177: The pain of bone replacement

By the pool on the mountain top, Qingyang's consciousness had at this moment fully returned to his main body.

But strangely, Qingyang was unable to move at all because of the black and white Tai Chi energy emanating from Emperor Yao in the distance.

Noticing that Qingyang had opened his black-gold vertical pupils to look at him, Emperor Yao's surrounding energy continuously surged towards Qingyang as he spoke.

"I believe Qingtian has already made preparations below. Qingyang, I am about to begin the bone replacement. The white bones in your current body,"

"I will directly remove and pulverize them to become the bridge, or rather, the bonding process between your Ten-Colored Bone Body and your flesh. Endure it."

As he spoke, on Qingyang's massive black-gold dragon body, which was over four hundred meters long, the foremost right dragon claw, suddenly under the shroud of that black and white energy,

One of the dragon fingers, all three joints, quietly turned into powder as if ice had met hot water.

"Roar~ Ang~"

The indescribable pain made Qingyang unable to help but let out a painful dragon roar, echoing for tens of thousands of miles.

At the same time, in the Inner Realm.

Because Qingyang's entire soul had returned to Blue Star, at the center of this massive rune, Qingyang's huge Ten-Colored Bone Body had completely become a massive pile of withered bones scattered on the ground due to the lack of energy connection.

Just as Qingyang on the Blue Star Surface had three finger bones turn into powder, Qingtian seemed to sense something and fiercely whipped his snake bone tail.

Afterward, among Qingyang's Ten-Colored Bone Body scattered on the ground, the three Ten-Colored finger bones on the front paw were suddenly flung towards the top of Qingyang's massive bone body.

There, was a pitch-black energy black hole resembling an abyss, leading to unknown places.

On the Blue Star Surface, the moment the three finger bones from the Inner Realm were flung into the black hole, Qingyang could clearly feel a familiar sensation suddenly appear in his middle finger bone, which had originally been soft and boneless.

This sense of control over the bone body, which had evolved so many times consecutively in the Inner Realm, made a hint of fervor rise in Qingyang's heart even as he endured the pain.

At this moment, as the three Ten-Colored finger bones violently entered Qingyang's front paw, Qingyang's ferocious dragon claw's middle finger was clearly seen to become sharper.

Afterward, between the Seven-Colored Bone and the flesh, Qingyang's former dragon bones had turned into powder, slowly acting as a buffer to allow Qingyang to adapt to the control between the Ten-Colored Bone Body and the flesh.

Just these three finger bones alone took Qingyang two full days to adapt to.

On this day, Emperor Yao looked at the three bones Qingyang had already fused and said to Qingyang, "How do you feel? If there are no issues, then continue fusing. This is also a path no one has ever walked before,"

"and I cannot grasp the proper measure. You need to control it yourself."

Hearing Emperor Yao's words, Qingyang gently moved the middle finger bone of his front paw that had already been fused, slowly nodding as he said, "I feel very good, very strong,"

"Also, let the storm be even more violent!"

Qingyang's words made Emperor Yao unable to help but frown.

"You mean, you can still bear this pain and even increase it? Don't forget, sometimes pain can truly be fatal,"

"If you die this time, not only will my plan fall through, but from now on, you will also only be able to fall back to the strength of a half Ten-Colored Bone Body in the Inner Realm."

"Is that so?" Qingyang muttered to himself.

But then, Qingyang's dragon eyes narrowed, and he said with determination, "Alright, I understand. Then, let's proceed step by step. Three finger bones, I can still bear,"

"So this time, let's do six finger bones."

"Buzz~"

As soon as Qingyang finished speaking, as Emperor Yao nodded, six finger bones in Qingyang's front paw instantly turned into powder.

Qingyang's dragon claws were in the standard China Divine Dragon form. Each claw had four fingers, and each finger had three bones.

"Roar~ Ang!"

As the bones of two claw fingers simultaneously turned into powder, Qingyang once again couldn't help but let out a painful dragon roar.

The moment the two finger bones became soft and limp, six bones emitting Ten-Colored light also abruptly replaced the positions of the white bones that had just been powdered.

This time, although Qingyang had prepared himself mentally, it still took two days for the fusion to be completely successful, and he gently moved his three claw fingers.

A dragon claw, besides the four finger claws, also had six smaller palm bones.

Their small size also indicated that the pain would be significantly reduced.

So when Qingyang finally adapted, he immediately said, "The remaining three finger bones, and the six palm bones, fuse them together."

"Roar~"

The sound of a painful dragon roar appearing again could not be concealed at all.

For a time, the powers constantly paying attention to the situation on the Ge Xing Islands immediately began to speculate after hearing the occasional dragon roars and screams coming from there.

The sound of the dragon roar, without a doubt, must belong to the Black Gold Yang Dragon King.

Thus, from these screams, the various powers finally reached a conclusion.

This Black Gold Yang Dragon King seems to have encountered a problem.

The moment this thought appeared, the various powers all began to stir with ideas.

One must know that the reason why gods are gods is because of their power, which mortals cannot even imagine.

And the reason why the Ge Xing Islands became the number one forbidden area on the surface of Blue Star was also because of the Black Gold Yang Dragon King's power, which the various forces simply couldn't detect.

But today...

On Qingyang's side, as the three bones of the last finger claw and the six smaller bones in the palm bones completely fused, Qingyang, after recovering, suddenly clenched his dragon claw that had been completely fused into a Ten-Colored Bone Body.

"Bang~"

A sonic boom instantly sounded from Qingyang's dragon claw. This was the sound produced by crushing the air because the speed of clenching the claw was too fast and the air had not yet escaped.

Currently, Qingyang's own strength was only at the early stages of the thirteenth tier, but now, with the dragon claw fused with the Ten-Colored Bone Body, Qingyang himself felt a sense of being at least twice as strong.

This strength was a foundational strength, unrelated to his realm.

Furthermore, feeling his dragon claw that had now fused with the Ten-Colored Bone Body, Qingyang even began to suspect that the so-called Super Divine Beast was probably nothing more than this.

Above the dragon claw, two larger bones were connected, similar to Humans' arms. Qingyang didn't dare to be overconfident and could only fuse them one by one.

For a time, on the Ge Xing Islands, the sound of dragon roars and screams continued without end, lasting for a full two months.

After two months, Qingyang, at this moment, felt that his five claws, including the bones connected to the dragon claws, had all been replaced with the Ten-Colored Bone Body. Qingyang said softly.

"Five times, it is fully five times stronger than before."

All five limbs had completed the bone replacement. Next was the most important body.

Having reached this step, Qingyang didn't dare to be even slightly overconfident. After nodding heavily with a solemn gaze towards Emperor Yao not far away, he said, "Let's start from the tail, after all, the bones there are relatively smaller."
