Dragon Martial Emperor
chapter-142-30041322

“I don’t have much time right now. As my strength will grow, I will be able to solve all these riddles…”

For Long Yu, what was more important right now was to refine his body with thunder mines and increase his strength.

As he regained his consciousness, he continued to draw out one mine after another from the nine hidden dragon mark while refining his body.

At that time, he practised Demon tyrant form, refining his meridians, followed by refining his bones, his flesh and later refining his Dantian as well as the five internal organs.

If he could quench his blood vessels too, the Demon tyrant form would reach transcendental realm.

Unfortunately, Long Yu did not have much spare time to promote his Demon tyrant form to the next level.

At this moment he was busy refining his body with the thunder mines and in this process even the slightest of negligence could cause great harm.

While quenching his meridians, he spent about one day and one night.

Afterward, for refining his bones, he had to spend three days and three nights, and finally integrated his bones with the strength of the thunder mines. His nine hidden dragon mark secretly told him that this powerful principle contained in these thunder mines was called “Holding thunder principle”.

This holding thunder principle belonged to the Imperial seal level, just like the lunar principle.

A heavenly tablet was the most precious object congealed solely out of world principle and hence and it held more power in it than anything else. It was an extremely rare treasure.

But all the heavenly tablets were hidden in discreet locations and could not be tracked down so easily. Although the principles contained in them could produce various weather phenomena, like the mineral lode of the Ling clan villa or the heavenly thunder reservoir, still it was extremely difficult for someone to obtain these heavenly tablets.

This was the main reason why the experts in the Tang kingdom felt themselves to be extremely lucky to have even a small fragment of these tablets – just like it happened in the case of lunar debris.

But now, Long Yu had the strength of two heavenly tablets.

The Lunar tablet made him comprehend the lunar principle and he was right now refining his body using the Holding thunder principle mines. In other words, he was directly absorbing the power of the thunder law present in a Heavenly thunder tablet.

Perhaps by the Long Yu would be done refining his whole body, not much strength would remain in the heavenly thunder tablet.

It took his seven days to refine his flesh.

As Long Yu moved step by step from one stage of refining his body to another, each stage took more time than the previous one.

…………………………………..

*Two months later*

The young prince of the Mongolian kingdom had sent numerous soldiers of his army to encircle the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir. However, no one had seen Long Yu coming out of the heavenly thunder reservoir.

This made him feel relaxed as it confirmed that Long Yu had died inside the Heavenly Thunder reservoir.

However, he was expecting the appearance of the holding thunder debris that should have appeared two months ago. And now, two months had passed and he still could not find any trace of the Holding thunder debris.

“What is going on, what happened?”

The young Mongolian prince thought to himself as the roar of the thunder mines continued to go weaker and weaker. This was something he had never expected to happen.

Because of the impact of the Holding thunder debris, the roar of the thunder mines was so strong two months ago. But now that roar was gradually fading!

Many powerhouses like Mo Fengming and Yu Qianning who were hiding near the Heavenly Thunder reservoir had dispersed by now.

Since there was no hope of the appearance of Holding thunder debris anymore, waiting there was basically a waste of time. It was wise to go back to practise.

The Mongolian prince, who had resolutely stayed there for two months along with his army, finally ordered his people to evacuate the place.

However, before leaving, he left a force of ten thousand soldiers in the vicinity of the Heavenly thunder reservoir to keep patrolling as he always felt something unusual about this unexpected decline in the amount of thunderclaps.

As the Mongolian prince departed with the rest of his army of 100,000 soldiers, the place soon appeared to be vacant.

Even after waiting for one hour or so, one could only hear the thunderclaps a few times. But the frequency of the lightning flashes had remained the same.

However, no one had noticed that the frequency of the flashes was also decreasing now!

After a month had passed, the lightning flashes and the thunderclaps almost stopped and this left the patrol teams in great surprise. They conveyed this news to the Mongolian prince.

At this moment, a man wearing bronze Mongolian armour, with his whole body flashing as if emitting lightening, emerged out of the Heavenly Thunder reservoir.

This man was Long Yu!

After spending three months in the Heavenly thunder reservoir, refining his whole body with the power of the thunder mines, achieving the brand-new ‘thunder tyrant form’, now he could an expert of Zhenling realm with a flick of his finger!

Even the fiercest attacks of a fellow Zhenling 2nd layer expert could not cause much harm to him now.

Since he fed on the power of the thunder mines for three months, the power of the thunder principle was now part of his own comprehension, helping him quickly comprehend the ‘Holding thunder mood’.

At this moment, he was able to comprehend the ‘Holding thunder charm’ and would grant him such a strong protection that even the strongest of the enemy’s attacks would rebound!

He had still not reached the Zhenling 4th layer and hence fighting against the Zhenling entity of a Zhenling 4th layer powerhouse might still be a bit difficult for him.

However, he felt that even if he had to face Yu Qianning now, it wouldn’t be a much difficult task for him to do.

As long as he could pull her power down by one martial layer, he could easily compete with Yu Qianning.

Even if Yu Qianning congealed her Zhenling entity, she wouldn’t be able to defeat him so easily.

And so, the direction in which Long Yu proceeded headed not to Tang kingdom but to the Demon valley situated at the intersection of the three great kingdoms!

Since there was only a month’s time left for the seven sect competition to start, he must reach the Demon valley soon, hunt a power demon beast, procure its neidan and absorb it to enhance his strength. Before the seven sect competition starts, he must reach the 3rd layer of Zhenling realm at the least.

He came out of the Heavenly Thunder reservoir and paced fast into the direction of the Demon valley.

Finally he turned his head back to look at the Heavenly thunder reservoir one last time. There was no roar or no lightning flash coming from the reservoir now and Long Yu was completely aware of the reason – he had consumed all its energy to refine his body.

Now the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir was a barren land, just like the mineral lode near the Ling clan villa.

Although Long Yu never really managed to located the Holding Thunder tablet, he had absorbed all its energy while he refined his body using the thunder mines and finally mastered the Holding Thunder principle.

He passed through the scattered Mongolian patrol troops and disappeared in the Great Snow Mountains soon.

……………………………….

*The next morning*

Long Yu had left the Great Snow Mountains and now a vast expanse of grasslands stretched in front of him.

Here, at the border of the Mongolian kingdom, lied the Demon valley.

Long Yu could see a Mongolian village in the vicinity. The smoke curling out of their chimneys painted a gentle scene.

However, he knew that even in a small village like this, just like the rest of the Tianlu continent, every man and woman was a martial expert and practised martial arts!

Perhaps, the village of the nine hidden dragon tribe was hidden somewhere in the Tianlu continent?

Long Yu shook his head. He could find all the answers once he stepped into the realm Man-Heaven harmony.

He was fully aware of his present strength and his own limits.

Presently he was in the 2nd layer of Zhenling realm so his basic strength was 2 jun. Activating the nine hidden dragon mark granted him the strength of 1 Jun. In total, he had the strength of 3 Jun which was equivalent to the strength of 3000 fierce horses!

(Mystique: 1 fierce horse strength = 1000 lb)

His primary battle weapons were the Qian dragon spear and the lunar wings. Apart from these, he had three more battle weapons – blizzard boots, wandering soul gloves and flaming jade talisman.

The latter three were not of much use to him, but the flaming jade talisman was a top grade battle weapon and the blizzard boots granted great speed to the practitioner so he could trade either of them for a Yao Dan.

Among his martial skills, the most powerful are the nine hidden dragon fist and his father’s spear skill. The Zhentian tactics and the Qian dragon spear complemented each other. His other skills were nine hidden dragon prance, intoxicated hell and lamella touch.

His spirit level martial skill – ghost flash could be used to avoid the attacks of the enemies and escape for a short time. But his body refining type martial skill, Demon tyrant form, had transformed into Thunder tyrant form and was now more powerful than ever.

His first spirit level martial skill, the flickering wind step, was now not used much by him as he relied solely on the lunar wings for agility. The lunar wings had surpassed the efficiency of flickering wind step as well as the twinkling step.

In addition to his martial skills and battle weapons, he had two Zhenling spirits and world principles.

He had comprehended Zhentian domain (a golden stone level principle), the lunar charm (Imperial seal level principle) and the Holding thunder charm (Imperial seal level principle) as well as the dry marsh mood (a mysterious jade level principle) that he acquired in the Teng snake abyss.

At present, Long Yu had all his concentration directed towards strengthening his Zhenlings with the help of newly learned principles.

For example, his Zhentian Sun Zhenling was the condensation of Zhentian principle and when released, it made Zhentian domain’s coercion much more powerful.

In a similar manner, the lunar principle, the Holding Thunder principle etc. could also be condensed to congeal Zhenlings which could further enhance their respective powers.

But after congealing second, third and more Zhenlings, the difficulty level for promoting to next layer of Zhenling realm would gradually increase as well.

The need to absorb Lingqi would be much more than that for an ordinary person.

Moreover, to be able to congeal more Zhenling entities, Long Yu must pass through several major bottlenecks.

Among the various principles Long Yu had comprehended till now, Zhentian principle had the strength to suppress, the dry marsh principle had the strength to entangle and trap someone, the lunar principle had an endless power of the frost while the most powerful was the Holding thunder principle that had terrifying destructive power.

Although he was still at the first level of comprehension of the Holding thunder principle, still it had a formidable strength which was far more than the strength of the Zhentian domain.

“If I practice a lightening based martial skill, it will definitely increase the impact of the Holding thunder principle. Unfortunately, such martial skills are not easy to find…”

Long Yu thought.

As it appeared, Long Yu wanted to promote his cultivation to the next layer of Zhenling realm and that too as soon as possible.

Any ordinary Zhenling 2nd layer expert would not have been able to achieve the domain level of a martial skill even if it was based on a golden stone level principle!

Long Yu’s body turned into a black streamer and rushed in the direction of the Demon valley from the vast grasslands.

Suddenly his vision fell on the figures of two experts standing in front of him. One of them was clad in a brown furry coat. This man turned out to be an expert of Zhenling 3rd layer – Pond Snow.

“Pond Snow, why is he here?”

Long Yu wrinkled his brows.

The last time he met Pond Snow, there was no close relationship between them, but still, he was the owner of the Ling clan villa after all.

Long Yu, pondering over the situation, moved forward to greet him.

He wanted to know the current situation of Ling clan villa after he had spent three months in the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir.
