Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

158: The First Demon Dragon in the WorldStepping into the ruins, there was a long, dark bronze corridor, dimly lit only by some light filtering in from outside the bronze door.

After walking for a while, through the corridor, they entered a vast underground palace, where unique bronze structures stood tall, and a towering sacrificial altar was erected, with a Dragon-shaped bronze statue at its center.

Looking around, the area of this underground palace was much larger than the one in the Maple Forest Mountain Range.

The surrounding walls were covered with holes, big and small; the small ones were only human-height, while the large ones were ten or even dozens of meters!

It was hard to imagine what kind of creature would need such large entrances.

Even stranger was why creatures of such vastly different sizes coexisted in this underground palace.

Leaping down the passage, he landed directly on the wide bronze avenue in front of the sacrificial altar, spacious enough to accommodate a hundred people walking hand-in-hand.

As he walked towards the sacrificial altar, he occasionally looked to both sides, noticing many scratches of varying depths on the avenue.

If the adjacent scratches of the same size were considered as one, they resembled the claw marks of some creature.

Judging by the direction of the claw marks, it seemed as though the creature was desperately trying to escape from the sacrificial altar.

Before long, he walked up the nearly hundred-meter-tall sacrificial altar and looked at the Dragon-shaped sculpture.

It was a Demonic Dragon standing in human form with a pair of flesh wings, and the four pairs of Dragon horns growing on either side of its head were the mark of the Demonic Dragon Clan’s highest bloodline.

But strangely, this Demonic Dragon was wrapped in chains, as if undergoing some kind of ritual.

After a moment of thought, he didn’t understand its meaning. He gently touched it with his palm, and a cold current immediately surged into his body.

[Potential points absorbing... 68111317]

[Potential Points: 2768.4]

Qin Jiang’s eyes lit up slightly; nearly two thousand seven hundred potential points exceeded his initial expectations.

He looked at the offering table in front of the statue; besides the utensils used for placing offerings, a slightly darker bronze mask was placed at the edge.

The patterns carved on it were similar to those of a Nightmare Beast, yet somewhat different, seemingly belonging to a more Advanced creature.

He gently picked up the mask, and a cold current surged into his body.

[Potential Points: 3288.4]

Over five hundred potential points surprised him somewhat.

Indeed, masks held an extraordinary status in the Ancient Yu Country.

He put down the mask, not rushing to add points, as some bronze vessels and structures within the underground palace also contained potential points.

Before long, when Qin Jiang returned to the sacrificial altar, his potential points had already reached 3627.8.

Looking at the panel,

[Potential Points: 3627.8]

If possible, he actually wanted to save up his potential points and then evolve the God-Demon True Scripture to the Divine Martial level.

However, with the threat from Huai Country still present, it was better to prioritize improving the Vajra Indestructible Body and Qi Kings Chaotic Sky Halberd for now.

’Potential, Vajra Indestructible Body, fill it up for me.’

Buzz~~~

A hum resonated, and transparent ripples vibrated in all directions, stirring up a layer of dust that hung in mid-air, as if solidified in amber.

This was a manifestation of extreme control over spatial power, sealing off the surrounding space; within his sight, a thought was enough to reach it.

Moreover, it would not produce spatial cracks, making it difficult to detect, let alone resist.

Ordinary Divine Warriors would not have any power to resist, even an Eighth-rank Divine Warrior would be the same; only True Gods would have the qualification to resist.

A moment later, the amber-like transparent space gradually recovered, and a materialized Vajra Bell appeared behind Qin Jiang.

The next moment, the Vajra Bell dissolved, turning into a puddle of golden fluid, slowly converging into a golden human figure.

The materialization of the True Spirit was the mark of reaching the end of the True God realm.

Neither the current Xia Emperor nor the Grand Marshal had reached this stage.

Within Huai Country, only the legendary King Huai seemed to have reached this stage; even the battle-hardened Fushan had not.

After a moment of sensing, the True Spirit slowly returned to his body, and the surrounding golden light gradually receded.

Without hesitation, he invested the remaining potential points into the Qi Kings Chaotic Sky Halberd.

[Qi Kings Chaotic Sky Halberd (Second Layer) (1500 / 25000) [94%], experience + 168000]

[Qi Kings Chaotic Sky Halberd (Sixth Layer) (39500 / 45000)]

[Potential Points: 9.8]

Boom—!

A majestic aura erupted, and surging Qi spontaneously formed a halberd, a natural spectacle created by the influence of the Chaotic Sky Halberd intent on heaven and earth.

Legend has it that the Qi King of old could even form a Qi halberd over a hundred meters long, leveling a large mountain with a single strike!

He slightly clenched his fist, and white Qi burst forth from between his fingers, leaving marks everywhere.

After adapting, he turned around to look at the Demonic Dragon statue, flicked his finger, and the Demonic Dragon statue’s head shattered, revealing a pitch-black scale.

The scale emitted Devilish Qi, like a mirror, its curved surface reflecting Qin Jiang’s slightly bent figure.

He didn’t step forward to retrieve it. The next second, the scale struck the back of the sacrificial altar.

With a ”rumble,” the wall shattered, revealing an enormous pit. A rich, bloody smell, accompanied by the scent of decay, assailed him.

Walking closer, the dark pit had a diameter of over a thousand meters, with Demonic Flames burning within and countless white bones piled up like mountains.

At the edge of the pit, there was an incredibly dark and massive cave, its end unseen, like a monster with its mouth wide open, waiting for food to enter.

It wasn’t ’like’.

Boom ~ Boom ~

The surrounding stone walls trembled, and countless shattered stones fell. The enormous cave slowly closed, and a pair of huge red light clusters slowly moved beneath the pit.

Staring intently, those were not red light clusters at all, but a pair of enormous eyes.

”Roar—!!!”

An earth-shattering Dragon roar vibrated through heaven and earth; the entire underground palace trembled with the roar.

Accompanied by the sound of huge chains dragging, the pair of eyes slowly rose, elevating to a position level with Qin Jiang.

A huge shadow revealed some contours; the diameter of just one of these eyes exceeded two meters.

The entire Dragon head was over thirty meters, even larger than the demonic bodies of some Demon Kings.

Whoosh—!

A gust of air blew past Qin Jiang from its nostrils; although it wasn’t forceful, it was still like a hurricane.

”Human Race? No, you have Demonic Dragon bloodline; you are a Dragon blood descendant.”

An ancient voice echoed through the underground palace. Qin Jiang’s eyebrows raised slightly; what powerful strength, definitely not inferior to his own.

”Who are you?” he asked.

”Me?” The Demonic Dragon’s huge pupils contracted, as if recalling something.

Clang clatter~~~

With the sound of chains moving, half of the Demonic Dragon’s body crawled onto the sacrificial altar.

It glanced at the Demonic Dragon statue and casually swatted it away.

Only then did Qin Jiang clearly see that this Demonic Dragon was actually entwined with thick chains. Its lower body had already turned to white bones, with bones and chains almost fused, and only its upper body still had flesh and blood.

”I can no longer remember my name. However, I am the first Demonic Dragon between heaven and earth. The current Demonic Dragon Clan should all be my descendants. You can call me Dragon Ancestor.”
