These three demon souls were not ordinary demon souls, they were all Late Combat Soul demon souls, and they could provide Jiang Chen with an unimaginable boost in strength. Together with the lightning, if Jiang Chen were to completely absorb these three demon souls, he might be able to form another 1000 Dragon Marks. Once the Heavenly Tribulation ended, the number of Dragon Marks in Jiang Chen's body would reach 7000.
Since he had a strong foundation, he wasn't afraid that absorbing these demon souls would affect his foundation. Therefore, without hesitation, Jiang Chen absorbed all three demon souls.
The Dancing Sun City had fallen into a dead silence. No one was talking, and they were all staring at the ocean of lightning. All of them were longing to see the white-clothed youngster once again. They didn't know this white-clothed youngster, but he had saved their lives. Therefore, all of them hoped that this white-clothed youngster would be safe.
Furthermore, it was a great thing for the human race to have such a heaven-defying genius, as he would definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to the demon race in the future.
"Which family does this genius come from? How can he be so frightening? Why haven't I heard of him before?"
Shan Ying said with a shocked expression while pressing his chest.
"He saved all of us."
Wu Ningzhu said. For the first time, a gentle look could be seen in her eyes.
Another ten minutes passed, and the lightning finally disappeared. The white-clothed youngster once again appeared in front of everyone's eyes. He didn't look as battered as the crowd had imagined, instead, he seemed to be in high spirits, and he looked even better than he did after the second Heavenly Tribulation.
Good!
Seeing this, the people of the Dancing Sun City immediately burst into cheers. Even Wu Ningzhu had a smile on her face. The beautiful face underneath the veil was like a melting glacier, and a strange smile blossomed on her face.
Wu Ningzhu and Shan Ying immediately flew toward Jiang Chen. However, before they could say anything, Jiang Chen had already turned into a beam of white light and disappeared into the distance.
Ugh …
Wu Ningzhu and Shan Ying were startled. They never expected this youngster to have such a strange temperament. After doing such a big thing, he didn't even give them a chance to repay him, and just left like that.
"What a young man."
Shan Ying couldn't help but praise. However, he wasn't too surprised by the white-robed youth's departure. If the white-robed youth wanted to show himself, he wouldn't have used the golden light to cover his face. It was obvious that he didn't want anyone to know his identity.
"It's a pity that I can't get along with such a person. It would be great if the Profound River Palace could use him."
Shan Ying shook his head.
Wu Ningzhu furrowed her brows. She couldn't help but complain about that young man in white. With her beauty, which man wouldn't drool over her? Even in the Profound River Palace, there were countless geniuses trying to get close to her. However, when this young man in white saw her, he just turned around and walked away. What was the meaning of this? Am I not charming enough?
"Damned brat, how dare you ignore me!"
Under the veil, Wu Ningzhu pouted her lips. She didn't realize that the white-robed youth had occupied a very special place in her heart. That special place made Wu Ningzhu want to look at a man's face for the very first time. She really wanted to know what that face looked like when it was covered by the golden light.
"Sigh! The hero has left, and we didn't even have the chance to thank him! "
"That's right! I have no idea where this white-robed youth came from, but he just left after saving the Dancing Sun City without asking for anything in return!"
"He is a true hero! His heroic image will forever stay in my heart!"
… …
All the people of the Dancing Sun City were extremely grateful toward Jiang Chen. Some of them even bowed toward the direction where Jiang Chen had disappeared in a pious manner.
Not long after Jiang Chen left, four powerful figures arrived from afar. All of them had formidable cultivations, and their auras were no weaker than Shan Ying's. They were the Late Combat Soul warriors from the Profound River Palace.
When Jiang Chen triggered his Heavenly Tribulation and destroyed the defense mechanism that sealed the Dancing Sun City, the commotion had spread out. Everyone in the Profound River Palace knew that today was the day of the Wu family's ancestral worshipping ceremony, and when they sensed the aura of war, they immediately sent some mighty warriors to investigate.
When these few men saw the miserable state of the Dancing Sun City, their expressions instantly changed. They arrived next to Wu Ningzhu and Shan Ying, then an old man who led the group asked, "Ning 'er, what happened here?"
"Elder Liu, the Demon King Palace suddenly attacked the Dancing Sun City, and they sealed the entire city. Four guardians led a large number of demon beasts from the Demon King Palace, and they're going to slaughter the entire city."
Wu Ningzhu said.
"What? Four guardians?! "
An old man cried out in shock. When he heard about the four guardians, his expression immediately changed. As a power that was hostile to the Demon King Palace, the eight guardians of the Demon King Palace were their sworn enemies. Naturally, they knew how frightening these four guardians were.
"That's right. If it wasn't for that young man in white, the entire Dancing Sun City would have been slaughtered and turned into a city of death."
Shan Ying said.
"Young man in white?"
Elder Liu was startled.
"I have no idea where this genius came from. He destroyed the entire Demon Palace, and now he's facing his Heavenly Tribulation in the Dancing Sun City, killing three guardians of the Demon King Palace …"
Shan Ying dared not waste any time. He immediately told Elder Liu everything that had happened, including how Jiang Chen faced his Heavenly Tribulation, and how he used it to kill the three guardians.
"I can't believe someone is facing his Heavenly Tribulation at the Combat Soul realm! I've only heard about such a monstrous genius in the legends, and I never thought I'd see one in real life! Such a monstrous genius has appeared in the Southern Continent, and we, the Profound River Palace, didn't even know about it! We'll have to find out more about him! This man has severely damaged the Demon King Palace, and he has made a great contribution to the Profound River Palace!
If we find him, we'll definitely reward him well! If we can recruit him into the Profound River Palace, that would be even better! "
Elder Liu couldn't help sighing. If these words didn't come from Dan Ying and Wu Ningzhu, they wouldn't have believed it even if they were beaten to death.
"After today's calamity, it looks like we need to rebuild the city. Let's cancel the ancestral worshipping ceremony."
Wu Ningzhu shook her head and said.
"Hmph! Looks like we're going to have a fierce battle with the Demon King Palace. "
Shan Ying coldly harrumphed.
"The Demon King Palace has lost three great guardians, and that's a serious loss. I don't think they'll make any moves in a short period of time. However, we still need to prepare ourselves, and prepare for a war with the Demon King Palace. Ning 'er, both you and Elder Shan Ying are injured, you should go back and rest."
Elder Liu said. His words were filled with concern for Wu Ningzhu. As the Profound River Palace's Holy Maiden, Wu Ningzhu was the Profound River Palace's hope for the future. Therefore, these old men were naturally worried about her injuries.
"En."
Wu Ningzhu nodded her head. She couldn't help but throw another glance at the direction where Jiang Chen had disappeared.
Right now, Jiang Chen had already traveled more than a thousand miles away. He was standing on a cloud, and he was slowly flying toward the Nangong family. After coming to the Southern Continent, Jiang Chen had experienced such a huge transformation in such a short period of time, and this made Jiang Chen feel very satisfied.
Jiang Chen flipped his palm, then an azure flame that looked like a lotus started dancing on his fingertip. The flame was filled with a masculine aura, and crackling sounds of lightning could be heard coming from it, giving it a mystical feeling.
"The purest Lightning Flame between the Heavens and Earth, it's the true Heavenly Flame, and its level is even higher than the True Dragon Flame. I now possess both the True Dragon Flame and the Lightning Flame, and after fusing them together, it will become the strongest flame between the Heavens and Earth. There's nothing that it can't burn, and it's the nemesis of all evil beings."
A faint smile emerged on Jiang Chen's face. He had obtained this Lightning Flame when he was facing the Heavenly Tribulation, and it was his biggest gain. In the future, no matter if it was used in battles, pill concocting, or weapon crafting, it would bring him unimaginable benefits.
"After going through the Minor Three Tribulations, I've experienced an unprecedented transformation. I now have a total of 7,000 Dragon Marks in my body, and my cultivation base has completely stabilized at the Early Combat Soul realm. However, in order to break through to the Mid Combat Soul realm, I'll need 10,000 Dragon Marks, and I'm still short of 3,000 Dragon Marks. Looks like I'll have to work harder. Luckily, I have a strong foundation, and I'll be able to quickly break through in the future."
Jiang Chen thought to himself. Although he had obtained the approval of the Dragon Transformation skill and had full control over it, he still had to wait until he broke through to the next realm before he could find out what he needed to break through to the next realm.
For example, right after he broke through to the Early Combat Soul realm, he immediately found out how many Dragon Marks he needed to break through to the next realm. From the Early Combat Soul realm to the Mid Combat Soul realm, he would need 5,000 Dragon Marks.
"With 7,000 Dragon Marks, and having been tempered by the Heavenly Lightning, it'll be hard for me to find a worthy opponent in the Combat Soul realm. Only a true Combat King warrior will be able to suppress me."
Jiang Chen was extremely confident in himself. The further he cultivated the Dragon Transformation skill, the more monstrous it would be. He knew this since a long time ago.
"The Heavenly Tribulation caused a huge commotion, and I had to hide my identity. If not, it would be hard for me to have a peaceful life in the future."
Jiang Chen sighed. He recalled what happened in the Dancing Sun City, and how he had to hide his identity. If not, the Profound River Palace would definitely try their best to find him. After all, no one had ever attracted a Heavenly Tribulation when they were only at the Combat Soul realm.
The reason why Jiang Chen hid his identity was because he didn't want to attract too much attention in the Southern Continent. In the Southern Continent, he was just a passerby, and once he settled the issue with the Nangong family, he would return to the Eastern Continent. Therefore, he didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the Profound River Palace and the Demon King Palace. He just wanted to leave in a carefree and unrestrained manner.
As for the prettiest girl in the Southern Continent, Wu Ningzhu, Jiang Chen didn't want to have anything to do with her. However, just because he didn't want to, it didn't mean he wouldn't have anything to do with her in the future. Of course, that was for the future.
"There's not much time left. I need to return to the Nangong family and check on Brother Nan's progress."
