After leaving the Canaan Academy, Xu Zong found a place with no one around, blasted open a mountain cave, and flew in.

After burying himself, Xu Zong took out the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Essence Blood from his storage ring and examined it for a while. Then, he swallowed it in one gulp. The essence blood entered her abdomen and immediately emitted a terrifying aura, as if it wanted to tear her body apart.

Xu Zong remained calm. At this point, the essence blood of a mere Combat King level was nothing to her.

Her combat energy surged out, forcefully suppressing the drop of essence blood inside her body, and then began to refine it.

During the refining process, Xu Zong also activated the Dragon God Technique. Immediately, her body emitted the sound of dragon chants. After the essence blood was refined and the Dragon God Technique was fully activated, her body suddenly transformed, disappearing from the original spot. In her place was a coiled giant dragon, about tens of meters long, with pale red eyes, heavy pupils, and purple scales covering its entire body, exuding an astonishing monster aura.

Unlike the dragon transformed by Xu Zong using the Dragon God Technique, the dragon she transformed into was exactly like the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon, possessing the innate talent of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon!

And the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon clan was born with extremely powerful spatial talent! Their control over spatial power reached an incredibly astonishing level.

“If this were in the Swallowed Star World, would the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon clan be the favorite of the spatial laws, just like the Demon Slaying Clan?”

Xu Zong, in the form of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon, moved her body and directly broke through the cave, flying into the sky, soaring freely.

This feeling was very different from the feeling of using combat energy to transform into wings. She could vaguely sense the fluctuations of space!

This was very incredible because under normal circumstances, one could only barely touch the power of space after reaching the Combat Master level, freely use it after reaching the Combat Lord realm, and open up space after reaching the Combat Saint realm.

She had just stepped into the Combat Master realm, so theoretically, it was impossible for her to sense the fluctuations of space. The Tai Xu Ancient Dragon clan was truly the favorite of space!

“Right, why not try the Ten Thousand Line Flow!”

Xu Zong suddenly had a thought in her mind and came up with a peculiar idea.

The Ten Thousand Line Flow was a flying secret technique she obtained from Babata. It was also a body movement secret technique based on the laws of space. Only by mastering the laws of space could one truly unleash the power of this secret technique.

Using the body of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon, Xu Zong performed the Ten Thousand Line Flow, and her flying speed instantly increased several times!

During flight, her body became extremely agile, even more agile than a human body, and her body seemed to shuttle through the void, becoming very blurry. If she were to engage in combat, the enemy might not even be able to determine her true body!

“The body of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon is perfectly suited for the Ten Thousand Line Flow secret technique!”

Xu Zong’s face showed a pleased expression. This was an unexpected surprise.

In this regard, in terms of flexibility and escape ability, she surpassed her human form!

But in terms of combat power, she still couldn’t compare to the power that could be exerted by a human body that could unleash several times its strength. Moreover, she didn’t have any combat techniques suitable for use in the form of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon.

After playing in the sky for a while, Xu Zong returned to her human form.

“The spatial talent of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon is a pleasant surprise. During this time, I can focus more on practicing the Ten Thousand Line Flow secret technique. In this way, Swallowed Star Xu Zong doesn’t have to waste time on this.”

Xu Zong thought to herself. Although she had many differences from the other Xu Zongs in the group, they were all the same person. They had all benefited from each other in the past and tacitly felt that maintaining this kind of relationship was better.

Isn’t it better for everyone to become stronger together?

……

In the Black Horn Domain, there was a very grand city called Maple City.

This was a famous city in the entire Black Horn Domain because the owner of this city was none other than the Medicine Emperor Han Feng, who was renowned in the Black Horn Domain!

Medicine Emperor Han Feng was a sixth-grade alchemist. In the entire Black Horn Domain, he was undoubtedly the strongest alchemist. His extensive network of contacts was enough to command half of the strong individuals on the Black List. Moreover, he himself was also a nine-star Combat Emperor level powerhouse, ranking third on the Black List. His own strength was also not to be underestimated!

In the center of Maple City, there was a huge castle. That was the residence of the owner of Maple City, Medicine Emperor Han Feng!

As soon as Xu Zong arrived here, the combat energy in her body erupted like magma. Countless violent winds swept around her like a tornado, gradually transforming into blurry bird-beasts and rushing towards the castle below without hesitation!

“Boom boom boom!”

For a while, countless explosions resounded on the castle. The buildings collapsed like mud sculptures, and the gardens and pavilions were all destroyed in the endless gusts of wind.

When the bombardment ended, the entire castle had become a ruin, not even a complete brick could be found.

Xu Zong nodded secretly. The power of the Three Thousand Crow Slaughter was indeed astonishing. Each blurry bird-beast possessed the power of an ordinary Combat Technique attack.

It seems that even Yun Potian himself couldn’t cultivate this combat technique to the extreme. It should not be his creation, and I don’t know where he got it from.

“Who are you? How dare you come here and act recklessly!”

Soon, with an angry roar, a young man in his thirties flew into the sky, glaring at Xu Zong with an angry expression.

He was wearing a blue alchemist robe, and although his face was handsome, his expression was very harsh. He emitted a strong medicinal fragrance, which made people can’t help but have a good impression of him.

“Are you Han Feng?”

Xu Zong’s expression remained unchanged as she looked at the young man indifferently.

“So what if I am?”

Seeing that she was only in her teens, the young man naturally looked down on her and sneered arrogantly.

“Tell your master to come out, are you just a bait?”

“If that’s the case.”

Xu Zong nodded slightly and flicked her finger.

The many blurry birds and beasts surrounding her gradually merged under her control, turning into a huge blurry bird and beast over ten meters tall, and then swiftly flew towards Han Feng!

“What a terrifying power!”

As soon as Xu Zong made a move, Han Feng saw that the huge blurry bird and beast contained a destructive and violent energy like doomsday. His face changed drastically, and he turned around and tried to run.

But the huge blurry bird and beast seemed to have locked onto him, turned sharply, and chased after him even faster than he could fly!

Han Feng’s face turned pale with fright. He gritted his teeth and threw out a flame that rippled like seawater, forming a huge falcon that screamed and rushed towards the huge blurry bird and beast!

The flame falcon collided with the blurry bird and beast, but only a slight buzzing sound was heard. The roaring flame falcon disappeared like a stone sinking into water.

Immediately, under Han Feng’s horrified gaze, the huge blurry bird and beast instantly flew over and swallowed him in one bite!

“Boom!”

A huge explosion resounded, and endless airflow spread in all directions. The massive shockwave covered an area of thousands of kilometers, turning this area into a forbidden zone.

“The power is really great!”

Xu Zong secretly praised. In fact, she hadn’t even practiced this combat technique to the extreme, but even so, it already had such terrifying power, truly living up to its name as “Comparable to Heavenly Rank”.

After the strong wind dissipated, nothing was left in the original place except for the blue flame emitting ripples where Han Feng was.

Xu Zong raised her hand, and a storage ring floated over from a distance and fell into her hand.

“Although I deliberately avoided this storage ring when I controlled the attack, it came out of the center of the explosion without any trace. Could it be an advanced storage ring?”

Xu Zong played with the blue ring for a while, and her soul entered it, instantly brightening her eyes.

So many medicinal materials, pills, and treasures!

She had already plundered a lot of treasures from the Blood Sect and the Earth Flame Sect before, and now she had obtained Han Feng’s lifelong collection, instantly becoming rich.

Xu Zong flew forward and collected the remaining Sea Heart Flame, which ranked fifteenth on the Exotic Fire List.

Through the Sea Heart Flame, Xu Zong’s soul swept out and “saw” an extremely weak soul sleeping within it.

Generally, if a person’s physical body was destroyed and their soul was not strong enough, their soul would also dissipate. Only souls that reached an extremely strong realm could survive out of thin air.

But if the exotic fire was refined during their lifetime, the exotic fire could become a container for the soul, temporarily preserving it. The reason why Yao Chen was able to escape with his soul under Han Feng’s assassination was also thanks to the Bone Spirit Cold Fire.

“It seems that the people from the Soul Hall haven’t noticed this place yet.”

Xu Zong speculated in her heart and turned to fly away.

Ascending to the Combat Realm, the Black Horn Domain was no longer useful to her.

……

Wutan City.

“Xiao Yan, Dou Qi, Seventh Stage! Level, Advanced!”

On the Xiao Family’s martial arts field, Xiao Yan took his hand off the stone tablet that tested Dou Qi.

The testers and many members of the Xiao Family who were watching were all stunned, looking at Xiao Yan with shocked and strange eyes.

Bathed in the many gazes, Xiao Yan remained calm and walked down the platform.

Xiao Zhan, who was on the side of the square, couldn’t help but burst into laughter when he saw this, his face full of joy. The envoys from other forces who came to pay their respects also congratulated him.

“At the age of 16, reaching the Seventh Stage of Dou Qi is already considered a genius.”

“Considering that he was only at the Third Stage of Dou Qi a year ago, that means he has improved by four stages in just one year! He can be called a genius among geniuses!”

“In the future, the Xiao Family may have a chance to produce a Dou Emperor-level powerhouse!”

“This child is so terrifying! We must not be enemies with him!”

Soon, Xiao Yan held a coming-of-age ceremony and in the match with Xiao Ning, he directly advanced to the Eighth Stage of Dou Qi, shocking everyone present.

On the edge of the square, Xun Er watched the dazzling Xiao Yan on the stage, her eyes shining with a different light.

“What is that?”Suddenly, Xun’er noticed in the corner of her vision, a girl in a white dress had appeared out of nowhere. She was watching Xiao Yan on the stage, and couldn’t help but nod slightly, her heart filled with surprise.

This girl was exactly the same as the one who had appeared here a year ago!

At that time, she thought it was her own illusion, but it turned out not to be. Was this girl real? What was her purpose for appearing here twice in a row?
