Qin Ze was deeply shocked upon hearing this.
The realm of Dao Integration—what a level of cultivation that is! It's enough to roam freely between heaven and earth, wielding supreme power. He hadn't expected Shen Gongbao to have reached such a level, which made him feel even more insignificant.
Qin Ze began to ponder: given Shen Gongbao's immense strength, just how difficult would the path to breaking the seal of the Void Ancient Clan be? He realized he needed to cultivate even harder to increase his power.
I thought I was already very powerful after reaching the Breakthrough Realm, but it seems I'm still far from it.
Qin Ze arrived at the Monster Realm. He remembered that last time he sensed a monster with the aura of breaking through to the next realm here. If he could kill the monster that had broken through to the next realm, his strength would be able to reach a higher level.
With unwavering resolve, he continued flying deeper into the Monster Forest. The dense forest blocked out the sunlight, casting dappled shadows, and a vibrant atmosphere permeated the surroundings, seemingly reminding everyone that this region was teeming with life.
Finally, Qin Ze arrived at the center of the Monster Forest. Before him lay a vast lake, its surface as blue as a mirror, surrounded by lush trees and vibrant flowers and plants, like a fairyland painting.
Qin Ze closed his eyes, his senses probing the depths of the lake. As he sensed, he gradually detected a peculiar aura, an aura brimming with power, seemingly the aura of a powerful, breakthrough-level magical beast.
Qin Ze gathered his power, conjuring a massive energy ball, which he gripped tightly in his hand before hurling it towards the lake. With a deafening roar, the energy ball exploded, instantly pushing the lake water aside. A dragon's roar echoed from the rising mist.
A colossal azure dragon soared from the lake, its scales shimmering with emerald light. Its piercing eyes, filled with fury, stared at Qin Ze. Its roar, like thunder, echoed throughout the forest, startling countless birds and beasts. Its imposing presence enveloped the entire area.
A cold smile crept across Qin Ze's lips; he was already prepared for this battle. He unleashed the power of reincarnation, the powerful forces of the Emperor's Path and the Path of Slaughter flowing within him. His gaze was resolute as he stared at the Azure Dragon, facing this formidable opponent without flinching.
The Azure Dragon roared furiously and pounced on Qin Ze, its body moving like lightning. Qin Ze did not retreat but advanced, using the power of reincarnation to move as nimbly as the wind, meeting the Azure Dragon's charge head-on. The Way of the Emperor and the Way of Slaughter intertwined within his body, transforming into a magnificent light that enveloped him.
The moment the two forces collided, a powerful shockwave spread out, creating towering waves. Qin Ze wielded the God-Slaying Whip, each strike carrying the might of an emperor and the force of slaughter, fiercely striking the Azure Dragon. The Azure Dragon, not to be outdone, opened its enormous claws, tearing through space to meet Qin Ze's attack.
The battle was exceptionally fierce, with ripples of energy spreading throughout the heavens and earth. The lake water was stirred up, forming curtains of water that enveloped the battle scene. Qin Ze and the Azure Dragon clashed repeatedly, each collision releasing terrifying energy fluctuations that shook the entire Demon Beast Secret Realm.
Qin Ze sensed the Azure Dragon's ferocious power, but he did not back down. Instead, he fought with increasing ferocity, unleashing his inner potential and pushing the paths of emperors and slaughter to their limits. His attacks were like a storm, relentless and deafening, striking the Azure Dragon with deafening roars.
The Azure Dragon was not to be outdone. It swung its tail and tore with its claws, displaying its powerful draconic strength. Its roar echoed through the sky. Undeterred by Qin Ze's attacks, it transformed into a verdant dragon shadow, intertwining with Qin Ze.
In the battle by the lake, Qin Ze and Qinglong engaged in a fierce contest. The clash of their energies caused the entire Demon Beast Realm to tremble. The battle was filled with sparks and explosions; each collision released immense power, engulfing everything around them.
The battle between Qin Ze and the Azure Dragon raged fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand. The convergence of dragon roars and the power of reincarnation echoed throughout the entire Demon Beast Realm, eliciting gasps of awe from countless creatures. Every move Qin Ze made contained the ways of an emperor and the power of slaughter, making his attacks exceptionally fierce.
However, during this fierce battle, Qin Ze gradually discovered that the Azure Dragon's power was far greater than he had imagined. Its claws were like steel, its tail like a raging storm, and every counterattack contained devastating power, forcing Qin Ze to exert all his strength to cope.
However, Qin Ze did not give up. He constantly adjusted his tactics, making full use of the majesty of the Emperor's Way to suppress the Azure Dragon and look for an opportunity to counterattack. Finally, in a fleeting moment, Qin Ze successfully used the power of reincarnation to restrict the Azure Dragon's movements.
Then, he channeled his killing power, conjuring a black spear. This spear radiated an intense killing intent, like the lash of death, sending chills down one's spine. Qin Ze steadied himself, leaped into the air, and brandished the spear, unleashing a chilling killing aura.
The spear pierced the air, transforming into a black streak of light that hurtled towards the Azure Dragon. Although the Azure Dragon was restrained, its eyes were filled with unwavering determination, and it fearlessly met Qin Ze's attack.
The spear collided with the Azure Dragon's body, producing a deafening roar. Black killing power erupted upon impact, creating terrifying energy fluctuations that distorted the surrounding space. Qin Ze's blood seemed to boil; without fear or hesitation, he thrust the spear forward.
With a deafening roar, the spear pierced through the Azure Dragon's body. Black energy erupted from within the dragon like a volcanic eruption, instantly obliterating its form. The Azure Dragon let out a bloodcurdling scream as its body gradually disintegrated, transforming into countless rays of light that vanished into the air.
Qin Ze gripped the spear tightly, feeling a powerful force surge into his body the instant the Azure Dragon dissipated. This force contained the bloodline and energy of the dragon race, brimming with the breath of life, making him feel incredibly close to it.
Qin Ze took a deep breath, feeling the surging power within him. He knew he had successfully absorbed the Azure Dragon's energy, breaking through to the mid-stage of the Breakthrough Realm. He closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and began to guide this new power into his body.
At first, he felt that this power was somewhat difficult to control, like a wild horse trying to break free of its restraints. But Qin Ze remained calm and used his cultivation experience to guide this power into his meridians.
Within his meridians, that power began to slowly merge into his body. Every muscle and every cell seemed to tremble, welcoming the infusion of new power. Qin Ze felt as if his body was about to explode, but he knew that a breakthrough was not a momentary burst, but required a stable integration.
