Chapter 574 - Dragon Martial Soul

The essence of someone at the Earthly Martial Realm was monstrous.

Long Chen couldn’t imagine how strong he would become once he had full control over it.

The meridian pills in his nine Martial Meridians were slowly changing too. Initially, they were like blood-red suns with the Golden Crow’s illusion inside of them. But they had changed under the influence of the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon too.

They looked like a cross between birds and dragons right now.

Even the Golden Crow’s soul remnants were affected by the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon’s influence.

An ancient aura filled with bloodlust radiated out of Long Chen.

The essence inside his body was currently at maximum capacity.

When he used the Dragon Soul Transformation, he would have as much essence as someone at the Second Earthly Martial Stage.

When he entered the Earthly Martial Realm, he would be able to beat someone one stage above him thanks to the Dragon Soul Transformation. Those at the same stage wouldn’t be his match whatsoever.

It was only when his body completed the transformation that a change occurred in his sea of consciousness.

The fog inside his sea of consciousness rippled. The Dragon Jade Pendant and the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon’s Inherited Blood Essence were completely still.

The white fog rippled intensely before it started to condense. The fog was a representation of Long Chen’s consciousness, and it had started to condense to form his Martial Soul.

But this was only his Earthly Martial Soul. There would be an even larger change when he advanced into the Heavenly Martial Soul and the Divine Martial Soul.

As time passed, Long Chen remained immersed in the profoundness of the Earthly Martial Realm. His Martial Soul slowly formed, but to Long Chen’s surprise, the transformation was completed when the fog condensed into a miniature humanoid shape that looked blurry and fragile.

The Martial Soul of those at the First Earthly Martial Stage was indeed fragile. It was only when they advanced that its outline became clearer and stronger.

Once his Martial Soul was completed, Long Chen felt like he could control the essence in his body through it.

He was genuinely surprised by how perfectly he could control it. He felt like he was the miniature humanoid inside his sea of consciousness. Looking through the Martial Soul’s eyes allowed him to observe his body and control it perfectly, down to the smallest group of muscles.

The Martial Soul was complete.

Through it, he could control his strength and body perfectly.

Long Chen was elated at how precise it was.

He knew that he was now at the Earthly Martial Realm.

He thought he had obtained a new life once he reached the Ninth Passage Stage, but now he knew he was wrong. A bigger change had occurred when he advanced into the Earthly Martial Realm.

Long Chen was now a true cultivator after advancing into the Three Martial Realms.

Only those who advanced into the Earthly Martial Stage were considered true martial artists.

A martial artist was also someone who lived for martial arts.

Long Chen thought everything was over after his Martial Soul was formed.

All he needed to do was wake up and leave the place through the Mini Teleporter.

But something unexpected happened.

A Martial Soul was supposed to form in the center of one’s sea of consciousness, but in Long Chen’s case, that spot was taken over by the mysterious Dragon Jade Pendant and the Inherited Blood Essence.

Long Chen’s Martial Soul could never dream of overtaking them.

The Dragon Jade Pendant suddenly exuded a force that pulled Long Chen’s Martial Soul towards the center. It then placed Long Chen’s Martial Soul above it.

So now a strange scene unfolded in his sea of consciousness.

The Inherited Blood Essence was at the bottom, the Dragon Jade Pendant at the middle, and his Martial Soul at the top.

The three of them were lined up perfectly.

Both the Martial Soul and the Inherited Blood Essence appeared to be controlled by the Dragon Jade Pendant.

Just then, out of Long Chen’s control, the Dragon Jade Pendant exuded another force that took one ten-thousandth[1] of the Inherited Blood Essence and merged it with his Martial Soul.

The minuscule amount didn’t affect the Inherited Blood Essence, but it caused a massive change in his Martial Soul. His Martial Soul slowly changed from a miniature humanoid to a shimmering dragon.

The one ten-thousandth of the Inherited Blood Essence had fused into his Martial Soul due to the mysterious power of the Dragon Jade Pendant.

Which was why his Martial Soul had transformed into the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon’s visage.

The shape of the Martial Soul was not superficial. Any changes in its shape would determine its quality and strength.

When a demonic beast reached the King-tier, it would also undergo a transformation. They would form something called the Demonic Soul. The Demonic Qi in their body would transform into Demonic Essence. Each demonic beast would develop a Demonic Soul that was an exact replica of their body. For example, the Black Water Viper would’ve had a Demonic Soul that looked exactly like its real body.

This was why Long Chen’s case was special. Even though he was human on the outside, his Martial Soul had taken the shape of a dragon. It was likely that once his body had merged completely with the Inherited Blood Essence, his body and soul would also take the forms of a true Dragon Ancestor.

But it was not accurate to say that Long Chen was like Xiaolang in that he would become a demonic beast.

The Primordial Dragons were different from demonic beasts. Demonic beasts were in a category of their own. Primordial Dragons, on the other hand, were distantly related to humans. Even though he would become a dragon one day, he would still be related to humans.

For now, the transformation of his Martial Soul brought no benefits, but he was certain that something extremely beneficial would occur for him in the future.

This made Long Chen ponder what would happen to Xiaolang. Him becoming a Sun Devouring Wolf was purely an accident.

He has a human soul but the body of the Sun Devouring Wolf. I wonder if he will have a humanoid Martial Soul or a beast-shaped Demonic Soul?

Long Chen woke up once his Martial Soul had formed.

The cocoon formed by the yellow Earthly Qi slowly disappeared. Long Yue and Huangfu Fengchen saw him slowly appear in the middle. Both of them had the same sense of confusion when they first saw Long Chen emerge. They had a feeling that they were looking at a coiling Primordial Dragon rather than Long Chen.

They blinked and saw that Long Chen was back to normal again.

Long Chen closed his eyes and felt the strength on his body through his Martial Soul. He looked over the eighteen Martial Veins resembling Primordial Dragons, the nine Martial Meridians, and the flowing blood-red Dragon Soul Essence. It flowed through his body and condensed within his nine Martial Meridians. The whirlpool of essence continued to swirl as the blood-red suns burned.

Almost half of Long Chen’s strength originated from the nine burning suns.

Advancing to the Three Martial Realms has truly brought about a massive change.

The immense strength inside his body made him sigh in admiration.

Thanks to his Martial Soul, he could completely hide his aura and strength to appear as a regular human, but the strength in his eyes and his intentional movements could not be covered.

Long Yue flashed one of her rare smiles when she saw that Long Chen had succeeded.

“Now that you’ve made your breakthrough, all seven of us are at the Earthly Martial Realm. I think that you’re stronger than the others now, so I hope you will take care of your senior brothers and sisters.”

“It’s all thanks to your teachings that I managed to advance. Also, we are all siblings, so I will always fight for them!” Long Chen smiled.

Huangfu Fengchen chuckled and said, “Hey, he just advanced into the Earthly Martial Realm. Why are you asking him to work immediately?”

Long Yue ignored him. “SInce you are at the Earthly Martial Realm and we can’t get the Red Emperor Seal, we should head out now. I fear that they might’ve set an ambush for us.”

She was right. Yang Ningfeng was the sort of guy that would set a trap since he knew Long Yue would have to come out one day. She would be in trouble if she was trapped. Thankfully, two days was too short of a time frame to have placed an elaborate trap.

Long Yue was also worried about Jiang Wuya and the rest.

Long Chen and Huangfu Fengchen nodded. The two of them said nothing as they stepped onto the Mini Transporters. The price to activate it was harsh—Long Chen had to spend two King Crystals.

This was the second time he had used one of these.

It took significantly longer for this transporter to activate, but this one was much more powerful than the one that Long Chen had used at the Cangyang Kingdom. He felt a force tearing his body from all directions, but he was fine since he had the body of an Earthly Martial Realm cultivator.

Soon, they saw the sun outside.

They looked around cautiously before finding that they were on the outskirts of the Cloud Dream Swamp. They were just three Li away from Cloud Heaven City.

After confirming that they were safe, Huangfu Fengchen bade them goodbye. “I should head back home soon since we are out now. Long Chen, my daughter still misses you. Do come and pay us a visit if you have the time.”

Long Chen still remembered how he owed her fifty thousand Heavenly Passage Pills. He would naturally visit them one day since he was not the type of person who would break a promise he had made with a lady.
