Chapter 57

"Want to run?"

With a sweep of his large sleeve, an unmatched force of wind tore through the sky, instantly breaking through the raging flames. He merely shifted his form and immediately escaped from the intense explosion.

Staring at the distant fiery rainbow that fled like a meteor, Jun Wuming’s eyes turned cold, and he let out a light snort. The speed of the Red-robed Elder’s final explosive burst, which cost him his life, was truly too swift, even faster than the Blood Escape technique by a margin. It was not something he could currently catch up to, leaving him to sigh in frustration!

Missing one, leaving behind a future threat! Jun Wuming was naturally not pleased! With a glance, he saw the remaining few streaks of fire in the sky. His eyes turned inexplicably cold, and a bone-chilling aura began to gather in his palm.

It was as if the breath of a frozen hell had leaked out, and boundless freezing light converged in his hand. Visible to the naked eye, the freezing cloud light swirled like an endless sea!

Strange phenomena shook, and the sky turned icy!

"Canghai Xuanbing Spell! Go!"

With a fierce shout, the boundless Xuanbing aura in his palm instantly erupted, resembling a nimble Xuanbing dragon with fierce horns. The cold light flashed, and the air froze, leaving trails of bright white ice.

The ice shot out like arrows, reaching its target in the blink of an eye!

Boom!

A dull explosion!

The few streaks of fire in the sky had not yet reacted when they were instantly frozen by the swift Xuanbing aura, turning into blocks of thousand-year-old ice that fell to the ground with a loud crash!

The Canghai Xuanbing Spell was an upgraded version of the third-tier ice spell Xuanbing Spell that Jun Wuming possessed. Using the cold ice true intent within his body, he controlled the spell with his mind, which was much stronger than controlling it with qi at the third tier. This spell was no less powerful than a fourth-tier spell, and might even be superior!

"Lord Jun!"

"Lord Jun!"

Two consecutive calls, and Jun Wuming turned to look at Heifeng and Wuzhantian, nodding slightly and asking,

"How are the casualties?"

The two were momentarily silent, but ultimately Wuzhantian’s mental state was slightly better. He awoke from his sorrow, glanced at the black-clothed youth in the air, and said mournfully, "The children are inexperienced in battle, lacking in techniques and defensive methods, resulting in heavy casualties! Currently, our turtle clan has only a thousand left!"

"Less than eight hundred!"

Heifeng’s massive snake body trembled, and he became somewhat agitated for a moment. However, restrained by Jun Wuming’s authority, he did not dare to act recklessly, only enduring it with patience. His red eyes stared at the scattered snake clan members below, feeling an indescribable sadness, which Jun Wuming’s highly sensitive spirit could not fail to sense!

"A total of one thousand eight hundred?"

Jun Wuming’s face darkened. Three thousand two casualties? With a sweep of his large sleeve, he grunted, and three drops of deep red essence blood suddenly appeared in the air.

The red light shone brightly, illuminating all directions.

It looked like a prehistoric beast, suppressing all things. The aura was deep and vast like the sea, and a careful sense seemed to reveal a surging sea within the essence blood!

"True dragon essence blood?"

Wuzhantian and Heifeng were slightly moved, looking at Jun Wuming, whose face was slightly pale, seemingly greatly injured, and they were instantly alarmed!

"Lord?"

Jun Wuming waved his hand, stopping the two agitated demons, and smiled bitterly, "Quickly dissolve the essence blood in clear water and have the men drink it."

"Dragon bodies are treasures, and true dragon essence blood can not only heal wounds and nourish qi but also enhance physical potential. It is highly beneficial for your turtle and snake clans to transform into dragons!"

Seeing the two demons about to speak, Jun Wuming immediately stopped them, shouting, "Go quickly, don’t waste my efforts. We can talk about it later!"

The two demons’ eyes flashed with gratitude, exchanged glances, and immediately responded, retreating.

A black light roared, the aura reverberated, and they instantly descended from the cloud to treat the injuries of the demons. Just from their actions, it was clear that they were now completely loyal, with no second thoughts!

Clap, clap, clap!

Several claps of applause echoed, and Jun Wuming silently cultivated his mystic powers to restore his own essence, seemingly unaware of the applause in the clouds. It was as if he did not see the stunning beauty in white walking through the clouds.

Three drops of essence blood were not a small amount for Jun Wuming. If not properly adjusted, it could leave behind aftereffects, damaging his foundation.

Su Ran’s features were exquisite, her long black hair cascaded down her back, and she wore a white robe that fluttered in the wind. Her demeanor was like a delicate orchid and a cold plum, gentle and refined with a hint of cold pride, making her stunning.

Looking at the black-clothed youth before her, Su Ran’s eyes flashed with surprise. This youth seemed very young, but his methods were extremely seasoned. Whether it was the plan to kill Flame Tyrant or the current act of winning hearts, he did not act like a young man but rather like a fully grown adult!

With a wave of her hand, a bright light flashed, and she instantly extracted a bright, fiery gem from the black-clothed youth’s chest.

Gently caressing the slightly warm gem in her hand, Su Ran’s phoenix eyes twinkled, and she suddenly smiled, making the entire sky seem to burst into unparalleled light, clear and beautiful!

Her jade hand moved slightly, and white light blossomed like a cold plum, forming patterns in the sky, like a flower of light, pure and clear, elegant and graceful, with a touch of refined fragrance!

Her white dress fluttered, like a goddess of light, revealing her exquisite figure as the hem of her dress swayed, creating a wave of charm!

Looking at the black-clothed youth before her, with his clear features and arched eyebrows, his eyes sparkling, she felt drawn to him. Although he had not fully grown, the hint of heroism and stubbornness in his eyes was irresistible. She gently touched his cheek, feeling warmth and vitality, just like his embrace.

"Since you have fallen into my arms, you must not die!"

"Save you!"

Her eyes were hazy, as if the words were still echoing in her ears. She smiled, suddenly becoming clear, as if mocking herself or sighing.

The slightly cool touch made Jun Wuming sense something, his eyelids fluttered, as if he was about to wake up! Su Ran sighed, released her hand, and instantly

turned into a white light, disappearing into the clouds!

..

Jun Wuming’s eyes suddenly opened. Recovering the essence blood in his body was not easy. Essence blood involves the body’s source, and any loss of the source cannot be quickly replenished. Fortunately, Jun Wuming still had a portion of the cave heaven source within him. With this cave heaven source, Jun Wuming only needed to carefully absorb and refine it to gradually strengthen his foundation and replenish the lost essence blood.

The clouds were bright, and the white light was blinding.

Suddenly, his eyes flickered with a bright light, and he felt a sense of awareness.

"Ten Thousand Saints Central Capital?"

With a wave of his hand, a small, luminous lotus platform appeared in his palm. Upon contact, a message instantly entered his mind.

On the continent, there are cities, divided into villages, small towns, large cities, major cities, ancient cities, royal cities, and divine capitals! A royal city is also known as a central capital, and one that can be called the Ten Thousand Saints Central Capital, Jun Wuming could not imagine how vast and magnificent it must be.

According to Jun Wuming’s knowledge, even an ordinary major city is as large as a province from his previous life. A royal city, naturally, should be even larger. And Su Ran seemed to be a figure from a certain faction in the Ten Thousand Saints Central Capital.

To be able to survive and establish oneself in the Ten Thousand Saints Central Capital...

He smiled bitterly, just imagining it made his head ache! Then his eyes flashed with a fierce light, as long as he did not die, relying on his talent, effort, and opportunities, he would surely one day ascend to the divine throne and be worshipped by all.

Central Capital? Dead things! How can they block my path!

..

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a huge dragon roar echoed through the sky.

Jun Wuming’s brows furrowed, and he looked down, his eyes flashing with a hint of joy.

Visible to the naked eye, a several-zhang-long red giant snake was writhing on the ground. Grass and leaves flew, and the powerful force swept away towering ancient trees, leaving trails of deep red blood and broken red snake scales and skin.

Amidst the cries, they were not the hisses of a snake but the roar of a dragon, powerful and domineering, like the roar of a tiger in the mountains, as if it were the ruler of the forest, suppressing all things with a single roar.

Red light shot up into the sky, surrounded by blood light.

Jun Wuming’s spirit scanned the area, and he instantly understood the situation below. This red Chiyan venomous snake had clearly consumed the dragon blood within Jun Wuming’s body, activating the bloodline power within its body, transforming into a dragon-like snake. However, the red light it emitted was not of the fire element but a highly toxic force.

This red Chiyan giant snake actually possessed the bloodline power of a venomous dragon!
