Chapter 57

At this moment, Yun Che seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, even the extreme weakness from the massive blood loss had vanished without a trace.

He walked to the side of the corpse of the Flame Dragon, which had been split into four pieces, and for a moment, he didn’t know where to start.

Jasmine was right; the corpse of this Flame Dragon was... no, to anyone in the Cangfeng Empire, including the four major sects with their immense influence, it was a treasure trove!!!

This was a King Profound Beast, and a true dragon! As the supreme among beasts, at the same level, everything about a dragon far surpassed other Profound Beasts. Its skin, flesh, blood, bones, horns, eyes, wings, and internal organs... all were treasures among treasures. The strongest beings to appear in the Cangfeng Continent were at the King Profound Realm, meaning that this Flame Dragon might very well be the first King Profound Beast to be killed in a very long time! In this case, the value of this Flame Dragon’s corpse was immeasurable.

Especially its Profound Core. For a Heavenly Profound Dragon’s Profound Core, the Heaven Burning Sect had no hesitation in mobilizing five Heavenly Profound experts to travel a thousand miles to this place. As for a King Profound Dragon’s Profound Core, they probably didn’t even dare to dream of it.

The Flame Dragon’s body weighed at least a hundred tons. Such a massive body, even when split into four pieces, still resembled four small mountains. Yun Che took out a not very sharp short knife from the Heavenly Poison Pearl, which he had brought from the Xiao Sect, and tentatively cut into the Flame Dragon’s corpse. There was a dull sound, and the blade bent directly, leaving only a shallow mark on the Flame Dragon’s corpse.

This Flame Dragon’s body, which even the Heaven Burning Sect’s Heavenly Profound experts’ Heaven Burning Blades couldn’t cut through, how could it be cut by Yun Che with an ordinary small knife?

However... a body so terrifyingly strong, and previously protected by the Flame Dragon’s power, was actually instantly cut into four pieces by Jasmine... Thinking of that scene, Yun Che couldn’t help but shiver. Even if Jasmine had started cultivating from the womb, she was at most only thirteen or fourteen years old. How did she reach such a terrifying realm... Those various "world-class geniuses" of the Cangfeng Empire were nothing compared to Jasmine.

"His skin and flesh, you can’t cut. However, the place where his Profound Core is located should have been cut open by this princess. Go to the end of its cervical vertebra and take a look," Jasmine’s voice echoed in Yun Che’s mind.

Yun Che put away the small knife and went to the position Jasmine pointed to. On the bloody cross-section of the Flame Dragon’s corpse, he saw a glaring crimson light.

That was...

Yun Che quickly jumped up, his hand accurately grabbing the crimson light. When he landed, he had a round bead in his hand, about a third the size of his palm.

The Flame Dragon’s Profound Core!

This was something that could drive the entire Cangfeng Continent into a frenzy!

However, it was useless to the current Yun Che, because if he dared to directly refine and absorb its power, there would be only one result... death by explosion!

Having obtained the Profound Core, Yun Che was basically helpless with the other parts of the Flame Dragon, so he moved them all into the Heavenly Poison Pearl. The spatial rings of the Heavenly Profound Continent were extremely expensive and generally had only a few cubic meters of space, which was impossible to accommodate the Flame Dragon’s corpse. But the Heavenly Poison Pearl contained boundless space, and even if the Flame Dragon’s corpse were ten times larger, he could easily store it without any pressure.

Seeing Yun Che finish dealing with the Flame Dragon’s corpse, Jasmine said seriously, "For the next month, don’t leave the Red Dragon Mountains. In these Red Dragon Mountains, you must kill at least five Ninth-Level Ordinary Beasts or First-Level Lesser Profound Beasts every day. And during this period, don’t try to break through, but instead, stabilize your current Profound Energy to the maximum extent."

"Alright!" Yun Che nodded. Suddenly advancing from Fourth-Level Initial Profound to First-Level Entry Profound, he indeed needed some time to adapt and stabilize his surging Profound Energy. "By the way, you said you would teach me a Profound Skill?"

"With your current Profound Energy, there is only one Profound Skill this princess can teach you."

"What is it?"

"Star God Shattered Shadow!" Jasmine slowly said the name: "This is a movement Profound Skill. In its initial stage, it requires only a small amount of Profound Energy to activate."

"Movement Profound Skill?" Yun Che was slightly disappointed: "No attack-type Profound Skills?"

"None of the attack-type Profound Skills this princess possesses can be cultivated by you at your current level. Although 'Star God Shattered Shadow' is a movement Profound Skill, don’t underestimate it. Once 'Star God Shattered Shadow' is unleashed, speed will burst out in an instant, so fast that even the afterimage won’t have time to fade. If you can cultivate the initial level of 'Star God Shattered Shadow,' you can face two opponents of the same level without losing. If you cultivate it to its peak, even if the opponent is three to five levels higher, they won’t be able to easily defeat you."

Jasmine’s last words made Yun Che’s blood boil: "And, this is the only movement Profound Skill this princess possesses!"

What kind of existence was Jasmine? The strength of her only movement Profound Skill was unimaginable. Yun Che immediately nodded: "Alright, I’ll learn! Um... let’s start now!"

Jasmine didn’t refuse, saying indifferently, "To cultivate 'Star God Shattered Shadow,' you must have extremely high insight. If your insight is sufficient, you can achieve a small success in three months. If your insight is insufficient, you will never be able to cultivate it. Whether you can learn it and to what extent depends on your own insight."

"This princess is currently mentally weak and must rest in the Heavenly Poison Pearl as soon as possible. This princess will first tell you the way to circulate Profound Energy and the key points when activating 'Star God Shattered Shadow,' as well as the corresponding incantations... After that, it’s up to you."

"Alright." Yun Che nodded seriously, sat down on the spot, and began to listen to Jasmine’s explanation. This Flame Dragon cave, nearby residents and Profound Beasts dared not approach, and those people from the Heaven Burning Sect were probably scared out of their wits and wouldn’t dare to come back. Therefore, Yun Che didn’t need to worry about being disturbed here.

'Star God Shattered Shadow'... This was the first Profound Skill Yun Che cultivated in this world. However, he had no idea what the term "Star God" truly meant.

...

One month later, in the Red Dragon Mountains.

It had just rained, the air was fresh and humid, and the branches and leaves were dripping with water. At this moment, with the rustling of the grass, all the birds on the ground were startled and flew away. Soon, the grass parted, and a gray wolf, taller than a person, slowly walked out, its eyes filled with ferocity.

As a First-Level Lesser Profound Beast, its prey in the Red Dragon Mountains far outnumbered its threats. Because of the gray wolf’s existence, Initial Profound cultivators never dared to enter this area alone.

Soon, a prey appeared in its sight, a black-clothed youth walking towards it, his steps light and slow, a smile on his face, still retaining a hint of innocence. It seemed he hadn’t noticed that he was being watched by a pair of terrifying eyes. He walked closer and closer...

Whoosh!!

The gray wolf shot out of the grass like a bolt of lightning. The burst of a wolf was terrifying, and even a True Profound cultivator, if caught off guard by a gray wolf’s sudden attack, would have almost no chance of dodging. In the gray wolf’s sight, it was getting closer and closer to its target, its teeth already aimed at his throat, and it bit down fiercely...

Bang!!

A situation the gray wolf didn’t expect occurred. It had clearly touched the human’s body, about to knock him to the ground and bite his throat, but in the next instant, its entire body passed through him and fell to the ground with a thud.

Only at this moment did the youth’s image disappear, and a punch filled with Profound Energy landed heavily on the gray wolf’s head from the right side, smashing it with a惨叫, blood gushing from all seven orifices, and it fainted directly.

Yun Che patted his hands, not even glancing at the unconscious gray wolf, and continued walking forward.

"Stabilizing the first level of 'Star God Shattered Shadow' in just one month! You wasted your insight by being crippled for sixteen years!" Jasmine couldn’t help but say. She had thought Yun Che would need at least three months to achieve the first level, but unexpectedly, in just one month, he had made some progress and could freely use the first level of 'Star God Shattered Shadow.'

[These past few days, the updates have been very late, and I should have made everyone wait and read uncomfortably... I apologize deeply. It’s not that I don’t have time to write during the day, but I’ve been stuck in a rut recently. I’ve been stuck to the point of wanting to die. The outline for the early, middle, and even late parts of the story is very clear, but this small section of the plot has been troubling me for many days.]

[According to my original plan, Yun Che would leave the Red Dragon Mountains, then enter the Crescent Moon City, and then join the Crescent Moon Profound Mansion for various reasons. But the problem is... the story is already approaching 200,000 words, but the protagonist, apart from the small outburst when he beat Xiao Yulong with the Star Concealment Pill, has either been enduring in silence or relying on the protection of women (first Xia Qingyue, then Jasmine). From a reader’s perspective, and according to my taste, it’s simply unbearable that the protagonist hasn’t shown his true strength and dominated others for so long. And after entering Crescent Moon City, there would be a period of calm according to the original setting, and I’m very worried that this calm period would wear out everyone’s last bit of patience. If you’ve read my previous books, you’ll know that my protagonists are always arrogant from the beginning to the end. Writing to this point without a true outburst, even I can’t bear it!!]

[So, I’ve been working very hard to think about how to write the next part to make everyone read comfortably, rather than find it boring. This means I have to temporarily change some of the previous settings... For this, I’ve been pulling my hair for a day. Then, the problem came... Every time I pull my hair and touch a metal doorknob, there’s a 'snap' of static electricity! Is this the legendary lightning-type ability? Damn, I actually have an ability! Do you think I’ll be taken as a lab rat~~ Ah ah ah... I’m so scared~~ Scared to the point that I can’t even write...]
