But before he could heave a sigh of relief, the bead began to strengthen his blood, marrow, bones, and physique. Shen Yuan's body trembled violently as the Dragonbone Essence Bead erupted with overwhelming energy, surging wildly through every inch of him.
His blood boiled fiercely, purified repeatedly by the draconic energies, scorching impurities until nothing but the purest essence remained.
Each drop of blood seed infused with an ancient draconic aura, filled with an unparalleled vitality and imnse spiritual power.
Next, the energy drilled into his bones, forcing them to crack and reform, becoming sturdier and denser. His skeleton radiated subtle golden hues, imbued with a draconic strength that made him feel as if he could crush mountains with a casual gesture.
The agonizing process moved on relentlessly to his marrow, purging it fiercely. His marrow churned, releasing minuscule amounts of impurities that vanished instantly, replaced by dense marrow radiating a pristine glow. This marrow began producing fresh, powerful blood infused with the essence of dragons.
Shen Yuan clenched his teeth tightly, his brow covered in cold sweat. Even with his imnse ntal fortitude and experience, the sheer intensity was overwhelming.
Soon, the Dragonbone Essence Bead's energy penetrated deeper into his physique. Every muscle fiber tore apart and regenerated repeatedly, each iteration making them stronger and more resilient.
His physical strength soared exponentially, his Primal Harmony Physique, False Chaos Physique, Purity Physique, Chaotic Vessel Physique, and Soulforge Physique all resonating profoundly, strengthening his physiques' power even further.
"Just how much further can my physique strengthen?" Shen Yuan wondered, astonished as he felt new boundaries of his physical abilities rapidly erging and then shattering again, soaring ever higher.
Slowly, the terrifying torrent of draconic energy began to settle, gradually becoming gentler and coming under his control, finally converging toward Shen Yuan's dantian.
As the energy receded, Shen Yuan discovered sothing startling—a single drop of golden blood suspended serenely within his dantian. It pulsed softly with a mysterious, imnse power far surpassing the energy that had flowed through him.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations! Your body, marrow, bones, blood, and physique have reached unprecedented heights due to Dragonbone Essence Bead's fierce tempering!]
[A drop of True Dragon Essence Blood has been absorbed in your dantian from the bead, significantly enhancing your affinity with draconic abilities, trendously bolstering your physical prowess, and granting draconic defensive capabilities.]
Shen Yuan observed the drop of True Dragon Blood Essence with astonishnt, "A drop of True Dragon Blood Essence…how rare. It alone surpassed all the strengthening I have gone through by now."
He closed and opened his fist, feeling the surging physical strength; it had nearly reached the sa level as his Qi cultivation. But there was still a gap that stemd from the absurd amount of Qi and the purity it had.
Yue Lan softly chuckled,
[Yuan'er, you did get the drop of True Blood, but will you be able to rge with it?]
Shen Yuan thought carefully about her words, quickly reaching a conclusion, "My bloodline…"
[Exactly! Will your Bloodline allow another bloodline to exist in your body?]
"Haa…" he sighed, "I will think about it later. If I rember correctly, it said 1/3 beads. So I should be able to collect two more here. Anyways, for now, I need to continue strengthening myself."
While saying that, he took out another treasure—Golden Feather Fla that was inside an orb. He felt srized looking at the golden flas surrounding the feather.
"Let's see what it can do." Taking a deep breath, he broke the orb, keeping the energy of the feather inside. BOOM!
The Golden Feather Fla erupted with dazzling brilliance. Golden flas surged wildly, blazing with peak Nascent Soul Stage intensity, threatening to consu his entire being.
"Argh—!" Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, his eyes widening in pain as the fierce fla aggressively burrowed into his body, spreading a scorching heat that he could barely withstand.
Sweat poured down his forehead, his body instantly engulfed in fiery agony. He felt the flas in his body for a split second and verified that his current body, even after being tempered by the Dragonbone Essence Bead, wasn't strong enough to directly absorb a Mid King Grade fla at its peak power.
"Now let's add that," Shen Yuan tried to calm down and softly whispered, quickly grabbing the Frost Jade Lotus Seed from his spatial ring.
Without hesitation, he swallowed the seed whole. A cool and calming sensation spread through his body imdiately, swiftly clashing with the overwhelming heat from the Golden Feather Fla.
Yet, the Frost Jade Lotus Seed was a step below the Golden Feather Fla, only a Low King Grade item—it struggled fiercely against the powerful golden flas.
The cold Qi released by the seed barely managed to suppress a portion of the burning energy, leaving Shen Yuan's body teetering dangerously between blazing agony and freezing numbness.
'Now the physiques.' He gritted his teeth, quickly activating his physique.
'Chaotic Vessel Physique!' he shouted inwardly, activating it without delay. Imdiately, his ridians expanded, becoming strong and resilient enough to handle the chaotic battle between ice and fire energies.
"Primal Harmony Physique!" He simultaneously activated his Primal Harmony Physique, greatly stabilizing his internal Qi and forcefully flowing the fiery and icy Qi in harmony, reducing the violent internal conflict.
The internal chaos slightly stabilized, but it was still insufficient to fully ta the unruly Golden Feather Fla. His Qi began showing signs of instability once again.
Shen Yuan quickly pulled out his Pure Heart Fla from his Dantian, trying to rge it directly with the Golden Feather Fla.
He circulated the Radiant Lotus Cultivation Art, a gentle, radiant light spreading throughout his body, together with his regenerative ability, healing the microscopic injuries caused by the continuous internal struggle.
This healing allowed him to withstand the brutal process and remain conscious.
The situation gradually improved, but still teetered dangerously on the edge. The flas refused to rge with each other, trying to gain supremacy. Shen Yuan's brows knitted tightly as he rapidly contemplated a solution.
Suddenly, his eyes brightened with determination. "False Chaos Physique!"
His False Chaos Physique erupted powerfully, sucking all three energies inside his main dantian before forming a pseudo-domain. This domain rapidly forced the three opposing elents to calm down, trying to balance all of them.
The chaotic fluctuations finally slowed down significantly, giving him a chance to breathe.
At last, both types of flas and frost Qi fully rged under his imnse effort, slowly creating a delicate blooming lotus flower in the middle of his Dantian.
Shen Yuan let out a long sigh of relief, his tense muscles relaxing slightly. "That was far too dangerous…"
Yue Lan sighed in relief as well, softly scolding him,
[Yuan'er, you almost roasted yourself alive!]
He laughed weakly, shaking his head, "Gotta do what I gotta do to survive."
[Ding!]
[Congratulations! You have successfully integrated the Golden Feather Fla, Pure Heart Fla, and Frost Jade Lotus Seed into a new type of fla!]
[Congratulations, host, for acquiring the Heavenly Fla: Nirvanic Icefire Lotus Fla]
[Fire Qi significantly strengthened; purity and power have soared drastically.]
[Ice affinity significantly increased; your body has beco resilient to extre ice elental Qi fluctuations.]
Shen Yuan looked at the prompts in interest, "Nirvanic Icefire Lotus Fla…so a dual elental fla. This increased my Fire Qi destructive power by far too much."
