“After all, it is the Dragon Emperor Bone, its effects are predictable, and the strength of the Dragon Emperor Bone is extremely high, which can also enhance the defensive power of your arm!” Emperor Huoyun also revealed a smile.
Since Lin Yun had succeeded, Emperor Huoyun was naturally delighted.
“Master, since the first piece has been successfully transplanted, shall we proceed with the second?” Lin Yun looked at Emperor Huoyun, his eyes filled with anticipation.
For Lin Yun, this transplant was just the beginning. To achieve a comprehensive improvement, more than one piece of dragon bone needed to be replaced.
“Continue? Right now?” Emperor Huoyun looked at Lin Yun in astonishment.
“Yes, Master, is there a problem?” Lin Yun asked earnestly.
“You’ve just experienced that excruciating pain and the terrifying rejection reaction. You’ve tasted its intensity. Are you sure you want to endure it again? You managed to pull through this time, but that doesn’t guarantee success next time,” Emperor Huoyun said seriously.
The terrifying reaction just now had exceeded Emperor Huoyun’s initial expectations.
Thus, Emperor Huoyun was fully aware of how dangerous it would be to continue replacing the Dragon Emperor Bone.
To put it bluntly, Lin Yun had just walked through the gates of death.
For most people, having endured such torment, they would feel intense resistance, even develop psychological trauma, and be unwilling to face it a second time.
Lin Yun’s immediate proposal to continue replacing the Dragon Emperor Bone truly surprised Emperor Huoyun.
“Master, I’ve thought it through clearly. There’s definitely danger, but the path of cultivation is inherently fraught with thorns and countless risks. To reach the peak, one must fear no hardship,” Lin Yun said with a grin.
“Your words leave me speechless. I must admit, in many ways, you surpass even me,” Emperor Huoyun sighed with emotion.
“Master, can we begin?” Lin Yun asked.
“Even if we continue, rest for a day or two first. I’m worried you won’t be able to handle it,” Emperor Huoyun said with concern.
“It’s fine, Master. My origin body recovers quickly. The rest just now was enough!” Lin Yun grinned.
“Very well, let’s continue.” Emperor Huoyun waved his hand, revealing his treasured sword.
He trusted that Lin Yun had a sense of measure since he spoke with such confidence.
This time, it was the turn to replace the bone in his right arm.
As before, the process was step-by-step and straightforward in the initial stages: extract the bone, then implant the new one.
The pain of bone extraction was already beyond what ordinary people could endure, as it involved stripping the bone from the body. For Lin Yun, however, this pain was insignificant.
Soon, Emperor Huoyun successfully implanted the Dragon Emperor Bone into the right arm.
As Lin Yun began refining the Dragon Emperor Bone, it once again produced a strong rejection, and his body experienced a terrifying reaction.
Lin Yun was plunged back into that excruciating torment.
“Aaah!”
Heart-wrenching screams echoed once more in the training chamber.
Lin Yun desperately wanted to suppress his cries, but the pain was simply uncontrollable.
This was why replacing dragon bones required a powerful and trustworthy person to assist. In such moments, Lin Yun was almost entirely defenceless, practically at the mercy of others. If the person assisting harboured ill intentions, killing Lin Yun and seizing his treasures would be effortless.
In this torment, time passed second by second.
Although Lin Yun’s state appeared extremely dangerous, with the powerful rejection reaction seeming as though it could claim his life at any moment, it still could not destroy him.
Soon, the Dragon Emperor Bone in his right arm was successfully replaced.
With both arms now replaced, the next step was the lower limbs.
After resting for over ten minutes, the replacement of the lower limbs officially began.
Once the lower limbs were completed, the next task was the twenty-four ribs.
Each rib could only be replaced one at a time. The more replacements, the more times Lin Yun had to endure the torment and the greater the danger he faced.
…
After more than a day, all twenty-four ribs were successfully replaced.
When the final rib was replaced, Lin Yun let out a long breath, rested briefly, and then stood up.
“Master, let’s pause the Dragon Emperor Bone replacements for now,” Lin Yun said with a smile, his face slightly pale.
“My disciple, you’ve replaced so many Dragon Emperor Bones. How’s the effect? How do you feel?” Emperor Huoyun inquired.
“The replaced Dragon Emperor Bones are indeed far more powerful. When all the Dragon Emperor Bones in my body are activated, my strength will surely see a significant boost. The defensive power of my body and limbs will also increase. Of course, the exact extent will need to be tested in actual combat,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
“Yes, I believe the effect will be impressive, given they are Dragon Emperor Bones. But your condition isn’t great now, so I won’t have you test it in combat,” Emperor Huoyun said.
Lin Yun nodded. “Yes, and I need some time to adapt, to fully integrate the Dragon Emperor Bones and assimilate them, so I can unleash their full potential.”
“Then rest in this training chamber, adjust, and continue adapting and assimilating the dragon bones,” Emperor Huoyun said.
“Understood, Master,” Lin Yun replied with a smile.
After Emperor Huoyun left the training chamber, Lin Yun immediately summoned the Mind-Clearing Tower and entered it.
Next, Lin Yun used his internal energy and blood to continue assimilating the Dragon Emperor Bones, fully integrating them with his body.
One day, two days, three days…
As time passed, the assimilation of the Dragon Emperor Bones progressed smoothly.
After all, Lin Yun’s blood already contained dragon clan essence.
Under this assimilation, the flesh in contact with the Dragon Emperor Bones began to regenerate, and this newly formed flesh was significantly stronger than before.
On the fifth day, Lin Yun clearly felt the flesh in contact with the Dragon Emperor Bones regenerating, and this change gradually spread throughout his body.
This transformation continued until the fifteenth day.
“Haha, my physical realm has actually… actually reached the late stage of the origin body!”
Lin Yun opened his eyes and burst into laughter.
This was an unexpected gain beyond his expectations.
By transplanting the Dragon Emperor Bones, his physical body had undergone an immense enhancement under their influence, skipping the mid-stage of the origin body and reaching the late stage.
Reaching the origin body stage was already incredibly difficult, and further advancement was nearly impossible.
To achieve such a leap in progress was nothing short of astonishing.
