Golden Crow Divine Body

"Xue'er, I'm about to take the pill. No matter what happens, don't worry."

With that, Su Chen tossed the Icefire Essence-Stabilizing Pill into his mouth.

The scorching and icy medicinal energies surged through his body like crashing waves.

Su Chen removed his Storage Soul Tool, took off his shirt, and jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Even though the two Immortal Herbs had been refined into a pill, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would catalyze them and allow him to absorb their medicinal power more effectively.

Dugu Bo's eyelids twitched. He knew the power of the Ice Fire Spring Well: the Yang spring could burn someone until not even bones remained, while the cold spring could freeze someone into an ice sculpture.

He secretly prayed that Su Chen's absorption of the pill would go smoothly.

After all, he had been the one to bring Su Chen here. If anything happened to Su Chen, Qian Renxue definitely would not spare him.

Qian Renxue looked worried, but out of trust in Su Chen, she patiently waited in the valley.

Beneath the spring well!

Su Chen's body was wrapped in red and white light as the icy and fiery medicinal power swept through his internal organs and limbs.

His already formidable body was being strengthened once again.

Su Chen switched martial souls and summoned the Great Sun Golden Crow, using the Sun Immortal Scripture to hasten the absorption of the icy and fiery medicinal power and temper his body.

"Screech—"

A clear, resounding cry rang out from within his body.

Inside Su Chen's body, the Great Sun Golden Crow seemed to melt into a golden-red liquid, imprinting itself into his muscles, bones, organs, and flesh.

It felt as though his body were being remolded. The intense tearing pain made even Su Chen bare his teeth in agony.

Golden-red divine runes emerged across the fair, smooth skin of Su Chen's back. The runes were shaped like feathers, linked together and layered upon one another.

At first, their form was indistinct. But once the feather-shaped golden-red divine runes had fully connected, they formed a Great Sun Golden Crow soaring with wings spread wide.

There were a total of 108,000 golden-red divine runes, and the Great Sun Golden Crow possessed 108,000 feather-shaped divine runes.

At this moment, ninety-nine percent of those 108,000 feather-shaped divine runes were dim, while less than one percent had lit up.

Yet the mere thousand or so illuminated Golden Crow Divine Runes had already strengthened Su Chen's body to a terrifying degree.

As he was now, Su Chen could fight a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with his bare body without any problem.

One could imagine just how powerful Su Chen's body would become once all 108,000 Golden Crow Divine Runes were illuminated.

In the past, Su Chen had always tempered his body with Golden Crow True Flame. Now, with the Icefire Essence-Stabilizing Pill, he had finally reached the threshold.

He had derived this body-tempering method himself after studying the Sun Immortal Scripture. For now, he called it the Golden Crow Divine Body.

That was because, once cultivated to the end, this body-tempering method could truly allow one to become a god through the flesh.

With a splash and the sound of breaking water, Su Chen shot out of the Ice Fire Spring Well.

He did not hesitate to use Golden Crow Chasing the Sun. Moving at a speed comparable to teleportation, he flew to where he had left his clothes and quickly put them on.

There were people watching outside. He could not exactly appear before them naked.

"Xiao Chen, are you all right?"

Seeing Su Chen emerge, Qian Renxue hurried forward, shocked, delighted, and worried all at once.

Su Chen smiled brilliantly. With his current physical condition, absorbing a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would absolutely not be a problem.

"I'm fine. My body has never been this strong!"

"The Immortal Herb I used to refine the pill was called Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot. Taking them together already has a body-tempering effect, but refining them into pills made the effect astonishing."

"Even without using my martial soul, I'm confident I can fight a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

Qian Renxue was truly stunned upon hearing that.

Fighting a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with one's bare body—perhaps even ordinary Titled Douluo could not do that.

"Xiao Chen, is that true?"

"Can the plants here really have such miraculous effects?"

Since she was here, Su Chen naturally could not forget Qian Renxue. When she learned that Dugu Bo had taken him away, she had rushed over immediately.

"Xue'er, give me some time. I'll refine a pill for you too, one that will greatly benefit your cultivation."

Qian Renxue looked at Su Chen's earnest expression. Her smile blossomed like a flower, and she felt both touched and happy.

"I believe you."

Su Chen gathered herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Using the Immortal Herb Blazing Sun Flower as the main ingredient and combining it with various herbs of light and fire attributes, he refined a Blazing Sun Pill.

It suited Qian Renxue. It could make her light attribute purer and raise her Soul Power by at least six or seven levels, allowing her to break through the level-sixty Soul Power bottleneck in one go.

As someone born with level-twenty Soul Power, Qian Renxue was already nineteen yet only had level-fifty-four Soul Power. That truly did not do justice to her talent.

This Blazing Sun Pill would simply make up for the Soul Power cultivation she had neglected over the past decade while fighting for power.

Since they were all present, Su Chen also refined a pill each for She Long and Ci Xue, enough to raise their Soul Power by at least one level.

At their level, raising Soul Power by even one level was extraordinarily difficult.

Yet now, a single pill could raise their Soul Power by one level.

She Long and Ci Xue's favorable impression of Su Chen rose sharply.

And there was Dugu Bo as well!

After all, this was his herb garden. He had occupied it first, though Dugu Bo did not know the value of what he possessed and could not even recognize the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum of his old rival, Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Dugu Bo was also plagued by Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison, so Su Chen could only help him detoxify first.

"Poison Douluo, my detoxification method involves sending my Golden Crow True Flame into your body. The Golden Crow True Flame is supremely rigid and Yang in nature, and it can suppress your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison."

"But you surely know the danger involved. If you trust me completely, then let me send the Golden Crow True Flame into your body."

"If you don't trust me, you're a Titled Douluo while I'm a Soul Elder. Once you try to resist with your Soul Power, there'll be nothing I can do."

Dugu Bo's expression shifted uncertainly. If he allowed Su Chen to send flames into his body, then should Su Chen harbor ill intent, he could severely injure him in an instant.

"Grandpa!"

Dugu Yan called out anxiously.

Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter, then at Su Chen.

Dugu Bo made his decision. Given the relationship between his granddaughter and Su Chen, Su Chen would not go so far as to take his life.

"Come, then. I'll entrust this old life of mine to you."

Dugu Bo sat down cross-legged. Su Chen walked behind him, pressed both hands against his back, and sent his Soul Power into Dugu Bo's body.

Dugu Bo firmly suppressed his Titled Douluo Soul Power and, as expected, did not resist.

He allowed Su Chen's Soul Power to transform into Golden Crow True Flame within his body, sweeping through his organs, muscles, bones, and flesh before instantly spreading like a wildfire.

The supremely rigid and Yang Golden Crow True Flame did indeed suppress the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison.

Only after persisting until his Soul Power was exhausted did Su Chen manage to strip away one-tenth of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison within Dugu Bo's body.

Dugu Bo was, after all, a Titled Douluo. Over the decades, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison had long since seeped into his marrow.

Completely removing it would not be an easy task.

Although Su Chen's Golden Crow True Flame was formidable, he was still only a Soul Elder at present.

"Poison Douluo, after nine more treatments like this, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison in your body will be completely neutralized."

Dugu Bo was drenched in sweat. Upon hearing this, his body could not help but tremble. The process of having the Golden Crow True Flame strip away the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison was no less agonizing than scraping poison from the bone, with pain that pierced the heart.

He gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice:

"Fine. Then I'll trouble you. As for you and my granddaughter, this old man agrees."
