsmanship.

Since it has form but no meaning, let's give it meaning.

With a thought, Chu Ci urged the sword intent of "I Am the Sword" to surge into the sword like ten thousand rivers flowing into the sea, filling it with its essence.

As Chen Xuanyu returned to the edge of the Bloodfall with the surging sword intent of "Only I". He had only glanced at Chu Ci, who was deep in meditation, when his eyes felt as if they had been pierced by a sharp sword, and he quickly closed them in fright.

The next moment, he secretly used his mental energy to investigate Chu Ci's situation. But as soon as his mental energy approached Chu Ci, it was sliced ​​to pieces by the sword intent.

After a long while, he felt the sharp sword intent emanating from Chu Ci gradually dissipate and finally return to silence.

If the Chu Ci of the past was a peerless sword with its sharp edge fully revealed, then the present one is a divine sword with its edge hidden in its sheath.

At this moment, Chen Xuanyu secretly lifted his right eyelid and found that there was no stinging sensation, so he boldly lifted his left eyelid.

As Chen Xuanyu looked at Chu Ci, who was motionless as if in deep meditation, and was wondering whether he should go over to check on him, Chu Ci suddenly opened his eyes.

The divine sword hidden in its sheath was drawn once more, bringing with it an even more domineering and self-centered sword intent.

Chu Ci drew his sword and stood up, holding it horizontally in front of him. He took a deep breath, focusing his energy in his dantian, and imbued his soul with the sword's intent.

The next moment, the sword moved with his will, and Chu Ci swept out with a single move.

This sweeping attack was simple and straightforward, without any fancy techniques, but the sense of oppression it brought was stronger than any previous time Chu Ci released her sword intent.

Although the crescent-shaped sword light was not aimed at Chen Xuanyu, it still made his heart tremble, his body go weak, and he stood frozen in place, unable to move.

As the sword light flashed, the blood waterfall suddenly broke in two. Only my sword intent remained at the broken point, preventing it from returning to its original state.

It wasn't until ten seconds later that the blood waterfall, which had been broken in two, merged back together and surged down the cliff once more.

Chen Xuanyu stared in disbelief at the scene, muttering, "My goodness, even a blood waterfall rich in blood can be cut in two. How did Old Chu get stronger again?"

Chu Ci sheathed his sword and stood there, slowly exhaling as he savored the feeling he had just experienced. Was this the realm of sword soul?

The Heavenly Candle detached from Chu Ci's grasp and danced in mid-air. A domineering sword intent surged forth, as the Heavenly Candle demonstrated to its master that it too had comprehended a sword spirit.

Chu Ci sensed the joy and excitement of Tianzhu after comprehending the sword soul, and couldn't help but chuckle twice. He touched Tianzhu's sword and said softly, "It's really been tough for you to comprehend the sword soul only now."
