Chapter 276 Dou Sheng Essence Blood, Eight-Star Dou Zong

Memories from the original work flashed through Shen Wen's mind.

In the original work, this thing was ultimately obtained by Zi Yan.

The emperor of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, after consuming the dragon phoenix origin fruit,

directly evolved into the one and only Dragon Phoenix in history. His power skyrocketed, becoming one of the strongest combatants under Xiao Yan's command.

However, he remembered that the dragon phoenix origin fruit wasn't obtained here.

But on second thought, perhaps back when the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix still existed, this thing was difficult to find, but not extremely rare.

The reason it wasn't discovered here was probably that those who could find it didn't come looking, and those who couldn't find it wouldn't be able to find it even if they descended, only to be shredded by the spatial forces.

Shen Wen looked at the gold and purple intertwined fruit before him, then at the two intertwined corpses, and finally at the pool of blood below.

No wonder the Tianmu Mountain Range has an Energy Tide every three years.

No wonder the Tianshan Blood Pool can allow Peak Dou Huang to break through to Douzong.

The source of all this is here.

After the two Dousheng-level existences perished, the power within their bodies did not completely dissipate. Instead, it would leak out a trace through some method at regular intervals.

After being diluted over a long period of time, it ultimately formed the Tianshan Blood Pool outside.

And this dragon phoenix origin fruit is the fruit born from the final life and Bloodline of these two ancient existences.

"Interesting."

A faint smile tugged at the corner of Shen Wen's mouth, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

His original target for this trip was only the Gold-Devouring Rat Clan. He never expected to accidentally discover a treasure of this level.

The dragon phoenix origin fruit...

Zi Yan's delicate and naive little face appeared in his mind.

That girl is currently only a Douhuang, but she possesses the royal Bloodline of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, with limitless potential.

If she could consume this dragon phoenix origin fruit, inheriting the Bloodlines of both the Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix...

Just thinking about that scene made Shen Wen find it amusing.

"That girl is getting a bargain."

He chuckled, raised his hand, and waved. An invisible spatial force surged out, carefully digging up the dragon phoenix origin fruit along with the surrounding soil and storing it in his spatial ring.

As for that pool of blood...

This is also a treasure.

The essence blood of two Dousheng-level existences, gathered into a pool over the long years. The energy contained within is vast enough to make any powerhouse covet it.

However, for ordinary magical beasts, refining and absorbing this would likely require an extremely long time.

Shen Wen's gaze swept across this space, and understanding dawned in his heart.

No wonder most of the magical beasts that have reproduced here carry the Bloodline of dragon or phoenix descendants.

They have lived in this space for generations, subtly nourished by the aura of this essence blood. Over time, their Bloodlines naturally mutated.

For humans, this essence blood is even more difficult to handle.

The essence blood of magical beasts is inherently violent, let alone that of ancient Dousheng-level existences.

If absorbed directly, nine times out of ten, one would be overwhelmed by the beastly nature contained within, their mind shattered and their body exploding.

It can only be used for Alchemy.

Using gentle medicinal power to neutralize the violent factors, extracting the essence bit by bit.

But Shen Wen was different.

He had the devouring ancestral talisman, and the Great Dao Treasure Vase.

These two things specialize in countering this kind of violent energy.

Shen Wen no longer hesitated. He raised his hand and waved. The Dou Qi within his body surged forth like a tide.

The Great Dao Treasure Vase took shape above his head. The mouth of the vase faced downward, and a pitch-black vortex slowly rotated at its opening, emitting a terrifying suction force that seemed to devour everything.

At the same time, the devouring ancestral talisman and the Space Ancestral Symbol in his palm lit up simultaneously.

Silver-gray spatial power and dark, devouring power intertwined, transforming into an invisible chain that probed into the pool of blood.

The next moment, the blood pool boiled.

The gold and purple essence blood, as if drawn by a force, transformed into two torrents, swirling upward towards the Great Dao Treasure Vase.

Faint dragon roars and phoenix cries could be heard from within the essence blood. It was the residual will of the two Dousheng resisting.

But under the dual suppression of the devouring ancestral talisman and the Great Dao Treasure Vase, this resistance couldn't cause even a ripple.

In a moment, the entire pool of blood was completely sucked dry by the Great Dao Treasure Vase.

Shen Wen sat down cross-legged. The treasure vase inverted, its mouth aimed at himself.

A stream of energy, refined to the extreme, descended from the sky and poured into his body.

The moment that energy entered his body, it was like hot oil meeting fire, instantly exploding.

The domineering nature of the Ancient Void Dragon and the ethereal nature of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix. Two completely different Bloodline forces wildly clashed within his body, vying for dominance.

But Shen Wen was prepared.

The devouring ancestral talisman lit up within his body, enveloping his entire form in a dark light.

Those violent Bloodline forces were forcibly suppressed, decomposed, and transformed into the purest source energy, flowing along his Meridians.

At the same time, he activated the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art, fully stimulating the power of the Azure Dragon Body.

On the surface of his body, purplish-blue scales began to appear.

These scales were different from before. They were finer, denser. Each scale had faint runic light flowing on it, emitting an ancient and majestic aura.

Originally, when he cultivated the Azure Dragon Body, he used the essence blood of the Ancient Void Dragon as a catalyst, strengthening his Physical Body to the extreme.

But although his body was strong, his head had never fully transformed into a dragon.

That required a higher level of Bloodline Power, a purer dragon Origin.

And now, with the essence blood of these two Dousheng, everything was no longer a problem.

Time passed minute by minute, second by second.

The light on Shen Wen's body grew brighter. Those purplish-blue scales began to spread towards his head.

First the neck, then the jaw, then the cheeks, and finally the forehead.

The moment the last scale joined at the center of his brow, Shen Wen's entire person seemed to transform into a humanoid dragon.

He suddenly opened his eyes. Two beams of purplish-gold light shot out from his eyes, piercing straight into the sky.

The Heavenly Dragon Qi within his body was completely refined at this moment, perfectly merging with the Azure Dragon Body, without the slightest bit of stagnation.

Not only that, but on those purplish-blue scales covering his body, deeper patterns began to appear.

Those patterns were bluish-gold. As they twisted and wound, they looked like countless miniature true dragons swimming.

Azure Light Dragon Patterns.

The next step of the Azure Dragon Body.

Shen Wen could clearly feel that the strength of his Physical Body at this moment was at least twice as strong as before.

Part of the energy contained within the Dousheng essence blood was used to strengthen his Physical Body. Another part surged into his energy sea, transforming into the purest Dou Qi.

His aura began to skyrocket.

Six-Star Dou Zong Peak.

Seven-Star Dou Zong.

Seven-Star Dou Zong Peak.

Eight-Star Douzong.

It only began to slow down after rushing to the mid-stage of Eight-Star Douzong.

Shen Wen opened his eyes, sensing the surging and powerful force within his body. A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

But immediately, he calmed his mind, forcibly suppressing the impulse to continue breaking through.

That Dousheng essence blood was far from being consumed.

With the residual energy still within his body, if he continued absorbing it, reaching Nine-Star Douzong or even Douzun wouldn't be a problem.

But doing so would be more loss than gain.

A sudden surge of too much power would lead to unstable Dou Qi and an unsteady Foundation.

Although he could challenge those above his level, it relied on his solid Foundation and perfect control over power.

If his Foundation was unstable, his combat power would inevitably be greatly reduced.

More loss than gain.
