Chapter 290 - The Celestial Emperor’s Bloodline (1/2)
Jiao Qingtu's prowess was beyond the expectation of the public Qi Practitioners, the abundance of his arcane energy has exceeded the boundaries of the Atman Body level. He was even stronger than a few certain Inner Core Qi Practitioners!
His Yuan Shen was the nine-headed dragon god, which had allowed him to embrace an abundance of arcane energy; in addition to the heritage of the Ancestral Dragon and the hard work he had poured in for nearly a year, his arcane energy was further enhanced!
In the Ancestral Dragon Ritual of the Eastern Sea dragon race, the strongest participant would be bestowed with the heritage of the Ancestral Dragon. However, as this year round's Ancestral Dragon Ritual was the grandest among them all, sacrificing countless sea race Qi Practitioners, the Ancestral Dragon heritage Jiao Qingtu was given was the most complete!
For the past few rituals, the dragon Qi Practitioners that were given the Ancestral Dragon heritage had their own incredible achievements, most of them had eventually become dragon magnates, eventually reaching the Imminent Deity stage. There were even a few that had ascended to dragon gods!
While Jiao Qingtu's Ancestral Dragon heritage was even more complete than theirs, one could infer the depth of his potential!
Furthermore, the dragon race was naturally strong since birth, having a strong mortal body and arcane energy to match. With such a foundation, in addition to the Ancestral Dragon heritage, Jiao Qingtu's strength was superior to even Xia Shengchu!
Ever since they exchanged their first strike, Jiao Qingtu's ranking never stopped climbing up through the Greenhorn Board, every second he would surpass countless names, and soon enough, his name disappeared from the Greenhorn Board before reappearing in the Warrior Board!
Since coming to the Lesser Void World, he had never challenged anyone and remained at the bottom most of the Lang Ya—Greenhorn Board. But now, as the battle with Zhong Yue raged on, he had unleashed his full prowess to the world!
Bai Canghai was thrilled looking at the battle, he praised, "The Jiao Dragons are the strongest combatants in the whole Eastern Sea, and Senior Martial Brother Jiao Qingtu is the most conspicuous of them all! Junior martial sister from the Qiu family, look, other than the Jiao Clan's heritage, he also had another greater heritage. Such a heritage had been recorded in the books in the Bai Ze Clan, often appearing in the dragon race, it should be the heritage of the Leizhe Clan."
Qiu Jin'er nodded, not knowing whether she really understood his words. Bai Canghai continued saying, "The Leizhe Clan is of the goldy emperor's bloodline, the innate dragon gods. The whole Eastern Sea dragon race are descendants of the Leizhe Clan. It is just that the purity of the Leizhe bloodline is not so high in them. The Leizhe Clan is commonly known as the Ancestral Dragon by the dragon race, revered as the ancestor of all dragons. The dragon pattern behind Senior Martial Brother Jiao Qingtu is the image of the Leizhe Clan. My guess is that even if the heritage he had received from the Ancestral Dragon Ritual is not at the level of the celestial emperor's, it wouldn't be far off either. Now the question is, how much had he attained from that heritage?"
Qiu Jin'er was astonished, "Senior Martial Brother Bai, you really know a lot."
Bai Canghai answered proudly, "The Bai Ze Clan of the Northern Sea, we don't dare to boost much, but we are truly the scholars of the cultivation techniques. We of the Bai Ze Clan have the most detailed records of the cultivation techniques of the different race. As long as a cultivation technique enters the eyes of the public, they will exist in our books. The fundamentals of the techniques, the attributes of the arts, the changes in the skills ... we have records for nearly everything."
Qiu JIn'er was shocked, "Since the Bai Ze Clan knows so much, you must be very strong in finding your opponents' weaknesses, no wonder you can secure the whole North Barren as your territory."
Bai Canghai gently smiled, "We of the Bai Ze Clan don't dare to proclaim that we know everything in this world, but that isn't exactly hyperbole either. Although we can't really replicate all of the cultivation techniques, finding our opponents' weaknesses and taking advantage of that is a fundamental forte of my race."
"Then, senior martial brother, why don't you step out and fight with my senior martial brother?" The curious baby Qiu Jin'er asked.
Immediately, the smile on Bai Canghai's face stiffened. He sheepishly diverted the conversation and said, "Look at Senior Martial Brother Jiao Qingtuu's name, he is now in the top hundred on the Warrior Board, with his strength, even some of the Inner Core Qi Practitioners might not be his match. He will soon supplant the others in the Warrior Board and ascend to first place. It won't even be a shock if he enters the Godlike Board. Your senior martial brother from the Zhong Shan Clan is now facing against the strongest opponent of his life."
Qiu Jin'er looked at the Warrior Board, Jiao Qingtu's name was climbing, higher and higher, surpassing one name after another.
Dragons soared in the mid-air as Jiao Qingtu cast the skills of the Leizhe Clan, every strike he launched out would compress the air around him as if the dimension itself was shuddering!
His mortal body and Yuan Shen coalesced together, morphing into a nine-headed divine dragon; his attack rate was even faster and stronger than the three-headed Xiao Mang Celestial Race as all nine heads of his could cast their own skills independently.
While on the other hand, Zhong Yue stood steadfastly, methodically taking down all of the strikes and skills. He casually launched skills away from his hands to counter the incoming attacks.
He infused the attribute of the sunfire into all of his skills, augmenting his attacks with fire and the ability to incinerate his opponent into ashes. The sunfire was also used to morph into countless forms: Sword Qi, shield patterns and a multitude of other forms that help in combat.
However, despite the success of fending off all of the strikes, Zhong Yue has impotently plunged into a defensive state, passively countering the incoming attacks.
"Senior Martial Brother Jiao Qingtu is indeed strong!"
Bai Canghai praised, "I suppose, he is going to unleash all of his power in a bit. Junior Martial Sister Qiu, Senior Martial Brother Jiao Qingtu has yet to use his full power, and when he does so, it'll be the time your senior martial brother faces his defeat! Quickly, look, he is going all out now!"
Jiao Qingtu's nine heads let out nine different tones of whistles, resounding into a cacophonous symphony that reverberated throughout the sky. Just as he unleashed all of his power, his ranking in the Warrior Board suddenly catapulted to new heights, surpassing Xia Shengchu and ascending to second place in the Warrior Board!
A wild force of arcane energy suffused the air, and the faces of the Qi Practitioners in the city turned dark and gloomy right away. Such potent power, he could even compete with the Qi Practitioners at the peak of Inner Core!
The dragon pattern behind Jiao Qingtu roared ferociously, his ranking took the final ascension in the Warrior Board, reaching first place with him now only a step away from the Godlike Board!
In mid-air, countless Jiao Dragons emerged in quick succession, soaring in the sky!
[Million Dragon Art]!
Jiao Qingtu pushed his hands out, a million dragons surged over and blasted at Zhong Yue. He had launched out his final move, a strike that was the accumulation of all of his power, a strike that carried with it his hope of destroying Zhong Yue, and a strike that would charge him into the Godlike Board!
A protracted deafening whistle suddenly blasted in everyone's ears. Darkness swept away the lights in the sky, but the sun shone brighter than ever as it shone its rays down at the center of the Lesser Void City!
