We Agreed to Brag Together, But You Secretly Dominated the World

Chapter 318: Spirit City

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation     Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

In a small town beneath the island where the Spirit Race was located, two figures, one large and one small, stood still. They were travel-worn, looking as if they had come from very far away.

Cao Yun wore plain black robes, his long black hair casually tied up. His appearance had changed greatly, now ordinary in appearance. On the surface, his strength had advanced to the initial stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm. But in truth, no one could determine exactly what realm his strength had reached.

The small figure was none other than Qin Hao. Though not yet ten years old, from the outside he appeared no different than a teenager, even a head taller than Cao Yun beside him.

Qin Hao emanated an imposing aura brimming with confidence. Though he was still at the peak stage of the Spirit Sea Realm without any breakthroughs, his mere presence exuded an aura of power that even those in the Nirvana Realm dared not underestimate.

Behind the two was a Black Tortoise, not very large in size. It was like a millstone, lying atop Qin Hao’s shoulder. The Black Tortoise’s aura was completely restrained. If one did not pay close attention, it would be easy to overlook, appearing as an ordinary small turtle without anything special about it.

“Spirit City!”

Cao Yun stood before the city gates, gazing up at the plaque over the entrance, and said, “This city is Spirit City! The floating islands above are the Spirit Race’s domain!”

The land beneath their feet was also a floating island. The living beings residing on it all had deep ties to the Spirit Race. There were no other forces on this island, only the Spirit Race. The Spirit Race was the sole overlord within a radius of hundreds of thousands of kilometers!

Many years had passed, and the Spirit Race had closely united with the islands spanning tens of thousands of miles around them. Every person living on these islands had an inseparable connection with the Spirit Race for at least three generations.

“Xiao Hao, do you plan to go now or rest a while before heading there?” Cao Yun turned to the spirited youth beside him and asked.

“Since we’re already here, let’s not waste time and go directly!” Qin Hao glanced up at the island overhead and chuckled. He did not enter the city. Arriving here meant they had already reached the Spirit Race’s heartland.

There could be Spirit Race spies anywhere, who might recognize them. After all, he was once a member of the Qin family. He was quite famous among the Spirit Race, with many who knew him. Though he had grown up somewhat over the past few years, his original appearance had not changed much. A little attention would reveal his identity.

What if he was spotted by a group of Quasi-Saint Realm experts? All his efforts thus far to conceal his name and identity, as well as his plan, would be utterly foiled. It had been quite a tough journey for him to reach this territory spanning tens of thousands of miles for the Spirit Race. If he were to be completely exposed here, everything would go to waste.

“Alright then. Since that’s the case, let’s keep going!” Hearing this, Cao Yun pondered briefly before nodding in the end.

A jade slip appeared in his other hand, silently conveying a message. Soon after, he finally revealed a smile and strode off into the distance with Qin Hao.

“Mm.” Qin Hao nodded, unaware of Cao Yun’s surreptitious action as he strode ahead by himself.

At the same time, tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Spirit Race’s domain, atop a mountain peak, Su Chen sat cross-legged. Beneath him were countless Black Blood Stones.

There were no strange occurrences outside his body. Yet internally, drastic changes were unfolding. Strands of black blood Qi emanated from the Black Blood Stones, slowly entering his body. His flesh underwent constant transformations.

It was an extremely bizarre process. If someone could probe Su Chen’s body with divine sense, they would easily discover his insides seemed like stars endlessly dying and being reborn. Only strands of indestructible divinity remained within him, slowly gathering together.

As the long time passed, it felt as if there were endless stars collapsing, desolation, and death within Su Chen’s body. Then, after countless ages of transformation, the once desolate and broken star systems once again bloomed with new life. The rekindled vitality made the original vitality even more vigorous. Su Chen’s physical body had also unknowingly risen to countless levels.

Buzz…

At this moment, Su Chen’s body emitted dazzling divine radiance. It was as if invisible shackles had completely shattered, and a nearly substantial blood essence power surged out, undulating in all directions.

The area within hundreds of miles transformed into a blood-colored ocean. Within this ocean of blood, Su Chen was like an aloof deity, receiving worship from all quarters.

Every inch of human flesh and blood was a treasure trove. After obtaining the Black Blood Stones, Su Chen developed this treasure to its utmost limits. This also advanced his cultivation by a minor realm. Originally, he was not far from the late stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm. Now, he had directly entered the late stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm, only a hair’s breadth from the peak stage.

“The Black Blood Stones truly live up to being the backbone of the dark creatures, possessing outstanding qualities! If Black Blood Stones and spirit stones are combined, even an ordinary cultivator can display heaven-defying might!” Feeling the changes in his body while cultivating, Su Chen could not help but sigh in wonder.

Spirit stones could accelerate one’s cultivation speed, while Black Blood Stones made the body undying. The two combined could virtually make one undefeatable!

Several more days passed. Su Chen’s comprehension of the physical body also deepened. Mysterious divine patterns had also emerged on his exterior.

Especially outside his sea of Qi, the patterns were profoundly complex, glowing with an immortal aura that seemed to grant everlasting life, overlooking the endless tides of time.

Boom!

At this moment, a loud rumble sounded. Su Chen opened his eyes while cultivating. In an instant, his eyes unleashed incomparably dazzling divine radiance, as if peering through the endless river of time.

Currently, he was like a lofty living being revived, shaking the world for thousands of miles all around. Within those thousands of miles, chaotic energies roiled as the laws of life and death interweaved.

When Su Chen broke through to the Quasi-Saint Realm, his lifespan had already reached several thousand years. Now, with the Black Blood Stones’ assistance, he estimated his vitality could rival even Saint Realm masters.

After all, the Black Blood Stones were originally meant to fortify the physical body. And the body was the very foundation of cultivation.

Theoretically, the reason cultivators perished was their bodies decaying. Achieving an undying body was nearly equivalent to immortality!

“I wonder… How many times could 1 now be reborn from a single drop of blood…” Su Chen murmured, sensing the surging blood essence within..
