Dragon Martial Sword Supreme

"Middle Stage King-level?"

The King-level skeleton waiting outside Lanruo Temple was shocked to see Zhao Letian return, unable to contain his surprise.

He could not believe that Zhao Letian, who just a month ago was only at the seventh layer of Sect Martial, had now directly advanced to the Middle Stage King-level!

Such a terrifying speed of cultivation, if word of it got out, would certainly cause a huge uproar in the outside world!

However, those matters were not for him to consider.

Now he was merely Zhao Letian's servant, and he only needed to take care of himself.

After that, as long as Zhao Letian collected the relic and broke the constraints, he would be able to see the light of day once more.

"According to the heritage memories of the Dragon Clan, relics contain the formidable power of Buddha, which can convert special beings such as zombie puppets, helping them unlock Spiritual Wisdom; it is greatly beneficial to their cultivation. Why not leave this relic to the Corpse Ape!"

As Zhao Letian walked into Lanruo Temple and looked at the relic in front of the old monk, he thought to himself.

Then, he reached out and firmly grasped the relic!

"Boom!"

Who knew that the relic would suddenly erupt with a terrifying force, attempting to directly repel Zhao Letian's hand!

"Master, there's no need to resist. The ghosts you couldn't convert, I've already dealt with them for you. Continuing to keep this relic here is just a waste. Better to let me have it!"

Nine layers of fine black Dragon Scales appeared on Zhao Letian's palm. With a horrifying absolute power, he forcefully suppressed the power bursting from the relic. Instead of retreating he advanced, securing the relic firmly in his palm and calmly smiled, speaking indifferently.

Perhaps the old monk's obsession really heard Zhao Letian's words.

Or perhaps, the power Zhao Letian now possessed was simply too formidable.

After he grabbed the relic, it immediately calmed down!

"I'm giving this to you, swallow it, and refine it!"

Having subdued the relic, Zhao Letian directly tossed it to the Corpse Ape.

"Roar!"

The Corpse Ape's eyes sparkled with excitement, emitting an eager roar, seemingly very desirous of the relic, and gulped it down in one bite!

"Boom!"

After consuming the relic, the aura of the Corpse Ape immediately surged, and in just a short moment, it directly broke through to the Middle Stage King-level!

And it continued climbing upward!

"Master!"

Just then, a shadow suddenly rushed in.

"Oh? Is that you?"

Zhao Letian turned to look and saw that it was a figure in a black robe that had entered.

Without even thinking, he knew that this black-robed ghostly figure was none other than that very King-level skeleton, transformed.

After all, apart from Zhao Letian and his three Spiritual Beasts, there was only the King-level skeleton left in this place; all other ghosts had been annihilated by Zhao Letian and his company.

"Master, the constraints have been lifted. I no longer need to maintain the appearance of that King-level skeleton. This form should be a bit more pleasing to the eye, right?"

The black-robed ghostly figure spoke.

"Hmm, this form does look a bit more pleasant to the eye. However, you are ultimately just a ghost and greatly fear the power of the utmost yang and firmness. We must find you a body!"

Zhao Letian nodded.

"Master, isn't there already one ready for the taking right here?"

The black-robed ghostly figure looked towards the corpse of the old monk and said.

"Oh? You want the body of this old monk?"

Zhao Letian smiled slightly.

"Yes, Master! In life, this person was a powerful Monarch Level Expert. If I can occupy his body, my power will surely increase greatly, and I can even quickly advance to Monarch level!"

The black-robed ghostly figure stated.

"Hmm, good insight. Actually, even without your saying, I was already planning on giving you this old monk's body. Go ahead!"

Zhao Letian nodded.

"Many thanks, Master!"

The robed ghostly figure spoke, then transformed into a streak of light and entered into the old monk's body.

"Boom!"

Instantly, the lifeless body of the old monk burst forth with a powerful aura and vigorous life force, suddenly opening his eyes!

"Greetings, Master!"

The old monk stood up and bowed deeply to Zhao Letian.

"Alright, what's your name? You should have one, right?"

Zhao Letian asked.

"Master, I am merely a being formed from gathered resentments and do not have a name!"

The old monk replied.

"How about this, since you're occupying the body of this master, let's pick a Buddhist name for you. From now on, you'll be called Xuan Kong!"

Zhao Letian suggested after some thought.

"Good, Xuan Kong thanks the Master!"

Monk Xuan Kong immediately brought his hands together in a gesture of prayer, and at a first glance, truly bore the likeness of a high-ranking Buddhist monk.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the aura of the Corpse Ape suddenly soared tremendously!

"Eh? It broke through directly to High-level King-level? And it's undergoing a transformation!"

Zhao Letian turned his head and his eyes revealed a look of pleasant surprise.

At this sight, the Corpse Ape was radiating the terrifying aura of a High-level King-level!

Moreover, the originally green mane of the Corpse Ape had all turned into a golden mane, with strands of golden thunder and lightning coiling around its body, looking majestic and imposing, like the descent of the Thunder God!

Besides that, there was another very obvious change; the Corpse Ape emitted a powerful and pure Buddha Energy.

Even on its forehead, a clear golden Swastika Seal emerged, indicating a fearsome power!

Of course, the most important thing was that after devouring the power of the relic, the Corpse Ape's Spiritual Wisdom had grown greater. It was now indistinguishable from a regular Spiritual Beast and had finally become a real living being!

All in all, the current techniques and abilities of the Corpse Ape appeared to be even more formidable than before!

"Roar!"

After a while, the aura of the Corpse Ape finally stabilized!

And now, it impressively reached King-level Perfection and could break through to Monarch Level at any moment, making it a half-step Monarch Level Expert!

"Who would have thought that after all these years, the relic would still contain such potent power!"

Zhao Letian inwardly marveled.

"That's only natural; this old monk was just one step shy of breaking through to the Monarch Level back in the day, his power was truly terrifying!"

Monk Xuan Kong nodded in agreement.

"The Corpse Ape can no longer be called that—it's more like a Buddhist Vajra. From today onwards, you'll be known as the Thunder and Lightning Vajra!"

Zhao Letian looked at the golden Corpse Ape and said with a light smile.

"Roar!"

The Corpse Ape let out an excited roar, seemingly quite pleased with this name.

"Xuan Kong, do you know what this is?"

Afterward, Zhao Letian suddenly took out the Ghost King Stele, looked at Monk Xuan Kong, and asked.

Now, what he most wanted to understand was the secret of the Ghost King Stele!

Why he appeared in this place, and where his father-in-law and the Golden Flood Dragon had gone—these were questions he needed to clarify!
