Before long, the single drop of essence blood was fully refined by Lin Yun. The violent aura it contained was completely eradicated, and the blood was successfully absorbed.
After this drop of essence blood merged into Lin Yun’s bloodstream, he felt his flesh, skin, and organs nourished, as if a plant had been irrigated with vital nutrients.
In particular, the Dragon Emperor Bone within Lin Yun’s body absorbed the energy from the essence blood, enhancing its compatibility with him.
“As expected of first-grade bloodline essence blood. The effect is truly remarkable!”
Feeling the impact of this single drop on his physical body, Lin Yun was elated.
He was well aware that his physical body had already reached the late stage of the Origin Body. At such a high level, further improvement was extremely difficult.
Yet, this essence blood brought tangible progress.
Beyond the Origin Body lay the Immortal Divine Body.
Transitioning from the Origin Body to the Immortal Divine Body was a massive bottleneck, its difficulty arguably surpassing the leap from the Dominion Realm to the Saint Realm.
The human body was inherently weaker.
For humans to cultivate their physical body to such a formidable level was an immensely challenging task.
“I wonder if this essence blood can help my physical body break through this major bottleneck and reach the Immortal Divine Body?” Lin Yun mused, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
He knew how powerful the Immortal Divine Body was. Even if one’s head were severed, they could survive and regenerate it.
Though hopeful, Lin Yun tempered his expectations, knowing the immense difficulty of achieving the Immortal Divine Body.
“Continue!”
Dismissing stray thoughts, Lin Yun swiftly extracted the second drop of essence blood.
…
Thus, Lin Yun methodically refined and absorbed one drop after another.
For an ordinary immortal, a single drop of dragon essence blood would be akin to poison, its domineering backlash sufficient to kill them.
But with his experience, willpower, and robust physical body, Lin Yun faced no significant issues.
Through this refining and absorption process, his physical body was steadily enhanced from the inside out, top to bottom.
Given the already formidable state of Lin Yun’s body, further improvement was a daunting task, requiring exceptionally potent resources.
This essence blood was undoubtedly a powerful nutrient.
…
“Hm? My physical body can’t be strengthened further?”
Upon absorbing the twenty-third drop, Lin Yun realised his body had been fortified to its limit. This drop could no longer enhance it.
In other words, his physical body had reached the absolute peak of the Origin Body.
“If my body has hit the limit of the Origin Body, how can I reach the Immortal Divine Body?” Lin Yun murmured.
He was certain that achieving the Immortal Divine Body would not be easy.
It was a monumental bottleneck, and he had no clear idea of how to attain it.
“No matter. Keep absorbing the essence blood!”
Resolved, Lin Yun continued extracting and refining the essence blood.
Since his physical body had reached the Origin Body’s limit, the subsequent essence blood no longer directly enhanced it.
However, the potent energy surged into every particle of Lin Yun’s body.
…
On the fifteenth day of refining within the One Thought Clear Heart Tower, Lin Yun absorbed the final drop of essence blood.
“Phew. That’s it?”
Lin Yun felt a sense of dissatisfaction, as if he wanted more.
The one hundred drops of first-grade essence blood had not enabled him to break through the physical bottleneck to reach the Immortal Divine Body.
This outcome was not unexpected.
The Immortal Divine Body was extraordinarily difficult to achieve, and even one hundred drops of essence blood had fallen short.
“Though I couldn’t break through the bottleneck with this essence blood, I’m likely not far off,” Lin Yun murmured.
He distinctly felt that, after the twenty-third drop, while the subsequent drops didn’t alter his physical body, their energy had surged into every particle of his body, continuously tempering them.
Lin Yun had a premonition that with further tempering, his body could undergo a qualitative transformation.
It was a process of gradual accumulation leading to a breakthrough.
Though the essence blood hadn’t directly propelled him to the Immortal Divine Body, it had laid a foundation.
Once enough had been accumulated, a single eruption could propel him to that level.
Perhaps another ten, twenty, or thirty drops of such high-quality essence blood would suffice to trigger the transformation, allowing his body to reach the Immortal Divine Body.
“No matter what, the foundation is set. These one hundred drops have brought me very close to the Immortal Divine Body,” Lin Yun said, a smile spreading across his face.
The Immortal Divine Body was an immense bottleneck, inherently difficult to achieve, so this result already satisfied him greatly.
“While these one hundred drops have laid a strong foundation, bridging the remaining gap will be challenging, as resources capable of aiding my current physical state are exceedingly rare,” Lin Yun said helplessly.
Beyond this, the one hundred drops had significantly benefited the Dragon Emperor Bone within him, further awakening its vitality and increasing its compatibility with Lin Yun.
Undoubtedly, the Dragon Emperor Bone would now unleash even greater power.
Moreover, the essence blood had strengthened Lin Yun’s dragon bloodline, making his dragon techniques even more formidable.
“With my current robust dragon bloodline, I should be able to cultivate the Divine Dragon Claw to its seventh stage, reaching perfection,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
The Divine Dragon Claw had seven stages, the final one being exceptionally difficult.
But after absorbing the East Sea Dragon King’s essence blood, Lin Yun felt that cultivating the seventh stage would come naturally.
“Let’s begin now.”
Determined, Lin Yun entered a cultivation state to train the seventh stage of the Divine Dragon Claw.
The seventh stage was highly challenging, but this time, Lin Yun found it surprisingly manageable.
After seven days of cultivation in the One Thought Clear Heart Tower.
Boom!
When Lin Yun raised his arm, it was instantly covered in dazzling golden dragon scales. An overwhelmingly ferocious aura erupted from his arm, surging from his palm!
