Chapter 558 - Suppressing the Dragon Marrow

Chen Fan's eyes lit up as he gazed at the Dragon Marrow, his excitement almost making him drool.

The Dragon Marrow also sensed Chen Fan’s eagerness and began to react. It emitted a dragon’s cry as it shifted and roared.

Despite being just a mass of energy, the Dragon Marrow, formed from a spirit vein absorbing a true dragon’s divine blood, had a rudimentary consciousness. It was highly sensitive to changes in fortune and misfortune.

“Hehe, no use crying out.” Chen Fan chuckled, his eyes gleaming with determination. “Since I’ve found you, you’ll be the key to my breakthrough!” He reached out toward the Dragon Marrow.

“

Aang

!” The Dragon Marrow wasn’t about to surrender easily. It had rudimentary consciousness, so it also had some plans for the future. If it continued to grow here, it could forge a true dragon’s body and transform into a true divine dragon.

With a dragon’s cry, it unleashed shockwaves of dragon’s might that surged like a tidal wave, tearing through the void.

Boom

!

Boom

!

Boom

!

Chen Fan's true primeval hand, trying to grab the Dragon Marrow, shattered from the impact, creating a storm of qi waves.

The Dragon Marrow might only be a powerful mass of pure energy, but its strength was comparable to a three-revolution Golden Core expert.

Chen Fan could easily deal with a three-revolution Golden Core realm expert. But that was when he was in his peak condition. He was injured and his combat strength had fallen sharply. It would not be easy to take down this Dragon Marrow.

That, however, didn’t mean he would just give up on this mountain of treasure. It wasn’t a greed thing; he just urgently needed the Dragon Marrow.

Although the Dragon Blood Rice could push the Myriad Elephants Divine Art to the fifteenth layer of complete mastery, it wouldn’t happen overnight.

However, if he could conquer this Dragon Marrow and absorb the energy within, his cultivation would immediately advance.

“

Hmph

, still trying to resist? If I weren’t injured, I could have captured a small Dragon Marrow like this with one hand. You wouldn’t have even dared to resist!”

Chen Fan was a bit embarrassed seeing his true primeval hand shattered so quickly by the Dragon Marrow.

He had gone from being able to effortlessly kill a three-revolution Golden Core expert to now struggling to suppress one. He was truly miserable.

“Submit for me!” Chen Fan’s gaze turned fierce. Ignoring his injuries, he unleashed a powerful aura. The Heaven Seizing Furnace appeared behind him and moved toward the Dragon Marrow.

The Dragon Marrow had consciousness and knew how to avoid danger. Chen Fan, on the other hand, could not let the Dragon Marrow escape, or he would have no one to cry to.

He didn’t hold back any longer and directly brought out the Heaven Seizing Furnace. With no one else around, Chen Fan had no qualms about using it.

The Dragon Marrow sensed the imminent threat of being fully refined. It immediately erupted with a powerful force, sending the furnace flying before letting out a strange cry and trying to flee.

“Thinking of fleeing? Not happening on my watch!” A ruthless light shone in Chen Fan’s eyes. He had already considered that the treasure belonged to him. How could he let the duck that was already in his mouth fly away?

Boom!

A terrifying aura spread from within him, and Chen Fan blocked the Dragon Marrow’s path in a flash.

The Dragon Marrow slammed onto Chen Fan’s protective true primeval with a bang, setting off a chain of explosions.

Chen Fan was thrown back by the impact, his qi and blood churning violently, making it hard to breathe.

The Dragon Marrow might seem small, but its strength was truly shocking.

That slam earlier felt like being hit by an ancient divine mountain, nearly shattering his skeleton.

Of course, the Dragon Marrow was also sent flying.

Chen Fan quickly seized this opportunity and made the Heaven Seizing Furnace swallow it.

Boom, boom, boom!

Loud booms echoed from within the Heaven Seizing Furnace as the Dragon Marrow charged left and right, trying to break free. It slammed onto the Heaven Seizing Furnace’s walls, making it shake violently as if it would shatter from the impact.

The Dragon Marrow was extremely powerful. Although it was hitting the Heaven Seizing Furnace, the force was transmitted to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan felt as if ancient divine mountains were ramming into him one after another. He had already sustained heavy injuries, so he immediately began spewing blood wildly. His aura went into disarray, and his complexion became pale.

“Damn it, suppress for me, refine!” A vicious light shone in Chen Fan’s eyes, aware that he had to suppress the Dragon Marrow as soon as possible. Otherwise, given his current condition, the Heaven Seizing Furnace might not be able to stop the Dragon Marrow’s charge.

If the Dragon Marrow broke out, he would have no choice but to watch it fly away.

Chen Fan immediately activated the Heaven Seizing Furnace. The heaven-refining flames erupted and began refining the Dragon Marrow.

It sensed great danger and let out deafening furious roars. Its charge on the walls of the Heaven Seizing Furnace became even fiercer.

Chen Fan spewed blood once more. However, he ignored it completely and sat cross-legged on top of the Heaven Seizing Furnace, operating it to ruthlessly suppress and refine the Dragon Marrow.

As time passed, the Heaven Seizing Furnace’s trembling gradually weakened.

Under the Heaven Seizing Furnace’s refinement, the Dragon Marrow finally surrendered. The tiny bit of consciousness it had gained was refined away.

The Dragon Marrow turned into a mass of incomparably vast and pure energy, suppressed at the bottom of the Heaven Seizing Furnace.

“

Phew

!” Chen Fan let out a sigh of relief and exhaled a mouthful of turbid qi. His gaze had become somewhat cloudy. “It’s finally suppressed. Now, I need to recover from my injuries first, then make use of the Dragon Marrow’s mass of energy to advance into the Nine Revolutions of the Golden Core realm. After I break through, I shall go find trouble with the Battle Heaven Alliance!” A fierce light flashed across Chen Fan’s eyes.

Chen Fan took out elixirs for recovery and consumed them, beginning his recuperation.

He also consumed the Dragon Meander Grass and Dragon Scale Fruit. They were treasures for healing and could speed up his recovery.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Fan spent three days completely recovering from his injuries, consuming many Recovery Elixirs, Dragon Meander Grass, Dragon Scale Fruit, and other treasures. It went to show how severe his injuries were this time.

It also reflected how powerful Nie Tao was, though it was unknown whether he managed to escape the Fire Apes’ encirclement.

“Now, it’s time to refine the Dragon Marrow’s energy and try to advance. I’m really looking forward to it. I wonder how strong I would be after reaching the Nine Revolutions of the Golden Core realm?” A trace of anticipation showed in Chen Fan’s eyes.

He didn’t delay any longer and closed his eyes. He channeled his cultivation and activated the Heaven Seizing Furnace, starting to refine the Dragon Marrow energy he had suppressed.

Immediately, an incomparably abundant mass of energy rushed into Chen Fan’s limbs and skeleton.
