120: Chapter 120 Late Stage Second-Tier Body Refinement!

The Golden Lesser Dragon let out a low roar, flames raging within its dragon eyes, staring fixedly at the intruder who dared to violate its territory.

The Yin Yang Dragon Qi slowly came to a halt.

Two dragons, one golden and one interwoven with black and white, stared at each other within Xiao Caiyue's Dantian, maintaining a distance that was neither too near nor too far.

Time slowly passed.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

It was unknown how much time had passed.

The Golden Lesser Dragon seemed a bit bewildered.

Its intelligence was limited after all; it was merely an instinctive guardian formed from the Origin.

Seeing the intruder motionless at this moment, the hostility in its eyes gradually turned into confusion.

"This fellow... is it dead?"

At the very moment it slightly relaxed its vigilance—

The Yin Yang Dragon Qi suddenly accelerated!

Fast as lightning!

The Golden Lesser Dragon had no time to react at all!

The Yin Yang Dragon Qi lunged fiercely toward the "Dragon Pearl," opened its dragon maw, and took a hard bite at the surface of the "Dragon Pearl"!

"Roar——!"

The Golden Lesser Dragon let out an angry roar! Its phantom image trembled violently with rage, almost blurring!

But it was already too late.

With a thick wisp of pale golden Origin held in its jaws, the Yin Yang Dragon Qi retreated rapidly, disappearing from the Dantian in the blink of an eye and flying back into Ye Changge's body along the path it came!

"Ugh——!"

Xiao Caiyue stifled a groan!

This time, it was more intense than any previous time!

Her entire body tensed up like a bowstring, her fair skin instantly flushing a seductive pink, large beads of sweat rolling down, her hands gripping the brocade cushion so tightly that her knuckles turned white from the effort!

At the same time, Ye Changge's body also jolted violently!

An incomparably scorching force, like scalding magma, instantly surged into his Dantian!

The amount this time was far greater than any previous time!

That was the purest Origin of the Dragon Yang Body!

Ye Changge felt his blood boil instantly; every inch of his muscle and every bone was resonating!

Steam instantly rose from the surface of his body! The entire Immortal Cave was shrouded in mist, and a scorching aura permeated the air, resembling a steamer!

Ye Changge dared not be negligent; he hurriedly focused his mind, and the Kunpeng Refining Art within his body began to operate frantically!

The illusory Kunpeng phantom appeared once again, opened its massive maw, and swallowed that large mass of Origin power in one gulp!

Refine!

Frantically refine!

The scorching power surged within his body; with every circulation, his Physical Body became a fraction stronger!

Ye Changge was bare-chested, his muscle lines well-defined, and at this moment, they shone with a faint bronze luster, as if he were refined iron forged in flames!

Heat steamed off his body, interweaving with the mist in the Immortal Cave, shrouding the entire space in a hazy veil.

It was unknown how much time had passed.

Perhaps it was the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, or perhaps an hour.

Finally—

A dull boom resounded from within Ye Changge's body!

Like a thunderclap!

He opened his eyes abruptly, and a golden light flashed through his pupils before vanishing!

An incomparably powerful aura erupted from his body!

Kunpeng Refining Art, Breakthrough!

Fourth Layer!

He looked down at his hands and clenched his fists. The massive power of Qi and blood within his body surged like a roaring river, far stronger than before by many times!

Late Stage Tier 2 Body Refining, comparable to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage!

His Physical Body cultivation had now firmly stepped into the Late Foundation Establishment Stage!

He was only a hair's breadth away from quasi-Tier 3!

Ye Changge slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

The breath was scorching hot, condensing into a white arrow of Qi in the air that lingered for a long time.

He looked at Xiao Caiyue, who was lying on the brocade cushion.

Xiao Caiyue lay there, completely limp and motionless.

She was drenched in fragrant sweat, her hair disheveled, her face like a peach blossom, and a flush still lingered at the corners of her eyes.

Her red lips were slightly parted, breathing softly, her chest heaving violently.

But she was still awake.

She turned her head with difficulty to look at Ye Changge, her eyes shimmering with moisture, carrying a hint of inquiry.

Ye Changge smiled at her slightly:

"I am fine, Caiyue."

Hearing this, Xiao Caiyue smiled with difficulty.

In that smile, there was gratitude and relief.

However, the next moment—

Her autumn-water-like eyes suddenly constricted!

Her pupils contracted violently, and the blood drained from her face instantly!

"Ugh——!"

A stifled groan, suppressed to the extreme, squeezed out from the depths of her throat!

Her body arched violently, as if gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, and she began to tremble intensely!

The aura that had just calmed down slightly suddenly became chaotic!

In her Dantian, that scorching Yang Qi that had just been suppressed erupted frantically, like an enraged volcano!

Ye Changge's expression changed drastically!

He had no time to think and instantly released a trace of Divine Sense, which probed into Xiao Caiyue's body like lightning!

The Divine Sense sped all the way, passing through the Meridians, and reached the Dantian directly—

When he "saw" the scene in the Dantian, Ye Changge's heart sank!

The Golden Lesser Dragon was currently slamming into the "Dragon Pearl" frantically!

With every impact, a large amount of Origin power was shaken loose, rampaging through the Dantian!

Those out-of-control Origin forces, like violent magma, scorched the Meridians that had just stabilized, leaving them shattered wherever they passed!

And fine cracks had already begun to appear on the barrier of Xiao Caiyue's Dantian!

"Not good!"

Ye Changge was horrified.

He never expected the situation to become this severe!

He had only extracted a trace of the Origin just now; logically speaking, with his precise control and Xiao Caiyue's previous endurance, she should have barely been able to withstand it.

But looking at it now, he had underestimated the tyranny of this Dragon Yang Body!

After the "Dragon Pearl" had its Origin stripped, it was like a wounded beast; instead of wilting, it became even more violent!

It was retaliating frantically! Destroying frantically!

And Xiao Caiyue's exhausted body simply could not withstand such an impact!

If this continued, her Dantian would completely collapse within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!

By then, even an immortal could not save her!

Ye Changge did not hesitate at all.

He instantly made a decision—

He formed hand seals, and the Yin Yang Creation Art within his body began to operate with a roar!

But this time, it was not the overbearing Yin Yang Guiding Art.

It was another secret technique—

The Dual Cultivation Technique used when saving Lu Shiyin back then, which nourished the other person with one's own Origin and gently repaired them!

This technique emphasized "symbiosis" and "nourishment,"

requiring the practitioner to use their own Foundation as a guide and continuously output Origin power to nourish and repair the other person's damaged Foundation.

The consumption for the practitioner was extremely huge!

Once Lifespan was consumed, it would take an unknown amount of Heaven And Earth Treasure and years of hard cultivation to recover.

But at this moment, Ye Changge could not care about such things.

With a thought, a wisp of Yin and Yang Qi containing the Origin of his own Yin-Yang Dao Foundation slowly rose from his Dantian, traveled along his Meridians, passed out from his fingertips, and cautiously probed into Xiao Caiyue's body.

The Yin and Yang Qi exhibited a soft white jade luster, gentle as spring water, completely different from the overbearing Yin Yang Dragon Qi from just before.
