Chapter 179: Sweeping the Sea and Sealing the Dragon!

The ocean roared.

With the spreading of the ripples, Xu Qing, sitting cross-legged on the magic ship, slowly trembled. His breathing was even more rapid, and the coldness in his eyes soon turned into madness.

Because, he was hungry!

Unprecedented hunger!

The source of this hunger was partly because his withered flesh and blood body at this moment needed a large amount of replenishment to recover as usual, and this point, even the purple crystal could not help him.

The purple crystal could accelerate the recovery of injuries, but it could not provide him with blood and nutrients out of thin air.

And the other source of hunger was behind Xu Qing!

Behind him was an empty space, looking like there was nothing, but whether it was the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor or the shadow, they were incomparably nervous now. In their perception, behind Xu Qing, there seemed to be great danger and ferocity hidden.

Xu Qing knew that behind him was not empty.

To be precise, what made the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor and the shadow intensely wary and nervous was his back under his clothes, where a totem had formed following the Jin Wu opening its eyes earlier.

This totem was exactly the appearance of the Jin Wu, radiating a heart-palpitating aura.

This is the second stage of activating the inheritance seed!

Xu Qing had studied the information of Jin Wu Refines Ten Thousand Spirits for ten days before, and he knew very well that activating the inheritance seed of Jin Wu Refines Ten Thousand Spirits required two steps.

The first step is to activate the inheritance seed and turn it into a totem, imprinted on the body.

The second step is to make this totem manifest outside, forming a blood shadow. Only in this way can the inheritance seed be considered completely activated!

And the second step requires a large amount of blood to nourish, so he would have this feeling of hunger!

At this moment, in this rapid breathing, bloodshot eyes filled Xu Qing's eyes, and he turned to look at the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor.

The Jin Gang Sect Ancestor shivered instantly. Being looked at by Xu Qing like this, he had a feeling that the other party was about to swallow him, and he trembled, hurriedly showing his body, deliberately becoming more transparent, indicating that he had no blood.

Xu Qing moved his gaze away and looked at the shadow.

The shadow also trembled under his gaze.

"Send them up." Because of the withering of his body, Xu Qing's voice also became incomparably hoarse. At this moment, when it came out, the shadow did not have the slightest hesitation. The part merged into the sea swung fiercely, and instantly a huge iron-backed fish broke the water surface and was sent in front of Xu Qing.

Xu Qing stared at this iron-backed fish. The totem on his back suddenly became hot, seemingly wanting to manifest, but it couldn't be done now, so it could only manifest countless golden feathers like phoenix feathers around Xu Qing.

While these feathers were spinning rapidly around him, they formed suction, rolling toward the iron-backed fish.

The next instant, this iron-backed fish, which was a full hundred zhang in size, trembled, and all the blood power in its body radiated along its body.

These blood powers gathered together and became a blood ball of several tens of zhang in size. At this moment, it constantly shrank and was constantly refined, until finally, ninety-nine percent of it dissipated, forming a drop of light golden blood.

The golden phoenix feathers shrouded it fiercely, and while absorbing it, Xu Qing waved his hand, and a group of black fire also shrouded this iron-backed fish, extracting its soul.

And the shadow couldn't help but take a bite, swallowing the spiritual energy that had lost its soul and blood power and was filled with heterogenous matter without wasting it.

Like eating a meal, soon the shadow sent the second sea beast, followed by the third and fourth.

In the ten days before, Xu Qing had intentionally captive-bred some sea beasts after studying Jin Wu Refines Ten Thousand Spirits, so soon the sea beasts absorbed by the phoenix feathers transformed by his back totem reached as many as twenty-three.

With the absorption of the phoenix feathers, not only did the part it manifested become more and more, but it also fed back nourishment to Xu Qing, making Xu Qing not so withered and recovering some.

And he also clearly felt that his physical body power had become more refined than in the stagnant state of the past. While speed was faster and power was greater, he also had some strange perceptions.

This kind of perception was as if it were a resonance in some magic techniques. Xu Qing vaguely felt that he seemed to be able to form some magic techniques he had never learned without forming seals.

But he tried and couldn't do it.

"Could it be that this is what Jin Wu Refines Ten Thousand Spirits describes... seizing racial talent, but I have refined too little now, so I cannot take shape!"

Xu Qing was thoughtful, but his hunger was only slightly relieved at this moment, and he was still very hungry, which made him have no time to ponder too much. With bloodshot eyes, he simply stood up, put away the magic boat, and stepped into the sea.

The moment he entered the sea, Xu Qing's body opened the Profound Radiance State with a *bang*. The totem behind him radiated an aura that shocked all directions, making the pressure radiated from Xu Qing extremely heavy.

Beside him, the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor was filled with lightning, the lightning patterns on the black iron skewer shone, and he followed with a roar on Xu Qing's left side.

The shadow spread out and merged into the surroundings. Vaguely, one could see a hundred eyes spreading around. As they opened, they outlined the contour of a big tree, shocking.

At this moment, Xu Qing's comprehensive combat power was already far stronger than in the past. In this Forbidden Sea, although he still couldn't be unscrupulous, he could already dominate one side to a certain extent.

The sea surface roared, the sea under the sea surged, Xu Qing's figure disappeared instantly in the distance, and the slaughter began.

He needed more sea beasts, needed more source blood. Only in this way could he relieve this maddening hunger, and only then could his inheritance seed complete the second stage, thereby completely activating.

Time passed day by day. Half a month later.

In a remote sea surface of the Forbidden Sea, the seawater suddenly rolled and exploded instantly. A huge Cang Dragon, a full five hundred zhang in size, leaped out from within.

Its ferocious appearance, terrifying aura, and sharp teeth that were exposed even when its big mouth was closed, made it a nightmare for most merchant ships and cultivators in the Forbidden Sea whenever it appeared!

The Cang Dragon is clearly marked in the Seven Blood Eyes' Sea Chronicle. This is a top hunting race in the Forbidden Sea. Their own cruelty and terrifying body, coupled with the power of alienated cultivation, make them extremely amazing in combat power.

And at this moment, this Cang Dragon was even more extraordinary. The moment it leaped out of the sea surface, one could see two red flames burning in its body. This was a Cang Dragon that had practiced to the degree of two Life Fires.

The momentum was strong, and the moment it appeared, all directions roared.

The sea surface exploded in a range of a full thousand zhang. It was just that at this moment, there was no coldness in its eyes as in the past, but deep terror.

If one looked carefully, one could see that there was a totem-like mark crawling on its stomach.

The appearance of this mark was exactly the appearance of a big tree. More than a hundred eyes were opening, constantly blinking like big mouths, madly swallowing its shadow.

At the same time, under the sea surface it broke, a series of earth-shattering lightning roared up. Inside, a black iron skewer surrounded by lightning could be clearly seen, approaching suddenly at an incomparably amazing speed, directly penetrating through the Cang Dragon's body.

With a *bang*, the Cang Dragon's body shook violently, and the penetrated part exploded directly. The severe pain made it have to open its tightly closed big mouth, wanting to let out a wail.

But... its big mouth could not be opened!

The wail could not be completely transmitted, so it turned into a *woo-woo* sound. And at this moment, as the sunlight scattered, one could clearly see that in its mouth, there was actually a young figure standing!

This youth was wearing a purple Dao robe. At this moment, he was standing between the two teeth of the Cang Dragon. His hair had a faint luster like black jade, and water droplets could be seen.

As the Cang Dragon shook violently, the youth's long hair danced, and the water droplets on it shook off, drop by drop, black as ink, like continuous rain threads.

There were even some that spilled on his face, and while flowing down from the delicate skin like beautiful porcelain, they also revealed his face in the sunlight.

That was an extremely beautiful face, with long eyebrows like willow, a body like a jade tree, and long black hair scattered behind his neck, wild yet with a sense of stunning beauty.

His eyes carried a sense of intoxication, and his magic was not only in that face that would make people intoxicated when they saw it, but in the mysterious temperament radiated by his whole person.

He now had one hand raised, hooked into the upper teeth of this Cang Dragon, and his feet were like nails, fiercely stabbed into the lower teeth of the Cang Dragon.

He actually used his own power to lock the Cang Dragon's big mouth tightly, not letting it open!

This youth was Xu Qing!

In the past half month, he had killed a great many sea beasts, making the totem on his back not far from completing the second stage, and he himself was also becoming more and more formidable under the swallowing of source blood by the Jin Wu totem and its feedback and nourishment.

Not only did his body recover as usual, but the growth of his strength and speed was even more terrifying, surpassing the past by too much. Even his physical body power alone now could make this Cang Dragon unable to struggle to open its mouth.

This can be seen from one spot!

At this moment, cold light flashed in his eyes. The black evil fire in his body erupted suddenly, covering this Cang Dragon that he had been chasing for half a day. At the same time, the totem behind him also manifested countless golden phoenix feathers.

These phoenix feathers constantly rotated, unfolding suction, and refining the Cang Dragon.

The Cang Dragon roared in its mouth, struggled with all its might to fall back into the sea surface, and the moment it sank, a huge plesiosaur rushed out from under the sea, bumping into it fiercely with its body, making the Cang Dragon blocked.

Although the plesiosaur collapsed soon, but with this block, Xu Qing could already complete the coverage of the black evil fire, and the Jin Wu Refines Ten Thousand Spirits technique also unfolded completely at this moment.

Miserable roars were transmitted from between the teeth. This Cang Dragon's body roared with a *bang*, radiating countless blood, which was constantly gathered and refined, and finally became a group of source blood, merging into the phoenix feathers.

And its soul also appeared in Xu Qing's body at this moment, becoming firewood burning, and blasted open his forty-seventh and forty-eighth magic apertures!

During this period, Xu Qing's slaughter was very frequent, and the magic apertures had been opened to forty-six before this.

At this moment, as they were blasted open, his magic power soared instantly. At the same time, the nourishment from Jin Wu Refines Ten Thousand Spirits also surged again, making his whole body emit a *click-clack* sound. At the same time, his already beautiful face became even more eye-catching, and his physical body power rose by another large margin!

"As long as I swallow a few more sea beasts, the second stage of Jin Wu Refines Ten Thousand Spirits can be completely completed. By that time, the totem will manifest, and I can consider this imperial-level cultivation technique truly merged into my body and cannot be deprived."

Murmuring, Xu Qing's body swayed and went away rapidly. And the Cang Dragon, which had lost everything and turned into a dried corpse, sank to the seabed. The shadow spread out rapidly, hurriedly following Xu Qing, and at the same time transmitted an annoyed emotion.

It felt that its shadow swallowing was too slow... It didn't wait to show its power, and the Cang Dragon was killed, so it transmitted some aggrieved emotions to the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor to the side.

The Jin Gang Sect Ancestor rarely didn't take the opportunity to fool the shadow. He raised his head and looked at the distant Xu Qing, looking at the back of the youth with long hair dancing in the sunlight and purple energy covering his body, his heart was already full of waves.

He witnessed Xu Qing's slaughter, witnessed Xu Qing's madness, witnessed the strong attraction Xu Qing formed to the opposite sex, and even witnessed the path of the other party becoming stronger and stronger.

All of this made a thought strongly surface in his heart at this moment.

"This is the protagonist in the storybook!"

"If I have a chance, I must record it and write a storybook in the future!" ===== CHAPTER 180 =====
