Chapter Twenty-Five: The Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor Takes Human Form; Li Changsheng Gives Her a Name

Everyone finished roasting the boastful Lian Changsheng and quickly lost interest, turning their attention back to the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor as she underwent her tribulation.

The lightning dispersed by Lian Changsheng was absorbed by the Formation Array and transformed into gentler energy, which was fed back into the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor. Her cultivation rose again, reaching eight hundred and fifty thousand years.

The Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor gave a joyful roar toward the heavens, then began taking human form.

Purple dragon energy boiled around the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor. Her dragon body shrank at a visible speed, slowly transforming into a human shape.

Before long, the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor vanished from everyone's sight. In her place stood a mature beauty with purple hair. Her hair fell to her waist like star marrow, with fireflies seeming to flit through the strands as dark gold and deep violet iridescence flowed across them. Her brows resembled distant mountains touched by ink, and the corners of her eyes tilted slightly upward. Her golden pupils seemed like cold pools filled with molten gold. Whenever she looked at someone, she carried three parts laziness and seven parts aloofness.

"Thank you, Master. I will follow you from now on and never betray you." The purple-haired woman quickly flew before Lian Changsheng and spoke with sincere respect.

No one paid much attention to the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor's respectful attitude. After all, Lian Changsheng had effectively saved her twice. Without him, she would have died long ago.

Only the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor herself knew how much this tribulation had helped her.

During this tribulation, the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor had not merely broken through eight hundred thousand years of cultivation. She had directly reached eight hundred and thirty thousand years, and after being baptized by the energy of the lightning tribulation, her cultivation had risen to eight hundred and fifty thousand years.

In terms of physique, after being tempered and cleansed by the energy and lightning strikes, the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor's body was now no weaker than that of the hundred-thousand-year soul beast Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. It was practically a qualitative leap.

Her bloodline had also evolved tremendously. If the True Dragon Essence had still been of some use to the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor before, then that drop of True Dragon Essence was now completely useless to her bloodline. The strength of her bloodline had reached the level of a dragon king, surpassing Di Tian.

More importantly, the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor had awakened the inheritance within the dragon bloodline—Dragon Emperor's Three Claws. Though Dragon Emperor's Three Claws consisted of only three attacks, the final move could rival Di Tian's Dragon God Claw. This showed just how precious this bloodline inheritance was.

These great fortuitous opportunities would let the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor advance unhindered in her future cultivation. As long as she cultivated step by step, she could break through to a million years.

However, the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor knew that even so, the greatest opportunity for her was still the man before her—Lian Changsheng.

From the moment she had met Lian Changsheng until now, the strength, talent, and methods he had displayed made him the most heaven-defying human she had ever seen since birth. Even the Sea God of the past could not compare with him.

Moreover, she could sense that the power Lian Changsheng had just used could hardly be called Soul Power anymore. That kind of power could no longer be described as Soul Power. It seemed to be the original form of the power between heaven and earth.

With her several hundred thousand years of experience, the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor quickly realized that Lian Changsheng was about to become a god. He was proving the Dao through three powers at once—Soul Power, physique, and Spiritual Power—and creating his own Divine Realm.

He was not like the deities who relied on faith to become gods, such as the Sea God and the God of Angels. Their Divine Realms were condensed from the power of faith, and their strength was inseparably connected to the faith in the lower realm.

Lian Changsheng was different. He relied entirely on himself, using his own strength to attain immortality. In other words, he would become a god through strength, and his prospects after godhood were limitless.

Moreover, he seemed to have comprehended some Laws. One had to know that Laws could only be comprehended after becoming a god, or through a god's bestowal. Some gods even made no further progress in their understanding of Laws after becoming gods, yet Lian Changsheng's understanding of Laws had already surpassed that of some deities.

Thus, it could be imagined that once Lian Changsheng became a god, his strength would absolutely not be inferior to a God King. By following Lian Changsheng, she could become a god in his wake after he attained godhood, and would also have his protection in the Divine Realm.

Sea God Island

After all, the Divine Realm did not allow soul beasts to become gods. The only exception was if one served as a subordinate or close attendant of a powerful being from the Divine Realm. Lian Changsheng was the perfect candidate.

Having thought through all of this, the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor naturally became Lian Changsheng's willing subordinate. Of course, Shui Rou, whose overall strength was close to hers, surely had similar thoughts. That was why she had taken the initiative to follow Lian Changsheng. After all, the two beasts had lived for who knew how many years and knew things others did not.

"Yes, as long as you understand. You don't need to call me Master anymore. Just call me Mister. I don't have that many rules here."

"By the way, do you have a name?"

Lian Changsheng had no idea what the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor was thinking. He spoke to her. Of course, even if he had known, so what? A master with no advantages or benefits—who would follow him?

"I don't, sir. Why don't you give me a name?" the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor said.

Seeing this, Lian Changsheng looked at the mature beauty that was the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor and said, "Since you are a dragon, your surname will be Ao from now on. Your name will be Ao Shuang."

"Yes. From now on, I will be called Ao Shuang." The Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor was not concerned about her name. As long as she could remain at Lian Changsheng's side, that was enough.

Hearing this, Lian Changsheng secretly thought, It seems I'm pretty good at naming people. She didn't even refuse. Hehe.

Listening to the conversation between her master and mother, Ali suddenly said, "Master, why? I always feel that Mother's name is better than mine."

"Can you give me a new one?"

Hearing this, Lian Changsheng realized that Ali's mental age was still quite young, so he directly fooled her. "You're still too young. How about Ali?"

Ali was confused. She felt that something was strange but could not put her finger on what it was, so she merely answered with an "Oh." Then she said to Lian Changsheng, "Master, I want to take human form too. I want Dragon Essence too."

Seeing this, Lian Changsheng did not indulge Ali and directly replied, "No. What do you think Dragon Essence is? Chinese cabbage?"

"Hurry up and go swimming. Tomorrow, we still have to go to Sea God Island to collect our debt."

Ali still wanted to argue. Ao Shuang pulled her over and whispered into her ear, "Ali, stop fussing. Go take human form obediently. Mister won't mistreat you in the future."

Hearing this, Ali's mood immediately improved, and she said happily, "Then I'll go take human form."

After saying that, Ali began taking human form as white light radiated from her body.

Lian Changsheng did not care about Ao Shuang's little scheme. He had even begun planning some fortuitous opportunities for Ali in his mind.

(After Lian Changsheng becomes an immortal, his Soul Power will once again transform into qi rather than divine power. For now, it is merely Soul Power in the form of qi.)

(The author is terrible at naming things. Please don't mind it.)
