Peerless War God

Chen Xiao said in surprise.    

Xiluo nodded and said, "Yes, immortal herbs and spirit fruits have extremely harsh conditions for growth. Furthermore, to mature, a large amount of spiritual energy of heaven and earth is needed, and it also requires a long time before it can mature.    

This great demon created this method of maturation by himself. This is already a heaven-defying act. Moreover, this method has a huge side effect. It consumes a lot of energy, and if one is not careful, one's foundation will be damaged, and one's lifespan will be reduced. In the end, one will also die from this method. After that, this method spread out."    

Hearing up to this point, Chen Xiao was shocked to the extreme, and his heart was shaken.    

"This method has a huge side effect. Why is it still spread out?" Chen Xiao asked in puzzlement.    

Xiluo rolled his eyes, as if he was looking at a fool, and glared at him.    

"You don't understand. The attraction of immortal herbs and spirit fruits to the strong is very great. For example, this Dragonheart Fruit of yours needs ten thousand years to mature. Some people can't wait that long."    

Xiluo said.    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao smiled bitterly, "That's right. Ten thousand years is too long."    

He had only lived for less than two thousand years. Ten thousand years to wait for a fruit to mature was simply unimaginable.    

"Yes, that's why there are strong people who created this maturation method. Although it consumes a lot of energy, it can shorten the maturity period of the fruit."    

Xiluo said.    

"..." Chen Xiao's face was uncomfortable.    

When Xilo saw this, he laughed out loud, "But you don't have to worry about this. You have the Lifeline Fluid in your hands, so it won't damage your foundation and lifespan. After all, this Dragonheart Fruit is only one step away from maturing. Your luck is pretty good."    

Chen Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, "I see."    

"Alright, don't think too much about it. Since you want to become stronger, you have to take this step."    

Xilo advised.    

Chen Xiao took a deep breath and said, "That's right."    

"Let's begin. We don't have much time."    

"En."    

Immediately, Chen Xiao sat down on the spot and began to perform the maturation technique. A terrifying suction force was emitted, gathering all the power in his body into his hand, condensing into a golden light.    

This feeling was as if even his life was being drained away. This feeling was too terrifying.    

"Hurry up, now is the time," Xilo urged.    

The Dragonheart Fruit floated in front of his eyes. Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed, and his gaze became more determined. He raised his hand and pointed, and the golden light entered the Dragonheart Fruit and began to mature.    

During the entire process, his mana and strength disappeared extremely quickly. In just a few breaths of time, he felt as if he had been sucked dry, and he felt a sense of exhaustion.    

"Lifeline Fluid," Xilo reminded.    

Chen Xiao picked up the gourd with difficulty and drank it in one gulp. In just a moment, all the Lifeline Fluid in the gourd was drunk by him.    

"Phew, I'm finally feeling a little better. The consumption of this strange technique is too great. I feel like I'm being emptied out."    

Chen Xiao said with a face full of fear.    

"Don't force yourself. Just take it slowly," Xi Luo said.    

"Yes, I didn't control it." Xi Luo smiled bitterly.    

"Alright, let's continue."    

"Okay."    

Just like that, a month passed.    

On this day, Chen Xiao continued to use the technique as usual. He held a gourd filled with vitality spiritual liquid in one hand and gulped it down.    

At this time, Xi Luo came out and glanced at the Dragonheart Fruit floating in the air. He smelled the alluring fragrance.    

A hint of joy appeared in his eyes as he said, "It's about time. It will be ripe soon. Chen Xiao, are you ready?"    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao also became happy and said, "Yes, I can't wait any longer. It's been a whole month."    

Xi Luo nodded and shouted as he looked at the Dragonheart Fruit in the air.    

"Now, it's ripe."    

Chen Xiao was overjoyed. He reached out his hand and grabbed the Dragonheart Fruit, which flew back into his hand. "How do I eat this?"    

"It's very simple. Just swallow it like a pill and refine it."    

Xi Luo said with a smile.    

"Yes."    

Immediately, Chen Xiao swallowed the Dragonheart Fruit. He wrapped it with his mana and refined it with all his strength. Suddenly, a powerful force erupted from his body. He felt like his body was about to split apart.    

His entire body felt as if it was on fire, and a scorching aura swept over.    

When Xi Luo saw this, he anxiously said, "Don't resist it. You have to accept and absorb this power in order to fully absorb its effects."    

"Yes."    

Chen Xiao clenched his teeth and endured it. He did his best to refine it, and soon, the pain in his body disappeared, and he felt comfortable.    

Refining the Dragon Heart Fruit was much simpler than he had imagined.    

In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.    

On this day, Chen Xiao sat cross-legged in the cave. A shocking aura was emitted from his body, and even his body shape had changed slightly. His muscles became more defined.    

"Gugugu."    

He raised his head and drank the gourd of life force spirit liquid, and then he casually threw the gourd to the side.    

At a glance, there were a total of twenty or thirty gourds that had been thrown to the side. It was clear how much energy had been consumed to refine the Dragon Heart Fruit, but compared to the benefits, all of this was worth it.    

"Hu, it's done."    

Chen Xiao stood up, and a series of explosive sounds came from his body. The crackling sound was the result of his strength increasing, and his physique had also reached a new height.    

"I feel that my entire body is filled with inexhaustible strength. Awesome."    

Chen Xiao said excitedly.    

Xi Luo, who was at the side, crawled out and stood on his shoulder. He said, "Not bad, this is more like it. You have gained thousands of years of strength in one go, and your physique has greatly increased. You already have the strength of a dragon."    

"The power of one dragon?"    

Chen Xiao's face was filled with joy. He clenched his fists tightly, and suddenly, the air was torn apart. Cracking sounds could be heard as black void cracks appeared.    

It was obvious that his strength was so strong that he could tear the void apart with a wave of his hand. He was too strong.    

"Yes, the power of one dragon is enough to tear the void apart. You should have felt it. This trip was not in vain. Your strength has already reached the level of an immortal of disaster. Even if you meet Li Juechen, you will not be afraid."    

Xilo said proudly.    

"Li Juechen?" Chen Xiao frowned. He did not know if this person was dead or not.    

In this trip to the secret realm, other than Li Xuan, Li Juechen was the one he cared about the most. Among the people who entered the secret realm, Li Juechen was the strongest.    

If there was someone who could threaten him, it would only be Li Juechen.    

However, since the two of them had not met yet, it was a good thing.    

"Yes, Li Juechen is the one who is the biggest threat to you. Five years have passed in the secret realm. If Li Juechen is still alive, he must have obtained a lot of fortuitous encounters."    

Xilo said, somewhat worried.    

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said coldly, "This person does not have much enmity with me. He probably won't take the initiative to find trouble with me. Don't worry about it."    

"I hope so."    

Xilo said.    

"Heh, you are overthinking. This secret realm is so big. I'm afraid it's very difficult to meet him again."    

“Yes, that’s right.”
