Jean: Number one… Hmph, it can't be stronger than "Almighty". But why do you want me to find the sword?

Primordial Azure Dragon: Because… Because my daughter is sealed within the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword! Her body and her spirit are both sealed within that sword!

Jean: Your… Daughter?

Jasmine was shocked from what she heard, there was the Dragon God's daughter inside the 1st ranked Heavenly Profound Treasure?!

Primordial Azure Dragon: After the demise of the gods, the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword never appeared again. I wish for it to be found, yet am frightened that it may be found. Because if it is never found, my daughter will forever be sealed within that sword, suffering endless darkness and loneliness.

However, if that sword is found… If the person who obtains the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword is greedy and evil, after he unseals the sword, my daughter will become that person's tool... After all, my daughter has the pure lineage of the Dragon God!

Jean: Then the reason you want me to find the sword, is to…

Primordial Azure Dragon: I believe in your character. Even after everything you did, you are a trustworthy person. If that sword is in your hands, I believe that my daughter can be saved. Maybe one of your 30 powers could unseal her.

Jean: Well… Maybe "Knowledge" could help… I will do my best to be strong enough to freely search for your daughter, once I am at the Realms of the Gods.

Primordial Azure Dragon: Thank you for your promise. Your voice is genuinely sincere and your soul does not have the slightest of tremors. My clan of Dragon Gods had never owed favors to anyone. I will not let you do this without a reward…

This residual soul of mine is attached to some remaining Dragon God blood. Opening the secret trial realm and giving you Dragon God blood has cost me dearly. This residual soul can only last three more years at most. This is also my last remaining soul.

The residual souls that I left in other places have all dissipated after passing on their abilities. I want to leave everything else I have left to you, at the start your inherent strength was far too weak, but now, you can take them on. I will bequeath you the last of my 'Dragon God Marrow' and 'Dragon God Soul'!

Jean: Dragon God Marrow, and Dragon God Soul… Alright, I will take them and find your daughter once I am strong enough.

Primordial Azure Dragon: Haha, good… Good! Now I will grant them to you… Please close your eyes, and let go of all your mental and physical strength.

As the Primordial Azure Dragon's voice fell, a fist sized crystal that emitted a starlike radiance suddenly appeared above Jean. The crystal slowly descended, and floated in front of Jean's forehead.

Primordial Azure Dragon: The Dragon God's Marrow, can make your bones like fine steel, and your marrow like an impregnable fortress. The blood and strength you lose, will be endlessly and inexhaustibly recovered with an even faster speed.

The Great Way of the Buddha granted you the powerful strength, constitution, and physical recovery capability; even though the body's recovery capability that Dragon God's Marrow could grant you is far inferior than the Great Way of the Buddha, your strength recovery capability will far surpass that of ordinary beings!

Opponents evenly matched with you in strength, will be destined to not be your match.

The Dragon God's Soul, will refine your spirit and soul, giving you powerful mental strength far surpassing that of ordinary humans. Your soul, will also gain the attribute of the Dragon God from this!

The crystal that was like the night sky suddenly cracked open in front of Jean, and a wave of powerful, ethereal, and vast energy aura dispersed outwards. At that moment, Jean suddenly felt like he was within a boundless field of stars.

A ball of faintly discernible silhouette floated in front of him… That was precisely the Dragon God's Marrow and Dragon God's Soul from the Primordial Azure Dragon. The aura of power coming from them felt so close, as if they were right within the reach, yet it also felt so distant, like there was an entire universe between them.

It was a kind of ethereal feeling that Jean had never felt before. The plane that this power belonged to, was something that Jean fundamentally could not comprehend, yet…

This wave of power that held the Dragon God's Marrow and Dragon God's Soul slowly moved towards Jean. Wherever it passed, the space actually formed layers upon layers of ripples.

Just the naturally emitted aura could already instigate the distortion of space, so the strength, density and grade of the power hidden within was simply impossible to imagine.

Primordial Azure Dragon: I had wanted to grant you the Dragon God's Marrow first, then grant you the Dragon God's Soul after, and help you finish fusing with them as well. But seeing the you today, I have changed my mind.

I shall grant you the Dragon God's Marrow and Dragon God's Soul at the same time, and also won't help you finish the fusion process… Everything, will be you on your own! Let me see if you can complete the fusion of Dragon God's Marrow and Dragon God's Soul at the same time with your own strength and willpower!

If you could really do it, the benefits you will get would far surpass that of doing it with my help! Especially after you conquer and fuse with the Dragon God's Soul with your own strength; perhaps you would be able to open the 'Dragon Soul Domain' that our Dragon God race had frightened all living beings in the universe with!

Within the voice that was as heavy as the sea, the originally colorless energy suddenly flared out an azure colored radiance. Before Jean could even react, it had already suddenly turned into a flash of light and rushed toward the space between Jean's eyebrows…

Jean: F.u.c.k.i.n.g shit! This stings like a bitch!

A pain similar to being skewered by a blade assaulted him from the center of his brows, and all of the blue colored light instantly burrowed into his body.

Suddenly, a surge of energy so colossal that it was indescribable dispersed within Jean's body. He felt as though the inside of his body was stuffed with a boundless sky… In the next moment, his psyche quaked immensely, as if an ocean with undulating waves had suddenly flooded into his soul all at once.

However, Jean was still conscious and used "Compulsion" on himself, nerves came out from his body and re-entered it through his meridians and profound entrances. Going left and right to fix his body… He closed his eyes, and saw many scenes of the Primordial Azure Dragon at his prime, destroying planets and stars with a single roar…

Compulsion was still working on fixing his body, fitting the Dragon God Marrow where his previous marrow was, it was an extremely painful process, but Jean gritted his teeth and endured…

When he opened his eyes again, he was in the middle of the space, facing the Primordial Azure Dragon who was glaring at him, as if he was dust… Jean's entire body was frozen stiff as his soul stirred…

If he wanted to integrate the Dragon God's Soul, what he needed to conquer first, would be the quaking of his soul under the Dragon God's Soul's absolute suppression.

The sound of his frenzied heartbeat clearly traveled to his soul. The azure dragon's silhouette came closer and closer, and reflected a stretch of the most profound deep blue within Jean's pupils…

At times, Jean trembled, and at times, he stiffened. And right at this moment, his soul that was originally suppressed to complete silence, suddenly began to stir crazily, as if boiling water. A sound came out of Jean's mouth as a black substance covered him, before yellow eyes opened and glared at the dragon.

This was his consciousness, the only place where his power over the schrifts weren't restricted, however, only inside his consciousness they would work, if he wanted to use them somewhere else, he needed the watch.

Jean: You… You dare to present that blue ugly mug in front of my face… I am the Almighty one, remember it when I will steal everything from you!

A black substance shot out from Jean and attacked the dragon, one would expect that a dragon of the size of almost half universe would be unaffected from that black substance, and it was true, at Jean's current conditions, he could not do anything to the dragon, but…

...The dragon felt fear… The moment Jean released that strange substance, the dragon could see the karmic aura surrounding Jean like air, changing the future back and forth caused an extremely terrifying amount of karmic aura to attach on him.

Actually, Jasmine was right before, the heaven would punish someone for wielding that sort of power, it's just that instead of punishing Jean bit for bit, it is actually waiting to reach its peak, and then strike Jean down with all of its might.

Even someone like a Creation God like the Evil God would back away if he would see the amount of karmic aura that Jean had, however, he wasn't afraid of the punishment because he stood above heaven.

It's like a debt, a person like Jean would have acc.u.mulated more than 500 million of dollars as a debt, and the Evil God was a billionaire, so, even if he could pay the debt, it would still be scary actually seeing it on first person.

The black substance slowly engulfed the entirety of the illusion of the Primordial Azure Dragon, who was struggling violently, destroying nearby stars as his body was moving around, but he was unsuccessful on getting out from Jean's black substance, and was slowly absorbed…

After some time, Jean's consciousness returned to his body, and took deep breaths as he tried to stand up.

Then he immediately inspected his sea of the soul, and he was shocked. Because his soul sea, was as though it had turned from an ocean, into an actual starry sky! It was vast and powerful to the extent where he himself was unable to estimate its boundaries.

The spiritual strength he could derive from it, seemed to be unable to be harmed at all even if he were to engulf all spiritual bodies that existed.

Another odd feeling came from his body. He quickly looked at this skeleton with inner vision, and discovered that the marrows that flowed within actually all turned golden! It made even the surface of his bones to faintly emit a golden brilliance!

His marrow became as tough as an impregnable fortress; his initially incomparably hard bones refined under the Great Way of the Buddha and Dragon Blood, now even more so became several times stronger!

It was strong to the point there he firmly believed that even if he struck at his arm using the heavy sword with all his might, it wouldn't be possible to break a single bone!

Primordial Azure Dragon: You're awake? It seems like, you're very astonished.

Jean: Well, I wake up and I find gold in my marrow, what do you expect?

Primordial Azure Dragon: Hahaha, it may be so. Even though the current you have no changes in terms of profound strength, under the Dragon God's Marrow and Dragon God's Soul, both your body and soul had leaped boundaries comparable to sublimation.

It's just that after completely fusing them, you can't clearly feel it yourself, that's all. Furthermore, with the Dragon God's Soul and Dragon God's Marrow, you can now even more thoroughly release the power of Dragon God's bloodline in your body.

Your combat strength now, is already several times greater than before… Other than that, with your current soul's strength, it's already barely possible for you to open the 'Dragon Soul Domain' of our Dragon God race!

Jean: Domain…?

Primordial Azure Dragon: That's right. The Dragon Soul Domain is not a Domain for attack, nor is it a suppression, crowd control, or defensive domain. Instead, it is an incomparably overbearing mental Domain.

As to how powerful it is, you will know the moment you open it. However, even though it's a mental Domain, it still needs part of your profound energy to support it. So be careful when you use it.

As you grow stronger, the Dragon Soul Domain will also become increasingly powerful. Your road to becoming strong, is still very long.

Jean nodded in affirmation.

Primordial Azure Dragon: Very good. Even though your soul is deeply stained with blood and sins, it just happens to be as transparent as a crystal. I trust that I would not judge and choose a person wrongly…

Amongst all of the heritage of power I had left, this place is the latest, and also the last. People who have inherited my bloodline established the 'Dragon God Clan' at 'that place', and have increasingly grown stronger under countless years of carrying on the heritage.

Only, being powerful often will give birth to arrogance and greed, and I don't know just how the Dragon God Clan is faring as of today, either. As for people who had inherited the Dragon God's Marrow and Dragon God's Soul, you… are the only one.

However, before we separate, I want to advise you that there is the soul of a young dragon inside Dragon Fault, once you will awaken it, the weapon will turn to an Emperor Profound weapon, I don't know if you can awake it, but it's best if you do it in future since you don't have the strength to carry its full weight.

Jean: Emperor… Profound weapon…?!

Jean was shocked once again, he was carrying an Emperor Profound weapon disguised as a Sky Profound weapon?! Hohoho! It will be interesting!

Primordial Azure Dragon: Alright, now we will need to bid goodbye to each other, I hope you can fulfill my wish…

Jean: Yeah, I will do my best, goodbye, Primordial Azure Dragon.

The azure blue eyes vanished from the sky, and Jean turned back to the cave where he was before the trial.
