Ren Xiaoyao has always maintained a high degree of vigilance. His Divine Sense is like a large invisible net, covering every inch of the surrounding space tightly. Not even the slightest movement can escape his perception.
Just after he keenly confirmed that the chilling aura of Heavenly Venerate had completely disappeared into the distance, and that the pressure as heavy as Mount Tai Crushing Down no longer remained, his heartstrings, which had been as tight as a full bow string, finally relaxed slowly.
His whole body felt relieved and relaxed completely, as if a towering mountain peak that had been under heavy pressure for a long time had finally lifted the burden off his shoulders.
In fact, as early as in the thrilling battle before, when Heavenly Venerate was like a deadly hunter hidden in the depths of darkness, lurking quietly aside and secretly watching the development of the battle, Ren Xiaoyao relied on his extraordinary keen intuition and extremely powerful Divine Sense to immediately detect the existence of Heavenly Venerate.
However, Ren Xiaoyao is by no means the kind of reckless person who easily reveals his emotions and thoughts. He knows that at such a critical moment, any slight emotional fluctuation or behavioral flaw may become a breakthrough for the enemy's attack.
With his palace and strategy, he naturally would not expose his awareness easily, but chose to endure it quietly.
You must know that Heavenly Venerate itself is an extremely powerful and prestigious existence. Its power is unfathomable, as if it is an endless Dark Abyss.
Coupled with the Divine Dragon, who is still extremely fierce and has amazing combat power even though he is half-healthy, the combined force of the two is enough to make any strong person fear him.
Even a peerless master like Ren Xiaoyao, who has experienced hundreds of battles and has superior strength, would not dare to be careless in the face of such a powerful combination of opponents, let alone be completely sure that he could cope with it and win easily.
Therefore, at that time, he wisely chose to stand still and wait for the best opportunity.
In the end, he saw the right moment and took action decisively, killing Divine Dragon with lightning speed, successfully forcing Heavenly Venerate back, and won this difficult battle.
At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao was lying on the ground helplessly, his eyes still showed the exhaustion and perseverance after the battle.
His eyes slowly swept across the devastated and messy valley in front of him. The originally lush mountain forest had now become fragmented, with huge boulders scattered all over the ground, and the trees were toppled here and there, and some were even uprooted.
The air was still filled with the faint smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, which seemed to tell the thrilling story of the tragic battle just now.
Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel an indescribable complex emotion in his heart. This victory was too difficult, and the price he paid for it was also extremely heavy.
Now, the spiritual energy in his body that was originally full and surging like a surging river has almost dried up, like a dry lake that has been burned by the scorching sun, with only a few residual water left.
And due to excessive force in performing the extremely powerful "Sole Dominion Over Eternity" stunt that could change the world, the meridians all over his body felt bursts of pain because they could not withstand the huge pressure, as if they were being pierced hard by countless steel needles. Every breath was accompanied by the stinging pain in the meridians.
"The most urgent thing right now is to restore your spiritual power as soon as possible and find ways to further enhance your strength."
Ren Xiaoyao thought secretly in his heart, his eyes as deep as the sea shone with unwavering light, like two bright stars, lighting up his path in the darkness.
At this time, the familiar text message appeared in front of Ren Xiaoyao's eyes, like a ray of light in the darkness, bringing him a glimmer of hope.
[If you kill Half-Blood Divine Dragon, you can get clues about Advanced Spirit Stone Mine Vein.]
Soon, detailed clues about Advanced Spirit Stone Mine Vein appeared in front of Ren Xiaoyao, and the clear lines of text seemed to be the guidance of destiny.
[Advanced Spirit Stone Mine Vein, located in the deep sea, has been formed for thousands of years.]
"The land of the deep sea!" Seeing this text message, Ren Xiaoyao also had a look of surprise in his eyes.
In fact, when Ren Xiaoyao successfully broke through to Spirit Realm First Heaven, his extremely powerful Divine Sense spread like a tide towards the vast continent at his feet, like a tireless explorer, not sparing any corner, carefully searching for possible resources.
After an in-depth and comprehensive exploration, the results were disappointing - this seemingly vast and promising continent did not have any commendable resources. It seemed like a barren desert without any life.
However, who would have thought?
In this seemingly worthless sea area, there is actually a precious and extremely valuable Advanced Spirit Stone Mine Vein hidden!
This news was undoubtedly like the bright fireworks that suddenly bloomed in the night sky, instantly lighting up Ren Xiaoyao's eyes and igniting Fire of Hope in his heart.
Faced with such a tempting treasure, how could Ren Xiaoyao hesitate at all?
His figure flashed, like a black lightning piercing the night sky, and he followed the system's guidance without hesitation and rushed towards the mysterious location.
His speed was extremely fast, and the surrounding scenery flew past like a phantom, leaving behind blurry afterimages.
You know, for ordinary Martial Artist, it is simply a fantasy to stay under the bottomless and dangerous sea for a long time.
In the deep sea, not only is the water pressure huge enough to crush a steel-like body, but there are also countless unknown dangers hidden, which may be ferocious sea beasts or strange undercurrents.
But Ren Xiaoyao is different. He possesses such magical skills as Five Elements Evasion Technique, among which he has perfected the art of water escape to Stove Fire, reaching the pinnacle of perfection.
Because of this, the endless water is almost useless to him, and he can move freely through it without any hindrance, as easily as a fish swimming in the water.
It didn't take long for Ren Xiaoyao to arrive at the location indicated by the system at lightning speed. However, when he actually stood here, he couldn't help but feel a sense of solemnity in his heart.
It turned out that there was an amazingly powerful seal here. The seal was like a huge transparent barrier, emitting a mysterious and powerful light. It was like an indestructible fortress standing in front of him, blocking his way to explore the treasure. The seal was engraved with ancient and mysterious runes, and each rune shone with a strange light, as if telling an ancient history and warning anyone who tried to break in.
Ren Xiaoyao stood quietly in front of the seal, with a hint of thinking in his eyes.
He knew that it was not easy to break the seal. He needed to use his wisdom and strength to find the flaw in the seal and unlock its secrets. He took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, mobilized his Divine Sense, and carefully probed into the seal, trying to sense the structure and source of power of the seal, and find a clue to crack the seal...
Just as Ren Xiaoyao was concentrating on exploring the seal, a powerful and strange aura quietly came from behind him. This aura was mixed with the majesty and brutality of a dragon, as well as a kind of human cunning and coldness. The two completely different auras blended together wonderfully, forming a creepy sense of oppression.
Ren Xiaoyao was startled, Divine Sense retracted instantly, opened his eyes suddenly, and stepped back several feet like lightning. At the same time, he already clenched the weapon in his hand, and looked sharply towards the direction of the breath like an eagle.
Not far away, a terrifying figure that was half dragon and half human slowly appeared.
Its upper body has a strong human body, with bulging muscles and a sense of strength. Its skin shows a dark purple color, covered with fine scales, shining with an icy sheen.
The lower body is a thick dragon tail. The scales on the dragon tail are larger and harder, like black shields. There are sharp barbs at the end of the tail, exuding a frightening aura.
Its head is even more peculiar. It has the characteristics of a dragon's head, sharp teeth, and blood-red vertical pupils, but it also has some human outlines. There is a crown-like protrusion on its forehead, emitting a faint light.
Ren Xiaoyao felt a sense of vigilance in his heart, knowing that the opponent in front of him was definitely not a kind person.
At this critical moment, he showed True Eye of Breaking Illusions without hesitation.
In an instant, his eyes bloomed with a strange light, like two bright stars, penetrating the fog in front of him and seeing everything about his opponent.
Through True Eye of Breaking Illusions's investigation, Ren Xiaoyao discovered the identity of this half-dragon and half-human.
[The third prince born from the union of Ao Kun, Human Race and Dragon Clan is the half-demon Dragon Clan, Shore Realm, Sea Domain Dragon Palace.]
Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. If he were at his peak, he would naturally be able to kill Ao Kun with just one hand, but now that he was seriously injured, Shore Realm could also create huge trouble for him.
But there was no fear in his eyes, instead they shone with determination.
He knows very well that escaping cannot solve any problem. Only by facing it bravely can there be a chance of survival.
Ao Kun looked down at Ren Xiaoyao with a look of extreme contempt in its eyes, as if Ren Xiaoyao was just an insignificant ant in its eyes.
It opened its big mouth and let out a low and mocking laugh, "Hahahaha, human being, how dare you try to break this seal? Are you even worthy of it?"
Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were as cold as frost. He stared at Ao Kun closely without any fear. He responded coldly, "It's not your hybrid dragon's turn to make irresponsible remarks about what I do."
Hearing this, the disdain in Ao Kun's eyes became even greater. It slowly raised a huge paw, pointed at Ren Xiaoyao and said, "Ignorant human, I am Ao Kun, the dragonborn of the deep sea, one of the overlords of this sea area. If you, a weak human, surrender to me obediently and become my pet, maybe I can spare your life, otherwise, today will be your death!"
Ren Xiaoyao felt a surge of anger in his heart. He hated the contempt and threats from others the most, especially the attitude of treating him as a plaything that could be controlled at will.
He clenched the weapon in his hand, and the spiritual power in his body began to circulate slowly. Although the previous battle with Divine Dragon and Heavenly Venerate had caused him great losses, at this moment his fighting spirit was completely aroused.
"You want me to be your pet? It's simply a wishful thinking! Today, I'll show you what I, Ren Xiaoyao, can do!"
Ren Xiaoyao shouted loudly, and in a flash, he rushed towards Ao Kun like a black stream of light. He raised the weapon in his hand high and slashed towards the opponent's head with a sharp Sword Qi.
When Ao Kun saw that Ren Xiaoyao dared to take the initiative to attack, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but more importantly, he was still disdainful.
It waved its dragon tail calmly, and the dragon's tail was like a huge steel whip, whipping towards Ren Xiaoyao's weapon with the sound of howling wind.
"Dang!" There was a loud sound, and Ren Xiaoyao felt a huge force coming from the weapon, which made his arms numb and his whole body was thrown backward several feet.
But he quickly adjusted his body shape in the air and landed firmly on the ground, leaving deep footprints on the ground with his feet.
Ao Kun saw this and laughed again, "You dare to resist with this little ability? Human being, you should surrender obediently and become my pet. I will make you live thousands of times better than other humans in this deep sea."
Ren Xiaoyao wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth due to the impact just now, and his eyes showed determination and unyielding. "Stop talking nonsense, come back if you have the ability!"
Having said that, he once again mobilized the spiritual power in his body to prepare for Ao Kun's next attack. At the same time, he was secretly thinking about the opponent's weaknesses and looking for opportunities to counterattack.
Ao Kun Seeing Ren Xiaoyao being so stubborn, a flash of fierceness flashed in its eyes. It roared angrily, and black mist began to surround its body. These mists contained powerful energy, like strips of The black poisonous snake was hovering in the air. Then, it opened its big mouth and sprayed out a black energy wave, sweeping towards Ren Xiaoyao. Wherever the energy wave passed, the space was distorted and a harsh scream was emitted.
Ren Xiaoyao's eyes flashed. He knew that the power of this energy wave was huge. If he resisted head-on, he would be severely damaged.
He quickly performed the exquisite Movement Method, leaving a trail of afterimages on the spot, skillfully dodging the energy wave attacks.
At the same time, his eyes were firmly fixed on Ao Kun, looking for the flaws exposed by the opponent during the attack, and preparing to seize the opportunity to counterattack.
Ao Kun Seeing that his attack was easily dodged, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, and he kept letting out low roars. The black mist became thicker and thicker, completely covering his figure, making him look even more mysterious and terrifying.
Immediately afterwards, Ao Kun's figure flashed in the mist, and instantly appeared behind Ren Xiaoyao. The huge dragon claws, with a sharp claw wind, clawed hard at Ren Xiaoyao's back.
Ren Xiaoyao's heart was ringing with alarm, and relying on his keen intuition, he lunged forward, narrowly dodging this fatal blow.
However, Ao Kun's attack did not end there. The dragon's tail was like a black python, sweeping over and bringing up a strong hurricane.
Ren Xiaoyao was swept away by this hurricane, and his body involuntarily retreated. He quickly gathered his spiritual power and formed a defensive barrier in front of him.
With a "bang" sound, Ao Kun's dragon tail hit the defensive barrier heavily. The powerful impact caused countless cracks to appear in the barrier instantly, as if a fragile glass vessel was about to break.
Ren Xiaoyao felt a huge impact force coming from him, and his arm ached for a while, almost unable to maintain the barrier. But he gritted his teeth and mobilized the remaining spiritual power in his body to strengthen the defensive barrier.
In this fierce fight, Ren Xiaoyao constantly observed Ao Kun's attack method and rhythm.
He found that although Ao Kun was powerful, it relied too much on its own strength and brutal moves when attacking, and there were some slight gaps in the connection of the moves.
Ren Xiaoyao's heart moved, secretly thinking about how to use these gaps to fight back.
Just when Ao Kun waved his dragon claw again, preparing to launch an attack, Ren Xiaoyao saw the right moment and used the "Single" technique. The surrounding space seemed to solidify at this moment, and time seemed to have stopped flowing.
Ao Kun's movements became sluggish, as if he was restrained by a kind of Invisible Power.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ren Xiaoyao's body was like lightning, and he stepped forward. The weapon in his hand stabbed Ao Kun's neck with a sharp light.
Ao Kun roared angrily and struggled to break free from the constraints of space. He tilted his head slightly to avoid the fatal blow, but his neck was still scratched by Ren Xiaoyao's weapon, and a trace of Black Blood seeped out from the wound.
Ao Kun felt the pain, and the fierce light in its eyes became stronger. It opened its big mouth and sprayed out a ball of poisonous black mist towards Ren Xiaoyao.
Ren Xiaoyao quickly retreated, but was still brushed by the mist on his arm. Instantly, there was a stinging pain on his arm, the skin began to fester, and the black venom spread rapidly.
Ren Xiaoyao gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and mobilized his spiritual power to heal the wound.
He knew that he could no longer be beaten passively and must fight quickly.
Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath, the spiritual power around his body was running wildly, and the golden light became more and more dazzling. He decided to use the extremely powerful but hugely expensive Divine Ability--Sole Dominion Over Eternity again.
"Sole Dominion Over Eternity!" Ren Xiaoyao slowly spit out these four words, and in an instant, the whole world changed color.
In the originally calm deep sea, huge waves suddenly surged up. The water seemed to be stirred by a Invisible Power, forming a huge whirlpool.
A mysterious and powerful force surged out of Ren Xiaoyao's body and quickly enveloped the entire battlefield.
Ao Kun felt the terror of this power, and a trace of fear flashed in its eyes, but as a strong Shore Realm, how could it give in easily.
It roared angrily, mobilizing all its strength to try to resist this force.
Its body is surrounded by a layer of black light, which is like armor, protecting its body and trying to resist this powerful force.
However, in front of Sole Dominion Over Eternity's Divine Ability, Ao Kun's resistance seemed so feeble.
The Mysterious Power was like an invisible giant hand, tightly grasping Ao Kun's body. Cracks began to appear in Ao Kun's body. Black Blood continued to flow out from the cracks, dyeing the surrounding seawater red.
Ao Kun struggled crazily and let out desperate roars, as if telling the world its unwillingness and anger, but it could not escape the shackles of this power.
Ren Xiaoyao's face was extremely solemn, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Sole Dominion Over Eternity's Divine Ability consumed a lot of his spiritual and mental energy, making him feel exhausted.
But he did not relax at all. He stared at Ao Kun and kept chanting spells in his mouth to maintain the operation of Divine Ability, for fear that Ao Kun would escape the sanction of this power.
As time goes by, there are more and more cracks on Ao Kun's body, and Black Blood keeps flowing.
Its power is constantly passing away, and its life is gradually disappearing.
Finally, with an earth-shaking loud noise, Ao Kun's body completely collapsed and turned into countless fragments, dissipating in the sea water.
Ren Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief slowly, shook his body a few times, and almost fell down.
He forced his exhausted body, knelt on one knee, put his hands on the ground, and gasped for air.
This thrilling battle seemed to drain all the strength from his body, and he felt like a grass that had been ravaged by the strong wind, crumbling.
Every muscle, every nerve and even every cell is shouting crazily, telling of extreme fatigue and sleepiness.
Sweat fell from his forehead like a drop, soaking his clothes, but he didn't even notice it.
However, just when everyone thought everything was about to end, something unexpected happened.
I saw wisps of mysterious and deep black energy beginning to flow slowly among the broken body remains of Ao Kun.
These energies are as if they are alive, intertwined and intertwined, and gradually converge into a dark energy ball.
Ren Xiaoyao, who had been staring closely at the battlefield, was suddenly shocked, and an indescribable intuition came to his heart.
He immediately realized that this energy ball was by no means an ordinary thing, but contained the essence of the powerful power of Ao Kun!
Although his own body was almost reaching its limit at this time, facing such an attractive opportunity, he still gritted his teeth, used his last remaining strength, and stretched out his trembling hands forward with difficulty.
As his palm came closer, the energy ball seemed to feel some kind of call, trembled slightly, and actively flew towards him.
In the blink of an eye, it slipped into his palm and quickly merged into his body along his arm.
Instantly, a surging force surged through his meridians, causing bursts of severe pain and burning sensation wherever it passed.
As soon as the energy ball shining with mysterious light entered Ren Xiaoyao's body, it exploded instantly like water dripping into hot oil.
Immediately afterwards, it dispersed at an astonishing speed, transforming into countless streams of extremely pure energy, like smart little snakes, flowing rapidly along the intricate meridians in Ren Xiaoyao's body.
Ren Xiaoyao suddenly felt an overwhelming force surge through his body.
The spiritual power that had almost dried up and bottomed out like a pool of stagnant water seemed to have been injected into the source of life, and began to recover and grow crazily at an unprecedented speed.
And those meridians that had been seriously damaged due to the fierce battle before, were constantly nourished by this majestic power, slowly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and rejuvenated Vibrant Vitality.
Time passed quietly, and the aura exuding from Ren Xiaoyao became more powerful and vigorous. His whole body was like a volcano about to erupt, containing endless power.
Finally, after a period of accumulation and precipitation, Ren Xiaoyao not only successfully restored his strength to its peak state, but also showed a faint sign of breaking through the shackles of the existing realm!
At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and two dazzling lights shot out from the depths of his eyes, as if they were about to pierce the sky.
He stood up suddenly, his tall body as straight as a pine tree, and his whole body exuded an unparalleled confidence.
At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao can clearly feel the surging power surging in his body. They are jumping happily, as if they are ready to obey their master's orders at any time to destroy all enemies who dare to stand in their way!
