CHAPTER 1097: CHAPTER 1097: TRUE DRAGON QI

The True Dragon Blood of the Xuantian Thunder Dragon entered his body, instantly transforming into a rich Dragon Energy that surged within Xu Nian’s body.

This Dragon Energy took the form of a small blue dragon, wildly dancing within Xu Nian’s body.

It caused a sharp pain as it crashed through Xu Nian’s meridians.

The Dragon Energy of the Xuantian Thunder Dragon contained extremely pure Thunderclap Power; in just a moment, Xu Nian’s meridians became charred black.

Yet Xu Nian remained unfazed, using his True Essence to guide the True Dragon Qi into his Dragon Vein.

"Buzz!"

The True Dragon Qi was absorbed by the Dragon Vein, and instantly, Xu Nian’s third Dragon Vein lit up at that moment.

The True Dragon Qi coiled within the Dragon Vein, the energy inside as thick as a finger.

It was far denser than any Dragon Vein Xu Nian had previously gained.

As the True Dragon Qi entered Xu Nian’s Dragon Vein, an extremely pure Thunderclap Power erupted from within.

Xu Nian knew this was feedback from the True Dragon Qi entering his body.

This provided significant enhancement to his physical body.

"Boom!"

Loud rumbles continuously echoed from within Xu Nian’s body.

It was as if countless Thunder Dragons were roaring inside him.

The injuries originally caused by the Star Axe not only completely recovered at this moment.

But even every cell began receiving substantial strengthening.

Xu Nian looked inside himself and found that a blue electric arc was flashing within every cell.

This electric arc was fortifying his cells, making his physical form grow at the fastest speed.

It lasted a full three hours before this evolution gradually weakened.

At this moment, Xu Nian could clearly feel that his physique had become much stronger.

His body was filled with immensely formidable power.

"Buzz!"

Xu Nian suddenly opened his eyes, and the ground beneath his feet trembled.

Feng Cheng, Murong Xue, and others nearby were all startled.

"Stronger, Xu Nian actually became stronger again."

Chu Xiong and the others thought in surprise.

They could clearly feel that the aura emanating from Xu Nian had become more powerful.

Although his cultivation hadn’t changed, his presence had become more dominant.

Sun Yuxiang also looked at Xu Nian, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes.

Although she had expected Xu Nian’s strength to improve, she hadn’t thought the improvement would be so pronounced.

Xu Nian was also extremely delighted; the Xuantian Thunder Dragon had greatly helped him.

"How about it, Xu Nian, how much stronger have you become?" Feng Cheng asked quickly as Xu Nian awakened.

Chu Xiong and the others were also very curious.

"Use all your strength to punch me, I promise not to fight back." Xu Nian said to Feng Cheng with a smile.

"Are you crazy?" Feng Cheng was taken aback.

He was a Middle Stage Earth Immortal, and a punch from him was incredibly powerful.

Even an Immortal Body might not withstand it.

Xu Nian actually said he wouldn’t fight back and take his punch?

"Just do it, why so much nonsense." Xu Nian said.

Feng Cheng rolled his eyes, then chuckled: "Alright, since you’re letting me, don’t blame me then."

With that, Feng Cheng mobilized all his Immortal Essence and punched directly at Xu Nian.

He didn’t hold back; since Xu Nian asked him to hit, he must be confident.

He also wanted to know how big the gap between him and Xu Nian really was.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion.

It was like the humming of a great bell.

A figure was directly knocked flying, soaring a thousand feet away.

Chu Xiong and the others stood dumbfounded.

Because it was not Xu Nian who was knocked away, but Feng Cheng.

Feng Cheng looked as if he had been struck by a hundred thousand bolts of thunder, his entire body charred beyond recognition.

"Xu Nian, damn you!"

Feng Cheng lay on the ground in the distance, cursing.

When he threw that punch, he felt something was wrong.

He seemed to have slammed into a massive lightning bolt and was hammered away like being hit by a giant sledge, his entire body’s Immortal Essence quivering.

Yet Xu Nian stood unmoving in place the entire time.

Xu Nian watched Feng Cheng get knocked away, smiled slightly, and with a light step, his figure flashed like a bolt of lightning, appearing directly in front of Feng Cheng.

His speed was astonishing.

"This speed... it might be comparable to the Peak of Late Stage Earth Immortal." Chu Xiong said to Lu Feng in shock.

"Absolutely, and exceptionally adept at speed for a Peak of Late Stage Earth Immortal, neither of us can achieve such speed." Lu Feng couldn’t help but marvel.

Then the two looked at Xu Nian with a bitter expression.

"Xu Nian, did you absorb this True Dragon’s True Dragon Blood?" Feng Cheng also widened his eyes, noticing the thunder snakes appearing on Xu Nian’s skin, and said in shock.

"Yes!" Xu Nian nodded.

The reason for his speed surge was entirely due to the True Dragon Blood.

Seeing Xu Nian nod, Feng Cheng rolled his eyes again.

This guy actually dared to absorb the True Dragon Blood?

Even Earth Immortal Peak powerhouses might not dare to do so, right?

True Dragon Blood is the purest energy and origin of a True Dragon.

It’s also extremely dominant and fierce; an Earth Immortal Peak absorbing it would result in the collapse of the Immortal Body.

Yet Xu Nian absorbed it and remained unharmed.

Truly unbelievable.

Xu Nian smiled but explained nothing.

He possessed the Nine Dragons Supreme Body, his body could only turn the True Dragon Bloodline into nourishment.

Now his body not only contained the Xuantian Thunder Dragon Bloodline but also those of the Red Fire Flame Dragon, Ice Frost Giant Dragon, Taigu Blood Dragon, Taichu Gray Dragon, and Taigu Nether Dragon—six bloodlines in total.

However, none of the five others was as pure and dense as the Xuantian Thunder Dragon.

After all, the Xuantian Thunder Dragon Bloodline was that of a True Dragon, whereas the others were from some Demon Beasts of the Dragon Clan.

"What knocked me away just now?" Feng Cheng continued to ask.

"That’s called Thunder Gang; it’s a combination of my Gang Qi and thunder, considered a unique form of energy." Xu Nian explained with a smile.

Indeed, the additional ability brought by the Thunder Dragon was Thunder Gang.

However, Xu Nian improved it by merging it with Gang Qi to form a more powerful force.

Now, every cell in Xu Nian’s body flickered with this Thunderclap Gang Qi.

The Taigu Nether Dragon merged with True Essence, whereas the Xuantian Thunder Dragon merged with Gang Qi.

The two did not conflict.

However, the Dragon Qi of the Taigu Nether Dragon was too weak to significantly boost True Essence.

To make the True Dragon Qi of the Taigu Nether Dragon effective again, more powerful Taigu Nether Dragon Qi is needed.

"I really don’t know how you freakishly cultivate." Feng Cheng muttered and then ignored Xu Nian.

Xu Nian also smiled, turning to Sun Yuxiang: "Now can we face the next challenge together?"

Upon hearing Xu Nian’s words, Sun Yuxiang directly turned and headed deeper into Shendang Mountain.

After saying a few words to Murong Xue and the others, Xu Nian followed.

He also wanted to see what the second challenge of Shendang Mountain entailed.
