154: Chapter 154 Re-entering the Abyss to Break the Seal, the War Dragon Soul Finally Obtains its Inheritance

Half a month later, Ye Qing left Tianya City once again.

This time, he did not hesitate at all and flew straight towards the direction of the Dragon Bone Abyss.

The leap in strength brought by his Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Late Stage filled him with confidence for this operation.

Arriving once again at the sea area shrouded in lead-grey clouds, Ye Qing could clearly feel that the dragon might permeating the air was even denser than last time.

That invisible pressure felt substantial, weighing heavily on his heart and causing the wind and waves on the sea surface to become much more violent.

"It seems that the sealing altar has indeed loosened. That Remnant Soul of the Heavenly Dragon is likely about to break free."

Ye Qing muttered to himself, not pausing any longer, and dove headfirst into the pitch-black seawater.

Like an agile fish, he dove rapidly into the deep sea, heading straight for the sealing altar located in the submarine basin.

The deeper he dove, the darker the seawater became, and the water pressure grew increasingly immense.

But for Ye Qing, who had already reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage, this bit of pressure was nothing to be afraid of.

Soon, he arrived once again before the dilapidated black altar.

The altar had not changed much since he left last time, still standing quietly in the center of the submarine basin, exuding an ancient and desolate aura.

But Ye Qing could clearly sense that the powerful Divine Soul fluctuation beneath the altar, which was sealed and filled with unwillingness and resentment, was several times stronger than when he had sensed it last time!

He could even hear faint, low dragon roars coming from the depths of the altar, as if from beneath the Nine Netherworlds!

The dragon roar was filled with anger, unwillingness, and a strong will yearning for freedom!

"Sure enough, the Seal is almost unable to suppress it."

Ye Qing took a deep breath, no longer hesitating, and began to take action, preparing to crack the sealing altar.

He did not rashly attack the altar directly, as that might likely trigger unpredictable consequences.

He first circled the altar, carefully studying the ancient runes engraved on the black stone.

Although most of these runes were incomplete, relying on the information he had deciphered from the black jade stele and his deep attainments in the way of Formation, he gradually sorted out the structure and operating principle of this sealing altar.

He discovered that the core of the Seal on this altar lay in the black stone pillar in the center of the altar, which looked ordinary but actually connected the Earth Veins and the power of the Sea of Stars.

As soon as that black stone pillar was destroyed, the Seal would be lifted.

But the moment the stone pillar was destroyed, the power accumulated in the Seal for countless years would also instantly erupt, forming a destructive shockwave.

If one did not have sufficient strength to resist it, it was very likely they would be directly blasted into dust by that shockwave.

"It seems that the Senior who set up the Seal also considered that future generations might come to break the Seal. That is why they left this insurance. To obtain the Remnant Soul of the Heavenly Dragon, one must first withstand the backlash of the Seal."

Ye Qing understood clearly in his heart, his gaze becoming solemn.

He slowly raised his right hand, and the hunyuan ruler appeared out of thin air in his hand.

On the ruler's body, dark silver light flowed, exuding a sharp aura.

He took a deep breath, circulated his Chaos Infant Essence to the extreme, and then, facing that black stone pillar, simply slashed down with the ruler!

Chi la!

A condensed-to-the-extreme dark silver ruler ray, as if capable of severing the Void Realm, flew out from the ruler, and like lightning, fiercely slashed onto the black stone pillar!

Crack!

A crisp cracking sound rang out!

The seemingly indestructible black stone pillar, before the sharpness of the hunyuan ruler, was like tofu, easily split in two!

The moment the stone pillar broke—

Hum—!!!

The entire altar shook violently!

An indescribable, violent-to-the-extreme energy, as if accumulated for countless years, erupted from the depths of the altar like a burst dam!

This energy, mixed with pure Spiritual Qi of the Earth Veins, the power of the stars, and the Divine Soul power of the Remnant Soul of the Heavenly Dragon filled with unwillingness and resentment, turned into a destructive black shockwave, sweeping madly in all directions with the altar as the center!

Wherever the shockwave passed, the reefs on the seabed instantly turned into dust, and the seawater was evaporated, forming a brief vacuum zone!

"Come!"

A sharp glint flashed in Ye Qing's eyes, and he advanced instead of retreating.

Holding the hunyuan ruler, the dark silver light on the ruler shone brilliantly, forming a huge, shield-like silver light curtain in front of him, forcefully blocking the incoming black shockwave!

Boom—!!!

A deafening loud noise exploded on the seabed!

The silver light curtain and the black shockwave collided wildly, annihilating each other, erupting with blinding light and violent energy turbulence!

Ye Qing's figure remained as steady as a rock in that violent shockwave, unmoving!

His Chaos Infant Essence, like a great river, poured continuously into the hunyuan ruler, maintaining the stability of the silver light curtain.

Although that black shockwave was violent, it was, after all, a rootless source, and after lasting for a while, it finally gradually dissipated.

Just the moment the shockwave dissipated—

"Roar—!!!"

A deafening dragon roar, filled with endless majesty and anger, erupted from beneath the altar!

Immediately afterward, a huge, illusory dragon-shaped phantom, condensed from pure black light, rushed up into the sky from the depths of the broken altar!

Although that dragon-shaped phantom was illusory, it exuded a terrifying pressure that was suffocating! That pressure was much stronger than all the Yao Beasts Ye Qing had encountered before!

Its eyes, like two blood-colored suns, locked tightly onto Ye Qing, filled with boundless resentment and killing intent!

"Human! You dare to disturb this seat's slumber! You are courting death!"

The dragon-shaped phantom spoke in human language, its voice like muffled thunder, exploding on the seabed, causing the surrounding seawater to churn violently!

Before its words fell, it opened its huge dragon mouth, which seemed capable of swallowing the heavens and the earth, and spat out a condensed-to-the-extreme black dragon breath, which seemed capable of destroying everything, shooting towards Ye Qing like a laser!

Wherever that black dragon breath passed, even space seemed to be corroded and twisted, exuding a heart-palpitating aura!

"I was waiting for you!"

There was no fear in Ye Qing's eyes; on the contrary, his Battle Intent was high!

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, he was just looking for a decent opponent to test his strength!

He held the hunyuan ruler, the dark silver light on the ruler was brilliant to the extreme, and his whole person turned into a stream of light, without dodging or avoiding, actively welcoming that black dragon breath!

"sword, break!"

He shouted loudly, the hunyuan ruler in his hand, like a divine axe opening the heavens and the earth, slashed fiercely at that black dragon breath!

Chi la!

A sound like cloth tearing!

That black dragon breath, capable of destroying mountains and rivers, was actually forcibly torn apart from the middle before the sharpness of the hunyuan ruler, turning into two black torrents that whistled past Ye Qing's body, bombarding the submarine mountain range behind him, collapsing half of the entire mountain range!

And Ye Qing's figure passed through the torn dragon breath unscathed, instantly rushing to the front of the dragon-shaped phantom!

"How is this possible?!"

The dragon-shaped phantom showed a look of shock in its eyes for the first time!

It obviously did not expect that this human Cultivator, who looked to be only at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, actually possessed such terrifying strength!

"There is nothing impossible!"

Ye Qing's tone was cold, and the hunyuan ruler in his hand was raised high again. On the ruler, dark silver light and Chaos Qi currents intertwined, exuding a terrifying aura that seemed capable of severing Karma and breaking all Laws!

"sword, sever Dao!"

With one slash, he struck fiercely at the head of the dragon-shaped phantom!

This strike was already the strongest attack he could unleash after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage!

The dragon-shaped phantom let out a roar mixed with shock and anger, its huge body twisting crazily, attempting to dodge this fatal blow!

But the speed of the hunyuan ruler was too fast!

It was like a maggot on a tarsal bone, locking onto the aura of the dragon-shaped phantom, and no matter how it dodged, it could not shake it off!

In the end, the hunyuan ruler slashed into the head of the dragon-shaped phantom without any obstruction!

"Awoo—!!!"

The dragon-shaped phantom let out one last desperate and unwilling roar, its huge body began to twist and deform violently, and finally exploded with a bang, turning into countless black light spots and dissipating in the seawater!

In its place, only a fist-sized, pitch-black crystal, shaped like a miniature version of the Heavenly Dragon, exuding rich Divine Soul fluctuations and the aura of the Law of Dragon Race, was left quietly floating there.

"heavenly dragon soul crystal!"

A look of pleasant surprise flashed in Ye Qing's eyes, and he hurriedly reached out to carefully hold the black crystal in his hand.

He could clearly sense that this soul crystal contained the purest Divine Soul Origin and Law insights left behind after the Remnant Soul of the Heavenly Dragon was purified!

"With this heavenly dragon soul crystal, my comprehension of the Law of Dragon Race will definitely reach a whole new level! It is even possible to take this opportunity to touch the threshold of Soul Transformation!"

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and carefully stored the heavenly dragon soul crystal into his Cave Heaven World, wrapping it layer by layer with the silver brilliance of the moonlight jade tree and several layers of Restrictions.

After doing all this, he finally let out a long sigh of relief, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

"This trip to the Dragon Bone Abyss is finally a success."

He took one last look at the completely shattered sealing altar, stopped lingering, turned around, and quickly ascended towards the sea surface.
