Chapter 477 Breakthrough Phenomenon
Chapter 477 Breakthrough Phenomenon
The wind blew, stirring up sand and dust from the ground.
Yun Chen, dressed in a green robe, stood quietly amidst the sandstorm, his hands clasped behind his back.
His black hair danced wildly in the wind, and his incomparably handsome face seemed to have been carved with a knife and axe, with distinct features, like a masterpiece of a sculptor, breathtaking.
"Come on! Let me take you to get your wounds treated first."
Yun Chen withdrew his gaze from the distance, where Tang Siyu's desperate wails had become barely audible and finally dissipated completely in the wind.
What's more terrifying than death itself is the process of waiting to die.
Let her enjoy the process.
He turned around and looked at the golden python with a single horn lying prostrate on the ground beside him.
At this moment, the golden python's original wounds seemed to have deepened due to its hard-hitting the sword formation and assisting in the battle. Its dark golden scales were curled up, and its aura was slightly weak.
"Ouch!"
The golden python looked at Yun Chen and let out a low growl, seemingly feeling very aggrieved.
"Alright, don't feel aggrieved. I'll heal your wounds. Following me... you won't be short of benefits."
Yun Chen looked at it, smiled, and then reached out and gently pressed his hand on the golden python's massive head.
The Nascent Soul Technique was activated, and then a gentle and mellow aura of dragon bloodline, along with pure spiritual energy, slowly flowed into the golden python's body.
The golden python let out a comfortable, low whimper, its massive head nuzzling against Yun Chen's hand in a pleading manner. The ferocity in its vertical pupils vanished, leaving only docility and dependence.
It could sense that the aura its master brought not only helped it recover from its injuries, but also greatly benefited the faint trace of dragon blood within it.
"Let's go, let's find a place to heal our wounds first."
Yun Chen patted its head, his gaze sweeping over the desolate and dangerous Meteor Ruins.
He must recover his strength as soon as possible and restore his newly acquired companions to their fighting power so that he can better survive in this dangerous place and find Zhao Xiruo and Elder Lei.
Tang Siyu's appearance indicates that the people from Taixu Palace have also entered Meteor Ruins.
But it's unclear how many have come in; he needs to prepare in advance.
Fortunately, they managed to subdue the golden python. As a native of Meteorite Ruins, having it with them would at least prevent them from facing many dangers.
Moreover, it might even come in handy at crucial moments.
He leaped and landed lightly on the broad back of the golden python.
The golden python understood, and its massive body began to move, its speed not slowing down at all. Carrying Yun Chen, it transformed into a golden streak of light and sped towards a relatively hidden area in the Star Ruins, where many large fragments of star debris remained.
A moment later, Yun Chen stopped in a depression naturally formed by several massive pieces of star debris.
This place is sheltered on three sides, making it relatively easy to defend.
He first took out several bottles of healing pills from Tang Siyu's storage ring, took some for himself, and then threw the other pills, which contained abundant blood and qi, into the golden python's open mouth.
He then sat cross-legged, formed hand seals, and began to circulate his internal energy, guiding the medicinal power to repair his injuries while absorbing the thin yet exceptionally pure and ancient stellar energy from the surrounding space.
The golden python with a single horn coiled near the entrance, like the most loyal guardian, digesting the power of the elixir while vigilantly watching for any movement in the outside world.
The scales on its body, nourished by spiritual energy, are slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Time passes slowly in silence.
A faint crimson-gold aura surrounded Yun Chen, and the phantom of the dragon soul appeared and disappeared. His aura gradually became steady and long.
The battle with Tang Siyu and the other two, especially the use of the Dragon Soul power, although brief, took a toll on his already injured body.
However, after this period of recuperation, his injuries are steadily improving. In fact, due to the activity of the dragon soul and the absorption of the power of the stars, he even feels that the golden core in his body is showing signs of breaking out of its cocoon and transforming into an infant.
He had the feeling of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage during the previous ranking matches, but he forcibly suppressed it because Nascent Soul cultivators were not allowed to participate in the ranking matches.
But now that we've entered the secret realm, there's no need to worry anymore.
But... I don't know if it's safe.
"Ah Jin, what if someone suddenly barges in here?"
Thinking of this, Yun Chen couldn't help but look at the golden python with a single horn at the entrance.
"Ouch!"
The golden python shook its head, expressing its will, and at the same time let out a low growl.
Yun Chen, now connected to it in spirit, instantly understood its meaning.
"This is actually your territory?"
Yun Chen shook his head and chuckled, realizing he had actually forgotten that demonic beasts had territories.
Powerful demonic beasts generally have their own exclusive territories. In fact, this applies not only to demonic beasts but also to wild animals in the mortal world.
I was only concerned with being brought here by the golden python with a single horn, and I didn't think about the concept of territory.
"Then you stay here and guard this place. No one is allowed to disturb me. I need to break through."
"Ouch!"
The golden python let out a low growl, its massive head slamming heavily to the ground, its vertical pupils flashing with unwavering determination and loyalty.
Seeing the golden python's response, Yun Chen felt somewhat relieved.
Without further hesitation, he closed his eyes again, his mind completely sinking into his body.
With the technique fully activated, the crimson-gold aura surrounding his body suddenly intensified.
He no longer suppressed the surging spiritual power within his body, guiding it like rivers flowing into the sea, frantically converging towards the golden core in his dantian, which was spinning rapidly and covered with mysterious patterns.
"Om-"
The golden core trembled violently, emitting a clear and melodious hum, and its surface shone brightly, as if a miniature sun was rising within his dantian.
The already incredibly pure spiritual energy was further compressed and purified.
The golden core began to expand at a visible rate, and the mysterious patterns on its surface seemed to come alive, twisting and rearranging, vaguely outlining the shape of a small, seated figure.
At the same time, the dragon soul phantom behind Yun Chen also appeared on its own, and it was more solid than ever before.
A golden dragon, several meters long, coiled and danced, roaring silently to the sky. An uncontrollable dragon might originating from the ancient primordial era spread out, intertwining with the aura of Yun Chen's own breakthrough.
This is just the beginning.
As the process of transforming the Golden Core into the Nascent Soul progressed, strange phenomena suddenly appeared above Yun Chen's head.
The already dim and fragmented starry sky seemed to be stirred up by an invisible hand.
Countless tiny points of starlight were drawn in from all directions, converging to form a dazzling nebula vortex that slowly rotated.
The center of the vortex is directly opposite where Yun Chen is located.
What's even more chilling is that the dragon's might, stirred by the phantom of the dragon soul, resonated with a certain residual will of the Meteorite Ruins.
In the dim light, it seemed as if ancient gods were whispering, and the mournful cries of falling stars were echoing.
Countless beams of starlight, visible to the naked eye, mixed with pale golden dragon energy, descended like the Milky Way from the heavens, forcefully pouring into the top of the sky above the clouds.
"boom--!"
An indescribable, overwhelming aura erupted from the center of the clouds and dust.
The ground beneath him trembled slightly, and the surrounding star debris rustled under this force, with some smaller pieces even turning into dust.
A crimson-gold light shot into the sky, connecting with the nebula vortex in the heavens to form a pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth, appearing dazzlingly bright in this dark starry wasteland.
