Chapter 333: Dragon Emperor Const.i.tution, Golden Body Seventh Refinement stage
Even as all the North Sea races were being deeply affected by Shen Tian, he remained extremely calm.
After ingesting the peerless Enlightenment tea leaf, Shen Tian’s physical body once again underwent mysterious changes.
As Ye Qingcang had mentioned, he seemed to have awakened a special Connate Const.i.tution.
This kind of const.i.tution had a powerful ability to understand all sorts of Daos from across the world.
Even amongst the various elite const.i.tutions in the Celestial World, the Connate Const.i.tution belonged in the top rungs. It could suppress an entire generation.
And this was not the first time that Shen Tian had awakened a special const.i.tution. Previously, he had consumed the Sword Heart Fruit and awakened the Divine Sword Const.i.tution.
As Ye Qingcang had mentioned, “This kid is truly something else!”
Of course, it was a good thing to be able to awaken the Connate Const.i.tution. It was such a powerful tool.
Shen Tian went through all the techniques he had learned after awakening his Connate Const.i.tution. He realized that his understanding of those techniques had deepened.
It was like his entire brain was so enlightened that he could grasp the key profound concepts of any technique.
He had an intelligence that enabled him to know anything with just a mere glance!
But now, Shen Tian was feeling a little exasperated. He felt that the rest of those normal Enlightenment tea leaves he had collected were not that useful for him anymore.
Why?
The reason was simple. Let us use homework as an a.n.a.logy.
Before this, Shen Tian was an elementary school kid trying to understand middle school homework. And the normal Enlightenment tea leaves were like a middle-school teacher.
But after consuming the peerless Enlightenment tea leaf and awakening his Connate Const.i.tution, Shen Tian’s level of understanding was now akin to that of a university professor.
It was just too easy for him to understand those techniques now. There was no challenge at all!
It was pointless for him to consume the rest of the Enlightenment tea leaves now.
Sigh... It’s not always a good thing to be too talented.
...
Shen Tian slowly stood up and took out the reddish-gold peerless Dragon Source Fruit.
This peerless fruit’s value was comparable to that of the peerless Enlightenment tea leaf. After all, it came from the same place.
And to the Dragon race, this peerless fruit’s value was beyond all comparison.
The Dragon race would probably be willing to give up half their treasure horde in exchange for that peerless fruit.
Even a fool knew that just by consuming that peerless fruit, the Black Dragon race would be able to produce a true, indomitable pract.i.tioner.
By then, even the Southern Border Immortal Phoenix Queen would not be able to suppress the Dragon race anymore.
The Dragon race would flourish again and become one of the world’s top powers!
It was a pity that this peerless fruit was also useful to Shen Tian.
Ever since Shen Tian had started practicing the Tinder Sutra, his physical body had started acting very strangely. It would have strong, pa.s.sionate desires for extraordinary items.
Even a normal Dragon Source Fruit and normal Enlightenment tea leaf would trigger such desires in Shen Tian.
And the two supreme-level peerless leaf and fruit ignited an even stronger and more intense yearning in him.
This meant that the peerless leaf and fruit were very useful to Shen Tian.
And the reality was just as Shen Tian expected. He successfully awakened his Connate Const.i.tution after ingesting the peerless tea leaf.
Shen Tian was very curious about what would happen after he swallowed that peerless fruit!
“The other 30-plus superior-grade Dragon Source Fruits should be enough for Sister Bing and the rest. I will help myself to this peerless fruit then!”
Shen Tian was no virtuous, holy saint. He could not possibly just give away his own fruit.
While staring at the fruit, which looked like just a tiny sun, he carefully started to peel it.
Suddenly, boundless energy swirled around the fruit as dragon roars echoed through the air. Even s.p.a.ce itself seemed to have frozen.
Roar!
The Dragon Source Fruit’s flesh was slowly revealed. It looked a bit like lychee, but its flesh was more transparent.
This peerless fruit was not that small. Even after having its skin peeled off, it was still about the size of a football.
And in the center of that transparent flesh was a reddish-gold seed shaped like a dragon.
One could even see its dragon’s mane and every single scale clearly.
...
“That peerless leaf and this peerless fruit must have been the top legacies of those two divine trees.”
Ye Qingcang’s eyes shone. A green bean-sized seed suddenly appeared in his hand. “If you plant them somewhere with adequate Spirit Qi, they might grow into a new Tree of Enlightenment and Dragon Source Tree.”
The corners of Shen Tian’s mouth twitched. “So, where did you get that seed from?”
Ye Qingcang looked a bit uncomfortable. “Ahem. One of the leaves from the Tree of Enlightenment had a ‘tea seed’.
“You are such an ignorant person that you didn’t even realize that someone secretly took a leaf that had a tea seed. I... I am the only one who will point this out to you.
“If it was someone else, you would have suffered a great loss.”
Shen Tian, “???”
He just felt that something was not quite right.
Are you sure you purposely pointed this out to me, and you didn’t just accidentally blurt it out?
And this fellow had secretly stolen that tea seed like it was second nature to him.
How many such questionable acts did he commit in the Celestial World?
It makes sense now why the G.o.d of War Palace was mobbed!
Ye Qingcang looked very reluctant as he handed the tea seed back to Shen Tian.
No choice. He was now just an after-shadow, a divine consciousness embedded in the G.o.d of War Token.
Even if he had the tea seed, it would be useless to him. He had taken it earlier purely out of habit.
After keeping the tea seed, Shen Tian started to pull apart the flesh of the peerless Dragon Source Fruit.
“Old Man Ye, anything I need to take note of when eating this peerless Dragon Source Fruit?”
Ye Qingcang rolled his eyes.
“It should be no problem for you at all. You have such a crazy const.i.tution that you can just swallow it directly.”
Who has heard of someone awakening his Connate Const.i.tution just by eating a single Enlightenment tea leaf? I want to see what kind of impressive const.i.tution you can awaken after eating this peerless Dragon Source Fruit!
...
This old fellow looked very grumpy after having his tea seed confiscated.
Shen Tian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He started to consume the peerless Dragon Source Fruit.
It must be said that it did taste pretty good. Its texture was like lychee, with a hint of apple fragrance.
Smooth but not too sweet, juicy and tender.
Delicious!
More importantly, after swallowing that peerless fruit into his belly, Shen Tian could clearly feel a surge of boundless, surging energy.
Compared to the peerless Enlightenment tea leaf, which enhanced his mental powers, this peerless Dragon Source Fruit seemed to target his physical body.
Using the Dragon Source’s power, this fruit mainly enhanced Shen Tian’s physical body’s strength.
Crack!
The crisp sounds of bones being refined rang out from Shen Tian’s body.
He closed his eyes as he felt the changes taking place inside his body, which erupted in a blaze of dazzling golden light beneath his Longyuan Divine Armor.
Yes, Shen Tian’s Golden Body was rapidly refining and strengthening.
Golden Body Fourth Refinement Stage...
Golden Body Fifth Refinement Stage...
Golden Body Sixth Refinement Stage...
Time flowed on, and Shen Tian’s physical body became increasingly stronger. He felt like he could smash a superior-grade Spirit artifact with just one punch.
Of course, it was only a feeling. He could not really bear to do so. After all, a superior-grade Spirit artifact was also quite expensive.
His stronger physical body was just one aspect. Shen Tian also felt other significant changes resulting from the Dragon Source power.
Shen Tian’s physical foundation had always been the Dragon Source power.
It was a power derived from Ao Bing, from the Dragon G.o.d contract they had signed.
With this power, Shen Tian’s true abilities would only be displayed when he was executing the ancient dragon techniques.
Even so, his Dragon Source powers were not comparable to Ao Bing’s. After all, he was not a real dragon.
However, after swallowing the Dragon Source Fruit, Shen Tian could feel the Dragon Source power inside his body expand by several hundred times.
It was like every single cell inside him had morphed into a mini dragon, surging through his body, especially his spinal column, which was emitting the sounds of a dragon’s roar.
It was like a peerless dragon emperor had been awakened in his body.
...
Shen Tian suddenly opened his eyes.
He leaped into the air and flew up into the clouds.
He spun around and morphed into a dazzling five-clawed golden dragon.
Roar!
The dragon’s roar held an earth-shattering and soul-s.n.a.t.c.hing aura. It spread thousands of miles across the ocean.
The fabrics of s.p.a.ce cracked, and ma.s.sive tsunami waves reared up from the sea as if hit by an underwater earthquake.
But the waves didn’t surge forth. They were fixed to the spot.
Yes, completely fixed to a spot.
Under that all-encompa.s.sing dragon might, even s.p.a.ce itself had frozen over.
With Shen Tian as the center, everything across a radius of several dozen miles had come to a standstill. One could even see the cracks in the fabrics of s.p.a.ce clearly.
Like the forced solidification of cracked gla.s.s, it looked exceptionally eye-catching.
Roar!
A second dragon’s roar echoed through the skies, shattering the stillness.
The ma.s.sive tsunami wave dispersed into uncountable droplets of water, sparkling under the sunlight.
A rainbow appeared on the island, looking especially dazzling.
Ye Qingcang’s image slowly appeared as he observed the howling winds and rains. The corners of his lips twitched uncontrollably.
“The royalty of the Dragon race. The True Body of a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon? A human actually managed to cultivate it. How did a human manage to awaken the Dragon Emperor Const.i.tution?
“If those old fogeys in the Celestial World knew of this, they would be tearing out their own beards!”
Although he was grumbling on the inside, Ye Qingcang was actually very happy for Shen Tian.
After all, the Dragon Emperor Const.i.tution was definitely one of the top const.i.tutions, even in the Celestial World.
From some angles, it was on par with the Connate Const.i.tution.
The Connate Const.i.tution enhanced one’s mental prowess and the ability to understand all Daos.
Meanwhile, the Dragon Emperor Const.i.tution enhanced one’s physical body. It was one of the best const.i.tutions for refining a G.o.dfiend body.
A Dragon able to practice the True Dragon Body Tempering Art with the Dragon Emperor Const.i.tution—there was no limit to what they could do. They would definitely be one of the most powerful prodigies!
...
“This kid is just too incredible.
“Haha, I look forward to the time in the future when he invades the Celestial World. How exciting it would be to see the expressions on the faces of my old friends,” the purple-clad Ye Qingcang muttered to himself as the breeze blew gently across his face.
On the other side, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon gradually descended after roaring.
Shen Tian appeared in front of Ye Qingcang again, garbed in his Longyuan Divine Armor.
But his body was now even taller and more upright than before. He exuded a dashing and mighty aura, looking very much like a young hero.
Ye Qingcang smiled. “How does it feel?”
Shen Tian smiled confidently. “I have already successfully ascended to the Golden Body Seventh Refinement realm. My powers have increased considerably. If all goes well, I should be able to defeat 10 normal Heavenly Venerables!”
...
Shen Tian was suddenly startled.
His Saint Token was vibrating and flashing.
Mmm? Master is calling me?
