Chapter 776: Devouring Dragon Marrow
"No matter who you are, don't let me catch you! Otherwise, I swear you'll have nowhere to bury your corpse,"
An angry roar echoed through the valley.
Dozens of miles away from the canyon, Xu Nian heard the roar and the corners of his mouth revealed a slight smile.
"What's going on?" Hong Xiang and Bu Keng also heard the roar.
Naturally, they recognized the roar as coming from Situ Chen they had just encountered.
"Situ Chen exhausted all his cunning strategies, yet in the end, he got nothing. Wouldn't you say he's furious?" Xu Nian said with a light smile.
"You mean, you've taken all the Spirit Stones and the Spiritual Spring?" Hong Xiang asked in surprise.
Xu Nian nodded with a smile, "Otherwise, do you think I left because I was afraid of Situ Chen?"
Bu Keng and Hong Xiang nodded in realization upon hearing this.
They had found it strange before, why Xu Nian suddenly suggested leaving.
With Xuan Hong there, even though Situ Chen's Body Skill was somewhat peculiar,
there was no need to be afraid of him.
So, Xu Nian had openly repaired the plank road while secretly crossing the Chen Cang, extracting all the Spiritual Spring and Spirit Stones.
But the Spiritual Spring could be extracted in a short time, since it was after all liquid.
However, the Spirit Stones, being solidified over time and fused with the earth,
how could they be mined in a short time?
Could it be that Xu Nian had the ability to move mountains?
Seeming to apprehend the doubts of Hong Xiang and Bu Keng, Xu Nian said with a slight smile, "I didn't move the Spirit Stones; I just extracted all the Spiritual Energy from them. Now the Spirit Stones left beneath the Spiritual Field have all turned into waste stones."
"Completely drained?" Hong Xiang and Bu Keng's eyes widened.
To be able to drain all the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stones in such a brief time,
that was perhaps even more shocking than if he had moved all the Spirit Stones.
Xu Nian just smiled and offered no further explanation.
To drain a small-sized Spirit Stone Vein was no difficult feat for the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar.
"I need to enter seclusion to recover from my injuries. You all rest individually for now," Xu Nian spoke.
After saying this, he waved his sleeve, and the God King Tripod appeared before everyone's eyes.
Then, Xu Nian directly entered the Small World contained within the God King Tripod.
The Small World inside the God King Tripod had completely changed.
Within, vegetation was lush, and the Spiritual Energy was incredibly abundant.
Now a lake had appeared on the dense and lush grassland, where and when no one knew.
This lake was shrouded in mist.
But this mist was not ordinary water vapor; it was the mist emitted by the disbursement of Spiritual Energy.
That's right, this lake was exactly the Spiritual Spring that Xu Nian had extracted from the ancient well.
Next to the Spiritual Spring, a small tree about half a person tall was growing.
Xu Nian was now sitting beside this small tree.
Not far from him, a giant beast lay prostrate, its entire body covered in black Scale Armor.
The beast's body was undergoing a sharp transformation.
The surface Scale Armor was constantly shedding, but as they shed, new Scale Armor grew back in its place.
The newly grown Scale Armor was even darker and harder than before.
Yes, this giant beast was the Undying Devouring Sky Beast.
And now, the Undying Devouring Sky Beast was breaking through to the Zifu Realm.
Having absorbed an entire Low-grade Spirit Stone Vein's Spiritual Energy, the Undying Devouring Sky Beast had completely evolved.
Watching the Spiritual Energy wrapped around the sharp-changing Undying Devouring Sky Beast,
Xu Nian's true body also slowly closed his eyes, beginning to silently absorb the surrounding Spiritual Energy.
Thanks to the Spiritual Energy lake, the Spiritual Energy within the God King Tripod had reached an extremely dense level.
Cultivating inside the God King Tripod for one day was absolutely comparable to ten days or even half a month in the outside world.
Xu Nian started operating the Dan Sea Species Green Lotus.
And as the Dan Sea Species Green Lotus operated,
bunches of Golden Lotus sprouted directly in Xu Nian's Dantian.
Golden Lotus glowed with a nimbus of light, shining resplendently.
Each Golden Lotus was a product of True Essence condensation.
As the Golden Lotuses were born, Xu Nian's Cultivation also rose accordingly.
There were even signs of a breakthrough to the Middle-Stage of the Zifu Realm.
However, Xu Nian knew that a breakthrough in such a short time wasn't enough.
At the very least, it would require an accumulation of ten days to half a month.
For an ordinary Cultivator to break through from the Early Stage to the Middle Stage of the Zifu Realm,
It would be impossible without eight to ten years of accumulation.
After all, the Cultivation journey is longer and more tedious for a Cultivator than it is for others.
Some Harmonization Heavenly Phenomenon Realm experts would even enter closed-door meditation for decades or centuries.
Therefore, Xu Nian managing a breakthrough in just ten days to half a month could definitely be considered a prodigy shocking the world.
Letting the Dan Sea Species Green Lotus operate on its own,
Xu Nian directly retrieved the dragon bone.
This dragon bone contained the bloodline of one of the nine ancient Divine Dragons, the Red Fire Flame Dragon.
The reason Xu Nian had kept it unused was to break through to the Vajra Realm in one fell swoop as a Divine Demon Body Refiner.
This was just three days after entering the Cultivation World,
And Xu Nian had already encountered a number of strong individuals.
Had it not been for Xuan Hong's company, his journey would likely have been hindered at every step.
Firstly, Situ Chen might have killed him and not to mention, devoured this Spiritual Spring and Spirit Stone Vein.
Therefore, Xu Nian must enhance his strength as soon as possible.
Otherwise, not to mention doing what he wanted to do, even surviving was in question.
"Buzz!"
Xu Nian directly took out the Immortal Sword, attempting to cut open the dragon bone.
However, to Xu Nian's surprise,
The bone was extraordinarily hard.
Even his Immortal Sword found it difficult to cut through.
After spending a whole eight hours, Xu Nian finally managed to cut open the dragon bone.
Once the bone was cleaved, a thick, fragrant aroma immediately permeated the air.
The marrow of the bone flowed like rosy clouds, emitting a rich glow.
The power contained within it was enough to send shock waves through Xu Nian's body.
Xu Nian's eyes instantly lit up, and he poured all the marrow from the bone directly into his mouth.
The moment it entered his body, it ignited like a raging fire.
"Ah..."
Xu Nian immediately screamed in pain.
This was the life fire of a True Dragon, with a temperature unimaginably fierce.
Not to mention that Xu Nian's flesh had not reached the Vajra Realm,
Even if he had, it would not be certain that he could withstand such terrifying scorching.
"Roar!"
Moreover, a dragon's roar also resonated within Xu Nian's body.
A small Flame Dragon could be seen rampaging inside Xu Nian's body, wreaking havoc as it wished.
Xu Nian's skin seemed to crack, with terrifying red light flickering in the crevices.
It was as if his entire being was about to explode completely.
"Ah... Dead for so many years and still so powerful, I refuse to believe I can't suppress you," Xu Nian roared furiously, with intense pain nearly making him faint.
Despite the pain, Xu Nian still forced himself to sit cross-legged.
He began to run the Divine Demon Refining Body Technique.
At the same time, he activated the Nine Dragon Supreme Bloodline within his body, beginning to devour the Flame Dragon Power.
While the terrifying flames continued to burn, Xu Nian endured inhuman torture while absorbing the power.
And as he absorbed it, his skin began to peel off like shedding, revealing new skin that was pale and glossy!
