Chapter 40

The "Azure Dragon Lock" attacks anyone who enters the Azure Ruins without permission, even if the Dean of the Academy comes here, there would be no exception.

However, there is one type of person who can avoid being attacked by the "Azure Dragon Lock," and that is the person who achieves a 100% fusion with their Dragon Jade during each Azure Dragon's roar. Such a person is also known as the inheritor of the Azure Dragon bloodline, undoubtedly possessing a part of the Azure Dragon bloodline's power. Throughout the generations of Azure Dragon inheritors, such people are few, and each one is the strongest contender for the Azure Dragon King's position.

If those who obtain the Dragon Jade are considered lucky, then those who awaken part of the Azure Dragon bloodline are the heaven-sent talents, geniuses among geniuses. Half of the Azure Dragon Kings throughout history have been such Azure Dragon bloodline awakeners, who can fully unleash the power of the Dragon Jade to its 100% limit, making them special participants in the competition for the Azure Dragon King's position, akin to being chosen ones.

Even if they do not ultimately obtain the Azure Dragon King's position, they are still the darlings of the seas and mountains. The Azure Dragon bloodline is one of the most powerful bloodlines in the seas and mountains, and even partial awakening is enough to dominate the seas.

"This time, a remarkable new student has arrived. Let's bet on how long he can stay in the first level of the trial." Cang Hai Tian, finally having someone to pass the time with, was eager to place a bet.

"I bet ten spirit stones for one hour!" Cang Hai Long followed suit.

"Fifteen spirit stones for three hours." Cang Hai Tian felt the new student wouldn't be that simple and tripled the time.

"Then I bet twenty spirit stones until tomorrow morning!" Cang Hai Jiao didn't specify the exact number of hours but bet all his possessions.

Then, the three of them began to focus on the crystal that indicated the trial participant's location.

...

"Drip! Drip!"

The sound of rain continuously echoed in Mei Xue's ears.

It was red, vivid, and shocking.

With a hiss, dozens of blood-patterned pythons, each over ten meters long, slithered toward Mei Xue from all directions, leaving scorch marks wherever their massive bodies brushed past.

Silently, a giant spider in the sky unfurled its web, with transparent spider silk spreading out, faintly revealing a strange pattern. It was a naturally formed maze array, a divine power that confuses the mind.

In Mei Xue's ears, a strange melody echoed.

It was soft, clear, and as beautiful as a young girl's song, like a whisper of love that intoxicates.

When did he arrive here? One day, two days, or three days ago?

He couldn't quite remember. It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also felt like he had just stepped into this dangerous area.

Why did he come here? There was only one reason.

He, had acted impulsively.

A silver sword blade drew a wondrous arc, precisely slicing a blood-patterned python that was about to wrap around his body in half.

Due to the speed and accuracy of the cut, the blood-patterned python didn't even realize its body had been split and continued to charge at Mei Xue with great momentum.

Then, a faint, almost inaudible sound rang out, and the entire blood-patterned python was split into two, perfectly divided.

At Mei Xue's feet, the remains of similar pythons had piled up to the point of covering his feet, like a sea of blood.

He couldn't remember where it started, but as he wandered into this strange area, one powerful monster after another appeared before Mei Xue.

The most numerous were these tough-skinned, highly resilient blood-patterned pythons, which are known as the killers of geniuses in the first level of the Azure Ruins.

With their incredibly tough scales and almost no vital points, even if their hearts were pierced, they wouldn't easily die. Their strong vitality and terrifying strength have claimed the lives of countless geniuses from the Azure Dragon Academy.

To defeat these blood-patterned pythons, there was no shortcut; only absolute strength could crush these tough-skinned giants. These blood-patterned pythons are like a touchstone, and those with insufficient strength are only fit to be slaughtered.

However, today, a more terrifying monster appeared before these blood-patterned pythons.

It was a young man who recognized his weakness but refused to accept it, the only "Primordial Seed" with countless possibilities hidden within his body.

Faced with the constant surge of unwillingness, Mei Xue awakened "it," the monster he had consumed.

Thus, Mei Xue began his slaughter with the only weapon he had.

He had never practiced any weapon-based combat techniques, and except for the battle with the Nine Abyss Seed, he had never experienced the terror of life and death.

However, that wasn't a problem.

Because this time, he awakened not the power of the young golden-furred nine-tailed fox but the ability of the Nine Abyss Seed "Seng Luo," which had torn through the defenses of countless cultivators in the seas and mountains, slaughtering the high-ranking elders and lords until rivers of blood flowed.

This silver sword blade was the form "Seng Luo" took in Mei Xue's hands.

The past "Seng Luo" had been completely shattered, and this "Seng Luo" that had been reborn within Mei Xue's body belonged to him, every nerve, every particle.

It was Mei Xue's sword, his anger, his killing intent.

When it awakened within Mei Xue's body, it also became "Mei Xue," the transformed state of the Nine Abyss Seed, wielding the power of infinite slaughter.

This was the second transformation granted to Mei Xue by the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the "Seng Luo Transformation."

The silver crystal sword was the law held by the Nine Abyss Seed "Seng Luo," a cold and merciless sword of slaughter.

When Mei Xue gripped this sword, all emotions except for battle automatically disappeared, and he couldn't even feel anger or sorrow. His black eyes were filled with a calm void.

The power of "Seng Luo" was very pure, a simple hunting force developed to prey on intelligent beings.

Hunting life, hunting all hostile targets, in the concept of "Seng Luo," even the "world" could be destroyed if necessary.

The nightmare of the deep sea, the indescribable terror, the eternal slumbering calamity, none of these could adequately describe "Seng Luo."

Absolute, pure destructive power, merciless slaughter without any extra emotions, this was the essence of "Seng Luo," the nemesis of all life.

The rain continued, and in the red rain, the silver crystal's light seemed especially gentle, and the face reflected on the sword blade appeared calm.

Continue, advance... When the drizzle slowly stopped, Mei Xue looked up and saw the white boundary tower.

Behind him was a path strewn with corpses.

The bodies of blood-patterned pythons, dark magic spiders, and clawed dogs covered the road, and all the wounds were strikingly similar, cut through by a sharp weapon, including their bodies.

Whether it was scales, fur, or spider silk, everything was powerless against the silver crystal sword representing absolute "destruction," a force capable of even destroying the super spirit treasure "Azure Lapis."

It wasn't that the sword was sharp, but the concept of "destruction" represented by the sword caused this terrifying slaughter, a power that defied the laws of the seas and mountains, making it the nemesis of all living beings.

...

At the entrance to the Azure Ruins, the Cang Hai brothers stared at the crystal marking the trial participant's level, unable to speak for a long time.

"Is this a joke? Is this even human!" Cang Hai Tian trembled, pointing at the crystal. In the crystal with eight total slots, the fourth slot was already lit.

What did this mean? It meant that the new student had already passed through the boundary tower and entered the fourth level, a dangerous area that even formal spirit adepts must enter in groups!

"Already to the fourth level, if this is a new student, I'll swallow three spirit stones." Cang Hai Long slammed his spear into the ground and really took out three spirit stones.

"Too fast, fifth level! Who... who is this person!" Seeing the fifth slot light up, even Cang Hai Jiao, who was most optimistic about Mei Xue, changed his expression.

The fifth level, what did that mean! It was already the realm of great cultivators, a forbidden area that only the top spirit adepts who had cultivated a "Dharma Body" could explore.

However, the shock didn't end there. The Cang Hai brothers then witnessed the slot representing the trial participant's position move continuously from the fifth slot.

Sixth slot, seventh slot... When the final eighth slot lit up, the Cang Hai brothers fell into a deathly silence.

Because what was happening before them had already surpassed their understanding.

...

"Clang!" Mei Xue's silver sword finally encountered an enemy that could resist the "destruction" rule.

No, saying one might be incorrect, because it was a sword, a magic sword with a blood-red eye.

A red-black sword body, a bizarre magic eye, and countless runes that seemed to devour the soul.

This was the eighth level of the Azure Ruins, a world known as the "Sword Domain," where countless immortal swords and magic swords were buried, most of which were incomplete, with only a few remaining intact.

The one that appeared before Mei Xue was the king of swords in this level, a magic sword that surpassed the countless immortal swords around it.

The one that blocked Mei Xue's silver sword was another rule, "abyss," which countered the "destruction" rule.

Yes, this was a magic sword made from the body of a Nine Abyss Seed, a cursed magic sword with the "abyss" rule.

However, this sword was no match for Mei Xue, or rather, no match for "Seng Luo," because the "abyss" power it possessed had already reached its limit and was only barely surviving by absorbing the power of other immortal swords in this special environment.

A silver sword light flashed, and Mei Xue stepped into the final level, leaving behind the ashes of the blood-red magic sword.

The ninth level of the Azure Ruins, he had arrived.

Mei Xue's long hair reached his waist, and his silver hair gave him a cold and icy aura.

It was the cold and void that froze the soul, the pure destruction and slaughter that manifested the form of the Nine Abyss.
