Chapter Thirty-Five: The Hand of Heaven

  "Amethyst Golden Dragon God, Amethyst Golden Dragon God, I'm about to collapse, do you have any ultimate moves?"

  The wings of wind and thunder unfolded behind Ye Lin, releasing the most powerful energy. Even a martial artist who had cultivated to the second layer of the Refining Realm couldn't keep up with him in terms of speed.

  However, it's not that easy for Ye Lin to escape either. After all, there are twelve cultivators at the Refining Qi stage in Yunshui City, and they are all top-notch existences. Twelve people attacking together, how could he possibly escape so easily?

  "Kill him! Everyone, put in some effort. Apart from the knife on his back, he's just a bit faster. As long as we can kill him, these two treasures will be ours."

  After a while of fighting, everyone's bottom line was clear. Naturally, more than a dozen strong martial artists also understood Ye Lin's methods clearly.

  But most importantly, after such a long battle, the psychological pressure caused by Ye Lin's iron-blooded hands that had killed a strong warrior like Lian Qi was greatly alleviated in everyone's hearts.

  However, even so, Ye Lin's heart did not panic, but instead calmly responded with an unchanged expression. The Tai Chi Fist technique that had previously been used to divert water and irrigate fields was now being used to dodge and weave between the attacks of over a dozen Qi-refining stage warriors. In his heart, however, he was repeatedly summoning the Purple Golden Divine Dragon.

  According to the records of Shenlong 18 Changes, Shenlong 18 Changes is not only the ultimate physical cultivation method but also the mark of the dragon clan's ultimate attack method.

  Only, after Ye Lin opened the Magic Eye of the Dragon, he began to cultivate and made rapid progress in his cultivation. Finally, with the opportunity to obtain the Blood of the Dragon, he truly demonstrated its power, making his physical body ten or even dozens of times stronger than others at the same level. However, despite this, Ye Lin did not gain much divine marrow from his attacks. Although Ye Lin could use the eighteen forms of the Dragon's Claw against his enemies, its power was far inferior to the Thirty-six Knives of Heaven's Punishment.

  "In the ancient times, the Dragon Clan was renowned for its formidable attacking power among the ancient gods and demons. The eighteen transformations of the Dragon Clan contained the ultimate attacking technique, how could it possibly be inferior to the Thirty-six Knives of Heaven's Punishment?"

  Unbelievable, Ye Lin absolutely didn't believe that the divine dragon clan, which was renowned for its unparalleled attacking power among the ancient gods and demons, would be surpassed by the Heavenly Gaze Thirty-six Knives technique in terms of attack power. Even if it wasn't stronger, it was impossible for there to be such a huge difference. The only possibility now was that he hadn't yet mastered the attacking technique.

  "Yelin Xiaozi, you really are someone who is surrounded by treasures but doesn't recognize them!"

  Responding to Ye Lin's summons, the voice of the Zi Jin Long Shen came from the Purple Extreme Heaven Yang.

  "Since you've already obtained the Dragon's 18 Transformations, how could you possibly lack a powerful attack method?"

  As soon as he heard the voice of the Purple Golden Dragon God, Ye Lin's spirit shook and he hastily said: "But..."

  Ye Lin raised his own question and sincerely asked Zijin Longshen for advice.

  Ye Lin firmly believed that as long as he could obtain the Supreme Attack Manual of the Ancient Dragon Clan, in the future, among those of the same level, he would be invincible under the heavens.

  The strength or weakness of an attack comes from two aspects: one is the cultivation of oneself, and the stronger one's own cultivation is, the more powerful the attack will be when facing an enemy; the second is the method of attack, which martial artists call "martial skills" and cultivators call "magical abilities".

  Generally speaking, the cultivation of one's skills mainly depends on their boundary. The higher the boundary, the stronger the skills will naturally be. As for the strength or weakness of martial techniques and divine abilities, it all depends on two directions: one is the method of attack. Martial techniques are divided into eighteen levels, while divine abilities are divided into yellow, xuan, earth, heaven, king, emperor, and immortal.

  However, martial skills and divine abilities are not something that you can master just because you have obtained them. It's about comprehension. Generally speaking, below the Innate Realm, one can only wield martial skills. Even if you obtain divine abilities, they're useless because you can't even understand them, let alone comprehend their secrets.

  For example, Shenlong 18 changes, on the surface, it is a set of powerful eighteen martial arts, but it contains the ultimate attacking method.

  Naturally, these, the former Ye Lin, only got a little information, not even detailed, he only knew that Wuji was divided into eighteen grades, Post-Heaven Nine Grades, Pre-Heaven Nine Grades. With the ability of the Ye family, they could only attain Post-Heaven Nine Grades and did not see the methods of Pre-Heaven. Except for a set of Longxiang Panruo Gong that was fundamentally impossible to cultivate.

  But this time, Ye Lin learned such a secret from the mouth of the ancient purple gold dragon god.

  Although many words were spoken, the exchange of ideas was brief, with only two or three ideas exchanged, and everything was clearly understood.

  "What kind of powerful divine ability is hidden in the eighteen transformations of Shenlong?"

  In the past, Ye Lin only knew that above the 18th rank of martial skills, there was still a supreme martial skill. However, he didn't know that above the 18th rank, it was no longer considered a martial skill, but rather something referred to as "divine ability".

  At this point, Ye Lin became so excited that he couldn't help himself, and before he knew it, he had already mastered several powerful divine abilities.

  Tianxia 36 Knife Method, Po Feng Knife Method, Tianpeng Nine Changes, Shenlong Eighteen Changes and other powerful divine arts, each containing the supreme power of the universe.

  Thinking back to this, Ye Lin couldn't help but sigh in emotion. If it weren't for possessing such a powerful divine ability, how could he have possibly cultivated his body to the fifth heaven of Inverse Blade and second heaven of Cultivated Vigor?

  However, without using the Heaven-Slaying Sword, Ye Lin would have to control an even more powerful divine ability in order to slay the Twelve Great Heavenly Dragon Guards. Because, even if he now uses the Godly Dragon Eighteen Changes, this extremely powerful martial skill of the First-Order Innate Nine Ranks, to its extreme limits, it still wouldn't be able to harm any of the Cultivation Period warriors.

  "The eighteen transformations of the Dragon God are the creation of the supreme ancestor of the Dragon Clan, and not only a powerful physical cultivation technique, but also contain the divine abilities of the Dragon God - the Hand of Heaven."

  "Heaven's Hand?"

  Ye Lin was shocked, what kind of powerful existence could create such a heaven-defying divine ability?!

  Heaven, legend has it that Heaven controls everything, and becoming an immortal requires undergoing Heaven's baptism; otherwise, one can never become an immortal.

  Even if it were the gods, in front of the heavens, they would tremble and dare not defy.

  The universe and all living things are under the divine power of the heavens, and all creatures are grateful for the blessings of the heavens.

  Now, the Purple Golden Dragon God unexpectedly told himself that among the eighteen transformations of the Divine Dragon, there was actually a kind of omnipotent divine ability called "Heavenly Hand", how could Ye Lin not be shocked?

  "Yes, the hand of heaven, in ancient times, before the creation of the world, there were ten tribes. The Divine Elephant tribe was the strongest, the Heavenly Peng tribe was the fastest, the Divine Tree tribe was the most vibrant, the Heavenly Wolf tribe was the most ferocious, and how could the Divine Dragon tribe be revered by all if it didn't have powerful means?"

  Mentioning the ancient times, the Purple Gold Dragon God was stirred up. In the ancient times, the pre-heavenly myriad clans, the dragon clan was the most revered among all clans, dominating the world. As a member of the dragon clan, he naturally felt proud.

  It was Ye Lin who, after hearing these words, also felt a surge of excitement in his heart: "Could it be that the reason why the Shen Long clan is revered by all tribes is because of the hand of Tian?"

  "Not bad, the Heavenly Hand is a bloodline inheritance of the Dragon Clan, with unparalleled divine powers. Among the Dragon Clan, there are millions of divine powers, with immense power, but the most fundamental one is this Heavenly Hand."

  However, to wield the Heavenly Hand, one must have a strong physical body. The Dragon's 18 Transformations, the physical body undergoes 18 evolutions. Each evolution, the Heavenly Hand also evolves once. After reaching the 18th transformation, the Heavenly Hand suppresses, just like the true Heavenly Cover!

  Upon hearing this, Ye Lin's heart was also stirred with excitement. This time in Shen Long Valley, apart from the Zi Fu Xian Jing and the Ye family clan, the greatest gain was that his physical body had undergone a transformation under the baptism of the massive amount of Shen Long blood, and he had already reached the first stage of Blood Transformation, breaking through to the orange realm. Moreover, he had also obtained three drops of genuine Shen Long blood. As long as he could refine these three drops of genuine Shen Long blood, Ye Lin believed that his First Transformation would definitely break through smoothly.

  "Take out the Dragon's Blood, I'll help you refine it!"

  Three drops of divine dragon blood, although not many, are enough to make Ye Lin's divine dragon undergo its first transformation. As long as the bloodline reaches the realm of purple blood, the divine dragon's first transformation can be considered truly complete.

  "As long as your blood vessels expand and grow, you will be able to truly comprehend the first move of Heaven's Hand."

  The purple-gold dragon god stared at Ye Lin and said so.

  Cultivating a realm of one layer of heaven and earth, the dragon is still in its early stages of transformation and can't be compared to the truly ancient dragons. However, its strength is equally boundless. Its three drops of essence blood are enough to support Ye Lin's bloodline transforming into purple-colored blood.

  "Good!"

  As long as he refined the three drops of Dragon's Blood, Ye Lin believed that even if he couldn't comprehend the Heavenly Hand, he would have enough power to unleash the first slash of Tian Gao.

  Since the decision had been made, Ye Lin naturally felt relieved. With the help of Feng Lei's wings, he exerted his full strength to perform Tian Peng's first transformation. At the same time, he took out a porcelain bottle containing three drops of Shen Long's blood from the spatial ring.

  "He's in trouble, he tested positive for banned substances."

  Everyone is a traveler in the Jianghu, and for some special means, everyone needs to understand some of them. The banned drug is a special means that can greatly increase one's strength in a short period of time, but at the same time, taking banned drugs comes with a huge price, and some banned drugs consume life force. Once taken, your life may be gone.

  However, there is no doubt that the effect of doping is extremely large.

  As soon as Ye Lin was about to take the banned drug, everyone's face changed drastically. Even Shangguan Wan'er, who had been watching from the side, also changed her expression, shocked and furious beyond control.

  "Brother Lin, don't!"

  However, the medicine Ye Lin took was not a banned substance, but the real Dragon's Blood. After taking it, not only would it not harm him, but it could also double his strength.

  Ye Lin didn't care about the other actions, only dodging the attacks of the Twelve Great Dragon Guards with all his might, while swallowing all three drops of Divine Dragon Blood into his abdomen.

  Bang!!!

  The Dragon Blood had just fallen into his abdomen when a majestic aura burst out from Ye Lin's body.
