Chapter 740 Incredible Gains
The discussion he had with his returned to his mind, when they had discussed Dao stages.
“According to master, the Dao Expert stage is when one comprehends roughly twenty percent of the Dao,” John mused as he inspected his gains.
The Daos were the laws of the Heavens, and comprehending the Daos was a way to utilize that law. The Dao of power was a high level Dao, as it was far more abstract than the elements or similar Daos.
The Dao of power was obscure and intangible, but was also present within everything in existence. By learning more about the Dao of power, John was able to tap into that law to augment nearly everything to a higher level.
“My body, battle arts, even my weapons themselves…everything I use can be augmented by the Dao of power to become more potent…more powerful. It’s all encompassing, and therefore incredibly useful for combat specifically,” he mused.
“Just by infusing the Dao of power into my attacks, they should become far more powerful than before. Speaking of which…”
Thinking about the Dao of power shifted his thoughts to the Dragon-God Shift, which he had briefly used one time before.

“When I used it the first time, I could tell that I was missing some comprehensions when it came to the Dao of power, which is one of the reasons I could not use it effectively. The dragon said Jade Dragons are the dragons of physical might and strength, and so the Dao of power is most likely extremely important for this body battle art.”
A Jade piece suddenly appeared in his hands, which was the Jade piece gifted by the dragon spirit that contained the secrets of the Dragon-God Shift.
John’s divine sense entered the Jade piece and read over the contents within, while information regarding the pseudo-transformation body battle art flooded his mind.
John could tell that there were parts not yet revealed to him, and so he focused on what he could access within the Jade piece at the moment.
“Power is the mind, the body, and all of creation. Power is everything, and power is nothing. Power is real, and power is false. Creation becomes Qi, becomes power, becomes everything, or nothing. Power becomes the Dragon, and the Dragon becomes…-“
The words within had seemed hazy and unintelligible the first time he had read it, like they were the ramblings of a madman. Now however, those rambling words made much more sense to him, and John’s eyes lit up as he understood more of what the Dragon-God Shift was trying to say.
The first part of what was available for him to read were the ramblings, while the second part was a very complicated series of instructions on how to activate the battle art.
John had ignored the first part before as he couldn’t make sense of it, but now it made more sense to him.
“The first part teaches me the feeling of the Dragon-God Shift, and the second part the instructions of how to use it. Only by having both mastered can one use this battle art effectively. Let’s give it another try.”
As he began to follow the instructions on how to activate the Dragon-God Shift, his mind replayed the rambling words regarding power, and he fell into another trance as the two seemed to resonate and build on one another.
A growing sound began to boom from within his body, like a heartbeat growing ever louder, while a draconian aura of power and might began to radiate from his body as his body suddenly shifted and changed.
The sound and aura grew stronger, and John roared loudly, almost as if he were unable to control the instinct to do so. The loud roar was like that of a dragons, which violently shook the meditation chamber he was within.
A glowing greenish gold aura surrounded him, while green scales had appeared on his cheeks, shoulders, arms, chest, and legs. Even his eyes had changed, becoming bright gold like a glowing sun.
At the same time, a power he felt only when using his Asura Transformation flooded through his body, filling it to the brim with overwhelming physical might.
John closely inspected his current state for a moment, and smiled wide, fully content with its power.
“The might of this battle art is almost on par with the Asura Transformation, and is only a small bit weaker! But the best part is the burden on my body is less than when I use the Asura Transformation Incredible!” He exclaimed excitedly.
John basked in the power of dragons for a short moment, feeling the battle art and becoming accustomed to it. After becoming used to using it, his aura faded away, and his body returned to normal as the scales on his body disappeared.
“Incredible. Absolutely incredible!” John exclaimed, beyond elated with his progress in just one night.
“The most important part of the Dragon-God shift is not its strength, but is the fact that I can use it at the same time as my Asura Transformation. Using both at the same time would have been impossible before, but after the changes to my body thanks to the dragon blood and dragon bones I absorbed and fused with, I should be able to handle using both at the same time without dying!”
John’s thoughts shifted to his bloodline ability, and the thought of combining all three appeared in his mind.
“If I used all three at the same time, just how strong would I be?” John mused before wising up a bit. “But would my body even be able to handle such a burden?”
The strain of using all three at the same time sent a shiver down his spine, as he could imagine himself exploding like a balloon from the power surging within his body. He shook his head several times, shaking the image from his mind.
“I should only ever do such a thing unless there is no other option, but regardless, tonight has been fruitful beyond my wildest dreams. If I were to face myself from just a month ago, I would win in less than ten seconds, and Asuros would not be able to withstand a single attack of mine. My strength has soared to levels even I don’t know where it’s at right now…and there’s only one way to find out where my strength lies.”
The image of a certain person appeared in his mind, as well as thoughts of revenge for the hellish training she had put him through while a small smile appeared on his face as well.
“I wonder…would I be able to handle her in battle as I am right now? Only one way to find out.”
