In terms of status and background, Ye Ming was the young master of a forbidden zone, a true Great Emperor's son, not to mention his current strength.
It could be said that Golden-Winged Little Peng King was utterly crushed by Ye Ming in every regard.
Covered in dust and grime, he flew out of the massive pit, his gaze filled with unwillingness.
"Let's go!"
Golden-Winged Little Peng King said to his companion, Que Biying, beside him.
Her graceful body was shrouded in Black Flame. She was a peerlessly beautiful, proud figure standing in the void, her skin crystalline as if carved from ice and forged from snow. Her long lashes hung low, her gaze unfathomably deep. Noble and aloof, Que Biying's phoenix eyes, like glazed gemstones, looked toward Ye Ming.
At this sight.
Pfft!
Golden-Winged Little Peng King spat out a mouthful of blood, suffering a blow both physically and mentally.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort left behind, he turned and departed, transforming into a streak of golden light that slashed across the sky.
"You're still not leaving?"
Ye Ming looked at the female prodigy of the Dragon Sparrow Clan before him with a puzzled expression.
He could tell that she did not seem to intend to contend with him for the Dragon Blood Bodhi, which was why Ye Ming had not chosen to attack her.
"You're really handsome!"
She was an incomparably proud woman. Among the geniuses of this Supreme Secret Realm, the Dragon Sparrow Clan's female prodigy stood at the very pinnacle. There were very few people she deemed worthy of her notice.
The darkness around her faded away, revealing a peerlessly beautiful face. Her cheeks were slightly flushed as she spoke those words to Ye Ming.
Boom!
After leaving those words behind, Black Flame rose around her, burning the void as she turned and left.
"Uh..."
Now it was Ye Ming's turn to be dumbfounded. He touched his face. Though he knew he was handsome, having someone say it aloud in public was rather embarrassing...
At this moment, everyone had already left under the pressure of Ye Ming's overwhelming might. Aside from Ye Ming, only Liu Mingyue and Yu Linglong remained at the scene.
"Hehe... Has the Imperial Son found another peach blossom romance?"
A seductive voice rang out. Her curvaceous figure rose and fell in alluring waves, her red dress fluttering as a bewitching aura radiated from her body. It was Yu Linglong.
"Hmph!"
A proud, haughty snort sounded. Ye Ming had now occupied all of Liu Mingyue's heart, and she sensed a trace of threat.
Ye Ming merely smiled calmly at the two women's words. With a flash, he appeared beside a dragon-shaped ancient tree.
The ancient tree stood a hundred zhang tall, rooted in the void. An ancient aura rushed toward them, releasing wisps of Dragon Might. It was the Dragon Blood Bodhi.
Its branches and leaves were luxuriant, seemingly blotting out half the heavens. Thumb-sized fruits grew upon it, radiating blood-red light and containing extremely powerful Spiritual Power.
"So this is the Dragon Blood Bodhi. It does feel as though it shares the same origin as that drop of True Dragon Blood I previously devoured!"
Ye Ming gazed at the ancient tree before him and spoke curiously.
"True Dragon Blood!"
As soon as Ye Ming said this, Yu Linglong's little mouth fell open slightly. She marveled inwardly. True Dragon Blood was no less precious than Great Emperor Blood; it was something from legend.
She sighed inwardly. Is this the foundation of the Primordial Forbidden Zone? Although the Joyous Union Sect was affiliated with the Primordial Forbidden Zone, Yu Linglong had never been qualified to go there even now, despite being the dignified Saintess!
"Since that is the case, devour all thirty-three Dragon Blood Bodhis. Perhaps they can make the True Dragon Blood within your body even stronger!"
Liu Mingyue spoke from the side. In her heart, Ye Ming was now her master, and her loyalty was beyond doubt. She would do anything that benefited Ye Ming.
Of course, another reason was that Liu Mingyue did not want Yu Linglong to take advantage of Ye Ming.
"Yes, since the Imperial Son already possesses True Dragon Blood, you should naturally devour all of it!"
Seeing this, Yu Linglong had no crooked thoughts either as she spoke.
After all, the Joyous Union Sect still relied on the Primordial Forbidden Zone. Without it, the entire Joyous Union Sect might have long since been jointly destroyed by those righteous sects!
"Good!"
Ye Ming did not stand on ceremony. Incomparably terrifying blood energy surged within his body—it was the True Dragon Blood that had always been hidden inside him, now awakened.
At this moment, golden radiance coiled around Ye Ming's entire body. He seemed to transform into a true dragon, Dragon Qi circling him in a total of one hundred and eight strands.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
At that moment, perhaps sensing the aura of True Dragon Blood on Ye Ming's body, the enormous Dragon Blood Bodhi tree began to sway and tremble violently.
Ye Ming did not need to pick them himself. All thirty-three Dragon Blood Bodhi fruits flew toward him, bursting apart along the way and transforming into blood-red Dragon Shadows.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Dragon roars rang out, shaking all directions. Brilliant radiance shone forth, illuminating the sky as it drilled into Ye Ming's body!
Bang!
Ye Ming's clothes exploded apart, revealing his robust physique. His aura was vast and surging like rolling thunder. After devouring thirty-three Dragon Blood Bodhis, the power of Ye Ming's physical body rose steadily, growing stronger and stronger.
"Gulp..."
At this moment, gazing at Ye Ming's bare upper body, the Demoness Zixia's beautiful eyes turned hazy as she swallowed.
"What are you looking at!"
A chilly voice rang out. It was Liu Mingyue beside her, casting a disdainful look at the Demoness...
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, several months had passed since the geniuses entered the Supreme Secret Realm.
They dug three feet into the ground, leaving not a blade of grass behind. The geniuses had almost completely swept clean the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the outer region. Of course, though they were treasures in the eyes of ordinary geniuses, most were things experts like Ye Ming would not even spare a glance at.
They advanced toward the depths of the Supreme Secret Realm...
The heavens and earth were dim, thick mist pervading this place. From time to time, some black substance churned within it.
The brown earth was a land of deathly silence, where not even an inch of grass grew. Even the spiritual trees that once stood there were sparse and withering.
It was as though time and space here had been frozen for eternity, remaining unchanged throughout endless ages.
Yet within this deathly silence, powerful figures gathered here one after another. They were the geniuses of the current age. After several months, they had finally arrived at the most secret place within the Supreme Secret Realm!
"That is..."
At this moment, everyone looked ahead. There stood a pitch-black divine tower a hundred zhang tall, dense Dark Matter pouring from within its body...
