The Revenge of the Reborn Supreme Sovereign

He continuously enticed the infiltrating Demon Dragon Qi, making no move to counter it and simply allowing it to rampage wildly within him. Once the dense Qi had completely poured into his body, he began to swell rapidly.

RRRRIP! His clothes instantly tore apart.

Corrupted by the Demon Dragon Qi, his exposed skin turned a dark, purplish-black. He looked like a terrifying monster. His body was grotesquely swollen, a purplish-black aura swirling over every inch of his skin. The sight was more spine-chilling than any monster from a horror film.

Despite the horrifying changes wracking his body, as the last of the Demon Dragon Qi surged inside, a wild, sinister smile spread across Qin Fan’s face. In that instant, with a surge of feverish excitement, he sealed his seven orifices! He would trap this Demon Dragon Qi inside, giving it no chance to struggle and escape!

Gritting his teeth against the pain, Qin Fan roared in his sea of consciousness.

Cangqiong Refining Body Decision!

After sealing his orifices, large beads of cold sweat formed on his darkened face as the Demon Dragon Qi crashed violently within him. Even he found the pain of being ravaged from the inside almost unbearable. One could only imagine the torment suffered by those who had previously perished in this fog of Demon Dragon Qi. It may have only been a few seconds for them, but to someone suffering such agony, even one second can feel like an eternity.

As Qin Fan invoked the technique, strange, golden-lit characters immediately spun and darted out from his sea of consciousness. As the Cangqiong Refining Body Decision activated, the Golden Core in his Dantian began to stir. Scorching True Yuan surged from his Dantian, flooding into every meridian.

The rampaging Demon Dragon Qi, which had been on the verge of assaulting and consuming Qin Fan’s very soul, came to a sudden halt as it sensed the influx of True Yuan.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Inside Qin Fan’s body, the Demon Dragon Qi reflexively charged toward the incoming True Yuan.

Success or failure hinges on this!

Acutely aware of this internal shift, Qin Fan tensed. His Prison Suppressing Body would ultimately protect him from being consumed. However, if his True Yuan failed to suppress the Demon Dragon Qi, this entire endeavor would be for nothing, and he would have suffered the agony of its invasion in vain. No one could calmly face such a double loss, and Qin Fan was no exception.

TSSSS!

TSSSS!

TSSSS!

Fortunately, his fears were not realized. As the True Yuan clashed with the Demon Dragon Qi, a series of sizzling sounds erupted from within his body.

Like an unstoppable general on the battlefield, the True Yuan from his Golden Core charged forward with overwhelming dominance. It viciously suppressed the Demon Dragon Qi. The sizzling was the sound of the Demon Dragon Qi crying out as it was crushed!

Once the True Yuan’s initial assault shattered the Demon Dragon Qi, it advanced with the ease of splitting bamboo, beginning to rapidly devour its foe.

TSSSS!

TSSSS!

TSSSS!

After losing the first exchange, the Demon Dragon Qi realized it had met a formidable opponent. Instead of fighting to the death, it immediately sought to flee. A panicked sizzle echoed within him. The Demon Dragon Qi reversed course, trying to escape through his seven orifices, only to find the exits sealed shut.

Sensing the changes within, Qin Fan chuckled in silent excitement.

With this vast amount of Demon Dragon Qi, would reaching the Middle Stage of the Golden Core even be a question? No! Not only is the Middle Stage a certainty, but after refining the Crystal Cores of Orochi and the Qiantang River Flood Dragon, I could likely surge all the way to the Late Stage of the Golden Core in one fell swoop! After all, I have a five-hundred-year foundation from my time Crossing Tribulation on the Cangqiong Continent. In this life, I only need the right opportunities for my cultivation to progress with twice the results for half the effort. The Demon Dragon Qi, Orochi’s Crystal Core, the Qiantang River Flood Dragon’s Crystal Core... these are all tremendous opportunities! Perhaps this is fate. The Crossing Tribulation Heavenly Thunder on the Cangqiong Continent failed to kill me. This means I’m destined to look down upon the world, no matter the state I find myself in.

HUMMM! HUMMM! HUMMM!

Finding nowhere to run, the Demon Dragon Qi erupted in a final, maddened frenzy. In that moment, Qin Fan’s sealed orifices began to vibrate violently! The excruciating pain, like that of facing his Heavenly Tribulation, washed over him once more.

Damn it!

He couldn’t stop the internal curse. Gritting his teeth so hard his face trembled, large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks.

Fortunately, his True Yuan was devouring the Qi with incredible speed. The intense pain didn’t last long before it began to subside. The Demon Dragon Qi’s final struggle tormented Qin Fan for less than fifteen minutes.

Once his True Yuan had completely consumed the Demon Dragon Qi, Qin Fan’s orifices relaxed in exhaustion. His swollen body rapidly began to return to normal. The black energy covering his skin dissipated. A few breaths later, Qin Fan felt utterly hollowed out, yet a brilliant smile of relief and elation lit up his face.

He didn’t allow himself to rest. Despite his extreme fatigue, he forced himself to deploy the Eye-Blocking Array to conceal the Heavenly Pit on the ridge outside the cave. He then used his True Qi to form a protective Qi Shield around himself.

Seizing the moment while his True Yuan was still churning with excitement after devouring the Demon Dragon Qi, he summoned the Crystal Cores of Orochi and the Qiantang River Flood Dragon from his storage space. He placed them on the Jade Bed and grasped them firmly in his hands.

Using his True Yuan as a conduit, he began to slowly draw the essence out of the Crystal Cores and into his body.

With that, Qin Fan closed his eyes, held his breath, and allowed the Cangqiong Refining Body Decision to surface in his sea of consciousness. He entered a state of empty-minded selflessness.

For three days and nights, Qin Fan remained in this position, completely motionless. Throughout this time, his body underwent wave after wave of transformations. His bones repeatedly fractured and healed on their own, while his internal organs underwent continuous renewal. Countless waves of foul-smelling sweat had coated and dripped from his skin.

Throughout the entire process, Qin Fan seemed to be in a void-like trance. Yet, an uncontrollable smile frequently graced his lips, for while his body was still, his consciousness remained clear, allowing him to perceive every change within.

He could feel his Golden Core constantly expanding, his meridians strengthening, and the True Qi within him growing ever more immense. He knew his speculation had become reality!

He had not only smoothly broken through to the Middle Stage of the Golden Core but had even charged into the Late Stage. He was now just one step away from the peak of the Golden Core, from facing his next Heavenly Tribulation
