Chapter 499: Bloodline Resonance, Chen Xuan Huang Dragon Race after Ascension?

~32 min read 6,299 words

Zhao Xing only spent three years completely comprehending the Life Dao Map on the island.

"Roar!"

One day three years later, an excited roar erupted from the island!

A demon ape rushed from the mountain peak into the sky, heading straight for the dark clouds in the sky.

"Bang."

The surging Qi and blood broke through the cloud layer, and the airtight cloud layer was broken, appearing with a hole.

"The Life Dao Map of an early-stage Emperor ancient martial artist has been a great help to me." The demon ape looked at his palms excitedly, feeling the surging power surging in his body.

"Internal cultivation of climate change Dharma is inherently different from person to person; it requires spending time observing countless life structures and collecting as many bloodlines as possible to find the most suitable climate change method for oneself."

"Compared to the method of collecting bloodlines and slowly exploring, the method of comprehending Life Dao Maps is much faster."

After Zhao Xing fully comprehended this Life Dao Map, he felt that the power of Demon Ape Transformation had increased by about 3%.

Don't look at it as just 3%, but this was only one floating island on the first layer.

The first layer has more than 100,000 floating islands. If he could see them all? Zhao Xing felt that even without the amplification of Green Flower Dharma power and Red Lotus Dharma power, he could possess Emperor-level strength after transformation.

"The upper limit of climate change Dharma is very high, and it is even considered by the current Heavenly Time School as the path with the most hope of becoming a god."

After climate change, one becomes another life form, and the original race restrictions and cultivation shackles no longer exist after the state of climate change.

Transforming into certain special life forms, talents might become very terrifying, learning secret techniques that couldn't be learned before, and possessing unimaginable power.

In the Heavenly Time School's theory, the ultimate goal of becoming a god through climate change is to become those special life forms that are 'born gods,' which are also commonly known as the Ancient God Clan. For example, the Ancient God of the Dongyan Clan who was resurrected belongs to a special life form.

"However, there are 100,000 floating islands; it is too time-consuming to look at them one by one," Zhao Xing thought secretly. "One floating island takes three years; at this speed, it would take 300,000 years. I must improve efficiency."

Whoosh~~

Zhao Xing stroked the ring on his hand, and one after another, straw men appeared on the island.

"Here, the internal world and world ring cannot be opened, because it possesses characteristics similar to a 【Dharma Realm】. The Extreme Star Floating Island secret realm created by Venerable Bai Han is essentially a Dharma Realm."

"Dharma Realms conflict with each other, but ordinary storage rings do not have perfect laws in operation."

"These straw men are all spare Primordial Straw Man shells."

His soul was split 101 times, but Zhao Xing had prepared more than 200 sets of Primordial Straw Man materials, which existed in his internal world, world ring, and ordinary storage rings.

As a Ben Wo School Si Nong, Zhao Xing naturally had to consider extreme environments, as well as the situation where the Primordial Straw Man was destroyed in battle.

"Split!"

Because there were four sub-souls in the outside world and the dark sub-soul was swallowed, Zhao Xing's total number of sub-souls was still 100.

96 sub-souls flew out of his consciousness and entered the Primordial Straw Man bodies.

The Primordial Avatars that were originally closed-eyed all opened their eyes.

"Counting the main body, there are 97 of me in total, and all avatars are capable of Green Flower Dharma power; they can completely hold on to the climate change on the first layer."

"At the same time, comprehending the Life Dao Maps on the floating islands can save a lot of time."

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

The avatars flew toward different directions on the first layer.

Three years later, Zhao Xing comprehended 98 Life Dao Maps, and the power of Demon Ape Transformation directly doubled.

Six years later, Zhao Xing comprehended 195 Life Dao Maps, and the power of Demon Ape Transformation increased by another 70% or so.

The twelfth year, 292 Life Dao Maps.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, 210 years had passed.

Extreme Star Floating Island, first layer.

Zhao Xing's main body stood up slowly under a purple thunder cloud.

"That's about it."

"I have already seen almost all of the 100,000 floating islands."

100,000 floating islands; assuming each one takes three years, even if efficiency is increased by nearly a hundred times, it would take more than 3,000 years.

So he didn't intend to spend three years on every floating island.

The Life Dao Maps on the first layer were just the beginning, and Zhao Xing had fully comprehended them.

By the time the power of Demon Ape Transformation increased gradually weakened, Zhao Xing's comprehension was only for 'forced memory' and preliminary mastery.

For some races with repetitive types or similar bloodlines, he just took a rough look.

After all, the first layer was only the Life Dao Maps of early-stage Emperor-level life forms.

Actually, by the 89th year, the power of Demon Ape Transformation could no longer be improved.

The time that followed was purely because the main body was checking for omissions and filling in gaps, wanting to walk more steadily.

"At this time, I have already learned more than 3,000 climate change methods."

"Even without the amplification of two Dharma powers, I already have eighteen changes, stabilized at the early Emperor level."

"Eighteen changes, all with Emperor-level early-stage combat power, switching freely, can cope with different battle situations."

Zhao Xing turned into birds and beasts, turned into a demon ape, turned into a spirit turtle, and even turned into special life forms like rock giants.

"The upper limit of climate change Dharma is very high, and it is time to go to a higher level."

Zhao Xing looked at the sky.

The second layer of Extreme Star Floating Islands, the number was greatly reduced, with only 360 floating islands.

Third layer, 120 floating islands.

Fourth layer, 49 floating islands.

Fifth layer, 9 floating islands.

Sixth layer, 3 floating islands.

Because the foundation was solid, having seen almost all of the 100,000 Life Dao Maps on the bottom layer, Zhao Xing only spent nine years on the second layer to fully comprehend the 360 floating islands on the second layer.

The 120 Life Dao Maps on the third layer took 28 years.

After entering the fourth layer, Zhao Xing met an acquaintance.

"Palace Master Ji Xia?"

Zhao Xing saw a huge Moon Spirit Cat lying under the blue clouds at the center of the floating island. It had a crescent mark on its forehead, its fur emitted Dharma power of different colors, and it wore Four Seasons Dharma clothes on its torso, and even wore a crown woven from green vines.

Palace Master Ji Xia was a person in power of the Four Seasons Palace, a top Heavenly Time School force within the territory of the Chixing Empire, at the peak of the Emperor level.

One of Zhao Xing's Primordial Avatars went to find Heavenly Time cultivation techniques, and the first stop was the Four Seasons Palace.

After the demigod cave dwelling opened, Palace Master Ji Xia also bought a quota through Zhao Xing.

"Zhao Xing?" Palace Master Ji Xia was licking his wounds, and seeing someone coming, he immediately

turned his head to look over.

"Palace Master, are you injured?" Zhao Xing was a bit surprised, because on the left side of Palace Master Ji Xia's torso, there was a pitch-black crack that almost split Palace Master Ji Xia in two.

"Yes, I was injured by the array on the fifth layer," Palace Master Ji Xia didn't hide it, and the cat paw pointed to the fifth-layer floating island above.

"Even you can't hold on to the climate change array on the fifth layer?" Zhao Xing was shocked in his heart.

"I don't specialize in climate change Dharma, but in Cloud and Rain Dharma," Palace Master Ji Xia sighed. "Originally, I could hold on to the fifth-layer array, but the Life Dao Map on the fifth layer is very exquisite, a life structure I have never seen before. Without knowing it, I put all my energy into comprehension, and forgot to resist the climate change array..."

The premise of comprehension is to resist the climate change array on the floating island.

Palace Master Ji Xia could barely resist the fifth-layer floating island array, but he also had to pay all his energy.

He was distracted to comprehend, so he was naturally injured by the floating island's climate change array.

So he had to retreat to the floating island on the fourth layer to recover from his injuries.

"That is a very profound Life Dao Map; if I could comprehend it thoroughly, I would be willing even if I died..." As he spoke, Palace Master Ji Xia even forgot about his wounds and began to recall, falling into a state of intoxication.

Hearing the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening!

The treasures left by the cave dwelling owner had a fatal temptation for Heavenly Time School Si Nong like Palace Master Ji Xia, and he was even willing to pay the price of his life!

"Fifth layer..." Zhao Xing stood up and looked upward.

The climate change array on the fifth layer turned Emperor Tian Wu into a monster and made Palace Master Ji Xia intoxicated; he also had the urge to rush up and check.

However, he still held back.

He was not more powerful than Emperor Ji Xia and Emperor Tian Wu; rushing into the

fifth layer rashly, the outcome might not be very good.

"Venerable Bai Han, can one exit halfway?"

"What do you think?" Venerable Bai Han laughed sinisterly, "Heh, without the determination to die, you dare to come and break through this Venerable's inheritance level?"

"After entering, either pass through the sixth layer alive, or die here."

Zhao Xing nodded.

He tried to sense the Primordial Avatar and found that the main body could still feel the existence of the avatar, but could not complete the distance-less jump.

Facing the demigod's setup, his Primordial Avatar didn't have Emperor-level strength, and still had no way to escape through teleportation.

However, being able to send messages out already proved that the Primordial Avatar was very awesome. It should be known that even the internal world couldn't be opened here.

Without a doubt, this was a larger Dharma Realm, isolating space.

The internal world is also a kind of space, so naturally, it couldn't be opened.

However, he could vaguely sense the avatar through space, which provided the basis for communication.

So he immediately warned the intruders outside through the avatar not to enter the second level rashly.

Because once you enter, you either die or pass, there is no other way to go.

And the news that Emperor Tian Wu couldn't hold on and turned into a monster shocked everyone.

This caused many martial artists who originally relied on their thick skin to want to come and join the fun to retreat.

"How many people have entered the second level?" Meng Wu asked Emperor Mo Shu beside him after seeing the news.

"Before the warning was sent out, forty-two people had already entered the second level," Emperor Mo Shu said. "Among them, there are twenty-three Si Nong, including Palace Master Ji Xia of the Four Seasons Palace, Emperor Hei Hai of the Mirage Sea Alliance, Emperor Xu Xing of the Zi Wu Heavenly God Hall, and Dean Qian Liu of the Shen Hua Dao Academy..."

"There are eleven martial artists, including Emperor Tian Wu, Emperor Yang Li, Emperor Hu An..."

"There are eight physicians..."

"What about after the warning was sent out?" Meng Wu asked.

"Over a hundred people," Emperor Mo Shu said expressionlessly.

Ever since Emperor Fuzhi obtained a divine object from the Ling Luo Realm, it had triggered great enthusiasm. The original quota of 100 was not enough at all.

People were willing to spend money to buy quotas, and the Hall of War Gods and Zhao Xing naturally were happy to oblige, so they set up many quotas for sale, far exceeding one hundred.

"It would have been better not to warn them; once warned, there are even more," Emperor Meng Wu sighed: "None of them are afraid of death."

It wasn't that many people before the news came out, but now the news had come out!

"Divine objects make people crazy," Emperor Mo Shu said: "The difficulty of the levels in the Bai Han Realm is so great, and it must be a capable demigod who can set them up, so the possibility of possessing divine objects is very high."

Therefore, Zhao Xing's warning not only didn't play the intended role, but instead attracted more people!

"People die for wealth, birds die for food. The warning has been issued; how they choose is their choice," Emperor Meng Wu thought thoughtfully. "No need to worry about them anymore, just keep an eye on their movements."

Bai Han Realm, on the first-layer floating island, Zhao Xing had just stepped in when he felt an invisible pressure coming from heaven and earth.

Boom crack!

Heaven was clear and earth was bright, Yin and Yang were divided, and Zhao Xing, who was on the lower layer, felt the surrounding atmosphere become very cold.

The climate change array instantly pressed down on his whole body, waves of cold currents invading, causing the fluff on his arms and cheeks to grow uncontrollably.

"Green Flower Dharma Power, Mustard Seed Dharma Domain!"

Unfolding the Mustard Seed Dharma Domain, and at the same time using the Green Flower Dharma Power, the influence of the cold current disappeared all at once.

"The climate change of the first-layer floating island only affects from the outside; using the Green Flower and Mustard Seed Dharma Domain is enough to hold on," Zhao Xing thought secretly.

"However, the fifth layer, even Emperor Tian Wu couldn't hold on, obviously the climate change array on the Extreme Star Floating Island is getting stronger and stronger."

"To not be killed by the climate change array, there are only two ways."

"One is to comprehend the Life Dao Map left on the floating island. Bai Han also said that one can understand powerful secret techniques from the Life Dao Map, perhaps they can resist the climate change array."

"Two is to improve one's own climate change Dharma."

The climate change array, in the final analysis, is to kill people by creating a climate change environment; it is a climate change Dharma induced by external causes.

For Si Nong of the Heavenly Time School to fight against external climate change Dharma, the best way is to perform internal climate change Dharma, which is 'transformation.'

"As long as the stability after climate change exceeds the external climate change array, it is impossible to be destroyed." With a thought, Zhao Xing immediately performed 'Demon Ape Transformation.'

"Roar!" After a burst of light, Zhao Xing turned into a demon ape with black hair and red skin.

"Using normal Dharma power to perform climate change Dharma, transforming into a demon ape, is still not enough to resist the floating island climate change array."

The sense of oppression not only didn't dissipate, but because he shed the Mustard Seed Dharma Domain and became stronger after transforming into a demon ape, the coldness invaded again.

"Transform again!"

The Qi flame on Zhao Xing's body suddenly changed, green Dharma power surged, sweeping his whole body, and the demon ape body was immediately strengthened, his body growing a circle larger, his muscles and skin tighter, and the outer layer of the Qi flame was also coated with a layer of green.

"Using Green Flower Dharma power to perform Demon Ape Transformation, I can easily resist the first-layer climate change array without the Mustard Seed Dharma Domain," Zhao Xing thought secretly.

"My 'Green Flower Demon Ape Transformation' is probably comparable to a martial artist at the middle stage of the Emperor level," Zhao Xing thought secretly.

Without using Green Flower Dharma power to perform Demon Ape Transformation, he would only be comparable to the peak of the Lord level.

Demon Ape Transformation obtained the amplification of Green Flower Dharma power, but could reach the middle stage of the Emperor level.

"What about Red Lotus Demon Ape Transformation?" Zhao Xing tried, performing the third transformation.

"Roar!" Violent Qi flames radiated from his body, the black hair and red skin suddenly turned into pink hair and red skin, his body size shrank further, but his muscles were even more exaggerated.

"No, this cannot be counted as the third transformation," Zhao Xing clenched his fists. "Although Red Lotus Demon Ape Transformation raised my attack power to the late stage of the Emperor level, it abandoned defense and flexibility, and when resisting the climate change array, it was not as good as Green Lotus Demon Ape Transformation."

"The real third transformation should be the fusion of Green Flower Dharma power and Red Lotus Dharma power, and then perform Demon Ape Transformation." Zhao Xing retreated to the Green Lotus Demon Ape Transformation state and walked on the floating island.

Each floating island has a Life Dao Map, which is at the center of the climate change array, and it is not hard to find.

The climate change array of the first layer is about the strength of the early stage of the Emperor level, and Zhao Xing easily reached the center of the array.

"Crack crack crack~" Lightning flashed.

The clouds above the center of the floating island suddenly split, and sunlight fell, intertwining to form a painting.

"The first Life Dao Map is an Emperor-level human."

Zhao Xing maintained the Demon Ape Transformation and sat down cross-legged. As the painting slowly unfolded, he seemed to see an Emperor-level ancient martial artist being dissected in front of him. Every inch of skin, every bit of Dao rhyme on every bone, was unfolded in a unique form and presented in front of Zhao Xing.

He could even see how the Qi and blood in every acupuncture point and meridian of this ancient martial artist operated, how the golden bones were cast, including what fleshly body treasures were excavated during the Origin Realm period...

"Micro-level life display, both the operation of martial arts and pure Dao are manifested," Zhao Xing couldn't help but exclaim, "Venerable Bai Han, although he doesn't act like a human, his ability to produce Life Dao Maps is truly powerful."

Normally, even if an ancient martial artist is willing to show everything to others, others may not understand it or see it comprehensively. Making it into the form of a Life Dao Map is easy to understand.

In other words, Venerable Bai Han himself understands them even better than the dissected person.

"This is a good opportunity; I can just happen to perfect the Demon Ape Transformation. With so many floating islands, if I can have the Life Dao Map of the Heavenly Time School Si Nong, the problem of the three schools being unbalanced can also be alleviated." Zhao Xing concentrated on comprehending. ===== CHAPTER 500 =====

He caught his life-bound Dao weapon with his bare palm; although it was only a middle-grade Dao weapon, this was still incredible.

Yet, something even more incredible was yet to come.

"Hah!"

Zhao Xing exerted force with one hand, and the Red Lotus magic power on his demonic claw erupted with a burst of light, directly crushing the meteor hammer into fragments!

"What?!" Lord Yashi's eyes went blank.

Crushed? He had never imagined his meteor hammer could be crushed by someone; this was simply too monstrous!

However, he had no idea that Zhao Xing's Demonic Ape Transformation had been perfected, and its innate secret technique had also been strengthened. One of the Demonic Ape clan's innate talents, 【World-Shattering Palm】, was improved by combining it with over 100,000 life Dao diagrams from the previous three layers, capable of crushing even world barriers.

Coupled with the amplification of the Red Lotus magic power's Great Dao of Destruction, facing only a middle-grade Samsara Dao weapon resulted in such an exaggerated effect. If it were a grade higher, Zhao Xing wouldn't have been able to crush it.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Zhao Xing used the Demonic Ape clan's innate secret technique to fling the fragments of the crushed hammer toward Lord Yashan.

A meteor shower enveloped him, the fragments burning with the attached Red Lotus magic power; each piece moved extremely fast, with power comparable to a full-force strike from a mid-stage Emperor.

Lord Yashi was instantly jolted, his body suddenly sprouting eight arms, each holding a hammer of the same quality as the previous one.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!!!"

The eight large hammers stirred the clouds, wind, and rain, as if the sky were about to collapse, smashing into the meteor shower one after another.

A perfect use of momentum; the eight large hammers were magnificent and mighty, seemingly even more brilliant than the meteor shower, and he actually blocked them all.

However, with every block, Lord Yashi retreated a step, and by the time the meteor shower passed, he had sunk into the rock layer behind him.

His arms were red and swollen, his golden bones aching, and half of his vital energy had been consumed!

"Huff, hah~ huff, hah~"

Lord Yashi panted heavily.

When he came to his senses and the smoke cleared, he saw that his opponent had already appeared before him, staring at him coldly.

Lord Yashi's breath hitched; he knew he was no match for his opponent at all.

"Am I qualified now?" With pink hair fluttering and his burly red-skinned muscles burning with red energy, Zhao Xing looked at him indifferently.

"If you want to kill, then kill; why waste words? You want me to bow to the demon race? Hmph!"

Lord Yashi stood straight, his face full of disdain.

Zhao Xing switched back to his human form and cursed: "Open your dog eyes and look clearly. This is a proper Si Nong Marquis Transformation Technique. You are the demon race; your whole family is the demon race!"

"Ah?" Lord Yashi was shocked and uncertain. "You, you are a Si Nong?"

"Didn't I just say? I am a Coral-level member of the Primordial Realm."

"Clatter!" Lord Yashi threw all eight iron hammers to the ground and decisively knelt on one knee: "I was blind and failed to recognize a superior; please forgive me, Senior."

"Senior, I don't have anything valuable on me. The quota I bought has already exhausted my liquid funds. Only these eight iron hammers are worth anything. Please accept them, Senior, as my apology."

"Hmph, where are you from? Your skills are mediocre, but your temper is quite large." In fact, Lord Yashi's strength was already quite decent.

Among the Qi-cultivating martial artists Zhao Xing had encountered, very few were good at using weapons. Lord Yashi was not yet at the Emperor level, but relying on the weapons in his hands, he was enough to fight a mid-stage Emperor.

"Senior, I am from the Liu Fang Kingdom." Lord Yashi confessed honestly, "An eon ago, I responded to the Empire's call and participated in the 'Battle of Dao River,' where I met a friend from the War God Hall, 'Emperor Shayu.' I performed some meritorious service that time, and after exchanging it for merit, I went into seclusion."

"This time, it was also my good friend Emperor Shayu who reminded me, so I came out of seclusion to explore the ruins. I had no murderous intent just now; I was just annoyed by being disturbed."

"If that weren't the case, you would already be dead." Zhao Xing could certainly tell that the other party had no murderous intent, which was the reason he let Lord Yashi live.

The 'spiritual energy' gushing out of the void river was an important source for irrigating many food-producing star systems in the south.

An eon ago, the Empire and the Wanhe Demon Kingdom fought a great war in the southern borderlands because of the void river channel. The Liu Fang Kingdom was a vassal state of the Empire in the south.

"I can spare you, and I don't want your wealth, but you must act as my guard."

Lord Yashi's strength was not bad. If he carried the Marquis Transformation formation to support a safe zone, Zhao Xing's own comprehension speed could be a bit faster.

"Many thanks, Senior. Yashi is willing to serve." Lord Yashi was overjoyed.

"Judging by what you said, there are still many people on these forty-nine islands?" Zhao Xing asked.

More than two hundred years had passed, and he didn't know how many people had come to the Polar Star Islands. He had spent his efforts polishing his cultivation techniques on the first three layers; perhaps some people had come in and headed straight for the higher layers to comprehend them.

"I'm not clear on the specifics, but there should be quite a few." Lord Yashi said, "The vast majority come in pairs at the Emperor level, mostly a Si Nong paired with a guardian powerhouse, or a physician paired with a powerhouse."

"Senior is not the first to come to my place. In the past one hundred and eighty years, I have seen fifty-three people."

Being frequently disturbed, Lord Yashi was unable to comprehend anything at all, which was the reason he would resort to violence at the slightest disagreement.

After being annoyed so many times, finally encountering a soft persimmon, he naturally wanted to squeeze it to vent his anger, never expecting to run into an iron plate. He could neither clear the level nor get out. Just now, he had intended to just be tough and die; perhaps using the Samsara reincarnation method would offer a glimmer of survival.

"So many people came?" Zhao Xing was somewhat stunned. He had clearly notified Meng Wu of the War God Hall through his avatar.

Could it be that the powerhouses outside thought he was trying to monopolize the benefits?

The more they were warned, the more they wanted to come?

"It seems it was counterproductive. Also, since Emperor Fuzhi could obtain a divine object, perhaps more divine objects will emerge." Zhao Xing quickly figured it out.

Back then, a single divine object at the Yuanhai Dharma Assembly could attract so many powerhouses; now it was the same. Danger? If the powerhouses were afraid of death, it would be hard for them to cultivate to such a high realm.

"A hundred years ago, it was said that if one has a top-grade Samsara Dao weapon on one's person, even if one cannot clear the second level, consuming one top-grade life-bound Dao weapon allows one to reincarnate and escape." Lord Yashi provided another piece of information.

Zhao Xing closed his eyes to sense carefully. A long time later, through his avatar in the outside world, he quickly confirmed this news.

A top-grade Samsara Dao weapon can definitely reincarnate and escape.

If it were of any other grade, then it would only be a certain probability.

"No wonder you only have a few hammers; you must have left your family fortune outside." Zhao Xing laughed.

"That's not it." Lord Yashi laughed dryly: "I was very poor to begin with and couldn't afford top-grade or supreme-grade treasures."

"Alright, take me to see the life Dao diagram on this island first. If I can clear the level, I can take you out."

"Yes, Senior, please follow me."

Lord Yashi named this island Yashi Island, and on it was a life Dao diagram of the Divine Feather clan.

Legend has it that in the era of the Feather Emperor, the Divine Emperor 'Yu' married a powerhouse from the Demon God Hall, which brought ten eons of peace between the human and demon races.

Since then, the descendants of the Feather Emperor and the demon race multiplied and thrived on their fiefdom, gradually growing stronger, and a new race was born: the Divine Feather clan.

Zhao Xing comprehended from the 【Divine Feather Life Dao Diagram】 and quickly entered a scene similar to a scholar's state of enlightenment.

The first thing that caught his eye was a pair of snow-white wings.

"It is rumored that Princess Yuyao had seven wings, but here there is only one pair, with 108,000 feathers, each containing the laws of the Great Dao, yet here there are only 37,000.

"It seems Venerable Bai Han didn't capture a very high-level Divine Feather clansman either." Zhao Xing comprehended the Dao rhyme above.

His back felt itchy involuntarily. In the seventh month, a pair of fleshy wings grew out, though they were red feathers.

Lord Yashi, who was on the side, was incredibly surprised: "Growing wings from the ribs in just seven months? The comprehension speed is so fast. Which senior of the Empire is this? Why have I

never heard of them?"

Zhao Xing tried flying for a bit, then returned to the comprehension area somewhat dissatisfied.

"It won't work. Combining it with the Demonic Ape clan's body is gilding the lily. Although it did increase speed somewhat, it was hindered when performing the 'World-Shattering Palm.' No matter how I adjusted it, it was ultimately still a thousand 'immeasurable time' units slower than in the wingless state. Such a combination of Marquis Transformation techniques is clearly imperfect."

A thousand 'immeasurable time' units, which is one-thousandth of a second, was already a very significant amount of time in Emperor-level combat.

"I could try combining it with the Thunder Roc clan..." Zhao Xing muttered to himself, then sat down to comprehend the scroll again.

Lord Yashi honestly supported the vital energy barrier, not letting the Marquis Transformation formation affect Zhao Xing.

Soon, thirty years passed.

While comprehending, Zhao Xing's understanding of the Great Dao of Life was also growing rapidly, and he even occasionally obtained some secret techniques.

He also taught some of the secret techniques he had comprehended to Lord Yashi, which even allowed Lord Yashi to make significant progress.

As a Si Nong, Zhao Xing also took the opportunity to plant some delicious spiritual plants on the floating island.

Because the fifth layer was so difficult, the sixth layer was even more despair-inducing; wanting to clear the level was destined to be a protracted war.

Most people who came in couldn't rely entirely on the spiritual supplies they brought, so they scrambled to stake out territory and graze, absorbing spiritual energy based on the floating island to prepare for long-term survival.

Zhao Xing also planned to use Yashi Island as a base; if he were unsuccessful in comprehending the fifth layer in the future, he could retreat here to rest and regroup.

With food and drink, and gains in cultivation, Lord Yashi became more and more diligent and respectful toward Zhao Xing.

Time came to the thirty-fifth year. Zhao Xing's comprehension of the 【Rock God Life Dao Diagram】 and

the 【Divine Feather Life Dao Diagram】 both hit a bottleneck, so he finally decided to change locations.

Lord Yashi's strength was too weak, and he didn't know much about the figures on the forty-nine floating islands of the fourth layer, but Palace Master Jixia was very clear about them.

Thirty years had passed, and Palace Master Jixia was still healing, though he was much better.

Palace Master Jixia said, "Venerable Bai Han calculated everything to death. If an Emperor-level powerhouse wants to obtain sufficient spiritual supplies, they can only occupy the islands of the fourth layer to survive."

"As time passes, for the sake of survival, the competition for the floating islands of the first four layers will become increasingly fierce."

"If you want to go to other floating islands, you can first go to 'Starfish Island.' This is the territory occupied by Emperor Black Sea and Emperor Xu Xing."

Emperor Black Sea was the Vice Alliance Leader of the Mirage Sea Alliance and the father of Zhu Haichao. Emperor Xu Xing came from the Zi-Wu Heavenly Time Hall and was also one of the Hall Masters, the grandfather of Jiang Tiansu. They also used their children's connections to contact Zhao Xing to purchase the quotas to enter.

Zhao Xing's half-year delay back then was spent negotiating with them.

"The space of the Polar Star floating islands on the second level is also very large, and they are constantly rotating. Following the trajectory of the Dark River Great Dao, if you follow the route I give you, you can safely fly there in about half a month."

"I understand. Many thanks to the Palace Master for pointing the way." Zhao Xing set off immediately.

Following Palace Master Jixia's guidance, sure enough, half a month later, he saw a dark yellow floating island in the starry sky ahead just flying out of the void clouds.

Checking the position, Zhao Xing discovered that the two Emperors really knew how to pick a spot; this Starfish Island was in a relatively hidden position among the forty-nine islands of the fourth layer.

"Who goes there?!"

Just as he landed on the edge of the island, a shout appeared immediately.

"Two Seniors, I am Zhao Xing."

Zhao Xing stopped his figure and stated his identity.

"Swish, swish~"

The Black Sea Alliance Leader and the Xu Xing Hall Master appeared together. Seeing that it was indeed Zhao Xing, they invited him in.

"It really is you, Zhao Xing. How did you find this place?"

"It was Palace Master Jixia's guidance." Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said.

"So that's how it is." The Black Sea Alliance Leader asked: "Has his injury healed?"

"Not yet fully." Zhao Xing shook his head, "The Marquis Transformation power of the fifth layer is too strong; the injury keeps transforming at the level of the life origin, so recovery is very slow."

"Venerable Bai Han is too terrifying to be able to set up such a formidable Marquis Transformation Dharma Realm." The Xu Xing Hall Master sighed, "I have been here for two hundred and seven years, yet I still dare not stay on the fifth layer for long. The longest time I lasted was only thirty-seven days, and I didn't even dare to spare a shred of energy to comprehend anything."

The Xu Xing Hall Master could only stay on the floating islands of the fifth layer for thirty-seven days? Zhao Xing gasped inwardly.

"Zhao Xing, you must never go to the fifth layer." The Xu Xing Hall Master exhorted. "Wait until someone clears the level, then we will go out together; otherwise, you will only be forced to reincarnate."

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded. Of course, he wouldn't go now. Without certainty, going to the fifth layer was courting death.

Even someone as strong as Emperor Marquis Tian Wu remained on the floating islands of the fifth layer forever.

"Does Senior know who has stayed the longest on the floating islands of the fifth layer?" Zhao Xing asked.

"I'm not very clear on the specifics." The Black Sea Alliance Leader shook his head, "But there are four people who have stayed the longest: Juan Carlos, Sword Monarch Ye Liuxin, Emperor Emperor Chi Xiao, and a mysterious person of unknown identity."

"Xu Xing and I have gone up to the fifth layer seventy-five times, and every time we could see these four people."

Zhao Xing nodded.

Among the four, not to mention the mysterious person, Juan Carlos was very famous; he was the legitimate son of a demigod and a mechanical martial artist.

Sword Monarch Ye Liuxin was very famous in the southern part of the Empire; the Battle of Dao River that Lord Yashi participated in was led by him.

As for Emperor Emperor Chi Xiao, he was an 'old acquaintance.' Back at the Dharma Assembly of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, among the nine great Emperors, there was a Heavenly Time Hall Si Nong, who was precisely Emperor Emperor Chi Xiao.

"Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Zhao Xing, you came to comprehend the life Dao diagram, right? The life Dao diagram on this floating island is very interesting; you will definitely be very interested." The Black Sea Alliance Leader laughed.

"Oh?" Zhao Xing became interested as soon as he heard them say this.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

Cloud energy emerged beneath the three people's feet, and in an instant, they arrived at the center of the floating island. This time, however, it was shrouded by a golden cloud layer.

After the three of Zhao Xing entered, golden light descended, weaving into a part of a scroll that slowly unfolded.

"Ang~"

Zhao Xing first heard a sound, and then he saw a purple scale that looked like a fish scale.

Gradually, a creature appeared before his eyes with horns like a deer, a neck like a snake, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, and a head like a camel.

Zhao Xing subconsciously pieced together its bloodline structure diagram, and then his body shook, and he exited the state of comprehension with some surprise.

"Haha, how is it?" The Black Sea Alliance Leader laughed, "Isn't this race very similar to a native race of your Great Zhou? We haven't seen it anywhere else."

Zhao Xing couldn't speak, because he had just felt a sense of familiarity from a common origin.

How is this just 'similar'? This is clearly the dragon bloodline that ascended from the Xuanhuang Realm!
