Chapter: Awakening of Talent, Dual-Layered World
Boom!
As the dragon blood entered his body, that familiar violent force erupted within Chen Chu.
However, compared to the discomfort he experienced during his previous breakthrough to the four heavens, this high-level dragon blood caused significantly less damage to his body, likely attributed to the fact that it all belonged to ‘dragons’.
At that moment, a pure and extreme energy appeared out of nowhere, with the dragon elephant true power in his dantian surging forth to envelop the dragon blood.
Under the guidance of this power, the true power carved out new pathways inside his body, involving more intricate meridians, forming a stronger and more finely-tuned operation diagram.
Wherever the true power passed, strands of purified dragon blood essence fused into Chen Chu’s flesh and blood, and the dragon scale patterns on his bones and skin gradually became clearer.
Simultaneously, that pure energy split into two halves; one half merged into the true power, continuously operating and refining the dragon blood, while the other half surged into Chen Chu’s sea of consciousness.
In an instant, Chen Chu's consciousness shook, being pulled by an invisible force, merging with the dragon elephant phantom in his sea of consciousness.
Roar!
On the desolate and barren land, a giant dragon elephant, as massive as a mountain, roared toward the sky, an overwhelming will that shook the heavens and shattered the firmament erupted from its body.
As the embodiment of the dragon elephant galloped, a domineering aura, distinct from both spirit and mental power, spread throughout Chen Chu’s sea of consciousness, his will becoming gradually more tangible.
Hoo! Hoo!
With the breakthrough of his techniques, Chen Chu’s breathing gradually grew vast and heavy, the sounds of his breaths swirling like the howls of the wind, akin to a slumbering giant beast.
On him, the aura resembling that of a dragon, filled with dominance, and the ferocity of a giant elephant, grew increasingly strong...
Half an hour later, Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes, and within his bright, star-like black pupils were golden vertical pupils exuding a terrifying pressure.
Those golden vertical pupils resembled the statues of deities in temples, cold, majestic, and overlooking all living beings.
This time, Chen Chu did not immediately retract the dual-pupil phenomenon but instead slightly turned his head to observe his surroundings.
In his eyes, the world subtly transformed into two layers. One layer was the normal scene visible to the naked eye, with the air gently flowing and fine dust floating.
The other layer of the world appeared somewhat blurry; faintly, subtle cracks in the surrounding space occasionally emerged, only to blink and heal again.
It was as if the world he inhabited was a bottle on the verge of shattering, which felt inexplicably terrifying.
However, soon, as the golden vertical pupils in Chen Chu's eyes gradually faded, the terrifying image of the surrounding space breaking apart also began to disappear.
Hoo!
Chen Chu exhaled, his eyes filled with contemplation, “Are these dual pupils a result of the dragon elephant dominance body absorbing high-level dragon blood mutations? Or is it influenced by my continuously evolving physique?”
“If it’s the technique, then it seems I haven’t heard of anyone cultivating the dragon elephant dominance body awakening any other talents aside from true martial attributes.”
“If that’s the case, it should be related to my continuously evolving body, or perhaps a combination of both…”
With feedback from his avatar, the strength of his physical body continued to increase, and Chen Chu gradually began to perceive the distinction between his enhancements and those of regular true martial cultivators.
Other cultivators’ physical strength was akin to continuously tempering with true power, transforming under the baptism of heavenly and earthly energies toward true martial techniques.
