Episode 43: Refine the Dragon's Inner Elixir!

  "Boom!"

  A deafening roar burst out, shaking the heavens and earth. Countless ferocious zombies, driven by Mo Shenfeng's power, frantically collided with the Five Elements Great Array. Even though Dan Chenzi was using his full strength to activate the positive and negative Five Elements Great Arrays, he felt a massive shockwave that made him stumble, almost unable to stand upright, and his heart cried out in alarm.

  The countless resurrected zombies were already fierce enough, and with the help of Mo Shenfeng's push, it was even more terrifying. In an instant, it made the stones fly and the sand fly, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and it was extremely severe, unstoppable.

  Mystical wind stepped on the half-empty space, his figure flickering, transformed into countless human shadows, rushing towards the five beams of light bursting from the Five Elements Great Array. Each shadow seemed to contain a powerful energy fluctuation, vast and majestic, the five beams of light suddenly trembled violently.

  Danchenzi's back had a pair of wind and thunder wings, emitting a faint blue light, constantly stirring. His body was three feet off the ground, suspended in mid-air. His ten fingers were constantly interlocking, changing the law seals. A series of light beams like silk threads flowed and wrapped around, pouring into the five thick beams of light around him. In an instant, the white, cyan, black, red, and yellow lights burst forth!

  In the blink of an eye, the Five Elements Great Array transformed into a sturdy and unshakeable entity like Mount Tai. Although Mo Shenfeng's attack was ferocious, this Five Elements Great Array was rooted in Xiao Yunfei's Five Elements Puppet, born from the harmony of heaven and earth, and was actually a creation that rivaled the heavens. Wave after wave of fierce collisions, the roar of mighty forces, repeatedly swept back and forth like an avalanche, as five-colored light beams danced in the air, alternating and changing, slowly rotating. Dan Chenzi manipulated the Five Elements, and incredibly, he managed to withstand this nearly frantic attack.

  However, although the demonic wind was blocked, those heavy and ferocious zombies continued to crazily crash into the Five Elements Great Array. The five beams of light from the array rotated slowly like a millstone, slowly strangling the zombies that crashed into it, grinding them into fragments. But the number of zombies was simply too great, and they could not be killed off completely.

  Liu Donglai's white water puppet hung in mid-air, watching Mo Shenfeng repeatedly charge at the Five Elements Array to no avail. He couldn't help but burst into a loud laughter, his eerie voice echoing through the night sky, transmitting from all directions: "Mo Shenfeng, are you going to make it? If not, I'll have to take action myself."

  "Hmph!" Mo Shenfeng waved his hand, and a wild gust of wind burst forth, stirring up an endless torrent of energy that churned and surged like a tidal wave. In contrast, his body shot backward, disappearing into the layered clouds and mist. "You think you have what it takes? Try to break through this Five Elements Grand Array, which cycles endlessly - even a Golden Immortal might not be able to breach it in a short time."

  Liu Donglai's eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing towards Xiao Yunfei as he sneered, "Solo Hunter 0066, tell me your name, or you won't have the chance to say it after you're dead."

  "You can rest assured, no matter how incompetent I, Xiao Yunfei, may be, I won't die at the hands of you two."

  Xiao Yunfei let out a cold hum, and the freely flowing wind and clouds around him surged, but seeing that his opponent's strength was deep and not ordinary, he couldn't help but furrow his brow. Controlling the Jiuyou Yinshi Great Array with the mysterious wind technique was already very difficult to deal with; if Liu Dong's White Water Puppet were to intervene as well, the outcome would become extremely unpredictable.

  They were only two people, Dan Chenzi needed to control the Five Elements Array, and deal with Mo Shenfeng. The remaining Liu Donglai and those countless resurrected ferocious zombies had to be resisted by Xiao Yunfei alone. Although Xiao Yunfei was very powerful, after going through several arrays, he was ultimately greatly exhausted, and couldn't help but feel a bit breathless.

  Furrowing his brow in thought for a moment, Xiao Yunfei seemed to have thought of something, gritted his teeth suddenly, turned around and said to Dan Chenzi in a low voice: "Brother Dan Chenzi."

  Upon hearing this, Dan Chenzi couldn't help but tremble slightly. This was the first time since they had met that Xiao Yunfei spoke to him in such an unusual tone, making him feel a sense of unease from the bottom of his heart. Especially when he saw Xiao Yunfei's eyes, which seemed to be filled with a longing and anxious expression.

  At this moment, Dan Chenzi took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "What's going on?"

  Xiao Yunfei slowly stepped forward, his face solemn, and said: "At present, the enemy is strong and we are weak. I must improve my skills, so I'll trouble you to hold up the Five Elements Array alone for now."

  "Don't worry, I absolutely won't let them break through the Five Elements Great Array until you successfully break through." Dan Chenzi responded in a low voice, as if he was a straightforward person who had already promised Xiao Yunfei that he would maintain the Five Elements Great Array until death.

  Xiao Yunfei immediately turned around, and with a wave of his hand, the air rippled, and on his palm appeared a crystal orb the size of a fist. Inside it, one could vaguely see a dragon's body writhing about, which was the dragon's inner elixir that he had snatched from the tripod lake in Yan Mountain.

  Although the cultivation of the Body Refining Technique had already broken through to the Heavenly Immortal level, Xiao Yunfei's Yuan Shen cultivation remained at the peak of the Earthly Immortal. Despite having a deep understanding of the Six Paths of Heaven and Earth and possessing powerful techniques, without a strong enough Yuan Shen as a foundation, it was ultimately limited. Therefore, Xiao Yunfei was eager to break through his current Yuan Shen realm. He had planned to wait until he sent Guan Yue's residual soul to Mount Emei before finding a quiet place to refine the Dragon Turtle's inner elixir and break through to the Heavenly Immortal realm, but it seemed that he couldn't wait any longer.

  Within the boundless and endless formation space, fierce winds howled, dark clouds surged and churned, carrying infinite and immense energy, vast and extraordinary. Mo Shenfeng and Liu Donglai were nowhere to be seen, but all of this was clearly their masterpiece. Countless ferocious zombies, like a stormy sea wave, continuously crashed into the Five Elements Great Formation, booming and exploding non-stop. Dan Chenzi struggled to maintain the formation's operation, barely holding on!

  Time waits for no one, the situation is critical, Dan Chenzi alone can't hold on, nobody knows how long he can hold on, Xiao Yunfei doesn't dare to hesitate, immediately withdraws himself, calms his mind and concentrates, letting himself quickly enter a state of nothingness, his heart clear and still, without any distracting thoughts. Next, Xiao Yunfei's mouth opens and closes continuously, however, no sound comes out of his mouth, looking quite strange.

  At this critical moment, Xiao Yunfei was not doing useless work. In fact, he was reciting a mantra to refine the inner elixir of the Jiaolong, in order to stimulate its spiritual power to the extreme limit, so as to have a greater chance of helping him successfully break through and reach the realm of Tianxian.

  The difference between a terrestrial immortal and a celestial immortal is just one word, but the gap in between is like heaven and earth, almost impossible to add. If Xiao Yunfei's spiritual cultivation can take another step forward and merge with his physical cultivation, he can further comprehend the six paths of heaven and earth and push the power of the emotionless knife to a whole new height!

  As the incantation reached its climax, Xiao Yunfei scratched his finger with his fingernail, and a large amount of blood was drawn out. Then, his hands moved rapidly in a series of gestures, and rays of light merged into the blood. After a moment, the blood suddenly burst open, transforming into a sea of crimson characters that floated in mid-air like pages of a book. Emitting a faint bloody glow, they danced in the air, mysterious and eerie, shocking the soul!

  These blood-colored characters, if looked at carefully, would reveal that they are all small symbols representing a specific power. Xiao Yunfei's hands changed, and the blood-colored characters in the sky were immediately pulled by an invisible force, like a torrent rushing forward, completely wrapping around the dragon's inner elixir, suspended in mid-air.

  In an instant, the inner elixir of the Jiaolong was enveloped by a formless and intangible pressure. The fist-sized inner elixir twisted and transformed into a cyan-black dragon about one zhang long, winding and coiling around itself. As it wrapped around the endless blood-colored text, countless blood-colored stripes gradually appeared on its massive body!

  Xiao Yunfei let out a cold laugh, his hands moving in rapid succession as a clear and warm radiance burst forth, transforming into countless tangible rays of light that extended in all directions before suddenly reversing direction and wrapping tightly around the dragon, brilliant lights overflowing and flickering incessantly.

  Refining a dragon's inner elixir comparable to that of a heavenly being was no easy task, but in order to speed up the process, Xiao Yunfei resorted to using the Blood Refining Technique. The blood curse and spiritual curse combined, supplemented by Xiao Yunfei's endless supply of magical power, instantly annihilated the dragon's primordial spirit. The several-meter-long dark green dragon's head and tail were now connected, its body twisted together, once again transformed into a fist-sized green orb.

  The inner elixir of the dragon is spinning rapidly, shining brightly and flashing continuously, just like the sun illuminating all directions. The power of its light is no longer a single beam, but a continuous sheet that covers the sky and presses down, crushing everything in its path. In an instant, a vast energy surges forth, waves spreading out in all directions.

  Xiao Yunfei let out a cold hum, and his boundless spiritual power surged forth in waves, transforming into dazzling divine lights of every color, which converged at his fingertips. The colors shifted, turning into blood-red runes that leapt about in mid-air, gathering together to form a long river that flowed ceaselessly, pouring into the dragon's inner elixir!
