Chapter 273: Leap-style Progress

River Lord Emperor!

Martial Dao Divine Power!

The patterns of the Inside Ze Ding connected, and bright floodwater splashed out; Liang Qu couldn't help but close his eyes.

In an instant.

His ears were full of the sound of water.

A drop of water fell from high in the sky, hitting the center of his forehead, icy cold to the bone.

Liang Qu opened his eyes, and the moment he looked out, he took a step back, ripples appearing in the clear water that covered his ankles.

"This is..."

The vastness of the world, the emptiness of nothingness, poured in.

Liang Qu could not use his own eyesight to measure the huge space he was in.

He stood up and looked into the distance, faintly able to see the cyan boundary shrouded by the clouds; in the distance, it looked like the sky, with the end hidden in darkness, completely unclear.

The sound of tides echoed monotonously in this empty world, as if a river with nothing to see and nothing to feel was hidden in all directions.

Am I in the Inside Ze Ding?

The sound of churning water suddenly rang out, and Liang Qu turned around.

A huge blue light fish.

The light fish stretched like a mountain range, lying on its side in the shallow water, its crimson pupils staring at him.

As their gazes met, the light fish suddenly leaped from the shallow water, and the pale blue light covered the sky and the earth.

Liang Qu widened his eyes, ignoring the glare, and watched with his own eyes as the light fish turned into a stream of light and crashed into the cauldron wall in the distance!

The cyan-gray cauldron wall rippled and flickered with micro-light, gradually outlining a heroic divine general holding a spear.

The light flowed and merged, and the divine general walked out of the cauldron wall, like connected stars in the sky; Liang Qu could see through the divine general's linear body to the cyan-gray cauldron wall.

He strode like a meteor, leaping forward; at first, he was as tall as the world, towering into the clouds, but with every step he took, his figure shrank by a point, and when he came before him, he was no different from an ordinary person.

Liang Qu felt something in his heart and did not dodge, as the light-stream divine general stepped into his body.

The moment the two merged.

Boom!

His whole body felt like it was being scorched by raging fire, ignited from his spine, rolling outwards, spreading, and burning every inch of flesh and blood.

Magma-like flames flowed through his blood to his whole body, repeatedly tearing at him under some intense rhythm.

The severe pain attacked his heart!

Liang Qu almost bit off his own tongue!

But he was no longer the same as before; he clenched his five fingers, endured the pain, and held onto his spirit platform.

His fingernails were deeply embedded in his palms, and the surroundings were pale white.

The memory of the scene of slaying the dragon during the River Lord Emperor's first favor was still fresh; if he guessed correctly, it would definitely appear again next!

The style of that spear was still something he yearned for!

He wanted to see it again!

Every inch of his tendons, bones, and flesh jumped and trembled under the severe pain, shedding a large amount of hot sweat that dissipated and was washed away in the water flow.

He didn't know how long he endured, just when Liang Qu was exhausted and his nerves were stretched to the limit.

His perspective changed.

The world was dim, and the lead-gray river surface was undulating.

Huge waves were like curtains; the previous wave hadn't yet crashed down when it was shattered by the next wave, turning into white water foam.

A terrifyingly large black shadow swam under the water, and the surging river surface bulged; a terrifying creature with two deer horns on its head broke through the water surface, and millions of tons of river water collapsed.

The terrifying creature looked straight over from top to bottom, its brilliant golden eyes like two scorching suns!

Seeing this, Liang Qu was not afraid, but overjoyed.

This was what he was waiting for!

River Lord slays the dragon!

Last time it flashed too fast, his consciousness was blurred, and he didn't remember anything; this time he must learn a thing or two!

However, before Liang Qu could look at the three-pointed, double-edged spear in his hand, the perspective changed again.

The Great Marsh surged, and white foam rolled up on the black waves.

The spear-wielding divine general stood on his head, blocking the sunlight that scattered through the dark clouds; the sun plated that figure with a layer of dazzling golden brilliance, so bright it could not be looked at directly.

What's going on?

Liang Qu's body was surrounded by surging water waves, one after another slapping against him; he looked at the spear-wielding divine general in the sky in a daze.

Above is the River Lord Emperor, below is...

No, why are the objects of the two substitutions different?

Wait, I am a dragon, then...

Liang Qu wanted to escape, but he couldn't escape at all; every scale on his body felt like a knife blade had been inserted, imprisoning his whole body.

Damn it!

The divine general moved.

The world lost its voice.

Liang Qu's pupils shrank, his whole body trembled, and fear covered the sky and the earth.

His eyes lost color, everything turned into black and white, and the world was filled with distorted lines.

Even the lines that made up himself were jumping chaotically, constantly collapsing and reorganizing.

The blade of the three-pointed, double-edged knife swept across those distorted lines, and everything it passed through broke, as easily as cutting a thin rope with a small knife, until that knife slashed at the top of Liang Qu's head.

The river surface, thousands of meters deep, cracked and collapsed; along the collapsed surface, endless blood dissipated, as if flowing against the current, infecting the surroundings.

Liang Qu's vision changed again, but it wasn't switched to anyone else, but was "separating" to both sides.

Eh, no pain?

Liang Qu, in fear, suddenly realized this point; although his vision was forced to separate to both sides, he felt no pain at all.

Liang Qu's vision continued to separate, witnessing with his own eyes the thousand-mile river surface turning into a sea of blood, with countless big fish competing to snatch the flesh and blood.

Some swelled and exploded into meat paste, while others evolved successfully, their body sizes surged, becoming spirit monsters and even demon beasts.

Liang Qu was stunned in place.

Countless thoughts and ideas flooded his mind.

He did not substitute into the first-person perspective of the River Lord Emperor; combining the two, he instead had a deeper understanding of that spear.

The martial arts bottleneck that had troubled him for a long time seemed to have all its obstacles cut open following that spear.

Whoosh!

Everything before his eyes vanished.

Liang Qu sat cross-legged at the bottom of the water, his eyebrows, eyes, nose, hands, feet, and body quickly adapting as if his soul had returned to its shell.

He slowly opened his eyes, and two divine lights shot out from his pupils.

On the back of his hand, the "Thunder" character rune naturally emerged; the missing part flowed with light, filling the vacancy like the finishing touch, and then spread outwards on the basis of the thunder rune, deriving a second layer of change, lengthening the entire head and foot of the rune, and filling in more content.

Yang Thunder Rune!

Liang Qu opened his hands, the water flow surged, wrapping around the Fubo at the bottom of the water, holding it to his palm; as the spear head stood up, the river water surged angrily.

The spear tip flickered and changed, bringing out a dragon-shaped phantom, roaring in all directions, the torrent turning into a knife.

All three spears of the Green Dragon Spear Art were mastered, and the first spear faintly had the aura of Great Completion!

The Profound Iron Great Bow was not by his side, but Liang Qu could feel that although his Falling Star Arrow had not reached Great Completion, it had already crossed the trench of Great Completion and glimpsed the mysteries of the Moon-Chasing Arrow and even the Sun-Piercing Arrow!

Not only that!

Liang Qu stood up, his figure flickering as he leaped, leaving trails of electric arcs in the back-rolling water flow.

The Thunder Character Seal Art had the Thunder Step; this movement technique was not an underwater movement technique, and if he acted violently, the water resistance would be harder than a hundred-refined iron wall!

However, Liang Qu had no stagnation as he turned; it was not his water control assisting, but the combination with Wandering Through the Zhouyou Liuxu!

Wandering Through the Zhouyou Liuxu was originally a top-tier movement technique that followed the flow of Heaven and Earth's Qi; combined with the Thunder Step, he had forcibly used this footwork underwater!

Fast, too fast.

Liang Qu had never thought that one favor would make him progress so much!

It's a pity that such progress was not brought about by a simple increase in talent, but by the realization from observing the River Lord slaying the dragon; unless there was another favor, there was only this one chance right now.

That strike was not a technique, it was the Dao!

The Dao leads to everything.

No wonder it was the River Lord's favor, Martial Dao Divine Power!
