Mysterious mirror hanging high

The sky is clear and the sea is vast, with turbulent undercurrents and a deep, dark abyss that is difficult to perceive.

Jing Yu and his group cautiously explored the edge of the marshland for several days, hunting down several fused sea beasts with considerable aura and obtaining several pieces of blood amber of decent quality, but they did not find any particularly powerful dragon species.

"Dragons are proud, and even in this marshland, their fused beasts tend to stay where spiritual energy gathers or where water veins converge, rather than lingering in shallow water."

Qiu Xu analyzed, his gaze constantly scanning the depths of the swamp: "We need to go deeper..."

The demons followed the instructions and continued to wade into the depths of the marshland, where they indeed made an unexpected discovery.

The once calm, azure waters ahead suddenly began to churn violently, as if a colossal creature was stirring up waves underwater.

Immediately afterwards, a high-pitched, majestic, and violent dragon roar pierced through the water and exploded with a deafening roar!

wow-

The water in front of them suddenly exploded, and amidst the spray, a huge, ferocious head, as large as a small mountain, burst out of the water!

This is a dragon!

It was over a hundred feet long, its body covered with fine, dark scales, with a dragon horn on its head that was not yet fully formed, and its eyes as big as lanterns, shimmering with a reddish-gold light.

Its blood energy soared into the sky like smoke from a wolf's beak, stirring up the clouds above and creating a huge whirlpool in the water below.

That immense pressure was actually at the level that Qiu Xu had warned him about before, comparable to a first-stage immortal!

"It's a Black Scale Unicorn Dragon! Judging from the concentration of its blood energy, it's definitely one of the best among the fusion beasts of the dragon type in this world. The probability that its blood amber contains the inheritance of the dragon race is extremely high!"

Qiu Xu was not surprised but delighted, his eyes blazing with intense light.

"Fellow Daoist Bai Yuan, is this feasible?"

Jing Yu stared at the dark dragon before her, remaining relatively calm: "No problem..."

Qiu Xu's dozens of mixed-blood dragon guards formed a battle formation, surrounding Qiu Xu in the center. Niu Dahang and Ma Zoutian also raised their weapons, ready for battle.

Guo Tingshu, on the other hand, was empty-handed and somewhat slow to react. Stimulated by the blood energy of the black dragon, he also came to his senses and quickly used a defensive secret technique he had recently learned, which imitated the Xuan Turtle, and shrank to the side.

Jing Yu, on the other hand, stepped forward alone, unleashing a pure and righteous dragon's aura without reservation!

Under the pressure of the dragon's might, the Mo Lin Unicorn Flood Dragon's aura weakened. Even though its physical body was stronger than Jing Yu's, it clearly showed fear at this moment.

"The power of the true dragon is really useful." Jing Yu thought to herself, "It's fine for other races, but for the dragon race, especially the mixed-blood dragon descendants, when stimulated by the power of the true dragon, they can only exert 80% of their full cultivation. No wonder Qiu Xu insisted on inviting me to the Demon Refining Realm to hunt dragon fusion beasts."

In terms of combat power, the black dragon before him was comparable to a first-stage immortal. Although it was much stronger than a perfect Mahayana cultivator, it was still far from the enormous gap between immortals and mortals.

With the support of his bloodline power, Jing Yu's foundation is already at the Great Ascension Perfection stage. It would be difficult for a Celestial Immortal to defeat him, but if he went all out, defeating a Second Tribulation Loose Immortal shouldn't be too much of a problem.

If Ran Shou were to fight with all his might, he might be able to put up a fight against a Three Tribulations Loose Immortal.

This is even with three auxiliary life beads embedded in his body.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, dark golden dragon blood shot into the sky, dyeing the surrounding waters a golden-red color.

Jing Yu's palm plunged deep into the dragon's head, shattering its last vestiges of life.

The massive body of the Ink-Scaled Unicorn Dragon finally lost all its power and crashed into the water, creating a hundred-foot-high wave.

After the waves subsided, the dragon's corpse began to rapidly disintegrate, turning into a thick, blood-red mist. Eventually, it condensed on the sea surface into a strange blood amber, about the size of a fist, with a dark gold color and a phantom image of a one-horned dragon swirling and moving on its surface. The energy fluctuations it emitted far exceeded any of the previous pieces.

Qiu Xu and his guards breathed a sigh of relief, their gazes towards Jing Yu filled with shock.

Although they already knew that this pure-blooded dragon descendant named Bai Yuan was unfathomably powerful, seeing him so cleanly and decisively, almost overwhelmingly, eliminate a black-scaled unicorn dragon comparable to a first-stage immortal still made them tremble with fear.

Jing Yu stood on the waves, and with a wave of his hand, the dark golden dragon blood amber flew into his hand. It was warm and heavy to the touch, and the faint sound of a dragon's roar echoed in the blood amber.

He placed the blood amber on his forehead, and smiled slightly after a moment.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, let's take a look at the inheritance within this blood amber."

Jing Yu tossed the blood amber to Qiu Xu, her tone calm, as if she had just done something insignificant.

Qiu Xu quickly took it, carefully placed it on his forehead, and after a moment, a look of wild joy appeared on his face:

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! It truly is the Dragon Clan's secret technique—the [Mysterious Netherworld Sea-Covering Technique]! Although not a direct descendant of true dragons, it is still a top-tier dragon-attribute cultivation method, even among True Immortal inheritances! Furthermore, it contains several powerful offensive and water-controlling divine abilities... Fellow Daoist Bai Yuan, this inheritance..."

“Since I promised Fellow Daoist Qiu that I would search for the Dragon Clan’s heritage for you, this Blood Amber naturally belongs to Fellow Daoist Qiu,” Jing Yu said casually.

This was something that had been agreed upon beforehand, and it was part of his promise. Jing Yu had no need to fall out with Qiu Xu over a true immortal inheritance.

"Fellow Daoist Bai Yuan is truly a dragon of integrity!" Qiu Xu said gratefully.

No wonder it was feeling uneasy before.

The inheritance within this high-grade blood amber is different from the common inheritances obtained in the outer reaches of the Demon Refining Realm. It possesses a certain degree of uniqueness, and generally only the first cultivator to receive the inheritance can obtain its essence.

Although the cultivators who observed later were also able to practice, without the support of the core divine essence, it was difficult for them to reach the highest level.

After all, from its perspective, the "Fellow Daoist Baiyuan" in front of it is also a dragon. The inheritance that it can cultivate, "Fellow Daoist Baiyuan" can only cultivate better than it!

boom--

Jing Yu's ears twitched at that moment, and she suddenly looked into the distance.

"Did you hear anything?"

Qiu Xu and the others looked at each other and said, "What was that sound? We didn't hear anything."

Rumbling--

Jing Yu understood: "That's right, [Longevity and Vision] also has the effects of sharpening hearing and eyesight, and enhancing the five senses. Since divine sense is sealed here, only the senses can be used. I can see and hear farther than them, which is why I can hear this sound."

So he pointed in a direction and said, "There's some noise over there. I wonder what's going on. Should we go check it out?"

"Great!" Qiu Xu said excitedly, "Maybe other demon races are hunting fusion beasts... The more Blood Amber the better. Hunting fusion beasts one by one is too slow. It's much faster to steal Blood Amber from other demon races' bags!"

Without further hesitation, the demons followed Jing Yu, riding the waves as if walking on flat ground, and quickly ran in that direction.
