# Chapter 316: King Xuan Dragon Gate
"Right now, although there is no change in your profound force, under the influence of the Dragon God's Marrow and Dragon God's Soul, your body and soul have undergone a transcendence-like leap. It's just that after fully fusing with them, you yourself don't feel it very clearly. Moreover, with the Dragon God's Soul and Dragon God's Marrow, you can now more thoroughly release the power of the Dragon God bloodline within you. Your combat power is now several times what it was before... Furthermore, given your current soul strength, you can barely activate our Dragon God Clan's 'Dragon Soul Domain'!"
"Dragon Soul... Domain? You mean... a domain?" Yun Che asked in surprise. A domain — that was a powerful ability that could only be performed at the King Xuan realm. Xia Qingyue could use a domain because she had the Nine-Xuan Exquisite Body, while he was only at the Earth Xuan realm. Could he really use a domain that only a Throne could wield?
"That's correct. The Dragon Soul Domain is not an attack domain, nor a suppression, restraint, or defense domain. It is a domineering spiritual domain. You will understand its power when you activate it. However, although it is a spiritual domain, it still requires a portion of profound force to sustain. In your current state, both in terms of profound force and spirit, activating the Dragon Soul Domain is still somewhat forced. Unless absolutely necessary, I do not wish for you to activate it, because it could cause unpredictable damage to your soul... As you grow stronger, the Dragon Soul Domain will also become more powerful. Your path to becoming a strong one is still very, very long."
Yun Che silently sensed the power within the sea of his spirit, then nodded silently, his heart stirred with emotion.
"Very good. Although your soul is stained with blood and sin, it is as transparent as crystal. I believe I have not misjudged or chosen the wrong person... Among all the power inheritances I have left behind, this one is the latest to be inherited and also the last. The one who inherited my bloodline established the 'Dragon God Clan' in 'that place,' and over countless generations, it has grown stronger. But strength often breeds arrogance and greed. I wonder how the Dragon God Clan is faring now. As for the one who inherits the Dragon God's Marrow and Dragon God's Soul, you... are the only one. I hope you have not forgotten the promise you made to me."
Yun Che nodded and said sincerely, "Of course I haven't forgotten the promise I made last time. If one day I truly reach that place, I will do my utmost to find the sword you spoke of. And if I do find it, I will spare no effort to find a way to break the seal, so that your daughter can see the light of day again."
"Good... With this, my lingering soul, which has struggled for so many years, can finally depart in peace. Let me use my last strength to do... one last thing for you. If I am not mistaken, you should have a King Xuan Flame Dragon's dragon pill on you. Summon it, along with the Dragon Gate sword, from the Heavenly Poison Pearl."
Yun Che was startled, but did not ask further. He did as he was told and took out the Dragon Gate sword and that dragon pill that had been hidden in the Heavenly Poison Pearl — the most precious thing besides the Heavenly Poison Pearl and the Lunhui Jing.
The Azure Dragon's blue eyes above suddenly flashed. The Dragon Gate and the King Xuan Pill both floated up, suspended in the air. The voice of the Primordial Azure Dragon rang out: "This Dragon Gate sword was left behind a thousand years ago by a human who entered the Dragon God Trial and failed. Sealed within the sword's body is the soul of a young dragon. Over the millennium, because it existed in the Dragon God Trial grounds, it was nourished by my dragon breath and never faded. Since you happen to have a King Xuan dragon's pill, let us fulfill its destiny!"
In an instant, the King Xuan Dragon Pill burst into crimson-red flames — the true dragon flames of a real dragon, so scorching that the very air seemed ready to ignite. The Dragon Gate sword, guided by blue light, charged into the flames of the King Xuan Dragon Pill and was quickly engulfed. Then, the entire sword became a massive fireball, as if completely burning... If one could see through the flames, they would witness the burning dragon pill touching the Dragon Gate's enormous hilt, then slowly dispersing like liquid, until it completely attached and merged into the Dragon Gate.
Humm!
The flames in the air extinguished instantly. The King Xuan Dragon Pill disappeared, and the Dragon Gate sword fell down... At that moment, an indomitable, sun-scorching sword aura, several times heavier and stronger than before, descended, causing the surrounding space to fall into complete silence.
BANG!!!
The Dragon Gate landed steadily in Yun Che's hand. The ground beneath his feet instantly cracked, and the entire cave shook slightly. Yun Che gripped the Dragon Gate tightly, his arm stiff for a moment, and his eyes revealed shock and extreme excitement.
The Dragon Gate's appearance hadn't changed significantly, but its weight was far greater than before. The heavy sensation transmitted through his arm told Yun Che that the Dragon Gate now weighed at least twenty-eight thousand jin. Its momentum even made him, its master, feel suffocated.
He raised the Dragon Gate with both hands, holding it horizontally, and channeled his profound force into the blade. Immediately, at the dragon head on the tip of the sword, the eyes began to flicker with two glaring flames, like the fierce gaze of a living dragon. The complex dragon bone patterns on the blade twisted and squirmed slightly... Yun Che gripped the hilt with both hands but clearly felt a powerful soul — the soul of the Dragon Gate!
The immense weight made it difficult even for Yun Che, with his extraordinary arm strength, to fully control it. But he was more excited than anything else, because he had witnessed the birth of a King Xuan weapon... What he held in his hands was a King Xuan sword — the only one in the entire Cang Feng Empire, one that would shake the world!
One could imagine the terrifying destructive power such a sword would unleash with a single strike. Its invisible sword momentum would terrify countless warriors before they even fought.
WHOOSH!!
Yun Che swung the Dragon Gate suddenly. The sound of it cutting through the air was as heavy as a boulder pressing on the heart, accompanied by a clear, resonant dragon roar!
"A soul-bearing weapon is naturally difficult to control, but you now have the Dragon God's Soul, and its sword soul originates from a young dragon's soul. It will be completely subservient to you. Even though you are only at the Earth Xuan realm now, you can still fully wield it... Unfortunately, it seems you don't have time to immediately adapt to it, because your enemies will appear soon. And it is time for me to leave. Strive to grow stronger. Strive to live... You carry my final bloodline... and my final hope..."
"That terrible feeling... I hope... it is just an illusory illusion..."
............
The azure blue eyes faded, and the voice of the Primordial Azure Dragon fell completely silent at that moment. The Dragon God's breath, which had existed here for who knows how many years, also dissipated entirely... And its final words, seemingly muttered to itself, left Yun Che utterly confused.
"Terrible feeling? What does that mean?" Yun Che murmured. What could possibly make the powerful Dragon God feel "terrible"? After a brief contemplation, he shifted his gaze to outside the cave... The people who had been relentlessly chasing him were now less than a hundred zhang away... And there were seven of them — all present!
Yun Che sneered coldly, dragged the Dragon Gate, and walked out. With each step, he left a half-foot-deep footprint in the ground. After taking more than ten steps, he adjusted his stance and the weight of the Dragon Gate. By the time he fully emerged from the cave, there were no more footprints.
As soon as Yun Che came out of the cave, fiery shadows flickered around him. Seven figures descended from the sky, landing around him, completely encircling him. Seven powerful profound force auras locked onto him tightly.
For an Earth Xuan profound practitioner to be locked onto by a single Heaven Xuan master would cause their whole body to stiffen and breathing to become difficult. Yet Yun Che, locked onto by seven Heaven Xuan masters simultaneously, remained completely at ease. Not a trace of panic showed on his face — instead, he wore a faint smile, as if the seven people before him weren't there to take his life but to welcome him.
"Yun Che! No matter how cunning you are a thousand times over, you won't escape our grasp this time! Let's see where you run now!" Fen Moran grabbed his Heaven-Burning Blade and roared.
"Tsk," Yun Che curled his lips disdainfully. "Can't you mangy old dogs change your lines when we meet? Every time you say I can't escape, but unfortunately, I come and go as I please every time. You just follow behind like headless flies, eating dust. With your faces already swollen like pig snouts, aren't you afraid they'll swell up into butts?"
"Stop wasting words with him!" Seeing Yun Che, Fen Moli's pent-up rage flared up. "Take him down immediately! Yun Che, let's see how you run this time!"
"Young pup, die!"
Fen Moran was closest to Yun Che. With a loud roar, his body burst into flames, his Heaven-Burning Blade drawn as he slashed a "Burning Heaven Red Lotus" at Yun Che. Not just Fen Moli, but all of them — renowned figures of the world mobilized to kill a young man — had failed repeatedly and been toyed with. Everyone was filled with fury. Fen Moran's opening move was an extremely vicious strike, as if he couldn't wait to split Yun Che in half with one slash.
As Fen Moran closed in, Yun Che turned swiftly. But instead of swinging his sword to parry, he suddenly released his left hand from the hilt and grabbed directly at Fen Moran's Heaven-Burning Blade.
"Courting death!" Fen Moran flew into a rage. But immediately, his eyes were filled with shock.
CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK...
Yun Che's power erupted like a volcano. He caught Fen Moran's Heaven-Burning Blade with his bare hand. Amid a series of heart-wrenching sounds, the flaming Heaven-Burning Blade twisted... and twisted further. The flames on it extinguished completely in an instant, and the entire blade was twisted into a spiral.
"Wh... what!?" Fen Moran's eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.
As the Thirteenth Elder of the Fen Tian Gate, Fen Moran's blade was naturally no ordinary item. His Heaven-Burning Blade, named "Yan Ao," was a high-grade Earth Xuan weapon. When infused with his powerful profound force, it could shatter mountains, split the earth, and break through refined steel. Yet in Yun Che's hands, it was twisted into a spiral as if it were nothing — several times harder than simply breaking it in half.
And on Yun Che's hand, there was only a shallow, not even deep, blood mark.
After being tempered by the Dragon God's Marrow, Yun Che's bone structure had become tough to an extent that ordinary people couldn't comprehend. Even if Fen Moran slashed with all his strength, it would at most leave a shallow mark — no hope of cutting through.
"Your Fen Tian Gate really is stingy. A high-ranking elder using such a cheap blade that bends with a twist — it's utterly laughable... In your next life, remember to choose a better sect!"
With a smile on his face, Yun Che slammed the Dragon Gate sword heavily onto Fen Moran's chest.
BOOM!!!
The incomparably powerful force erupted like a mountain flood and tsunami. Amid the deafening sound, Fen Moran's body was instantly smashed into two pieces, flying away like two torn cloth sacks, without even a grunt of pain escaping his lips.
