CHAPTER 568: CHAPTER 568, DERIVED DIVINE POWER

The dragon’s might was overwhelming, but as soon as it touched Chu Ming’s body, it seemed like a mouse encountering a cat, not exerting any pressure on him at all.

Chu Ming’s Soul Power surged like a tide, scanning the entire Dragon Bone. With his Soul Power, he could clearly feel countless blood particles wildly wandering within the Dragon Bone. The immense Blood Qi made Chu Ming’s heart tremble.

Tap!

Chu Ming placed his right hand on the Dragon Bone, closed his eyes, and silently activated the Primordial Body Refining Technique. Instantly, a terrifying blood-colored light emerged from within the Dragon Bone and surged into Chu Ming’s body. At this moment, Chu Ming seemed like a massive black hole, frantically absorbing these blood-colored light points.

Splish splash...

The sound of flowing water arose. Chu Ming could clearly feel the blood within his body circulating rapidly, like water drops dripping from an ancient tree trunk. Simultaneously, as these blood-colored light points integrated into his body, he could distinctly feel a significant growth in his physical strength.

Boom!

A terrifying rumbling sound, like the ringing of an ancient bell, echoed in Chu Ming’s ears. Simultaneously, the particles in Chu Ming’s body vibrated at a frequency of tens of millions of times per second, causing Chu Ming’s figure to become a blurred phantom.

Eighth Layer!

As the Primordial Body Refining Technique broke through to the Eighth Layer, the Desolate Power in Chu Ming’s body grew increasingly intense, linking the meat particles into a vast network of blood and flesh.

Buzz!

A blood-colored vortex originated above Chu Ming’s Dantian. This vortex, like a black hole, emitted a terrifying suction force, absorbing the particles Chu Ming had drawn from the Dragon Bone. For a moment, Chu Ming’s face turned pale.

"What’s happening?!"

Chu Ming was deeply shocked, perplexed by the situation. Even he felt at a loss. At this moment, he had an ominous feeling that if he slowed down absorbing the Dragon Bone Essence, his meat particles would be sucked dry by this blood-colored vortex. By then, his body wouldn’t be much stronger than an ordinary Martial Artist.

"I’ll fight it!"

Chu Ming had no choice. The Eighth Layer of Primordial Body Refining Technique multiplied his absorption rate of Dragon Bone Essence manifold. Even so, the Essence within the Dragon Bone seemed like an endless ocean, with no end in sight.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Countless blood-colored light points flew into the vortex, which grew larger and began to materialize.

Outside, a majestic dragon aura radiated all around Chu Ming, seemingly like a true dragon awakening, imperiously gazing at the starry sky. During the absorption of the Dragon Bone Essence, Chu Ming subconsciously accumulated substantial dragon energy.

Poof!

Half a day later, Chu Ming had absorbed three-tenths of the Dragon Bone Essence.

Then four-tenths, five-tenths, six-tenths...

By the third day, Chu Ming had absorbed nine-tenths of the Dragon Bone Essence, leaving only one-tenth remaining. At this moment, his entire body radiated a brilliant, gem-like luster. Chu Ming, enveloped in blood light like a cocoon, emitted immense Qi Force, reaching the peak of the Eighth Layer of Primordial Body Refining Technique.

Crunch!

A crisp cracking sound came from within Chu Ming’s body, and the blood cocoon on his body began to crack. An immaculate, jade-like hand emerged from the cocoon. Soon, the cocoon shattered entirely, revealing Chu Ming with a solemn expression.

Boom!

At that moment, his aura surged violently, with blood-colored light darting around his body.

Ninth Layer, achieved!

Before Chu Ming could inspect the changes within himself, his expression altered dramatically, as though witnessing something unbelievable. He shifted his gaze towards his Dantian.

Crunch!

The blood-colored vortex had solidified into a terrifying blood-colored compass. The pungent scent of blood filled the air and with a crack forming at its center, slowly expanding, revealing a clawed hand. More cracks appeared, followed by three heads and six arms, radiating an aura of malice.

Poof!

The blood compass shattered, releasing an evil Blood Venerable with three heads and six arms. Each head bore a different expression: Slaughter, Evil, and Defiance.

"What is this..."

Chu Ming found himself hesitant, yet instinctively giving a command to the evil Blood Venerable. Instantly, within the spatial distortion, a six-armed, three-headed monster emerged, exuding a terrifying presence.

"Could this be the divine power derived from the Primordial Body Refining Technique?"

Chu Ming was moved. Refining techniques cultivated to their peak indeed could derive divine powers, but techniques capable of this were exceptionally rare. Being a remnant, the Primordial Body Refining Technique hadn’t recorded anything about this, leaving Chu Ming unsure and speculative.

On the soul level, Chu Ming could clearly sense an intricate connection with the blood monster, capable of determining its life and death with a mere thought.

"Attack me!"

Chu Ming’s Soul Power stirred, commanding the blood monster.

Whish!

There was a blur and a wild gust of wind hit his face, causing Chu Ming to change his expression abruptly. He unsheathed the Blood Dome Sword, tracing an arc in the air.

Slash!

Clang!

Sparks flew wildly, causing Chu Ming’s expression to change as a tremendous force transmitted through the Blood Dome Sword, pushing him back. He had no choice but to retreat, feeling that if he stood his ground, he would be injured by the violent fist force.

Step step step!

After retreating three or four steps, Chu Ming stared in shock at the blood monster. Even with his Guiyuan Realm Eighth Layer strength combined with the Ninth Layer of Primordial Body Refining Technique, he was pushed back. This blood monster was beyond his expectations.

If it faced the six major powers from a month ago, the blood monster would undoubtedly overwhelm them. However, this notion seemed unrealistic now.

After all, to become one of the six major powers, individuals like Emperor Wuji and Zhang Xingyun had extraordinary fortune. Even just by looking at Emperor Wuji’s current strength, one could get a glimpse of their prowess.

Nevertheless, this blood monster served as Chu Ming’s trump card, possessing strength comparable to his own, capable of turning the tide unexpectedly.

"Since you have three heads and six arms, I’ll call you Six-armed Asura."

Chu Ming murmured to himself, retracting the Six-armed Asura back into his Dantian with a flicker of his soul.

Crunch...

Crunch...

The Dragon Bone beside Chu Ming, about ten meters long, disintegrated like weathered wood. With a gentle touch, it turned to bone powder and dispersed into the wind, completely absorbed by Chu Ming.

Boom!

Chu Ming’s aura expanded, releasing an overpowering dragon might, domineering and unrivaled, as if nine dragons were soaring towards the heavens.
