Demonic Dragon Bone, Battle Origin!

At the summit of White Dragon Mountain, a fierce wind howled.

Li Daochen sat cross-legged on a boulder.

Before his chest, the Luo Heaven Dragon Fruit hovered in the air, slowly revolving.

Wisps of purple light flowed around it, constantly entering Li Daochen's body.

Spirit fruits like this could be swallowed, but their power was so immense that eating one in a single bite made it hard to refine, and its power was easily lost.

Only by slowly refining it outside the body, as Li Daochen was doing, could one obtain its full power more completely.

As he refined it, the Holy Dragon Bone within him grew ever more brilliant and began to transform.

In this life, Li Daochen could follow his previous life's example and turn a single Holy Dragon Bone into a whole body of them!

Even without Yang Chen's Dragon Transformation Emperor Scripture, he could create the Battle Holy Dragon Physique!

But.

With the Xuanyuan Emperor Scripture in his possession, he would certainly create the Sun Holy Physique and the Lunar Demonic Physique!

Powerful as the Battle Holy Dragon Physique was, both the Sun Holy Physique and the Lunar Demonic Physique were even stronger physiques!

Thus, Li Daochen's path of cultivation from now on was to create a body with half Holy Dragon Bones and half Demonic Dragon Bones, corresponding to the sun and the lunar.

With dragon bones as the foundation, I'll transform their power into solar and lunar power. This will better suit my body and make it easier to balance yin and yang!

At a thought from Li Daochen, the Holy Dragon Bone stopped absorbing the Luo Heaven Dragon Fruit's power. He also split off a small section of the bone, about one percent of it.

Then the Lunar Emperor Rune began circling that section of Holy Dragon Bone, showering it with lunar power.

Gradually, the golden light took on an inky hue, and the golden Holy Dragon Bone began transforming into a black Demonic Dragon Bone.

Li Daochen had fallen into demonic cultivation once in his previous life, so he naturally knew how to create a Demonic Dragon Bone. In this life, with the Lunar Emperor Rune, he could create one without falling into demonic cultivation.

Lunar power was the ultimate yin power. Though it also belonged to the demonic path, it was far purer than demonic power!

Among humans, the Lunar Demonic Physique was the only recognized demonic cultivation physique!

That was because a Lunar Great Emperor had once appeared among the human race. To deny the Lunar Demonic Physique was to deny their ancestors!

Now, with the help of the Lunar Emperor Rune and the Luo Heaven Dragon Fruit, Li Daochen's Demonic Dragon Bone was growing rapidly.

Three days later.

The Luo Heaven Dragon Fruit had been completely absorbed.

The Demonic Dragon Bone within Li Daochen had also taken initial form, reaching the level his Holy Dragon Bone had been at before it was dug out. In other words, that single Demonic Dragon Bone alone was second only to a King Physique.

"The Luo Heaven Dragon Fruit truly lives up to its reputation as a supreme treasure of the dragon race. Its effects are powerful. What a pity it's so hard to obtain."

Li Daochen clenched his fist. His cultivation had also risen from the first level of Spirit Foundation to the fourth.

The Spirit Foundation realm involved opening the body's acupoints so that Spiritual Qi could be retained within it. The more acupoints one opened, the more Spiritual Qi one could store.

There were 365 known acupoints capable of holding Spiritual Qi!

But most cultivators reached their limit after opening a hundred!

Now, at the fourth level of Spirit Foundation, Li Daochen had already opened forty, ten at each level!

In this life, Li Daochen's goal was to open them all, reaching the limit sealed by the shackles of heaven and earth.

Though this would slow his cultivation, the stronger his foundation in the early stages, the greater his hope of becoming an emperor in the future.

Having already been planning to become an emperor in his previous life, Li Daochen understood this deeply.

In this life, time permitting, Li Daochen would certainly cultivate his foundation to the very limit.

Becoming an emperor...

Too hard! Far too hard!

How many prodigies throughout the ages had fallen on the path to becoming an emperor? Some lacked the lifespan, others the talent, and still others the necessary temperament!

Even if one's fortune was too poor, one could not become an emperor!

Even with the Xuanyuan Emperor Sword in his possession, Li Daochen could not guarantee that he would become an emperor.

So he had to seize every opportunity to increase his chances!

"Next, I'll absorb the Battle Origin of White Dragon Mountain."

A sharp light flashed in Li Daochen's eyes.

The Battle Sect held many secrets. When Yang Chen occupied this place in his previous life, he had gained many benefits.

The Battle Origin in White Dragon Mountain was not even the greatest opportunity here. Unfortunately, the others would only appear later.

And this strand of Battle Origin had most likely been left behind by the legendary Battle Sacred Emperor.

It had been dormant all along, which was why it had never been discovered through the long ages.

But.

The Dragon Transformation Emperor Scripture could awaken it!

Yang Chen had used the Holy Dragon Bone to establish a connection with White Dragon Mountain, and Li Daochen had devoured thirty percent of that bone. He now had a chance to obtain the Battle Origin.

In his previous life, Yang Chen had used this strand of Battle Origin to bring his Battle Holy Dragon Physique to minor completion, showing just how great its effects were.

Li Daochen planned to use it to begin creating the Sun Holy Physique.

The Battle Origin was of utmost yang and unyielding strength, making it a perfect match for the Holy Dragon Bone and the Sun Holy Physique!

The next moment.

Li Daochen sank his consciousness into the Holy Dragon Bone, then used it to communicate with White Dragon Mountain.

Hum!

Li Daochen's consciousness reeled as if heaven and earth were spinning. Then he sensed a sacred and terrifying white dragon appear within it.

Legend says the Battle Sacred Emperor possessed a portion of white dragon blood...

Li Daochen looked straight at the white dragon, silently enduring its pressure.

To obtain the Battle Origin, he naturally had to earn its approval.

Yang Chen had experienced this before, but Li Daochen was clearly much calmer than him.

Just as I expected, sending Yang Chen to White Dragon Mountain was the right move.

Seeing the white dragon, Li Daochen knew he had a chance to obtain the Battle Origin!

A long time later.

At the very center of White Dragon Mountain, an illusory white dragon the size of an adult's arm slowly opened its dragon eyes, which were utterly vacant.

However.

An ancient, boundless voice came from the white dragon's mouth.

"The Battle inheritance... has begun."

As soon as the words fell, the illusory white dragon broke free of White Dragon Mountain's layers of shackles and appeared above Li Daochen, gazing at him with its vacant eyes.

Seemingly sensing the Holy Dragon Bone within Li Daochen, the illusory white dragon did not hesitate. Its body grew slightly larger, then coiled around Li Daochen's body, loop after loop.

And just then.

Little Fire climbed up as well, staring wide-eyed at the illusory white dragon.

He had come because he sensed the presence of his own kind!

Suddenly.

The illusory white dragon, which had been about to merge into Li Daochen's body, also widened its dragon eyes and met Little Fire's gaze.

The next moment, a beam of white light shot out and entered Little Fire's body.

"Awoo..." Little Fire cried out, sensing strange things and memories appearing inside him.

Little Fire tilted his head and noticed that his dragon body had grown much stronger.

And as he thought about the memories that had appeared in his mind, he subconsciously clenched his claws.

Huff, ha...

Little Fire... had begun throwing punches!

At that moment, a thought popped into Little Fire's head.

White Dragon Sacred Fist!

The most ancient combat technique of the dragon race, it was almost a divine ability, accompanied by a profusion of manifestations, yet far stronger than the divine abilities of the present age!

Little Fire grew excited at once, his little claws pounding wildly with tremendous force.

As the saying went, when a spirit beast knows how to box, even saints and demons tremble...

And at this moment.

Li Daochen's transformation was even more terrifying, as the Battle Origin poured into his body.

The Holy Dragon Bone within him blazed with golden light at its utmost brilliance and could no longer absorb any more power. Then a new Holy Dragon Bone began to form.

Creating a Sacred Dragon Physique or a Demonic Dragon Physique meant turning every bone in the body into a sacred bone!

The prerequisite was for the first innate sacred bone to reach its limit, then give rise to a second, and eventually more, replacing the original bones.

A Sacred Dragon Physique at great completion had 365 bones!

Once perfected, every movement could shatter mountains and cleave seas!

As Li Daochen absorbed the Battle Origin, a second Holy Dragon Bone appeared. The Sun Emperor Talisman also began circling it of its own accord, showering it with streams of solar power that proved a perfect match.

Li Daochen was somewhat dumbstruck by this.

Originally, he had intended to transform the sacred dragon power into solar power to create the Sun Holy Physique.

Such a transformation would consume quite a bit of power, and no matter how reluctant he was to waste it, Li Daochen would have had to accept it.

But now, it seemed this step could be skipped, because the two powers had combined perfectly.

Perhaps the sacred physique he created from now on should be called the Solar Sacred Dragon Physique!

At a thought, Li Daochen examined his Demonic Dragon Bone. He had not noticed it at first, but now he saw that the Demonic Dragon Bone had also joined with the Lunar Emperor Rune extremely closely.

To tell the truth, Li Daochen had originally only intended to use the Lunar Emperor Rune to simulate his descent into demonic cultivation so that he could create a Demonic Dragon Bone.

Still, this was certainly a good thing!

His future physique would be even stronger!

"Man proposes, heaven disposes. Even if Great Emperor Xuanyuan were alive, he probably wouldn't have imagined his emperor scripture was this wondrous." Li Daochen marveled, overjoyed.

Li Daochen continued refining the Battle Origin.

Ten days later.

Roar...

A piercing dragon roar resounded throughout the Battle Sect, drawing everyone's attention.

"Did he succeed?"

Li Tianxing, who had been keeping watch at the foot of White Dragon Mountain, abruptly looked up, tension appearing in his eyes.

Li Tianxing himself had a poor physique and knew all too well how much a physique's strength affected cultivation. That was why he dreamed of his son attaining a King Physique!
