"Buzz!" Long Chen's
whole body glowed. The Supreme Bone entered his body and stayed in its original position. At that moment, his entire bone trembled.
"Crack, crack, crack... A
tiny bone, yet it seemed to contain cosmic power, making Long Chen's bones crack and crack form.
Long Chen was in unbearable pain, but he gritted his teeth, trying hard to stay awake and carefully observing the changes in his bones.
The process of blood condensation was directly completed by his father, who not only fully activated the Supreme Blood but also imparted all his insights about it to him.
The immortal arts and divine arts of the Seven-Colored Supreme Blood that Long Zhantian created himself were all imprinted into Long Chen's body in the form of runes. Everything Long Zhantian controlled was given to Long Chen without reservation.
However, when it comes to the Supreme Bone, Long Chen will have to explore it himself. It's a path no one has ever walked before. The dragon clan experts are just proposing a concept for Long Chen. Whether it works depends on Long Chen himself.
"Crack, crack, crack... After
Long Chen's bones cracked, they began to break. The intense pain made his vision sparkle and he nearly fainted. The bone-shattering pain was indescribable, even Long Chen felt he couldn't bear it anymore.
"The Long family is truly impressive. It seems they spend the most resources on the Supreme Bone. They know how to value money wisely." The dragon clan expert said, having been closely monitoring Long Chen's movements.
"How can this Supreme Bone possess such terrifying power?" Long Chen's face twisted in pain, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
"This Supreme Bone is no ordinary Supreme Bone. Otherwise, you and your father wouldn't have been so envied by heaven and met such a tragic fate." The dragon clan expert sighed.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, Long Chen stiffened all over, finally letting out a miserable scream. All his bones were crushed by the Supreme Bone, and Long Chen collapsed to the ground like a pile of mush.
"Don't move," said the dragon clan expert.
Long Chen trembled all over in pain, wanting to roll on the ground, but he still managed to stay calm. Hearing the dragon clan expert's words, he gritted his teeth and said, "
Even if I wanted to move, I couldn't!"
"Buzz"—
At that moment, the Supreme Bone on Long Chen's chest glowed, and a milky white thread spread out, like water flowing into a riverbank, slowly flowing into Long Chen's limbs and bones.
"Don't move! The Supreme Bone is helping you shape your bones and replace marrow. You're in a critical state right now—any disturbance will cause irreparable consequences." The dragon clan expert said solemnly.
Long Chen was in unbearable pain all over. Just moments ago, his bones had been crushed by force, and now it was like lava flowing through his marrow. The feeling was so intense it was almost unbearable.
But Long Chen didn't dare move at all, pretending to be dead, letting the milky white energy slowly penetrate every bone in his body.
The intense pain had made Long Chen forget the speed of time. He didn't know how much time had passed before the milky white thread finally pierced through all his bones.
"Damn, here we go again!"
Long Chen's whole body tensed up again. Just moments ago, the bones had shattered, but now they were beginning to heal, and the pain was just as intense as when they were healed.
Long Chen's bone fragments were pieced together, with many cracks above them, milky white energy repairing those cracks.
Although the cracks had been patched together, many lines remained, like indelible scars that could never be healed.
When the bones had healed enough, Long Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. The pain was gone, and he was already drenched in sweat.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
At that moment, Long Chen's Supreme Bone glowed, and his whole body tensed up again, intense pain sweeping through him once more.
"Again!"
Long Chen was on the verge of madness. The bones he had just repaired were crushed again by the power of the Supreme Bone, and then repaired once more.
This repeated nine times in total. After the ninth attempt to repair it, Long Chen finally couldn't hold on and fainted.
After an unknown amount of time, Long Chen finally woke up. Upon waking, he immediately began his introspection.
Long Chen was horrified to discover that his bones were no longer pure white; instead, countless dense patterns had appeared on them.
Each pattern radiated strange fluctuations, seemingly possessing endless energy.
"Bone markings?"
Long Chen was shocked. Bone patterns usually only appear on demons, beasts, and demons. Bone patterns are a technique passed down from them. Once you reach a certain level, you naturally awaken divine abilities, because these races have no written language and can only pass them down through this method.
Few humans have bone markings; even if they do, they do so through external forces, inscribing magical abilities into their bones to more quickly activate their spells and combat skills.
It's somewhat similar to Guo Ran's armor, except Guo Ran engraved runes on the outside, while some people have runes inscribed inside.
But the patterns on Long Chen's bones were not formations, nor runes, but endless, irregular patterns intertwined, densely packed and endless, seemingly chaotic or arranged in some strange order, making them hard to understand.
"These patterns are all scars from the shattered bones of mine. There seems to be something hidden in the chaos, but I don't feel anything at all." Long Chen looked at his own bones and clenched his fist.
It seemed his strength hadn't increased, nor had his blood or vitality changed, and the Supreme Bone that had returned to his chest silently seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep again.
"Try cutting your finger with a knife." said the dragon clan expert.
"No, I'm not foolish enough to cut off my fingers to test the strength of my bones!" Long Chen refused on the spot; this joke was not funny at all.
"Idiot, if I tell you to try, then go ahead." The dragon clan expert said impatiently.
Long Chen heard the tone of the dragon clan powerhouse, which didn't seem like a joke. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a domain artifact-grade sword, hesitated, and then slashed down at one of his fingers.
"Bang!" Long Chen's
fingers trembled, and although the skin wasn't cut, the longsword was deflected.
"What are you playing for? Swap for that immortal divine weapon. The dragon clan expert said irritably.
Long Chen had no choice but to grit his teeth and take out an immortal-grade battle axe he had snatched from the battlefield. But looking at the sharp axe and then at his own fingers, Long Chen's expression turned strange.
"Your body, hair, and skin are inherited from your parents..."
"Stop talking nonsense. It's not like you really got your hands chopped. Your bones are strange, I can't see them either. If you want to chop your bones and see how you react, if you're afraid of cutting your fingers off, you can just chop your own forehead with an axe." said the dragon clan expert.
"Forget it, I'll just cut my hands off!" Long Chen did not follow the advice of the dragon clan experts and chose to cut off his hand instead.
"Bang"
The
axe struck his finger with a muffled thud. The half-step immortal-level divine weapon was indeed sharp, and Long Chen's finger instantly bled.
"Can you use some force? You hit the tendon. Your tendon is now a dragon sinew, and with that kind of strength, you can't cut it. You haven't even touched the bone." The dragon clan expert cursed angrily.
Angered by the dragon clan's scolding, Long Chen swung his battle axe at the wound again.
"Boom!"
The moment the axe blade touched his finger bone, countless patterns lit up all over Long Chen's bones. Then, with a tremor in his large hand holding the axe, the axe flew out and punched a large hole in the ceiling of the secret chamber.
"Good grief."
At that moment, Long Chen was dumbfounded.
