Top-class Bodyguard

Chapter 1012 - 989: First Conversation with the Jin Dragon

Ren Feng looked at the array, which hadn't been activated yet, but even so, the cold energy was overwhelming, making Ren Feng feel quite uncomfortable, it was indeed too cold.

"Once you enter the array, I will activate the array, serving as its core. After the array is activated, you release the Yang Tribulation," said the Celestial Dragon Ascendant.

Ren Feng nodded.

"Alright, enter the array."

Ren Feng walked toward the array, while Xiao Mo watched from behind, wanting to see what capabilities Ren Feng truly possessed.

For days, his master and that old man were busy setting up this array, Xiao Mo knew this well, but he hadn't expected this array was prepared for this young man.

Ren Feng entered the array and directly sat cross-legged. He had placed everything aside, took off his shirt, leaving only his shorts.

The chilling cold energy rushed toward Ren Feng; without utilizing True Qi, Ren Feng's physique could already feel traces of the cold.

This cold energy could penetrate his body, making even the body in the Tripod Realm hard to resist.

The Celestial Dragon Ascendant also sat cross-legged not far from the array, closed his eyes, and at that moment, mystical writings appeared all over his body, instantly covering him.

He quickly chanted, rapidly forming intricate hand seals before him, then raised his hands upward.

"Eight Celestial Dragons!"

Suddenly, the mystical writings on his body floated into the air, transforming into dragons that roared majestically before diving into the array.

The previously glowing array started to shine brightly at this moment, with beams of light illuminating, and as the array was activated, all the cold energy in the cave crazily converged into the array.

Soon, within the array where Ren Feng sat, the cold energy lingered in the air, visibly discernible.

Furthermore, as the array operated, the cold energy transformed into strands of cold Yin energy, floating around Ren Feng.

Heaven and Earth possess Yin and Yang, where Yang and Yin energy mutually coexist, yet the specific nature of Yin energy remains unclear. Some say it is the gentle energy of women; others claim it is the cold energy, but in truth, it is merely a unique energy in the world, manifesting in various forms.

The Celestial Dragon Ascendant's array is uniquely powerful, transforming cold energy into Yin energy.

Feeling the surrounding cold Yin energy, Ren Feng relaxed, loosened himself, and completely released his internal True Qi.

The moment Ren Feng released his True Qi, he could sense the energy of the Sixth Yang Tribulation within him suddenly surging.

Initially, the Yang Tribulation lay dormant after being suppressed for a time, but now, it remained continually suppressed, signaling that it could erupt at any moment.

Ren Feng, with closed eyes, was engulfed by the tumultuous Yang Tribulation energy inside him, overwhelming all within him with scorching heat, agonizing pain, and terrifying temperatures.

His body turned crimson red as if cooked, with every meridian suffering equally, every inch enduring agony.

More fiercely than ever before, in such a short time, Ren Feng stood immobilized, feeling as though his body was boiling, drenched in cold sweat.

Within seconds, Ren Feng felt he couldn't take it anymore, but at that moment, the cold Yin energy pierced into Ren Feng's body, clashing with the energy of the Yang Tribulation, beginning to dissolve.

The effect was profoundly visible; strands of cold Yin energy breached Ren Feng's body, integrating with the rampaging Yang Tribulation energy.

Ren Feng's symptoms subsided somewhat, as the array's operation quickened, more cold Yin power infiltrated his body.

At last, his internal state balanced, with Yang Tribulation energy continuously merging with the cold Yin energy, Ren Feng's previously twisted expression slightly eased.

At this moment, his consciousness seemed detached from reality, as if drawn out from his body, traversing through dense darkness, across erupting volcanos on the surface, arriving at a scene he had never witnessed before.

The sun blazed in the sky, the ground overgrown with wild vegetation towering over two people, with gigantic sky-piercing trees stretching inexorably, while the air teemed with a scent of blood.

Suddenly, the once dazzling sky turned dreary and dark, Ren Feng saw countless massive creatures roaming the ground, and in the nearby night sky, clouds gathered, advancing toward him.

Ren Feng watched the cloud, only realizing upon its approach, that amidst the clouds lay a long, serpent-like creature, all of it golden, bearing nine claws, with whiskers remarkably long, riding the clouds below.

Could this be a dragon?

Ren Feng felt as if he were dreaming; the flora and fauna here were entirely different, deeply strange.

Suddenly, above the golden dragon, clouds appeared again, blanketing rain, intermixed with flashes and thunder.

Ren Feng gazed on, astonished, and in the next moment, everything vanished, the scene reverted back to darkness.

He found himself standing still, unable to move, and then, before him, two lights as large as millstones emerged from the darkness, staring at him.

The dark scene abruptly brightened, allowing Ren Feng to see, he stood on a cliff edge, and before him floated the golden dragon he had seen earlier!

This golden dragon was so enormous, he barely matched its nose size, its eyes were larger than his body, an utterly unbelievable sight.

Was this a dream?

Ren Feng still doubted, yet suddenly, a voice echoed within his mind.

"My host."

Ren Feng startled, looked toward the golden dragon, and following the voice, he awoke abruptly.

This wasn't a dream; he was within the dragon's consciousness!

"Who are you?"

"In human terms, I am called a dragon, my full name is Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon."

The golden dragon's gaze fixed on Ren Feng, without moving its mouth, yet its voice resonated directly within Ren Feng's mind.

Ren Feng took a deep breath, his mind chaotic now.

"What's happening? Why are you suddenly talking to me?"

"Host, the energy you previously allowed me to absorb has enabled my brief awakening, plus, I reside within you always."
