Chapter 448: Dragon Roars and Phoenix Crys
“Gulp~”
Su Jingzhen forcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
At this moment, he was also waging an internal battle within himself.
He needed to seriously consider what Bai Suzhen just said.
But his curiosity towards this thing had already reached its peak.
He knew that if he didn’t investigate it today, he would be thinking about it every day.
Seeing Su Jingzhen’s expression, as if he was in a dilemma, Bai Suzhen didn’t urge him on.
She silently waited.
After all, it didn’t matter to her.
If what came out could be dealt with, that would be for the better.Even if it couldn’t be dealt with, she was confident that she could protect Su Jingzhen.
As for what kind of impact it would have on others, she couldn’t care less, she wasn’t that altruistic.
After pondering for a good while, Su Jingzhen’s adventurous spirit ultimately overcame his reason.
“Open!”
Today, there would be no regrets.
These two crystals on his body were causing him unbearable discomfort.
His heart would keep yearning for it, which was too disruptive for his cultivation.
Cultivation was about having a clear mind.
If you possessed a mountain of treasures but didn’t dare to enter, what was the point of cultivating?
“Alright!”
Hearing his words, Bai Suzhen simply replied with a single word.
Immediately afterward, another strong white light appeared on Bai Suzhen’s body.
The white python’s giant mouth opened once more, and Su Jingzhen saw a powerful yet mysterious energy acting upon the two crystals in front of him.
In the next moment, the surface of the Flame Fire Crystal and the Sky Frost Stone peeled off.
Revealing their true forms.
Explosive sacred flames and frost light burst forth.
Su Jingzhen was dumbfounded once again.
He felt that his brain had crashed just now.
He had only seen the surface phenomenon and had unconsciously assumed that the inside was the same.
But the surface only accounted for a small portion of these two stones.
As the light within them bloomed, Bai Suzhen’s eyes became increasingly solemn.
But at this point, the arrow has been shot and there is no turning back.
After all, they had already destroyed the surface of these two crystals, effectively breaking the original seal.
At this moment, even Su Jingzhen could feel the massive aura emanating from these two crystals.
No, not massive, but high-level!
These two auras were still very weak, but they seemed to be pressing down on Su Jingzhen’s soul.
He couldn’t help but feel insignificant.
As the aura gradually spread, the brilliance in Bai Suzhen’s clear eyes became increasingly dazzling.
“I said it would have an effect on both of us, and I was right!”
“Suzhen, what on earth is this?” Su Jingzhe swallowed his saliva again.
His eyes were filled with awe.
In his years of traversing the cultivation world, he had never felt this level of pressure.
Even though he had always believed that Shuang Jiang was the ultimate expert in the cultivation world.
But at that time, Shuang Jiang was severely injured and had never suppressed him with this level of pressure.
Even now, he felt that the most powerful Bai Suzhen beside him was still weaker than these two auras.
“Roar!”
“Squawk!”
Bai Suzhen hadn’t even responded yet.
Su Jingzhen heard a high-pitched dragon roar and a clear, melodious phoenix cry.
These two sounds made his heart tremor again.
He couldn’t help but step back.
At the moment these two sounds rang out, the pressure he felt became several times stronger.
Dragon’s roar and phoenix’s cry?
At this moment, Su Jingzhen unconsciously thought of this phrase.
When he absorbed the North Sea Dragon’s blood and when he used black bricks to release dragon-shaped spiritual energy, there had been such a majestic dragon roar.
But compared to the one in front of him, it seemed to be somewhat lacking.
In this instant, he suddenly understood why Bai Suzhen had hesitated before.
This thing, was indeed not something they could subdue.
In fact, at this moment, Su Jingzhen even regretted his rash actions.
With his current strength, if what was sealed inside was indeed a dragon and phoenix.
That would truly be going against the heavens.
It wouldn’t be a fortunate encounter, but a disaster.
Dragons and phoenixes represent auspiciousness, whether in the ancient earth or in the cultivation world.
They are symbols of strength and sacredness, and also of nobility and dignity.
“Suzhen,…” Su Jingzhen unconsciously looked towards Bai Suzhen.
She did not respond and her aura continued to rise.
At this time, Bai Suzhen also erupted with powerful pressure. However, Su Jingzhen couldn’t determine the level of her cultivation.
He unconsciously looked around the room. There was a faint silver glow, swaying and flickering. He knew this was Bai Suzhen’s self-activated barrier.
The commotion in this room was too great. Whether it was Bai Suzhen’s pressure or the movement within the Flame Fire Crystal and Sky Frost Stone, he feared it would directly break through this barrier and attract the attention of those outside.
If Shen Yifeng and the others saw him, it would be a small matter. But if the entire Dan Holy City saw this scene, it would undoubtedly become the focus of attention.
This matter is more important than the entire Xuening legacy.
Even if people give up on Xuening due to their fear of Shen Yifeng, they would not be able to ignore this scene.
Su Jingzhen could imagine that at that time, not only Qingzhou, but also people from the faraway Luo River Basin would come.
At that time, his plan to help Luo Yuebai establish Linjiang City as the center of Qingzhou and even the entire cultivation world would be forced to come to an end.
In fact, the entire Evil Moon Sect would be dragged down with him.
Su Jingzhen was not exaggerating.
In the cultivation world, one pull can affect the entire body.
However, as Bai Suzhen’s aura and the aura in the two crystals continued to rise, the barrier in the room was shaking but still remained strong.
Su Jingzhen finally let out a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Bai Suzhen opened her mouth once again.
Another wave of energy, carrying a hint of ferocity and the unique pressure, struck the exposed inner layer of the flame crystal and frost stone.
In the next moment, the dragon and phoenix pressure grew even stronger, and the temperature in the room skyrocketed.
The heat emanating from the flame crystal was so intense that it seemed as if it could melt the very fabric of space.
Fortunately, Bai Suzhen had set up a barrier in advance.
Otherwise, this heat would have surely destroyed everything within several feet of the area.
The blood energy from the eight secret repositories in Su Jingzhen’s body surged, protecting his body.
He felt as if he was about to melt.
Just as he was about to ask for help from Bai Suzhen, a wave of cold energy erupted from the frost stone, scattering the heat.
In an instant, the room turned into an ice cave.
The biting cold made Su Jingzhen shiver uncontrollably.
In that moment, Su Jingzhen noticed that when the two pressures exploded, the dragon aura in his body, as well as the energy of the Poisonous Woman he had suppressed in his secret repositories, seemed to be cowering, not daring to show the slightest sign of existence.
The energy of the Poisonous Woman in Su Jingzhen’s body mostly came from Feng Xuan.
He knew that it was at least a level six Poisonous Woman.
As for the North Sea Dragon blood in his body, he didn’t know what level it came from.
But the bloodline was noble.
Yet, these two energies seemed insignificant in the face of the current pressure, as if they had been reduced to dust.
Su Jingzhen didn’t have time to ponder on it, as he was already seated on the ground, continuously channeling the vital energy from the eight secret repositories in his body to strengthen his physical body and resist the alternating hot and cold energy.
Even the mere release of this hot and cold energy made Su Jingzhen’s physical strength gradually increase during the resistance process.
In a flash, Su Jingzhen stood up, assuming the posture of the Python Scales Power.
As a Body Cultivator, he could only muster his vital energy to its fullest potential while practicing Body Cultivation techniques.
However, as Su Jingzhen began to execute the Python Scales Power, the extreme cold and heat in the room seemed to be gradually absorbed into his body, as if they were being drawn in by his technique.
In that instant, Su Jingzhen felt his entire body freeze, his muscles stiffening to the point where he couldn’t even move.
At other times, it was as if he was about to be boiled alive, his body on the verge of melting.
As the extreme cold and heat alternated, his meridians, which he thought had already reached a certain level of strength, began to crack once more.
And this was just from him absorbing a tiny bit of the power that had seeped out from the void while he was practicing Python Scales Power.
His heart filled with dread again.
If those two forces had struck directly, wouldn’t he, Su Jingzhen, have died hundreds of times over?
While practicing Python Scales Power, Su Jingzhen also noticed that Bai Suzhen’s eyes were growing increasingly radiant on the other side.
But there seemed to be a hint of solemnity as well.
Before he could say anything more to Bai Suzhen,
Bai Suzhen’s serpent body suddenly shrank slightly.
She then rushed directly toward him, coiling her true form around his waist.
Her head extended past Su Jingzhen’s own, her gaze still locked firmly on the two crystals on the ground.
Su Jingzhen was momentarily stunned again, but he didn’t feel the blood energy produced by his Python Scales Power being drawn toward Bai Suzhen.
Instead, a cool sensation from Bai Suzhen spread throughout his entire body.
It nourished the meridians that had been shattered by the extreme cold and heat.
“Your opportunity has arrived. Get used to it first!”
Bai Suzhen’s voice rang out in Su Jingzhen’s ear again, filled with excitement.
Under the nourishment of Bai Suzhen’s gentle energy,
Su Jingzhen suddenly felt his Python Scales Power become much smoother.
“Suzhen…”
Su Jingzhen’s heart grew even more puzzled.
He wanted to ask something, but before he could finish, Bai Suzhen interrupted him.
“Don’t ask!
Absorb as much as you can, as much as you’re able to!”
