Chapter 1187: Chapter 97: Transformation of the Divine Artifact
This immense sacred energy was actually the result of the fusion of the energies of the Dragon’s Blood and the Phoenix’s Blood. The church’s records regarding these two Divine Artifacts were incomplete, and didn’t mention anything about the fusion abilities of the two artifacts. To serve as the first Pope, how could the Savior God Feather and his wife’s Protective Relic, the Dragon’s Blood and Phoenix’s Blood, possess merely ordinary powers? Ah Dai had felt earlier that Xuan Yue’s energy was somewhat faltering. At the critical moment, his spiritual power increased unprecedentedly, filled with goodwill and a self-sacrificial disposition that deeply aligned with the Dragon’s Blood’s way of operation, completely triggering the original power of the Dragon’s Blood. It was precisely this powerful eruption of original force that triggered the transformation of the Phoenix’s Blood. After being separated for a thousand years, the two artifacts met again, unleashing the energy that had accumulated over the millennia, instantly merging. The original powers of the dragon and the phoenix met once again, exciting the artifacts, which had developed a subconscious presence, and the powerful Divine Power instantly filled their masters’ bodies. The intertwining dragon and phoenix invoked the force between heaven and earth, continuously impacting Ah Dai and Xuan Yue, elevating their spiritual power to unprecedented levels.
Under the wrapping of golden light, the blue-golden Dragon and the red-golden Phoenix gradually became clear, the immense energy they had stored over a millennium constantly intertwining in the air. The Dragon’s Blood and the Phoenix’s Blood in their true forms received an unprecedented enhancement while absorbing energy, and under the influence of the force between heaven and earth, they completely transformed their own substance, gradually ascending from Intermediate artifacts to Advanced Artifacts. Thankfully, this sacred energy, although potent, was not like the treacherous Evil Power of the Sword of Hades that could indifferently harm people. The powerful energy was contained within a very small area, continuously being absorbed and transformed by the two artifacts.
Ah Dai and Xuan Yue gradually recovered from the tremendous energy. When they noticed their surroundings, they were taken aback. The Dragon’s Blood and Phoenix’s Blood had already fused their energies with each other and gradually returned to their original forms. On the basis of their original forms, a golden symbol had appeared at their centers.
The change in the artifacts immensely benefited their masters, Ah Dai and Xuan Yue, especially Ah Dai. Upon regaining consciousness, he distinctly felt changes in his body; the Silver body in his Dantian had transformed into a Golden Body, and the surging sacred energy around his body was continuously being absorbed by the new Golden Body, giving him an unprecedented sense of strength and filling him with confidence. The second Golden Body in his chest had, at that instant, grown from three inches to nearly four inches, containing even more tremendous energy. This uncontrollable surge of energy, with its inherently high intensity, autonomously absorbed a considerable amount of sacred energy from the air.
Ah Dai was extraordinarily excited, knowing he had finally broken through the eighth bottleneck of the Cycle of Life and achieved the highest ninth level. The enhancement of the energies of the two Golden Bodies greatly increased the power of his Cycle of Life True Qi. The ninth level Cycle of Life True Qi differed entirely from the eighth, achieving this highest level, Ah Dai truly experienced the profound essence of embracing all streams and the eternal cycle of life. The immense energy, following his thoughts, continuously moved within him, the effortless and comfortable feeling intoxicating Ah Dai—it was such a wonderful sensation! As the Cycle of Life reached its highest level, his spiritual power was thoroughly purified by the pure elemental forces, successfully breaking through to the Magus Realm, providing him with a deeper understanding of magic.
Xuan Yue’s Phoenix’s Blood was triggered by the energy of the Dragon’s Blood, taking a passive role. Although she did not benefit as much as Ah Dai, the pure force between heaven and earth deeply integrated with the principles of Holy Magic she practiced, causing her spiritual power to increase greatly and unprecedentedly. Xuan Yue seemed to feel as if she had undergone another divine baptism; if the first divine baptism changed her physique and the purity of her sacred energy, then this second baptism completely elevated her spiritual realm. She clearly sensed her spiritual power field expanding to ten times its previous size, with more and more pure elemental forces flooding in, causing her Magic Ability to leap qualitatively—an instant enlightenment that was so wonderful. Xuan Yue was almost certain she had reached the realm of the Holy Light Magus, the most basic level for a Red Robe Priest.
Ah Dai and Xuan Yue both took a deep breath. Xuan Yue turned around to glance at Ah Dai, finding her excitement hard to express in words. Both of them felt an interconnected sensation as if through Ah Dai’s arm, the energies within them seemed to have gained the ability to communicate, constantly circulating and transforming together like one entity. Their gaze landed on the wooden bed in front of them. Despite the tremendous release of energy earlier, a protective layer of golden energy had formed around the wooden bed due to the subconscious actions of Ah Dai and Xuan Yue, preventing Wo Xin’s mother from being harmed.
Xuan Yue took another deep breath, raising the Angel Wand in her hand once more, this time filled with confidence. The golden radiance, which had just receded into a ten-square-meter area, expanded again. The Divine Healing Technique, which was not previously triggered due to insufficient energy and the Sky God’s power, was initiated once more. Following Xuan Yue’s soft command, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly split open, and a dazzling golden beam of light descended from the sky. Xuan Yue slightly tilted her head, with the gold light striking right on her brow. In an instant, Xuan Yue’s entire body was enveloped in thick sacred energy, brimming with a surging sacred aura. She closed her eyes, feeling the earth-shattering energy continuously circulating within her. With a light wave of the Angel Wand in her hand, a flash of light occurred, and Wo Xin’s mother was immediately enveloped by Divine Power.
