Chapter 145: Refining Cultivation, Devouring the Undying Flame
Chapter 145: Refining Cultivation, Devouring the Undying Flame
Feeling the turbulent power within his body at this moment, Gu He examined his current condition, and after a while, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
The Bone-Marrows Cleansing Liquid refined from the Millennium Earth's Core Milk was truly extraordinary in its medicinal effects. He could feel that the strength of his physical body had significantly increased.
In truth, Gu He's original physical strength was not lacking. After all, it had been tempered by the Heavenly Flame and further enhanced through the Flame Refining Body Technique within the Fire God's Technique. In the Dou Zong realm, Gu He's physical strength was already top-notch.
He didn't intend to continue refining the Bone-Marrows Cleansing Liquid with the remaining seventeen bottles. With his current physical strength, continuing the refinement would not yield significant improvements, rendering it pointless.
"Next, let's continue to enhance my cultivation."
Afterward, Gu He contacted the system directly with a thought and silently said, "System, extract fifteen years of cultivation!"
As his words fell, the energy sphere suspended in the void within the system space transformed into a beam of light and shot directly into Gu He's body.
Gu He hadn't reacted yet when he felt a massive surge of energy entering his body. This power was incredibly turbulent, like a surging river, raging and billowing.
"Boom!"
A faint muffled sound erupted inside Gu He's body, and a flush of red appeared on his face.
The energy contained within the energy sphere exploded within Gu He's body, causing his entire body to tremble slightly.
Sensing the changes within his body, Gu He quickly realized the situation and, without any hesitation, immediately used the Flame Refining Technique to absorb this immense energy.
The moment this energy came into contact with him, Gu He's complexion changed. This energy was far more enormous than he had anticipated.
Gu He had thought that, with the increased strength of his physical body, he should be able to refine this power calmly. However, at this moment, these energies, like unbridled wild horses, rampaged violently through his body, surging and rushing through his meridians, causing excruciating pain.
"I underestimated these energies."
At this moment, Gu He's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face distorted completely in agony.
However, although he was in pain, Gu He quickly accepted it. With his previous experience of integrating energy, he thought he was familiar with it and should be able to bear it easily.
This energy was brimming with a destructive force. As it passed through, the muscles throughout Gu He's body twitched slightly.
"I need to suppress this energy first."
Gu He's handsome face became stern. His long hair, which reached his waist, danced wildly. The aura that radiated from him was incredibly dominant. He then emitted a shocking purple light from his eyes.
Countless substantial purple flames emerged within his body as he controlled them to collide forcefully with that wild energy in his body, shattering it into pieces.
Seeing this, Gu He let out a sigh of relief and looked at the powerful energy, which was now scattered. "The next step is to refine this energy, but it will probably take some time."
Gu He then closed his eyes, focused his mind, and wholeheartedly began to refine the energy within his body.
The dim cave gradually became extremely quiet.
In the mountainous terrain, low growls sounded as if they came from the depths of hell, echoing through the vast land.
The earth trembled, and the sky shook. Terrifying magical beasts occasionally prowled, rampaging wildly, emanating a frightening aura. These unruly auras caused chaos in this region.
Inside the cave, pearls of light illuminated the surroundings.
In the cave, a figure sat cross-legged, calm and poised. A surging and domineering force vibrated within his body, tearing apart his flesh, impacting his bones, muscles, and meridians, and then rupturing and recondensing them. This was a process of destruction and rebirth. At every moment, his body was gradually growing stronger, and the Dou Qi within the Dou Crystal in his body was expanding at an exaggerated speed.
At this moment, the man suddenly opened his closed eyes, and at that instant, two entirely different auras split apart from him.
However, these two sharp auras dissipated quickly. The man's face was extremely handsome, and he appeared quite young. Yet, there was an unfamiliar depth in his eyes.
Feeling the power in his body gradually stabilize, Gu He muttered to himself, "Five-Star Dou Ancestor."
"Master is becoming more terrifying!"
At the cave entrance, the loyal Little Jin felt the aura inadvertently emanating from Gu He's body. Shock appeared in his golden eyes.
After completing the absorption of fifteen years of cultivation, Gu He did not intend to stop there.
With a thought, a blood-red crystal appeared in front of him, and a scorching aura assaulted him. "Next, it's your turn,"
Watching the Phoenix Bloodstone in front of him, Gu He's eyes gleamed with determination.
In the next moment, Gu He slowly raised his head, and the boundless purple flames instantly enveloped the Phoenix Bloodstone.
Buzz! As the purple flames came into contact with the Phoenix Bloodstone, the previously calm stone seemed to sense danger and began to vibrate violently.
As the Phoenix Bloodstone vibrated, a thick blood mist suddenly emanated from it, shrouding the Phoenix Bloodstone. At the same time, it kept the purple flames at bay, preventing the Phoenix Bloodstone from being refined.
Seeing this scene, Gu He's eyes showed surprise. What was this blood mist? How could it resist the refinement of his own Life Essence Divine Fire? After all, his Life Essence Divine Fire was originally condensed from a different fire. What gave this blood mist the power to resist the erosion of a different fire?
Gu He thought that his Life Essence Divine Fire would easily break through this resistance, but now, he realized it wouldn't be that simple. To his amazement, the blood mist proved to be formidable.
Thinking this, Gu He increased the intensity of his Life Essence Divine Fire to exert more force on the Phoenix Bloodstone.
After half an hour, the blood mist surrounding the Phoenix Bloodstone had weakened significantly. It seemed that the blood mist was unable to withstand the refinement of a different fire.
However, just as Gu He's Life Essence Divine Fire was about to break through the last layer of defense, a clear phoenix cry suddenly sounded from the Phoenix Bloodstone.
With the phoenix cry, a fiery phoenix illusion suddenly appeared on the Phoenix Bloodstone.
Seeing this unusual phenomenon, Gu He frowned and had a bad feeling. In the next moment, the Phoenix Bloodstone exploded.
Instantly, an endless sea of crimson light flooded Gu He's vision. The entire cave was now enveloped in a thick blood mist.
Afterward, the blood mist from all directions began to converge towards Gu He.
Then, the blood mist forcibly entered Gu He's body through his pores.
Gu He's face twisted in pain as an intense burning sensation spread throughout his body. He realized that these ancient Phoenix Blood mists were incredibly dangerous.
Each strand of energy in the blood mist was almost on par with a King-level expert.
Gu He felt overwhelmed by the terrifying blood mist surrounding him. He knew his body could be crushed by the pressure, and the real problem was the blood mist entering his body.
After a brief moment, Gu He understood he had to quickly refine this blood mist, or his life essence and energy would be devoured.
He activated the Life Essence Divine Fire, and powerful Dou Qi surged out of his Dou Crystal. However, to his shock, the blood mist resisted his attacks and turned into fiery flames. These flames were even hotter and devoured his Dou Qi and blood, causing an unbearable burning sensation.
Gu He realized that these blood mists were far more formidable than he had anticipated.
In a moment of desperation, Gu He activated his Life Essence Divine Fire with full power. He controlled the purple flames to attack the blood mist within his body.
Despite his efforts, the blood mist fires resisted fiercely. The flames multiplied and expanded in his body, causing immense pain.
Gu He realized that these fires were burning not only his body but also his energy, his blood, and his essence. This pain was agonizing and relentless.
Gu He clenched his teeth and endured the pain. He couldn't afford to show any weakness because he knew that speaking would allow the blood mist to infiltrate him even more.
These ancient Phoenix Blood mists were too formidable. The lingering will of the Phoenix contained within them was incredibly powerful, and each strand of energy was as strong as a King-level expert.
Gu He struggled to stay conscious as the relentless pain continued. He was determined not to give up this unique opportunity.
He had no choice but to use his Life Essence Divine Fire to fight back. The battle within his body raged on, and his body was undergoing a profound transformation.
Gradually, his skin began to emit a strange and crimson light. The transformation was turning his body into something entirely different.
