Mysterious Jade Pendant

Chapter 38: The Mysterious Jade Pendant

Majestic, unyielding, arrogant! This was the feeling in the hearts of everyone in Skyfall City.

The dragon's roar was fleeting, so fast that everyone couldn't react at all, unable to find its source. They only vaguely heard the dragon's roar echoing above the City Lord's mansion.

At this moment, the situation inside Chen Yun's body was truly dire. The dissipation of the Tai Chi phantom caused the Battle Qi and Internal Qi within him to lose control, becoming exceptionally violent!

The two energies, like wild horses that had broken free of their reins, rampaged wildly within Chen Yun's body. Even with Chen Yun's robust physique, he couldn't withstand it.

Both his meridians and internal organs were on the verge of collapse under these two berserk energies. Countless imperceptible cracks slowly spread, and a violent tearing sensation fiercely assaulted Chen Yun's senses, causing his entire body to convulse uncontrollably, his face contorted in agony.

How Chen Yun wished he could just pass out right now! It was simply too painful!

The berserk energy madly tore at his internal organs and tissues, like sharp blades slicing through them.

Chen Yun broke out in a cold sweat, his soul trembling. He was like a thin piece of glass, shaking incessantly, as if it would shatter the next moment.

Am I going to die? Chen Yun's soul sighed unconsciously.

I just came out! How... am I going to die? I'm so unwilling! Ah...

Chen Yun's soul trembled violently as if in a final burst of energy, and a strong sense of unwillingness emanated from him.

But soon after, his soul quieted down, passively enduring the impact within his body, like a small boat adrift on the sea, liable to be capsized by the waves at any moment.

I... feel... so... weak!

A low murmur drifted across the sea of Chen Yun's soul.

Gradually, Chen Yun's consciousness sank into darkness. Endless dark energy, like the black water of the Styx, eroded this wavering soul that emitted a faint golden light.

The dark energy began to slowly invade the pale golden soul. The pale golden soul's area grew smaller and smaller. In less than a moment, only a golden dot remained in the very center, like a tiny star in the vast universe amidst the endless darkness.

Gradually, this golden point of light grew dimmer and dimmer...

Just as this golden point of light was about to be completely extinguished...

A low sigh suddenly echoed in the boundless darkness.

The sigh revealed endless vicissitudes. Though low, it seemed to reach every corner of the dark world, causing the endless dark energy to fluctuate inexplicably.

If anyone were in this room at this moment, they would be astonished to witness this miraculous scene.

Chen Yun actually floated up from the bed, enveloped entirely by a pale red spherical light.

A thumb-sized Jade Pendant floated abruptly before Chen Yun's forehead.

The Jade Pendant was crystal clear, pale green on the surface, with faint lines resembling electric currents flowing across it. It shone with divine light, as if naturally formed.

From the front of the Jade Pendant, a wisp of pale red mist could be seen within, hazy and indistinct, making it impossible to see clearly.

At this moment, this pale red mist surged rapidly within, like clouds during a thunderstorm, churning incessantly, as if it wanted to break free from the jade.

Gradually, the side of the Jade Pendant facing Chen Yun's forehead was increasingly occupied by the pale red mist...

Suddenly, a blood-red light, starting from the center of the Jade Pendant, radiated outwards in a funnel shape.

Immediately, a small, red, funnel-shaped mist covered the center of Chen Yun's forehead.

The blood-red light entered from the center of his forehead. Gradually, Chen Yun's entire body surface began to flush red, becoming redder and redder, with a faint tendency to burst out of his body.

"Bang!" A faint sound rang out.

Chen Yun's clothes and pants instantly disintegrated into fragments, revealing his flushed, naked body.

His physique was a perfect golden ratio, with well-proportioned, streamlined muscles. At this moment, Chen Yun's muscles pulsed rhythmically, as if something was stirring within.

Suddenly, a mysterious aura erupted from Chen Yun's body, an aura that felt ancient and long.

On Chen Yun's forehead, a dazzling golden light pierced through the blood-red light enveloping it. A complex symbol, shining with intense golden light, slowly emerged from the mysterious Jade Pendant.

At this moment, if one observed carefully, they would notice that the center of Chen Yun's forehead also bore an identical symbol. However, the golden light emanating from the symbol on Chen Yun's forehead was much dimmer than that of the radiant golden symbol emerging from the Jade Pendant; the faint golden light was almost invisible.

The symbol emerging from the mysterious Jade Pendant abruptly pressed towards the identical symbol on the center of Chen Yun's forehead.

Instantly, "bang," a sound barely audible.

The two imprints completely merged. Immediately, brilliant golden light flashed from every line of the fused symbol.

The complex symbol seemed like a form of inherited mark, its intricate veins winding and twisting, yet appearing natural, flowing with a mysterious aura.

At this moment, the Battle Qi and Internal Qi within Chen Yun's body circulated frantically, but they remained distinct, no longer merging as they had that day.

Streams of small, bloody energy emerged from his flesh and blood, eventually converging in his lower abdomen, forming an energy sphere that rotated continuously.

At this moment, the mysterious symbol suddenly retracted its golden light. A pillar of golden-yellow energy, as if cast from pure gold, shot out from the mysterious symbol, piercing the center of his forehead where the mysterious imprint resided, heading directly towards the blood-red energy mass in Chen Yun's lower abdomen.

Under the illumination of this golden light pillar, the blood-red energy mass trembled incessantly.

The bloody energy churned, and the energy sphere gradually shrank. Strands of scarlet energy were squeezed out, then annihilated into nothingness by the dense golden light.

Gradually, the blood-red color on the energy sphere became purer, and faint golden dots began to flicker on it.

The golden-yellow energy pillar also appeared somewhat dim and slowly retracted. It then dispersed throughout Chen Yun's entire body. Along its path, the meridians and organ tissues damaged by the Battle Qi and Internal Qi rapidly healed, imbued with specks of golden light.

The Battle Qi and Internal Qi within Chen Yun also flowed obediently under the shroud of golden light.

At this moment, Chen Yun's entire body was a dazzling spectacle, magnificent to behold!

Battle Qi and Internal Qi became finer and finer under the golden light. Strands of black and gray impurities were refined by the golden light and immediately extinguished.

At this moment, the Battle Qi flowing through the meridians and the Internal Qi roaming the muscles had become increasingly pure in color. The originally colorless Battle Qi had taken on a slightly dark hue, while the Internal Qi faintly emitted wisps of light.

Although this energy backlash had nearly cost Chen Yun his life, fortunately, thanks to the mysterious Jade Pendant, everything had turned from danger to safety. Furthermore, Chen Yun had benefited greatly, and this transformation held significant importance for his future development.

Suddenly, a high-pitched dragon's roar echoed. The mass of energy in Chen Yun's lower abdomen exploded with a "boom," sending countless energy fragments scattering into the flesh and blood within his body.

A small energy dragon, blood-red all over but with flecks of golden light on its body, emerged from the shattered energy mass. After a clear cry, it coiled in place and quieted down.

In an unknown, endless dark space, a pair of enormous golden-yellow eyes suddenly appeared in the boundless darkness.

The massive golden eyes were as large as washbasins, and occasionally, a beam of cyan light would shoot out from them, appearing incredibly imposing.

"Sigh!" A low sigh suddenly reverberated through the endless darkness, filled with helplessness. The pair of enormous golden eyes also revealed a look of ancient weariness.

"Ten thousand years of erosion have worn me down. I feel myself growing weaker and weaker. Must I truly fade away quietly here?"

The tone was calm, as if asking himself, or perhaps asking the heavens.

"En?"

After a long while, the voice let out a sound of surprise.

"This is... this aura... it gives me a sense of ancient familiarity. This is... my..."

"Roar!"

A ancient and vast roar erupted, causing the entire endless dark space to tremble.

"Roar!"

Like the roar of a peerless Fierce Beast, a ferocious aura surged forth like the Yellow River in flood. An immense pressure exploded outward.

Instantly, waves of golden light pierced the endless darkness like an arrow rain. However, they seemed to be enveloped by something, and the golden arrow rain stretched for hundreds of feet, becoming the only spectacular sight in this space.

The golden light grew stronger and stronger, and the vast, sky-suppressing energy fluctuations intensified. The space itself seemed unable to bear it, emitting sounds like shattering glass.

But just then, a clattering sound, like colliding chains, rang out.

Streams of dark light shot out, sweeping towards the golden light that was emitting increasingly intense energy fluctuations. For a moment, the monstrous waves generated by the collision of golden and dark energies were like the entire ocean overturning, their momentum swallowing the sky.

However, this scene did not last long. All the golden light and dark light were eroded away.

"Roar---"

A roar of unwillingness was swallowed by the endless darkness. The entire space returned to calm. The boundless darkness was like a vast firmament, instilling an unending sense of dread.

"Hmph!" After a long time, a cold snort came from above the void. Then, there was no further sound, and everything returned to peace.

In Chen Yun's room.

The light around the Jade Pendant flickered intensely before suddenly retracting all its radiance. Finally, it transformed into a stream of pale cyan light that shot directly into Chen Yun's body. It then directly hung around the neck of the small blood-red dragon that was quietly meditating within Chen Yun's lower abdomen.

The entire room fell silent, leaving only the completely naked Chen Yun lying on the bed, his bronze skin emitting a captivating glow...

(Chen Yun suddenly transformed, flicked his dragon tail, cupped his fists, and said: "Wishing all my esteemed readers a Happy New Year! Also, please smash those votes and red flowers in your hands fiercely onto me! My defense is super strong, I'm not afraid of being knocked down by them! Hehe!")
