Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Reforging the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body

The mysterious azure lantern still hung suspended in the air. Its flame, like a wisp of green smoke, flickered in the void, dimming and brightening as if on the verge of annihilation, yet it stubbornly endured, eternal and unyielding!

Ye Wushuang stood while the shadowy figure—an entity that inspired both fear and reverence—knelt before him. If anyone else were to witness this, they would be utterly dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes.

The two remained like that, one standing and one kneeling, for a long, long time. Ye Wushuang didn’t tell the shadowy figure to rise. ’I don’t know what this phantom wants. It clearly had a chance to possess me, but it suddenly gave up.’

"I have traversed the starry sky, and I have finally found you... the bloodline of the Emperor!" The shadowy figure raised its head respectfully, its voice hoarse and choked with emotion. The two words "Emperor’s bloodline," when spoken from its mouth, were filled with such glory!

’The Emperor’s bloodline?’

Ye Wushuang’s brow furrowed, and he asked coldly, "What is the Emperor’s bloodline?"

"Your bloodline is the Emperor’s bloodline!" the shadowy figure said excitedly, like a loyal subject who had just met the emperor of his heart, delirious with joy!

"Before, I never understood the Emperor’s purpose in sending us here. Only at this moment do I finally understand. But it is too late, for my path has already crumbled, and I am powerless to help you."

Ye Wushuang didn’t understand the phantom’s words. His gaze was steady. ’You, help me?’

"Well, I’ll be damned! I always thought there was something strange about your bloodline, kid. So you’re the descendant of the Emperor!" inside the Chaos Space, the Dragon Cat exclaimed in shock.

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s Divine Sense probed into the Chaos Space. He stared at the Dragon Cat and asked, "You know what the Emperor’s bloodline is?"

"Hehe, Lord Cat can’t tell you that. You’ll find out later. As for the person outside, you don’t have to worry about him harming you. On this point, Lord Cat gives you his feline guarantee." The Dragon Cat’s mischievous eyes stared at Ye Wushuang, darting back and forth, its thoughts a mystery.

’Feline guarantee?’

Ye Wushuang didn’t have much faith in this fat cat’s "feline guarantee." However, he also knew that if the shadowy figure truly had malicious intentions, he would be powerless to resist. Since that was the case, there was no point in worrying about whether the phantom would harm him.

Withdrawing his Divine Sense, Ye Wushuang stared at the shadowy figure and said, "You can rise."

"Yes!" The shadowy figure only stood up after hearing his words. At this moment, it appeared somewhat dissipated, as if it could fade into nothingness at any second.

"Tell me everything!" Ye Wushuang couldn’t be bothered to ask questions one by one.

Hearing this, the shadowy figure fell silent for a moment before saying, "Before, I might have told you everything. But now that I understand the Emperor’s intentions, I cannot say. You must find everything out for yourself."

"Find it out for myself?" Ye Wushuang’s brow furrowed.

"Kid, stop thinking about that stuff for now. Have him help you with your Scattering and Rebuilding! This isn’t an Enlightenment Land, but with his help, you can still undergo Scattering and Rebuilding, and the chances of success will be much higher."

Seeing Ye Wushuang getting hung up on these questions, the Dragon Cat’s excited voice rang out again.

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang hesitated.

"Do you have other questions?" the shadowy figure asked.

"Yes!" Ye Wushuang nodded. Now that he understood his situation, he was no longer afraid. "I want to scatter my cultivation and rebuild!"

"I will help you," the shadowy figure replied without a second thought.

"You’re not going to ask why?" Ye Wushuang hadn’t expected the phantom to answer so directly.

"There is no need to ask. Your words are an Imperial Decree," the shadowy figure said.

As if remembering something, the shadowy figure hesitated for a moment and said, "However, before I help you, there is something I would like to... entrust to you."

"What is it?" Ye Wushuang asked.

"If you ever meet the Emperor, please tell him that even though all one hundred thousand of his soldiers bled out across the starry sky, we never dishonored the Imperial Decree!" the shadowy figure said, his voice heavy.

"Alright," Ye Wushuang replied. Based on this unwavering loyalty unto death, he had no reason to refuse. If he one day met this so-called Emperor, he would relay everything.

"Also, your enemies are terrifying. I will soon be gone, so you must grow stronger quickly to face them alone. These nine Eternal Celestial Lanterns were originally for you, but do not take them. Leaving them here will be of great help to you," the shadowy figure added.

Ye Wushuang looked at the azure lanterns in the sky, nodded, and committed all of this to memory.

"Let’s begin!"

Having entrusted him with everything, the shadowy figure soared into the air. Its eyes stared deep into the starry sky, and it suddenly smiled. "Brothers, after clinging to life for so long, our shared mission is complete. I didn’t abandon you. I’m coming!"

BOOM!

As it spoke, the shadowy figure’s body burst into azure flames. In the darkness, they looked just like the azure flames within the Eternal Celestial Lanterns—eternal and unyielding.

"You..." Ye Wushuang’s heart trembled. For some reason, he felt a pang of heartache. He opened his mouth to say something, but the words inexplicably caught in his throat.

"No regrets!" The shadowy figure spat out the two words with a resolute gaze. The azure flames burned even more intensely, transforming into streams of mysterious Dao Charm that enveloped Ye Wushuang’s body.

The Dragon Cat grew solemn and shouted, "Kid, hurry up and start! Don’t let his goodwill go to waste."

BOOM!

Following that, Ye Wushuang subconsciously sat cross-legged on the ground. Following the Dragon Cat’s instructions, he first reversed the flow in his meridians to scatter his Cultivation.

The sudden loss of his Cultivation made Ye Wushuang’s heart sink. He felt extremely uncomfortable; this feeling of being as weak as an ant was repulsive to him. However, one must destroy in order to create. For the sake of rebirth, he first had to face annihilation!

Immediately, Ye Wushuang took out the Dragon Blood from his True Dragon Space. A vast Dragon Power emanated from the Dragon Blood, constantly battering against the azure flames, but it was held firmly in check.

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Wushuang used the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique to begin devouring the drop of Dragon Blood. A torrential Dragon Power burst from his body, transforming into countless True Dragons that roamed through the Divine Temple. Ultimately, they coiled above his head, creating the spectacle of ten thousand dragons dancing together.

Instantly, the blood in Ye Wushuang’s body felt like it was on fire, boiling completely. The Dragon Spirit Qi hidden within his blood surged like a raging river, rolling and flowing through his veins.

Deep within his Dantian, a storm was brewing. The Chaos Dragon Tomb also surged with a strange energy, pouring it into the twenty-seven golden vortexes below. The golden vortexes expanded wildly, giving birth to even more golden vortexes!

Seeing this, Ye Wushuang was ecstatic. An increase in golden vortexes meant that the number of his Qi Vortexes was also increasing. He wondered just how many there would be.

However, he knew he had reached the most critical moment and could not afford to be distracted. He quickly withdrew his Divine Sense and summoned the Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron from his True Dragon Space to enter his Dantian.

This was the first step in Dragon Forging Foundation: creating the First Generation Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body!

Use the Dragon Foundation to smelt all of creation; use the Dragon Foundation to bear the heavens and the earth! 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Dragon Forging Foundation!"

Ye Wushuang let out a great shout and began to use the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique for the Refinement of the Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron. He didn’t feel the slightest bit of reluctance. Compared to the terrifying First Generation Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body, he was willing to sacrifice even the most precious Divine Object.

BOOM!

The Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron descended like a cosmic cauldron, suppressing the countless golden vortexes.

As if in response, the Dragon Blood throughout Ye Wushuang’s body boiled even more fiercely. One after another, crimson Divine Dragons rushed madly into his Dantian, plunging into the Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron like ten thousand dragons returning to their nest.

The Chaos Dragon Tomb also seemed to not want to interfere, transforming into a ray of light and entering Ye Wushuang’s Divine Court Space.

An unknown amount of time passed. The Golden Blood bathing the body of the Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron grew even more vibrant. The nine Eternal Celestial Lanterns in the Divine Temple also stirred, releasing nine small, azure flames that drilled into Ye Wushuang’s body.

Before Ye Wushuang could even react, they plunged into the Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron. A Golden Flame suddenly erupted, bursting forth with the power to incinerate the heavens and the earth!

"Success! The First Generation Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body is a success! Lord Cat has created a miracle! Hahaha!"

From within the Chaos Dragon Tomb, the Dragon Cat’s wildly excited and boastful laughter instantly rang out.
