Chapter 48

Boom!

The demon spirit of the Azure Python entered Jiang Chen’s body, and the surging energy within it immediately spread out, causing Jiang Chen’s body to tremble. Soon, Jiang Chen’s body trembled even more violently, his brows furrowed slightly, and sweat trickled down his face.

The demon spirit of the Azure Python was not just a simple form of energy; the most terrifying thing was the potent poison it contained. The green liquid spread out, its strong corrosiveness aiming to penetrate Jiang Chen’s internal organs.

At this moment, Jiang Chen could only fully activate the Dragon Transformation Art. The dragon patterns enveloped the green liquid completely, devouring it in the blink of an eye. However, Jiang Chen clearly felt that the dragon patterns did not directly refine the green liquid this time.

Buzz...

In the sea of qi, energy surged. The late-stage Sea of Qi realm Azure Python was far from the mid-stage Sea of Qi realm beast from before, possessing vast energy. Under the Dragon Transformation Art, this energy was quickly absorbed by Jiang Chen. The sixth dragon pattern clearly condensed, the blood-colored dragon pattern vibrating joyfully. Not only that, the seventh dragon pattern also manifested as a faint shadow. Jiang Chen’s strength advanced further, and he was not far from the late-stage Sea of Qi realm.

After the sixth and seventh dragon patterns condensed, the changes did not end. In a corner of Jiang Chen’s sea of qi, a cluster of green energy suddenly appeared. The green energy cluster, about the size of a fist, continuously wriggled, coexisting peacefully with the dragon patterns and Jiang Chen’s primordial energy in the sea of qi.

"This is the Azure Python’s intrinsic poison. Ha, the Dragon Transformation Art is indeed terrifying, actually absorbing the poison. Let’s see if I can use it."

Jiang Chen was overjoyed. With a thought, the green energy cluster immediately responded, pulsating violently.

Jiang Chen extended a finger, and a green light flickered at the tip. The light was odorless, without the stench of the Azure Python. Jiang Chen suddenly pointed, and the green light transformed into a sharp sword, striking a tree in front of him.

Sizzle...

The green light pierced into the tree, leaving a hole the size of a thumb. Immediately, the inside of the tree emitted a sizzling corrosive sound, and green smoke rose. Soon, the lower part of the tree turned completely black, devoid of life. Jiang Chen casually struck the tree with a burst of primordial energy, and the tree collapsed, the broken part inside being nothing but black residue.

"What terrifying poison. With this trump card, it’s like killing someone without a trace. More and faster chapters are available at [website]."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but be delighted. This was the feared poison of the Azure Python, now under his control, a lethal killing move.

In his previous life, Jiang Chen had faced off against the Poison King, Du Qianchou. Even with his unparalleled skills, he had been severely injured by the Poison King’s poison, nearly losing his life. If he had practiced the Dragon Transformation Art in his previous life, the Poison King would have posed no threat to him.

"Quite a bountiful harvest."

Jiang Chen was elated, ignoring the corpse of the Azure Python on the ground, and continued towards the front of the mountain range.

Not far away was a valley, with a faint white mist floating above it. The valley was quiet, and Jiang Chen’s divine sense swept through it, finding no movement. Of course, Jiang Chen’s divine sense was still very weak, and the range it could detect was limited. Covering an entire valley was impossible. More and faster chapters are available at [website].

"Let’s go in and take a look."

Jiang Chen leaped into the valley, finding that the ground was uneven, making it difficult to walk.

Jiang Chen, light as a swallow, leaped over the uneven ground and arrived at the entrance of a cave. The cave was pitch black, emitting a damp and cold aura. Jiang Chen’s divine sense swept through it, finding nothing.

However, with his high skills, Jiang Chen was bold enough to enter the cave, hoping to find some treasure.

Jiang Chen walked into the damp cave, taking only a few steps forward when he suddenly shivered, feeling as if he was being watched by a pair of eyes in the darkness. More and faster chapters are available at [website].

Suddenly, Jiang Chen turned his head and saw something crouching not far to the left, its bright eyes staring at him intently. He had indeed been watched.

Jiang Chen saw that the creature was entirely golden, without a single mixed hair, resembling a horse but not quite, and a dog but not quite. It was fat, much larger than an ordinary dog but smaller than an ordinary horse. Given its more dog-like appearance, Jiang Chen considered it a dog.

"There’s clearly a dog here, but my divine sense didn’t detect it."

Jiang Chen was startled, immediately respecting the golden dog more. With his abilities, even without divine sense, nothing could escape his perception at such close range.

What surprised Jiang Chen even more was that he couldn’t discern the true cultivation level of the golden dog with his keen eyesight.

Whoosh!

In a daze, the golden dog suddenly moved, opening its massive mouth to bite Jiang Chen.

It was too fast, like a bolt of lightning. Jiang Chen was startled and quickly dodged, but the golden dog reacted just as quickly, biting Jiang Chen’s buttock.

"Damn..."

Jiang Chen screamed, pulling at his neck. What the hell, he, the First Sage of the world, had been bitten by a dog, and on his buttock. If this got out, how could he face people?

"Dead dog, get lost."

Jiang Chen, feeling the pain in his buttock, turned and struck with a palm. His speed was already fast, but the golden dog’s speed was even faster, its mouth lightning-fast leaving Jiang Chen’s buttock and darting to the side.

"Phew, phew, your buttock is so hard? Damn, it chipped my teeth, phew!"

The golden dog spat continuously, leaving Jiang Chen stunned. The dog could actually speak? Damn, a talking dog.

Ordinary demon beasts could only speak after forming a Heavenly Core and reaching the Heavenly Core realm. Some rare beasts with powerful bloodlines could only transform into human form after reaching the Divine Core realm or even higher. In any case, the Heavenly Core realm was the minimum requirement. The latest updates are available at [website].

The dog in front of him was definitely not a Heavenly Core realm expert; if it were, Jiang Chen wouldn’t be standing there.

What a peculiar thing!

Jiang Chen, while rubbing his buttock, examined the golden dog. His body, strengthened by the Dragon Transformation Art, was as tough as iron. When the golden dog bit him, he didn’t dodge but immediately channeled thick primordial energy to the bitten area, so the golden dog didn’t harm him.

"Is this dog the one the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples are searching for from afar?"

Jiang Chen’s eyes widened; the dog in front of him looked very similar to the one described by the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples. The latest updates are available at [website].

"Boy, you have vigorous blood and a strong body, you must be a great tonic. Stand still, let me eat you."

The golden dog stared at Jiang Chen and said.

Jiang Chen almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Damn, this dog wanted to eat him and could speak with such confidence. What a nerve!

"You, this fat and tender dog, if cooked, would surely taste delicious."

Jiang Chen smiled, his eyes roving over the golden dog.

"Boy, what did you say? You dare call me fat? Damn, this is called robust, understand? I can tolerate being called fat, but you dare call me tender? Where am I tender? How am I tender? Damn, if you call me tender, I can’t stand it. I will eat you, eat you."

The golden dog jumped up, furious.

Jiang Chen, on the other side, gaped in shock. He had only said the dog was fat and tender, and the dog had such a strong reaction.

Whoosh~

The golden dog was really angry. Because someone called him fat and tender, he was furious, and golden light overflowed from his body. His eyes glowed with a fierce light, and he swore to eat the boy who called him tender.

Jiang Chen’s expression changed. He felt a sacred aura, a bloodline aura. If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn’t have noticed, but Jiang Chen, being a sage, had seen all kinds of rare beasts. This dog was definitely not ordinary.

Moreover, the dragon patterns in his sea of qi trembled slightly at the sacred aura.

"Dragon Horse? This dog is actually a descendant of the Dragon Horse. Damn, this is a big catch."

Jiang Chen was instantly overjoyed. He could see that the dog had the bloodline of the ancient Dragon Horse, a descendant of the divine dragon and the celestial horse, with very few existing even in ancient times.

He didn’t expect to find a descendant of the Dragon Horse here. No wonder the dog looked like a horse, but a descendant of the Dragon Horse looking like a dog was truly bizarre.

"If I can kill this dog and absorb its bloodline, the Dragon Transformation Art will grow to an unimaginable level, undergoing a fundamental change, and I will gain the innate abilities of the Dragon Horse."

Jiang Chen was extremely excited. He had to kill this dog and drink its blood.

Thus, the man and the dog, one wanting to eat the other and the other wanting to drink blood, faced off in the cave.

Whoosh~

The golden dog attacked, like a golden bolt of lightning, reaching Jiang Chen in an instant. This time, the golden dog didn’t open its mouth but used its head, aiming to knock Jiang Chen dead.

"Hmph!"

Jiang Chen coldly snorted, secretly cursing the golden dog as an idiot. Why use its head to attack? Wasn’t that suicide? The golden dog’s speed was extremely fast, and an ordinary person wouldn’t even have a chance to react. But who was Jiang Chen? He had been bitten by the golden dog by accident before, but that wouldn’t happen again.

The dragon patterns in his sea of qi vibrated, and Jiang Chen punched with all his might, his iron-hard fist colliding heavily with the golden dog’s head.

Clang!

The collision produced a sound like striking metal, sparks flying. Under the immense shock, both the golden dog and Jiang Chen were pushed back.
