When Zhang Er Gou finished cultivating the Heavenly Phoenix Body Refining technique, his entire surface was covered in bloodstains.
From a distance, he looked quite frightening.
Fortunately, he was the only one in this place, so no one witnessed Zhang Er Gou's miserable state.
After finishing his cultivation, Zhang Er Gou stood up, and a series of crackling sounds emanated from his body.
"Comfortable!" Zhang Er Gou let out a long breath.
Suddenly, he had an urge to let out a long howl.
As this thought emerged, it became uncontrollable, and Zhang Er Gou opened his mouth.
A soft whistle gradually escaped from Zhang Er Gou's lips.
If one listened closely, Zhang Er Gou's howl possessed a mysterious rhythm. Sudan Fiction Network
Gradually, Zhang Er Gou's howl began to grow louder.
Roar~~
In the end, Zhang Er Gou's howl was accompanied by a dragon's roar.
The spiritual beasts in the distance, who were moving about, were instantly terrified by the long howl and dared not move.
They prostrated themselves, looking fearfully towards the void. In just a few days, they had encountered something terrifying for the second time.
What was even more terrifying for these spiritual beasts was that they had no idea where the howl was coming from.
Zhang Er Gou was situated on a high mountain, which was also the place with the most concentrated spiritual energy in the entire small world.
Roar~~
Another howl, louder than the previous one, spread throughout the entire small world.
All the spiritual beasts in the small world trembled in fear, and those that were about to venture out immediately retreated into their burrows.
Although these spiritual beasts had rudimentary intelligence, their cultivation realms were not high, and they had not yet reached the level of intelligent spiritual beasts that could speak human language.
They only appeared sturdier than spiritual beasts of the same realm in the outside world.
Meanwhile, Zhang Er Gou had fallen into a state akin to enlightenment.
He felt connected to the entire world.
In the unseen, he even sensed a mysterious power.
To Zhang Er Gou, this power felt much more advanced than the spiritual power and physical strength he was currently cultivating.
However, he couldn't grasp it despite trying.
Zhang Er Gou became engrossed in this pursuit of that power.
He continued to let out long howls, but his eyes were closed.
In his perception, he and the entire small world had become one.
In the unseen, he had a feeling that he was about to control this world, that this world would be ruled by him.
Although he had accidentally made this small world recognize him as its master before, he could now only freely enter and exit this world.
His divine sense could penetrate the entire small world, observing everything within it.
However, he was far from being able to control this small world.
It was at this moment, after inexplicably entering this howling state, that he suddenly felt a power that could control this world.
Zhang Er Gou had a desperate yearning for this extraordinary power that surpassed the mortal realm.
As Zhang Er Gou's desire for this miraculous power grew, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to gather rapidly around him.
The concentration of spiritual energy this time even surpassed that during his cultivation of the Heaven and Earth Chaos Art and the Heavenly Phoenix Body Refining technique.
All the spiritual beasts in the small world raised their heads. Although they were trembling with fear from the howls, they couldn't help but look curiously towards the center of the converging spiritual energy.
A massive vortex of spiritual energy formed around Zhang Er Gou, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continued to pour into him without end.
Roar~~
The third howl erupted, causing leaves to scatter throughout the forest. The spiritual beasts quickly lowered their raised heads,
fearing that their existence would be discovered by the mysterious sound.
Zhang Er Gou was naturally unaware of what was happening outside. He remained immersed in the sensation of that mysterious power.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged into his body.
His Five-Colored Golden Core began to operate automatically, and the spiritual fire flew out from the sea of his core, refining the incoming spiritual energy into even purer spiritual energy, which was then transported to the meridians within Zhang Er Gou's body.
The meridians, which had become sturdier after the body refining, were once again cleansed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, becoming even more resilient.
Roar~~
Another dragon's roar echoed through the sky, and the entire world seemed to change color. Dark clouds began to gather above Zhang Er Gou's head.
It looked as if the dark clouds were about to crush the entire small world in an instant.
The spiritual beasts that were prostrating on the ground were so terrified that they dared not move. After so many years, they had never witnessed such a terrifying phenomenon.
A gust of wind blew by, and it seemed as though the dark clouds were about to condense into rain.
This world had never experienced rain before. Although the concentration of spiritual energy far surpassed that of the outside world, it was, after all, a small world.
However, as Zhang Er Gou entered that miraculous state, it was about to rain in this small world.
Drip, drip...
A few spiritual beasts looked up at the dark clouds in confusion, then looked down at the raindrops falling onto the ground.
It was their first time seeing rain.
Each spiritual beast found it very novel, and some even stuck out their tongues to catch the falling raindrops.
But soon, they realized something was wrong. The rain began to fall faster and faster.
In the blink of an eye, it went from a few drops to a torrential downpour.
Before long, the soil beneath their feet was submerged by the rain, and the entire ground became muddy and impassable.
Yet, there was no sign of the rain stopping; it only grew heavier. The spiritual beasts, who had always lived in this small world, were completely bewildered.
Zhang Er Gou stood at the center of the vortex of spiritual energy. The Heaven and Earth Chaos Art operated automatically.
He remained in that miraculous state, and even more remarkably, the area around Zhang Er Gou seemed to be naturally isolated.
Not a single drop of the rain that filled the small world fell within Zhang Er Gou's vicinity.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth continued to surge towards him desperately, and Zhang Er Gou's body accepted it all without hesitation. The spiritual fire within him was as active as a happy child.
The speed at which his Five-Colored Golden Core rotated was impossible to see with the naked eye, leaving only streaks of rotating afterimages.
In the unseen, Zhang Er Gou felt that miraculous power, but it seemed that with his current abilities, he couldn't grasp it.
A voice within him seemed to tell him, "Grow stronger. Only by becoming stronger can you possess greater power."
As if to respond to Zhang Er Gou's thoughts, his body underwent a transformation at that very moment.
*Pop~ Pop~ Pop~*
Suddenly, a few soft popping sounds emanated from Zhang Er Gou's body, like something breaking.
Following these sounds, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged into Zhang Er Gou's body at an astonishing rate.
The spiritual fire within him, which was refining the spiritual energy, also grew much larger.
As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured in, the Heaven and Earth Chaos Art operated at an even faster pace, and the Five-Colored Golden Core was shrouded in a misty haze.
Zhang Er Gou, immersed in the state of enlightenment, remained oblivious to all of this.
He was still in that miraculous and profound state, and his longing for that power grew even stronger.
