Tan Chen’s body shot out from the centre of the lake and his gaze fell on the dragon blood again. Although he had been hit and spat blood, Tan Chen did not become dejected because of it. Instead he became even more excited.
This is a supreme treasure. If we have enough dragon blood to help us, our physiques can increase by more than double.
Tan Chen went crazy. The attempt just now had made him understand the value of dragon blood. Just a tiny bit caused essence to surge like a river through his body, fiercely washing his body. One can imagine how terrifying the essence contained in a single drop of dragon blood was.
As outstanding talents, their gifts were already monstrously strong. Raising them even a little was extremely difficult, yet now there was hope to double their physiques. What a heaven defying opportunity this was.
Tan Chen did not want to miss it. Prince Tianyu wanted it even less, and the other cultivators also went crazy for it.
Tan Chen waved his arms and displayed a secret technique. The artistic conception and laws in his body intertwined into patterns that covered him, suppressing himself. With a swing of his arm he drew dragon blood into his body.
Dragon blood entered Tan Chen’s body once more. His whole face turned red, as if repeatedly boiled in boiling water. His face became burning hot, then his entire body turned red hot.
Prince Tianyu also displayed wondrous techniques to absorb the dragon blood. As it entered his body it caused his blood and qi to surge like thunder, vast like mountains and rivers collapsing.
The two sat cross legged there, absorbing strands of dragon blood and tempering themselves with its true essence. Their bodies improved at a visible speed.
Around them, heavenly phenomena appeared. Everyone understood that this was an extreme transformation. After this, the talents of the two outstanding figures would surge again.
…
Ye Jingyun reached the centre of the lake. Dragon blood floated before her as well. She gritted her teeth and used a secret technique to draw it into her body. She did not hope to compare with Tan Chen and Prince Tianyu, but she would refine as much as she could.
Having walked all the way to the centre, Ye Jingyun felt her qi sea had opened up a lot and her physique had greatly improved.
Ye Jingyun could not help glancing at Ye Chu, only to see him still moving forward slowly, still extremely far from the centre of the lake.
What is Ye Chu doing? Compared to others, Ye Jingyun had more confidence in Ye Chu’s extraordinariness. Perhaps he could not match the outstanding talents, but he would definitely not be inferior to the Little Sword King. At this moment even the Little Sword King had reached the centre, so what reason did Ye Chu have for not reaching it?
Ye Jingyun could never have guessed that Ye Chu’s physique was truly inferior to the Little Sword King’s. At this moment Ye Chu was enduring the enormous pressure from the Dragon Blood Lake’s impact. This pressure made him uncomfortable. Every step felt like torture.
The terrifying spiritual energy impact made Ye Chu grit his teeth. He worried that in the next moment the essence impact could destroy his qi sea.
My physique is still too weak. It is hard to change it. Ye Chu muttered, feeling very helpless in his heart.
Is this my limit? I am unwilling. Ye Chu felt pain in his qi sea as if it was about to collapse and shatter. He gritted his teeth and used his artistic conception to shake and stabilise his qi sea while enduring the tempering from the dragon blood essence.
The artistic patterns suppressed the qi sea. The qi sea that was about to collapse once again endured the spiritual energy impact and slowly expanded.
But the effect of the artistic patterns was limited after all. After Ye Chu advanced another distance, the surging spiritual energy from the dragon blood made his qi sea unable to bear it.
Heaven and earth artistic laws, pour into the qi sea to form a side of heaven and earth.
Ye Chu’s origin spirit shook. He used the artistic patterns from the Floating Life Palace and the patterns from the Ye family ancestor in the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Land. They intertwined in his qi sea and endured the impact from the dragon blood spiritual energy.
Each of these patterns was extraordinary and would not be inferior to those of supreme experts. These two sets of artistic patterns suppressed Ye Chu’s qi sea. His qi sea became as stable as steel and no longer showed any sign of collapse.
However with the artistic patterns suppressing the qi sea, the incoming dragon blood essence had no power to expand it. Ye Chu’s qi sea could not enlarge at all and remained stable there. Even if Ye Chu walked further towards the centre, his qi sea would not change.
Damn it. Without expanding the qi sea, no matter how strong the body tempering is it will only be temporary and cannot change my talent. Ye Chu muttered, falling into a dilemma. Without using the peerless artistic patterns to suppress the qi sea, it would collapse under the dragon blood impact. But using them to suppress it meant the dragon blood power could not open up the qi sea.
Ye Chu shot rapidly towards the centre of the lake, hoping the deeper dragon blood could help him open up his qi sea. But the result disappointed him. The dragon blood essence could not shake the two patterns.
Ye Chu suddenly flashed quickly towards the centre, which left many people puzzled. However when they saw the spiritual energy impacting around Ye Chu was not dense, they all stopped paying attention.
Without strong spiritual energy impact, even at the centre he would not gain much benefit.
Ye Chu shot forward again and had already reached the centre. The lake water here was extremely viscous. Ye Chu could feel intense heaven and earth spiritual energy. The lake water’s artistic conception was full, as if a giant dragon was coiled within it.
This artistic conception formed from the condensed dragon blood directly imprinted into the cultivator’s origin spirit, creating this feeling. This was enough to prove the divine effects of the dragon blood here were extraordinary.
At the very centre of the lake, there was unrefined dragon blood. Not far from Ye Chu were several drops of dragon blood, each the size of a basketball. They were exactly the same as what Tan Chen and Prince Tianyu had absorbed.
Ye Chu looked at this true dragon blood and remained silent for a moment. He was just considering whether to draw a strand into his body. But at that instant, light burst forth from Ye Chu’s body. The black iron at the centre of his qi sea suddenly began to tremble.
The black iron had endless patterns. The ones Ye Chu could use so far were only the outermost ones. But at this moment the black iron underwent a shocking change. Most of the patterns on it began to flow, and vast light flashed within Ye Chu’s qi sea.
The black iron was extraordinary, a naturally formed treasure that even supremes coveted.
Its patterns carried the artistic conception of heaven and earth, and the laws and dao of the world. The black iron trembled. The light turned into patterns and surged into Ye Chu’s qi sea.
The black iron could shape Ye Chu’s origin spirit and could also open up his qi sea.
However Ye Chu was too weak and could not control the black iron fully. He could only use its roughest patterns, so the effect was actually limited.
Although the black iron helped Ye Chu, it had not shown overly astonishing advantages.
But at this moment, the mysterious naturally formed peerless patterns on the black iron shook and flashed in large numbers, transforming and sublimating within Ye Chu’s qi sea.
Ah…
Ye Chu could not help letting out a sound. The patterns formed from light merged into his qi sea and it began to open up.
At the same time, his origin spirit was also being shaped.
The black iron had the divine effect of opening the qi sea and shaping the origin spirit, but Ye Chu could not utilise it. Yet now it displayed itself on its own, which surprised Ye Chu.
But this surprise soon received an explanation. The dragon blood in the distance directly turned into streams of water, shot towards Ye Chu’s body and merged into him.
This scene drew exclamations from many people. They all widened their eyes and stared at Ye Chu with burning gazes, full of shock.
This was dragon blood. Even the outstanding talents could only carefully absorb and refine it strand by strand. Yet the other party was absorbing it directly into his body as if pumping water.
