Chapter 406
Chapter 406 – Leaving Gracefully
These three demon souls were no ordinary demon souls, they all came from Late Combat Soul demons. They could bring Jiang Chen an incredible improvement to his cultivation. Together with the thunder’s force, if Jiang Chen completely absorbed all three of them, he might be able to form another 1,000 Dragon Marks, and once the Heavenly Tribulation came to an end, Jiang Chen would have a total of 7,000 Dragon Marks in his body.
Since his foundation was very powerful at the moment, Jiang Chen wasn’t worried that his foundation would receive negative side effects from absorbing these demon souls. Therefore, without hesitating, he immediately absorbed all three demon souls.
The city was deadly quiet. Everyone was staring at the lightning sea without speaking a single word. They were hoping to see the white-clothed youngster once more. Although they didn’t know him before today’s events, he had saved all their lives. Therefore, they hoped this young man could survive the deadly Heavenly Tribulation.
Besides that, it was great to know that there was a heavenly-defying genius on the human side. With this amazing expert, the demons were definitely going to suffer a heavy blow in the future.
“Where exactly did this genius come from? He is such an amazing warrior, so why have we never heard of him before?”
Shan Ying said, shocked.
“He saved all of us.”
Jiang Chen had arrived at a place about 500 km away from the Dancing Sun City. He was stepping on a white cloud, and was leisurely flying toward the Nangong family. Jiang Chen felt really satisfied with this trip to the Southern Continent, as he hadn’t been here for long, but had already experienced such a great transformation in his cultivation.
With a flip of his palm, an azure-colored flame resembling a lotus immediately showed up on his fingertip. This flame was filled with a pure Yang aura, and one could hear the sound of thunder within, causing it to look incredibly mysterious.
“The purest Heavenly Thunder Flame underneath the heavens, it is the flame that belongs to Heaven and Earth, and it’s a grade above the True Dragon Flame. I now possess both the True Dragon Flame and the Heavenly Thunder Flame. Once they’ve both merged, a new flame more powerful than any flame underneath the heavens will be born. There is nothing this flame can’t burn, and it will be the greatest weapon against those evil things.”
A faint smile emerged on Jiang Chen’s face. He obtained the Heavenly Thunder Flame while facing his Heavenly Tribulation just now; this was his greatest gain. It would bring him unimaginable benefits in terms of battle, pill concoction, and forging of combat weapons.
“After passing the Minor Three Tribulations, I obtained an unprecedented transformation. I now have a total of 7,000 Dragon Marks in my body, and my cultivation has stabilized at the Early Combat Soul realm. However, in order to break through to the Mid Combat Soul realm, I’ll need at least 10,000 Dragon Marks. That’s a 3,000 Dragon Mark gap. It looks like I need to work harder. Luckily, my foundation is incredibly strong now, so I can just cultivate as fast as I can without having to worry about any negative side effects.”
Jiang Chen thought to himself. Although he had gained the complete acceptance of the Dragon Transformation skill and was able to control this amazing skill completely, he would still need to break through to a new stage before he could know what the requirement for breaking through to the next stage would be.
For example, right after he broke through to the Early Combat Soul realm, he immediately knew how many Dragon Marks he would need in order to break through to the Mid Combat Soul realm. He would need a total of 10,000 Dragon Marks.
“Seven thousand Dragon Marks, and my body has also been tempered by the Heavenly Thunder. With my current combat strength, almost no one in the Combat Soul realm can defeat me. Only those real Combat King warriors can surpass me.”
Jiang Chen was very confident. The further he cultivated the Dragon Transformation skill, the more abnormal he would become. He knew this from the beginning.
“My Heavenly Tribulation has attracted too much attention. Luckily, I hid my real identity. If not, it would be very hard for me to enjoy a quiet life.”
Jiang Chen thought to himself. If he hadn’t covered up his face in Dancing Sun City, the Profound River Palace would definitely do their best to seek him out. No had ever attracted Heavenly Tribulation when breaking through to the Combat Soul realm before, after all.
The reason why Jiang Chen hid his identity was because he didn’t want to become high profile in the Southern Continent. He was just a traveler. Once he settled the Nangong family’s matters, he would return to the Eastern Continent. Therefore, he didn’t want to get involved in any other matters here, including the conflict between the Profound River Palace and the Demon King Palace. His only wish was to leave gracefully once everything was settled.
As for Wu Ningzhu, the prettiest girl in the Southern Continent, Jiang Chen also didn’t want to have any connection with her. However, although he didn’t want to have any connection to her, both of them would meet many times in the future. Of course, this would all happen at a later stage.
“Not much time is left now. I need to return to the Nangong family and see how Brother Nan has progressed.”
Jiang Chen took a step in mid-air and disappeared from where he was. He was flying toward Nangong City with incredible speed.
