Chapter 751: Nine-Turn Dragon Breath

The unexpected surprise brought by the Thunder Furnace stirred another thought in Li Luo's heart.

The Thunder Furnace is the source of the Thunder Roar Physique, a special constitution that greatly amplifies one's own strength. The Thunder Roar Physique has five levels of thunder resonance, and the current Li Luo can only achieve the first level.

And to enhance the Thunder Roar Physique, the Thunder Furnace is the core.

Only when the power of thunder within the Thunder Furnace grows stronger can it stimulate the physical body with greater thunder resonance, briefly strengthening flesh and bone alike.

But enhancing the Thunder Furnace is no easy task. Although Li Luo possesses a Lei Xiang, it is after all only a secondary aspect. In his usual cultivation, he does not absorb much thunder aspect power, and the effect it can achieve is merely maintaining the Thunder Furnace so it does not fade. If he truly relied on this Lei Xiang to enhance the Thunder Furnace, the time required would likely be extremely long.

Therefore, using special thunder power to strengthen the Thunder Furnace is a shortcut.

The upcoming Nine-Turn Thunder Dragon Breath will be a great tonic for the Thunder Furnace.

If he handles it properly, Li Luo felt, he might be able to elevate the Thunder Roar Physique to the second level of thunder resonance.

If the Thunder Roar Physique truly reached the second level of thunder resonance, Li Luo believed that his physical body's strength at that time should not be much weaker than the Silver Fiend Physique.

This counts as no small improvement.

Just as Li Luo's heart was stirred by this, he suddenly felt the surrounding heavens and earth tremble violently. He hurriedly looked and saw that this endless golden desert was now raising towering waves of sand, as if an earth dragon had stirred beneath it.

The entire desert was shaking, and in the next moment, a wave of golden sand ten thousand zhang high rolled up.

Countless grains of golden sand poured down from the horizon like a golden waterfall.

In the void behind the countless golden dust, two clusters of golden light as large as lanterns shone forth. As the golden dust fell upon them, Li Luo took a deep breath.

He saw a golden giant dragon coiled in the void there, its dragon eyes looking down from above, staring at Li Luo below with infinite majesty.

As if gazing down upon an ant.

The golden giant dragon's mouth opened and closed, and within it seemed to gather boundless golden thunder dragon breath. The mere trace of that power that leaked out caused Li Luo below to change color.

This dragon breath was several times stronger than the one just now.

Is the Nine-Turn Dragon Breath truly this terrifying and domineering?

Li Luo's brows furrowed. With this intensity of thunder power, if he rashly absorbed it directly with the Thunder Furnace, the furnace would probably explode outright, wouldn't it?

Moreover, his physical body could not withstand it either.

Therefore, if he wanted to use this thunder dragon breath to strengthen the Thunder Furnace, he had to first weaken it to the limit his body could endure.

Thinking this, Li Luo no longer hesitated. Phase power within his body surged like a great river, and his hands swiftly formed seals.

A moment later, accompanied by the violent expenditure of phase power within his body, a somewhat illusory black dragon banner appeared in his hand.

To contend against such a violently astonishing Nine-

Turn Dragon Breath, Li Luo dared not be the slightest bit careless, and directly unleashed his strongest technique.

In the sky, the golden giant dragon did not dawdle either. As its golden dragon mouth opened, deep within those sharp fangs seemed to be a sea of golden thunder.

Boom!

In the next moment, thunder exploded.

A hundred-zhang golden dragon breath was seen violently spewed forth, and what flowed within the golden dragon breath was actually liquid thunder pulp.

Wherever the thunder pulp dragon breath passed, the void twisted completely.

"Black Dragon Dark Water Banner!"

Li Luo's gaze sharpened. The black dragon banner in his hand tore through the void, and immediately a black dragon rode the dark river, bursting forth into the air. Accompanied by a dragon cry that shook the heavens, a chilling black light pierced the horizon, directly clashing head-on with the golden dragon breath.

Hiss!

When the two collided, there was no earth-shattering sound, but rather continuous black mist ceaselessly rising, as two astonishing forces rapidly eroded each other.

Even that stretch of void faintly showed cracks appearing.

This stalemate lasted for roughly a dozen seconds, then the black dragon dark water gradually gave way. Finally, accompanied by a wail, the black dragon shattered, and the dark water was dissolved by the thunder.

The Nine-Turn Dragon Breath was truly terrifying. Even though Li Luo had unleashed a marquis-grade art, it only consumed about half of it.

And the remaining half of the thunder pulp dragon breath still carried a destructive aura as it smashed toward Li Luo below.

Li Luo looked up. The thunder pulp dragon breath roaring toward him was reflected in his pupils, yet his expression showed no panic. Instead, in that instant he activated the Thunder Roar Physique, which would enhance his body's resistance to the thunder pulp.

Boom!

The first level of thunder resonance vibrated within his body, and his flesh was strengthened.

But this was not the end. At this moment, a mysterious purple tree light pattern appeared on the back of Li Luo's hand—that was the "Sacred Tree Purple Emblem," a reward Li Luo had obtained at the Holy Grail War.

The Sacred Tree Purple Emblem originally could continuously produce "Purple Spirit Liquid" and use it to temper one's phase nature. But previously, in order to elevate his dragon phase directly to Sixth Rank, Li Luo had chosen a one-time infusion, which caused the Sacred Tree Purple Emblem to be in a state of failure during this period.

But now Li Luo was not after the "Purple Spirit Liquid," but rather a Yi Dao Mi Fa that came with the Sacred Tree Purple Emblem.

"Sacred Wood Spring Return Armor!"

Accompanying Li Luo's low murmur, the Sacred Tree Purple Emblem suddenly erupted with brilliant green light. The green light contained an extremely vast vitality, which then rapidly spread along Li Luo's body.

In just a few breaths, a green battle armor was seen covering Li Luo's body.

When this green battle armor appeared, Li Luo immediately felt a massive surge of vitality pouring into his body. The arms that had been torn earlier from unleashing the Elephant God Power were now almost instantly fully restored.

"What powerful recovery ability!"

Li Luo was delighted in his heart. The recovery ability of this "Sacred Wood Spring Return Armor" was countless times stronger than the recovery-type phase arts like the "Spirit Water Art" he had used.

Moreover, the "Sacred

The "Wood Spring Return Armor" was formed from wood phase power and inherently possessed an isolating effect against thunder power, which perfectly served to weaken the thunder dragon's breath.

All preparations were made. Next, it was time to endure the baptism of the thunder pulp dragon breath.

Li Luo's face showed no fear. He spread his arms, allowing the thunder pulp dragon breath wrapped in destruction to roar toward him with a rumble.

In the instant he was struck by the thunder pulp, Li Luo's ears and eyes seemed to be filled with thunder. Wildly violent thunder power flashed crazily outside the battle armor, and the "Sacred Wood Spring Return Armor" also rapidly began to show damage at this moment. Taking advantage of this, thunder power surged into Li Luo's body, beginning to wreak havoc and destruction.

Intense pain spread through Li Luo's body.

But Li Luo did not make a sound. He first used his dual phase power to continuously intercept the thunder power at the front, while simultaneously activating water phase, wood phase, and light phase power—those with recovery capabilities—to assist the "Sacred Wood Spring Return Armor" from behind in repairing the many damaged areas.

The thunder power at this moment was still too violent to be directly drawn into the Thunder Furnace, so he planned to use his physical body to consume it.

Although it would be very painful, Li Luo was not afraid of it.

Thus, a battlefield seemed to form within Li Luo's body. The power of thunder constantly ravaged it, while he relied on his powerful recovery ability to clean up the ravaged battlefield afterward.

And under that repeated cycle of damage and repair, his flesh and blood showed faint signs of strengthening.

This tug-of-war continued for who knows how long. In any case, Li Luo simply gritted his teeth and endured. After all, when he had made his earlier plans, he already knew he would suffer plenty this time. He didn't know how others got through this Nine Transformations Dragon Breath, but a notion like his—trying to convert the power of thunder within into his own—was probably rare.

Under this tug-of-war, the phase force within Li Luo's body was also being consumed at a rapid rate.

However, the situation was gradually turning for the better.

The Dual Phase Power blocked head-on, and its effect of splitting the power of thunder was excellent. The Dragon Breath was indeed domineering, but the grade of the Dual Phase Power was also extremely high; in its clash with the Dragon Breath, it did not appear to be at any particular disadvantage.

Thus, as time went on, the rampaging power of thunder within his body began to be restricted by Li Luo to a level he felt he could accept.

"It should be about right."

Li Luo's mind stirred, so he actively drove the Thunder Furnace within his body, and immediately thunderous sounds echoed within.

As the thunderous sounds rang out, the rampaging power of thunder within his body seemed to be drawn by some kind of attraction, suddenly changing direction, like birds returning to their nest, one after another whistling toward the location of the Thunder Furnace.

In just a dozen or so breaths, the power of thunder that had tormented Li Luo to death all poured into the Thunder Furnace.

And when the last wisp of thunder power entered the furnace, a hint of nervousness also rose in Li Luo's heart.

Under Li Luo's nervous gaze, the Thunder Furnace also began to tremble violently at this moment.

Seeing such a big reaction from the furnace, Li Luo could not help but hold his breath.

He hoped the Thunder Furnace could withstand it; otherwise, if the furnace exploded, all the effort would truly have been for nothing.
