In the Beast Region, on Ancient Dragon Island.
Through the spatial rift torn open by Hei Qing, a powerful expert of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, Mo Yu's vision suddenly brightened after a short moment.
What appeared before him was a lush green world and a vast expanse of mountainous terrain.
Hovering high in the air, Mo Yu curiously observed the massive island below. This was not just any ordinary landmass but a colossal floating island.
The island's surface stretched far and wide, and a faint silver, bowl-shaped barrier descended from above, encasing the entire island. Beyond this barrier, one could see the chilling black void of the endless space.
This island was actually suspended in the void!
"No wonder it's called Ancient Dragon Island," Mo Yu muttered. Despite already knowing the might of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, witnessing such a miraculous sight with his own eyes made his expression slightly solemn.
"Follow me," Hei Qing said, scanning the area below before leading the way toward a specific location on the island. Mo Yu and Qing Lin promptly followed behind.
"Young Master, the aura here is terrifying," Qing Lin murmured softly as she walked beside Mo Yu.
Mo Yu nodded slightly. The Ancient Void Dragon Clan was a force far more formidable than the Flower Sect. On this Ancient Dragon Island, there were likely no fewer than ten Dou Sheng experts in hiding—a truly fearsome number.
Following Hei Qing, the two descended toward a towering mountain at the island's center. Along the way, they encountered several patrolling figures, who paused upon seeing Hei Qing and then withdrew after casting curious glances at Mo Yu and Qing Lin.
At the mountain's summit, the trio slowly landed. The moment their feet touched the ground, a white-robed figure silently appeared before them.
Mo Yu recognized this individual—it was Zhu Li, the third elder of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, whom he had previously met.
"Mo Yu greets the Third Elder," Mo Yu said politely.
"Hehe, forgive us for urgently summoning you here, young friend Mo Yu. I hope we didn't appear too rash," Zhu Li said with a faint smile.
"You're too polite, Third Elder. Zi Yan is my friend. If she's in trouble, I naturally have to come," Mo Yu replied.
Zhu Li smiled as he stroked his snow-white beard. His calm gaze suddenly fell on Qing Lin, standing behind Mo Yu. A look of surprise flickered in his eyes as he exclaimed, "This is… the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils? And that aura—could it be the Ancient Heavenly Serpent?"
As he spoke, the astonishment on Zhu Li's face deepened. "Who would've thought that an Ancient Heavenly Serpent soul still exists in this world."
"Third Elder, what exactly happened to Zi Yan?" Mo Yu asked, his expression turning thoughtful.
Hearing this, Zhu Li shifted his attention away from Qing Lin. A trace of silence followed before he let out a soft sigh and said, "It's all because of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit."
Mo Yu's expression tightened at these words, confirming his earlier suspicion. The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was indeed not easy to absorb.
"Zi Yan possesses the royal bloodline of our Ancient Void Dragon Clan. Her father, the former emperor of our clan, mysteriously disappeared years ago. Zi Yan vanished along with him until a few years ago, when we sensed her presence in Central Plains and brought her back to the island," Zhu Li explained.
"Disappeared?" Mo Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew where Zhu Kun had gone, but he couldn't reveal it, as it would raise too many questions.
"After returning to the island, Zi Yan's attempt to absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit resulted in an unexpected situation. The fruit's energy was too immense for her body to handle, ultimately causing the energy to solidify," Zhu Li said with a sigh.
"Solidified energy?" Qing Lin asked, puzzled.
Zhu Li nodded and replied, "Come with me."
He turned and led the way toward a stone hall on the mountain. Mo Yu and the others quickly followed.
Navigating through the hall's interior, they finally reached a chamber deep within.
The hall was constructed from massive stones, and at its center stood a towering altar. At the top of the altar lay a small, motionless figure.
Mo Yu's gaze fell upon the figure, his expression changing slightly.
The figure was entirely encased in a strange, crystalline layer resembling ice. The crystal enveloped every inch of her body, inside and out.
It was as if Zi Yan had become a lifeless crystal statue!
Mo Yu soon learned why Zhu Li had summoned him. It was to refine the Dragon Phoenix Crystal Layer covering Zi Yan.
As to why Zhu Li trusted him, it was because of Zi Yan's specific instructions before she lost consciousness. After some contemplation, Zhu Li had agreed, recognizing Mo Yu's mysterious strength, which even he couldn't fully discern.
"Refining the Dragon Phoenix Crystal Layer won't be easy. It's a time-consuming process that will also drain a tremendous amount of Dou Qi," Zhu Li explained after making his request.
With a wave of his hand, a jade bottle emitting a faint white glow appeared in Zhu Li's palm. He handed it to Mo Yu, saying, "This contains five drops of Ancient Dragon Essence Blood personally refined by me. Its immense energy can instantly replenish your Dou Qi and even strengthen your physique. If you run out of Dou Qi during the refinement, take a drop."
Mo Yu raised an eyebrow as he accepted the jade bottle, sensing the overwhelming energy contained within.
He knew the value of Ancient Dragon Essence Blood. These five drops alone would cause an uproar among Dou Zun experts if they were to appear in the outside world.
"This is a significant task, so I won't make any guarantees. But since this essence blood is so precious, I'll hold onto it for now," Mo Yu said with a slight bow.
With that, his figure flickered, turning into a streak of light that hovered in the air across from Zi Yan. Crossing his legs, he began to prepare for the arduous task ahead.
Seeing Mo Yu prepare to act, Elder Zhu Li's expression gradually grew solemn, murmuring to himself, "From here on, everything depends on you."
Mo Yu sat cross-legged before Zi Yan, his gaze slightly serious as he stared at her petite figure. After taking several deep breaths to calm his emotions, he finally opened his mouth slowly.
"Boom!"
As Mo Yu's mouth opened, a pillar of lightning tinged with purple and gold, streaked with multicolored hues, burst forth. It expanded rapidly as it met the air, transforming into a colossal surge of thunder that continuously poured into the crystalline layer surrounding Zi Yan.
The appearance of this Thunder Soul immediately caused the atmosphere in the sky to turn violent. Even Hei Qing's face slightly shifted, feeling the overwhelming pressure. Remembering that Mo Yu had defeated two Tianzuns of the Hall of Souls, Hei Qing realized he likely wasn't a match for this silver-eyed youth.
The Thunder Soul roared, and under Mo Yu's nearly flawless control, it gathered together. In just moments, a massive thunder dragon took shape within the grand hall.
"Roar!"
As the thunder dragon formed, it let out an earth-shaking roar, shaking the hall to its core.
"Refine!"
The next instant, Mo Yu's hand seals changed as he let out a soft shout.
Following his command, the massive thunder dragon shot forward, charging straight toward the unconscious and slumbering Zi Yan under the watchful eyes of the surrounding crowd.
"Rumble!"
The thunder dragon coiled around her, continuously unleashing torrents of violent lightning from its massive maw. The lightning wrapped itself around Zi Yan's body, striking at the crystalline layer that encased her.
Under the assault of this terrifying lightning, the Dragon Phoenix Crystal Layer on Zi Yan's body began to emit a faint, peculiar glow. The crystalline light flickered, resembling flowing liquid, exuding an energy so intense it left onlookers uneasy.
The Thunder Soul kept pouring onto Zi Yan's body, yet the crystalline layer showed no signs of melting.
Despite this, Mo Yu remained unfazed. If this layer were so easy to dissolve, Elder Zhu Li wouldn't have sought his help in the first place.
His expression calm, Mo Yu closed his eyes slowly, and peculiar arcs of lightning faintly flickered beneath his eyelids.
"Under Thunder Soul, nothing is indestructible—not even the Dragon Phoenix Crystal Layer."
With a slight twitch of his brow, Mo Yu exhaled a wild, unruly breath.
"Condense!"
The single word, spoken with quiet determination, caused the thunder dragon to tremble violently.
Moments later, the onlookers witnessed the thunder dragon's hue shift. Its original purple and golden streaks, tinged with multicolored lightning, began to transform into a strange, pure golden shade.
"Roar!"
The now golden thunder dragon was visibly smaller, yet the energy it contained surged dramatically. The intense temperature it emitted caused even Hei Qing to show a slight change in expression.
"Sizzle!"
The pure golden lightning continuously poured out of the dragon's maw, adhering firmly to the crystalline layer on Zi Yan's body.
The moment the two energies met, bursts of sizzling sounds erupted. Under this relentless collision, the seemingly indestructible crystalline layer finally began to liquefy, releasing a drop of purple-gold liquid.
"The Dragon Phoenix Crystal Layer is melting!"
Although the drop of liquid was tiny, it didn't escape Elder Zhu Li's sharp eyes. A suppressed cheer of joy echoed as he observed this transformation.
The scene within the hall drew the attention of more and more members of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. Fully aware of the situation concerning Zi Yan, they couldn't help but feel immense relief and excitement seeing the human youth successfully refine the crystalline layer.
"Finally, some progress..." Elder Zhu Li exhaled softly, relaxing his previously clenched fists. Though this was only the first step, it proved Mo Yu's thunder truly had the power to melt the Dragon Phoenix Crystal Layer—an incredibly promising start.
As time passed, eight days went by in the blink of an eye.
Throughout this period, Mo Yu did not rest for even a moment. The terrifying endurance of his Heavenly Thunder Body was displayed to its fullest. Even members of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan found themselves in awe of his ability to sustain such intense energy consumption without pause.
However, even the formidable Heavenly Thunder Body had its limits.
By the fifteenth day, Mo Yu could no longer endure the relentless depletion. Only then did he retrieve the drop of Ancient Dragon Essence Blood provided by Elder Zhu Li and consume it.
"Boom!"
As the blood entered his body, a brilliant golden radiance erupted from Mo Yu's skin.
A tremendous surge of energy swept through his body like a storm. His previously depleted meridians were instantly replenished with a continuous flow of energy.
Moreover, amidst this energy storm, Mo Yu felt his bones, muscles, and meridians growing stronger and more resilient.
"So, this is the power contained within the Ancient Dragon Essence Blood... Truly remarkable."
Sensing the changes within his body, Mo Yu couldn't help but think of the Ban Sheng Essence Blood gifted by Sea Demon Sovereign. Both possessed effects rivaling the finest medicinal pills.
"Since that's the case... let's continue!"
With his hand clenched into a fist, Mo Yu's fatigued face lit up with a faint smile as his gaze fixed on Zi Yan.
The crystalline layer on her body had almost completely vanished.
However, this didn't signify the end. Zi Yan's body still housed a solidified crystalline layer deep within.
Only by refining those layers could she truly awaken!
As the refining continued, a month passed by as swiftly as grains of sand slipping through fingers.
During this time, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan watched with growing excitement as the crystalline layer on Zi Yan's body became thinner and thinner until it finally disappeared entirely.
This joyous progress brought a celebratory atmosphere to the Ancient Dragon Island.
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the crystalline layers within Zi Yan's body were also completely refined. When that time came, a being with the bloodline of a true ruler of the magical beast world would be reborn!
Amid this joy, Elder Zhu Li suddenly sensed something amiss. A thunderous roar rang out from the void.
"Xia Ao! How dare you intrude upon my Eastern Dragon Island!"
The roar instantly plunged the entire Eastern Dragon Island into high alert.
