Behind the lightning platform, space fluctuated with innumerable streaks of light that were akin to shooting stars, which was extremely gorgeous.
Every single streak of light contained drops of Lightning Essence, which was the source of the greed in the eyes of Mu Chen and the rest. In ancient times, it was said that many Divine Beasts would use Lightning Essences to refine their bodies when they refined their physical bodies, causing their bodies to be indestructible.
However, Lightning Essences weren't common. In the current Great Thousand World, although Lightning Essences could be bought in large-scale auctions, their prices were extremely high. Furthermore, the moment they appeared, they would be instantly auctioned off, which made it hard for ordinary people to obtain them.
But right now, what appeared before their eyes was an earth-shattering amount of Lightning Essences, so how could they not feel their hearts surging?
"So this is the opportunity for obtaining the last five quotas …" Mu Chen licked his lips. If they could successfully pass through this space, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to experiencing the baptism of Lightning Essences, which was practically unimaginable for the tempering of their physiques.
This Body Refining Pagoda was truly filled with rare opportunities for the cultivation of the physique.
Looking from the outside, Mu Chen had only been in the Body Refining Pagoda for half a day, but the improvement of his physique was something that even a year of bitter cultivation couldn't compare to.
"It's no wonder why the experts gathered in the Divine Beast Origin occupied a third of the entire Divine Beast Continent …" Mu Chen sighed. With such a blessed cultivation condition, it was no wonder why the number and quality of experts in the Divine Beast Origin was so high.
Buzz!
Just as Mu Chen sighed, the five lightning mats beneath their feet started to vibrate as they buzzed. Thereafter, the mats carried them and slowly flew into the space that was filled with streaks of light.
When Mu Chen and the rest saw this, their hearts trembled and they immediately adjusted their state with blazing gazes.
Whoosh!
The five praying mats carried the five of them into that space. Streams of light whizzed over from all directions. The streams of light contained drops of Thunder Essence, causing the eyes of the five of them to turn red.
Han Shan was the first to act. His palm turned into a claw and suddenly clenched. A suction force erupted, directly locking onto a ray of light and forcefully pulling it over.
That streak of light had changed direction and was actually crashing over like a meteor.
Han Shan grinned and spread his arms. He did not use any Spiritual Energy because he knew that the Lightning Marrow could not be contaminated by Spiritual Energy. There was only one thing in the world that could contain it, and that was a body of flesh and blood.
Therefore, if one wanted to absorb the Thunder Essence, they would need to use their own bodies to receive it.
Bang!
The streak of light finally slammed into Han Shan's chest, causing a deep sound to ring out. One could see several bloody holes appearing on Han Shan's chest. Lightning could be seen flickering within those bloody holes as strands of lightning-like liquid flowed through the holes and rapidly fused into his flesh.
Han Shan's face had immediately distorted at this moment. Clearly, he was enduring a terrifying pain. When the Lightning Marrow entered his body, it would slowly dissolve in his body and refine his body, inch by inch.
The distortion on Han Shan's face lasted for a long time before it gradually disappeared. By the time he woke up, his entire body was drenched in sweat. The heat in his eyes had also greatly diminished, replaced by a palpitation. Clearly, the pain brought about by the Lightning Essence Body Tempering was not something that an ordinary person could endure.
A genius like Han Shan naturally had extraordinary willpower. But even so, he could only take a brief moment before he dared to absorb the Lightning Marrow.
At the same time, Mu Chen, Mo Feng and the other two had also started to absorb, but the outcome was the same as Han Shan. All of their faces were distorted from the pain and their bodies were constantly trembling when the Lightning Marrow entered their bodies.
When the pain passed, Mo Feng and the rest still had lingering fear on their faces. But only Mu Chen had a smear of a peculiar light in his eyes when he opened his eyes.
He lowered his head and looked at his chest. The bloody hole was swiftly recovering and his skin was faintly flickering with a silvery lustre. It was a change brought about by the Lightning Marrow.
Mu Chen could clearly sense that his body, which had absorbed the Lightning Marrow, was much tougher and stronger than the other parts of his body.
However, it wasn't those changes that made Mu Chen fall into deep thought. When the Lightning Marrow entered his body, he could clearly sense that the majority of the Lightning Marrow's energy was absorbed by the True Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos beneath his skin.
Mu Chen glanced at his arms. The True Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos were currently there, and he could vaguely sense that the True Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos were extremely lively. Furthermore, there was a sense of thirst being emitted from them. If he hadn't guessed incorrectly, they should be thirsting for the energy of the Lightning Marrow.
"They're really insatiable …"
Mu Chen muttered in his heart. He had finally experienced how difficult it was to cultivate the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra. Ever since he started cultivating it, he had never slacked off. It was so much so that he had invested a massive amount of resources into it, but he still couldn't reach the second level.
According to Mu Chen's estimations, if he couldn't make a breakthrough in the Body Refining Pagoda, then the breakthrough of the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra would have to be delayed for at least another year, which was unbearable for Mu Chen.
Right now, what he lacked the most was time!
Therefore, since there was such a massive amount of resources before him, then he definitely couldn't let it slip away.
Thinking about it, Mu Chen no longer hesitated and decisiveness flashed in his eyes. With a will in his heart, Spiritual Energy surged and formed into a powerful suction force that forcefully sucked the nearby streaks of light over.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
In just a short moment, there were nearly ten streaks of light that flew over with drops of Lightning Marrow surging with rumbling thunderous roars.
When Mo Feng, Han Shan and the rest saw that Mu Chen actually dared to absorb the Lightning Marrow, their faces instantly drained of colour and they immediately spread out, fearing that they would be affected.
They were well aware of the excruciating pain caused by the Lightning Essence entering their bodies. Therefore, it was best to take it slow. If they were to rush it, the first thing that would not be able to withstand the melting of the Lightning Essence would be their bodies.
At that time, if the Lightning Marrow was too powerful, then their bodies would be melted.
Rumble!
The streaks of light whistled over and they were like cannonballs as they slammed against Mu Chen's body. Instantly, bloody holes appeared on his body, instantly turning him into a bloody mess.
As his blood flowed, the silver Lightning Marrow fused into his body. The intense pain had instantly caused Mu Chen's eyes to turn red.
He clenched his teeth as beads of sweat flowed down his face. His entire face was terrifyingly distorted as a painful roar resounded from his throat like a wild beast. Sizzle!
Sizzle!
He could even hear a peculiar sound coming from his body when it came in contact with the Lightning Marrow. It felt as if his body was being melted.
An indescribable pain surged, causing Mu Chen to nearly faint.
However, just when Mu Chen couldn't endure the pain, the True Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos finally moved and a draconic roar and phoenix cry resounded from within Mu Chen's body.
Buzz!
The draconic roar and phoenix cry resounded, causing the Blood and Qi in Mu Chen's body to surge. However, the intense pain was swiftly suppressed at this moment.
After the intense pain subsided, only then did Mu Chen feel relieved. If the True Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos still didn't make a move, then he would have no choice but to give up this time.
While he was feeling relieved, the Lightning Marrow that had fused into his body had also turned into silver streaks of light before being absorbed by the True Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos on Mu Chen's arms.
Mu Chen opened his eyes as a silvery light flickered within them. His body, which was originally a mess of blood and flesh, was rapidly recovering at this moment. His skin flickered with a faint lightning light. Clearly, he had been refined and had become even more tyrannical.
"He's actually not dead?!"
When Zong Teng, Han Shan and the rest saw Mu Chen recovering, their eyes narrowed. Even they wouldn't be able to bear the corrosion of the Lightning Marrow from before. But why was Mu Chen able to endure it so swiftly?
"Why is that fellow's physical body even more powerful than ours?!"
Xu Kun said with disbelief. They were Divine Beasts, so their physical bodies were powerful to begin with. But how could Mu Chen's physical body be more powerful than theirs?
But facing their astonishment, Mu Chen couldn't be bothered with them. At this moment, he had his head lowered to look at his arms. Not only did the True Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos become more vivid, the purplish-golden lustre also grew brighter. The sharp dragon scales and phoenix feathers were emitting a powerful pressure.
It felt as if they were about to be revived.
Sensing the improvement of the True Dragon and Phoenix Tattoos, Mu Chen became excited as he licked his lips, then raised his head to look at this space that was filled with streaks of light.
In the distance, he could vaguely see a massive halo, which should be the passage to the fourth level of the Body Refining Pagoda.
Right now, the Lightning Praying Mats under their feet were gradually carrying them towards the tunnel. They couldn't control the praying mats, so if they wanted to obtain enough Lightning Essence Baptism, they had to complete it before the praying mats reached the tunnel.
The other four clearly knew about this as well. Therefore, when they saw Mu Chen frantically absorbing the Lightning Essences, their eyes turned red. Right now, they were like hungry ghosts that were placed before a table filled with delicacies. They were starving to the point that their chests were sticking to their backs, but they could only carefully chew and swallow. As for Mu Chen, he was like a tornado sweeping through the clouds. No matter what was before him, he would devour it first.
The delicacies on the table were swiftly entering Mu Chen's stomach.
This was a considerable stimulation for them.
Thus, after a brief struggle, they clenched their teeth and their Spiritual Energy burst out, increasing the absorption of the Lightning Essences.
The price of this increased absorption was a series of painful howls that sounded like the wails of ghosts and the howls of wolves …
Hearing those low roars, the corner of Mu Chen's mouth curled up slightly. In the next instant, he closed his eyes and extended his arms. The Spiritual Energy within his body violently surged and a suction force erupted. In an instant, the streaks of light in the surroundings seemed to have encountered a magnet as they endlessly whizzed over and pounced towards Mu Chen's body.
When they saw Mu Chen's increasing suction strength, the eyelids of Han Shan and the others, who were howling in pain, immediately twitched. They could no longer resist cursing softly.
"He's simply inhuman!"
