Chapter 412 Refining! Advancing to the late stage of the fourth-order Body Refinement!
He first briefly paused the system's absorption, allowing the impact of the three-colored Daoist aura to act on the Vajra Indestructible Divine Power again. Then, relying on his near-fifth-level divine sense, he skillfully controlled the manifestation of the golden light on his arm.
To outsiders, the originally intensely flashing golden light only fluctuated slightly before quickly stabilizing, as if the terrifying energy burst just now was merely an insignificant ripple.
This outcome shocked the three of them even more.
After doing all this, Chen Yi maintained his calm and collected demeanor, looking at Yin Yan and the other two with an unchanged expression.
"Gentlemen, this humble monk will be in seclusion here for half a day to refine this spiritual fruit."
His voice was calm and composed, without the slightest hint of strain.
"The three of you might as well go ahead and explore the opportunities ahead. We'll meet again later."
The three watched as Chen Yi reached out and took the fruit. They saw that the golden light in his hand only fluctuated slightly when the spiritual fruit backfired, and then had no further impact, as if he were handling an ordinary fruit with ease.
This scene completely shattered the last shred of hope in their hearts.
All three of them had given up hope.
The human-faced dragon's vertical pupils were filled with jealousy and helplessness. This monk from Vajra Temple was simply a monster!
It seems that the bald little monk of the Great Green Realm Vajra Temple has an incredibly high level of control over supernatural powers.
With such weak body-refining cultivation, he was able to control that violent three-colored spiritual fruit so easily.
This opportunity is completely out of their reach.
Seeing this, they had no choice but to accept their fate.
"Very well." The human-faced dragon spoke first, its voice somewhat hoarse. "Fellow Daoist Kudu, you shall cultivate here first, and we shall explore the opportunities ahead."
He paused, then added.
"See you later."
After saying that, the human-faced dragon took a deep look at the spiritual fruit in Chen Yi's hand, turned around first, and headed towards the deeper chaotic land of four-colored spiritual light without looking back.
Yin Yan and Cang Nan also nodded to Chen Yi.
With a complicated expression, Cang Nan clasped his hands in a fist salute and followed without saying a word.
Yin Yan walked last. Before leaving, he looked at Chen Yi one last time, his eyes filled with suspicion that was almost overflowing. But in the end, he said nothing and turned to leave.
Meanwhile, another young prodigy of the Silver Spirit Clan, Silver Horn, was finding it difficult to advance any further due to the oppressive and complex spiritual energy in this place.
He clasped his hands slightly in respect to Chen Yi before turning away and abandoning any further exploration.
Once everyone's presence had completely disappeared from the range of perception.
Chen Yi finally dared to relax the tension he had been holding in and let out a long breath.
He plopped down on the spot where the three-colored spiritual light converged, feeling his back already soaked with cold sweat.
The performance just now had taken a huge toll on his mental energy.
He looked down at the still radiant three-colored spirit fruit in his hand and immediately gave the system a command in his mind.
"Devour!"
[Currently consuming data, progress at 10%, 11%, 12% ————]
A massive and pure torrent of energy surged into his body once more. Chen Yi felt as if his physical body was a long-dried-up sponge, frantically absorbing moisture. Under the impact of this energy, the bottleneck of the mid-stage fourth-order body refinement began to loosen slightly.
A dramatic change is taking place within Chen Yi's body.
Wood, fire, and metal—the three colors and five orders of energy—were transformed into pure and absorbable Daoist essence under the system's absorption and decomposition. This energy, if it existed outside, would be enough to drive a Nascent Soul cultivator mad and make a Deity Transformation Ancestor take notice, but at this moment it obediently submitted to his near-five-order divine soul control.
"Using wood as fuel, fire is used to refine gold!"
With a thought, Chen Yi channeled the azure wood elemental essence, like top-grade spiritual fuel, into the crimson fire elemental essence.
The Daoist flames surged dramatically, then enveloped the most solid and sharp metal elemental source.
This is an extremely dangerous act; directly burning a fifth-order source is tantamount to setting a trap.
However, under the precise decomposition of the system and the suppression of the powerful divine soul, the impossible became possible.
The essence of metal was refined through countless trials within the Dao Flame, and its purest essence was extracted and precisely guided into his spine, stimulating the enhancement of the essence of metal within his body.
The process was extremely painful, as if his entire spine was being poured with lava and forged by a heavy hammer. But Chen Yi's mind was clear, and he could clearly "introspect" the changes inside his body.
Time slips away bit by bit.
The number of golden essence strands in Chen Yi's body rapidly increased: 6000 strands, 7000 strands—a tingling warmth spread through his spinal cord, and his sense of power steadily rose.
When the source of metal was completely refined and absorbed, the amount of metal essence suddenly broke through—
1 strands!
Several hours later, a series of rapid crackling sounds, like popping beans, came from inside his body.
Chen Yi's Vajra Marrow has passed the ten thousand strands mark, truly reaching the body-refining energy intensity of the late fourth stage!
At this moment, his entire spinal cord—from the cervical vertebrae to the coccyx—completely transformed, no longer ordinary marrow, but truly transformed into pure golden essence.
It resembles a golden dragon coiled around the central axis of its body, dazzling and captivating.
With each slight thought, the spinal cord pumps out immense power, which, through the surging blood, instantly spreads throughout the limbs and bones.
Skin, flesh, bones, viscera, and marrow are all rejuvenated. The skin becomes tough, the muscles contain explosive power, the bones are as hard as magic weapons, and the internal organs are thoroughly cleansed.
Chen Yi's physical strength is twice as strong as it was a few hours ago, and it is still steadily increasing as the power of his bone marrow advances.
The marrow is completely refined.
He could clearly perceive the path ahead: the next step was to perfect the Marrow Refining stage, and then seek that slim opportunity to break through to the Blood Refining stage!
That was the fifth level of body refinement, a terrifying realm that had existed only in legends for tens of thousands of years in the Great Thousand Worlds, comparable to the Nascent Soul stage of a magic cultivator.
Chen Yi slowly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light appearing and disappearing in them. He exhaled a long breath, his breath long and flowing like a white ribbon.
Feeling the explosive power surging within him, it felt as if a single punch could shatter a small mountain.
"Finally, in this perilous world of cultivation, my strength has increased once again."
He secretly estimated that if he were to confront the Nascent Soul clone Kudu, who was now fully unleashing his Nascent Soul essence, head-on, he might not be as disheveled as before, and he wouldn't need to rely on the spatial interlayer to deal with the creatures of the void.
Based solely on the current physical strength of this clone, it has the confidence to fight Kudu to a standstill.
If we use our trump cards, a head-on confrontation might not be without a chance of victory.
At this moment, several hundred feet ahead.
A chaotic energy storm, formed by the convergence, collision, and annihilation of four-colored spiritual light—wood, fire, metal, and earth—was created, with an intensity reaching the mid-stage of the fifth rank.
Even though the three people present—Yin Yan, Cang Nan, and Ren Mian Jiao—were all exceptionally powerful and had cooperated sincerely and tried repeatedly, they were still firmly blocked at the perimeter.
