Dragon blood contains the essence bred by dragons. Every dragon tempers its physical body, refining every drop of blood and every tendon and bone to the extreme. Possessing its essence, a dragon that can fight several supreme experts shows how terrifying it is. The essence bred within its dragon blood is also world shocking. If not for the supreme expert who refined away the violent rage of the dragon blood back then, the artistic conception of the dragon blood alone could easily shock and kill everyone present.
It was precisely such an item that turned into flowing water and rushed into Ye Chu’s body. Such essence was enough to burst apart every cultivator’s qi sea and body, even a true talent was no exception.
Tan Chen and the Heavenly Feather Prince saw this scene and shook their heads. They believed Ye Chu would ruin himself due to greed. No one could withstand such flushing from dragon blood.
Ye Chu saw the dragon blood directly turn into flowing water and surge into his body. His expression changed dramatically as he worried his body could not endure it.
But his worry disappeared completely in an instant. After the dragon blood entered his body, it did not temper Ye Chu’s physique. Instead it merged into the black iron.
When the dragon blood entered the black iron, the black iron trembled madly. Green light burst forth violently and turned into patterns on the black iron. These patterns had miraculous effects and shone as they merged into Ye Chu’s origin spirit. Because of this Ye Chu’s origin spirit became active. The qi sea therefore expanded.
In these patterns Ye Chu felt the power of heaven and earth. It was as if river water was washing him, as if hot springs were baptising him, and again like the alternation of sun and moon. Thousands of artistic conceptions circled in Ye Chu’s mind.
This kind of artistic conception was something Ye Chu had never felt before, yet now they all appeared in his mind at the same time.
The rise and decline of heaven and earth, the replacement of all things, all appeared in Ye Chu’s heart at this moment. It was a mysterious and profound feeling. Ye Chu closed his eyes while soaking in the lake water, but he sensed all the creatures and things of heaven and earth. There were flying birds, vegetation, sun, moon and stars.
Ye Chu’s heart soared with all things. From the vast and endless ocean, it instantly reached the lush boundless forest, then arrived at the endless starry sky. His origin spirit transformed within these waves of artistic conceptions.
The origin spirit perceived all kinds of artistic conceptions, and Ye Chu’s artistic patterns also changed unpredictably.
The qi sea expanded under the cover of the black iron’s radiance. This expansion was far stronger than before. Between the vibrations of the patterns, it grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The transformation of the qi sea caused endless essence from the dragon blood lake to gather madly. The turbulent lake surface formed a huge whirlpool. The whirlpool rotated, and the lake water continuously impacted Ye Chu, allowing the essence to penetrate into his body.
The first basketball sized drop of dragon blood was quickly absorbed clean by the black iron. It then drew in another drop of dragon blood. The dragon blood sank into the black iron and had its essence absorbed.
The black iron also began to transform. Previously it was like something covered in dust, extremely dark. But at this moment, with the integration of dragon blood essence, the black iron gradually became lustrous. The dusty black iron was cleansed of its dust and emitted a soft glow that illuminated Ye Chu’s entire qi sea like a sun.
The Cold Fire Emperor was inside the coloured patterned evil spider. At this moment he trembled and curled up his body in fear, not daring to move at all.
“This… is the qi sea going to turn into heaven and earth?”
The Cold Fire Emperor was horrified as he felt the changes in Ye Chu’s qi sea.
The qi sea was expanding. Ye Chu’s artistic patterns turned into starry skies. The nine stars circled around the black iron, and the artistic patterns manifested a starry sky. On the nine stars there were ten thousand blooms. It truly resembled a small world.
The Cold Fire Emperor sensed all this in terror. Although he had highly estimated the value of the black iron, now it seemed he had still misjudged. Could this black iron even be stronger than a supreme artifact?
He had never heard of any divine object that could turn a person’s qi sea into a small heaven and earth.
The black iron had its dust washed away and constantly emitted soft radiance that covered the entire qi sea. The light carried all kinds of artistic conceptions, the artistic conceptions of all things. There were heaven and earth, sun and moon, flying birds and running beasts, as well as vast seas and mountains. It was endless and ever changing.
Every moment, Ye Chu’s origin spirit was baptised by the artistic conceptions emitted from the black iron.
At this moment, the extraordinariness of the black iron truly revealed itself. No one could imagine to what extent a person’s origin spirit could grow when bathed in the artistic conceptions of all things.
A person cultivates to seize the fortune of heaven and earth. But if one could place their own origin spirit among all things of heaven and earth every moment, then for spirit moulding this would be a world shocking and extraordinary effect. What secret technique could compare with such fortune?
Before this, Ye Chu had also suspected that the value of the black iron was stronger than the golden book obtained by Ji Die, but now he no longer had the slightest doubt. Just by the baptism of all things, no spirit moulding cultivation method in the world could surpass it.
The qi sea was expanding. Compared with before, Ye Chu’s qi sea was much stronger. The vital energy in Ye Chu’s qi sea was originally thick, but now it appeared sparse.
Ye Chu’s realm was falling. From the eighth layer of the origin spirit realm, it kept falling to the seventh layer, sixth layer, and even the fifth layer.
Ye Chu felt no sadness at this fall. Instead he was extremely excited.
The power in Ye Chu’s qi sea remained unchanged. The fall in realm only proved that the power at each layer was far stronger than before. At this moment the vital energy thickness at the fifth layer of the origin spirit realm could compare with the previous eighth layer.
This was a maddening transformation. The qi sea continued to transform. The black iron was still absorbing dragon blood. Already the third drop of dragon blood had entered Ye Chu’s body. The colour of the black iron had also changed from its previous dark black to a translucent green. It was densely covered with intricate patterns and contained characters on it, but Ye Chu’s origin spirit could not see them clearly.
The black iron had completely transformed. It displayed its miraculous nature, hanging in Ye Chu’s qi sea, suppressing it, resonating with the artistic patterns, and turning into a starry sky.
…
Ye Chu swallowing three drops of dragon blood in succession without dying caused many people to look over in shock and daze. Tan Chen and the Heavenly Feather Prince also frowned. They had only managed to absorb one drop even after using secret techniques, yet the other party had absorbed three drops in such a short time and was still refining them. This was far beyond their imagination.
“He cannot possibly have refined the dragon blood. Dragon blood is extraordinary. With our physiques it is absolutely impossible to absorb so much, no matter how heaven defying it is. Unless he used a secret technique to store the dragon blood in his body without refining it now.”
“It should be like that. But does he not know? Once dragon blood leaves the dragon blood lake, it loses its divine effect. What use is there in storing it in the body?”
“Greed is the original sin. He will regret it once he leaves the dragon blood lake.”
Tan Chen and the Heavenly Feather Prince shook their heads. They thought Ye Chu was unworthy of being a true talent, unable to control his own heart, and that his future achievements would be limited.
At this moment Ye Chu’s realm had already fallen to the fifth layer. Although the dragon blood lake had extremely thick vital energy, it only tempered the physical body and did not replenish the qi sea. This forced Ye Chu to swallow green origin pills to replenish the spiritual energy in his qi sea.
Ye Chu had over two hundred green origin pills. He had originally thought they would be enough for a cultivator to reach the ninth layer of the origin spirit realm, but now it seemed difficult even to recover to the eighth layer.
Just as Ye Chu prepared to take the green origin pills, the Little Sword King, after refining half a drop of dragon blood, shouted loudly at Ye Chu, “Hahaha, last time we could not determine a winner. Let us compete again this time.”
This is the third update.
