Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate
Chapter 420
Ten minutes later, Lin Rui received another warning email from the Security Bureau in the name of the First General.
The Security Bureau had informed all Alien Walkers on the Sky Extreme Star about the sudden incident in the northern part of the Demon Suppression Forest, including the tragic outcome that involved the loss of dozens of Dragon Transformation Martial Practitioners, counting among them a Two Stars Marshal.
Within the email, the First General once again warned all Alien Walkers to stay away from Luojing for the time being, and if there was a necessary reason to enter or lurk within Luojing, to proceed with extreme caution.
And had designated Lin Hao as an SSS-ranked extremely dangerous individual, advising all Alien Walkers to avoid approaching him as much as possible.
With a helpless smile, Lin Rui closed the email and surveyed the surface of the river.
The battle on the river was also drawing to an end, with everyone who had pursued the Outer Heaven Demons gradually returning.
Lin Rui was quite dissatisfied with these guys, considering that the Heavenly Demon prisoners were still held on the ships.
If the enemy decided to launch a surprise counterattack at this moment, it would mean certain death for them.
Fortunately, Ji Xueying and Shangguan Tianyi had stood by his side at all times without leaving, and a few of the Dragon Guard trainers led by Xianyu Yan had followed his commands. The three hundred Imperial Dragons of the Spy Detection Bureau dared not disobey his will, ensuring that the prisoners on the three ships remained unharmed.
By this time, the Second Divine Envoy and Luo Wangshu had already returned.
After sinking all four of the Destroyer Starships, they showed no further interest in the remaining ships.
The Second Divine Envoy glanced distantly towards the river and finally his gaze fell on Shangguan Tianyi's Battle Dragon.
With an unpleasant expression and a cold glare, he ultimately let out a dissatisfied huff and flew off in the direction of Luojing.
Luo Wangshu, however, landed on the deck and spoke with appreciation, "Little Hao Hao did well this time! Once again severely hitting the Heavenly Demon, several High Priests in the Divine Palace have praised you. They said that soon, the Divine Palace will bestow treasures upon you as a reward for your exceptional service."
Lin Rui sensed that Luo Wangshu's tone was mostly filled with relief, but it also contained a hint of helplessness.
He guessed that Luo Wangshu was worried he had killed too many Heavenly Demons and would become a target of the Outer Heaven Demons, concerned for his situation.
Lin Rui couldn't help but scratch his face, pondering that he too wished for peace, but the proverbial tree wanted to stay still while the wind wouldn't cease; he couldn't just stop even if he wanted to.
After all, could one simply refuse meat that had been delivered to their mouth?
Better to swallow and digest it now, for what would happen if others were to feed him even more meat later, and he couldn't handle it?
Luo Wangshu kept looking at the two Battle Dragons standing on the ship, especially the one beside Shangguan Tianyi on the left, which evoked a strong sense of surprise and admiration within her, "Goodness, a Peerless Sword Spirit Dragon! Sixth Realm Emperor Stage, I didn't expect that the most outstanding among this generation of Dragon Guards would end up in your bowl."
Luo Wangshu then looked at Xianyu Yan with a puzzled expression, "Wasn't it reported to the Divine Envoy by the head trainer of the Dragon Guard Capital that Shangguan Tianyi had been practicing Dragon Stage Martial Arts privately and had been contaminated by the Ten Thousand Thunder Venerable? It was said that she would never be able to undergo Dragon Transformation, and even if she did so by chance, she would become a vessel for the Ten Thousand Thunder Venerable's resurrection. So what is the meaning of this? This Peerless Sword Spirit Dragon seems to be in good condition, without any trace of contamination."
The fact that Lin Hao had managed to recruit a Dragon Guard of Sixth Realm Emperor Stage strength delighted her, but it also truly bewildered her.
Xianyu Yan clasped her hands together, "Divine Envoy, the previous assessment of Shangguan Tianyi was handled by others, so I'm not very clear on the details. However, as far as I know, Shangguan Tianyi had never been contaminated by the Abyss before undergoing Dragon Transformation, passed all her evaluations with full scores, and her Primordial Spirit showed no signs of contamination. Perhaps the head trainer made a mistake?
Also, before the Dragon Transformation, Shangguan Tianyi awakened a Super Monarch rank Bloodline Talent 'Divine Heart Clarity'. Perhaps the head trainer overlooked this fact."
Xianyu Yan had learned about Shangguan Tianyi awakening the 'Divine Heart Clarity' Bloodline Talent before her Dragon Transformation directly from Shangguan Tianyi herself.
She wasn't certain if it was true, so she simply repeated it directly.
As for the previous statement, Xianyu Yan was also intentionally covering for Shangguan Tianyi.
It is true that Shangguan Tianyi had consistently passed every assessment with full marks and showed no signs of demonic contamination, but that was because she never used more than twenty percent of her power in the assessments.
Since the girl never unlocked more than twenty percent of her power during the assessments, no one could see through it.
As Xianyu Yan finished speaking, the various Dragon Guard trainers around her showed unusual expressions.
They knew the head trainer of the Dragon Guard was likely in trouble, as a top-tier talent like Shangguan Tianyi had, due to a momentary oversight by the head trainer, fallen into Lin Hao's hands – neither the Divine Envoys nor the Heavenly Venerate would let this go easily.
They were even more astonished by Shangguan Tianyi's talent; 'Divine Heart Clarity' was one of the best Bloodline Talents against Abyss Pollution.
It enabled one's Divine Soul to temporarily enter an unbreakable state likened to that of a God, turning oneself into a 'God', and thus having nothing to fear from Abyss Pollution.
Never would I have imagined that this girl actually awakened "Divine Heart Clarity" before her Dragon Transformation!
No wonder Shangguan Tianyi not only survived the Dragon Transformation tribulation, but her Bloodline Power advanced a step further, reaching the level of a Monarch Stage!
Only Xianyu Yan knew that Lin Hao must have employed some other means.
She knew Shangguan Tianyi best. With Shangguan Tianyi's level of Abyss Pollution, it wasn't something that 'Divine Heart Clarity' alone could suppress.
"So that's how it is!"
Luo Wangshu's expression cleared slightly as she nodded, "This means you got lucky, little Hao. Your luck really is indescribable. Know this, back in my day when I underwent Dragon Transformation at the Sixth Realm, I barely entered Monarch Stage as well."
Lin Rui couldn't help thinking, holy shit, is my master really that awesome?
So my master's talent is indeed formidable.
He knew Luo Wangshu came from humble beginnings and had no foundation in the past.
Moreover, at that time, Luo Wangshu had no access to any Armament or any Heavenly Demon serum injections.
Luo Wangshu then looked at another Battle Dragon beside her, its gold and crimson scales intermingling: "Emperor Flame Battle Dragon, is that the one from around 6700 years ago, belonging to Ji Shenyan? What exactly is going on here?"
She had seen the detailed records of the incident in Silver Moon County, so she knew the name Ji Shenyan.
"Master, your insight is piercing!" praised Lin Rui before he gave a wry smile, "I also don't know what's going on. It seems this General Ji hasn't died and is still alive within this Emperor Flame Battle Dragon. I made a deal to help her resurrect, in exchange for her allegiance to me."
"Hmm?" Luo Wangshu let out a surprised sound, and then nodded slightly, "Indeed, there have been such cases where the body dies but the Primordial Spirit survives by clinging to a Battle Dragon, although it's very rare."
Luo Wangshu couldn't help but think of the battle several months ago on the Tianxiang River in Wangcheng County between Lin Hao and Burning Saber Sect Master Qi Yan of the Xuanhuo Saber, thinking that this explained it all.
At this moment, Luo Wangshu noticed a red gem embedded in the forehead of the Emperor Flame Battle Dragon.
"Is this 'Emperor Blood Gem'?"
Lin Rui, hearing this, felt surprised, "Master, you recognize this item?"
It was precisely the item Ji Shenyan had removed from the Burning Saber Sect Master's liver.
He had searched the Federation Security Bureau's databases but hadn't found any information on this item and didn't know what it really was.
"It's the Essence Blood transformed and left behind by Great Zhou's Founding Battle Dragon. It is said to have been an 'Emperor Flame Battle Dragon' of the Ten Realms Super Monarch Stage,"
Luo Wangshu recalled a record she had seen before.
That 'Emperor Flame Battle Dragon', at the peak of Imperial City, had its head crushed and exploded by the hand of a God.
However, there was no need to tell Lin Rui about this matter.
She shook her head, "This General Ji was probably trying to use the Emperor Blood Gem to enhance and strengthen the Battle Dragon's Bloodline Power, so as to cross the threshold of the Monarch Stage! Since that's the origin of her ancestral Bloodline, there's a good chance of success. However, just this Emperor Blood Gem is not enough, I remember there should be some more in the Divine Palace from Great Zhou's Founding Battle Dragon. They happen to be awarding gifts, and later I'll have them give you one or two large ones."
Luo Wangshu chuckled lightly, "No wonder you were so certain before, not the least bit worried or scared. With these two Battle Dragons guarding you, you indeed don't have to worry about safety."
She also felt relieved. With Shangguan Tianyi and this Battle Dragon, along with the Battle Dragon projections summoned by Lin Rui, many of the Eight Realms were no match for him.
Near Luojing, Lin Rui no longer had to fear anyone below the Ninth Realm.
If only the Blood Saber Lady could also undergo Dragon Transformation, to have dual Monarch Stage guards by his side, Lin Rui's safety would be truly ensured.
"By the way!"
Luo Wangshu suddenly remembered something and took out an item. It was a Rune Disk, forged entirely from metal, gleaming with a silver-white luster, covered with all sorts of mystical runes, giving off a strong sense of science fiction.
"This was left behind by that Eight Realms Outer Heaven Demon. You should find it useful. It seems capable of locking onto a specific location to teleport. If you encounter any danger in the future, just use it to come straight to me."
Lin Rui glanced at it and thought, isn't this the Transmission Talisman Plate used by Li Yuehua and the others?
Although it could only be used once, it truly was a valuable item, one that could save his life in extreme situations.
