Chapter 105: Only the Various Special Constitutions Can Be Made to Suffer

Countless cultivators in the distant sky had gone from shock to horror, and now to silence; they never expected the outcome of this battle to be like this.

They had imagined the Old Peng King sweeping away everything with overwhelming momentum and killing Jiang Xuan decisively; they had imagined the Old Peng King cherishing the Heaven's Pride, unwilling to let him perish just like that, the two sides making peace; they had also imagined Jiang Xuan escaping with his life using his elusive movement technique, the matter ending inconclusively.

But they absolutely never expected this battle would end with the Old Peng King paying the tremendous price of three drops of true blood.

The Old Peng King was already advanced in years, having lived for several thousand years; this great battle cost him three drops of Great Peng true blood, and I'm afraid for the rest of his life he will find it difficult to break through to a higher realm, unless a heaven-defying opportunity arises to make up for his damaged foundation.

The Golden Age is coming soon; the old generation powerhouses also have a chance to climb higher, but now the Old Peng King's foundation is damaged, falling a huge step behind others — one must say this is a kind of tragedy.

Jiang Xuan's wild laughter shook a hundred li, unrivaled under heaven.

After a short while, Jiang Xuan took a step out, leading Xiao Nian Nian by the hand, took another step out, and vanished.

During the battle with the Old Peng King, he had placed Xiao Nian Nian a hundred li away, enveloping her with the Vajra Ring Divine Ability; only then could he fight the Old Peng King with peace of mind.

……

"Sigh, the Golden Age is coming soon, Heaven's Prides from all sides contending for the Dao, monster geniuses emerging endlessly, hard to distinguish high from low; now, a true peerless madman who surpasses everyone has appeared."

"Sharing a lifetime with Jiang Xuan is fortune, and also misfortune."

The Zifu Saint Son, Dayan Saint Son, and Wanchu Saint Son all had flickering gazes, unknown what they were thinking.

The little nun from the Daxia Dynasty tugged at the Daxia Prince's robe, unable to believe that Jiang Xuan, who not long ago had to rely on the might of an Emperor Weapon to run rampant in the Holy City, now actually suppressed the Golden-Winged Great Peng King — doesn't this mean he already possesses Saint Lord level combat power? How long has it been!

……

One month later, a nameless mountain range in Donghuang.

Jiang Xuan sat cross-legged, opened his mouth and swallowed, the three drops of Great Peng true blood entering his mouth entirely.

A month of contemplation and deduction, and he had already fully grasped the direction of breakthrough. That day the Old Peng King came crashing down with the Great Peng Devouring Dragon Diagram; he used his Yin-Yang Dual Pupils to see through the falsehood, gaze directly at the essence, and discovered this innate phenomenon was branded within the bloodline brand. As long as this clan's ancient Great Peng bloodline concentration is dense enough, upon reaching a certain realm the phenomenon arises naturally. In the eyes of everyone in the Zhe Tian Jie, this is both a phenomenon and a killing technique, but in Jiang Xuan's view, this is an innate divine ability.

This is a bloodline treasure bestowed by the ancient Great Peng ancestor upon later descendants. When realm and power are sufficient to wield the Great Peng Devouring Dragon Divine Ability, this divine ability will become the most powerful killing technique for every Great Peng.

"In my view, the Great Peng Devouring Dragon Diagram differs not at all from my many divine abilities; all are branded upon bloodline and flesh. However, the Old Peng King's divine ability has clearly been cultivated to an extremely high realm, with Dao and principle interwoven. This realm is not brought about by the Old Peng King's secret realm system's elevation, but by refining this divine ability itself to an extremely high realm."

"My many divine abilities were achieved through the merit of refining magic treasures; magic treasures transformed into divine abilities, serving as power source and also as means to protect the Dao. But have these magic treasures truly fused completely with me? Is it borrowing the magic treasure's power, or truly my own power? Have the magic treasure and flesh body truly become one primal chaos?"

A strange color flashed through Jiang Xuan's eyes; his right hand formed fingers into a sword, slashing at his left arm.

Bang!

Crimson light and Xuanhuang light interwove and flickered, a clang of metal striking metal shook the air; his left arm bore not a trace of a mark, not even a single fine hair on the arm was severed.

Jiang Xuan circulated the mana within his body again, attempting to force out a drop of essence blood.

Qi surged, long hair danced wildly, rubble flew through the air for ten li around the mountain range; yet let alone essence blood, not even a thread of blood qi emerged.

"A perfected flesh body is absolutely not like this. A truly powerful flesh body should be in perfect accord with oneself; every hair, every particle under one's control — not like now, seemingly a sturdy monster pieced together."

Although his magic treasures are incomparably marvelous, his combat power and defense unrivaled under heaven, Jiang Xuan still frowned tightly, filled with disdain for the magic treasure divine abilities he originally took pride in, thinking to himself:

"The divine ability I need should be invincible in close combat, unmatched in ranged attack, capable of flying heaven and burrowing earth, divine might unfathomable, possessing ability unparalleled through the ages, possessing function at will... such a divine ability should be..."

Jiang Xuan's heart thundered; he murmured: "Such a divine ability, only the true self can attain, and at will. Even magic treasures refined day and night, with mind and spirit communing, Dao merging, cannot reach it. Can my refining system achieve it? Unless..."

His Primordial Spirit scanned his flesh body, recalling the many cultivation methods he had learned; countless thoughts and ideas surged in his mind like a tidal wave.

The refining system treats the flesh body as a treasure vault, refining various divine materials into treasures, serving as invincible divine abilities. Body, hair, skin, flesh, blood, bones, four limbs, hundred bones, all acupoints throughout the body, even the brain and Primordial Spirit — all fuse magic treasures, even constructing the body's most minute particles, all fusing endless magic treasures. Every minute particle is a power source, a divine ability great technique.

At that time, he would need no Emperor Weapons; his own self would surpass Emperor Weapons countless times over.

With a wave of his hand, countless divine abilities erupt; in a single thought, he flees hundreds of millions of li; in close combat he shatters spacetime; wherever his mind reaches, wherever his will directs, divine abilities unrivaled, mana boundless.

In Jiang Xuan's conception, once he refines all particles into treasures, every minute particle becomes a powerful magic treasure containing torrential mana. What Extreme Dao Great Emperor, what Immortal King or Immortal Emperor — all must bow their heads beneath his divine abilities.

Jiang Xuan spat out the three drops of Great Peng true blood; examining them again, he only felt that in these three drops of true blood, the Great Peng Devouring Dragon Diagram's Dao merged with blood, as if it was originally so, as if it should originally be so.

Jiang Xuan stared blankly, "The Great Dao can be anticipated, the Great Dao can be anticipated... Hahaha!"

His refining system's direction was not wrong, but magic treasures and flesh body should have an even tighter connection, not merely a simple fusion into the flesh body. The Great Peng Devouring Dragon Diagram is contained within Great Peng true blood; his many divine abilities should likewise fuse into every thread of true blood, even into particles, not simply fixed at some body part.

The Yin-Yang Life and Death Divine Light should not only be emitted from the dual eyes; with a wave of the hand, Yin-Yang power should shatter everything. The Vajra Ring Divine Ability should not only be usable by the left hand; the true Vajra Ring Divine Ability — how could it merely collect all treasures? With a thought, the whole person should collapse heaven and extinguish earth, able to strike all things. Even the Xuanhuang Mother Qi, when used by him, only retains defensive ability, completely failing to display its true divine might.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace, the Immortal Trapping Sword... countless thoughts collided.

The true refining system is not simply fusing magic treasures into the flesh body, or refining body parts into treasures, but extracting magic treasure Dao principles, absorbing magic treasures and even the essence of all things, condensing within the body Dao principles that truly belong to oneself. Divine abilities condensed this way will not be restricted by Dao and principle, just like a true Special Constitution.

Jiang Xuan's gaze grew brighter and brighter; a feeling of great liberation, great freedom, of exhilarating satisfaction surged forth.

"Only, to achieve this still requires deeper study; I can only make the various Special Constitutions of this world suffer a bit."
