Behind the platform, the space grew turbulent. Countless streams of light whizzed past. like a meteor shooting star, creating a gorgeous scene.

Within each of the light streams, there were droplets of Thunder Marrows, which were the source of Mu Chen and the others’ greedy eyes. In ancient times, it was said that many mythical beasts would use the Thunder Marrow droplets for cultivation, in order to make their bodies as strong as diamonds, or even indestructible.

However, the Thunder Marrow was extremely rare. In the Great Thousand World today, even if you could find it in some large auction house, its price was ridiculous and it would be bid on within seconds. Thus, it was very hard for ordinary people to get it.

At the moment, what appeared in front of Mu Chen and others was an overwhelming amount of Thunder Marrow droplets. They could not even resist the excitement in their hearts.

“Is this the opportunity, which was granted to us upon our acquiring the last five spots?” Mu Chen licked his lips. If they could pass through this space smoothly, it would mean a Thunder Marrow baptism for them, which would grant them an unimaginable level of cultivation!

The Body-refining Tower was full of rare opportunities for them to cultivate their bodies. To outsiders, Mu Chen had spent only a half day’s time in the tower. However, the sophistication that his body had already obtained was more comparable to an entire year’s worth of hard work!

“No wonder the amount of powerful people gathered in the Land of the Divine Beasts comprises one-third of the whole Divine Beasts Continent….” Mu Chen sighed. With such unique conditions of cultivation, it was no wonder that the qualities and quantities of the powerful people were relatively high.

Zoom!

At the moment Mu Chen sighed, the thunder clouds below their knees began to shake. It then carried them slowly to the space that was full of light streams.

Mu Chen and others were stunned. Then, with their eyes blazing, they quickly adjusted themselves.

Zoom!

As five thunder clouds carried five of them through the space, light streams whizzed by them, coming from all directions. The Thunder Marrows within the light streams brought out the excitement within them.

Han Shan was the first one to act. He immediately turned his palm into a claw, forcing a fierce pulling force to grab one of the light streams, then immediately locking on. The light stream suddenly shifted its direction, then flew towards him like a meteor.

Han Shan grinned. He spread his arms to absorb the power from the light stream, without using any spiritual power. He knew that a mysterious item like Thunder Marrow could not be contaminated by spiritual power.

There was only one thing that could contain its power, which was the true flesh of bodies. Therefore, to absorb the Thunder Marrows, one would have to catch it with his body.

Bang!

The light stream eventually blasted on Han Shan’s chest, causing a low sound to suddenly arise. The blast caused a few blood holes on his chest, which had thunder clusters inside of them. The thunder clusters then quickly integrated into his flesh and blood.

Han Shan’s face was distorted, as he was obviously suffering from extreme pain. When the Thunder Marrow entered his body, it would melt his flesh and blood, bit by bit.

The twisted agony on Han Shan’s face continued for half an hour, before it gradually faded away. When he finally awoke, he was sweating, and the blaze in his eyes had faded a lot. Apparently, the pain that the Thunder Marrows brought was not something an ordinary person could handle.

This only further proved that Han Shan had an extraordinary perseverance and strong will within him. However, he could only continue to absorb the Thunder Marrows after his body was allowed a slight cooldown.

At the same time, Mu Chen, Mo Feng, and the other two guys began to absorb the Thunder Marrows, too. Their results were the same as Han Shan’s. The extraordinary pain caused their faces to twist, and all of them shook as the Thunder Marrows entered their bodies.

While they were waiting for the pain to go away, Mo Feng and the others had haunted looks. However, Mu Chen was the exception. When he opened his eyes, there was a weird light ray that passed through his black pupils.

He lowered his head and looked at his chest. The blood holes were rapidly recovering, and the wounded area was being covered with silver lights. These were the results from the fusion of Thunder Marrows and his body’s flesh!

Mu Chen could clearly feel that the area on his body that had absorbed the Thunder Marrows was more tenacious and strong than any of the other parts of his body. However, it was not these changes that raised the pastoral thoughts within Mu Chen’s mind. Instead, it was the moment when it first entered his body that he could clearly feel that almost the entire force of the Thunder Marrow was absorbed by the Dragon-Phoenix mark under his skin!

Mu Chen looked at his arms and the Dragon-Phoenix mark that was entrenched there. Silently, he could feel that the mark was now extremely active and was showing a sense of desire for more. The mark on his arms was eager for more of the power!

“You don’t feel enough, do you?”

Mu Chen mumbled to himself. He finally could feel how difficult it was to cultivate the Dragon-Phoenix mark. Ever since he started cultivating the mark, he had never slacked off. He had even invested a lot of resources into it, but he still could not bring it to the next level.

According to Mu Chen’s estimation, if he could not break through the cultivation level of the Dragon-Phoenix Scripture in this tower, it would require another year. This was a tremendous discouragement for Mu Chen. What he lacked the most now was time!
