198: Nine Dragons' Chant

A True Dragon exists in the present world.

Qin Chi made a judgment in his heart, but his movements did not stop. The golden mist in the Sacrificial Spirit Hall grew thicker, enveloping the Abyssal Dragon. Under Qin Chi's control, the power of vows surged, forming a vortex that surrounded the mecha.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged with the power of vows and poured in. Qin Jin was extremely serious and began to reshape the Golden Body!

Golden Body of Vows.

It was not the first time Qin had forged a Golden Body of Vows. Now, he was skilled at it. The power of vows was incorporated into the mecha, and a faint golden glow appeared on the Abyssal Dragon's surface, making this already imposing mecha seem to possess a subtle sacred aura.

The mecha, created by the military team, was already extremely powerful. With the refinement of the Golden Body and the addition of the Golden Body form, its combat power would undoubtedly reach a new level.

In Qin's vision, the Abyssal Dragon's True Dragon form, combined with the Golden Body of Vows—two powers belonging to the Great Wilderness—might also produce unexpected effects.

The cultivation continued.

As time passed, the sacred aura emanating from the Abyssal Dragon grew thicker. Through the azure lightning dark halberd, Qin had already confirmed that when the Golden Body of Vows was activated, the mecha's size would further increase.

And now, the Abyssal Dragon, already over a hundred meters tall, combined with the Golden Body of Vows, would undoubtedly become a magnificent giant.

Inside the Sacrificial Spirit Hall, the ethereal golden mist gradually diminished, and the Golden Body slowly took shape.

Yet, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth did not weaken, continuously pouring into the Abyssal Dragon's body.

Everything was nearing its end, proceeding very smoothly. As a sense of flawlessness subtly arose in his heart, Qin Jin's thoughts gradually slowed, and he slowly opened his eyes in the cockpit.

The Golden Body was flawless.

The Abyssal Dragon's special form, constructed through the power of vows, was now complete.

His own power interacted with the mecha, like an abyss and a sea. Qin Jin lowered his gaze slightly, and a hint of fighting spirit involuntarily arose in his heart.

Piloting such an extraordinary mecha, he couldn't help but want to find an opponent for a satisfying battle.

"The designer's suggestion can be adopted. Next, I can spend some time truly experiencing the famous mechas in the Star Sea, broaden my horizons, and see if there are any suitable opponents to spar with."

As he pondered, the last trace of leaked power of vows in the Sacrificial Spirit Hall was retracted by Qin.

He was about to make a move when, at that moment, sensing something, Qin Jin looked up. The Abyssal Dragon followed suit, directly gazing at the dome of the Sacrificial Spirit Hall.

Upon looking up...

The dome had transformed into a transparent state, allowing one to look directly at the sky. This was also a change in the Sacrificial Spirit Hall; it could now be truly called a spiritual dwelling, not merely a mundane place.

The Sacrificial Spirit Hall was already enveloped by divine light. Looking up through the dome, at the very top of the divine light where it met the sky, light flickered, and the divine light shone brilliantly, forming a spiral. Through the divine light, it descended, piercing through the dome in a breath, directly landing on the Abyssal Dragon and enveloping it.

Qin Jin, connected to the Abyssal Dragon, felt the same. This divine light appeared extraordinary, but when it descended upon the Abyssal Dragon, there was no sensation, no change, as if it were merely a decoration.

"What is this?"

A question arose in his heart. Before Qin Jin could think further, a sound echoed in the Abyssal Dragon's ear.

That sound was a dragon's roar!

The dragon's roar, seemingly coming from a great distance, was not just one. Some sounded slightly ancient, while others seemed to be at their peak. They intertwined, forming a marvelous melody—domineering, majestic, unparalleled.

As the dragon's roar entered his ears and the divine light descended, scenes appeared in Qin's vision. These scenes all depicted places enveloped by divine light.

He didn't know where in the Great Wilderness these places were located, but they now flashed before his eyes.

Qin Chi keenly caught sight of a familiar place among them.

It was Dragon Gate Peak!

The scenes flashed by, a total of nine different regions: there were mountains, rivers, and ethereal hidden places. After continuously sweeping past, they simultaneously appeared before Qin Jin. He clearly saw streams of light shoot out from these nine regions, ascending along the divine light, climbing into the sky, entering beneath the Divine Cauldron's restriction. Above the sky, they traversed countless distances in a single breath, rapidly flying.

As they traveled...

These nine streams of light actually formed nine distinct dragon shapes, soaring across the sky.

"This is?!"

Qin Jin's aura fluctuated, and his thoughts raced. He even directly activated the Enlightenment Treasure Technique for enhancement, recalling the recent changes in his mind, and finally came up with an idea.

"Is it related to the Mountain and River Divine Cauldron?"

"The power of vows is intimately connected to the Mountain and River Divine Cauldron. After helping the Abyssal Dragon condense its Golden Body of Vows, my new mecha became somewhat connected to the Mountain and River Divine Cauldron, thus causing this change?"

"That spiral divine light just now seemed to be merely a guide, which is why it didn't cause any changes."

"Wait."

"Nine distinct places, nine streams of light."

"Dragon Gate Peak was among them, but what about the other places?"

"Could it be that this triggered anomalies in nine ancient lands related to dragons?!"

The scene before his eyes lasted for several breaths before ending.

But Qin no longer needed to pay too much attention.

Because the nine dragon-shaped streams of light, which had flown from different regions of the Great Wilderness, were incredibly fast. When Qin Jin looked up again, he could already see the dragon shapes where the divine light met the sky!

In the next instant, the nine dragon-shaped beams of light rapidly descended. During their descent, they intertwined and merged into one, completely enveloping the Abyssal Dragon.

Si Huo Tribe.

After the heaven and earth anomaly, the Sacrificial Spirit Hall was enveloped by divine light, located at the center of the Tribe, its radiance illuminating all directions.

This, in turn, indirectly increased the majesty and sacredness of the Sacrificial Spirit, making the tribesmen even more devout.

At this moment...

Not far from Qi Chuan's residence, inside a spacious stone house, Qi Chuan stood at the front, holding a bone tablet. Before him were several serious young people.

With the expansion of the Tribe's heritage and Qi Chuan's advanced age, there clearly shouldn't be only one priest in the Tribe. For some time, he had been searching for suitable young people within the Tribe to teach and pass on the heritage.

Just as he was speaking earnestly, imparting all his knowledge, exclamations rang out from outside, "Great Elder!"

After Xia Yanh Tiger became the new leader, the elder system also began to be implemented within the Si Huo Tribe.

Qi Chuan stopped speaking, his expression unchanged, and looked at the tribesman who had rushed in with a shocked expression. He said in a deep voice, "What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

"Did some Tribe clash with ours?"

"No."

The approaching tribesman quickly shook his head, "It's the residence of Lord Sacrificial Spirit."

"Please come and see."

Hearing this, Qi Chuan's expression became serious. He followed behind him and left the stone house.

There was no need to get close, as the divine light connected heaven and earth, making it exceptionally conspicuous.

After Qi Chuan and his group emerged, many tribesmen within the Tribe had already noticed the anomaly, looking over with expressions of shock.

Qi Chuan gazed into the distance.

Before his eyes, the divine light connected heaven and earth, enveloping the residence.

However, ordinarily, this golden-glowing divine light was transparent, and there were no patterns or markings above it.

But now, the originally transparent divine light barrier was obscured. Above the divine light, dragon shapes appeared, coiling from the ground to the sky, intertwining with each other. At this moment, this divine light looked like a coiled dragon divine pillar!

"Don't panic."

The moment he saw this scene, waves stirred in Qi Chuan's eyes, but his tone, instead, revealed a hint of joy. He looked at the other tribesmen beside him, "Tell everyone, Lord Sacrificial Spirit has broken through!"

Breakthrough.

For the Si Huo Tribe, this was no longer an unfamiliar term.

The Heavenly Azure Method and Martial Arts spread within the Tribe, and even influenced by it, a small portion of tribesmen began to subtly rank the blood qi honed through methods like medicinal baths.

As the news spread, from one to ten, then to a hundred, if the tribesmen were initially nervous upon seeing the anomaly, now, their hearts were filled only with anticipation.

In the Tribes of the Great Wilderness, nothing could be more reassuring than such news.

Sacrificial Spirit Hall.

Nine Dragons entered the body.

The moment these nine dragon-shaped beams of light pierced into the Abyssal Dragon, Qin Jin clearly perceived that the flow of power within the Abyssal Dragon seemed to freeze for a moment.

Then—

With a roar, within the Abyssal Dragon, some parts of the power circuits, which had been countless times adjusted by the team, were broken and fractured.

The moment they fractured, power surged into them, reconnecting them and causing some subtle changes in the circuits.

It looked like an optimization.

Or rather, it was like reverting from acquired to innate, transforming from an industrial product to something more natural.

As the power routes reorganized, the original rune patterns on the Abyssal Dragon's surface subtly changed. Amidst the twisting patterns,

From any angle, dragon shapes seemed faintly visible.

Moreover, the mecha itself was also strengthened.

This was the Abyssal Dragon's transformation.

Qin himself, connected to the Abyssal Dragon, was also affected. As the nine dragons entered his body, he saw himself transform into a 'little dragon person' again, just like his first contemplation of Dragon Gate Peak. But the image flashed by, because within the Spirit Ruins, the True Dragon Cave Heaven had already begun to move!

Most of the power surged into the Abyssal Dragon, and a small part surged into Qin himself, not stopping, but going directly into the Spirit Ruins and entering the Cave Heaven.

After obtaining the exotic treasure gifted by the Dragon Maiden, the growth rate of the True Dragon Cave Heaven was already rapid. Now, with the entry of the nine dragon shadows, the True Dragon Cave Heaven became even more complete, undergoing tempering in the Cave Heaven, and then power surged out, solidifying the Spirit Ruins and nourishing himself.

"This is a fortuitous encounter."

"Moreover, it's a fortuitous encounter brought about by the new mecha."

"I'm benefiting from the Abyssal Dragon's good fortune."

This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.

With the external mecha strengthened and his internal cultivation progressing, Qin Jin could sense that his connection with the Abyssal Dragon had become even closer. If he were to test it again, perhaps his resonance with the Abyssal Dragon could reach the limit-breaking level.

Limit-breaking level is a standard set by the Federation. While it's not impossible to improve further after reaching this level, the specific improvement varies from person to person, and such a value has already surpassed the limit, making further re-evaluation unnecessary.

Cultivation knows no time.

As time passed, the dragon patterns above the divine light outside gradually faded, and the Abyssal Dragon's aura in the hall returned to calm.

At a glance, its appearance hadn't changed much, but in reality, it had undergone astonishing improvements.

After all, according to Qin Jin's inference, this might even involve nine ancient lands, seemingly related to dragons.

Inside the cockpit, as the mecha's pilot, Qin felt it most keenly.

He closed his eyes slightly, carefully experiencing the Abyssal Dragon's changes, his expression fluctuating.

"If it were in the past, facing a strong individual whose mental level exceeded a high boundary, they could tell at a glance that I was not one with the mecha."

"But now—"

"Unless it's a truly extraordinary existence standing at a high realm, otherwise, in the perception of others, the Abyssal Dragon wouldn't even be regarded as a mecha, but rather as a unique transcendent life form."

"With my own full firepower, combined with the Abyssal Dragon, I am truly powerful now."

"I'll ask Candle Kite if there are any suitable opportunities for mecha combat."

In the past, in the Great Wilderness, he benefited the mecha through his own power.

Now, the emergence of the new mecha allowed him to gain a fortuitous encounter himself.

The Federation's transcendent technology, combined with the Great Wilderness's transcendent elements, created marvelous changes.

Thoughts flashed through his mind. Qin Jin left the Abyssal Dragon's cockpit, put it away, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

The Great Wilderness.

Night fell.

In the past, there was no light in the Great Wilderness at night. Fire sources themselves could attract fierce beasts, so few people traveled in the deep night.

But after the heaven and earth anomaly, those beams of light illuminated heaven and earth, adding a touch of warm light to the Great Wilderness under the night sky.

A super-large team was traveling through the night.

Leading at the very front was a middle-aged man, looking ahead through the night, his face resolute.

He was Sheng Fang, the leader of the Tu Yang Tribe.

Not far beside him, a massive one-horned sheep lay prone on a floating platform made of giant wood. In front, tamed fierce beasts pulled it along.

As they traveled...

Sheng Fang's ears twitched slightly, and he looked ahead.

In Sheng Fang's gaze, in the far distance, dust billowed up, and a team of fierce beasts galloped towards them, with people riding on top.

"It's Sheng Yi and them!"

A shout rang out beside him.

Hearing this, the other tribesmen's wary expressions around them softened.

This team consisted of tens of thousands of people, and their marching speed was already not fast. They did not stop at this moment, and the figures galloping ahead,

As they approached the main force, they automatically moved aside.

The fierce beasts stopped, and dozens of figures leaped down from above, landing on the ground.

"Lord Sacrificial Spirit, Leader."

Sheng Yi, covered in dust, led the way. After approaching, she pointed to her side and introduced, "This is Brother Ding Yang from the Si Huo Tribe."

"After the Si Huo Tribe learned the news, they specifically sent them to meet us."

Ding Yang stood beside her. Despite the arduous journey, he was remarkably free of dust, his beast-skin clothes neat, and his demeanor extraordinary. He cupped his fists and said, "Ding Yang of the Si Huo Tribe greets Elder Qi Shan."

The Tu Yang Sacrificial Spirit had once visited the Si Huo Tribe with a clone, which the high-ranking members of the Si Huo Tribe all knew.

Ding Yang held immense respect for this Sacrificial Spirit who had protected his Tribe his entire life and was now nearing his end, yet still sought a way out for his Tribe.

"Ding Yang."

The Tu Yang Sacrificial Spirit, who had been feigning sleep on the floating platform, opened his eyes, looked at him, and softly asked, "Are you, the Si Huo Tribe, willing to accept us?"

"Lord Sacrificial Spirit has already agreed, and our other tribesmen also welcome all of you."

Ding Yang smiled, possessing the demeanor of a great general, "Our Si Huo Tribe was born anew from a calamity. We welcome every human compatriot to join."

Hearing this...

At the front of the team, the tribesmen of the Tu Yang Tribe exchanged glances, their expressions all fluctuating, and they let out a sigh of relief.

Not knowing where the road ahead lay was undoubtedly the most difficult thing.

And now, they seemed to have found a new way out.

"Everyone."

After speaking, Ding Yang's expression became a little more serious, "Due to the heaven and earth anomaly, various Tribes are constantly in turmoil now, with friction between them."

"Our team will likely attract a lot of attention."

"There's still some distance to our Tribe. Everyone, please be vigilant and prepare for battle. The Tribe has also organized a team, ready to come and assist at any time."

"Elder Qi Shan."

He looked at the Tu Yang Sacrificial Spirit, whose weakened state was no longer concealed, and said in a deep voice, "If necessary, please lend your assistance. I will also contact Lord Sacrificial Spirit for help."

"This old man understands."

Qi Shan replied, then continued, "Let's get going."

The entire Tribe migrated, continuing their journey.

The leader of the Tu Yang Tribe, meanwhile, walked alongside Ding Yang, conversing.

Lei Yu Star.

The holiday continued, solidifying cultivation.

One morning, Qin Jin went to the forbidden zone, communicated with Venerable Observer, and then returned home.

After some preparations, under Candle Kite's guidance, he boarded a starship bearing the 'Martial Abyss' insignia.

He had received a special message from the academy and was preparing to return to school early.
