Chapter 1265: Chapter 483: Human Body Modification! The Princess Strikes Back! (Part 2)
The time passed minute by minute, second by second.
Until an hour later, Chu Yanli’s body was fully restored to its normal state.
Her snow-white, delicate skin was like satin, exuding a faint rosy hue, and the wounds caused by the scales had been completely repaired by Vitality Essence, leaving no trace of transformation.
"Phew—"
Chen Mo let out a sigh of relief.
This consumption was far greater than he had imagined, and if not for his breakthrough to Second Grade, he might not have been able to endure it.
However, this was merely the initial transformation. For now, the injury was stabilized, bringing the body back from the brink of collapse. Several more "treatments" are needed to fully fuse with the Dragon Blood.
"If there’s no surprise, Chu Yanli should be the only Dragon Clan bloodline besides me in the world today... No, she should be considered a man-made dragon..."
Just as he was pondering to himself, a system prompt suddenly flashed before his eyes:
[Hidden Event: All Demons Worship in Unison, Progress Increased.]
[Current Progress: 25%.]
[First Stage Reward Unlocked.]
"Huh???"
Chen Mo couldn’t help but be stunned.
This was a hidden event triggered the first time he saw Zhu Wujiang, accompanied by a note that left a lasting impression on him:
[The Candle Illuminates the Nine Nether Night Like an Abyss, the Eternal Prison Boils in Yellow Springs.]
Beyond that, there were no other directions, and even the completion conditions were unclear.
So much time had passed that Chen Mo had long forgotten about it, never expecting the progress would mysteriously advance now?
"Could it be related to me helping Chu Yanli transform her body?"
Chen Mo reacted, carefully studying the text prompt.
All Demons Worship in Unison, from the literal meaning, implies all Demon Clan bowing together, and the only presence surpassing the demon crowd is the legendary Dragon Clan.
Moreover, the note mentioned Zhu Jiuyou and Zhu Wujiang, one being the True Dragon that once ruled Jiu Zhou, and the other the strongest contemporary Demon Lord; however, they had both fallen, dissipated into the world.
"So that’s to say..."
"I, as the bearer of True Dragon Blood, need to pass on the bloodline and restore the Dragon Clan’s glory?"
Given the current situation, this speculation seems close to the truth.
But what seems simple is actually an impossible task; the reason Chu Yanli could fuse with Dragon Blood was because she carried the Heavenly Decree Seal, with her body so modified by Dragon Qi over the years, that she already had a certain foundation.
For anyone else, the moment Dragon Blood enters the body, its terrifying power would probably make them explode!
"A unique existence like her is one in a million, and it’s merely a coincidence this time... I can’t just make one myself, can I?"
Chen Mo shook his head.
Anyway, the reward is free, and whether the final event can be completed, he doesn’t really care.
[Acquired Rare Item: Nine Nether Dragon Crystal.]
Space tore open with a rift, and a haunting glow spread, revealing a black crystal floating before him.
About half a finger joint in size, completely black, as deep as a black hole, even absorbing all surrounding light.
"What’s this...?"
Chen Mo scrutinized it, vaguely feeling a sense of kinship.
The Dragon Crystal circled around him several times before directly flying over, embedding itself in his forehead.
Not a trace of pain, only a sudden clear clarity within the Spirit Platform, perception becoming extraordinarily sharp, as if his third eye could distinctly discern all things in the world.
Subsequently, the crystal released a continuous stream of Dragon Qi, merging into Chen Mo’s body.
Unlike Purple Extreme Qian Yuan or Taiyin Geng Metal, this Dragon Qi was as thick as blood, emitting a strong Evil Qi!
[Proficiency of the Ancient Spirit Constitution increased, current progress: Burning Thunder (7900/10000).]
[Proficiency of the Ancient Spirit Constitution increased, current progress: Burning Thunder (8500/10000).]
[Proficiency of the Ancient Spirit Constitution increased, current progress: Burning Thunder (9000/10000).]
[Proficiency of the Ancient Spirit Constitution increased...]
[Current progress: Fahrenheit Star (0/10000).]
After absorbing the crimson Dragon Qi, the progress of the Ancient Spirit Constitution rapidly soared, breaking through the third realm in almost an instant, continuing to grow!
"Daoist Venerable once said that in this world, Dragon Qi is divided into three types, each corresponding to the territory, destiny, and Imperial Power."
"Among them, Purple Extreme Qian Yuan Dragon Qi adheres to the Earth Veins, safeguarding the stability of the territory; Taiyin Geng Metal Dragon Qi symbolizes the Imperial Power, representing the emperor’s authority over life and death."
"Apart from that, there’s another type of Dragon Qi, called Mystic Sky Decree, symbolizing the historical destiny of Cause and Effect reoccurrence, emerging only at the time of dynastic change."
"The corresponding one is..."
"Heaven’s mandate!"
Chen Mo’s heart pounded wildly.
He never expected that the Dragon Qi that hadn’t appeared for hundreds of years would suddenly appear now and flow incessantly into his body!
What exactly does this mean?
The Great Yuan Dynasty may be changing hands, the empire on the verge of collapse?
Before he could react, the scene before his eyes abruptly changed.
He found himself floating in the vast universe, surrounded by boundless darkness, facing a crimson planet, enveloped in a scarlet mist, with tongues of fire erupting from its cracked surface.
"Pluck the stars as kindling, refine the True Yang to illuminate the underworld..."
"Refining the star, is this the Fahrenheit Star?"
With a sudden realization, Chen Mo promptly sat cross-legged in the void, circulating his cultivation technique, with strands of three-colored Dragon Qi weaving around the star’s surface.
The star whirled with a roar, its surface peeling away and shrinking at a visible pace, while his own aura surged ever higher.
...
...
Chu Yanli awoke from a daze.
Raising her eyes, she found herself lying on a bed in the dim candlelight, completely bare, without even her underwear.
"Where am I?"
A trace of panic flickered in her eyes.
She only remembered being at the Observatory, having just watched Chen Mo walk away, then losing consciousness.
Could it be...
With her hands supporting herself upright, she saw the man sitting cross-legged beside her, and the heavy stone in her heart finally settled.
Thank goodness, she hadn’t been taken advantage of by someone else.
"That guy, always stubborn but soft-hearted, actually brought me home..." Chu Yanli’s rosy lips curled into a bright smile.
However, upon examining herself internally, she froze again.
No one knew better than her how severe her condition was, dire enough to be described as on the brink of death, and such injuries were nearly irreversible!
But now, the Dragon Qi had completely restored her internal organs and meridians, leaving only some weakness, fully recovering her to her peak condition!
No, she was even stronger than at her peak, with the Dragon Qi flowing through her body without the slightest obstruction!
It was as if she had been reborn!
Clearly, this was Chen Mo’s handiwork again!
"So when he said he could save me, it wasn’t just talk?"
Chu Yanli wasn’t afraid of death. From the day she picked up the Heavenly Decree Seal, she knew what kind of fate awaited her.
What she feared was unfinished business after her death.
So last night at the Observatory, she hurriedly told Chen Mo all the causes and effects, sensing she wouldn’t hold on much longer, only for Chen Mo to give her new life!
Thump!
Thump!
Looking at that handsome face, her heart raced fiercely, an unprecedented feeling spreading through her——
Unlike past admiration, this was a fatal attraction, as if the man before her were a god seated atop the nine heavens, making her want to submit, to worship, to offer everything she had!
"How strange..."
Chu Yanli’s cheeks blazed like fire, her blood nearly boiling.
Unable to control herself, she crawled toward Chen Mo, pressing him down onto the bed.
Just then, sensing the unusual, Chen Mo opened his eyes, frowning at her flushed face, "What are you doing?"
Chu Yanli, breathing heavily, whispered, "What... what did you do to me?"
Chen Mo explained, "Your body was on the verge of collapse, on the brink of death. To let you coexist with the Dragon Qi, I had no choice but to use True Dragon Blood for transformation..."
Chu Yanli blinked, asking, "Does that mean I’m now half Dragon Clan?"
Chen Mo nodded, "Something like that, but at least your life is saved, better than dying and fading away, right?"
Chu Yanli’s cheeks reddened further, "Have you ever heard that dragons are inherently lustful?"
Chen Mo: ?
Chu Yanli moved closer, cupping his face, licking his neck in fascination, murmuring, "Since you did this to me, take responsibility to the very end~"
Chen Mo: ???
