Chapter 177: Escape? Too late (more)

On the deck, Ye Bufan and Lu Bohan were still immersed in the perception of integrating into the formation. The majestic and vast sense of power was something they had never experienced before, and it was also of great benefit to them.

In particular, Cao Ze's use of that enormous power made them realize a lot and benefited greatly.

They estimated that if they could gain more insights, perhaps it wouldn't be long before they could break through to the fifth level of Dragon Blood.

Thinking of this, they all looked into the cabin at the same time, where Yue Lingke's figure was about to disappear, and then they looked at each other.

"Brother Lu also discovered it?"

Ye Bufan said with a sigh.

"The difference between the fifth and sixth levels of Jiao Blood is like the difference between heaven and earth. How can we not discover it?"

Lu Bohan shook his head slightly, and said with a sigh, "This is a genius!"

“We are really old!”

Ye Bufan sighed again.

He is the youngest patriarch among the four great families. He was originally full of energy and even thought about becoming the second patron saint of the four great families after Senior Bai.

Unfortunately, the cruel reality made him waste decades.

Now, seeing that the two younger generations have made rapid progress and have left them, the old men, behind in a short period of time, how can they not sigh?

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

He Zhengkui seemed to be thinking about something.

When Yue Lingke got on board, he was only at the fifth level of Dragon Blood. In less than a month, he had broken through to the sixth level of Dragon Blood. It was hard to say that this was not the effect of the formation.

So, if he can gain more insights, can he also break through to become a Dragon Blood Grandmaster?
He had heard in the past that people who followed a genius would often be influenced by the genius's luck and reach heights that were previously impossible to reach.

For him, this may not be an opportunity!
But although Cao Ze has shown great potential, his current cultivation level is lower than his after all. He is not sure whether Cao Ze is really the genius as the legend says.

He had also heard of many warriors who made rapid progress in the early stages, but ended up being stuck at a small bottleneck for their entire lives.

"Let's wait until he breaks through to become a Dragon Blood Grandmaster first!"

He Zhengkui hesitated for a long time and made a decision.

He knew that there was a huge difference in the value of providing timely assistance and adding icing on the cake, but he thought that providing timely assistance was also a kind of gamble.

……

Now that they had mastered the formation, Ye Bufan and Lu Bohan did not delay any longer and drove the boat at full speed towards Cape City.

In the cabin, the thunder that had lasted for more than a month suddenly stopped.

Not only that, the blood phoenix flower and spirit snake saliva that were originally in the shadow of the big cauldron had also disappeared, having been completely refined.

The refining efficiency of the two-legged cauldron created by Cao Ze and Su Xiaozhi was already terrifying.

After Yue Lingke joined, the refining efficiency was further improved, and now the task was finally completed.

Not only Cao Ze, Yue Lingke and Su Xiaozhi also benefited greatly. Su Xiaozhi has even become a second-level master of Jiao Blood.

Yue Lingke, who had just achieved a breakthrough not long ago, was also moving steadily and rapidly towards the seventh level of Jiaoxue.

Cao Ze slowly opened his eyes and called out the panel.
【Wu Fu:
Cultivation: Dragon Blood Level 7
Dan Ding Jue:
Yi Jiao (996843/655360)

……

Eight Dragons (1383/655360)

Snowfall Knife (Position): Perfection
Hitting the Sea (Intention): Getting Started (63921/100000)

Wind Shadow Step (Intention): Entry (2356/100000)

Heaven-flipping Seal (Intention): Minor Success (84629/200000)

Sea Covering Technique: Great Accomplishment (3451/280000)

Five Elements Refining Viscera: Perfection
Love Point: 917463】

At this time, there were already seven mini blood dragons in his lower dantian. Without any additions, he would naturally break through to the seventh level of dragon blood just by refining the Leiyin Fruit and other spiritual medicines.

However, at this time these blood dragons have merged into the flesh and blood, practicing the secret method of Covering the Sea.

After practicing the Leiyin Body Refining with five Leiyin Fruits, the Fuhai Jue was finally perfected. Without mobilizing the power of heaven and earth, Cao Ze could feel the surging power in his body.

He even had the confidence that he could fight against himself from a few months ago with his physical strength alone.

Of course, the biggest gain was undoubtedly Tianwei, which had also reached its peak at this time!
Cao Ze could easily mobilize the power of thunder with just a wave of his hands and feet, and he really had the power of the Son of Thunder.

Even the artistic conception of thunder has made considerable progress, which seems to be a case of rising tide lifting all boats.

Looking at the other two attributes of the Son of the Sea, Cao Ze was quite expectant. In his opinion, Jialang and Divine Consciousness would definitely not be worse than Tianwei.

But this is just a guess after all, he doesn't have so many extra points to improve these two attributes now.

They are about to arrive at Cape City. It is foreseeable that a great war is about to begin. He must improve his strength as much as possible and use his points to determine the attributes that can improve his combat effectiveness.

His efforts these days were not in vain. He accumulated more than 400,000 love points by refining spiritual medicines. Su Xiaozhi and Yue Lingke also accumulated more than 400,000 points by working hard.

Especially as Su Xiaozhi was promoted to the second level of Dragon Blood and Yue Lingke was promoted to the sixth level of Dragon Blood, the speed of accumulating love points has become quite considerable.

And as the communication deepened, Yue Lingke's favorability finally reached 80, and the bonus increased from 90% to 100%, which made Cao Ze quite pleased.

"Dan Ding Jue, give me some more!"

After taking stock of all the gains, Cao Ze made his choice without hesitation.

As Cao Ze's mind turned, a pure energy and blood force emerged from his lower dantian out of nowhere.

Seven mini dragon fish emerged from the flesh and blood like returning to the sea, gathered into a true dragon body, returned to the lower dantian, greedily absorbing this pure qi and blood power.

At the same time, next to them, a drop of blood-colored light containing rich energy and blood power is slowly growing.

Those mini dragons were gazing at it eagerly, and several times they even wanted to go forward and devour the blood-colored light ball, but the largest blood-colored dragon flicked its tail and swept them away.

How much qi and blood you can absorb depends on your own ability, but if you want to devour the new dragon's blood, you have to overcome this hurdle.

Now, this little blood dragon that was born at the beginning is as thick as a finger and two inches long. In the lower dantian, it is undoubtedly the overlord and has the responsibility of being the leader.

Under the protection of the little fat dragon, it didn't take long before the eighth drop of dragon blood condensed.

With a roar of a dragon, the pure energy and blood that emerged out of thin air in the lower dantian disappeared out of thin air, and several mini dragons returned to the flesh and blood where they lived. Under the nourishment of the Dacheng Fuhai Jue, they could obtain more nutrients in the flesh and blood.

Taking a long breath and looking at the little fat dragon that seemed like a tyrant, Cao Ze suddenly had an epiphany.

For an ordinary warrior, to condense a drop of dragon blood, one might need qi and blood power equivalent to 655360 points.

However, if they want to accumulate so much energy and blood, they often need the equivalent of millions or even more than a million spiritual medicines or hard training, because ordinary warriors will dissipate both the energy and blood and the spiritual medicine power.

But Cao Ze, who owns the panel, will not have this problem!

Not only that, in the process of condensing the dragon blood, these accumulated qi and blood forces will still be consumed, and in the end, the amount that actually affects the dragon blood is probably less than one tenth.

But for Cao Ze, these dissipated energies did not return to the world, but were absorbed by other dragon blood that had been condensed before!

He closed his eyes and felt the growing power, quietly stirring the heaven and earth, trying to pry the power of heaven and earth. In an instant, the sky and earth in the surrounding dozens of miles of sea were shaken, as if there was some kind of horrible thing hidden in it, which could erupt with earth-shaking power at any time.

On the deck, Ye Bufan and Lu Bohan suddenly felt their bodies tense up, as if they were being stared at by some scary monster, and their hair stood on end. They thought they were being stared at by a Dragon Blood Grandmaster from the Dragon God Temple, and they were so frightened that they dared not drive the boat towards Cape City. He Zhengkui, who was healing in the other cabin, opened his eyes and looked out the window with some confusion. He had just felt a frightened feeling, which was like facing a Dragon Blood Grandmaster who was using all his strength. Although the power was slightly weaker, it had indeed touched that threshold!

But he knew that it shouldn't be the Dragon Blood Grandmaster, otherwise, the opponent's attack would have fallen on them long ago.

Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly, just like their illusion.

In the cabin, Cao Ze gathered all his energy and looked at the panel again.
"Thunderous artistic conception, give me some more!"

As your mind changes, the world changes.

At the top of Leishan Mountain, there were dark clouds and thunder.

Every bolt of lightning was like a sharp sword from the gods, cutting through the night sky and shaking the entire world.

Cao Ze stood on the top of the mountain, as if he had merged into one with the thunder. He closed his eyes, feeling the rhythm of the thunder around him, as if he could hear their heartbeat and breathing.

Suddenly, a huge bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and struck directly towards Cao Ze.

He suddenly opened his eyes, lightning flashed in his pupils, his hands clenched into fists, and his muscles were tense. He took a deep breath and gathered his energy and blood between his fists. The thunder around him also gathered uncontrollably towards his fists. Then he pushed forward suddenly.

boom!
There was a loud bang, and the entire Leishan Mountain trembled.

Dazzling lightning burst out from Cao Ze's fists and collided with the huge lightning.

In an instant, the entire sky was illuminated by lightning, as if day had arrived.

The next moment, dense thunder fell like rain and thunder like a forest. Cao Ze waved his fists, repelling the thunder bombardment again and again.

In this fierce collision, Cao Ze seemed to feel the soul of thunder.

He seemed to see bolts of lightning shuttle between heaven and earth. Sometimes they were violent, sometimes they were gentle, but in any case they were full of power and vitality. He was immersed in this wonderful feeling, as if he had turned into a bolt of lightning, flying freely between heaven and earth.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but the thunder that was falling like sword rain suddenly stopped, and the rainstorm was just hanging in the air.

At this time, Cao Ze, who was standing on the top of Leishan Mountain, opened his eyes and looked at the thunderstorm in the sky. With a thought, his body flew lightly into the air and rushed into the thunderstorm. Then he raised his hand and pointed, and the thunderstorm in the sky immediately changed direction and blasted towards the direction of his finger.

The sky was filled with lightning that surrounded him, moving according to his will.

At this moment, he is the king of thunder!
Crack!

In the cabin, Cao Ze opened his eyes, silver-white lightning overflowed from his eye sockets, and a clear thunder sounded in the cabin.

The lightning quickly subsided.

Cao Ze raised his hand, and silently, a ball of lightning appeared in the palm of his hand.

With a thought, lightning instantly gathered into a palm-sized shield, followed by a small hammer, an axe, a long sword...

Cao Ze directly raised his thunder state of mind to the great perfection realm. Because Tianwei had already reached great perfection, raising his thunder state of mind at this time was undoubtedly the best choice to maximize combat effectiveness.

The thunder changed in his hands, and he only felt that his body seemed to be filled with a powerful force, as if he could smash mountains and rivers with one punch and flatten rivers with one foot.

There was a dazzling light flashing in his eyes when he opened them, as if it could see through all illusions and darkness!

"Ji Canghai, give me some points!"

Looking at the remaining points, Cao Ze was not stingy. He was probably about to face the Dragon Blood Grandmaster, so naturally he had to do whatever it takes to improve his combat effectiveness.

……

On the vast ocean, a huge migrating fleet is winding and moving slowly forward like a giant dragon.

The fleet is made up of countless ships of various types, some of them tall and mighty, some of them exquisite and delicate, but they are all arranged together in an orderly manner, like a huge scroll slowly unfolding on the sea, covering the originally sparkling sea surface.

The sunlight shone obliquely on the sea, casting a layer of golden glow on the outline of the fleet. The ships swayed gently with the waves, making a low and powerful sound, as if the pulse of the earth was beating.

The sails fluttering in the air and the colorful flags flying in the wind set off by the clouds in the sky, forming a magnificent picture.

In the face of this huge migrating fleet, the sea seems to become gentle and humble, silently carrying it all.

The people on the ship were busy with their own affairs, without any longing for the unknown world. Everyone was worried, as if something urgent was about to happen.

In the middle of the fleet, on a large, unremarkable ship, Bai Changxin looked at the sea behind him with a frown.

He did not spend too much time in the East China Sea. After searching in the East China Sea, he returned to Cape City and headed to Donghai County with his fleet.

"Zhen Ting, something is not right. Take the elite members of your family to Xuan Bao Pavilion!"

Bai Changxin withdrew his gaze. As a Dragon Blood Master, especially one with many years of experience like him, his intuition about crisis was very sharp.

He originally thought that after the Dragon God Temple occupied Cape City, they would fully prepare for the blood sacrifice, but he did not expect that the other party would pursue them relentlessly.

Xuanbao Pavilion is located in Donghai County, but it is still thousands of miles away from the county seat. Let Yue Zhenting and others take a few people to Xuanbao Pavilion. Their large force will attract the attention of the pursuers from Dragon God Temple. Only by cutting off the gecko's tail can there be a glimmer of hope.

"I won't go!"

Bai Yuanze stroked his beard and waved to Yue Zhenting, "I don't have many years left to live anyway, so I'm too lazy to run away."

Snapped!
Bai Changxin slapped Bai Yuanze on the head.

Seeing this, the core children of the four major families around them quickly lowered their heads. A white-haired old man was being taught a lesson like a child. The scene was very funny, but no one dared to laugh. No one could laugh in this situation.

"piss off!"

Bai Changxin had no good intentions towards Bai Yuanze, "I know you don't have many years left to live, so you should make good use of these years to help the four great families gain a firm foothold in Xuanbao Pavilion!"

"If I hadn't wanted to hold back the pursuers from the Dragon Temple, you would have wanted to die, you useless bastard."

Bai Changxin became angrier and angrier as he spoke, especially when he thought of the little guy in Cape City and then looked at his good-for-nothing grandson. It was really frustrating to compare oneself with others.

Bai Zeyuan kept silent. He didn't understand why his grandfather got angrier as he got older. Although he didn't like him much in the past, his attitude towards him has become worse and worse recently. He didn't provoke him either.

He did not dare to say much and honestly organized the evacuation of the core members of the four major families.

Of course he understood what Bai Changxin meant. Although he was only an old master, a master was still a master. The four major families were new to Xuanbao Pavilion, and it would be difficult for them to gain a foothold without a few masters to support them.

Even if he wants to die, he will wait until the four major families have established a firm foothold!

In the crowd, Feng Kuang followed the main force to the small fleet next to the fleet. Around him were the core elites of the four major families. Although their talents were much inferior to Cao Zeyue and Ling Ke, they were also the backbone of the next generation of the four major families.

Of course, there are also some direct blood relatives of the family’s top leaders.

For example, the granddaughter of the head of the Ye family, Ye Shuangling.

She was once a favored girl, but now she was in a rather miserable state. She had no talent for martial arts, and in this fleet that traveled at full speed day and night, even with special care, she still suffered a lot.

Originally, it was impossible for Feng Kuang to appear among this group of people with his identity, but everyone understood that this was because of that person!
So no one had any complaints about this incompatible candidate.

Only Ye Shuangling looked at Feng Kuang with a complicated look.

It’s not that she knew Feng Kuang, but she couldn’t imagine that the guy whom she didn’t even take seriously had grown into a towering tree in such a short period of time. Even someone who had some relationship with him could be treated so carefully by the four major families.

If he wants to settle the score with me, I don’t know if my grandfather can protect me?
Soon, the fleet was split into two like seaweed cut by a sharp blade, and flowed in two directions.

However, before the two fleets completely separated, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard from behind.

"Want to escape?"

"late!"

Wild laughter came from behind and spread throughout the entire sea, causing the fleet that covered the sky and the sun to stop for a moment.

As soon as the voice came, two figures appeared above the fleet!
