Chapter 542 - Dragon and Phoenix
Jiang Chen hadn’t started the breakthrough of his own free will. There were too many uncertain factors that could affect his success.
There were even signs of failure showing up.
Jiang Chen, in the burning flames, felt like he was losing control of his own body, the carrier of martial arts, like a mustang with no reigns.
However, the most important thing in the process of breaking through to the Venerable stage was to keep the carrier of martial arts under control when various energies were fighting against each other, because such a big breakthrough of state was precisely about the change in the carrier of martial arts.
It would be easier to understand if compared with the breakthrough from the Mental Wander State to the Reaching Heaven State.
The breakthrough to Venerable was even more different. The change from the Reaching Heaven State to Venerable was far greater than the change from the Mental Wander State to the Reaching Heaven State.
First of all, the nine haloes of heaven in Qihai would turn into one.
The commanders were all experienced people. They recognized this right away. That was why they felt perplexed.
If people had various kinds of forces, they would choose one of them and give up the rest during the breakthrough.
Jiang Chen had fallen into this situation either because he was stupid or because he had started the breakthrough involuntarily.
“Did he find treasure in the valley that triggered his breakthrough?”
They guessed, but still couldn’t connect the terrifying beast in their mind with what had happened to Jiang Chen.
“Should I say he’s lucky or unlucky?”
He had such a great opportunity, but could fail to break through to Venerable due to a lack of preparation.
Throughout history, all renowned strong people had broken through to the Venerable state successfully in one go.
As a result, people assumed that once someone failed, they wouldn’t be able to become a strong person anymore, which wasn’t true.
In fact, no one could tell what kind of effect such a failure would have.
The phoenix blood and the origin of fire dragons didn’t really have the free will to take ownership of Jiang Chen’s body after he became a Venerable.
They were actually deadlocked, both desiring to facilitate Jiang Chen’s breakthrough.
Competition was only a metaphor used to describe the situation accurately.
Jiang Chen couldn’t give up the phoenix blood, and the origin of fire dragons was out of his control. Under the two forces, his skin started to blister.
The terrible thing was that Jiang Chen couldn’t feel any pain.
“Whatever!”
He raised his left hand high to exert the Gaos’ bible. At the same time, he extended his right arm straight out to drive the powerful Dragon and Elephant Method.
As a result, his skin was blistering faster and faster, especially the skin on his hands.
“Merge!”
All of a sudden, Jiang Chen clapped his hands, but it seemed that there was an unseen obstruction.
During this process, the dragon and the phoenix in the heaven-reaching fire column started to merge.
At that point, eight minutes had passed.
The Dragon Rebel Army, making full use of every minute, was about to finish the deployment of the unique formation. They were extremely impatient.
Another minute passed. The dragon and the phoenix merged together perfectly, but they didn’t turn into a brand new creature. It looked more like they became entangled.
Pressing his palms together and crossing his fingers, Jiang Chen looked extremely fearsome.
“Dragon, on all fours! Phoenix, off your feet!”
