Chapter 894 894 - Progress Through Pain

These two forces were irreconcilable!

With every clash, there would be a violent jerk in the inner core, letting out a jarring sound. At the same time, an extremely terrifying force would surge through all his limbs and organs.

For normal martial artists, the impact of those forces were destructive.

If they were in this position, their bones and tendons would have snapped while their organs would have exploded along with their bodies into bloody mists!

However, of all things, Aiden was someone who wasn't a normal martial artist, but someone with a very unique origin.

Furthermore, his recently gained draconic martial technique was a supreme martial technique that could change the world and creation, forging a body that was terrifying beyond anything else!

His body was akin to a relentless utensil that could undergo all setbacks.

He was unyielding as the forces of fire and water clashed against him!

As time passed by, spiritual energy entered his body endlessly. Coupled with the fact that he was at the legendary Extreme Martial Knight realm, the two different energies climbed relentlessly.

At the same time, the clash between the two energies was getting more intense as well!

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

Loud bangs were even echoing from within Aiden's body.

Later on, with every single clash, Aiden's body would jerk and he would frown with a look of pain.

At that moment, the most rational thing to do for him was to stop his core formation attempt.

However, Aiden's expression was resolute and he wasn't swayed at all!

He believed in his determination.

If he could calm the monkey mind, control the prancing horse and subdue dragons and tigers, why wouldn't he be able to subdue the Dao of fire and water as well?

He also believed in the old man's words, and the gift he had granted him. The Ancient Primordial Dragon Manual was an incredible and mysterious gift.

He was convinced that his body would be able to endure the impacts!

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

Time slowly passed.

The frequency of the clash between the two energies subsided. However, each clash was now scarier with accumulated force and the impact was even more terrifying!

*Poof!*

One after another, terrifying bloodied scars appeared on Aiden's body and face. His flesh was split open and there was a mist of blood around him.

It was painful! Extremely so.

Every single inch of meat was in tremendous pain and struck at his nerves.

The impact was something that came from within.

First, it collided within the inner core itself. Next, it burst forth and rippled through his organs, both of his cores, tendons, bones, and flesh!

Almost instantly, Aiden broke out in cold sweat.

As if it could sense his pain, the peach blossom tree behind him swayed gently and a pink glow wafted down, akin to moonlight falling in a gentle manner.

The light fell and dissipated into spots, dancing in the air like spirits before surging into Aiden's injuries with vibrant vital essence.

To be honest, the power of those light spots was not strong.

However, that was the only thing the peach blossom tree could do.

When the two energies within his inner core rested for a moment, the terror of Aiden's body was displayed once more!

With a boom, his blood energy surged and roared like tsunamis, washing across his wounds.

His Inner Core churned maniacally and demonic energy spread. A tremendous self-regeneration power repaired his organs and connected his tendons and of course, his bones!

After they were torn, they regenerated and turned the energy in his organs purer, made his tendons more flexible and his bones even stronger like weapons!

His body was undergoing yet another baptism!

Aiden's newly formed Inner Core was expanding as well.

Initially, the spiritual energy in his Inner Core could only be compared to the current flow of a stream.

However, his expanded Inner Core became broader and his spirit energy gushed even fiercer, comparative to massive rivers surging into the sea!

*Boom!*

Just as his internal injuries were recovering, the two different energies clashed once more and produced a resounding bang.

Aiden's body shuddered.

It was a type of pain that struck his bones and almost caused him to faint!

Aiden knew that there was no way out for him.

If he were to retreat at this moment, he would suffer even greater difficulties and pain in the future for his next attempt at core formation!

No one could break Aiden's determination!

His spirit sea condensed continuously, shrinking, transforming, and ascending!

An illusory phantom of the Ancient Dragon appeared faintly behind his frame.

Endless spirit energy surged towards that illusory mythical beast, allowing it to turn corporeal and firmer.

His Inner Core was condensed in Aiden's chest.

On the other hand, his Primal Core swiveled an inch beneath his naval in his inner core, shining with a golden glow in its spherical shape.

Against that bedazzling golden shade, Aiden's organs, blood, flesh, bones, and marrow shone with an illuminating transparency.

Aiden sat beneath the peach blossom tree with a transparent and flawless body, emanating the aura of a golden, glowing divine being. He was like a peerless divine, godly king that had descended, looking down on the world and shocking the masses!

By stepping into the Martial Master realm, breaking free of the restraints of heaven and earth, and extending one's lifespan, there would also be a change in one's demeanor as they gradually transcend mortality!

Aiden now truly possessed an air of immortality. Even if it was faint, it was already there.

His expression calmed down gradually.

At this point of his breakthrough, he had already crossed over the most dangerous and arduous stage.

What was left was for him to materialize the Martial Master realm before stabilizing it!

The peach blossom tree swayed and petals fell with a hint of joy as well.

An unknown period of time passed.

Aiden shuddered and a newfound energy was formed in his inner core. It was indestructible and pure, radiating with an immense luster!

An extremely terrifying aura emanated from within Aiden's body, as though a gigantic ancient True Dragon was awakening!

All of a sudden!

Aiden's eyes were initially shut. However, he suddenly felt his vision blur and witnessed a shocking scene.

Dark clouds were overcast and lightning flashed as thunder rumbled.

The skies collapsed and formed a series of tears!

An apocalyptic firestorm rained down and all living beings were crying miserably.

In the face of this energy that could destroy all life, Aiden's expression was pale and he felt that he was pathetically insignificant.

Even Martial Grandmasters and Quasi-Divine Beings would be met with death, let alone Martial Masters.

*Bang!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

All of a sudden!

Heaven and earth rumbled.

An incomparably massive ancient creature descended with a terrifying aura and four legs that were akin to heavenly-piercing pillars. Standing in the middle of a dark, deep sea, it did not move and suppressed the raging tides.

Its tough armor carried the broken firmament and blanketed the world, blocking the massive void currents while protecting all living beings!

It was similar to the Ancient Dragon's visage, seemingly just an illusion but also, at the same time, something much more as well. A great beast, similar to the Ancient Dragon in power yet, something new and unknown at the same time.

Aiden had never seen such a gargantuan beast. Filled with a vicissitude aura, it seemed like it had crossed through the sands of time from the ancient eras and appeared in the world!

Mysterious patterns were etched on its shell, forming obscure runes that seemed as though they could understand the world and the secrets behind the origin of the universe.

Focusing his gaze, Aiden realized that his eyes stung with an incomparably sharp pain and instantly, two streams of tears flowed down his cheeks and he spun in dizziness!

Startled, Aiden shut his eyes hurriedly.

Against the flashing lightning and roaring thunder, the gigantic beast that mostly resembled a strange unholy fusion between an eastern-styled dragon and that of a snapping dragon turtle carried the broken heavens and calmed the raging tides with all four legs, protecting all living beings. Raising its head, it roared into the skies and divine light burst forth from its eyes in an unstoppable momentum!

At that moment, the divine turtle was the only godly being in the entire world!

Although Aiden's eyes were shut, that scene was etched deeply into his mind unforgettably.

"This is my Martial Master phenomenon."

Secretly delighted, Aiden closed his eyes and recalled the phenomenon he had witnessed in his mind.

He did not know the origin of his Martial Master phenomenon or what its name was.

Perhaps, it might even be an unprecedented Martial Master phenomenon.

However, Aiden knew that the Martial Master phenomenon was extremely powerful!

At the very least, he had never come across another Martial Master phenomenon as dazzling as such!

Prior to this, in the battle at the manor, a Martial Master released his Heavenly Essence Swords and it was already strong enough to be able to wound Aiden's body.

However, compared to the Martial Master phenomenon Aiden had just comprehended, that was far inferior!
