Chapter 465: Chapter 441 Building Heaven and Earth in the Dantian_2

The key to its victory lay in the new knowledge it had absorbed over the years, and the completely new secrets it had come to understand.

Once it merged the ancient and dusty Origin Demon Soul into itself, the part of its memory that had been lost began to return.

Represented by its Demon Light, Demon Flame, and Demon Cloud, the small world within the sword expanded.

It was able to grow stronger through those bee insects with independent consciousness, through the Ice Armor Eel Dragon, and through the White Fox, drawing power from the evil thoughts within their hearts.

Only Pang Jian and the Bee King, with unblemished and seamless souls, could not be exploited by it to steal the nourishing power.

When Pang Jian was immersed in tranquil cultivation and not physically holding the sword, it could not actively communicate with Pang Jian.

"A level-nine, Five-clawed Golden Dragon, even when seriously injured, is not so easy to deal with. Its dragon claws and horns are the sharpest things in the world. If they could be integrated into this sword..."

The Demon Soul of the Origin Demon was full of longing, hoping that Pang Jian would reach out and touch the sword.

—It wanted to make another trade with Pang Jian.

...

"Huh!"

Pang Jian’s Spiritual Soul left the beehive and sank into his own Sea of Consciousness.

With the nourishment of his Qi and Blood, along with the aid of the Soul Nurturing Pill, he continued to refine his Spiritual Soul using the "Pot Heaven Nourishing Qi Spell" and kept an eye on the condition of his dantian.

At this moment, his vast Spiritual Sea had shrunk several times over.

And the fragment land, like a piece of green giant rock, had expanded outward, incorporating the Flame Pool, Ice Pool, Thunder Pond wrapped in the Thunder Vortex, and the black and yellow fragment land bestowed by the Mysterious Turtle.

Now looking at the dantian again, the lustrous green fragment land surrounded by the sea resembled a colossal island embedded within the marine area.

The sea encircling the island existed within a desolate and void space-time; the dome above sparkled with the Star River, showered in the glow of stars and moon, streaming with dazzling Star Power.

To Pang Jian’s surprise, the Flame Pool settled on the green crystal fragment land was actively absorbing the sunlight.

The Ice Pool was drawing in the power of stars and moon.

The nature of the Flame Pool was akin to the sun, and the Extreme Cold Alien Power was compatible with the Moon Energy, their traits being vividly displayed.

Settled at the bottom of the Ice Pool, the "Heart of Winter" originating from the Ice Demon was channeling the light of the stars and moon, and the many Extreme Cold mysteries within it, stemming from the Ice Demon, were quietly undergoing new changes.

Pang Jian, with his nimble thought process and light of wisdom shining, silently observed and understood.

Many of the Cold Ice secrets comprehended by the Ice Demon, due to the illumination of the stars and moonlight, became clearer and more distinct.

His comprehension, on re-attempting, became much easier.

Even the Thunder Pond, engulfed by the Thunder Vortex and located on top of the green crystal fragment land, seemed to grow much closer to Pang Jian.

When he tried to once more inspect the mysteries of the Thunder Pond with his Divine Sense, the clusters of Thunder Principles inscribed on the walls of the pond subtly twisted into bunches of dazzling lightning, as if performing the profundities of Thunder Principles.

Many symbols, transformed into lightning, were revealed under the perception of his Divine Sense, bearing the essence of the destruction of Thunderbolt Principles contemplated by the Thunder God.

However, merely after a moment, Pang Jian felt mentally exhausted.

Understanding the Great Tao Truths within the Thunder Pond was exhausting and mentally taxing. He knew he should not devote too much energy to it during this critical breakthrough phase.

"After the Extinction Realm, the Spiritual Sea within the dantian will eventually become a fragment land. It seems that all the Divine Objects resting upon the fragment land can be analyzed through the Spiritual Soul, but this would require a very long period of time."

Pang Jian, pondering internally, continued to focus on the peculiar transformation within his dantian.

After a while longer, there was no liquid Spiritual Sea within his dantian, only the lustrous green fragment land remained.

A piece of lustrous green fragment land, floating in the empty void of the human body, contained refined and pure Spiritual Power.

As for the black and yellow fragment land bestowed by the Mysterious Turtle, it had turned into a black and yellow hill, standing tall upon the fragment land.

The Flame Pool sank downwards, the Ice Pool sank downwards, and the Thunder Vortex also sank downwards.

Three slender, crystalline threads emerged from the Flame Pool, Ice Pool, and Thunder Vortex, permeating into the interior of the lustrous green fragment land, like three rare meridians.

At first glance, they appeared to be three special veins.

And all of this occurred naturally, without any manipulation from Pang Jian.

His peculiar Chaos Sea, evolving step by step, seemed as though it would eventually reveal such a spectacle—constructing a small world within his dantian.

But this world was not yet complete, with too many missing parts.

"The Cold Ice, Thunderbolt, and Flame secrets that I have comprehended will become the Great Tao of this world. The Fragment Land, filled with Spiritual Power as the foundation of heaven and earth, should also have unique crystalline vein patterns, with mountains, thunder, flames..."

Pang Jian was immersed in himself, his consciousness roaming the exquisite small world.

Unbeknownst to him, the nature’s spiritual energy of the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land was becoming thinner and thinner.

He did not feel it himself, unaware that he was like a bottomless pit, swallowing the Spiritual Energy of the entire Forbidden Land to forge the miracle within his dantian.

It wasn’t until he noticed that the luminescent Fragment Land in his dantian was no longer growing that he realized something was amiss.

When he suddenly could not feel the inflow of nature’s spiritual energy in the Fragment Land where he was, he abruptly woke up.

He realized that his advancement to the Extinction Realm might have to pause for a while.

His consciousness immediately communicated with the Bee King, connecting with one bee insect after another, and then he saw the Bee King, in human form, standing beside a horn of the Ice Armor Eel Dragon that gleamed like Cold Crystal in the dim Mysterious Fog.

At the base of the other horn was the White Fox crouching.

The Ice Armor Eel Dragon, in its true form with a body length exceeding a thousand feet, was covered in scales like Extreme Cold Ice Crystals. Its body was wrapped in vapor, drifting through the Mysterious Fog.

The Five-clawed Golden Dragon, a tenth of its size, was trembling with its Golden Gleaming Dragon Scales, spattering golden blood in an attempt to escape along the way.

Long Zhan was actually being chased by the Ice Armor Eel Dragon!

This five-clawed Golden Dragon, which had a fearsome reputation in the Saint Spirit Continent and among the Demon Race, causing even the White Fox to feel deep terror, was constantly humiliated within the Mysterious Fog.

First it was toyed with, then severely hit by the Human True God Fan Ao, and now howled at and pursued by the Ice Armor Eel Dragon.

The pride and arrogance of Long Zhan, who once slain Fan Chen in an instant in the Saint Spirit Continent, were completely gone.

"You old thing, I want to see where you can escape to,"

the Ice Armor Eel Dragon laughed wildly.

Bursts of Thunderbolt and clusters of Cold Ice Storm were vomited out by it, exploding in front of Long Zhan’s escape path, inflicting more injuries on the struggling Five-clawed Golden Dragon.

The golden eyes of Long Zhan, a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, filled with extreme frustration as if it had never suffered such a great humiliation before.

Living in the Fifth Realm of Purgatory, the Ice Armor Eel Dragon, from a Dragon Race branch with unorthodox origins, never looked up to dragons with pure bloodlines like itself.

Being chased by such a Wild Dragon was unbearable for him, who had always prided himself on his noble bloodline.

He had not expected that, in an attempt to avoid the True God Fan Ao, he could be so unlucky as to encounter a level nine Wild Dragon by randomly choosing and charging in one direction.

And this level nine Wild Dragon, its bloodline was completely intact, without any loss.

Moreover, among the bloodlines of this Wild Dragon, there were water, thunder, and ice—three kinds of powers that could be fused and utilized together.

While fleeing, grief welled up inside Long Zhan.

If he could naturally possess three unique bloodlines like the Ice Armor Eel Dragon, why would he need to wait for Fan Ao to perish?

With his talent and the favoritism of the old ancestors towards him, Long Zhan should have already been able to use an unoccupied Divine Tao bloodline to ascend to a level ten Demon God.

In that case, why would he have been so injured by Fan Ao, and why would he be chased by a Wild Dragon?

"Swoosh!"

After executing the Secret Skill "Dragon Blood Escape" once again, Long Zhan no longer had the strength to flee and prepared himself for imminent death.

It was at this moment that a man in silver armor appeared out of nowhere, standing beside Long Zhan with indifferent eyes beneath the mask, watching the Golden Dragon on the verge of death.

A Golden Bee Insect that witnessed this scene perished in an instant.

Atop the head of the Ice Armor Eel Dragon, the Bee King, which had been using the bee insects to navigate and consistently find Long Zhan, suddenly became silent.

"Direction! Give me a direction quickly, he can’t make it anymore! I want his Dragon Heart. As long as I get that heart, I can join the fight for the Demon God!" the Ice Armor Eel Dragon howled, continually urging the Bee King.
