Exploring Immortality Cultivation

Earth, where only the human species is a higher being.

But in Shenzhou, there are two.

The Dragon Clan and the Human Clan.

Standing at the pinnacle of the reptilian evolutionary tree and the apex of the food chain, an unparalleled race that has dominated the world for billions of years.

And now, the imposing presence of the Dragon Clan manifested in Wang Qi!

Infinite Purple Beauty mixed with cold air, sweeping across like a roaring tide. The mana of the Hongyuan Sect, accompanied by black flames, had originally made the air here slightly hot. However, as soon as Wang Qi unleashed the Infinite Dragon Power, the temperature here actually began to drop at a perceptible rate.

Soon, a thin layer of white frost formed on the ground.

This... With such a wasteful display of mana, wouldn't he deplete the mana in his body in a very short time?

He wasn't using a spell to manipulate thermal energy but was relying on the incidental effect of mana itself to cause such an effect of ice sealing the surroundings. How enormous was the mana consumption that this entailed?

However, Wang Qi didn't feel this way at all. When the Dragon Power was stimulated, he felt a distinct distortion within his body, and then, with the Dragon Power Coin as the core, Essence seemed to appear out of nowhere!

Indeed, out of nowhere! Wang Qi neither felt his body lose mass nor sensed the Order within him obliterated. The Dragon Power Coin was merely absorbing excess Life Flame, but the Dragon Clan Essence it fed back was dozens of times more than the life energy quantity of the Spiritual Power!

What was even more wonderful was that this Dragon Clan Essence, generated by the Innate Divine Seal of the Dragon Clan, was not Wang Qi's strength. Having refined this Dragon Clan Coin, Wang Qi could control this Dragon Clan Essence, but unlike the Life Flame, it would not integrate into his cultivation and cause his strength to increase too rapidly.

Perfect, simply perfect!

"It seems like vacuum energy, it's converting the ground state quantum field into an excited state forcibly, but it's not an application of the Casimir Force, and it's not completed by leveraging the fluctuations of the Dirac Sea, nor is there a perception of the transformation of the space-time metric..." Wang Qi really wanted to ponder the principle behind this Dragon Clan divine skill, but the palpitations from his soul cut off his train of thought.

He needed to vent, he must fight!

"Ah!" A primal battle roar burst forth from Wang Qi's throat, shaking everyone's guts. An even more terrifying might emanated from him. The effects of Dragon Attack and Dragon's Defense were activated simultaneously. A peculiar force circulated within his body. Some frightening strength was released from the microscopic level. That power had a vague connection to the Heavenly Song, but it was also different.

"Strong Interaction? Strong Electric Unification?" Wang Qi instantly formed a hypothesis, but suppressed it immediately afterward.

The purple radiance around Wang Qi instantly converged, forming layers of interlocking diamond grids around him, resembling the image of scale armor, and the surrounding cold air gathered as though responding to some ineffable command. Wang Qi, still unsatisfied, raised his right hand high and thrust it into the earth. There was much more moisture in the soil than in the air. Water molecules rapidly gathered and condensed. Then, Wang Qi "pulled" out a giant axe from the earth!

Pointing the axe at the Priest who just parried his hasty thrust, Wang Qi burst into laughter, "No one else move, leave this to me!"

No sooner had he harbored the thought of battle than a complete set of Martial Arts appeared in his mind. Utilizing his superior calculating ability, Wang Qi instantly determined that this Martial Arts was meant to complement Dragon Clan Essence and was the most suitable for this Dragon Clan strength.

Could it be that those three Innate Divine Seals still held a set of Dragon Clan legacy?

Isn't this just too perfect?

Just as these thoughts emerged in Wang Qi, another notion forcefully struck his heart.

To battle! To battle!

He now had boundless mana to squander, and he must fight!

"Aaaaah!" Wang Qi roared, employing the Martial Arts that had surfaced in his mind. Then, a piercing pain roused him from his inexplicable frenzy. His heroic battle cry turned into a shameful cry of agony, "Aaaoooh!"

Dammit, the first move is to twist the spine into a special curve... This is definitely not something a human can do!

Wanfa Sect disciples, upon seeing Martial Skill, their first reaction was to analyze it with Mathematics. This was also why the Martial Dao of Wanfa Sect, marvelous as it could be, was not necessarily the strongest—those madmen who designed the Martial Arts didn't consider whether the human body could accomplish them at all! Wang Qi, who had just been affected by Dragon Power and fallen into a state of decreased Intelligence, had calculated the complete set of Martial Arts and even forgot to review those moves from the perspective of an ordinary person!

Under the mutually dumbfounded expressions of both parties, Wang Qi, who had just instantly killed a Priest and seemed invincible just a moment ago, suddenly twisted his own spine!

"Kill!" Li You suddenly came to his senses, abandoning Chen Feng and turning back to attack his former opponent, and the other three moved just as quickly, continuing the fray as if Wang Qi's show of power had never occurred.

A strong magnetic field propelled a surge of Spiritual Energy; Li You's every punch and every kick carried layers of electric arcs, with immense power; another Fentian Prefecture disciple had a hint of crimson Flame Power in each punch and kick, condensed yet unreleased, but inadvertently bringing about intense explosions. Another Liuyun Sect disciple had an indeterminate and invisible wind around him, yet it concealed formidable power. The remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivator had a less conspicuous combat style; as soon as he made a move, it was a stack of punch and palm shadows, like the endless waves of the sea, enveloping his opponent.

But those four Priests were not simple either. Among them, two possessed Divine Arts similar to those of Priest Li whom Wang Qi had seen before—High Entropy Power, World-Purifying Black Flame. This Divine Art was exceptionally filthy and could disrupt the functioning of most Magic. The cultivator who had just repelled Wang Qi's stab with his robe had no attack power at all; all his skills lay in that black robe. The robe was not a Magic Artifact or a Divine Tao treasure but merely ordinary black linen which, however, had been imbued with a Divine Art similar to "Protection," seemingly a manifestation of the intention of Hongyuan God "to protect the last life beings amid the calamities of the final era." And the last Priest, his Divine Art was actually swordsmanship. Divine Power gathered into a gray sword, and any Magic it encountered would mysteriously dissolve, any Mana it touched would mysteriously disappear.

Although the four of them were lacking in Spirit Wisdom, they moved with precision like marionettes on strings. The black-clothed Priest with the Holy Protection kind of Divine Art extended his sleeves, moving agilely within the battlefield, continually blocking attacks for his teammates, who took advantage of the erratic black lines to move unhindered. And the Divine Art attached to the black cloth was exceptionally tough; the attacks of the four were unable to even tear a single strand of the black cloth!

The Life Flame inside Wang Qi's body was extraordinary after all. By the wriggling of his muscles, he forcibly realigned his twisted spine and then reconnected it within a few breaths. He lifted his Ice Axe. This time, using the formula calculated from Dragon Clan Martial Skill, he converted it into something suitable for the Human Clan to use. All the moves he had learned before were shattered by Wang Qi in his mind and then reassembled to form a set of Martial Arts suitable for his body imbued with Dragon Clan Essence, and yet fitting for his Human Clan Physical Body.

Wang Qi's Mathematics was already not inferior to that of a Grandmaster. And with the assistance of this "Seeking Dao Artifact" that delineated the Great Dao, he was nearing the pinnacle of Martial Arts.

Then, Wang Qi let out another ferocious roar. He leaped into the air, his body even causing a gust like a sharp blade. Before the howling sound could spread, Wang Qi had already charged into the center of the battlefield!

A swath of black cloth came down over his head. However, Wang Qi didn't even bother to look and directly met it with his Ice Axe. Though it was just an object created by Magic, this Ice Axe smashed through the Divine Art with an unstoppable momentum!

"Ah ah ah!" Wang Qi went berserk, his hand spinning the Ice Axe into a Light Group, slicing all the approaching black cloth into strips!

This was the Dragon Attack!

The Priest holding the End of Fortune Magic Sword issued a nearly invisible, almost transparent Sword Qi Circle, encircling everyone. In an instant. The Magic of the other four from the Immortal Alliance showed signs of instability; Li You's strong magnetic field was dissipated in a blink.

However, Wang Qi was not affected at all.

A barrier formed of copious Dragon Essence even withstood the onslaught of the Innate Final Destiny's Great Dao!

This is the Dragon's Defense!

Wang Qi once more let out a roar akin to a dragon's battle cry. He lifted the ice ax high, and from the cold, solitary depths of the ten-thousand-meter ocean, the Cold Ice Dragon Essence shot out like a cannonball. Its tail left behind such coldness that it formed a thin frost path in the air. Caught completely off guard, a Tamer Priest of the World-Purifying Black Flame was hit squarely. An instant sheath of pale-yellow frost enveloped him. Although his Flame Power protected his vital organs from frostbite, his limbs and flesh had begun to necrotize, rendering him powerless to continue fighting.

Yet, the berserk Wang Qi showed no intention of mercy. A purple ax light instantly bisected the pitiful frozen wretch.

The savage power surged once again. Wang Qi roared, charging straight at the Priest using Divine Defensive Arts. The Priest let out a frantic cry, his black cloth billowing and stacking densely like a forest, steadfastly blocking Wang Qi's advance.

But no matter what kind of resistance, it was all just— one ax strike!

"Ha!" Seizing the moment the Priest was distracted, Li You and two others surrounded and attacked another Priest, the one wielding the End of Fortune Magic Sword. Following the principle of "better to break one finger than to injure ten," the three focused on this strongest adversary while Li You, thanks to his proficiency in movement techniques, entangled the enemy in combat.

Soon...

"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!"

Three cries almost sounded at the same time.

Wang Qi's massive ax hacked into the neck of the Priest of Defensive Technique, Li You's fist smashed into the forehead of the Magic Sword Priest... and the last shout was from the Liuyun Sect Disciple. He failed to restrain the final enemy, who fiercely pounced toward Dong Jiao and Chen Feng below. Since I can't kill you, I'll take out my frustration on your companions!

His speed was very fast; everyone was too late to save them. However, a hand engulfed in White Flame grasped the extended fist. The ground shattered, dust billowed, and the diving Priest's descent was forcibly halted!

Chen Feng sneered, intensifying his grip and crushing the opponent's arm. The Priest seemed to feel no pain, still reaching out his other hand toward Dong Jiao, who had not yet fully recovered. Chen Feng was about to deliver a killing blow when he heard a loud roar, "Don't kill!"

The speaker was none other than Wang Qi, who had been so merciless in his slaughter just moments before. (To be continued.
