Chapter 304 Absorbing the Dragon’s Origin!

“In any case, the master ultimately saved the lives of many warriors from our Long family… I wonder if the master would be willing to visit our Long family…” Long Aozhi said, gasping for breath.

“You should go treat your wounds first,” Fang Yu said. “I have other things to do and don’t have time to visit your family.”

“Alright. If the master can find some free time in the future, please do come visit our Long family.” Long Aozhi said.

Long Qianqian glanced at Fang Yu, then turned to leave while supporting Long Aozhi.

Fang Yu watched Long Aozhi’s departing figure with narrowed eyes.

He had taken the Dragon’s Origin from the seabed, which would likely be a huge loss for the Long family.

However, the Long family members didn’t seem to have noticed this yet.

…

Fang Yu and his group boarded the last batch of ships and returned to the land of Jiufeng Island.

“How many more days do you want to stay on Jiufeng Island?” Fang Yu asked Li Bingyan.

Li Bingyan’s face was still pale, obviously not having recovered yet.

“Uh… it’s up to those two, I don’t mind.”

Li Bingyan looked toward Fat Liu and Yu Yueyue.

These two didn’t look too well either.

“Since you’ve already seen the Dragon Breath Festival, you three should head back this afternoon,” Fang Yu said after thinking for a moment.

“What about you, boss?” Li Bingyan asked.

“I still have some business to attend to, so I need to stay here for a few days,” Fang Yu said.

“…Alright then, if you two have no objections, let’s go back this afternoon?” Li Bingyan said.

After experiencing the morning’s events, Fat Liu and Yu Yueyue had lost interest in continuing their trip, and both nodded in agreement.

“Brother Fang Yu… please be careful,” Yu Yueyue reminded him softly, though she didn’t know what Fang Yu planned to do on Jiufeng Island.

“I will,” Fang Yu said.

…

After parting with Li Bingyan’s group, Fang Yu headed alone toward the northern part of Jiufeng Island.

In the ocean at the northernmost part of Jiufeng Island, there were many small islands similar to the Long family’s island.

Fang Yu needed to find a small island where no one could disturb him to refine and absorb the Dragon’s Origin.

Soon, Fang Yu found a suitable small island.

This island was at least a hundred kilometers away from the mainland of Jiufeng Island.

The island was very small, only about a thousand square meters in area.

Fang Yu landed on this small island and took out the Dragon’s Origin from his storage bag.

Holding the Origin in his hand, Fang Yu could feel the vast sacred energy inside.

Looking intently into the Origin, he could see the outline of an enormous creature.

“Is this truly the essence of a dragon?” Fang Yu’s eyes showed some shock.

Previously, his knowledge of dragons was limited to ancient books and legends, but now, Fang Yu was actually seeing the outline of a dragon.

It did indeed resemble the body shape described in ancient books.

But what puzzled Fang Yu was where this Origin power came from and when it appeared. Why was it bound beneath the deep sea, supplying a martial arts family?

Could it be that the ancestors of the Long family had actually slain a dragon?

However, no matter how Fang Yu thought about it, it didn’t seem reasonable.

If the Long family’s ancestor was a dragon slayer, then the Long family’s history would be at least ten thousand years old.

Because according to ancient books, the last dragon appeared about ten thousand years ago.

If the Long family’s history was truly that long, their current status seemed too low.

Just the first martial arts family on Jiufeng Island?

With their strongest family member only at the Martial Venerable level?

As descendants of dragon slayers, weren’t they doing too poorly?

“The one who first obtained this Origin was probably not the Long family’s ancestor,” Fang Yu concluded after some thought.

This point could be verified.

He just needed to visit the Long family later and probe for information.

Fang Yu held the Dragon’s Origin in his hand, preparing to refine it.

He wasn’t confident, as this was his first time refining a Dragon’s Origin.

What method should he use to refine it? The same as refining spirit veins? Or use the Spirit Devouring Technique?

Many options came to Fang Yu’s mind, but in the end, he decided to use the simplest and most direct method.

Directly absorb the Origin into his body and refine it through his meridians!

With this thought, Fang Yu’s eyes became determined, and he immediately began to absorb.

He placed his hands above the Origin, with his palms close to the outer shell of the Origin.

Then, he began to absorb!

A pure Origin power entered his meridians through his palms!

Once it entered the meridians, this Origin power became violent!

It was completely out of control, wildly rushing around, causing Fang Yu’s meridians to swell.

This caused extreme pain.

Fang Yu gritted his teeth and continued to absorb.

A large amount of Origin power squeezed into Fang Yu’s meridians, slowly surging forward…

It was wildly rushing around almost every moment, seemingly trying to burst through Fang Yu’s meridians to escape.

This energy was the strongest Fang Yu had absorbed in thousands of years, even more difficult to bear than the high-intensity spiritual energy in spirit veins!

High-intensity spiritual energy was difficult to absorb because of its density, making the refinement process especially long.

But the dragon’s Origin power he was absorbing now seemed to have its own consciousness, wanting to leave the meridians!

This caused Fang Yu extreme pain, as the impact force of this energy was truly astonishing.

If Fang Yu hadn’t tempered his body a hundred times, his meridians would have ruptured, leading to death.

To reduce the suffering, better short pain than long pain!

Fang Yu gritted his teeth and increased his absorption speed to the extreme.

Since these energies were rushing around wildly and refusing to flow through the meridians, he would use the energy absorbed later to forcefully push the energy in front!

Fang Yu increased his absorption speed to the limit.

As a result, the flow speed of the Origin power in the meridians did increase significantly.

But the pain Fang Yu endured also increased more than twofold!

Fang Yu let out a muffled groan, with sweat breaking out on his forehead.

At this rate of absorption, gradually, the golden light inside the Dragon’s Origin in his hand became dimmer and dimmer.

Obviously, the Origin power would soon be completely absorbed by Fang Yu.

Meanwhile, the first batch of Origin power absorbed into Fang Yu’s body had already traveled through all his meridians and entered his dantian.

A burning sensation immediately appeared in the dantian.

As the Origin power slowly poured into the dantian, the burning sensation grew stronger.

It slowly spread, from the dantian to the abdomen, then to the upper body and lower body!

Soon, Fang Yu felt his entire body burning.

Every inch of skin, every blood vessel, and even every cell was burning, causing unbearable pain!

This feeling was familiar to Fang Yu.

It was similar to each of his previous body temperings!

But this time, the pain was even more intense!

Even his soul was experiencing waves of pain!

“Ah…”

Fang Yu clenched his teeth, balled his fists, with veins bulging all over his body.

He had to endure until the Dragon’s Origin was completely absorbed into his body!

“Boom!”

Moments later, an extremely powerful energy burst from Fang Yu’s body.

With him at the center, the ground around completely collapsed!

And the ocean surrounding the island splashed up in water columns!

“Boom!”

Wave after wave of terrifying energy ripples spread outward.

“Ah…”

A roar escaped from Fang Yu’s throat as the pain reached its peak.

The bones beneath his skin seemed to be vibrating, emitting waves of golden light.

At the same time, golden patterns appeared on Fang Yu’s face, one after another, covering his cheeks.

“Wuuu…”

A long and deep dragon’s roar came from within Fang Yu’s body!

A dragon-shaped outline glowing with golden light flew out from Fang Yu’s body and began flying around him.

Fang Yu felt that his meridians and dantian were on the verge of collapse.

Just a bit more!

If even a bit more energy flowed into his meridians or dantian, Fang Yu would not be able to endure!

But just as he was about to reach his limit, the pain suddenly disappeared.

His swollen meridians and dantian returned to normal.

Fang Yu opened his eyes.

“Zing!”

His pupils emitted a dazzling golden light!

“Bang!”

The sea in front of him erupted in huge waves.

Fang Yu let out a long breath.

He had finally recovered.

Then, he saw the golden dragon circling around him.

What was this?

Fang Yu was stunned.

At this moment, the golden dragon suddenly stopped circling and flew toward Fang Yu’s body, instantly disappearing into him.

Then, Fang Yu felt a warmth in his dantian.

Looking inward, he saw that the golden dragon was now circling around his dantian.

“This is…”
