Supreme Dragon Martial Soul-Chapter 331 - 7 What Are Divine Skills? Courting Death!

"Die!"

The man in black stood in the void, his blood-red eyes blazing like fire, glaring down at the people below. His skeletal, purplish-green fingers reached downward as if clawing at the air!

Shhh!

A massive, blood-red claw teeming with blood energy materialized, rushing down with overwhelming force and radiating a pungent scent of blood—ominous and malevolent!

"Kill!"

A Luo Family elder, unable to escape in time, roared with his beard and hair bristling, raising his blade to unleash an awn of radiant, scarlet light.

Boom!

The blade light shattered. The elder’s entire body was crushed into a bloody pulp with a resounding smack, suppressed by the blood-colored claw. The ensuing shockwave of blood mist stained a large portion of the ground red!

Witnessing this scene, the faces of the Luo Family members paled in shock, one and all engulfed by despair!

Even Lin Canglang, who had achieved the Divine Bridge, had already proven unstoppable.

Now, a new Awakening Vein cultivator had entered the fray!

The cultivation hierarchy of martial arts: Body Refining, Transcendence, Tongxuan, then Awakening Vein!

The stages of Body Tempering, Transcendence, and Tongxuan lay in forging the body, uncovering its hidden potential, and honing physical strength to its limits!

When potential reached its utmost, cultivation evolved from the flesh to the Divine Soul, forging the Life Spirit Light to build the Divine Bridge, connecting heaven and earth, awakening the Martial Soul, and summoning the Primordial Vein—ultimately achieving Divine Skills!

What are divine skills?

Flying through the air, crossing the void, commanding water, fire, and lightning, splitting rivers, shattering mountains, plucking stars from the heavens!

Turning impossibilities into possibilities—this is the power of divine skills!

It could be said that true cultivation only begins once one attains the Awakening Vein Realm!

An Awakening Vein cultivator appears godlike to mere mortals!

The entirety of Qishan City had not seen an Awakening Vein cultivator for years, apart from the mysterious City Lord Yun Daojiang!

None had expected that the mystery figure aiding the Lin Family was an Awakening Vein cultivator!

"Hahahaha..."

Lin Family Head Lin Canglang laughed heartily, taunting Luo Mingshan:

"Luo Mingshan, did you not expect this? Elder Qiu is a late-stage Awakening Vein cultivator of the First Layer! With Elder Qiu aiding my Lin Family, what could you possibly use to defeat me? Today, I will erase your entire Luo Family from Qishan City!"

The man in black descended from the void, his sinister and chilling gaze sweeping across the crowd:

"I’ll give you one chance—end your own lives!"

Wails filled the air.

Some young members of the Luo Family cracked under the crushing pressure, covering their faces in tears.

Even the seasoned experts of the Luo Family wore grim expressions, their faces ashen.

Luo Mingshan stared at the man in black, a resolute determination forming in his eyes. Without revealing his emotions, he turned to Luo Hong:

"Hong’er, I’ll buy you some time. Use the chaos to take Luo Cheng and head to the Xuanyuan Sect! Don’t look back!"

"Father!"

Luo Hong’s face twisted with shock.

Luo Mingshan sternly rebuked: "Stop wasting words! Do you want to squander the last hope of our Luo Family here?"

Luo Hong’s body trembled, blood-red veins swelling in his eyes.

Had he not been ambushed by Sun Yingyang back then, sustaining injuries that crippled his cultivation, how would it have come to this—being humiliated by a mere late-stage Awakening Vein cultivator?

"Yes!"

Faced with the inevitability of the situation, Luo Hong gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Quick! We can’t hold them off much longer..."

Luo Mingshan secretly activated his essence energy, readying himself to fight to the death and buy time against Lin Canglang and his men. Suddenly, his expression shifted.

Tap... tap... tap...

Footsteps echoed as a figure emerged from the hall and stepped forward.

"Luo Cheng!"

Once Lin Canglang made out the figure approaching, his pupils contracted sharply.

Entering the courtyard was a young man dressed in blue, with a sword at his waist. His handsome and refined appearance, combined with the tranquil fierceness in his gaze, exerted an invisible sense of oppression. Who else could it be but Luo Cheng!

"We’re done for..."

Seeing Luo Cheng appear, Luo Mingshan’s face turned bleak. His entire being seemed drained of strength.

Luo Cheng arrived at Luo Mingshan’s side, his gaze sweeping across the scene, taking in the bodies of fallen Luo Family members littered across the ground. His eyes grew colder:

"Grandfather, I’m sorry I’m late."

Having spent days traveling, his body had been exhausted, and he had fallen into an unusually deep sleep until the sound of fighting roused him moments earlier.

Who could have imagined that such monumental chaos would ensue during his brief slumber!

Luo Mingshan looked at Luo Cheng, opened his mouth to speak, but ultimately said nothing.

At this point, the words were meaningless...

Luo Cheng’s temperament was no secret—if he was here, he would never run away alone.

Moreover, before an Awakening Vein cultivator, fleeing was but a futile dream.

"Heh! You wretched creature! So you’ve finally come out!"

Lin Canglang stared at Luo Cheng, his killing intent manifesting: "I didn’t think you’d return alive from the Xuanyuan Sect! But this works in my favor; it’ll be less hassle. Today, I’ll wipe your Luo Family cleanly off the map!"

Luo Cheng locked eyes with Lin Canglang, his tone eerily calm:

"Lin Canglang, had your Lin Family simply stayed quietly in Huang Shi Town, I wouldn’t have bothered returning to settle scores. But you—you’ve chosen the path of self-destruction."

"Hahaha! Self-destruction?"

Lin Canglang laughed as though hearing the most absurd joke in the world: "Boy, do you even know who you’re speaking to?"

Luo Cheng remained composed, unsheathing the Flame Trace Sword and walking forward step by step.

"Oh, by the way—there’s one thing I nearly forgot to tell you. Your Lin Family’s Lin Hankong? He’s already dead."

"What did you say!"

Another figure leaped forward—it was the Lin Family’s Third Elder, Lin Xuan!

His eyes burned with rage as he roared: "How did Hankong die!"

Lin Hankong had been his grandson, the one he’d placed all his hopes on, believing Lin Hankong would excel within the Xuanyuan Sect. Hearing of his death instantly ignited his fury, his blood boiling over!

Luo Cheng smirked, revealing stark white teeth:

"You sent him to kill me, didn’t you? What a pity. He proved useless and ended up dying beneath my sword."

"You beast! I’ll kill you!"

Lin Xuan erupted, a palm blasting toward Luo Cheng.

"Ignorant fool! You dare!"

Luo Mingshan had been prepared to counter, but someone moved even faster.

Shhh!

Sword Qi surged. Everyone’s vision blurred for a moment as the domineering palm strike was instantly split in two.

"You—!"

Lin Xuan froze in his tracks, his furious eyes locked on Luo Cheng as his mouth opened to speak.

In the next instant.

Thud!

Lin Xuan spewed a large mouthful of blood, his body splitting from his neck down to his abdomen before collapsing to the ground with reluctance!

"Third Elder!"

Lin Canglang was overwhelmed with shock, panic rippling through his face as he stared fearfully at Luo Cheng:

"You! How is this possible! Hah! Third Layer Tongxuan Realm! Impossible! You worthless scum—how could you reach the Third Layer Tongxuan Realm so soon after entering the Xuanyuan Sect! This is impossible!"

Lin Canglang’s exclamations came in rapid succession. He pointed a trembling finger at Luo Cheng, his expression utterly distraught, as though he’d seen a ghost!

Not just Lin Canglang—every person present fell into utter shock.

This included Luo Mingshan and Luo Hong.

Lin Xuan, who had been a late-stage Third Layer Tongxuan cultivator, had been killed instantly with a single sword strike!

What kind of power did this imply?

Luo Cheng continued his steady advance, the nine Essence Energy Vortices within his body roaring, his combat power rising to an unprecedented peak. An unstoppable aura emanated from him, sweeping across all directions!

"Since you’re all here, none of you leave alive today!"
