Supreme Dragon Martial Soul-Chapter 267: The Roar of the Dragon, The Cry of the Phoenix!

Chapter 267: Chapter 267: The Roar of the Dragon, The Cry of the Phoenix!

Roar!

As Luo Cheng fully activated the All Heavens Dragon Control Technique, it seemed as if a chorus of dragons roared in fury, and even souls felt like they might shatter under its might.

Suddenly, a new transformation began!

The starlit vortex enveloping Luo Cheng’s entire body trembled slightly and, along with the Zhengrong Dragon Energy, retreated back into the Dantian!

When the starlit vortex came into contact with the Nine-colored Scale, an intense burst of Nine-colored Mysterious Light erupted, continually contracting until finally transforming into a Nine-colored Mysterious Egg.

This Nine-colored Mysterious Egg bore a striking resemblance to Luo Cheng’s Martial Soul, emanating a flickering divine glow and an enigmatic aura, suspended above nine swirling Essence Energy Vortices, slowly orbiting!

Meanwhile, seated at the center of the Practice Field, Luo Cheng’s pores emitted threads of Nine-colored Light, his flesh and blood nearly becoming translucent—golden and jade-like, shimmering and radiant!

At this moment, Luo Cheng forgot himself entirely and entered a profound state of unity between self and divinity.

In this state, his vitality fell into an astonishing stillness.

His breathing slowed tenfold, while his heartbeat seemed to cease altogether, rendering him like a withered tree, a steadfast stone!

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

During these three days, Chen Lingyu had come to seek Luo Cheng once, intending to persuade him to reconsider participating in the Outer Sect Competition.

But after calling his name several times without receiving a response, she was left with no choice but to give up.

And with the date of the Outer Sect Competition drawing near, the atmosphere across the Outer Sect became tense!

Many Outer Sect disciples secluded themselves in intense cultivation, striving for their last breakthroughs.

On the fourth night.

Inside the Practice Field, Luo Cheng sat cross-legged on a cultivation mat, with all traces of Nine-colored Mysterious Light already completely withdrawn. His exposed skin faintly radiated Golden Jade Light, his muscles sharply defined, as if cast from bronze and forged from steel!

As night deepened, the full moon hung like a plate, and the starlight sparkled brightly.

The courtyard was enveloped in serene silence.

Suddenly.

Crack!

The crisp sound of something breaking echoed from within Luo Cheng’s body.

From within Luo Cheng’s Dantian, a visible crack appeared on the surface of the Nine-colored Mysterious Egg!

As the crack rapidly extended, dazzling beams of divine light erupted from within, each radiance seeming to possess tangible substance!

In the next instant.

The Nine-colored Mysterious Egg completely shattered, releasing an intense brilliance that filled Luo Cheng’s Dantian!

Immediately, a vast and unfathomable aura surged outward from Luo Cheng’s body, like a raging storm crashing against the defensive array barriers of the entire Practice Field, causing them to tremble violently.

This enigmatic aura hovered above Luo Cheng’s head, gradually coalescing into the form of a dragon!

The dragon’s scales and claws rapidly became distinct, its head sprouting twin horns, and its limbs boasting five mighty claws. Its imposing majesty was fully revealed, and its cold, emotionless gaze distorted the surrounding space wherever it swept!

Roar!

All at once, the gradually materializing Zhengrong Dragon Energy let out a skyward roar—a phantom wave of sound that shattered through the heavens, filled with an ancient and primordial aura, reversing the balance of yin and yang, and disrupting celestial secrets!

In that instant, numerous experts of the Xuanyuan Sect awakened from their cultivation, their faces filled with confusion.

In that fleeting moment, they had sensed an unfathomable aura so immense it caused their souls to tremble.

Yet, upon closer inspection, they found no trace of it!

Immediately afterward.

Swish! Swish...

One after another, figures glowing with sparkling brilliance ascended skyward. Some even tore through the void, riding divine rainbows as they emerged, their cultivation revealing unfathomable depths.

Soon, the skies over the Xuanyuan Sect churned with clouds and mist, radiating divine splendor across the heavens.

"What has happened?"

Up in the firmament, two spatial rifts flickered faintly. From within the left-hand rift, an icy voice questioned, ancient and solemn, yet imbued with astonishing power, each word resounding like thunder and causing the void to tremble faintly.

Upon hearing the voice, those radiant figures resembling Upper Immortals immediately bowed humbly, displaying absolute reverence.

One figure responded respectfully, "Reporting to the Supreme Elder, we just sensed an eminent and inexplicable aura within the sect, prompting us to investigate. But why have the two Supreme Elders suddenly emerged from seclusion?"

From the right-hand rift came a gentle female voice, saying:

"We, too, felt this aura! It is extraordinary, even beyond my ability to discern its essence!"

"With the current turmoil—the Great Chu Empress missing, the precarious political climate, and the recent visit by long-hidden elders who took away one of our disciples—now this mysterious aura manifests. I fear these events may be interconnected."

The ancient commanding voice spoke again, filled with gravitas: "Investigate!"

"Understood!"

As the command rang out, figures dispersed like descending blossoms, streaking swiftly in every direction.

After the group departed, the gentle female voice asked: "Elder of the Ming Sect, what could this aura possibly be?"

The owner of the ancient voice laughed bitterly: "Though my cultivation is half a realm higher than yours, when it comes to Divine Soul and Spirit, you surpass me. If you cannot discern it, how could I know? However, this aura is singularly mysterious, appearing to transcend linear time and space—a rare anomaly. Let us hope it is not the harbinger of disaster. Otherwise..."

"Hmm."

The gentle woman also fell silent.

The skies above the Xuanyuan Sect shimmered brilliantly, with high-ranking members of the sect meticulously scouring for the source of the enigmatic aura.

Many passed over Qingxuan Peak, occasionally glancing toward Luo Cheng’s residence at Xuanyi Abode.

But the Practice Field appeared desolate, without a single person in sight. No one could perceive any trace of Luo Cheng’s presence, as if the entire space had ceased to belong to this world.

Meanwhile.

At Mengli Peak!

This mountain was the residence bestowed upon Yun Mengli upon her becoming a True Disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect.

In the sealed chamber atop Mengli Peak.

Yun Mengli sat cross-legged, adorned in pristine white robes like snow. Her breathtaking beauty, ethereal and untainted by mortal impurities, shone like a celestial light.

At this moment, her entire body was enveloped by cyan flames, even her luminous eyes shimmering with flickering fire.

In front of her, the Ten-star Green Bird Martial Soul burned fiercely, coiling gently around a jade column.

The jade column was surrounded by intricate fire-patterned glyphs, with its pinnacle supporting a legendary plant!

The plant bore eleven radiant stars within its form, resembling a phoenix tail and appearing like crystalized glaze, glimmering brilliantly. Its light coalesced into phoenix shapes, soaring and circling nearby, exuding an imposing aura that distorted the surrounding space unmistakably!

Frowning slightly, Yun Mengli gazed at the plant beneath her delicate brows.

"Worthy indeed of being the Phoenix Tail Flower cultivated over four thousand years. I underestimated it. Four months of seclusion, yet I couldn’t refine even the slightest portion. It seems my current Realm is inadequate..."

Four months ago, she had competed against Yuan Qingying, one of the top ten True Disciples, on Wind Rock Island. They each wagered a treasure.

Yuan Qingying’s wager was none other than this Phoenix Tail Flower!

The Phoenix Tail Flower contained a trace of True Phoenix Energy, potent enough to bolster the source of her Green Bird Martial Soul and even potentially elevate its Grade!

Yet Yun Mengli hadn’t anticipated spending four months in seclusion without making any progress in refining the Phoenix Tail Flower.

"I’ll give it three more months. If I cannot succeed, I’ll need to find an alternate solution..."

Numerous thoughts flickered through her mind before Yun Mengli calmed herself, dedicating her full focus to activating the Green Bird Martial Soul.

At that moment, a phantom dragon roar pierced across time and space, reaching her.

Before Yun Mengli could fully react, the Green Bird Martial Soul quivered gently amidst the roar and unleashed a sharp, clear cry, seemingly responding to the dragon’s call!

Soon after, the Green Bird Martial Soul burst forth with radiant cyan light, the roaring flames around it swelling to illuminate the chamber in dazzling brilliance, with the temperature soaring dramatically!
