“Thump thump…”
The vibrating sounds around them continued without pause. Every cultivator’s physique was being tempered as if heavy hammers were striking their bodies.
Compared with others, Ye Chu’s physique tempering showed no difference. Spiritual energy washed his body in the same way, and the miraculous effects bred by dragon blood penetrated into him. Ye Chu had no advantage and was even inferior to other cultivators.
The Heavenly Feather Prince and Tan Chen had already walked close to the centre of the lake. The dragon blood there was extremely viscous. Terrifying heaven and earth vital energy turned into giant dragons that hammered their bodies. Because of this their radiance surged violently, and their bodies transformed at a visible speed.
People who noticed this scene could see giant dragons of vital energy coiling around them. These dragons penetrated into their bodies and caused their blood and qi to vibrate intensely.
As true talents, their blood and qi vibrated with thunderous roars, like mountain floods erupting. This startled many people. What a vast and surging blood and qi it must be to possess such power when full.
Ye Chu heard this thunderous booming sound and felt shocked by the opponents’ abundant blood and qi. He could not even imagine how strong the blood and qi of Tan Chen and the Heavenly Feather Prince truly were as true talents. Compared with his own it was truly a difference of heaven and earth.
Ye Chu took a deep breath and calmed the shock in his heart. This was also something he could not help. The weakness of this body was destined from birth and he had no choice. What he could do was to make his body continuously stronger.
Ye Jingyun was also tempered by the dragon blood, which caused the blood and qi in her body to resonate. Booming sounds vibrated like war drums shaking the heavens and drew sidelong glances from the crowd.
In comparison Ye Chu appeared far too ordinary. He sat cross legged there with no unusual signs. Among the many cultivators who had entered, Ye Chu ranked below average.
“It seems he really is just a showy but useless person, not a true talent at all.”
“Truly strange. He clearly possesses heaven and earth phenomena yet his body is so weak. What a waste of his artistic patterns.”
“…”
The crowd discussed one after another. They no longer held any hope for Ye Chu and turned their gazes towards Tan Chen and the Heavenly Feather Prince.
“Boom… boom…”
The heaven and earth vital energy in the dragon blood lake washed their bodies and stirred their blood and qi into continuous surges. Their radiance exploded with the vast power of shaking war drums and caused countless people to look over in shock.
Yang Ning and Yang Hui cultivated on the side. Their talent was not too weak either, but among so many outstanding talents their light was overshadowed.
The two women kept moving towards the centre of the lake until they could advance no further. Some people noticed this scene and thought it was the limit for the two women. But to everyone’s surprise the light on the two women surged and clashed together. Their artistic conceptions suddenly exploded, and the power inside their bodies actually became shared.
“Heart and mind connected, bodies linked!”
Many people cried out in surprise and stared at Yang Ning and Yang Hui with widened eyes. This was a rare state. Cultivators with connected hearts and minds were extremely few, let alone those with linked bodies. Such cases were hard to find even among millions.
People with this kind of physique could borrow each other’s talent, power, artistic conception and more. It was precisely because of this that even those with average talent would not achieve too low in the end.
The crowd watched Yang Ning and Yang Hui in a daze. “Although these two women cannot compare with true talents, they have another kind of opportunity. I am afraid they can obtain extraordinary benefits in the dragon blood lake.”
…
The brilliance of the crowd completely drowned out Ye Chu’s ordinariness. At this moment Ye Chu was still tempering himself. Impurities continued to emerge from his body and were washed away clean by the lake water.
Ye Chu was not in a hurry. He was slowly training himself. Compared with rushing straight to the centre of the lake, he preferred to temper his body steadily step by step.
Dragon blood contained the essence of dragons. Dragons were skilled at body refinement, and the strongest effect of their essence was to train the physical body. As Ye Chu was tempered by the dragon blood essence, the impurities in his body grew fewer and fewer until in the end it became extremely difficult to temper out even a trace.
Ye Chu finally began to walk towards the lake centre. However when he moved towards it the lake water impact gave him enormous pressure.
The deeper he went, the stronger the density of the dragon blood became and the thicker the bred essence. The flushing and baptism on a person also grew more powerful, placing extremely high demands on a cultivator’s endurance and tolerance.
If one could not withstand the impact and baptism of the essence, forcing forward would not be a blessing but a disaster. Forcing oneself to endure the surging dragon blood essence beyond one’s limit could very likely destroy the cultivator’s meridians or even heavily damage the qi sea.
In the dragon blood lake several cultivators had already become unable to advance further. Although they greedily desired the essence of the dragon blood ahead, reason made them stop and go no further.
Ye Chu’s figure kept moving forward. He felt a massive impact force tempering his body. The dragon blood essence became even more violent as it penetrated into him. His body, which had originally stopped producing impurities, was tempered once more.
His body was tempered and his physique grew stronger. The dragon blood essence followed his body and penetrated into Ye Chu’s qi sea. The essence did not increase the spiritual energy in his qi sea but instead expanded it.
This was the divine effect of dragon blood. It could change a cultivator’s talent.
The qi sea kept expanding. The origin spirit resonated with the qi sea. Ye Chu felt himself undergoing a special transformation.
“Dragon blood merges with my body!”
While Ye Chu absorbed the dragon blood essence, Tan Chen and the Heavenly Feather Prince had already reached the most important part of the dragon blood lake. Before them floated several drops of blood red,妖艳 blood that emitted a palpitating lustre.
Each drop of blood was the size of a basketball. Terrifying artistic conceptions vibrated out from them. Although it was just a drop of blood, one could sense the peerless might of a supreme expert from it.
Several drops of blood floated at the lake centre. They possessed miraculous intent and law, shining with dazzling light. Just looking at them with the eyes allowed one to feel the world shocking power within.
“This is true dragon blood!” The crowd drew in a sharp breath of cold air. Their eyes burned hot as they stared at these several basketball sized drops of dragon blood. The dragon blood in the lake was all diluted, but what lay before Tan Chen and the Heavenly Feather Prince was complete dragon blood.
No one could stay calm. Complete dragon blood represented the most perfect dragon blood effects. If one could refine and absorb a single drop, it would absolutely allow one’s blood and qi to reach an unimaginable level. Talent would surge violently and physique would soar.
Dragon blood, this was the creature most skilled at body refinement in the world. Their blood bred unique divine effects.
Tan Chen and the Heavenly Feather Prince looked at the several drops of dragon blood and did not dare to use them to train themselves lightly. The domineering nature of dragon blood needed no explanation. Although their physiques were extraordinary, they were not certain they could withstand its tyranny.
The two exchanged a glance, finally reached out their hands, drew a line in the void and pulled out a thread of dragon blood to merge into themselves.
“Puff…”
Although it was only a thread, Tan Chen still could not withstand the surging essence impact. A mouthful of blood sprayed out and he was directly smashed flying into the dragon blood lake.
“Hiss…”
The crowd drew in cold breaths. One by one they stared blankly ahead, shocked by the divine effect of dragon blood.
“This is a true talent. Could it be that even true talents cannot refine and absorb true dragon blood? If even true talents cannot use it, then just how precious is this dragon blood? How astonishing are its effects.”
