The desert was dead silent. There was no one around.

Ye Zichen and Shadow charged out of the encirclement of the dead like a hot knife through butter, breaking the illusion of the starry sky. They flew in the desolate grassland for about a day before they arrived in a crimson forest.

"Why are you following me?"

"Take off your mask. I'm not used to being with someone wearing a mask."

Ye Chenfeng looked at the mysterious figures that were unable to capture her true thoughts, and demanded.

"This …"

Hearing Ye Chenfeng's request, Ying hesitated. She did not expect Ye Chenfeng to make such a request.

"Shadow, you have no choice. If you don't want to, then we'll split up here." Ye Zichen said coldly.

"Alright, I'll pick it!"

Shadow raised his head slightly and glanced at Ye Chenfeng. He lifted his lips and removed the formation patterns from his silver mask, then reached out to take it off, revealing an exquisite face that was white, tender, and extremely delicate.

"I never thought that the chief disciple of Dark Shadow Tower would have such a beautiful face."

Ye Zichen revealed a faint smile as he looked at Shadow's crescent-like eyebrows, spirited eyes, high nose, and thin rosy lips.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Hearing Ye Zichen's teasing, Shadow did not get angry. Instead, he looked straight at him and asked with a neither happy nor sad expression.

"Very satisfied!" Ye Zichen nodded, then said as if he wanted to test her, "I want to refine that dragon bone here and further increase my strength. Help me protect me."

"En!"

Shadow nodded and agreed without any hesitation.

"Boss, do you really believe her?"

Ye Zichen walked into the depths of the scarlet forest and took out the precious half meter dragon bone. Just as he was about to put it into the Vermillion Bird Cauldron to refine, the voice of the Primal Chaos Divine Beast sounded out in his mind.

"I don't believe it!" Ye Chenfeng replied with a sound transmission.

"If you don't believe me, why did you keep her by your side and purposely look at her!"

"But to be honest, that little lady has really good skin and hot body. Boss, you won't have any interest in her. You want to take her down here and vent some of your anger on her." "You want it?" The Godbeast teased.

… ….

"I told her to remove her mask because I didn't want her to hide her expression and thoughts. That would be very dangerous."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Protect me! I want to refine this dragon bone!"

With that, Ye Zichen did not waste any more time with the Primal Chaos Divine Beast. He threw the priceless half a meter dragon bone into the Vermillion Bird Cauldron, then poured the Black Flame into the cauldron to refine it.

Instantly, waves of heat waves were released from the Vermilion Bird Cauldron, filling the air and causing distortions to appear in the air.

When Ye Zichen controlled the Vermillion Bird Cauldron to refine the half a meter long dragon bone, the 'Shadow', who was sitting cross-legged in the distance, only took a glance before closing her eyes.

About two hours later, the half meter long dragon bone was completely melted by the Vermillion Bird Cauldron. The impurities in the dragon bone's essence were also incinerated by the scorching black flames.

However, this half meter dragon bone had existed for far too long, and the energy within it had been forcefully extracted by someone. Thus, the amount of dragon bone essence refined by the Vermillion Bird Cauldron was only the size of a dragon eye.

"Devour!"

After refining the dragon bone essence, Ye Zichen immediately opened the lid of the cauldron and sucked out the dragon eye sized, scalding hot dragon bone essence and swallowed it into his stomach.

"Boom!"

When the dragon bone essence entered Ye Chenfeng's body, it immediately exploded out with endless energy, flowing through the blood vessels and meridians in Ye Chenfeng's body, destroying his physical body.

All of a sudden, a heart-wrenching pain spread across his entire body. The pain caused the veins on Ye Chenfeng's forehead to pop out, causing him to break out in cold sweat, while his entire body started to tremble uncontrollably.

As the energy released by the dragon bone essence increased, the pain in Ye Chenfeng's body became more and more intense. However, he still managed to endure the pain due to his unyielding faith. He activated the Soul Devouring Secret Art and transformed into a Divine Transformation, then refined the dragon bone essence.

If he could condense the fifth spirit bead, Ye Chenfeng's physical strength would increase by leaps and bounds, greatly increasing his strength.

Just as Ye Zichen was hiding in the crimson mountain forest and refining the dragon bone essence under the protection of Shadow, Yue Zhongtian, who had basically recovered from his injuries, had joined hands with Mo Wugou and the others to wander in danger. They were hiding the extremely dangerous and desolate prairie, looking for other great opportunities.

Knowing that his strength was insufficient, Zi Yun gave up on the idea of exploring the Dragon Abyss. Instead, he stayed in the relatively safe Black God Palace to cultivate. He waited for the Dragon Abyss to close and teleport him out of the Dragon Abyss.

"The Ancient Compass, the ultimate guide."

Being bewitched by the dense stars in the sky, the Moon, Zhongtian and the others were lost in the desolate grassland. Being bewitched by the dense stars in the sky, the Moon, Zhongtian and the others were lost in the desolate grassland.

After a few days of cultivation and enduring the excruciating pain, Ye Chenfeng had basically absorbed the dragon bone essence. As his power increased and his dragon bloodline strengthened, a fifth elementary spiritual pearl was faintly formed.

His physical strength alone had also reached 12 million pounds of strength. Coupled with the increase in his realm, Ye Chenfeng's physical strength had reached 14 million pounds of strength.

"If I can find a few more of these dragon bones, I should be able to reach the Perfection Stage of the first stage of the Nine Transformation Divine Body. By then, I should be able to contend with a first level Battle-Beast Emperor by relying solely on my physical strength."

After refining the dragon bone essence, Ye Zichen carved the ten sword marks on the tip of Di Tian's sword into his mind and quickly calculated.

After cultivating the way of the sword to the fourth level, Ye Zichen's understanding of sword intent was already very deep. In less than a day, he managed to understand ten sword patterns of the Di Tian Sword Tactic, and managed to cultivate the sword intent to the terrifying fifth level.

"Let's go!"

As his strength increased further, Ye Zichen let out a breath, then slowly stood up. He looked at the shadow that was sitting cross-legged, then brought her out of the scarlet forest.

Roughly four days later, the two of them passed through layers of illusionary space and arrived at a desolate and deathly still place, which was covered with strange grave bags.
