Xu Hao reached out and grabbed Elder Chen's arm and, following the "Life Determination" technique for channeling internal energy, he used "Origin Energy" to flow from his arm into Elder Chen's body.
The "Origin Energy" that surged from Xu Hao's body seemed intrinsically imbued with an ancient air, completely overpowering the "Immortal Bone's" "Origin Energy." It forced the energy from the "Immortal Bone" to gather toward Elder Chen's arm step by step. The "Immortal Bone" wanted to struggle one last time, but it was to no avail.
All the power from the "Immortal Bone" inside Elder Chen was driven back, and Xu Hao turned to Elder Chen and said, "Elder Chen, I am going to forcefully extract this 'Immortal Bone'; it might hurt a bit. Can you bear it?"
Elder Chen smiled indifferently, "Back in my days on the battlefield, when bullets pierced my chest, I didn't even grunt. Why would I fear this little pain? But Little Brother Xu, are you sure you can control this 'Immortal Bone'? Once it detaches from me and falls into your hands, it will surely affect you. If you don't manage it well, it could even consume your 'Life Force'!"
"Don't worry, I'm confident!" Xu Hao said as he controlled the fluctuations of the "Origin Energy," rushing toward the connection between the "Immortal Bone" and Elder Chen's bones. Layer by layer, he severed the connection between Elder Chen and the "Immortal Bone"... The entire process was incredibly draining, and Xu Hao's clothes were soaked with sweat. Catch the formatted version at *.
But after ten minutes, the "Immortal Bone" was successfully peeled away.
Xu Hao placed the "Immortal Bone" in a dish nearby and continued to feed his "Life Origin Energy" into it, aiding the healing of Elder Chen's injured meridians and restoring his original cultivation level...
Stitching up the wound, bandaging... everything was done, half an hour had passed!
Only then did Xu Hao turn to look at the "Immortal Bone" in the dish beside him. After separating from Elder Chen's body, the decaying flesh around it had also fallen off, revealing a translucent bone the size of a thumb in the middle.
The bone looked like a joint of a finger, emitting a rich "Origin Energy" glow.
Xu Hao reached out and took the "Immortal Bone" into his hand, feeling a sense of kinship. A weak emotional fluctuation, seemingly one of intense fear and anger, echoed in his mind.
But this sentiment flickered in Xu Hao's mind for only a moment. the next second, the "Origin Energy" in his body surged violently, and the "Dragon Pattern" shone brightly. A powerful "Origin Energy" surged through Xu Hao's arm, smashing into the "Immortal Bone" and obliterating any remaining emotional fluctuations.
A cluster of "Life Origin Energy" enveloped the "Immortal Bone," and then, to the shock of both Elder Chen and Xu Hao, the piece of "Immortal Bone" in Xu Hao's hand melted instantly, turning into a liquid, and then silently merged into the palm of his hand, leaving no trace behind.
Elder Chen sat up in astonishment, "Little Brother Xu... this..."
At that moment, Xu Hao was somewhat baffled, but after feeling it out, he discovered that the vanished "Immortal Bone" hadn't disappeared at all; it had come to rest atop his right middle finger. The "Immortal Bone" seemed to have fully integrated with his finger. While Xu Hao felt no change in his finger, he could clearly sense the strong "Origin Energy" fluctuations.
Being already bolstered by the power of the "Dragon Pattern," Xu Hao now felt his strength soar to a new immense level after merging with the "Immortal Bone"... Something in his dantian shattered, and according to Wang Zhong's words, Xu Hao's power should have now reached the "Peak of Mastery" in "Godly Palm Control"...
If it weren't for Xu Hao's body's limited capacity for "Origin Energy," he could have broken through to the Grandmaster Realm! But now, for Xu Hao, advancing to a Grandmaster was merely a matter of time, possibly tomorrow, or perhaps the day after!
Xu Hao's fluctuation of "Origin Energy" was naturally sensed by Elder Chen. A "Grandmaster Expert" in his twenties was an absolute freak of nature across the whole of Huaya.
Elder Chen looked at Xu Hao with a complicated gaze, "Truly, 'the new waves of the Yangtze River push forward the old waves; the old waves die on the beach.' We are old now, it's the world of you young people!"
