Dragon Blooded War God - Chapter 513: True Martial Poison Vine

The cave was in ruins. Liu Yiyi’s little house had collapsed during the fight. At the same time, rock and dirt had fallen off the walls of the cave, leaving the interior covered in dust.

But there was nothing on the ground. Liu Yiyi saw Long Chen sitting on the ground, but Demon General Strongman had completely disappeared, or rather been reduced to dust.

Liu Yiyi stared blankly at Long Chen. She saw blood coming from his mouth, so she knew that he was hurt. She also realized he had won after seeing the blood on his sword. If not, Demon General Strongman wouldn’t have disappeared completely …

Liu Yiyi slumped to the ground in shock. She didn’t know how to react after seeing Long Chen, but her tears soon fell and obscured her vision.

“Jiang Cheng …”

The man’s back was ingrained deeply into her mind. She would never forget him. She didn’t know how this had happened. She knew that Long Chen didn’t have any feelings for her, but everything he did, including the miracle he had just performed, enamored her.

Long Chen stood up and approached Liu Yiyi after some time. “Everything is done now. Why are you crying? Demon General Strongman is dead.”

“Dead?” Long Chen confirmed her suspicions and she wiped off her tears. “Jiang Cheng, you’re strong. I can’t believe you killed a Demon General at the Ninth Passage Stage. But his death will be major news in the Ancient Demon Domain. Let my mother deal with this, alright?”

Even if Long Chen hadn’t killed the Demon General, the Clear Shallows King would’ve done so after learning what the latter was planning to do to her daughter and direct disciple. Long Chen was confident that she would handle it perfectly.

“Tell your mother about what happened today. From today onwards, I not only want to cultivate the Demonic Illusion, but also this technique. I think I will make a lot of noise when I cultivate it, so let me have the cave for now. Is that alright?” Long Chen saw that she was attracted to him. This was not good for him, because he was going to leave sooner or later and didn’t want to hurt her feelings.

So he had no choice but to be more stern.

Liu Yiyi naturally didn’t know what he was thinking. She thought he just wanted to focus on cultivating and didn’t want to be disturbed. Plus, there was nothing she could teach him other than the Demonic Illusion. That was when she looked at what he was showing her.

It was a hand-copied manual of the technique that Long Chen had taken from Demon General Strongman’s Universe Pouch.

“This is … The True Martial Demon Body!” Liu Yiyi was shocked, but she soon recovered. Long Chen had killed him, so of course he would have Demon General Strongman’s Universe Pouch.

“What do I need to do to cultivate this? Is there a rule saying that I can’t cultivate it?”Fôllôw 𝒏ew stories at n𝒐/v(e)lb/in(.)com

“ … There is, but since you are my mother’s direct disciple and Demon General Strongman is working under us, my mother has the authority to let you learn two King-tier techniques. But … You need to cultivate both of them in just sixteen days. Are you sure you can do it?”

“We never know unless we try.”

“Alright. Let me talk to my mother first …”

She stared at him longingly before she left.

“Tsk tsk. Brat, you sure have guts. How could you turn such a beauty away? I’m speechless. Are you sure you’re not useless in a certain aspect? I didn’t think you would get ‘defeated’ from the slightest touch.” The cat taunted him.

“And you are still a useless cat,” Long Chen retorted. “Your thoughts are too simple. She’s just a passerby in my life. I will not stay here for long. I live to fight, and she’s a good girl. I can’t ruin her life here.”

“Are you sure? I bet she would strip naked the moment you ordered her to.

“And there would be one more Clear Shallows King in the Ancient Demon Domain.”

Since she was not destined to be with him, he swore not to hurt them.

“Stop spouting nonsense. The strength in my body is unstable. I need some time to consolidate it. Blood Sacrifice is still too risky to use. Thankfully, I managed to earn back a million and a half Heavenly Passage Pills, as well as the True Martial Demon Body, a King-tier Body Tempering technique! I need to learn both the True Martial Demon Body and the Demonic Illusion in sixteen days! Only then will I have the confidence to beat Chen Feng!”

Long Chen was determined.

He resumed cultivating!

Long Chen didn’t have time to waste if he only had sixteen days! He consolidated the strength he obtained from Blood Transmutation while starting to cultivate the True Martial Demon Body. Since he was fairly familiar with the Demonic Illusion, he only needed to spend four hours a day practicing it!

He was certain that he could master it in sixteen days!

It was more important for him to get started on the True Martial Demon Body.

Long Chen’s comprehension had been increased thanks to the Inherited Blood Essence, and his physical body had also improved greatly. His body was even stronger than that of a King-tier beast. Therefore, his talent in cultivating Body Tempering techniques was unmatched in the entire Divine Martial Empire!

The Inherited Blood Essence would also improve his potential throughout his life. His increased physical strength was just a byproduct of it. Long Chen hadn’t even cultivated a Body Tempering technique and yet, his body was on par with that of someone who had cultivated an advanced Heaven-tier Body Tempering technique. It was clear that the potential of his physical body was unimaginable.

The True Martial Demon Body!

It was one of the three strongest Body Tempering techniques in the Ancient Demon Domain. One’s strength would increase so much that they could split mountains after successfully cultivating it.

But it was not simple to master it. Long Chen required a certain elementary King-tier spiritual herb called the True Martial Poison Vine. Even though it was poisonous, it could spur the body’s immune response to strengthen it. The manual described that one would need the poison to harden one’s body to cultivate the True Martial Demon Body.

Long Chen naturally didn’t have the spiritual herb, so he had to rely on the Clear Shallows King. On the second day, the Clear Shallows King brought the herb to Long Chen along with Liu Yiyi.

“This is just a short segment of the vine, but it costs more than a million Heavenly Passage Pills. You need to be certain that you will be able to cultivate it so it’s not a waste of money!” The Clear Shallows King was secretly shocked at Long Chen’s improvement. She could see his potential to become stronger was several times better than the other geniuses.

“Don’t worry. I will make sure that Liu Yiyi will not have to marry someone she doesn’t like.” Long Chen chuckled. Even though he looked relaxed, the strength hidden in his eyes assured them that he would succeed.

Clear Shallows King only gave him the vine after seeing his eyes.

“I’ve dealt with the matter of Demon General Strongman. No one will ask about him again. You can continue to cultivate in peace. I await your results.”

“Thank you!” Long Chen was grateful for her help. Even though they were using each other, he still had to thank her. Without her help, he would never have been able to get the Demonic Illusion or the True Martial Demon Body. Part of his strength had been obtained with the help of the Clear Shallows King.

“Win in the assessment and make the Clear Shallows Pavilion famous. Only then will I thank you as well. You can cultivate now. Let’s go.” She then took Liu Yiyi away. Once they were gone, Long Chen focused on cultivating the True Martial Demon Body.

“The True Martial Poison VIne is a crucial part of the cultivation process. All I need to do is resist the poison. I need to use my Qi to refine it and turn the poison into my strength. Only by doing this repeatedly can I cultivate the True Martial Demon Body.”

Long Chen did not hesitate to swallow the vine!

After it entered his stomach, it rapidly dissolved just like the Inherited Blood Essence. It then circulated throughout his body and turned his skin black! Long Chen looked like a human-shaped charcoal!

Pain!

Unending pain!

The poison was like little spikes that poked Long Chen’s body incessantly. He felt pain all over. If his will wasn’t strong enough, he would’ve passed out and died from the poison.

A King-tier spiritual herb’s poison was not that easy to endure!

Doge & Chacha’s Thoughts

I mean, I guess it makes sense? Build up resistance by poisoning yourself a little. Just like how we drink more beers to get better at drinking
