891: Chapter 892 Begins Refining

Time quietly slipped away in extreme concentration. Beads of sweat rolled down Yao Delong's forehead, only to be instantly evaporated. His spirit was highly focused; he dared not show the slightest slack. Three full days, without rest!

Finally, as the first light of dawn on the third day penetrated the special crystal of the quiet room, the last indestructible Black Tortoise shell completely transformed into a liquid as heavy as mercury, shimmering with an earthy yellow hue, in the gray-white Flame of Annihilation.

Nine masses of medicinal liquid, each distinct in form but all refined to the extreme and exuding terrifying energy fluctuations, quietly floated above the xuanhuang creation cauldron, like nine miniature stars.

"Hoo..." A long breath escaped Yao Delong's lips, filled with deep exhaustion, yet his gaze was as sharp as lightning.

"Next, liquid Fusion!" He clapped his hands together suddenly!

The nine divided Essence Fires suddenly rolled back, re-converging into the gorgeous and dreamlike Glazed Hearth Fire Ontology. The volume of the flame didn't increase much, but its power multiplied geometrically, and the space in the quiet room twisted even more violently, as if it would be burned through at any moment!

Yao Delong's Divine Thought was now condensed to the extreme, transforming into billions of invisible threads thinner than hair, carefully guiding the nine medicinal liquids, whose attributes clashed and energies were violent, to slowly approach the core of the Glazed Hearth Fire.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—Bang!

The moment the medicinal liquids touched, a violent energy conflict erupted instantly! A chaotic energy storm exploded above the cauldron's mouth, various colored lights flashed wildly, and a destructive aura permeated the air! Xue Shushu's heart was in her throat, her fingertips condensing Primordial Spirit power, almost unable to resist intervening to suppress it.

"Suppress!" Yao Delong's eyes were like torches, and he let out a Dao sound as if from ancient times.

Om!

The xuanhuang creation cauldron shook violently, countless profound runes appeared on its body, and heavy Xuanhuang Qi descended, like the mother Qi of the earth, forcibly binding and suppressing the chaotic and violent energy storm back into the cauldron's mouth! The Glazed Hearth Fire's light surged, acting like the core of a furnace, beginning to forcibly smelt and harmonize the nine untamed medicinal essences.

This was a long, painstaking process of Fusion. Yao Delong's Divine Thought was ceaseless, constantly perceiving every subtle change in the medicinal properties, guiding them to slowly converge, penetrate, and fuse according to the ultimate truth comprehended at the Perfection Realm of Herbal Path Comprehension.

A medicinal fragrance began to permeate the air, no longer the scent of a single spiritual material, but an indescribable Dao fragrance, as if containing the Reincarnation of life and death and the profound mysteries of creation. Smelling it made one's heart tremble, and even one's Divine Soul seemed to ascend with it. Inside the cauldron, colorful lights flowed, and faint Dragon and Phoenix phantoms, along with plant spirits, appeared and vanished.

Xue Shushu had already sat cross-legged, adjusting her state to its Peak, enveloped by a faint nine-colored halo. Her gaze was fixed on the increasingly solid energy vortex above the cauldron's mouth, which emitted a strange suction. Between her jade fingers, a drop of Essence Blood, sparkling like a blood diamond, imbued with the supreme aura of a sovereign and rich Bloodline affinity, was ready to be unleashed. Success or failure depended on the next moment!

Another three days flew by!

The energy vortex in the cauldron, under the unceasing refinement of the Glazed Hearth Fire day and night and Yao Delong's ultimate guidance of Divine Thought, finally stabilized completely. The nine violent medicinal powers were forcibly blended, forming a fist-sized mass of chaotic, flowing, nine-orificed, strange liquid that pulsed faintly as if alive!

An indescribably vast vitality and profound Divine Soul power permeated from it. Just a wisp of its escaped aura made Xue Shushu feel that her Realm barrier, which had been stagnant for many years, seemed to loosen slightly! At the same time, a destructive Qi that made heaven and earth tremble was also furiously brewing within it!

Yao Delong suddenly opened his eyes, golden light surging within them like two small suns. His voice, carrying an unquestionable resolve, pierced through the roar of the cauldron, which was furiously brewing terrifying energy, and went straight into Xue Shushu's mind:

"Fellow Daoist Sishu! This is the moment! Use Essence Blood to guide the Soul and inject it into the Elixir Orifices!"

Xue Shushu moved at his command, without the slightest hesitation!

"Pfft!"

She bent a finger and pressed hard on her Tanzhong acupoint on her chest, and a shocking crimson instantly seeped from her fingertip! A drop of Essence Blood, condensed from the Yao Emperor Origin and containing supreme Bloodline affinity, was forcibly expelled by her!

Om—!

The moment the Essence Blood left her body, the entire quiet room seemed to be cast into solidified amber! A terrifying Divine Might, originating from primeval Chaos and superior to all living beings, erupted! The air groaned under the unbearable pressure, and the protective array patterns engraved on the ground instantly lit up with dazzling light, flickering violently, as if they would collapse at any moment! This was the Origin Essence Blood of a Peak Heavenly Fox Emperor, its power enough to make ordinary Yao Kings instantly weak-boned and soft-muscled, their Divine Souls frozen!

Yao Delong bore the brunt, as if an invisible primeval divine mountain had been slammed down on his head! His body swayed violently, his Qi and blood churned fiercely, and his Primordial Spirit experienced a momentary sharp pain and sluggishness!

"Roar!" A deep Dragon roar exploded from deep within his body! Pure, vast, and brilliant golden light, as if capable of melting all ages, shot out from every pore of his body! Great Sun Sacred Body, Major Achievement Realm! Invulnerable to all Dharma, all evil retreats!

Boom!

The brilliant golden Qi and blood power, like substantial raging flames, shot skyward, forcefully carving out a scorching, indestructible Domain of his own amidst the oppressive Divine Might of the Emperor's Essence Blood, which was enough to crush Divine Souls! The heavy pressure collided with the golden light, emitting a harsh, metallic clang, but it could no longer make him retreat a single step!

"What?!" Xue Shushu's pupils contracted sharply, and a monstrous wave rose in her heart! A Yao Race cultivator at the Yao King Realm could actually directly withstand the pressure of her mid-tier Yao Emperor's Origin Essence Blood, even faintly displaying a magnificent Divine Might that could contend with it?! That surging golden Qi and blood... that overbearing aura that seemed capable of scorching all things... she had definitely felt it somewhere before! A vague and distant figure flashed in the depths of her memory, but it was forcibly suppressed by the urgency of the moment, unable to be grasped!

"Fellow Daoist Sishu, quickly!" Yao Delong's voice carried an unquestionable authority, like a thunderclap exploding in her mind.

Xue Shushu snapped back to reality, the last trace of distraction gone from her eyes, leaving only extreme solemnity and concentration! She pointed with her jade finger, her Divine Thought like invisible threads, firmly guiding the drop of Essence Blood, which emanated endless Divine Might and almost burned holes in space, carefully yet incredibly swiftly, towards the chaotic, flowing, nine-orificed pill embryo at the mouth of the xuanhuang creation cauldron!

"Fuse!"

Yao Delong's eyes glowed even more golden, and the Glazed Hearth Fire's light suddenly condensed, transforming into the purest and gentlest Fusion power, enveloping that drop of closely related Essence Blood. Like a carving knife in the hands of a divine craftsman, it guided it to slowly penetrate into the core Veins of the pill embryo. In an instant, the pill embryo vibrated violently!

Brilliant nine-colored rays of light burst forth from the nine orifices, and an unprecedented, vast life aura and profound Soul Power, as if capable of awakening slumbering ancient beasts, suddenly spread out! The elixir fragrance reached its Peak, transforming into visible seven-colored clouds and mist, permeating the entire quiet room. A single breath made one feel their Primordial Spirit clear and transparent, as if about to Ascend and become immortal!
