Chapter 434: Controlled Dan!

　　Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

　　Dragon! This was a creature that’d appeared in 5,000 over years of China’s history and legends’ records. The Chinese people even called themselves the descendant of dragons.

　　As the saying went, there was no wind from an empty hole. It was hard to imagine how humans were able to conceptualize such a perfect creature like a dragon just with their imagination without having ever seen one.

　　Although the dragon in this space was not a pure-blooded one, any creature that could have the name dragon would not be weak!

　　Bei Feng initially intended to use the Eagle as his second Dharma manifestation. It was a good match with his Giant Bear Dharma manifestation, and would definitely improve his strength greatly when used with the Form and Will Fist!

　　But right now, it was the dragon beast that was forming behind him! The most important resource in training the Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique was the blood essence of different Peak Grade Demonic Beasts, using it to form the corresponding Dharma manifestation.

　　Bei Feng did not have the mind to mind nor the strength to do anything about it. He hadn’t expected that absorbing this purple particle would end up forming a Dragon Dharma manifestation.

　　But at this moment, Bei Feng was also extremely excited. This was a kind of chance occurrence; as for the Eagle manifestation, it was the same for him to form it after he reached the third level of the Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique as forming it now.

　　Large amounts of blood and Qi surged in Bei Feng’s body, rapidly healing his injuries.

　　At this time, Bei Feng’s absorption of the purple energy was in its final phase. There was only a bit of purple blood remaining. The red particles in the outside world had also grown much thinner.

　　“Success or defeat all depends on this one strike!”

　　Bei Feng had truly reached the peak of his current realm. The amount of energy in his body was indescribably boundless and stuffed, but there were no outlets to release them. Only by breaking through to the next realm would the energy in his body settle down!

　　Forcefully bearing with the increasingly stuffy pressure, Bei Feng calmed his breath and began to recover his mental power. As his time was limited, he only managed to recover about a third of it.

　　But although it was not perfect, he had no choice but to make a gamble with his life at this point. Otherwise, if he lost control over the energy in his body, if it was light, he might become a cripple. If it was heavy, he would implode and die!

　　Bei Feng directed all the blood and Qi to gather near his heart. There were no barriers there now, and a huge empty aperture space appeared before his eyes.

　　All the energy in his body began to pour into the aperture, directly filling it up!

　　As the name implied, the Controlled Dan realm for Qi refining cultivators was to form an inner dan similar to a Demonic Beast’s using their zhenqi.

　　As for body cultivators, this was the same as well. They needed to condense the strength’s source, forming their blood and Qi into an energy core!

　　After successfully condensing the energy dan, Bei Feng would no longer die even if his heart was pierced. As long as the energy dan was not destroyed, the source of strength could completely replace the functions of the heart.

　　Of course, that did not mean that he would be unkillable. A Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert was still a human cultivator at the end of the day. There were too many fatal spots on their body.

　　For example, if his heart was completely crushed, he would still die!

　　The previous scenario was only if it was a small sword or similar weapons with lower killing power that pierced the heart that wouldn’t kill him.

　　The aperture, on the other hand, was like a secret space. The space inside could be infinite, but from the outside, the space it took up might not even be as large as a sesame seed.

　　Inside the spacious aperture, a huge amount of blood and Qi energy filled up the entire space. From the outside, Bei Feng’s aura suddenly seemed to dip drastically. Apart from the faint light shining from his chest, the other parts of his body seemed like a withered corpse.

　　Right now, if someone slashed open his skin, they would discover that not a single drop of blood would come out!

　　Bei Feng’s bodily functions had all stopped right now. If he remained in this state for too long without breaking through, his entire body would fail. That was because all the blood had been drawn to his heart.

　　With Bei Feng’s strength, he could forcefully endure in this state for a short period. But if too much time passed, he would simply drop dead.

　　Even if he managed to break through by luck, he could become brain-dead, or leave behind incurable injuries!

　　Bei Feng suddenly felt a great sense of urgency. At this moment, his mental power showed its usefulness. It was like a stirring needle, sloshing around inside the spacious aperture.

　　Along with the stirring motion of his mental power, the huge amount of blood and Qi energy began to rotate!

　　Slowly, a tiny swirl appeared, becoming bigger and bigger! Finally, a huge whirlpool of blood and Qi was stirred up in the aperture!

　　An empty space appeared in the heart of the whirlpool, like the eye of a tornado. There was no blood and Qi energy in that area at all!

　　When the whirlpool reached a certain speed, a tiny black dot the size of a sesame seed appeared in the middle of the whirlpool!

　　It was like space had collapsed, forming a black hole. The moment it appeared, a powerful suction force surged out of it!

　　Bei Feng’s incomparably pure blood and Qi energy began to pour into the tiny black hole. As the large amounts of blood and Qi congregated, a small golden-red dan about the size of a needle’s point began to take shape!

　　Although it was very small, the quality of energy contained within it was even higher than the vast sea of swirling blood and Qi roaring outside it!

　　It was like a process of eliminating the impure and retaining the pure—Bei Feng’s blood and Qi was constantly being purified, leaving behind the purest essence!

　　Slowly, the golden-red dan grew bigger and bigger, and the blood and Qi swirling around outside grew much less.

　　Time passed, and the dan was already the size of a chicken’s egg. Only now did it look like a proper inner dan.

　　Only a third of the dan was golden, while the remaining two-thirds were blood-red.

　　But this one-third of the golden dan was very obviously much higher in quality than the blood-red-colored part!

　　Finally, the golden-red dan was formed. It was about 10 meters wide, and emanated a heavy aura!

　　As compared to the vast ocean of blood and Qi energy that flooded the entire aperture before, this 10 meter wide energy dan seemed extremely tiny and not worth a mention. However, the energy it contained was even stronger than the former! This was a transformation in quality! An upgrade in life form!

　　It was the difference between a lamb and a tiger. The difference in the levels of life form was enough for the lamb to be scared out of its wits whenever it met the tiger. It wouldn’t even have the thoughts to gather into a large group to trample the tiger to death.

　　But this was not the end! The space around the 10 meter wide golden-red dan suddenly fell apart, forming another black hole which instantly swallowed the energy dan.

　　“Ka-cha!”

　　A cracking sound rang out, followed by the sounds of reformation. This process went on for nine more times, finally leaving only a six meter wide dan. Only now was the Controlled Dan successfully formed!

　　Most people, regardless of Qi refiners or body cultivators, would only form a small dan about one meter in size. However, Bei Feng’s dan was six times that of others in size!

　　This meant that the strength and quantity of Bei Feng’s blood and Qi was also six times that of others. This was an extremely terrifying concept. If they were only comparing cultivation, and did not rely on martial techniques or weapons, the energy in Bei Feng’s body was comparable to a normal peak level Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert!

　　Bei Feng had laid out an extremely solid foundation in the Xiantian stage, which was why he could have such terrifying strength!

　　The reason why entering the Controlled Dan realm was such a difficult matter was because it was difficult to build up a solid enough foundation. Most people would fail at the very step of revolving the Qi to form a dan!

　　And even if they succeeded at the first step, there were still nine more rounds of refinement!

　　Only by breaking and reforming nine times could the dan really take shape. Just failing a single time would mean that the dan had failed to form. The huge amounts of energy exploding from a failed dan formation attempt would instantly blow the cultivator’s body to shreds. From this point, it was exactly like using the body as a furnace, concocting a golden dan!
