Chapter 588: Chapter 297: Famous Across the Sea Realm! The Five Lifebound Flame Dragons (Part 2)
Zheng Yi has become thoroughly famous.
A name that resonates throughout the East Origin Sea Region.
In the eyes of many young cultivators, the title of Isle Master Azure waves is even more illustrious than Haicang Zhenren Jie Zhou You, who holds a high status and great prestige as a Great True Master in the Late Stage of Core Formation.
Many people are spreading the word.
There’s discussion everywhere.
How far has Zheng Yi, this rare Ninth Grade Golden Core, advanced in power?
But one point is universally acknowledged.
At least, he stands on equal footing with Great True Masters in the Late Stage of True Core.
Otherwise, how can one explain the feat of single-handedly stabilizing and slaying four old Flood Dragons in Core Formation? Such Great Divine Techniques and Great Power, how were they accomplished?
Generally speaking, within just ten years, Zheng Yi, who gained the position of Isle Master Azure waves easily, has already established a reputation among the cultivators in the East Origin Sea Region archipelago.
Two operations caused significant losses to the Flood Dragon Demon Court.
Many see him as someone not to be provoked.
After all, his methods are incredibly ruthless and severe.
There is truly no mercy spared.
Not even a hint of consideration.
...
During the chaos in the Sea Realm, with hidden currents swirling everywhere, Zheng Yi quietly concealed himself.
This time, battling against four, he fiercely defeated four old dragons, but also sustained considerable injuries.
After all, those four old dragons were all mature Flood Dragons, each strong enough to reach the Middle Stage of Core Formation, at least comparable to the strength of Middle Third Grade True Core Human Race cultivators.
Such formidable strength, when the Flood Dragon form combat techniques are combined, the erupting power can be easily imagined.
However, fortunately, Zheng Yi was strong enough; whether it was the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree or Divine-Demon Body Refining, they effectively resolved the crisis, allowing him to withdraw wholly and directly behead the four old dragons.
After exchanging with the Turtle Minister, Zheng Yi set off, leaving this sea region, heading to deeper waters, hoping to find a hidden island for seclusion and cultivation for a period.
After a search, Zheng Yi quickly identified a resting place, arranged a simple array around it, and chose to enter seclusion.
...
Island center.
On jade-green stones beside a hot spring connected to an underwater volcano’s thermal flow, Zheng Yi sat with eyes closed, emanating a faint golden glow over his entire body. A vitality-filled magical power started from the dantian, circulating towards every part of his body.
Running smoothly, the Ninth Grade Golden Core power flowed evenly to all organs in the body, and through bones and skin.
The originally burned patches of skin left by the Flood Dragon’s dragon breath were rapidly purified by this vitality-filled power, old skin peeling away, revealing the new skin growing underneath.
The once brutally cleaved wound on his chest had already healed, bloodstains long gone, not even scars remained.
Pfft!
Suddenly, Zheng Yi opened his mouth, spewing out a viscous substance containing other power elements, which fell to the ground and directly corroded the stones beside it, exposing a small pit.
Contained within was the corrosive power left inside his body by the dragon breath of the Flood Dragon; if not cleaned thoroughly, it would become a latent risk embedded in the body.
For some cultivators, these things are like parasites on the bone; clearing them out can be quite troublesome, but for Zheng Yi, it’s merely a small effort, only requiring some time.
As his cultivation refined, the Ninth Grade Golden Core power permeated his entire body, giving him detailed control over all organs, skin, bones, making any slight change unable to escape his dominance.
This makes it easy for him to clean out these alien forces within his body.
"Finally recovered!"
Zheng Yi spent several days balancing all his organs to reach the state of harmonious perfection.
Inside, as if shedding a layer of shackles, his body feels light and natural.
A golden, round, dazzling Golden Core in his dantian slowly rotates, releasing energy like a fountain, sweeping through his entire body, gradually adapting, and modifying it, bringing it closer to a mysterious cultivation constitution.
Even the Little Five Elements Yin Yang Dao Embryo is more suitable for cultivation than before.
Zheng Yi took a deep breath, a ring of fire rose inside him, enveloping his entire body, the light red glow illuminating the island.
He sat cross-legged, the void seemed to ripple like water waves; faint dragon roars arose, surrounding Zheng Yi, a gigantic dark red light shield formed.
This light shield encircled, twisting around, five fierce Divine Dragons.
Each one vividly alive, as if they truly existed.
Five-Flame Divine Dragons.
Or rather, five Lifebound Flame Dragons.
Of course, given Zheng Yi’s current strength, he couldn’t claim to control actual Divine Dragons, but it could be said for sure that these dragons protecting him were no simple constructs.
Not merely forming phantom shapes, but truly existing as physical spiritual objects.
Netherworld True Flame, Nine Netherworld Soul Slaying Fire, Ten Thousand Corpses Nether Fire, Nirvana Cyan Glazed Flame, and Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame.
These flame dragons originated from five spiritual fires, forming the Five Dragon Divine Fire Shield which shaped them, and later integrating with the dragon souls of five Flood Dragons, transforming them, spiritually awakening, into five Lifebound Flame Dragons.
Thus, these Five-Flame Divine Dragons already possess a certain spirituality, transforming into Guardian Divine Dragons under Zheng Yi’s control.
They embody spiritual fires and are imbued with Flood Dragon divine souls, hovering between reality and illusion, using the Five Dragon Divine Fire Shield as a basis to wield magical fires and demonic fires, not burning the heavens nor boiling the sea but possessing immense power.
Even without Zheng Yi controlling, they could easily guard his Dharma Body.
Emerging as a new-born Lifebound Flame Dragon.
Somewhat akin to the Dharma Guardian God in Daoist and Buddhist beliefs.
Due to the previous urgency, Zheng Yi had only briefly refined them, although superficially awakening, the five Lifebound Flame Dragons hadn’t fully transformed.
To truly mature into strong divine techniques requires careful refinement.
Zheng Yi is abundantly aware of this.
After parting with the Turtle Minister and initially reaching an agreement with the Sea God Alliance, Zheng Yi adhered to the principle of not standing under a dangerous wall swiftly sought an uninhabited island and concealed himself.
Preparing first to recover from injuries, second to refine his cultivated divine techniques.
Now, after creating such major news in the Sea Realm, the Flood Dragon Demon Court’s rage likely already set a Heaven and Earth Net trap outside, waiting for him.
Zheng Yi naturally wouldn’t rush out, inviting misfortune and rush into their net.
After all, his strike pieces cost the Flood Dragon Demon Court their face, deepening animosity.
Zheng Yi consistently held a strategy of underestimating opponents yet respecting enemies in tactics.
The Flood Dragon Imperial Court, after all, isn’t ordinary; it’s a colossal deep-sea power, Zheng Yi didn’t want a head-on collision, even if a Ninth Grade Golden Core, the disadvantage would fall upon him.
So-called alliances and stratagems, using strengths to control disadvantages.
Fight when one can, retreat when one cannot.
Zheng Yi is prepared for a prolonged battle with them.
Ultimately, time is on his side.
Ninth Grade Golden Core differs from conventional Core Formation; the Great Dao is wide open. At least until he reaches the Nascent Soul Realm, there’s no barrier; only time matters, once he steps into the Late Stage of Core Formation, who’s to be arrogant?
In this way, Zheng Yi undoubtedly entered the Flood Dragon Demon Court’s hit list, becoming a must-eliminate enemy.
Therefore, in such circumstances, Zheng Yi prepared to evade the spotlight.
Fortunately, he gained the Heaven and Earth Sun and Moon Wheel from the Sea God Alliance.
Zheng Yi also recalled some information from the Celestial Demon Relic.
He can seize this opportunity to prepare one or two trump cards for self-defense.
To guard his path.
