The raging flames dyed the entire cave a fiery red. Under the blazing flames, a three-foot-tall golden colt stood a foot above the flames. The flames that could incinerate mountains and boil seas danced around its mane like a docile flame fairy.
Its two golden eyes flickered unceasingly, as if it was pondering over Xiao Chen's words. It let out a roar that sounded like it had a substance. A pair of flaming wings flapped lightly, and it stepped on the void and walked out of the flames.
A wave of spiritual energy rippled out. "Human, I can follow you, but you must abide by the eternal contract that my Pegasus Clan has made with the Human Race. The Pegasus Clan is not the slave of the Human Race, nor are we like the other vicious beasts that you have subdued. You cannot force me to sign an eternal contract with you unless I voluntarily submit to you!
This is an oath made by your Human Race ancestors. In my inherited memories, this eternal contract is still preserved in the Ancestral Hall of the Human Race. "
"Alright!
I will abide by this ancient contract! "
Seeing that the colt had relented, Xiao Chen hurriedly agreed. The Pegasus Clan submitted to the strongest. It was said that only the strongest of the Human Race could make the Pegasus lower their noble heads. At this moment, this young Pegasus Clan had already agreed to follow him out of the mountain. As for making it submit to him, there was still time.
Although this young colt was not yet an adult, it had inherited the powerful bloodline of its parents. In a short period of time, it had reached the realm of a two-star Wind Treading Colt. Xiao Chen even speculated that this colt's parents had reached the realm of a four-star Sky Treading Colt. Such a divine mount was something that all martial artists in the Great Wilderness yearned for. Now that Xiao Chen had encountered one, it was his opportunity.
Following which, Xiao Chen pretended to be generous and pushed the thousands of Essence Stones in front of the little colt, indicating that these were for it. In front of this crystalline, sugar-coated cannonball, the little colt finally succumbed. It was completely unaware of the evil intentions of the youth in front of it. It ferociously leaped into the pile of Essence Stones and chewed on the Essence Stones in large mouthfuls. It seemed to be very happy, as though it could already see its strength improving and it could see its mother again.
Only at this moment did Xiao Chen relax. He carefully sized up this young colt. Its entire body was golden without a single strand of mixed hair. Under the illumination of the raging flames, its golden hair looked like it was made of gold. Xiao Chen could not help but become more and more excited as he looked at it.
After a long time, Xiao Chen finally suppressed the excitement in his heart. The affairs of the world were unpredictable. Who would have thought that after being captured by the remnants of a foreign race in the depths of the Desolate Mountain Range, he would have such a great encounter? At this moment, the foreign race's resentful spirit had already been turned into ashes by his spear. He had obtained the [Green Lotus Body Refining Soup] that tempered his body and Qi, forged his Bronze Battle Body, and even met such a pure bloodline Pegasus.
Then, Xiao Chen moved his gaze away from the colt with great difficulty and once again looked at himself. At this moment, the blood and Qi in his body were abnormally vigorous. It seemed that in every pore of his body, there was a dense Qi and Qi that could not be released. However, this was not what he needed to pay attention to.
This Green Lotus Body Tempering Soup not only tempered his flesh and bones to the point that they were as hard as metal, but it also broadened and strengthened his meridians once again. If the six meridians that Xiao Chen had opened up were like six small streams, then the six small streams had already been widened into six small rivers. However, the water level of the rivers had decreased due to the strengthening of the channels.
Not bad!
At this moment, Xiao Chen's cultivation base was at the peak of the mid Blood Refining realm. Six of the twelve innate meridians in his body had already been opened, and the dense Battle Qi endlessly formed a Zhou Tian in his six meridians. However, at this moment, from the outside, his cultivation base had dropped to the mid Blood Refining realm.
That's right!
Out of his six meridians, three of them could no longer connect with the Battle Qi and had become empty. At this moment, his body could hold even more Battle Qi. He did not think that the Bronze Battle Body would have such an effect.
Immediately, Xiao Chen no longer hesitated. Right now, the colt had already been blinded by the source stones, and this cave was in an extremely secluded location, so there was no need to worry about safety.
Far away from the Earth Fire Melting Cave, Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged and took out the blood pill that had originally been placed in the space of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers. This blood pill was originally refined from the flesh and blood of countless humans. Refining it was the same as inheriting the will of these bloodline descendants. As a product of the heavens and earth, humans were the embodiment of the heavens and earth. Therefore, the effect of the blood pill refined from their flesh and blood could be imagined.
Currently, dozens of these blood pills had been destroyed in the battle, leaving only fifteen. As soon as the blood pill entered his stomach, it immediately slid into his body and loudly dissolved. A blood-red torrent immediately surged out and continuously filled every corner of Xiao Chen's body. Fortunately, Xiao Chen's body had already been tempered by the medicinal soup, and his internal organs had become even firmer. However, under the impact of this blood-red torrent, he could still feel a trace of scorching heat burning every inch of his flesh and cells. The medicinal power was scarlet like fire, but it was also sparkling and resplendent.
At this moment, Xiao Chen even felt that the medicinal power of this blood pill far surpassed that of the Blood Refining realm pills that he had refined. Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Chen circulated his cultivation method with all his might, refining this pure blood-red essence with all his might, transforming it into boundless Battle Qi that continuously filled his limbs and bones. Within his six originally exhausted meridians, large amounts of Battle Qi began to be generated to replenish the Battle Qi that was lacking.
Finally, the Battle Qi in the originally dried up meridians was gradually replenished. It turned into a surging river that circulated in the six meridians, nourishing the flesh and blood of his body. The effect of a single Blood Pill was so great that it was able to restore the Battle Qi in Xiao Chen's body to its peak. There was even some remaining.
At this moment, the second blood pill appeared out of nowhere in the air. The stench of blood enveloped the surroundings, and lines of patterns flashed across the surface of the pill. Without any hesitation, Xiao Chen opened his mouth and swallowed it into his stomach.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
At this moment, Xiao Chen's body was filled with thunderous sounds as Battle Qi roared. Within his originally full six meridians, new Battle Qi was constantly being generated, constantly squeezing the already full space within his meridians. At this moment, under the crazy generation of Battle Qi, Xiao Chen's body even showed signs of exploding.
Ang!
Finally, the meridians within his body could no longer hold any more Battle Qi. Xiao Chen opened the cage of this enormous Battle Qi, and the violent Battle Qi was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, fiercely rushing towards the end of his meridians.
Boom!
This was an astonishing moment. Under the effect of the blood-red pill, the original natural chasm of his meridians became like bubbles. Without the slightest resistance, they were smashed by the Battle Qi, and new meridians immediately opened up, connecting with the original meridians. At this moment, Xiao Chen's Battle Qi skyrocketed by an unknown amount, and the seventh meridian was opened.
He had broken through to the late stage of the Blood Refining realm!
