Chapter 174: Reborn and Transformed, Spirit Roots Defying the Heavens
After swallowing the Fire God Essence Blood, Jiang Xun immediately felt another wave of scorching heat within his body; for a moment, he was caught between ice and fire.
Jiang Xun also lay painfully on the ground, his ten fingers gripping the floor with force, and the stone floor was gouged out by Jiang Xun into ten finger-thick pits.
Subsequently, eerie flame patterns appeared on Jiang Xun's body, but soon, the flame patterns were replaced by ice-blue patterns; before long, the flame patterns gained the upper hand again.
The two essence bloods fought incessantly within Jiang Xun's body, then experienced a brief lull.
The two essence bloods seemed to have reached some sort of consensus and began to destroy Jiang Xun's original Spirit Roots.
Jiang Xun felt the water, fire, thunder, and wind within his body disappearing, and he was already unable to use the corresponding techniques.
After these Spirit Roots of Jiang Xun were destroyed, the Fire God Essence Blood and the Ice Spirit Essence Blood unfolded an even more violent struggle.
With a "pop," one of Jiang Xun's blood vessels burst directly, and fresh blood instantly splattered all over the ground.
"Ugh, ah!!!"
Jiang Xun let out a miserable scream.
This sound also attracted Lin Qingwan and Qin Miaoyin, who were in the room, to come out.
Seeing Jiang Xun radiating strange light and lying painfully in a pool of blood, the two were also startled.
"Jiang Xun! (Master!)" the two shouted simultaneously and ran toward Jiang Xun.
"Don't come over!" Jiang Xun saw their movements from the corner of his eye and shouted.
An extremely cold mist radiated from his whole body; even the two who were about five meters away from Jiang Xun felt the extreme cold, and without Jiang Xun needing to shout, they dared not take another step forward.
Afterward, Lin Qingwan and Qin Miaoyin watched as that circle of mist suddenly ignited.
"This... this..." Lin Qingwan was stunned.
The ice mist and flames tangled endlessly around Jiang Xun, then surged into the sky.
Looking up, a giant flame figure formed in the air, while the ice mist formed a materialized ice figure; they only had human shapes without facial features, and they were fighting fiercely in the air with fists and kicks.
They seemed not to want to destroy Jiang Xun's physical body, as they intended to possess Jiang Xun, so they tacitly chose to rush out of Jiang Xun's body to engage in battle.
"What is this..." Qin Miaoyin also stared wide-eyed at the sky.
The anomaly here also attracted Tu Qing and the others; including Ruo Lan, all the high-level members of the Lingerie-Sect flew quickly toward Jiang Xun's residence, and seeing Jiang Xun in pain on the ground, everyone was shocked.
"He is using essence blood to cleanse his Spirit Roots, don't go over!" Seeing Tu Qing about to rush over, Ruo Lan hurriedly grabbed Tu Qing by the collar and dragged her back.
"Master, is there anything we can do?" Ming Ning asked, looking at Jiang Xun with worry.
"Nothing can be done, he can only rely on himself." Ruo Lan shook her head: "If he fails, he will be possessed, or his body will explode."
"Damn it, you two aren't done yet." Jiang Xun punched the ground in pain, and the floor cracked; the surrounding stone slabs shattered one by one with a "bang, bang, bang" sound.
Although they were fighting outside Jiang Xun's body, Jiang Xun was still in excruciating pain, and blood was flowing from his seven orifices because these two bastards were fighting using Jiang Xun's Spirit Power!
Jiang Xun's Spirit Power was about to hit rock bottom, so in desperation, he could only take out a Soul Returning Pill and swallow it as a Huiyuan Pill to fully restore his Spirit Power.
As soon as his Spirit Power was restored, the two Ancestor Gods fought even more intensely.
The entire sky was shaking.
The raging flames seemed to swallow the entire sky, and the sky above the entire Xuwang Mountain was a fiery red; then the ice figure began to exert force, and a sheet of ice mist surged violently, instantly freezing half the sky into a white mist.
The entire sky looked as if it had been split in two, half red and half white.
It was like the end of the world.
Everyone below was stunned.
This was only the Ancestor Gods unable to exert even one-tenth of their power; one could imagine that if they were in their prime, the entire Xuwang Mountain would likely have already collapsed.
With the struggle continuing above, Jiang Xun below only felt his Spirit Power being instantly emptied, and he could only swallow Soul Returning Pills one by one, maintaining a frequency of eating one every thirty seconds.
If this were anyone else, they would have long since been drained of Spirit Power and possessed by the Ancestor Gods.
The two Ancestor Gods were also a bit confused, thinking to themselves, how is this kid's Spirit Power endless? Is it inexhaustible?
If they kept fighting, this body would be unusable.
If others saw Jiang Xun eating Soul Returning Pills like eating melon seeds now, who knows what they would think.
Seeing that Jiang Xun's body was becoming increasingly weak, the two Ancestor Gods seemed to decide to use their final move to determine the winner.
A powerful force erupted from their bodies, and both rushed toward each other.
"Pfft!" Feeling the impact of this force, Jiang Xun also spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his messy white hair was stained blood-red.
Boom!
A loud explosion sounded in the air, and with a violent blast, the half-red, half-white sky burst and scattered to the sides like ocean waves, and the sky instantly returned to clarity.
The fire figure and the ice figure also dissipated in the air, turning into a red-and-white light that entered Jiang Xun's body.
In an instant, Jiang Xun fainted.
"Xiao Xun!" Feeling that the terrifyingly powerful aura around him had dissipated, Ming Ning rushed up in a flash, running faster than anyone else, and lifted the blood-covered Jiang Xun from the ground.

Three days later.
Tianwai Island, Teleportation Array.
Everyone's gaze was gathered on the array.
Because after the light of the array flickered, a young man with a full head of white hair appeared on the array, his ponytail streaked with irregular light blue highlights like flames.
He wore luxurious white robes, an outer garment decorated with gold stripes, a black inner lining, and held a black-and-gold folding fan; his posture was outstanding, and his appearance was stunning.
A pair of ice-blue eyes left everyone around stunned.
"Heavens, is this a Prince from some Imperial Dynasty?"
"This is too handsome!"
"His eyes are ice-blue! So beautiful!"
People around watched Jiang Xun walk off the array and whispered to each other.
"Look, look, he seems to be looking for someone! Who is he looking for?"
After Jiang Xun stepped off the Teleportation Array, he looked around; at a glance, the people surrounding him were all from wealthy families, and not a single one had ordinary attire or appearance.
Outside the Teleportation Array seemed to be a marketplace with many merchants, and naturally, there were many people as well.
Jiang Xun looked around several times before finally spotting Cang Xingling, who was staring at him with a dazed expression in front of a teahouse not far away.
Thus, Jiang Xun walked over with quick steps.
Seeing this handsome young master actually walking toward their side, the women around Cang Xingling were incredibly nervous, hoping that Jiang Xun would walk up to them to strike up a conversation or ask for directions, anything would do!
But they were disappointed; Jiang Xun walked straight past them and arrived in front of Cang Xingling: "What are you looking at?" Jiang Xun said, waving his hand at Cang Xingling.
"Ah?" Cang Xingling finally snapped out of it, looking at the man in front of her with an expression of disbelief: "Are you talking to me?"
