Chapter 117: Middle-Stage Inquiring Journey Realm Battle Power

Instantly, Jiang Chen experienced an intense warmth as though he had swallowed a globe of radiant sunlight.

Subsequently, an explosion of golden dragon motifs erupted from his abdomen, akin to countless miniature golden dragons running amok within his body.

Were his physical form of average constitution, he would have exploded on the spot, succumbing to a gruesome demise.

However, Jiang Chen possessed the Eternal Boundless Body!

The powerful energy, seemingly beyond Jiang Chen's endurance threshold, was swiftly absorbed.

Soon after, all of the golden fluid was metabolized by Jiang Chen.

Golden dragon motifs traced illuminating paths across the surface of his skin, presenting an extraordinary spectacle.

In Jiang Chen's eyes, a radiance bloomed, overflowing with boundless coldness, majesty, aloofness, and a murderous aura!

After a prolonged moment, the golden dragon motifs on Jiang Chen's skin gradually dimmed and retracted into his body.

His gaze gently refocused, returning to its usual serene composure.

'Death Calamity True Dragon!'

'Of the true dragon clans, the sovereign of death!'

Jiang Chen raised his right hand, and with a mere thought, his nails turned pitch-black within a fraction of a second, lengthening by three inches, and radiating an eerily sharp luminescence.

After integrating the power of the Death Calamity True Dragon's bloodline, Jiang Chen's abilities underwent an astronomical increase across all aspects.

Take, for example, the strength of his body.

At this moment, it had reached the Inquiring Journey realm!

Additionally, his spiritual essence also experienced substantial enhancement, and he gained proficiency in a special pupil technique, the 'Death Calamity's Pupil'.

This pupil technique, similar to the 'Spirit Stirring Sting', belonged to the same category of offensive skills.

An amalgamation of the two could shatter the soul of a Mysterious Platform cultivator with just a single glance.

A Heavenly Origin realm cultivator caught under such a gaze would suffer severe spiritual trauma, teetering on the brink of imbecility!

Moreover, Jiang Chen had also mastered the technique of Dragon Transformation!

Upon transforming into a dragon, his overall battle power would undergo another significant surge!

At his current stage, he could only partially transform into a dragon, predominantly maintaining his human form.

As his stage advanced, the potency of his Dragon Transformation would continue to strengthen, and its form would draw closer to that of the Death Calamity True Dragon, eventually acquiring the capability to truly transform into a real dragon!

'Incredible!'

'The power derived from this bloodline is simply astounding!'

'At this stage, my actual combat strength has undoubtedly surpassed the Heavenly Origin realm and has entered the territory of the Inquiring Journey realm!'

Jiang Chen's eyes shone brightly, his excitement nearly overwhelming.

After a moment, he managed to rein in his excitement, deciding to continue consolidating his progress.

Up to this point, he had inventoried and utilized all the benefits he had obtained from the Cave Heaven secret realm.

However, the rewards given by the system were yet to be examined.

This time, after defeating the protagonist, Ye Fan, his Black Heavenly Fate Value exceeded ten thousand, leading to an upgrade of the System Mall to Level 2.

From the gift package of the System Mall upgrade, Jiang Chen gained a 'wealth of benefits'.

These comprised the Dao Palace spiritual plant, the 'Primordial Essence Moist Flower', the Dao Palace top-grade cultivation pill, the 'Nine Suns True Spirit Enhancing Pill', the Dao Palace sword formation manual, the 'Indestructible Myriad Shapes Sword Formation', and the Dao Palace storage artifact, the 'Heavenly Demon Hidden Heart Ring'.

Also included were ten random natural treasures related to the Dao Comprehension realm, a hundred random natural treasures of the Inquiring Journey realm, and a staggering thousand random natural treasures from the Heavenly Origin realm!

He had already equipped the Heavenly Demon Hidden Heart Ring, and began to make use of it.

However, the remaining treasures were yet to be deployed.

'Let's start with the spiritual plants!'

'Considering the spiritual plants from the Dao Palace realm, alongside those from the Dao Comprehension realm, Inquiring Journey realm, and Heavenly Origin realm, I'm eager to see to what extent they could rejuvenate the Burning World Red Lotus?'

With an air of anticipation, Jiang Chen proceeded to extract all the spiritual plants from the bounty of natural treasures he had acquired.

The variety of natural treasures encompassed spiritual plants and peculiar ores, among other components.

Among the natural treasures Jiang Chen had obtained, there were a total of two hundred eighty-three spiritual plants from the Heavenly Origin realm, twenty-one from the Inquiring Journey realm, three from the Dao Comprehension realm, and a single one from the Dao Palace realm.

'The spiritual plants originating from the Heavenly Origin realm are almost inconsequential at this stage.'

'Even though the system gifts are among the choicest within the Heavenly Origin realm, their potency seems somewhat deficient. It would be more judicious to preserve them for other uses.'

'I'll begin with the intake of the spiritual plants from the Inquiring Journey realm.'

Jiang Chen stored away the spiritual plants from the Heavenly Origin realm and arranged the ones from the Inquiring Journey realm in front of him.

Compared to the Heavenly Star Crossing Calamity Precious Ginseng, which was a pseudo spiritual plant of the Inquiring Journey realm, the ones granted as part of the system's grand gift package bore significantly greater power.

Twenty-one spiritual plants, each one among the most coveted within the Inquiring Journey realm!

"Time to get high!"

With a swift motion, Jiang Chen grasped a spiritual plant, played with it between his fingers, and then popped it into his mouth, swallowing it in one gulp.

Instantaneously, an extraordinarily potent flood of medicinal energy coursed into his dantian, being absorbed by the Burning World Red Lotus.

Post absorption, the Burning World Red Lotus subtly displayed elusive traces of a red hue, barely discernible to the unaided eye.

'These Inquiring Journey spiritual plants do have an effect!'

Casting a glance at the Burning World Red Lotus, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction. With that, he resumed his silent ingestion of the spiritual plants.

Crunch, crunch.

One by one, the spiritual plants, which even the powerhouses of the Inquiring Journey realm would covet, were consumed by Jiang Chen and absorbed by the Burning World Red Lotus.

In no time, all the Inquiring Journey spiritual plants were consumed.

The Burning World Red Lotus now radiated a noticeable crimson hue.

Jiang Chen's eyes sparkled with anticipation as he started consuming the Dao Comprehension spiritual plants.

As soon as he gulped down the first one, a horrifying blast of medicinal energy exploded within him!

Jiang Chen felt an impending sense of danger, as if he was on the brink of explosion.

Yet, in the grand scheme of things, nothing detrimental occurred. The overpowering medicinal energy was wholly absorbed by the Burning World Red Lotus.

Jiang Chen held back from inspecting the transformations in the Burning World Red Lotus again.

Unperturbed, he proceeded to consume the remaining two Dao Comprehension spiritual plants and the lone Dao Palace spiritual plant.

Upon the absorption of the massive medicinal energy by the Burning World Red Lotus, this parched lotus seemed to regain some semblance of moisture.

Originally, the Burning World Red Lotus was completely wilted, devoid of any lively color.

Gradually, it recaptured a hint of its original hue.

At present, it had rejuvenated from an entirely withered state to a semi-withered one, regaining much of its lost vibrancy.

The resurgence of the Burning World Red Lotus correspondingly conferred immense benefits upon Jiang Chen!

A substantial amount of peculiar energy reverberated from the Burning World Red Lotus, ceaselessly enhancing Jiang Chen's aptitude and advancing his cultivation base!

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chen's cultivation base was wholly consolidated, then sequentially shattered the boundary of the Early-stage Heavenly Origin realm and leapt directly into the Late-stage Heavenly Origin realm!

Moreover, Jiang Chen could unmistakably perceive that his physical body underwent an even more profound purification process, becoming further refined, signifying a notable improvement in his cultivation aptitude.

'It appears the Burning World Red Lotus is on par with the Wordless Heavenly Jade.'

'To have my cultivation base directly bypass two minor realms, this sensation is beyond exhilarating!'

'Now, to what extent has my true combat power increased?'

With a gaze filled with astonishment, Jiang Chen activated his attribute panel.

'My true battle power is on par with the Middle-stage Inquiring Journey realm, truly astounding!'

A subtle grin appeared on Jiang Chen's face, 'When I enact the Dragon Transformation, my combat strength will surely rocket!'

Feeling the torrential power surging within, Jiang Chen experienced a reassuring sense of security for the first time.

Yet, he was keenly aware that this was hardly enough.

The monstrous abilities showcased by some protagonists in the tales defied all norms; his status in the Inquiring Journey realm was hardly something to brag about.
