Roar!
The distant and ancient cries of the dragon and phoenix sounded as if they were from ancient times, having travelled across time and space to resound in Mu Chen’s mind. At that moment, the blood in Mu Chen’s body seemed to be boiling in response.
A bright golden light began to expand from the center of Mu Chen’s eyebrows. Then, in just a short moment, it managed to spread to every corner of Mu Chen’s body. Moreover, when that type of golden light penetrated into his flesh and blood, an extremely intense burning sensation was immediately emitted.
The burning sensation instantly caused Mu Chen to twist his face in pain. His body was continuously trembling, and traces of blood were actually beginning to escape through his pores.
At this moment, that one small drop of dark golden-colored Blood Essence had revealed its incomparable overbearance. It actually wanted to burn up all of the blood in Mu Chen’s entire body!
This scene was clearly not what Mu Chen wanted to see. He was well-aware that, if the blood in his body were to be completely burnt out, it would cause him to be severely injured. At that time, the Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essence would take over. If this happened, he feared that even his flesh would be destroyed!
“No matter what you are, the moment you enter my body, you have to behave!” Mu Chen gritted his teeth, while his state of mind was being stretched to its limit. The spiritual energy in his body began to operate quickly, to the extent that even the speed of the flow of blood in his body was also quickening.
He knew that he could not cower in the slightest. No matter how overbearing this Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essence was, he was definitely not going to allow it to incinerate all of the blood in his body!
The golden rays of light were seeping into his flesh and blood, causing it to glimmer. But under Mu Chen’s control, and along with the help of the spiritual energy, the blood in his body began its counterattack, once again suppressing the golden rays of light.
The two began a tug of war within his flesh and blood. With every clash, his flesh and blood squirmed. The immense pain that was being emitted caused Mu Chen to shout uncontrollably, as that kind of pain was as unbearable as the sensation of having one’s flesh cut off!
But, at this moment, he had no way to retreat. In order to cultivate this Dragon-Phoenix Body, he would certainly have to bear all the risks.
If a person were to look at the exterior of Mu Chen’s present body, they would notice that it was emitting blood red and golden colors. The two colors were continuously making contact, as if each wanted to corrode the other. Then, while the two rays of light were shining, Mu Chen’s twisted face became particularly ferocious.
Although that Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essence was overbearing, it was still rather weak. Thus, once this type of tug of war face-off ended, the golden light finally subsided.
Just as Mu Chen was letting out a slight breath of relief, above his head and underneath the Dragon-Phoenix Divine Wheel, a golden light was blossoming once again. Then, another drop of Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essence fell down, landing into the center of Mu Chen’s eyebrows.
“Bastard!”
Mu Chen only had time to mentally curse in rage, before he was hit by a surge of severe pain. He could only hold on tight to his previous state of mind, thus preventing his consciousness from being dispersed, due to that sharp pain.
In this current state, for the next few moments, Mu Chen began to savor the wonderful feeling of living death. With each new round of the tug of war, he could perceive that the flesh and blood in his body was as if it was being split into countless pieces. It was a similar feeling to the sensation of being cut again and again by a sharp knife.
In the end, he did not even know how long this tug of war had been going on. He did know that he had lost all of his senses, except for his consciousness, which was still a little foggy, however.
While Mu Chen was stuck in this condition of muddle-headedness, he was not aware that, within the flesh and blood in his body, along with each tussle, traces of dark golden wisps of blood were actually appearing. These wisps of blood could be found everywhere within the flesh and blood, slowly squirming outside of his skeleton. It was like an extremely terrifying life force was faintly emitting out from his very bones!
On the surface of Mu Chen’s skin, there was also a surge of dark golden rays of light. Then, indistinctly, what seemed like finely and closely woven dark golden scales emerged from within his skin. At this moment, his whole body seemed to be going through a tremendous change.
Within this superb Dragon-Phoenix Pool, the water level of the golden waters in the pool was continuously decreasing. It was also at this time that the originally bright golden light began to dull. Clearly, it was due to Mu Chen’s considerable absorption of the Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essence, which was contained within it.
Cai Xiao, who stood outside the Dragon-Phoenix Pool, looked at the pool. Along with the continuous decline of the water level, the shadow of Mu Chen, who was originally sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the pool, could also be faintly seen. Judging by this sight, it seemed that Mu Chen’s training had not yet come to an end.
“Even the Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essence within this Dragon-Phoenix Pool is unable to support the formation of the Dragon-Phoenix Body,” Cai Xiao mumbled to herself.
Soon after, she knit her long, shapely eyebrows and pondered slightly. Then, with a grip of her lily-white hands, a Dragon-Phoenix Fruit, which was interlaced with a dragon and phoenix, appeared in a flash. The bright light that erupted resembled a small sun.
The amount of Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essence that was required to cultivate the Dragon-Phoenix Body slightly exceeded Cai Xiao’s expectations. If she allowed this to go on, then perhaps it would be impossible for Mu Chen’s training to reach the perfect level.
This was because the moment the Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essence runs out, he would then have to automatically stop his cultivation as well. If he lost this chance, it would be extremely difficult for him to get to this point again. Thus, at this moment, Cai Xiao took out a Dragon-Phoenix Fruit resolutely.
“I’m actually allowing you to have this advantage.”
