He was now 60 years away from breaking through to Level 4 of the Profound Realm in his Martial Arts Evolution.
The Spiritual Master Evolution went another step further and broke through to Level 5 of the Earth Realm. He was still 330 years away from Level 6 of the Earth Realm.
Dragon Soul: Contains the essence of the Dragon Tribe and can strengthen the physical body.
He absorbed the dragon soul.
Countless beams of golden light radiated, and spread outwards rapidly from Xiao Ran’s body to the surrounding area.
By the time the golden light dissipated, the dragon soul had already been absorbed.
Now his physical body alone was comparable to a Level 10 Grand Master.
Moreover, there was no weakness in his body. His entire body was impregnable, and his strength and defense had increased by several times.
“The dragon soul is indeed good. Unfortunately, there’s only one portion.” Xiao Ran thought a little greedily.
He took out the Water Gauge Mystic Origin Fruit, a sky-blue fruit the size of a baby’s fist.
Blue light swirled around, soft and quiet. Rich water power emanated from it.
Introduction: A special fruit formed by a thousand years in the deep sea; Effect: Ignores water pressure.
“Good stuff.” Xiao Ran smiled in satisfaction.
He consumed it.
The soft power flowed through his body, as his body absorbed this power.
There seemed to be something extra in his body, but there was no change when compared to his previous state. Xiao Ran could not tell exactly what had changed.
However, he could sense that even at the bottom of the sea, the huge water pressure could not do anything to him.
When fighting underwater, there was no need to deliberately divert some purifying spiritual force to resist the water pressure.
He cast his eyes around.
His gaze landed on the two figures in the background who were rushing over. They were familiar faces to him.
They had met before in the temple.
However, he did not understand why they were coming here.
Looking at them in a playful mood, Xiao Ran greeted them, “What a coincidence.”
Qu Bo’an was stunned. He did not expect to see Xiao Ran here again.
However, he also reacted quickly with a hearty smile. “Yes! Quite a coincidence, indeed.”
As his Sword Intent soared into the sky and pierced through the world, a supreme might appeared between heaven and earth. Dense webs of sword threads swam, giving out a terrifying pressure that enveloped everything within a thousand feet radius.
Locking onto them at the center, the Sword Intent surrounded them.
As long as Xiao Ran made any slight movement, this overpowering Sword Intent would slash down.
“How impudent!” Luo Qiping retorted with a snort.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, Qu Bo’an’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly reminded him, “Stop…”
Before he could say “right there,” a thousand sword threads converged and slashed at Luo Qiping’s chest.
Pow!
Under this blow, he was blasted into the back of the shattered mountain and buried by a heap of rubble.
Qu Bo’an rushed over and whacked away the rubble with one clap of his palm. He then dragged Luo Qiping out from underneath.
At this moment,
he was half-dead and severely injured. There was a terrifying sword scar on his chest. Sword energy circulated and devoured his spirit energy, preventing him from healing.
“Phew!” Seeing that he was still alive, the anxious Qu Bo’an finally relaxed.
He took out a healing pill and fed it to him. Then, he quickly tapped his chest a few times to help stabilize his injuries.
He turned around and cupped his fists solemnly to thank Xiao Ran.
“Thank you for showing mercy,” Qu Bo’an said.
“Who are you? Why are you here?” Xiao Ran asked imperiously.

Qu Bo’an looked around at the terrifying Sword Intent surrounding him. The destructive sword threads spread out endlessly.
Although he had already guessed that Xiao Ran was a terrifying character, he was still shocked when he finally saw with his own eyes his powers.
With this Sword Intent alone, even if he used all his trump cards, he might not be able to escape.
Furthermore, Luo Qiping was severely injured.
Qu Bo’an smiled bitterly. Xiao Ran reminded him, “You’d better tell the truth.”
‘My surname is Qu and my name is Bo’an. His name is Luo Qiping. He is my brother.’
Seeing that Xiao Ran was waiting for him to continue, he continued.
“I believe you’ve already guessed from the battle at the dilapidated temple. Ice Giants only exist in the Great Zhou. To be honest, we’re not from the Great Xia. We are from the Great Zhou. These demons have come to kill us under the orders of others.”
Buzz!
The Sword Intent moved slightly and circulated madly. Its ability to cut through eternity erupted, ever ready to slash over at any moment.
Qu Bo’an hastily called a halt. “I’m not finished.”
“If there’s anything that displeases me, this Sword Intent will slash over.” Xiao Ran said without any expression.
“Have you ever heard of the Netherworld Dungeon?”
“Are you guys from Netherworld Dungeon?”
“Yes,” Qu Bo’an admitted reluctantly.
“Whether you believe it or not, I still must emphasize that our appearance in your country at this point is not because we have targeted you guys. Some time ago, the Yin Incubation Institute entered the capital city and tried to deceive Emperor Sheng Wen. For some reason, their plan was disrupted by somebody.”
He paused for a while before continuing.
“The reason for our arrival this time was to sabotage their plans in reality. But before we could do anything, they were eliminated.”
“Are you guys still planning to kidnap Xia Luoran?” Xiao Ran asked.
“Yes! But we won’t hurt her. We just want to stop Emperor Hui Wen’s plan. Once Xia Luoran falls into his hands and he uses her to create the Demon God Dark Runes, it will be a disaster for us and you.”
“How much do you know about the Demon God Dark Runes?”
“Not much, but refining it is very difficult. However, once it is successfully refined, no one can stop it,” Qu Bo’an said solemnly.
“Why have you shown up in this place?” Xiao Ran asked again.
“After leaving the dilapidated temple, we wanted to go back, but we accidentally learned that a direct descendant of the North Sea Dragon Tribe had appeared here. Our target was him, and we planned to capture him.”
He looked very bitter. There was no way to resolve this stalemate if he did not offer big sacrifices.
He took out a jade strip and tossed it over.
“This is the refinement method for the ‘Demon God Dark Runes’ that we obtained, but it’s incomplete. We have tried to complete the missing parts. I don’t know if it’s correct, but we were planning to use him to test it out.”
Xiao Ran caught it and examined it closely.
According to the notations on the jade strip, to refine the Demon God Dark Runes, one needed pure dragon blood, the bloodline of the demon ‘Desolate’, and some other precious treasures.
Each of the items was extremely heaven-defying, but they did not need Xia Luoran’s bloodline.
The item was real. He put the jade strip away.
“Your Netherworld Dungeon is filled with talents. You can even piece together something like this to completion,” Xiao Ran said with a meaningful look.
Qu Bo’an shook his head wearily. “Where there are people, there will be power struggles. The Netherworld Dungeon is not an impenetrable fortress. Otherwise, our whereabouts this time would not have been leaked.”
“In the battle at the dilapidated temple, you destroyed two of our Night Illumination Dragon Horses. How do you plan to resolve this matter?”
Qu Bo’an was at a loss for words.
The surrounding Sword Intent spun again and locked onto the two of them.

When the odds were stacked against him, he had no choice but to eat humble pie.
He took out an egg. It was less than 2 feet tall and blue in color. Thick demonic power swirled around it as he reluctantly tossed the egg over.
“This is the egg of the demon Fiery Dance Divine Unicorn. If you nurture it well, there’s a certain chance of it reverting to its original form, turning into the ancient Unicorn bloodline and mastering the Divine Fire of Creation. The demon aura inside has already been expelled, so you can carry it with you without worries,” Qu Bo’an explained in detail.
Xiao Ran caught it and carefully sized it up. He nodded in satisfaction and put the egg into his Seven Treasures Rainbow Jade Belt.
“After all the days you spent in the Great Xia, aren’t you going to pay for the road toll before you leave?”
