“Lin Yun, I’m now going to implant the Dragon Emperor’s bone into your body.”
After speaking, Emperor Huoyun picked up the prepared Dragon Emperor’s bone and placed it into Lin Yun’s arm, filling the space left by the removed bone.
Such a bone replacement typically required activation with the corresponding blood essence. However, since Lin Yun already had Dragon Clan blood essence in his body, this step could be skipped.
Once Emperor Huoyun inserted the Dragon Emperor’s bone into Lin Yun’s left arm, Lin Yun quickly circulated his inner energy, allowing the flesh and blood at the wound to coalesce and heal.
With his powerful healing ability, the wound fully closed in mere moments, restored to its original state. From the outside, the arm looked no different from before, showing no particular distinction.
However, this did not mean the bone replacement was complete. On the contrary, it was only the beginning.
“Next, I need to refine this dragon bone,” Lin Yun said, taking a deep breath.
Immediately, Lin Yun circulated his inner energy to envelop the Dragon Emperor’s bone while channeling the blood containing Dragon Clan essence toward it to activate it.
Boom!
As the refining process began and the Dragon Emperor’s bone was activated, it unleashed a powerful rejection. Lin Yun’s body was instantly affected.
His already pale face turned ashen, white as paper.
“Hiss… so cold!”
Lin Yun collapsed to the ground, curling into a ball, trembling uncontrollably.
A terrifying, chilling aura surged from the Dragon Emperor’s bone like a cold current, sweeping through Lin Yun’s entire body.
“This is bad. Such a strong rejection reaction!” Emperor Huoyun, standing nearby, saw the situation and his expression changed drastically.
He knew that refining the Dragon Emperor’s bone after implantation would be extremely difficult.
Emperor Huoyun had thought that Lin Yun’s Origin Body would make the process manageable.
But the current scene far exceeded his expectations.
The Dragon Emperor’s bone was simply too powerful.
If it were an ordinary dragon bone, Emperor Huoyun believed Lin Yun could refine it much more easily.
He also knew that in this situation, he could offer no help. Everything depended on Lin Yun himself.
“Disciple, you must hold on! Hold on!” Emperor Huoyun watched Lin Yun nervously, his fists clenched so tightly that his palms were sweaty.
At this point, Lin Yun was rolling on the ground, his body convulsing.
The terrifying chilling aura continued to assault and erode him, and his body fiercely rejected the foreign object.
If not for Lin Yun’s exceptionally strong physical body, he would already be finished.
This assault wasn’t just physical; it also invaded Lin Yun’s mind.
“My will cannot be broken!”
Amid the agony, Lin Yun clung fiercely to his resolve, refusing to let it waver or collapse.
In such moments, if his will broke, it would be the end.
As long as his will remained steadfast, he was unbreakable.
“So hot!”
After enduring the bone-chilling cold for a moment, a sudden volcanic eruption of heat surged within him.
Lin Yun felt as if he were being roasted by an immensely powerful blaze, his entire body melting.
Just moments ago, during the terrifying cold, he had longed for warmth.
Now, with such scorching heat erupting, he felt no joy, only another form of intense suffering.
As the terrifying heat surged within, most of Lin Yun’s internal organs rapidly lost function.
To Emperor Huoyun’s eyes, Lin Yun’s body was glowing red, his skin like burning coals.
“Aaah!”
Lin Yun rolled on the ground, his body seemingly contorted, sweat pouring like rain, accompanied by heart-wrenching screams.
Such cries echoed in the empty training room, sounding utterly tragic.
Lin Yun’s pain tolerance was already extraordinary.
When he had been afflicted with Soul-Breaking Poison, he had grown accustomed to it over time. Even when the poison flared up, he could endure it silently.
Yet now, he couldn’t suppress the gut-wrenching screams.
Moreover, his vision began to blur, his hearing seemed to fade rapidly, and his senses of touch and smell felt lost.
This sensation was terrifying…
It was as if he were walking toward death.
“Disciple!” Emperor Huoyun watched with pained and worried eyes, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
In his heart, he marveled. His disciple was seen as a prodigy, but few knew the sweat and suffering behind Lin Yun’s brilliance.
“Hold on!”
Lin Yun gritted his teeth, his mouth filled with blood, yet his will remained unbroken.
Even this torment and pain couldn’t easily shatter his resolve.
After about half an hour, Lin Yun finally stopped, lying on the ground, gasping heavily, his body drenched in sweat.
The Dragon Emperor’s bone had successfully fused with his body, and he had endured the immensely powerful rejection reaction.
“What a relief.”
A smile appeared on Lin Yun’s pale face, revealing his white teeth.
After enduring such prolonged agony, the absence of pain felt indescribably wonderful.
“Disciple, you’re truly remarkable!” Emperor Huoyun exclaimed with heartfelt admiration.
Today, he had witnessed Lin Yun’s true strength—not in talent, but in his indomitable will.
“Master, I’m exhausted and don’t have the energy to talk much. Let me lie here and rest for a bit,” Lin Yun said, managing a faint smile from his pale face.
“Rest well,” Emperor Huoyun nodded gently, saying no more to avoid disturbing Lin Yun. His eyes, however, revealed his deep concern.
After lying on the ground for about ten minutes, Lin Yun stood up, feeling much better after the brief rest.
“Let’s test the Dragon Emperor’s bone!”
Lin Yun raised his left arm and clenched his fist.
Boom!
The Dragon Emperor’s bone in his arm glowed with a green light, and the arm’s strength surged instantly.
“What a powerful feeling, haha!” Lin Yun laughed heartily, feeling the effects of the Dragon Emperor’s bone.
For Lin Yun, growing stronger was one of the most joyful experiences.
