Nine Realms Sword Emperor

"Xing Xuan, how to condense this second life source?"

Chu Fengmian is not someone who hesitates. Once he condenses the second life source, it will have immense benefits for him.

The life source is the origin of a martial artist. Although Chu Fengmian's realm comes from the Battle Dragon Technique, his origin power is still his life sword essence.

No matter how strong the Battle Dragon Technique is, it only represents his bloodline, not his origin.

And once the second life source is condensed, it means Chu Fengmian can simultaneously wield the power of two life sources.

It is simply earth-shattering. Chu Fengmian must seize this opportunity.

"Do you really want to choose to condense? Condensing the second life source is an extremely dangerous task, where ten out of nine die. You must think it through."

Xing Xuan frowned upon hearing Chu Fengmian's words. He only meant to give Chu Fengmian a suggestion.

He just wanted Chu Fengmian to think about it, but unexpectedly, Chu Fengmian chose to condense without consideration.

To Chu Fengmian, danger seemed non-existent.

"I am clear."

Chu Fengmian is clearly aware of the dangers of condensing the second life source. If such a secret technique were easy, it would have spread across the Nine Domains.

It now appears that the difficulty of condensing the second life source might not be less than that of the Chaos Five Emperors Technique.

So, despite its power, very few dare to attempt it, which is why it remains unknown.

Desiring power naturally comes at a cost, something Chu Fengmian is very clear about, and he has no plans to back down.

Hearing Chu Fengmian's response, Xing Xuan sighed, and his mind stirred, ushering a cultivation technique into Chu Fengmian's consciousness.

This cultivation technique has no name, recording the method for condensing the second life source.

"Although the method for condensing the second life source is simple, whoever devised it must be an unparalleled genius."

The method for condensing the second life source was simpler than Chu Fengmian imagined.

Just like the first condensation of the life source, it involves re-massing additional power, but with this condensation maintaining a balance.

If the massed power is too small, it will be directly swallowed by the current life sword essence within Chu Fengmian's body, rendering efforts futile.

If the power is condensed too greatly, it will turn from guest to master, almost certainly leading to the explosion and demise.

Although simple, the actual risk is not weaker than the Chaos Five Emperors Technique. The person who came up with this must be a genius, or perhaps a madman.

Only a lunatic could devise such a monstrous cultivation technique.

"There is no one for miles around, perfect for condensing."

Chu Fengmian gathers spiritual power, setting up countless prohibitions around the mountains, enclosing them in layers of protection.

Only then does Chu Fengmian grab the dragon serpent bloodline and without hesitation, directly swallows it into his body.

Boom!

As the dragon serpent bloodline enters the body, it suddenly explodes within Chu Fengmian, the innate power erupting almost shattering his body.

Innate power, while mighty, is incredibly hard to control.

Most martial artists who master innate power are born with an innate physique, growing with the innate power, thus facing no danger.

The young master of the Fire family possesses an innate dragon serpent bloodline that has also been dormant, posing no danger.

Yet Chu Fengmian now directly swallows this dragon serpent bloodline, using its power for himself.

This action is akin to walking a tightrope, with the slightest mistake allowing innate power to burst through and cause Chu Fengmian's body to explode and perish.

In the first instant, Chu Fengmian felt danger, his resilient body showed various cracks.

Fortunately, the Divine Tree's power timely lent its support, stabilizing Chu Fengmian's body.

This was merely the first impact of the dragon serpent bloodline. The innate divine beast's bloodline is exceedingly precious, bound to resist control fiercely.

With the current power of the Divine Tree, it couldn't withstand the dragon serpent bloodline's force alone.

Thinking of this, Chu Fengmian suddenly waved his hand, sending a mass of essence blood towards the Divine Tree.

Seeing this mass of essence blood, the Divine Tree suddenly rejoiced, devouring the essence blood eagerly.

Witnessing this, Chu Fengmian also felt some distress. This mass of essence blood is none other than that of the Great Elder of the Fire family.

The essence blood contains one-third of the Great Elder of the Fire family's power, which is beyond words.

Originally, Chu Fengmian planned to use this essence blood when he was preparing to break through to the Heavenly Realm.

But now, to condense the second life source, the Divine Tree must withstand the dragon serpent bloodline's impact, leaving Chu Fengmian no choice.

He could only give the essence blood to the Divine Tree for it to devour.

Yet this mass of essence blood wasn't wasted, as after the Divine Tree devoured it, its power underwent a massive transformation.

Compared to before, its strength increased by more than fifty percent.

This mass of essence blood only contains one-third of a true quasi-emperor's power, but it is nonetheless Emperor's Blood Essence.

Compared to the blood of numerous immortals and supreme ancestors, it is much stronger, allowing the Divine Tree to transform dramatically.

However, the change in the Divine Tree is merely quantitative. For its power to undergo qualitative change, it's still insufficient.

Chu Fengmian felt that only complete quasi-emperor essence blood would truly transform the Divine Tree's power.

But now Chu Fengmian cannot attend to this. For him, swallowing the dragon serpent bloodline to condense the second life source is the utmost priority.

"Boom!"

With the Divine Tree's strengthened power, the impact of the dragon serpent bloodline on Chu Fengmian's body weakened greatly.

The dragon serpent bloodline is, after all, still extremely thin, true dragon serpent power is less than one percent, so Chu Fengmian could withstand it.

If it was pure complete innate divine beast essence blood, should Chu Fengmian recklessly swallow it, a million of him would die.

While relieving the impact of the dragon serpent bloodline, Chu Fengmian also began the next step. From his bloodline, spiritual power was gradually being extracted.
