Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Attribute Points Allocation

Chapter 955: Chapter 471: Smelting Divine Bone

“Am I still alive?”

Lu Yun whispered. He clearly remembered that when the divine shadow descended with a palm strike, his physical body shattered, and even the holy body’s strength could not sustain him.

The life force within the Cave Heavens had also been drawn out due to the sacrificial power.

Such conditions were definitely fatal.

Yet now, not only had Lu Yun survived, but the Cave Heavens had stabilized and the holy body’s disintegration had ceased.

“That’s right, in the moment of unconsciousness, I seemed to have seen my master.”

At this thought, Lu Yun immediately sensed the area between his eyebrows, where the Primordial Essence Blood originally stored had already disappeared.

“So that’s how it is.”

Lu Yun instantly understood the cause and effect.

This drop of Primordial Essence Blood was given to Lu Yun by Yuan Guang Immortal during the Master Acceptance Ceremony, containing nearly thirty percent of Yuan Guang Immortal’s strength.

At that time, Yuan Guang Immortal had instructed that to better train and grow, this drop of Primordial Essence Blood could not be triggered actively; it would only be passively triggered in a life-threatening crisis.

Faced with Han Zhong’s sacrificial summoning of the divine shadow, Lu Yun had no capacity to resist, and the Primordial Essence Blood was passively triggered.

Lu Yun lay on the ground with a pale face and blood at the corners of his mouth, finding it hard to imagine that the competition for a Five-colored Cloud Lotus could lead to such severe consequences.

Without the Master’s gifted Primordial Essence Blood, despite all his methods and miraculous encounters, he would have perished here.

It wasn’t that Lu Yun was at fault, but that he had underestimated the cards of a peerless Heavenly Pride like Han Zhong.

Sacrificing one’s own life force and Cave Heavens’ Divine Ability, along with the sacrificial summoning of a divine shadow, each was unheard of and unseen.

Just like Lu Yun himself, despite his great fortune, he had never mastered such terrifying divine abilities.

Of course, this sort of exchanging one’s life for power, faced with such a decision, even Lu Yun would hesitate whether or not to learn it.

In Lu Yun’s view, divine abilities and methods were primarily for combating enemies to protect one’s own life, and reckless close combat went against his principles; he treasured his life dearly.

After the disintegration of his holy body halted, life force continued to emerge from his Imperishable Golden Bones and Undying Golden Pits, flowing through his meridians and blood, repairing his physical body, healing fissures, and mending wounds like glass patterns.

This time, the physical injury was too severe. Even though he had already refined a part of the Undying Golden Pits’ holy body’s self-healing power, it still took half a month to barely restore Lu Yun’s mobility.

Lu Yun stood up, but just a few steps later, his newly healed wounds burst open, and blood flowed.

“Still not good enough.”

He sat down cross-legged on the ground and introspected his physical body, seeing a strange power in his flesh conflicting with the immortal life force.

This was a rule, constantly destroying his body, terrifyingly dangerous, capable of suppressing the life force released from the Imperishable Golden Bones.

Only the life force released from the Undying Golden Pits could suppress the destructive power of this rule.

“This rule’s power is too sinister; it can’t be expelled by self-healing alone. Even if my body recovers, it will constantly be damaged,” Lu Yun mused grimly, sighing softly.

Given his current condition, he could barely utilize a tenth of his strength, which would be problematic if he encountered a strong enemy.

“What’s this?” In his despondence, Lu Yun spotted a glimmer of golden light a few hundred yards away.

Driven by curiosity, he pushed himself up and slowly walked towards it.

With slight movements, his wounds would burst open, and blood would spill.

Each drop of blood, heavy as a thousand pounds, hit the ground, creating one crater after another.

The distance of a few hundred yards took nearly an hour to traverse.

“A piece of bone?” Lu Yun was taken aback, having speculated that it might be some treasure or spirit herbs but never imagined it would be a bone, and a fragmented one at that.

Despite some disappointment, Lu Yun still picked it up. Everything within tens of thousands of miles had been reduced to dust, so this bone fragment’s preservation suggested it was extraordinary, likely no less special than the Imperishable Golden Bones in his body.

As the bone was picked up, its golden glow receded, revealing its true form.

The size of a thumb, its edges cleanly fractured, the surface like glazed glass with intricate patterns, emitted a soft radiance, and contained a mysterious force within.

“This bone…” Lu Yun furrowed his brows and muttered to himself, “Could it be the fragment of the Divine Bone from Han Zhong’s body?”

It was no wonder he harbored such suspicions; the power within the bone fragment made his heart palpitate.

The Runes within its patterns were even more complex than those in the Imperishable Golden Bones within his own body.

There was only one explanation, this fragment was stronger than the holy body’s Imperishable Golden Bones.

Although the Imperishable Golden Bones of the holy body had only undergone one Refinement, they weren’t comparable to ordinary bones.

Thus, Lu Yun surmised that this fragment was very likely from the Divine Bone within Han Zhong’s body.

Only he didn’t know the reason,

but at that time, Han Zhong had clearly sacrificed the Divine Bone in exchange for the Divine Presence Strike.

Logically, the Divine Bone should have vanished.

Instead, there was this fragment left, containing complex Runes and strong Divine Power.

Seated cross-legged, Lu Yun held the Divine Bone and began the Refinement process, absorbing the Divine Power within to see if it could help suppress and purge the bizarre destructive Rules power from his body.

After a short while, a trickle of Divine Power flowed into him, nourishing his flesh.

Soon after, Lu Yun’s complexion became rosier, and the recovery speed of his Physical Body began to increase.

“Indeed, the Divine Power in this can suppress and clear the bizarre Rules inside me.”

Lu Yun was secretly delighted. Initially, he had prepared to delay for a month or two to recover from his injuries and fully expel that Rules power.

Now, with this Divine Bone fragment, he could quickly resolve the hidden dangers and greatly improve his recovery speed.

Indeed, just a few days later, the internal hidden dangers had been cleared.

With no bizarre Rules power causing havoc and relying on the holy body’s self-healing power, the wounds on his body rapidly healed, and in less than half a day, Lu Yun was back to his Peak State.

Lu Yun examined the Divine Bone in his hand, feeling the Runes and Divine Power contained within. The remaining part, although only a fraction, still made his heart palpitate.

If it were in its complete state, how terrifying that would be, no wonder it could produce a Heavenly Pride like Han Zhong.

Sadly, such a precious Divine Bone was squandered by Han Zhong to this extent.

“Can I integrate this bone fragment into my Physical Body?”

Suddenly, this thought appeared in Lu Yun’s mind.

Though the Divine Bone was incomplete, the Divine Power it contained was abundant and the Runes exceptionally mystical. If he integrated it, could his holy body ascend a level?

However, his holy body’s foundation was already established, and if he rashly integrated this Divine Bone fragment, could it cause unfavorable effects?

Lu Yun toyed with the bone fragment as he pondered, and murmured, “Divine Bones of this existence have already exceeded my realm of knowledge; I must not integrate it rashly, otherwise even if it doesn’t become a shackle, it could still pose future risks.”

“But wouldn’t it be too wasteful to leave this Divine Bone fragment unused?”

He was considering whether to smelt it to awaken the Dragon Elephant Micro-particles.

This choice had its pros and cons.

Using the Hell Furnace to refine it would avoid leaving behind problems, but it would also mean giving up the secrets contained in the Divine Bone.

A complete Divine Bone holds the potential and secrets to becoming divine, and even a fragment, constituting one-tenth, still held astonishing value.

To give it up was indeed somewhat regrettable.

But considering the potential risks it could carry, Lu Yun dismissed the idea of keeping the Divine Bone.

Divine Power surged within him, the Hell Furnace appeared, and Lu Yun placed the fragment of the Divine Bone inside, instantly causing the Nether Flames to billow.
