Chapter 211 - Bone Changing!
The Immortal Emperor Returns
Chapter 211 Bone Changing!
Just as Chu Xun had expected, the bone changing that the Emperor Ao had mentioned was the change to the bones of Ancestral Dragon.
Chu Xun could not calm down in his heart at all.
Every part of a dragon’s body was a treasure, not to mention a part of an Ancestral Dragon.
If the bone changing succeeded, only his physical strength would probably be enough for him to defeat a group of enemies.
It was likely that the skeleton of the Ancestral Dragon of the first generation had been preserved for a million years.
“Are you sure?”
Chu Xun asked Emperor Ao and forced himself to calm down. The Ancestral Dragon Skeleton was powerful, and no one had ever tried bone changing. Once it failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
As the saying went, opportunity and danger coexisted.
“In fact, the Hong Meng Scripture was not obtained by me, but my father. He has spent his entire life studying how to cultivate Hong Meng Scripture. However, because of some innate condition, he has never succeeded and regretted it for the rest of his life.”
Perhaps, the innate condition that Emperor Ao was talking about was that only humans could cultivate Hong Meng Scripture.
“According to my father, if one wants to cultivate Hong Meng Scripture, he or she must change his bones, or he or she will not be able to withstand the impact of Hong Meng Immortal Qi.”
“But I have never heard of the bone changing technique in the three thousand years I spent in the world of cultivation,” Chu Xun said.
“It is not three thousand years, but thirty million years. In the past thirty million years, there has not been such a thing as bone changing.” Emperor Ao looked at Chu Xun and said seriously.
Chu Xun felt a chill crawling up his back. The bone changing wound be a gamble, and the bet was his own life.
“You can choose to give up. After all, no one knows whether or not you will be able to succeed,” said Emperor Ao in a deep voice.
Chu Xun clenched his fists tightly and then unclenched them as he glanced at Emperor Ao. It was hard for him to make up his mind.
He could not be careless in a matter of life and death.
But just a moment later.
“I will do it,” Chu Xun said, his tone full of firmness that only himself could understand.
Emperor Ao looked at him and said, “Are you sure?”
The corners of Chu Xun’s mouth raised slightly. He stood up, looked at the Ancestral Dragon Skeleton, and said, “Do I have another choice? Ever since I am locked by the Firmament Chain, I have no way out.”
“It will be a close shave,” Emperor Ao said in a deep voice.
Chu Xun chuckled and said, “It is close, isn’t it? I have always had good luck. The bone changing technique will be created by me.”
“I am going to create a path that no one has ever taken.” Chu Xun held his head high and said.
The nervousness in the eyes of Emperor Ao dissipated a little, but his expression was still a little strange. He was both worried and anxious.
“You also want me to choose bone changing, don’t you?” Chu Xun suddenly looked at Emperor Ao and said.
Emperor Ao avoided eye contact with Chu Xun and said in a deep voice, “I admit it, but I would like to see you succeed. If possible, I hope I can take the risk myself.”
Chu Xun glanced at him and said teasingly, “Do it in your dream! How can I give such a good opportunity to you? When I return, I will drink three jars of alcohol with you.”
“Deal!” Emperor Ao nodded firmly and said, “I will be waiting for you.”
At the same time, Emperor Ao handed the crystal to Chu Xun.
Chu Xun took the crystal and turned to the Ancestral Dragon Skeleton.
Emperor Ao watched as Chu Xun walked to the Ancestral Dragon Skeleton and covered that area with a magic signet.
Chu Xun raised his head and looked at the golden Ancestral Dragon Skeleton above his head. He was excited.
The Ancestral Dragon Skeleton was much smaller than Emperor Ao, but it was still a few meters long. Chu Xun felt dizzy after a long-time watch.
Chu Xun sat down and fell into deep thought.
No one had tried bone changing before. There was no method of bone changing and there was no experience for Chu Xun to learn.
Chu Xun was walking a road that no one had ever taken, a road that no one knew whether it would cause death or not.
In this way, Chu Xun had been sitting there for two days. In his mind, he had listed all kinds of methods, but he found that none of them was useful.
Was he going to remove his own bones and then replace them with the Ancestral Dragon’s?
Chu Xun was shocked by this crazy idea in his mind. He had heard of peeling skin and plucking muscles, but he had never heard of peeling skin and plucking bones.
Another two days had passed, but Chu Xun had not found any way out.
“Old Dragon... how did you come up with this filthy idea?” Chu Xun raised his head and looked at the Ancestral Dragon Skeleton. He wanted to cry, but no tears came. This old dragon was the one who had come up with this weird idea of bone changing.
By the fifth day, Chu Xun had listed tens of thousands of methods, but none of them worked.
Now, there was only one way, which was to take out his own bones and then replace them with Ancestral Dragon’s.
Chu Xun had made up his mind. He gritted his teeth, and his eyes became extremely firm.
He already had no way out. Either to risk his life to create a path of life, or to be overwhelmed by the Firmament Chain and then become a wreck and wait to die.
Chu Xun’s eyes were bright. At a certain moment, his eyes were even more dazzling than the golden light released by the Ancestral Dragon Skeleton.
He did not want to die like this. He wanted to fight for the last chance and rise from destruction.
Since he had decided to take the risk, Chu Xun no longer hesitated and began to set up the magic formation.
After a while, everything was ready.
“I’m sorry.” Chu Xun bent down and bowed. Then, he soared into the air and landed directly in the Ancestral Dragon skeleton.
Because it was the first try, Chu Xun wanted to start with the left hand. Chu Xun had cultivated the Azure Dragon’s Tyrannical Physique Technique and had been bathed in dragon blood, so the Ancestral Dragon Skeleton did not reject him.
Chu Xun held Ancestral Dragon’s left front claw and jumped down from mid-air.
Ancestral Dragon’s claw was about the same size as a square table and weighed more than thousands of kilograms. It was shining with golden light, as if it was made up of gold. And the pressure it exerted was terrifying.
With the Ancestral Dragon’s claw in his arms, Chu Xun threw himself directly into the magic formation.
“Nine Heaven Burning Formation! Refine it!”
Chu Xun made a magic signet with both hands and then tapped it in mid-air. Immediately, several hundred fire dragons were activated and soared into the sky. Then they swooped down and began to burn the Ancestral Dragon’s claw.
Unfortunately, after a few hours, the Ancestral Dragon Skeleton did not react at all.
But Chu Xun was covered in sweat. He had exhausted too much of his True Energy.
He had no way but to remove the magic formation.
Chu Xun held the table-sized Ancestral Dragon’s claw and felt a little headache. He had wanted to shrink it with the Nine Heavens Burning Formation, but now it seemed that it did not work at all. He could not directly replace his own bones with it, could he? Even if he succeeded in bone changing, he could not go out in the future.
“If only the claw were smaller.” Chu Xun thought it in his mind. Unexpectedly, the Ancestral Dragon’s claw suddenly shrunk and it was only half of its original size.
Chu Xun’s eyes widened and his heart beat quickly. “How could it be? Could it be that the Ancestral Dragon Skeleton has the ability to change on its own?”
He put his hand on Ancestral Dragon’s claw again and said in his mind, “Shrink.”
Swoosh!
The Ancestral Dragon’s claw shrunk by half again.
“Shrink, shrink again...”
As Chu Xun said silently in his mind, Ancestral Dragon’s claw became as big as a man’s palm.
“Largen, largen...” Chu Xun muttered to himself. Unfortunately, the Ancestral Dragon’s claw did not change this time.
It seems that it could only shrink and could not grow bigger. Chu Xun could not help feeling a little disappointed.
The dragon claws only had four fingers. So Chu Xun rose high into the air and took away Ancestral Dragon’s other claws from its abdomen.
The Ancestral Dragon was a five-clawed golden dragon. So it had 20 fingers in total, as many as a person’s fingers.
Chu Xun entered the magic formation that had been set up a long time ago.
Everything was ready.
Chu Xun’s expression was rarely serious. Bone changing was a way that no one had ever tried before. No one could predict how dangerous it was, and it was unknown whether he would die or rise again.
Puff!
Blood splashed everywhere. The skin of Chu Xun’s five fingers had been split, revealing the bones and the blood-red tendons inside.
Sweat broke out on Chu Xun’s forehead, and his eyes grew bloodshot. He was in so much pain that his pupils dilated and his whole body was trembling violently.
He cut the skin and flesh of the five fingers on his left hand. The ten fingers were closely connected to one’s heart, so Chu Xun felt extremely painful.
The next step was to take out the bones of his five fingers.
Chu Xun’s right hand was trembling, but his gaze was firm. He peeled off the skin and flesh of his left hand, pinched his thumb bone, and pulled it out.
“Ah... ”
Chu Xun let out a low growl. His handsome face contorted in pain and blue veins stood out on his forehead, temples, and neck. His entire body was drenched in sweat, as if he had been fished out from a river.
Swoosh!
“Ah...” Chu Xun could not help gritting his teeth and howling. He was trembling violently, and his eyes were bloodshot.
The bone of his thumb had been pulled out by himself.
