Ye Xiwen had just integrated into the ground and he felt a dragon claw falling from the sky. It grabbed towards him overwhelmingly, and the roar from the dragon vein met his ears. It sounded lifelike and as if every single scale was shaking. It was angry to the extreme.
Even though it didn’t have its own consciousness, it only had a little instinct given by God. But even if it was just this instinct, but it was extremely terrible.
Dragon veins are born endowed with the shape of a dragon, so they have the fighting instinct of the dragons. The dragons are a natural born fighting race, and they can fight against God. This shows how terrifying it is.
So for these dragon veins, even a Great Sage would feel tricky facing it. They could be torn in half if they were careless.
Although this isn’t a dragon, but to Ye Xiwen, there was no difference from a real dragon. Instead, because it doesn’t have its own consciousness, the fighting instinct is even more terrifying.
The dragon claws were extremely fast. It was its territory underground, and it was quite obvious that Ye Xiwen was slower underground. It was far less handy and smooth as it would have been when he was above the ground.
“Bang!” Ye Xiwen was caught in the dragon claw and far in the distance, there was a loud roar from the dragon veins. His whole body was locked within a huge barrier, so he couldn’t go far. In the midst of it was also a part of a barrier that Ye Xiwen cast later on. But similarly, the barrier and seal was the best weapons to protect him. Even a Great Sage wouldn’t be able to break this barrier. If they wanted to take away the dragon vein, the would have to personally enter the barrier and fight with this huge dragon vein.
“Ha!” Ye Xiwen let out a low growl, his body suddenly bursting into a golden frenzy. At once, all of it turned into the sword’s energy that stretched into the sky, shooting out in all directions.
“Boom!”The Dragon Claw made up of spiritual energy exploded in mid-air, forming clumps of Spiritual Energy which was absorbed by Ye Xiwen.
Ye Xiwen only felt that his whole body was comfortable. His cultivation which was as firm as a dam improved by another small step, and his eyes flashed suddenly.
“The effects of this dragon vein is really unordinary. I only devoured a clump of its claw’s spiritual energy, yet it pushed my cultivation a step forward!” Ye Xiwen couldn’t help but lament.
“That is natural. The dragon vein itself contains some dragon energy, it is a great opportunity for you. If you can devour this dragon vein, you can immediately cross over to be one of the Great Sages!” Ye Mo said .
Ye Xiwen was only a Half-step Great Sage in the early stages now. He was an elite that could cooperate with the Tianyuan mirror to beat an early stage Great Sage. If he managed to cross over to become a Great Sage, how strong would he be?
One has to know that a dragon vein can succeed a big faction, and now all of it was consumed by Ye Xiwen.
It is conceivable how much resources and temptations this is.
However, Ye Xiwen pushed this tempting idea to the back of his mind quickly. Although consuming an entire dragon vein could allow his cultivation improve in leaps and bounds, but that was short-sighted. The biggest use of the dragon vein is to suppress one’s destiny. He needed to nourish his mind and body at all times, so that his ability could grow more and more. There might even be hope to surpass a Great Sage in the long run.
Only the dumbest people would think to consume this dragon vein in a hurry.
Ye Xiwen looked into the distance. He saw that the huge body of the dragon vein bound by the huge barrier. It was entangled together and it could only move within the space of the barrier. But even so, it looked like a small mountain, and Ye Xiwen standing in front of this dragon vein seemed so small.
“Roar!” The loud howl of a dragon caused a terrifying aura to sweep over, causing Ye Xiwen’s clothes to rustle as it’s blown.
The huge face on the dragon vein was filled with a ferocious expression, apparently furious at Ye Xiwen’s intrusion.
Ye Xiwen had an abnormally serious expression. The Tianyuan mirror flashed a blood colored light, and Ye Xiwen immediately changed into his star beast avatar. Although he was now strong enough to compete with a Great Sage, he could sense that the dragon vein in front of him was not easy to deal with. Even a normal Great Sage might fear the fate of being torn apart, he couldn’t risk his deity.
“Whoosh!” Without waiting for him to think, the dragon vein disappeared into thin air within the barrier and reappeared in front of Ye Xiwen waving it’s claws. No one knew when the claws that were blown up by Ye Xiwen earlier regrew.
This was an authentic dragon claw. Many teachings have martial arts that imitate the shape of the dragon claw but it wasn’t authentic. No matter how a human used their two hands, it was impossible to look completely similar to a real dragon claw. Only those from the dragon clan has the greatest power when they use it fully.
Although this dragon vein is not of the dragon clan, but compared with the dragon clan, it only lacked the self-consciousness and it isn’t in a flesh and blood body. When it used the Dragon Claw, it tore through the space.
The dragon claw was like five sharp swords, killing fiercely. It was as if it wanted Ye Xiwen’s existence to go extinct that very instant.
Ye Xiwen was shocked, it was such a high speed. With this kind of speed, a normal Great Sage would have exploded.
His speed has always been his pride. He had escaped from the Great Sage when he was still in the Holy Realm. It should be said that he has escaped from the hand of a Great Sage while he was still a Half Sage[1]. It could be seen that his speed was incredible and even a Great Sage couldn’t catch up with him. Not to mention that right now he was already a half-step Great Sage and he was really only one step away from crossing over to become a Great Sage. But he was actually caught by the dragon claw while he was in the barrier at this speed.
The speed of this dragon was really rare to see in his life! It was like a fish in water inside the barrier!
Fortunately, this barrier is not in the soil itself, but separated by another void. Otherwise Ye Xiwen would be in trouble.
Although fleeing underground was a common magical martial art, but ever since the true way, human warriors started obtaining abilities that they weren’t inherently born with like flying; diving in water; and walking on fire.
What was the true way? It is to return to the basics. Aside from the truth of the martial ways, there was also the truth of the human body. As the biology studies of the creatures on earth says, mixed raced tend to be different and better. Any species under the starry sky is better than a pure blooded species.
Those sub species of dragon often needed to evolve again and again to purify the impurities in its blood to become a pure blood dragon race. It was so that they might have a chance to become a real dragon race.
The human race is actually similar. In the legends, the ancient human beings have various special abilities. They were born powerful warriors. There was nothing they couldn’t do, from opening rocks and splitting apart mountains. You could see it from the special constitution of human beings, those are the people who have awakened their ancestry bloodlines. That’s why they are particularly strong amongst the ordinary warriors.
The true way stimulates the inherent potential in the body starting from a certain extent. In the terms of previous lives, these special abilities are hidden genes, genes that are in deep slumber. Only a minority of people are able to awaken it from birth. Most people have to go through cultivation to stimulate it step by step.
The process of stimulating it bit by bit was by starting from the true way.
However, although he has all kinds of special special abilities that ordinary humans cannot have. After all, it wasn’t a natural instinct. The underground still had too much restraints for him. It was far from the dragon vein that was a natural spirit, like a fish in water.
Ye Xiwen didn’t hesitate, and immediately blasted out a violent punch.
“Boom!” The claw and fist colliding. Endless rays flew everywhere, illuminating the barrier and the large space collapsed.
Ye Xiwen’s fist actually started to hurt faintly. He was shocked, this is Star Beast avatar. If it was replaced by the deity, his whole arm would have been broken by a punch.
It has always been him relying on his Tyrant body to break others’ arms in one punch. He’s never met something that had a physical body that was so much stronger than him.
Moreover, this is not physical, it is just a collection of spiritual energy. This dragon vein is simply outrageous. A normal Great Sage is really not its opponent at all.
Ye Xiwen was also fortunate that he didn’t come down hastily at first, otherwise, he would have been looking for his own death.
“Ha!” Countless elixirs started burning inside the Tian Yuan Mirror that was in Ye XIwen’s body. The consumption of Star Beast avatar was too large. At least one billion elixirs would be consumed in a full-out fight. Most of them were used in the last breakthrough, and there was only about one billion eight hundred million in total. There was only enough to fight once.
But at this time he also had no choice. He absolutely had to obtain the dragon vein. Who knew if there would be any changes the next time? He didn’t stop and accelerated the consumption of the elixirs instead, burning them wildly.
Ye Xiwen rushed forward and fought with the dragon vein.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
The terrible bombardment between a person and a dragon spread out.
“Roar!” The dragon vein roared, opening its mouth wide. The endless Spiritual energy around it was instantly absorbed, forming a huge spirit bomb.
“Boom!” The spirit bomb was blasted out in an instant. Even if it were a Great Sage would be broken into pieces if they were to be blasted by such a huge spirit bomb.
But time has not allowed him to think more. Moreover it was quite spacious in this barrier for his humanoid figure. However, he had limited space when it comes to facing the spirit bomb that was rolling over like a hill. He wasn’t able to hide away from it.
The reason why he chose to fight the dragon vein with all his might was because he considered this. The space was small, and no matter where you tried to move there wasn’t enough room. He could only give his all and fight to the death.
Ye Xiwen spread his hands, and a bloody barrier appeared in front of him.
“Boom!” That huge spirit bomb hit the barrier fiercely. A huge pothole blasted out on the barrier, and the cracks scattered in all directions.
“Ha!” Ye Xiwen shouted. Ten million elixirs burned in his body as a terrifying power poured through his body.
