73: Aurora Dragon, [Aurora Body] [Sun Chaser]

Chapter 73: Aurora Dragon, [Aurora Physique], [Sun Chasing Array]

As the pink-white Dragon Beast let out a Dragon's roar, its scales suddenly flared open. Its scales, like crystal and glass, began to absorb the omnipresent light between heaven and earth after they opened.

Multicolored light shone, covering the pink-white Dragon Beast's body, forming a suit of light armor. This light armor not only possessed powerful offense but also had a characteristic of devouring light energy and heat energy.

As soon as the blood-gold flame Sword Qi touched this light armor, it was devoured of its fire and heat—becoming dim, starting to shrink—and even completely consumed by the light armor.

And after devouring the blood-gold Sword Qi, this light armor became even more condensed, more solid, and more radiant.

Seeing this scene, Bai Xuan's pupils contracted.

“This pink-white Dragon Beast seems even more powerful than Shenyu Immortal’s statue.”

“Moreover, its ability counters my strongest Move, the blood-gold flame Sword Qi.”

“However…”

“It cannot fly, and its speed is not as good as mine.”

“A target is just a target after all.”

In the next instant, the pink-white Dragon Beast opened its Dragon mouth, and multicolored light converged within it.

As this scene entered his eyes, Bai Xuan knew that this pink-white Dragon Beast possessed a long-range attack capability similar to spitting a laser cannon.

But this did not stop Bai Xuan from flapping his wings and soaring into the sky.

While soaring into the sky, Bai Xuan retracted the Blood Serpent Flame and the Metal Fire Spiritual Energy, and also put away his divine feather sword.

He pulled out the Wind Shadow Bamboo Bow, drew the string, inputting energy while controlling the Metal Element Spirit Energy.

From the bamboo bow body grew Wind Shadow Bamboo Arrows.

The omnipresent wind between heaven and earth wrapped around the Wind Shadow Bamboo Arrows, granting them faster speed and stronger lethality.

The Metal Element Spirit Energy transformed into golden radiance, adhering to the Wind Shadow Bamboo Arrows, making them sharper, more acute, and possessing stronger penetration.

Bamboo, Wind, Metal!

The three powers intertwined, transforming into arrows. As Bai Xuan aimed and shot, they tore through the airflow, shattered the sound barrier, stirred up gales, and accurately shot towards the pink-white Dragon Beast.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!”

Just as Bai Xuan shot out ten arrows in one go, the pink-white Dragon Beast also spewed out a multicolored laser cannon.

“Chirp!!!”

Bai Xuan flew at extreme speed, nimbly dodging the pink-white Dragon Beast’s laser cannon attacks in the sky.

While dodging, he continued to draw his bowstring.

Of the ten arrows, three were shattered by the laser cannon, and seven hit the light armor.

Although these seven arrows hit the light armor and caused damage to it.

However, the omnipresent light between heaven and earth was rapidly repairing the light armor.

Watching all this, Bai Xuan’s eyes also became deep.

“This pink-white Dragon Beast has strong defense and terrifying attacks. It’s hard to kill.”

“However, my speed is faster than its, which naturally puts me in an invincible position.”

“If ten arrows can’t kill it, then I’ll use a hundred arrows, a thousand arrows!”

“As long as my destruction speed is faster than the light armor’s recovery speed, I can shoot through this turtle shell.”

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!”

Bai Xuan sped up his arrow shooting.

Each shot could release ten arrows.

Within one second, Bai Xuan could shoot five times.

That means fifty arrows per second.

At such a terrifying speed, even a thousand arrows could be shot in twenty seconds.

“Crack—crack—twenty seconds, fleeting in an instant.”

As dense arrows tore through the light armor.

The pink-white Dragon Beast’s Bloodthirst and greedy eyes also showed a hint of fear.

It turned and ran, its heavy footsteps causing the ground to shake, “Boom!!! Boom!!!”

Watching the pink-white Dragon Beast about to dive into the lava cave, Bai Xuan did not hesitate, directly swooping down and accelerating to pursue.

However, just as Bai Xuan caught up with the pink-white Dragon Beast.

The pink-white Dragon Beast’s expression suddenly changed, its eyes becoming fierce and brutal.

It turned its head and opened its mouth, wanting to give Bai Xuan a counterattack, wanting to swallow Bai Xuan whole.

Only,

Bai Xuan was also waiting for this moment.

The Wind Shadow Bamboo Bow disappeared from his hand, and the divine feather sword suddenly appeared.

The blood-colored Blood Serpent Flame and the golden Wind Fire then rose, Fusing and intertwining—transforming into blood-gold flame, covering the divine feather sword.

“Buzz!!!”

A single Sword Qi slashed out, tearing through the air!

“Boom!!! Boom!!!”

Deafening sonic booms sounded, and hurricanes, carrying heat waves, surged into the pink-white Dragon Beast’s mouth.

“Boom!”

The terrifying explosion directly shattered the pink-white Dragon Beast’s body, turning it into large and small pieces of flesh.

The blood-gold flames burned fiercely, but the pink-white Dragon Beast was not an ordinary monster. Its body had strong fire resistance, and the blood-gold flame could not burn its corpse to ashes.

And this was a good thing for Bai Xuan, because Bai Xuan could collect the pink-white Dragon Beast’s extraordinary blood.

Of course,

Extraordinary blood was important.

But even more important was the purple light orb.

After collecting the extraordinary blood, Bai Xuan, with an expectant heart, reached for the purple light orb.

“Obtained skill “Aurora Physique”.”

“Skill: Aurora Physique LV1 (0/100)”

“Rank: First-Order”

“Quality: Purple”

“Effect: Skin, flesh, blood, bones, five internal organs, derive divine wonders, absorb the light of heaven and earth, forge the Aurora Physique, control Aurora Spiritual Energy.”

“Specifics: After absorbing enough light energy, Strength, Agility, Physique, Spirit increase by 1000%. Skin hardness, muscle hardness, tendon and bone hardness increase by 1000%. Aurora Spiritual Energy can be stored within the skin, flesh, blood, and bones.”

“Current growth progress: 0%.”

After obtaining the Aurora Physique, Bai Xuan only felt a vast and boundless extraordinary energy surge into his skin, flesh, blood, bones, and five internal organs.

An unprecedented, complex, yet precise human body modification surgery began.

As the human body modification surgery completed, endless light from heaven and earth began to surge into the human body, into the skin, flesh, blood, bones, and five internal organs, starting a further modification of the human body, making the human body transform into the Aurora Physique.

“Growth progress + 0.001%”, “Growth progress + 0.001%”, “Growth progress + 0.001%”

“This skill can make me stronger by absorbing light energy.”

“I became Superman?!”

“When this skill reaches max level and truly forges the Aurora Physique, how powerful will I be then?”

“Will I be comparable to Superman? Fearless of annihilation bombs? Become a god on earth?”

“This is only First-Order—it won’t be that fast—”

Bai Xuan was expectant and excited.

He glanced at the [Character] page.

The [First-Order Skill Points] he had gained these past few days Bai Xuan hadn’t used yet; he had originally planned to use them to max out [Melt Poison Gallbladder].

But now that he had the Aurora Physique, he naturally had to prioritize maxing out the Aurora Physique.

Without any hesitation, he directly added points to upgrade!

“First-Order Skill Points - 1”

“Proficiency + 100”

“Aurora Physique LV1 → LV2”

“The effect of skill “Aurora Physique” has been comprehensively improved, and the player can choose one of the following three enhancement options:”

“Light Devourer: “Aurora Physique” can devour more light energy at a faster speed, forging “Aurora Physique” in a shorter time. The ability to devour light energy increases by 100%.”

“Aurora: “Aurora Physique” can produce higher quality “Aurora Spiritual Energy” and possesses stronger control over “Aurora Spiritual Energy”. The quality and quantity of “Aurora Spiritual Energy” increase by 50%, and control over “Aurora Spiritual Energy” increases by 50%.”

“Sun Chaser: “Aurora Physique” will possess a stronger ability to devour heat energy. After devouring enough light energy and heat energy, “Aurora Physique” will become stronger, “Aurora Spiritual Energy” will possess the characteristic of “Sun”, “Aurora Physique” will Dominator infinite light and immeasurable heat, gaining the ability to devour heat energy.”

“These three upgrade enhancements—”

These three upgrade enhancements looked powerful.

However, in Bai Xuan's opinion, the most powerful and with the highest potential was naturally [Sun Chaser].

No need to hesitate.

Directly choose [Sun Chaser].

In the next instant, the human body changed again—flesh, bones, and internal organs were reformed. The omnipresent light and heat between heaven and earth continuously poured into the human body—body temperature rapidly rose, but Bai Xuan only felt incredibly warm and comfortable.

“Growth progress + 0.002%”, “Growth progress + 0.002%”, “Growth progress + 0.002%”

The growth rate accelerated.

But it's still not enough! It can be faster!

“First-Order Skill Points - 2”

“Proficiency + 200”

“Aurora Physique LV2 → LV3”

“First-Order Skill Points - 3”

“Proficiency + 300”

“Aurora Physique LV3 → LV4”

After choosing [Sun Chaser] eight times, the Aurora Physique finally reached max level [Aurora Physique LV9 → LV10].

“Skill “Aurora Physique” has been upgraded to LV10, reaching max level. Its effects have been comprehensively improved, and the player can choose one of the following three max-level enhancement options:”

“Light-Devouring Dominator: “Aurora Physique” can devour more light energy at a faster speed, forging “Aurora Physique” in a shorter time, and after forging “Aurora Physique”, it can transform the human body, construct a brand new life System, give birth to a “Light-Devouring Array”, deriving infinite divine wonders and marvelous uses. The ability to devour light energy increases by 500%.”

“Aurora Dominator: “Aurora Physique” can produce higher quality “Aurora Spiritual Energy” and possesses stronger control over “Aurora Spiritual Energy”, and after forging “Aurora Physique”, it can transform the human body, construct a brand new life System, give birth to an “Aurora Array”, deriving infinite divine wonders and marvelous uses. The quality and quantity of “Aurora Spiritual Energy” increase by 250%, and control over “Aurora Spiritual Energy” increases by 250%.”

“Sun Chasing Dominator: “Aurora Physique” will possess a stronger ability to devour heat energy. After devouring enough light energy and heat energy, “Aurora Physique” will become stronger, “Aurora Spiritual Energy” will possess the characteristic of “Sun”, “Aurora Physique” will Dominator infinite light and immeasurable heat, and after forging “Aurora Physique”, it can transform the human body, construct a brand new life System, give birth to a “Sun Chasing Array”, deriving infinite divine wonders and marvelous uses. The ability to devour light energy and heat energy increases by 250%.”

One must see a path through to the end.

Directly choose [Sun Chasing Dominator]!

“Growth progress + 0.02%”, “Growth progress + 0.02%”, “Growth progress + 0.02%”

More light, more heat, continuously surged into the human body, transforming it, forging the Aurora Physique.

This even caused the area within one meter around Bai Xuan to become darker and colder.

“The Aurora Physique is too strong, much stronger than the Five Elements Spirit Body.”

“Is this the difference between white quality and purple quality?”

“It's a world of difference.”

“Even now, before I have fully forged the Aurora Physique and given birth to the Sun Chasing Array, I can still wield a bit of Aurora Spiritual Energy.”

“The process of wielding Aurora Spiritual Energy is the same as wielding Five Elements Spiritual Energy.”

“However, the Five Elements Spirit Body is located within the five internal organs, while the Aurora Spiritual Energy is located within the skin, flesh, blood, bones, five internal organs, and four limbs—every corner of the human body.”

With just a thought, his whole body glowed with pure white light.

“Aurora Spiritual Energy is a higher quality Spiritual Energy than Five Elements Spiritual Energy—and its inherent characteristics seem to be able to directly integrate with, no, assimilate Five Elements Spiritual Energy, thereby transforming into Five Elements Light.”

“And since I chose [Sun Chaser] for the upgrade and max-level enhancement, I seem to be able to do this…”

The Blood Serpent Flame and the Golden Wind Fire suddenly rose from Bai Xuan's body, transforming into a blood-gold flame.

Then, Aurora Spiritual Energy began to shine—directly absorbing the Blood Serpent Flame and the Golden Wind Fire, finally transforming into a blood-gold radiance that covered Bai Xuan's body surface.

“It really works.”

“Now, this [Blood-Gold Aurora] is the strongest power I possess.”

“Applied to the divine feather sword, it can unleash [Blood-Gold Aurora Sword Qi]. Applied to the Wind Shadow Bamboo Bow, it can naturally enhance the lethality of the Wind Shadow Bamboo Arrows.”

“Strong! This Aurora Physique is truly too strong!”

“I wonder what kind of powerful divine wonders and marvelous uses will be derived once the Aurora Physique’s growth reaches one hundred percent, completely forging the Aurora Physique and giving birth to the Sun Chasing Array.”

“I'm so excited, truly too excited.”

“And now I'm also very curious, what kind of changes will occur when I collect the First-Order skills that strengthen the six internal organs, Fuse them with the Five Elements Spirit Body, and the Five Elements Spirit Body upgrades to purple quality?”

“How powerful a Physique will be born when the future upgraded purple quality Five Elements Spirit Body Fuses with the Aurora Physique?”

“The future is promising.”

The future is promising, but the future is still far away.

Bai Xuan’s mind whirred, and he directly calculated that it would take approximately one month for the Aurora Physique to reach one hundred percent growth.

As for now, he would naturally continue hunting.

And test the power of the Blood-Gold Aurora.

“Wait a moment.”

“Perhaps I can use the Blood-Gold Aurora to condense wings.”

“This should allow my flying speed to reach an even higher level, right?”

With a thought, Bai Xuan immediately tried.

As the Blood-Gold Aurora condensed into substance on his back, combined with Turn False into Truth, it directly formed a pair of [Blood-Gold Light Wings].

Dreamlike, sacred, bloody, magnificent—contradictory yet twisted—Bai Xuan felt this perfectly matched his aesthetic.

With a flap of his wings, his speed increased by 47.62% compared to before.

“Swoosh!!!”

A blood-gold flash streaked across the sky.
