38: Refining, the progress bar is moving!

Boom!!!

As soon as it entered his body, a monstrous, sharp force erupted instantly!

It was like detonating an ancient celestial thunder; countless golden energies rampaged within his body like blades. Wherever they passed, his Meridians were sliced, and his flesh was carved away.

This tyrannical and peerless power of the Golden-Winged Great Peng sought to tear his Physical Body apart and destroy his bones!

The Golden-Winged Great Peng is known for its speed and power. The Origin power contained within its immortal beast essence blood carries the characteristics of ultimate destruction and reconstruction.

Even a God Realm Cultivator would need to be extremely cautious while refining it; a slight moment of carelessness would result in being devoured by the backlash of the essence blood, causing the body to explode and die!

Even Xu Jinhuan, who possesses the Eternal Chaos Body, felt moved at this moment.

"What a tyrannical power!"

"It is worthy of being a Golden-Winged Great Peng that lives by hunting the Dragon Clan. Ultimate ferocity, ultimate destruction!"

"If it were any other Divine Palace Realm Cultivator, they would likely be unable to escape the fate of their body exploding and being destroyed today."

"It is just a pity that I am the Eternal Chaos Body."

As he said this, Xu Jinhuan stopped suppressing his Physique, and countless wisps of Chaos Power, shimmering with seven-colored light, immediately emerged within his limbs and bones.

Though they were clearly extremely thin, they carried the force of ten thousand jun.

They easily crushed the countless golden blades brought by the Golden-Winged Great Peng essence blood.

Operating the Great Celestial Immortal Technique, the Chaos spiritual power instantly swept through his entire body like a vast river, wrapping the violent golden blood within it.

Screech—!

A heaven-shaking, fierce cry rang out. In the center of the golden blood, the phantom of the Golden-Winged Great Peng came alive, seemingly enraged by Xu Jinhuan's actions.

This drop of essence blood had existed for a long time, and the phantom had already developed a trace of intelligence, so it was naturally unwilling to be refined easily.

The next moment, golden flames ignited upon the essence blood, and the Great Peng flapped its wings, soaring upward and transforming into a streak of yellow lightning!

It was actually trying to escape Xu Jinhuan's control by burning itself!

Facing the counterattack of the essence blood, Xu Jinhuan was unhurried.

He had long anticipated that the essence blood left behind by this Saint King Realm Golden-Winged Great Peng would resist.

After all, this was a wild treasure from the outside world, and without a powerful expert from the Taiyi Holy Land to help wipe away its spirituality, it was not surprising that it possessed self-awareness.

The Eternal Chaos Body operated at full power.

"Eternal Chaos Body, suppress it for me!"

Hum—!

Countless Chaos Power erupted, and his Physical Body bloomed with boundless divine light, resembling a sun of Chaos.

In just an instant, the final spirituality of the Great Peng essence blood let out a wail.

Screech—!

And then, it vanished instantly!

The golden blood completely quieted down, becoming meat on the chopping block for Xu Jinhuan to slaughter at will!

"A mere Golden-Winged Great Peng dares to act presumptuously? How dare you."

Xu Jinhuan let out a cold snort and quickly began to refine the essence blood to strengthen his Divine Palace.

A faint, chaotic rosy light appeared on the surface of his body, and his aura climbed steadily.

Wisps of golden mist overflowed from his pores; that was the energy within the essence blood that was too violent and could not be absorbed temporarily.

His Physical Body was like a bottomless abyss, frantically devouring the Origin power of the Golden-Winged Great Peng essence blood.

The golden energy surged into his bones, and his bones were instantly plated with a layer of golden radiance, their hardness and toughness skyrocketing, with a faint humming sound like a phoenix cry.

It surged into his Meridians, widening them, and the speed of his spiritual power circulation increased by ten percent.

It surged into his flesh, and the power contained within his flesh became increasingly majestic. Every inch of his skin was filled with explosive power, while simultaneously carrying the unique sharp aura of the Golden-Winged Great Peng.

It surged into his Qi Sea, and that 300,000-mile Divine Palace expanded once again, swelling by a quarter in just a short moment.

400,000 miles!

Comparable to the stars!

Rumble—!

On the altar, the golden light grew increasingly intense. A golden phantom of the Great Peng circled around Xu Jinhuan, flapping its wings as if ready to fly, and the pressure of the Immortal Beast filled the surroundings.

This caused The Three Women acting as Protectors in the distance to feel a strong sense of oppression.

"What terrifying pressure! Is this the power of an ancient Immortal Beast?"

Fang Qingyao's expression changed slightly, and she gripped the long sword in her hand tightly.

Liu Changxi's eyes were full of amazement:

"He is truly worthy of being the Young Master, with a Heaven-Defying Physique. If it were anyone else, they would likely have been devoured by the backlash of this essence blood long ago, but the Master can forcibly refine it and even convert it into his own power!"

Only Su Zihan felt both happy and sour in her heart at this moment.

She was very happy that Xu Jinhuan was improving his strength.

But when she thought about the fact that she had no chance at all, she couldn't feel happy anymore, feeling sour inside.

Why, why am I so stupid?

Why did I have the courage to question Sequence Xu?

I am truly not worthy of such an outstanding man...

Confirming that Xu Jinhuan was not in danger, The Three Women finally felt at ease to explore.

Fang Qingyao's eyes flickered, and she activated the Eye of Destiny.

Instantly, a small Opportunity nearby was perceived by her.

"Senior Sister Liu, let's go this way. I feel there is movement here!"

"Hmm, I will listen to Junior Sister Fang."

Liu Changxi did not doubt her; after all, she was feeling lost herself.

Moreover, she had heard that this Junior Sister Fang had very good Luck and had obtained Opportunities many times in the few years since joining, clearly being a person of great Luck.

Following her was definitely the right choice!

On the altar, Xu Jinhuan was still absorbing and refining the Golden-Winged Great Peng essence blood.

What surprised him most was that the Golden-Winged Great Peng Origin mark contained within that drop of essence blood was now being forcibly stripped away and easily refined by the Chaos spiritual power, merging into the depths of his Soul.

Combined with the Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability that came with the Eternal Chaos Body.

Xu Jinhuan's insights into speed and sharpness were instantly elevated to a whole new level!

Now, a single strike he sent out casually was enough to kill a Peak Life and Death Realm Cultivator in seconds.

Walking casually, he could shrink the earth into an inch and travel a thousand miles in one step.

Everything, everything, had no Moves, just instinct!

With just one drop of essence blood, Xu Jinhuan had analyzed all of the Golden-Winged Great Peng's speed and sharpness, making them his own!

Feeling the changes in his own improvement, even Xu Jinhuan was startled.

This Physique is too terrifying!

"Is this the terrifying aspect of the Eternal Chaos Body? It is worthy of being a nine-star Physique!"

"Hmm? The System panel seems to have movement."

[Host: Xu Jinhuan]

[Realm: Divine Palace Realm, Sixth Layer (Super Grade Golden Core!)]

[Aptitude: Peak Immortal King Posture]

[Cultivation Technique: Taiyi Scripture (Ninth Layer), Great Celestial Immortal Technique (Immortal Grade, Third Layer)]

[Physique: Eternal Chaos Body (Awakening 8%)]

[Divine Ability: Double Pupil Technique!]

After refining the essence blood, his Realm had become the Divine Palace Realm, Sixth Layer.

But the point was not this; it was the Physique.

"The Awakening progress of my Physique actually moved!"

Xu Jinhuan was overjoyed.

This was the first time he had seen the Awakening progress of his Physique change outside of the other time nodes of breaking through a major Realm!

Although it only changed by 1%, for him, this was a great 1%!

This meant that besides breaking through major Realms, there were other ways to improve the Awakening progress of the [Physique]!

Originally, Xu Jinhuan thought that he might not finish this Awakening progress even if he conquered the entire Eternal Immortal Domain.

Now, there was a turning point!

"However, it took three drops of immortal beast essence blood to increase it by one percent, and it will become increasingly difficult to improve later. This path of Awakening is a long and arduous one!"

Thinking of this, Xu Jinhuan felt a bit melancholy, shook his head, and withdrew his thoughts.
