Chapter 339: Strength Enhancement
Artifact Refining Sect's three Elders and Yann Hong stared blankly at the large beast corpse on the ground.
Their faces were a mix of surprise and confusion.
They still couldn't figure out why, when facing Xu Nian's attack, the Ice Crystal Sky King Dragon didn't resist at all.
Xu Nian looked at the astonished expressions on everyone's faces,
but a smile appeared on his own face.
This was his biggest secret.
He naturally wouldn't explain to them like they would to others.
The Power of Nine Dragons Supreme had a strong oppressiveness over demon beasts but had no effect at all on humans.
Thus, they naturally couldn't understand what the Ice Crystal Sky King Dragon was feeling at that moment.
"Black Wind, extract all the Demon Beast Crystal Cores," Xu Nian instructed.
Black Wind immediately became a shadow and broke open the heads of these demon beasts, extracting the Crystal Cores.
Meanwhile, Xu Nian walked up to the Ice Crystal Sky King Dragon and began to absorb the Ice Frost Giant Dragon Qi inside its body.
Sure enough, as he absorbed, the Ice Frost Giant Dragon Qi inside Xu Nian instantly became much stronger.
This, in turn, once again enhanced Xu Nian's control over the Xuan Ice Power.
Not only that but as this Dragon Energy was absorbed,

Xu Nian's Divine Demon Cultivation also received an enormous boost.
It broke through directly from the One-star Body King Realm to the Three-star Body King Realm.
Yes, this was the benefit of the Nine Dragons Supreme Body.
With each additional strand of Dragon Energy absorbed, another part of his potential was unearthed.
This was still with the Dragon Qi of the Ice Frost Giant Dragon not being dense enough; otherwise, Xu Nian's Body Cultivation could have increased even more.
Xu Nian then took out the Demon Cores collected by Black Wind.
He sat down directly on the ground and began cultivating.
Yes, he intended to devour the power in these Demon Cores to enhance his own Cultivation.
His realm was too low now, and the upcoming battle for the dragon veins would be even more dangerous, so he had to increase his Cultivation.
As for the corpses of these demon beasts,
Xu Nian gave one Nine-star War King Level demon beast corpse to both Black Dog and Purple King Vine.
The rest, he gave to Little Xu Yu.
After all, given the absorption capabilities of Black Dog and Purple King Vine,
one Nine-star War King Level demon beast corpse was enough for them to absorb for a very long time.
However, Little Xu Yu was different; he was a true Divine Beast.
Even if given many more demon beast corpses, he would still absorb them without any problem.
Xu Nian believed that with these demon beast corpses,
Little Xu Yu's Cultivation would definitely rise to a very powerful level.
Of course, the one who gained the most was Xu Nian himself.
A total of six Demon Cores, four of which were from Nine-star War Kings.
Such terrifying demon core energy, if released all at once, could level an entire city.
And now Xu Nian was going to absorb all of the energy from these Demon Cores?
Xu Nian was seen sitting cross-legged in the center of the great hall, holding the Demon Beast Crystal Core of a Five-star Battle King Level demon beast in his hand.
A terrifying suction force emanated from his hand.
Then everyone saw the energy within the Crystal Core surge out, flowing directly along Xu Nian's arm into his body.
"Directly absorbing the power of a Demon Beast Crystal Core? Has the Sect Master lost his mind?"
The Artifact Refining Sect Elders widened their eyes at this sight.
The energy within the Demon Cores was incredibly wild, and even Saints wouldn't dare to directly absorb the energy from a Demon Core.
And now Xu Nian was wildly absorbing the energy of a Five-star Battle King Level Demon Beast Crystal Core.
Wasn't this courting death?
Yann Hong's face was also filled with shock.
Xu Nian's actions had startled her considerably.
"Let's wait and see. If anything seems amiss, we'll immediately intervene," Yann Hong said.
The three great Artifact Refining Sect Elders nodded firmly, fixating their gazes on Xu Nian as if facing a formidable enemy.
However, as time passed, Xu Nian not only showed no signs of anomaly,
But the Demon Beast Crystal Core in his hand shattered at this moment.
It turned out that he had drained all of its energy.
"How come it's so little? To only attain the Peak of One-star Battle King and not break through to Two-star Battle King?" Xu Nian said, feeling depressed.
The three Great Elders, including Yann Hong, were stunned upon hearing this.
A Five-star Battle King Level Demon Beast had its energy completely drained, and he didn't break through to Two-star Battle King?
And he absorbed the power of the Demon Beast Crystal Core without any consequences?
The three Great Elders and Yann Hong felt as if their worldviews had been turned upside down.
This was the first time they realized
That the power of a Demon Beast Crystal Core could be directly absorbed?
Of course, they dared not try it themselves.
At this moment, even if they were fools, they knew it was due to the heaven-defying Combat Technique that Xu Nian practiced.
But they couldn't possibly imagine what kind of Combat Technique could allow such unrestrained absorption of a Demon Beast Crystal Core's power.
Yet, what Xu Nian did next shocked them even more.
This time, Xu Nian directly took out two Nine-star War King Level Demon Beast Crystal Cores.
One in each hand, he started to absorb wildly.
Two torrents of berserk power surged up his arms, madly rushing into Xu Nian's Dantian.
The flood of power, like thunder rolling continuously,
Echoed within Xu Nian's body.
The three Great Elders and Yann Hong watched with their eyes wide and mouths agape.
This is a Nine-star War King Level Demon Beast Crystal Core!
Holding two Demon Beast Crystal Cores at once to absorb, isn't he afraid his body will explode?
What kind of terrifying absorption speed is required to sustain such a level of cultivation?
Is this guy even human?
At this moment, they finally understood why Xu Nian, so young, possessed such high Cultivation.
They also understood why Xu Nian could exert such heaven-defying combat power despite being only a One-star Battle King.
Having absorbed so much energy, anyone else would have advanced an entire major realm.
But Xu Nian only broke through by one or two stars.
Just how terrifying must the Spiritual Energy reserves be for each star he broke through?
As time went on, Xu Nian's Cultivation soared straight up.
Finally, he broke through to the Four-star Battle King Peak Level.
Only one Demon Beast Crystal Core remained in Xu Nian's hands, that of the Ice Crystal Sky King Dragon.
Originally, Xu Nian planned to absorb it.
But then he thought that even if he did, he could only break through to the Five-star Peak.
It would be better to leave this Demon Core for the Black Gold Puppet.
The Black Gold Puppet relied on the power of Demon Beast Crystal Cores to maintain its combat strength.
If it were equipped with the Ice Crystal Sky King Dragon's Crystal Core, it would undoubtedly attain the combat strength of the Peak of Battle King.
In this way, Xu Nian would have another high-level expert at the Peak of Battle King Level in his hands.
Next, Xu Nian took out Li Yuanba's storage ring.
Indeed, the Snake Pill he had previously claimed was inside the storage ring.
Without hesitation, Xu Nian threw the Snake Pill to Chen Wudi.
With this Snake Pill, the poison in Chen Tiansheng's body could be cured.
Perhaps he could even use this opportunity to break through to the Saint Realm.
At the very least, he could reach the Semi-Saint Realm.
With this, Xu Nian's forces would grow stronger once again.
"Let's continue forward. I estimate that after a few more halls, we'll reach the main hall where the Dragon Vein is located," Xu Nian said to Yann Hong and the others.
Yann Hong and the others nodded earnestly.
Having witnessed Xu Nian's combat strength, they were filled with even more confidence in this battle for the Dragon Vein.
