Divine God Against The Heavens Chapter 5 Ch 5: Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon

Once he began channeling the Spirit Energy from heaven and earth while forming the hand seal as per the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique, a faint silhouette of a dragon emerged within his sea of consciousness.

This sight instantly filled him with excitement.

"What sort of dragon will emerge from practicing the first layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique?"

"Ah! Never mind, I hope it's an incredibly mighty dragon that can boost my power even further. Oh, and there are the dragon's abilities too. What powers will I gain from it?!"

After pondering briefly, he settled his mind again and resumed shaping the dragon following the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.

With the passage of time, the ethereal dragon grew increasingly solid. It first developed its tail, then its belly, followed by wings and claws, and as the dragon's head gradually took form, innumerable scales appeared across its entire frame.

After an unknown span of time elapsed, the illusory dragon at last condensed into a tangible entity.

Ye Xiao diligently practiced the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique, completely oblivious to everything happening around him.

_Silver Moon Sect_

"What?"

"Master, is it true that the top sects in our Azure Dragon Country's Imperial City are holding a tournament where the top ten can pick the sect they wish to join?!"

Zhou Yan inquired of the elderly man seated on an opulent chair before him, who was leisurely drinking tea.

He was Ma Yafei, the Grand Elder of the Silver Moon Sect.

"Indeed, the event kicks off in one month. We must arrive at least two days early to handle registration, since it closes twenty-four hours prior to the start."

"Make sure to shine in the tournament and catch the attention of the organizers or any sect representatives there. The top hundred will join the five major sects of the Imperial City, while the top ten get to select their preferred sect."

The Grand Elder grew increasingly thrilled while sharing details of the tournament with his personal disciple, Zhou Yan.

"Yes, Master, I'll surely secure a spot in the top ten. Oh, and Master, one more question: when do we set off for the Imperial City?"

"Hmm, roughly half a month from now, we'll leave our sect aboard a flying magical beast alongside nine other elite disciples from the Silver Moon Sect. The journey takes around ten days, so we'll arrive five days ahead of the tournament."

Grand Elder Ma Yafei remarked this as he sipped his tea.

"Yes, Master, I got it." Zhou Yan replied, clasping his hands respectfully before his master, the Grand Elder of the Silver Moon Sect.

"Hmm, off you go now. Concentrate on cultivation and aim to break through to the Qi Condensation Realm within these ten days. Here's a Barrier Breaking Pill—I'll assist you every way I can during this period."

The Grand Elder spoke and tossed a pill bottle to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan snatched the pill bottle with glee, bowed deeply to the Grand Elder, and departed.

On the first floor of the Nine Story Pagoda...

Ye Xiao channeled the Spirit Energy, crafting hand seals in line with the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.

"Roar"

A mighty dragon's roar abruptly echoed across Ye Xiao's entire sea of consciousness.

"Is this the appearance of a real dragon?" Ye Xiao, who had labored intensely to manifest his initial dragon, peered into his sea of consciousness and beheld a legendary divine beast—a genuine dragon soaring proudly through it with wings outstretched.

The dragon's form was jet-black, adorned with stunning golden patterns etched into its dark scales. It exuded the majestic aura befitting a fabled true dragon.

All at once, the dragon spotted Ye Xiao and flew straight toward him, landing right before him. In Ye Xiao's vision, it was as if a deity had descended upon him.

From its massive golden eyes, the dragon gazed into Ye Xiao's, and abruptly, a beam of light burst forth, piercing the center of Ye Xiao's forehead.

Ye Xiao let out a groan of agony as fresh streams of knowledge flooded into his mind once more.

"Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, devours the heavens and earth to fuel its own power!"

The Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon lived up to its name as a divine dragon of legend. Capable of consuming all things without exception, nothing between heaven and earth escaped what it could devour—not even the heavens and earth themselves, though certain requirements applied.

Though it possessed numerous abilities, Ye Xiao could access only two from the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon.

Firstly, the Devouring ability. With Ye Xiao's power still so feeble, he's restricted to absorbing only certain items, yet it comes with a major perk: after slaying a foe, he absorbs thirty percent of that individual's Spirit Energy, as long as he kills first and devours afterward.

Secondly, a pair of dragon wings can sprout from his back, which he can then claim as his personal asset.

These wings allow him to take flight and strike at enemies.

Flight is typically exclusive to Martial Emperor Realm masters, but Ye Xiao now soars freely thanks to the wings of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon.

Thrilled beyond measure, Ye Xiao reveled in gaining these two incredible powers. Upon eliminating someone, he could claim thirty percent of their spirit energy, naturally sparing the innocent. Plus, by activating the first layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique, he gains the power to devour any spirit energy source across the world.
