Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 163 Body Refining
The heavenly sounds continued, and purple-gold lightning surged, transforming into swords, dragons, and snakes, bombarding down one after another.

Xu Xuan focused his attention on Tianxin. He remembered what Tiantuo had said before, that in ancient Taoism, there was no division of realms such as foundation-building and purple mansion. It all depended on the comprehension of the Tao. If one could overcome the calamity and ascend to heaven, he would be called Daluo and could be said to have attained the Tao.

The ancients' method of transcending the world was to refine all the yin impurities to return to pure dryness, and to overcome the tribulation to seek pure yang in the soul. As the lightning continued to temper him, Xu Xuan's soul was gradually covered with a layer of pure gold.

Xu Yi looked at Xu Xuan above. She had a strange expression on her face. After a contest, Mu Youdu was ultimately the better one. He received more powerful lightning and gained more benefits.

"Is he really going to ascend?"

The woman's eyes were full of doubts, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"Quickly take this evil star away."

As the two continued to suffer from thunder tribulations, more and more white gas accumulated in their respective tokens. The boundless thunderclouds in the sky cracked a line, and gradually bright skylight sprinkled down, with glittering rainbow light and bursts of clear sounds.

“The path has manifested.”

Xu Yi exclaimed in surprise. At this time, the lightning stopped. She was curious and flew up on the wind, arriving at a place with Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan looked at the ray of light, feeling something was wrong. He did not move rashly, but turned to look at Xu Yi and said in a deep voice:
"Now that the soul has been tempered, quickly return to the body."

Xu Yi glanced at the other person, felt a chill, and his soul quickly returned to his body. Xu Xuan also summoned the pure energy and his soul returned.

The two bodies were sitting opposite each other at this time. As soon as Xu Yi opened her eyes, she saw the other person's dragon face. She quickly stood up, flew up on the wind, and ran towards the ray of light in the sky.

"Fellow Daoist Youdu, I'll go ahead."

She had only one thought in her mind, to leave quickly, otherwise it would be too awkward for her to be alone with the dragon and think about what happened before.

In the thunderclouds, the sky gradually brightened, as if there was a way to survive above. However, Mu Youdu below did not move, but watched quietly.

When she reached the ray of light in the sky, she was about to continue going up, but she saw that the originally quiet thunderclouds were now in turmoil. The white lightning quickly condensed and turned into a Taoist priest in a platinum Taoist robe.

This man had a thin face and was one of the dead bodies below. His eyes were cold and murderous, and a pair of eight-sided dragon-shaped maces gradually appeared in his hands.

Different from the previous heavenly thunder, this thunder spirit seemed to target the flesh body specifically, causing Xu Yi's blood and energy to shake. Before she could think about it, the opponent had already killed her, and the thunder mace was swung down, specifically destroying the flesh body and stopping the blood and energy.

Xu Yi took out the small tripod, and pictures of flowers, birds, insects, fish, mountains, rivers and streams appeared from above, protecting his body. He cast nine spells in succession, all for protection.

The precious mace surrounded by white thunder was swung down with great power, passing through the small tripod and the magic spell and smashing directly into her magic body.

The opponent's strength was quite subtle, not enough to kill her directly, but it was the limit of her endurance. She vomited blood and flew backwards, falling straight down.

"Fellow?"

Xu Xuan looked at Xu Yi, who was chopped black and fell in front of him. Upon hearing what he said, the other party immediately stood up and took some medicine to regulate his breathing.

"After refining the spirit, I will refine the body. I never thought this place would be so evil. I can only withstand the lightning with my body. Magical weapons and spells are useless."

"Daoyou, you are vomiting blood."

"The lightning tempers the body and expels the filth from the body."

"Your left breast was hit and collapsed..."

"It's a small matter. The bones and muscles have been reshaped by the lightning, which has many benefits for the body."

Xu Yi's expression was calm. Although many bones in his chest were broken, he still looked like a master. He chuckled and said,
"Fellow Daoist Youdu, why don't you give it a try? I've heard that the dragon-type body is very powerful. I hope my personal attributes won't let me outmatch it."

Xu Xuan looked at the other party, his dragon snake pupils narrowed slightly, lightning flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice:
"I will definitely let you see the power of my physical body!"

"Okay, fellow Daoist Youdu, please don't let me down. Don't be a useless person who only looks good."

Xu Yi snorted lightly, showing a bit of disdain, and looked up. Lightning flashed on the purple clothes, and the air was fairy-like. His left chest was collapsed from the beating, but his momentum was not reduced at all.

Xu Xuan, in a half-dragon, half-human posture, ran straight towards the ray of light in the sky. The Taoist was already standing in the clouds. When he saw him coming, he came with his mace to kill him.

White lightning lingers on the mace, and the meaning of punishment is captivating, specifically destroying the physical body and Dharma body.

The golden feathers on [Xi Yan] rang loudly, and the sun's divine light was shining, but the opponent's thunder mace passed through directly and could not be blocked at all. Xu Xuan's several spells were useless.

"As expected, I can only carry it with my body."

He no longer made any futile attempts, and drew his sword. White sword energy emerged, and [Dan Ting], after undergoing the transformation of the [Jie Xin Pool], also contained a bit of the true meaning of She Lei.

The two sides took on each other head-on without dodging or evading. The thunder mace came down, and this time the power was much stronger than when it hit Xu Yi, which made Xu Xuan's eyelids twitch.

"Fellow Daoist Youdu, you are not incapable, are you?"

Xu Yi's voice sounded from below, arousing Xu Xuan's ferocity, and he directly took the opponent's blow.

The scales of the Mingze dragon species are used to deflect and weaken the power of magic, which slightly reduced the power of the lightning, but the force was still extremely terrifying. The thunder mace hit Xu Xuan's right shoulder, and the dragon scales were instantly shattered and the bones and tendons were broken.

"No matter how strong the body is, the force exerted by this thunder spirit is just the limit of the opponent's endurance, so it won't kill them directly."

Xu Xuan suddenly realized that it was indeed the Xuanshu Immortal Dao, which was directly inherited from the Lei Palace. This method of tempering the body was truly violent.

He also swung out the magic sword in his hand, lightning surged, and the sword energy cut through the opponent's body condensed by lightning. The [Jade Blood Heart] was activated, and he quickly repaired the magic body.

The lightning of punishment at the wound dissipated, and was replaced by a cool air. As the body was repaired, the right shoulder recovered and became even tougher than before.

Xu Xuan's eyes lit up and he took the initiative to step forward, allowing the thunder mace to hit him. Every time, his bones and tendons were broken, but his body became stronger and stronger and was constantly tempered.

Xu Yi, standing below, had already repaired his Dharmakaya. The sight of him was terrifying. Putting his Dharmakaya's strength aside, Mu Youdu was truly resilient. Finally, Xu Xuan thoroughly subjected himself to the blows of the Taoist across from him. The thunder mace fell again, and he materialized his dragon head, instantly biting down. Dragon teeth clung to the mace, shrouded in sword energy, and he yanked it back.

The Taoist was pulled over, Xu Xuan's eyes flashed with ferocity, and Dan Di pierced the other party's eyebrows directly, strangling him immediately, and a white gas poured into Xu Xuan's token.

'died? ’

Seeing the vitality of the life in front of him gradually dissipate, he breathed a sigh of relief. In order not to waste it, he bit the thunder mace into pieces and swallowed it into his stomach.

Xu Yi, who was watching from below, had become accustomed to it and looked numb.

The Taoist's body had turned into scattered lightning, but he suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Xu Xuan, and the surrounding lightning also stopped.

Xu Xuan felt a chill on his back. Xianji kept giving him warnings, but the Taoist in front of him said in a deep voice:

"Evil dragon."

The lightning condensed into three Taoists again, looking like the old, middle-aged and young three generations, exactly like the dead corpses below. Each of them held a magic weapon and formed a formation to surround Xu Xuan.

His expression changed, and he opened his dragon head, spitting out the fragments of the thunder mace, which had been refined a lot. He turned and said embarrassedly:

"The property returns to its original owner."

What answered him was a raging thunder, which revealed his true form. The scales on his dragon body shattered like falling rain, his bones and muscles were broken, he vomited blood, and flew backwards, falling straight to the ground.

Xu Yi stood aside, seeing the other party's miserable state, and chuckled:

"Fellow Daoist Youdu, you need to change your gluttony, or you will suffer in the future."

Xu Xuan relied on the [Jade Blood Heart] to repair himself, and it took him a long time to get up. He transformed into human form again and looked around.

"Where's my dragon blood? Where are my dragon scales?"

It is conservatively estimated that the attack of the three thunder spirits just now knocked off nearly a hundred dragon scales, and a lot of dragon blood was spilled. These were left by pure-blooded dragon species. Even if they were sold, they would be worth a lot of money. How could they be thrown away?

He glanced around and saw that the blood Xu Yi had vomited had solidified on the ground, but his own blood had disappeared.

"Fellow Daoist Xu Yi, where did my scale blood go?"

Xu Xuan stared at the other person with a suspicious look.

Xu Yi looked up at the sky, his expression calm, and smiled softly:

"These three thunder spirits are extremely powerful. Since they are besieging us, we should attack together. As long as we can get through, I think there will be a lot of benefits."

"Where is the blood I shed?"

"This Ascension Platform is full of strangeness. I think the demise of Xuanshu Dao was unclear, leaving behind many rumors, among which..."

"Give it back."

"Haha, fellow Daoist, you're joking. As a direct descendant of the Yin Lei Sect, I would never do such a thing."

Xu Xuan couldn't bear it any longer. He was already going crazy with poverty. All of this was money. He had transformed into a pure-blooded dragon. The dragon scales and blood were both great medicines. Even if he sold them, he could exchange them for a lot of spiritual objects.

He immediately revealed his dragon head, showing a mouthful of white dragon teeth, and said angrily:

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you return it to me, or give me a few pounds of flesh and blood."

Xu Yi's eyes lit up, he rolled up his sleeves, took a step forward, revealing his white wrists, and said with a calm smile:
"That's what fellow Daoist said himself. Come on, it will grow again soon anyway, just say it, Daoist Youdu."

Xu Xuan was speechless at her reckless behavior. He changed back into human form, drew his sword, and said coldly:

"Fellow Daoist, it's hard to see what's happening here from outside. You don't want to anger me, do you?"

Xu Yi looked at the opponent's sword, sighed, took out something the size of a mustard seed, which turned into a green jade ring, and handed it directly to Xu Xuan with a look of resentment in his eyes.

Xu Xuan took it and found that there were indeed a lot of dragon scales and dragon blood in it. There were even a few dragon scales mixed with the energy of thunder and fire. They were exactly what the immortal general had knocked down before.

His face turned pale. He thought he had taken advantage of the situation, but he didn't expect that there was someone more ruthless than him who was targeting him directly.

"My great medicine, my [Heavenly Dragon Sixth Transformation Elixir]."

Xu Yi muttered in a low voice that the flesh and blood of pure-blooded dragon species is a great medicine and is hard to find in the world. Her sect just needs an elixir, so she became interested in it.

Hearing this, Xu Xuan's face became darker and darker. He immediately took out the dragon scales and dragon blood and swallowed them all in one gulp, refining them all into blood and energy to replenish his essence. He looked at Xu Yi as if he was guarding against a thief.

"Even eating yourself, how cruel."

Xu Yi felt a chill on her back. The other party's dragon teeth were sharp. Thinking of her previous rogue behavior, she was afraid that this Youdu Dragon Son would really eat her alive.

After Xu Xuan finished regulating his breathing, he took a long breath and looked at the three Taoists standing in front of the skylight. His eyes were cold and he said in a deep voice:
"Hold the line for me, I'm going to kill these thunder spirits."

He transformed himself, revealing his true form. The purple thunder rolled into a huge lake, and the dark gray dragon body circled, carrying the lake of thunder to the sky. The [Puhua Thunder and Fire Pearl] was suspended between the dragon's horns, and the [Xi Flame] turned into pure golden wings of fire, growing on the dragon's back.

Then Xu Yi flew directly to Xu Xuanlong's body as if possessed by a ghost, grabbed Xu Xuanlong's horns, held up the small tripod in his hand, and shouted with a laugh:
"Ascend to the sky."

Xu Xuanlong's scales tightened, and after thinking for a moment, he let her go. He roared loudly and charged straight into the formation formed by the three thunder spirits. What came towards him was a surging thunder that submerged the dragon and the man.
