Even among supreme sects like the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, Golden Body Liquid was extraordinarily rare.
Given the Fire Nation's current resources, the Fire Emperor could not possibly have possessed such a treasure naturally.
He must have paid a steep price to acquire it.
"Your Majesty," Zhu Chen said solemnly, meeting the emperor's gaze, "rest assured.
Should I one day achieve true power, I will protect the people of the Fire Nation and ensure their eternal peace and prosperity."
"Good. With those words, I can rest easy."
The Fire Emperor nodded, a pleased smile touching his features.
He shifted tone slightly, adding a gentle reminder: "Still, do not burden yourself excessively.
Do your best, but do not force what cannot be forced.
Your current mastery of the Blood Moving Realm already surpasses that of pure-blooded divine beasts...perfection itself.
Throughout history, few have ever broken through to the absolute extreme of physical cultivation.
If it proves impossible, let nature take its course. Great achievements often come that way."
With those words, the Fire Emperor turned and departed with his retinue.
"Zhu Chen, I'll head back to the palace and wait for you! Come find me once you're done cultivating!"
Huo Ling'er stuck out her tongue playfully before skipping after her father.
"This girl..."
Zhu Chen shook his head with a fond smile.
Over the past seven years, his bond with Huo Ling'er had grown deep and profound.
And he could sense that it was no longer merely familial.
Before, his mind had been consumed solely by cultivation and the pursuit of transcendence—he had no room for romantic sentiments.
But now, with the "Many Children, Many Blessings" system guiding his path, things would have to change.
"Shi Hao, the tribulations of destiny are yours to bear. Women will only slow the blade's edge. Allow me to shoulder the weight of these seven emotions and six desires in your stead!"
Zhu Chen settled into a cross-legged position and withdrew a single drop of blood that glowed with radiant golden light.
This was none other than the Pangu Essence Blood rewarded by the system!
Pangu—the primordial creator god of myth, whose might eclipsed even the saints.
In this world, even the strongest Sacrifice Dao experts would pale in comparison.
Though it was merely a single drop of essence blood, it contained a trace of the primordial "source of power" Pangu wielded when he split chaos and forged the heavens.
If refined—used to temper bones and cleanse marrow—it would grant his body unprecedented, ultimate strength!
Without further hesitation, Zhu Chen guided the drop of Pangu Essence Blood to his brow and merged it into his body.
Boom!
In an instant, a terrifying, oppressive blood aura erupted outward with Zhu Chen at its center.
A pillar of blood-red light descended from the vault of heaven, piercing through layers of clouds with unstoppable momentum before enveloping him in a protective cocoon.
The crimson radiance began washing through his flesh, refining his bones.
Thunderous booms resounded from within his body, as though countless divine dragons roared in unison.....deafening and majestic.
Yet those outside perceived nothing unusual.
The moment the essence blood fused, Zhu Chen's form became completely isolated from the outside world.
To the hidden Fire Nation experts watching over him, he appeared merely to be sitting in quiet meditation, breathing steadily, with no anomalies whatsoever.
Moments later, the blood-red light rapidly withdrew, fully assimilating into his body.
When Zhu Chen opened his eyes once more, a thick layer of black, impure filth oozed from his pores.
At that instant, his transformation was complete.
His physique now surpassed all ancient prodigies...even the Ten Ferocious of the Immortal Ancient Era could not compare.
His potential had been amplified without limit.
More crucially, under the tempering of Pangu's essence blood, his raw physical strength had shattered all prior boundaries.
A casual swing of his arm could now unleash a force exceeding 200,000 jin.
And this was far from his limit.
His body already possessed the latent power to open the heavens themselves.
As long as he absorbed sufficient resources, his physical might could continue to grow....without ceiling or restraint.
From this day forward, the limits of his flesh no longer existed!
