Reforging the Holy Bone, Refining the Dragon Soul!

The power in the Blood Dragon Pool was terrifyingly concentrated. Anyone who could absorb it would gain a tremendous fortune.

Unfortunately, that power was far too violent and could corrode flesh and blood. Ordinary people simply couldn't absorb it.

In his previous life, Li Daochen had also thought he was certain to die before jumping in. Yet, unexpectedly, he had been able to use the power of the Blood Dragon Pool to reforge his Holy Dragon Bone, and his crippled cultivation had recovered in the process!

The first realm of cultivation, Blood Refining, involved refining the blood of spirit beasts to strengthen the body!

No one knew how much power from flesh and blood the Blood Dragon Pool had corroded away. Anyone who could refine it would surely gain immense nourishment!

That was how Li Daochen had reforged his foundation in his previous life, making it even more solid than before. Unfortunately, he had wasted far too much time.

The reason was that a flood dragon remnant soul dwelled in the Blood Dragon Pool.

It had seen that Li Daochen possessed the Holy Dragon Bone, which was perfectly compatible with it, and had conceived the desire to possess his body.

In his previous life, Li Daochen had spent a full ten years before finally breaking free, and even then, he had been unable to do anything to the flood dragon remnant soul!

At that moment.

Yang Yue struggled wildly, convinced that Li Daochen intended to drag her down with him!

But Yang Yue had already exhausted herself fighting the fire monkeys, and Li Daochen had struck her with his blade. With the Blood Dragon Pool corroding her as well, she simply couldn't break free of him.

No!

At this rate, the odds would be heavily against her!

Yang Yue's face twisted, but the next moment, she put on a pitiful expression and looked at Li Daochen pleadingly.

"Li Daochen, I know I was wrong. Let me go, and I'll do whatever you say from now on..."

Yang Yue was already cute and pretty, and looking like this, she could melt anyone's heart.

Li Daochen took one look and slapped her without another word.

Put on an act for your granny!

Li Daochen didn't believe for a moment that Yang Yue knew she was wrong, nor did he want her submission. He just wanted to kill her.

Yang Yue froze, not expecting Li Daochen to be so ruthless. Then she struggled even more frantically.

Li Daochen held her in a death grip while keeping watch for the flood dragon remnant soul.

They were close to the bottom of the pool now. The flood dragon remnant soul must have set its sights on them.

The flood dragon remnant soul has no real fighting power of its own, but it can burrow into other living beings and seize control of their bodies. This life, though, I have the Xuanyuan Emperor Scripture. There's no way it can control me so easily again...

Li Daochen thought quickly.

And if it can't easily take my body, nine times out of ten it'll settle for the next best thing and possess Yang Yue to deal with me...

Soon.

Roar!

A terrifying dragon's roar exploded in Li Daochen's ears, making him lose his senses for a brief moment.

Just as I thought!

That was Li Daochen's thought before he lost his senses. The flood dragon remnant soul had done the same in his previous life, then seized the chance to take over his body.

When Li Daochen came to his senses, he immediately discovered a savage, ancient blood-colored flood dragon inside him.

It charged greedily toward the Holy Dragon Bone.

But as soon as it drew near, the Xuanyuan Emperor Sword erupted with a terrifying sword radiance, making the flood dragon remnant soul scream again and again.

The Emperor Sword... was a powerful counter to this kind of sinister thing!

With no other choice, the flood dragon remnant soul had to leave Li Daochen's body.

Li Daochen raised his head and saw the flood dragon remnant soul staring at him with fear and greed.

When enemies met, their eyes burned red!

He hadn't killed it in his previous life, but this time he wouldn't let it have an easy time, no matter what!

Li Daochen's heart was brimming with killing intent.

Then Li Daochen gave the flood dragon remnant soul a provocative look and began absorbing the power of the Blood Dragon Pool right in front of it.

That power was immense nourishment for Li Daochen at the moment, and his once-withered Holy Dragon Bone began to stir.

Seeing this, the flood dragon remnant soul immediately roared in rage.

But there was something inside Li Daochen that could hurt it, so it didn't dare act rashly.

After mulling it over, the flood dragon remnant soul looked at Yang Yue beside him.

It could tell that Yang Yue's cultivation realm was higher than Li Daochen's. If it possessed her, it should be able to deal with him!

Without much hesitation, the flood dragon remnant soul did just that.

Yang Yue struggled in even greater pain, her eyes filled with terror.

Seeing this, Li Daochen sneered, and his heart also settled.

If the flood dragon remnant soul had tried to possess him at any cost from the start, it would have been a great nuisance even with the Xuanyuan Emperor Sword, and it would have interfered with his reforging of the Holy Dragon Bone.

But now that the flood dragon remnant soul had gone to possess Yang Yue, it had given him time to recover!

This was the real reason Li Daochen had tricked Yang Yue into coming to the Blood Dragon Pool!

Killing her was just a side benefit!

The next moment.

While keeping his guard up against the flood dragon remnant soul, Li Daochen began madly absorbing the power of the Blood Dragon Pool.

The Holy Dragon Bone could absorb it, and surprisingly, so could the Xuanyuan Emperor Scripture. Working together, the two were far faster than Li Daochen had been in his previous life.

The Sun Emperor Talisman inside Li Daochen blazed with light, channeling the absorbed power into the Holy Dragon Bone.

The Holy Dragon Bone was supremely firm and supremely yang, perfectly suited to the Sun Holy Physique!

When Li Daochen cultivated the Sun Holy Physique in the future, the Holy Dragon Bone would surely serve as its foundation!

Excellent! Li Daochen's spirits rose.

Beside him, Yang Yue's face was a mask of pain as the flood dragon remnant soul possessed her.

Naturally, Yang Yue resisted, but she didn't even have a Holy Dragon Bone. How could she withstand the flood dragon remnant soul?

In just five days, Yang Yue's gaze changed. At times it grew ancient and savage, staring fixedly at Li Daochen.

The flood dragon remnant soul's possession was going smoothly!

Seeing Li Daochen madly absorbing the power of the Blood Dragon Pool that belonged to it, the flood dragon remnant soul was naturally furious.

But the flood dragon remnant soul didn't act rashly. It intended to finish the possession before killing him in a single blow!

Another five days passed like this!

Boom!

Yang Yue, who had been as still as a corpse, suddenly moved. She lunged at Li Daochen like a wild beast, stirring up the power all around them.

Yang Yue had been completely possessed!

Li Daochen opened his eyes, a sharp light surging within them.

After ten days of cultivation, Li Daochen had not only partially repaired his Holy Dragon Bone, but his previously crippled cultivation had also reached the Blood Refining Fourth Layer.

You're only making your move now? Too late! Li Daochen snorted inwardly and fought Yang Yue.

Before, even without any cultivation, Li Daochen had been confident he could beat Yang Yue to death. Now, even with the flood dragon remnant soul controlling her body, Li Daochen was fully confident he could suppress her.

But there's no need to suppress it all at once, lest the flood dragon remnant soul leap over the wall like a cornered dog! I'll absorb more for a few days. By then, even if the flood dragon remnant soul enters my body, it won't be able to interfere with my cultivation! Li Daochen's eyes flickered as he became locked in combat with the flood dragon remnant soul.

Over the next few days, Li Daochen and the flood dragon remnant soul fought fiercely, neither able to do anything to the other.

On the fifth day.

Yang Yue, possessed by the flood dragon remnant soul, suddenly froze. Then her flesh fell away, leaving a skeleton that scattered across the bottom of the pool.

The flood dragon remnant soul appeared and charged into Li Daochen's body with a roar.

It had realized that even controlling Yang Yue, it couldn't do anything to Li Daochen.

And as time passed, Li Daochen was clearly growing stronger and stronger!

"Now that you're in, don't think you can leave so easily!" Li Daochen sneered, letting the flood dragon remnant soul burrow into his body.

By now, his Holy Dragon Bone was thirty percent repaired, and his cultivation had reached the Blood Refining Sixth Layer. He could easily continue cultivating while suppressing the flood dragon remnant soul inside him.

However.

Half a month of cultivation had shown Li Daochen that reforging the Holy Dragon Bone in the remaining month and a half would be very, very difficult!

I'm absorbing it many times faster than I did in my previous life, but reforging the Holy Dragon Bone within two months is still too rushed!

Li Daochen sensed the flood dragon remnant soul baring its fangs and claws inside him, and a fierce light gradually appeared in his eyes!

The only way for him to quickly reforge the Holy Dragon Bone now was to refine the flood dragon remnant soul!
