Chapter 727 - 407: Dragon Transformation Pool
Thunder City continued to soar under the tug-of-war between the dragon and phoenix, while countless figures silently fell to the ground along this Divinity Transformation Path.
From the outside, they showed no signs of injury, yet they lay silently on the ground, as dead as could be.
This was due to being unable to withstand the terrifying impact of the Divine Soul, causing them to fall on the spot.
Such divine soul attacks are not something everyone can withstand.
"Go!"
Zheng Yi already understood that his destination had been reached.
This should be the location of the final treasure of the Ancient True Dragon Hall.
After all, the burst of True Dragon Divine Soul Dao rhythm just now was the convergence of Ancestral Dragon Qi, where a vast amount of it merged into one, unleashing the dragon soul vividly and lifelike.
This place must be where a pure-blooded True Dragon fell, and the Ancestral Dragon Qi born here is undoubtedly the purest and most powerful.
Zheng Yi’s eyes flickered, suppressed by the Space Rules, as he withdrew Thunder City, but his speed did not slow; like a storm, he surged forward like a golden lightning bolt toward the area where the Dragon Qi erupted.
Finally, reaching the end, Zheng Yi saw a shielded area, and gazing ahead, he could only see a region shrouded in thick white fog.
Separated by the protective barrier, Zheng Yi felt a sense of heart-pounding awe, sensing that it was filled with a mysterious source, towering high and exceedingly overbearing.
The gathered abundant Dragon Qi had almost formed a vaporized scene, amidst the haziness, as if entering a hot spring.
"Is this the Dragon Pool?!"
According to legend, within the Ancient True Dragon Hall, there is an area containing the power of the Ancestral Dragon, called the Dragon Pool, also known as the Dragon Transformation Pool.
In the legends of the Dragon Race, this Dragon Transformation Pool always holds an extremely important position.
For the True Dragon Race, it holds an unimaginable significance.
Those pure-blooded Dragons at the brink of their lives would submerge their bodies into this Dragon Pool before they fall, merging their entire physical essence and Divine Soul into it.
Even new Dragon Race offspring and certain mixed-blood Flood Dragons could enter the Dragon Transformation Pool as a reward for great merit, absorbing its essence and transforming their forms from the intangible.
Though now the flesh and blood within the Dragon Transformation Pool no longer exist, there is still a circulation of powerful Ancestral Dragon Qi.
This is the reason why outsiders are drawn to it fervently.
The Dragon Transformation Pool, as the true treasure of the True Dragon Race, has always been tightly protected. Outsiders never see it, and even among their race, few have the chance to witness it.
Yet now, such a Dragon Transformation Pool appeared before Zheng Yi, and the intense shock brought with it excitement greater than any treasure.
This is the true treasure of the Dragon Race.
It is worth the trip!
This was the first thought that rose in Zheng Yi’s heart.
He knew that his opportunity for Divinity Transformation had finally arrived.
Whether or not he could take that final step, the hardest step, it was clear that this Dragon Transformation Pool would play a crucial role.
This was where he would gain the strength and foundational bedrock that mattered most.
Clang! Clang!
Zheng Yi landed before the gigantic light shield, knocking gently upon its surface, producing a crisp sound.
Clearly, this shield was extremely sturdy; Zheng Yi appeared to tap it lightly, but given his physical strength, a gentle tap would usually shatter iron walls.
Yet the light shield before him remained unharmed, as steadfast as a mountain.
Zheng Yi realized he lacked the power to break it, most likely because this shield was part of the Dragon Transformation Pool, integrated with the entire Ancient True Dragon Hall, which was a Void Refining Level Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure. Not even a Divinity Transformation Tier’s power would be of use.
There was nothing to do but wait, clearly, the time for it to open had not yet arrived.
More importantly, this Dragon Transformation Pool and the shield complemented each other; forcing it open with great destruction might severely damage the entire pool, leading to nothing left.
"Just have to wait!"
...
As time passed, those who survived from the Divinity Transformation Path, including the powerful cultivators of various races, were not pushovers.
Among them were the Sea God Descendants, some mighty races from the East Origin Sea Region, even top Nascent Soul Stage experts from the Four Seas and Eight Desolates, and the Central Immortal Realm.
They all gathered at this final Dragon Transformation Pool.
Initially, powerful cultivators on Phoenix Cry Island, and the Flood Dragon Imperial Court had to reach here; even if damaged, it was impossible for them to be utterly wiped out.
But because of Zheng Yi, in the end none reached the Dragon Transformation Pool.
The path of slaughter left each strong person tainted with a heavy aura of killing intent, lingering for a long time.
And in the confrontations with each other, everyone was wary of one another, all vigilant, even employing strong magical power to obscure their true appearance, shrouding their bodies to avoid being recognized.
It gave an impression of being unreachable.
The Divinity Transformation Path thoroughly severed everyone’s relationships.
Everyone here stood among the top powerhouses of the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm, including a few fortunate Core Formation Stage Cultivators who made it here, each with their trump cards, now instead on guard against each other, in the quietest moment.
Only the rising and falling of auras, intertwining, having gone through prior betrayals, reached the peak of vigilance.
One by one surrounded around the Dragon Transformation Pool, all quietly waiting.
However, at this moment, from the front end of the Golden Dao, another figure approached, unmasked, yet making everyone avoid.
Zheng Yi, the Isle Master Azure waves, at this time had completely secured his position as the strongest after the previous flood dragon blood battle.
Even many Nascent Soul Stage cultivators silently cursed in their hearts, that such a monster should compete with those old monsters at the Divinity Transformation Tier, falling here among them was like a crane standing among chickens, no matter how talented one was, they felt immense pressure.
No one was without cold sweat, fearing a misstep, angering this person, leading to immediate demise.
That would be a huge loss.
Even those who experienced bloody battles, ultimately arriving here, dared not approach within three hundred meters of Zheng Yi, preferring to squeeze together rather than come close.
This was absolute status.
An affirmation of strength.
"There isn’t anyone over there, we might as well occupy a spot!"
At this time, someone else entered, looked around, saw a large empty spot, wanted to call friends to seize this good spot.
The person beside, knowing the situation, was scared into a cold sweat, hairs standing on end, couldn’t help but curse.
"Brother, if you want to die, go die by yourself, don’t pull me along."
"Do you not understand what place that is?! It’s no great position, it’s a Ghost Gate!"
"Around Azure waves Island Lord, within three thousand miles, it’s a restricted zone, haven’t you heard of this title? The same applies here, if not for the Dragon Transformation Pool being too small, everyone would have already run without a trace! That god-tier you dare provoke, truly have you lived too long?!"
Upon hearing the companion’s rebuke, the Core Formation Stage brute finally realized, cold sweat poured down instantly, stammered.
"This-this is the Isle Master Azure waves..."
"The very terrifying existence who annihilated both the Dragon Race and the Phoenix Race over a trivial matter? All cultivators passing through the Golden Dao are scared out of their wits at this name, no wonder no one dares approach!"
Previously on the Divinity Transformation Path and Void Passage, Zheng Yi along with the Phoenix Cry Island cultivators and Flood Dragon Imperial Court’s flood dragons engaged in a massive battle without any concealment.
With many eyes, this matter spread far and wide long ago.
This terrifying scene nearly shattering heavens and grinding the Great Dao, was all crafted by Zheng Yi.
Not to mention Core Formation Stage cultivators, even late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators were sweating coldly and shivering.
Through ancient and modern times, no matter in sect records or historical transmissions, where had such a fierce Nascent Soul Stage cultivator ever been documented? This was simply Divinity Transformation tier means!
In the end, whether arrogant Phoenix Cry Island cultivators or the always overbearing Flood Dragon Imperial Court, all were obliterated without mercy, leaving only Zheng Yi, untouched, stepping foot in the Dragon Transformation Pool.
The significance it represented, everyone was clear, but it’s witnessed by numerous cultivator powerhouses, fearing the same fate.
After all, in their hearts, whether it’s the Phoenix Lineage of Phoenix Cry Island or the Flood Dragon Imperial Court, they were already invincible-like teams, now all falling to Zheng Yi alone, even including many reckless outland cultivators, such terrifying slaughter and decisive action made one think they encountered a peerless fiend.
Fortunately, this Isle Master Azure waves, although near invincible, acted with measured discretion, unless someone foolishly provoked him; otherwise, even a Core Formation Stage cultivator was as invisible as air to him, lacking any intention of action.
But even so, it couldn’t ease the crowd’s apprehensions and fear; after all, when a Divine Dragon stands beside ants, even if the dragon took no action, its awe-inspiring, overwhelming aura still made ants tremble.
This was, to everyone, an entity of utmost authority not to provoke, having journeyed along the Divinity Transformation Path, they knew very well, even though all appeared at Nascent Soul Stage, the real difference was like a firefly to a bright moon, the disparity between a golden sun and candlelight.
Finally reaching here, if senselessly angering this one, wouldn’t all efforts have been wasted?
Moreover, their own lives could be in jeopardy.
What would that be worth?!
...
All at once, the endpoint of the Divinity Transformation Path was left with only a few remaining cultivators, with Zheng Yi’s massive aura suppressing, strangely calmed down.
No one dared act rashly, unusually patient, lingering at this edge waiting.
