Chapter 553 - 553 550 Refining the Innate Spiritual Embryo

553: Chapter 550: Refining the Innate Spiritual Embryo 553: Chapter 550: Refining the Innate Spiritual Embryo After Gudu Leng, Wang Biaoyuan, and the others left, Huang Xiaolong also flashed away from his original location.

As for the first place in this freshman task, Huang Xiaolong didn’t care much; what was most important to him now was to break through to the Half-step Divine Realm Peak.

He possessed an Innate Spiritual Embryo, so as long as he broke through to the Half-step Divine Realm Peak, the subsequent breakthrough to the Divine Realm would be easier.

Three days later, Huang Xiaolong came to a halt above a valley, frowning.

During these three days, nearly all the ghost creatures he encountered were at Half-step Divine Realm or Half-step Divine Realm Peak; he seldom encountered ghost creatures at Divine Realm, and in three days, he managed to kill only a little over twenty of them.

On average, less than ten per day.

Huang Xiaolong felt somewhat frustrated.

At this rate, it would take at least another ten days for him to break through to the Half-step Divine Realm Peak.

“Ten days,” Huang Xiaolong muttered to himself.

This freshman task lasted a month, and if it took ten days to break through to the Half-step Divine Realm Peak, there would be twenty days left.

“It seems I will have to wait until I return to make the breakthrough to the Divine Realm,” Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.

Refining the Innate Spiritual Embryo and breaking through to the Divine Realm wasn’t something that could be achieved in just ten days or half a month.

So, he would have to wait until he returned to the Xuanwu Realm after a month to refine the Innate Spiritual Embryo and make the breakthrough to the Divine Realm.

Ten days passed quickly.

Huang Xiaolong’s hands formed claws, and with the Asura Ghost Claw, he instantly burst the attacking Divine Realm ghost creature, sucked in his ghost soul, and refined it directly using the Blood Contract Method with a single gulp.

Right after Huang Xiaolong refined the Middle Divine Domain ghost soul, suddenly, his whole body shook violently, and a slight crackling sound came from within.

A surging power burst forth like a tsunami.

Joy arose in Huang Xiaolong’s heart.

Half-step Divine Realm Peak!

He had finally broken through to the Half-step Divine Realm Peak!

A while later, Huang Xiaolong managed to suppress the joy in his heart and took out the freshman task badge.

During these ten days, Huang Xiaolong had not paid attention to the points on the freshman task badge, nor did he know what his current points and ranking were.

“Seventh place, six billion eight hundred and thirty-two million one hundred and twenty thousand points,” as Huang Xiaolong’s thoughts delved into the badge, a piece of information appeared in his mind.

Seventh place, not too bad.

Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.

These days, he had chiefly been hunting Divine Realm ghost creatures, dealing with Half-step Divine Realm and Half-step Divine Realm Peak ghost creatures only occasionally; being in seventh, in Huang Xiaolong’s view, was already quite good, as he initially thought he might fall out of the top ten.

Currently, the first place was still Gudu Leng, but now the second place was Wang Biaoyuan, and Jiang Shaoze was third.

However, now that he had broken through to the Half-step Divine Realm Peak, it was time to go all out in his hunting.

Huang Xiaolong soared into the sky, the Innate True Essence in his Dantian operated, and Innate True Fire continuously spread around his body, forming a sea of fire; wherever Huang Xiaolong went, all ghost creatures were incinerated.

The most effective against these ghost creatures was indeed the Innate True Fire.

Therefore, Huang Xiaolong did not use the Asura Sword Technique or other combat skills.

Time passed.

Half a month had gone by.

Huang Xiaolong, who was originally seventh, had overtaken the others just like during the new student assessment, seizing first place once again.

Gudu Leng fell to second place.

Initially, Gudu Leng, Wang Biaoyuan, and Jiang Shaoze had been pleased to see Huang Xiaolong trailing in the rankings, but after half a month, to their surprise, Huang Xiaolong, just like the last time, surged ahead of them and quickly climbed to the top.

Afterward, just like in the previous new student assessment, no matter how hard Gudu Leng and the others tried to catch up, the distance between them and Huang Xiaolong only grew further.

A month later, at the end of the new student mission, Huang Xiaolong unsurprisingly clinched the first place again.

When Zhang Tianchuan led Huang Xiaolong and the others back to the Xuanwu Realm through the Transmission Array, Wang Biaoyuan and Jiang Shaoze’s faces were rather gloomy, especially Wang Biaoyuan’s.

Originally, Wang Biaoyuan had found Innate Essence Gold with the help of the Treasure Map and had secluded himself for two months to refine it, significantly boosting his power.

He felt that this new student mission would be his chance to finally surpass Huang Xiaolong, but he hadn’t expected the points difference with Huang Xiaolong to be even greater than last time!

Zhang Tianchuan led everyone back to the Supreme Harmony Palace, and after their return, he handed out rewards to the top three.

Watching Huang Xiaolong step forward to receive the first-place reward, Wang Biaoyuan’s eyes darkened, “Young lad, just be arrogant a little longer.

Let’s see if you can still be so arrogant in the next new student assessment.”

After Huang Xiaolong received his reward, Zhang Tianchuan followed up with courteous and friendly words of encouragement.

Half an hour later, Zhang Tianchuan told everyone to leave.

After leaving, Huang Xiaolong went straight back to his palace, then entered the Sumeru Divine Palace.

Upon arriving at the Sumeru Divine Palace, Huang Xiaolong looked at the Innate Spiritual Embryo in the middle of the Ten Buddha Formation, his heart pounding with excitement.

The time to refine the Innate Spiritual Embryo had finally arrived.

All these days, Huang Xiaolong could only watch the Innate Spiritual Embryo, feeling an itching desire in his heart.

“Youngster Huang, this Innate Spiritual Embryo has already developed consciousness, you must be careful while refining it,” at that moment, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi’s warning voice rang out, “Otherwise, if the refining fails, it might usurp your physical body instead.”

To break through to the Divine Domain by refining this Innate Spiritual Embryo, even Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi could not lend a hand; it was something Huang Xiaolong would have to achieve on his own.

Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi could not help but voice a reminder.

Huang Xiaolong nodded solemnly, took a deep breath to suppress his excitement, approached the Innate Spiritual Embryo, sat down cross-legged, and only when his heart was as calm as still water did he start to run the Asura Technique, gradually unlocking the seals on the Innate Spiritual Embryo.

A moment later, Huang Xiaolong inhaled sharply, and instantly, the terrifying spiritual energy within the Spiritual Embryo surged into his body like raging waves.

Despite his Primordial Dragon Body, the sudden onslaught of the terrifying spiritual energy from the Innate Spiritual Embryo shook him, causing a faint pain.

Huang Xiaolong was taken aback.

Ever since he had cultivated the Treasure Dragon Body Protection Technique, creating an Array Map within his body, no matter how many Divine Pills or Demon Cores he consumed, he had never felt pain again.

Now, the terrifying spiritual energy of the Innate Spiritual Embryo was even overwhelming his Primordial Dragon Body?!

Huang Xiaolong quickly gathered his focus and repeatedly ran the Asura Technique.

An Array Map automatically formed within his body, continuously devouring the terrifying spiritual energy from the Innate Spiritual Embryo and transforming it for Huang Xiaolong’s use.

Over and over again.

Several hours later, the pain had significantly lessened.

However, even so, Huang Xiaolong dared not let his guard down, as he could feel the Innate Spiritual Embryo within the Spirit Stone struggling more and more violently.

If not for the Prohibition previously placed by Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi, the Innate Spiritual Embryo might have escaped from the stone already.

One day later, far from weakening, the struggle of the Innate Spiritual Embryo had become even more fierce.

As the struggle of the Innate Spiritual Embryo intensified, the spiritual energy flooding into Huang Xiaolong’s body grew stronger, and even the Array Map of the Treasure Dragon Body Protection Technique could not absorb so much terrifying spiritual energy.

Huang Xiaolong’s Primordial Dragon Body even began to crack open bit by bit.
