When Lu Chen heard this, his eyes flashed with excitement..

" Then what are you waiting for? Quickly teach me how to absorb the energy in this skeleton!"

Su Li said," Don't worry. Not only does this skeleton contain energy, it's also an extremely precious artifact material. However, it's been stored for a thousand years. If we absorb the energy from it, without the support of demonic energy, this skeleton will turn into powder in less than six hours and can no longer be used for artifact refinement.".

”

Lu Chen frowned." Master, don't you know how to refine artifacts? Just refine them into magic treasures.".

”

Su Li shook his head." It's not that simple. To refine this fifth-rank demon beast skeleton into a magic treasure requires a lot of materials, and the process is extremely complicated. If you're not careful, all your efforts will be wasted. Six hours is definitely not enough.".

”

"It seems that I can't have both. I can either absorb the energy to break through my cultivation base or refine it into a magic treasure. I can only choose one..

”

At this moment, there was a strong movement underground. The entire ground began to shake violently, as if there was a giant beast struggling crazily underground..

Lu Chen's heart jolted. He instantly thought of.

" It must be Chu You! She's still struggling with that Violent Shadow Soul Beast. The situation must be extremely critical..

No, I have to help her!"

"Master, teach me how to absorb the energy of this Scarlet Flame Flood Dragon!"

Su Li's expression instantly turned grave.

" Silly disciple, think it through. The skeleton of a fifth-rank demonic beast is a rare occurrence. Are you sure you don't want to use its skeleton to refine artifacts?"

" Moreover, even if you advance to Jindan Stage, you might not be a match for that Violent Shadow Soul Beast. It's an ancient fourth-tier demonic beast, and its strength is comparable to Nascent Soul Stage!"

Lu Chen gritted his teeth and said," I don't have any materials on me right now. I can't refine weapons. If Chu You dies, the Shadow Soul Beast's next target will definitely be me. Now that the Meteorite Iron Brick has fallen into the pit, I can't fly. I can't escape at all..

”

Su Li narrowed his eyes." The energy of this Crimson Flame Flood Dragon skeleton is extremely powerful. It's not easy to absorb this energy. If there's a slight mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable. Have you thought it through?"

Lu Chen nodded." It's better to fight to the death than wait for death!"

Su Li looked deeply at Lu Chen and sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, since you've already made up your mind, I'll help you with all my strength..

But remember, no matter what kind of pain you encounter during the process, you must grit your teeth and persevere. Otherwise, your life will be in danger!"

"Next, sit cross-legged and place your hand on the skeleton of the Scarlet Flame Flood Dragon..

”

Lu Chen nodded heavily and quickly sat down..

Isn't it just pain? Chu You, a woman, can endure the heart-devouring pain of Shadow Escape Technique. How can I not endure it?.

Today, I want to see how powerful you are!

Thinking of this, Lu Chen pressed his hand tightly on the skeleton of the Scarlet Flame Flood Dragon..

The moment his hand touched the skeleton, Lu Chen first felt a strong and pure demonic power pouring into his body. The next moment, the demonic power suddenly became extremely violent and rampaged wildly in his body..

"Hiss!.

.

.

”

That's pretty strong..

.

.

Every inch of his skin seemed to be burning mercilessly with raging fire. At first it was only warm, then the heat rose sharply and became unbearable pain..

Lu Chen's body involuntarily trembled violently. His face was distorted due to extreme pain. Bean-sized beads of sweat quickly rolled down his forehead like raindrops, dripping one after another, instantly wetting his clothes..

Su Li's voice rang out in Lu Chen's ears," Hold it in! Concentrate and guide this energy with your heart. Let it flow through your meridians and gather in your Dantian!".

Lu Chen gritted his teeth. His lips were bitten and blood oozed out, but he didn't notice it..

He desperately adjusted his breathing and followed Su Li's instructions, trying his best to control the violent energy that was rampaging through his body..

However, this energy was too powerful. Lu Chen felt as if his meridians were about to explode, and his body would break at any time..

" Use the Fire Spiritual Energy produced by your Fire Spiritual Root to control this demonic energy! Cycle it in your body!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen tried his best to mobilize the Fire Spiritual Root in his body. The Fire Spiritual Root was like a ball of hot flames, trying to wrap around the violent demonic power..

：.

However, this demonic power was too powerful. The moment the Fire Spirit Root came into contact with it, it was bounced back. Lu Chen felt a sweet sensation in his throat and a trace of blood oozed out of the corner of his mouth..

Lu Chen directly swallowed the blood back and activated the Fire Spirit Root again, allowing it to approach the demonic power bit by bit..

Every time he tried, he felt pain seeping into his bones. Lu Chen felt like his meridians were about to burst, and his body could be shattered by this terrifying force at any time..

He desperately adjusted his breathing and followed Su Li's instructions to do his best to control the violent energy that was rampaging through his body..

However, this energy was like a wild horse that had lost control. It was still surging and unstoppable, attacking Lu Chen's body..

Gradually, Lu Chen's consciousness began to blur, as if he would faint at any time..

Su Li's voice rang out once again.

" Foolish disciple, you are an Ancient Sacred Body. Your body is extremely strong. As long as you can withstand it and not faint, your body will recover. Grind your teeth and hold on!"

Lu Chen heard Su Li's shout. That voice seemed to come from the distant sky, ethereal and illusory..

He wanted to reply, but his throat seemed to be blocked and he could not make a sound..

At this moment, he felt as if he was in a chaotic darkness, surrounded by endless nothingness. Only the violent energy raged in his body like a vicious beast, trying to completely devour his consciousness..

As expected, his eyelids were twitching, and his vision was disappearing bit by bit, turning into darkness..

The next moment, the head involuntarily snatched to the ground.

Just as he was about to faint, Lu Chen went all out and used all his strength to slam his head on the ground..

"Bang!"

There was a huge pit on the ground. Blood flowed out of Lu Chen's head. He barely regained his consciousness for a moment, but only for a moment..

Just as he was about to faint again, a strong will to live exploded in his heart..

Lu Chen suddenly bit his own arm, his teeth deeply embedded into his flesh, and then he tore off a piece of flesh!

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and intense pain flashed across his chaotic consciousness like a bolt of lightning, causing him to instantly wake up a little..

His mouth was full of blood, and the smell of blood stimulated his nerves, forcing him to continue to activate the fire spiritual power in his body and attract demonic power..

Under Lu Chen's stubborn persistence, the originally overbearing demonic power began to show signs of retreating. It was no longer as arrogant as before, but was gradually suppressed by Lu Chen's will and slowly flowed through the meridians to his Dantian..

Lu Chen's body began to emit a faint light, which was the dawn of recovery..

He could feel his damaged meridians slowly healing and his damaged skin growing back..

However, he did not dare to relax or slack off at all. He still focused on guiding the gradually tamed energy, afraid that if he was not careful, all his efforts would be wasted..

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen finally felt that the demonic power in his body had been completely tamed. All the energy was smoothly gathered in his Dantian..

At this moment, Lu Chen's body seemed to undergo an earth-shaking upheaval!

In his Dantian, a vigorous power burst out like a new star. The light was bright and illuminated every meridian and acupoint in his body..

This force is constantly converging and compressing, forming an extremely solid core..

The surrounding spiritual power frantically poured into this core, making it more stable and powerful..

Lu Chen could clearly feel that his perception and control of spiritual energy had instantly improved qualitatively..

His meridians were widened and strengthened. The damaged parts healed instantly and became tougher. His bones were washed by spiritual power, impurities were expelled, and they became crystal clear. His muscles were filled with explosive power. Every breath could drive the fluctuation of spiritual power around him..

Gold Core, completed!

However, before he could feel the joy brought by his breakthrough, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended!

Dark clouds covered the sky, lightning and thunder. The rolling thunder seemed to come from the roar of heaven. Lightning bolts shuttled through the clouds like ferocious silver snakes..

The lightning tribulation was coming!
