<h4>Chapter 1626 (Raw 1608): Falling into a Frenzy</h4>


    The golden light swept to the top of the tree beforeing back down to the base. Only then did the ck Star Sawtooth Shark chief rx and stop searching.


    In the first ce, the ck Star Sawtooth Shark chief only did this to be cautious.


    Anyone who dared to barge into the ck Star Sawtooth Shark nest to steal the Life Juice Source would die, even a Cloud Sea powerhouse.


    Furthermore, this ce was not that easy to get to. It was also very difficult for a Cloud Sea powerhouse—a strong existence—to hide their presence and aura.


    However, after going out anding back, the ck Star Sawtooth Shark chief was no longer in the mood to go look for food, so it directlyy down under the tree and rested.


    It was pitch-dark inside the tree. Xiao Chen did not even dare to breathe deeply.


    He had managed to avoid the ck Star Sawtooth Shark chief. Unfortunately, he could not rx, as his Veritable Essence Energy was nearly depleted.


    Xiao Chen’sst strike relied on the strength of his physical body to stab his hand into the tree, expending a significant portion of his Vital Qi.


    If not for merging his Vital Qi and Veritable Essence Energy, he would not have been able to stab his hand into the tree.


    Even so, that was still incredibly painful and tiring.


    The hole in the tree was notrge. Xiao Chen crouched in the darkness and still needed to keep the hole closed. This posture was extremely ufortable.


    While it looked safe, in reality, he was trapped here.


    With his Veritable Essence Energy and Vital Qi drained, not to mention making a move after going out, even resisting the starry sea’s corrosion of his physical body would be impossible.


    Xiao Chen could only slowly recover and wait for the ck Star Sawtooth Shark chief to leave again beforeing out.


    “What is this sticky thing?”


    Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt a rather sticky fluid dripping on his head.


    Without him realizing it, a thickyer had already umted on his feet. When he shifted them, he could clearly feel it.


    Xiao Chen reached out and brought it in front of him.


    It was sap of the highest quality, the golden Life Juice Source.


    “How wasteful.”


    Xiao Chen stretched out his right palm, and a whirlpool appeared, drawing in all the golden Life Juice Source in the tree hole.


    After all, he had nothing to do. He might as well refine all this golden Life Juice Source.


    He could check out how effective this high-quality Life Juice Source was.


    As the golden Life Juice Source entered Xiao Chen’s palm, it entered his bloodstream and gushed into his entire body.


    Xiao Chen immediately felt a certainfort. The wounds on his hand recovered quickly and stopped hurting.


    A warmth flowed through his body, feeling extremelyfortable. His listless, dispirited, and fatigued mood was swept away, leaving him feeling spirited.


    This...


    This development stunned Xiao Chen. Unexpectedly, the highest-quality golden juice had such immediate effects.


    “Interesting.”


    Xiao Chen revealed a smile on his face. This cramped space had this natural juice of life that gave him the best recovery environment.


    He closed his eyes and forgot about everything for now, fully focused on refining the Life Juice Source.


    Xiao Chen slowly refined the golden juice, which kept seeping out. The warmth in his body intensified. Eventually, his body felt like it was on fire.


    After a while, his entire body—his bones, blood, flesh, limbs, and internal organs—felt a pressure that seemed toe from a Great Deste lifeform.


    Even though Xiao Chen already cultivated an initiate Azure Dragon War Body physique, he still felt acute pain and pressure.


    However, at the same time, he felt his soul getting cleansed bit by bit, gradually improving.


    The blood in Xiao Chen’s body surged even more incredibly. The Azure Dragon bloodline in his blood was like a huge, ravenous dragon, making him feel hungry.


    This dragon’s appetite was enormous, continuously absorbing the golden juice. However, it was still unsatisfied.


    The scarlet dragon seal in Xiao Chen’s dantian, which had not moved for a long time, started pulsating at this moment like the heart of a huge dragon, thumping endlessly.


    The whirlpool, which he had used his Veritable Essence Energy to create in his palm, suddenly spun faster. Energy charged out uncontrobly from his blood vessels.


    This energy disdained Xiao Chen for absorbing too slowly, so it took things into its own hands.


    “Whoosh!”


    The golden juice, which was dripping naturally, started flowing in a rush with the suction of this horrifying whirlpool.


    Soon, the golden juice filled the hole, submerging Xiao Chen’s entire body.


    His absorption of the golden juice elerated. At this moment, he could no longer control it.


    Half a day passed. Xiao Chen felt that his physique had clearly improved, transformed. Every part of his flesh and bones contained strong energy and an aura of life. His senses were sharper.


    Compared to earlier, his entire body seemed to have been reborn, feeling brand-new, changed beyond recognition.


    More importantly, with the refinement of this Life Juice Source, the Azure Dragon bloodline in his blood was purer and denser.


    Xiao Chen still did not really understand the benefits that he received. However, he vaguely felt that they would bring him a great and pleasant surprise in the future.


    At this moment, the frantic energy in his blood vessels had already calmed down as if saturated.


    Due to the restriction of his cultivation, he could no longer continue absorbing the golden Life Juice Source. If he continued, there was no guarantee that his physical body would not explode.


    Xiao Chen had returned to his peak state. Now, although his cultivation had not increased, he knew that he had already experienced a rebirth.


    He had stabilized his cultivation at the half-step Primal Core Realm. Breaking through the bottleneck to the Primal Core Realm was now just a matter of time and waiting for the right conditions.


    Many people would be stuck at the bottleneck to the Primal Core Realm for ten years or a hundred years, or even a lifetime.


    However, this fortuitous encounter allowed Xiao Chen to greatly reduce the time he needed to reach the Primal Core Realm. Furthermore, his foundations had solidified even further,pletely eliminating any resultant problems from absorbing the ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy and the Heavenly Yang Pill.


    “My bloodline seems to have an irresistible innate attraction for this Life Juice Source.”


    Now that Xiao Chen had resolved his current danger, he looked around and started entertaining ideas.


    Although he could not absorb any more Life Juice Source for now, this golden Life Juice Source was worth cities. He should collect as much as he could.


    With this thought, he repeated what he did before, taking the initiative to drive the power of his bloodline and form a whirlpool in his palm.


    Immediately, the golden Life Juice Source spewed out from above and below.


    It was indeed possible. Xiao Chen showed a delighted expression. Then, he took out the jade bottle that contained a huge space with his left hand and started collecting the liquid happily.


    This Tree of Life contained an exceptional amount of this pure, golden Life Juice Force.


    The other Trees of Life only gave about four hundred kilograms of silver Life Juice Force at most before the sap turned turbid.


    However, Xiao Chen had already collected close to five hundred kilograms, yet there was still no sign of any impurities.


    “Rumble...!”


    However, just at this moment, something strange happened. Xiao Chen felt the trunk of the tree shake violently.


    The entire Tree of Life juddered, creating horrifying undercurrents that rocked the ck Star Sawtooth Sharks in the nest up and down wildly.


    “Crack! Crack!” The roots of this Tree of Life came out of the seabed. The massive Tree of Life, which was about three kilometers tall, started running in the water.


    It turned out that this Tree of Life had already gained some intelligence. It felt its sap draining quickly but did not know what was happening.


    Hence, its basic instinct was to leave this ce.


    Xiao Chen tumbled uncontrobly, unable to maintain his bnce.


    He wanted toe out, but when he used his Spiritual Sense to check, he was startled into abandoning that idea.


    Frantic, clueless ck Star Sawtooth Sharks filled the waters, surrounding the Tree of Life.


    The Tree of Life was a divine object of their race. This was especially so for this Tree of Life that gave golden liquid. It was a deity among deities, something that formed the basis of their faith.


    During ancient times, many savage races stubbornly pursued their faith. Now, these ck Star Sawtooth Sharks were like those savage races, all of them entering a frenzy.


    As they surrounded the Tree of Life, they moaned in a fluster. However, they did not know what had happened.


    Even so, they did not dare to approach lest they hurt the Tree of Life. They could only surround it and swim forward with it.


    Xiao Chen, who was in the Tree of Life, was stunned. Unexpectedly, he had triggered such a hugemotion.


    If he went out now, he would probably get torn apart by these furious ck Star Sawtooth Sharks; not even scraps of his body would remain.


    “I need to make this Tree of Life surface. Only then will I have a chance of survival.”


    A brilliant light shed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. Either he gave up or went all-out. So, he frantically collected the Life Juice Source, trying to kill this Tree of Life. Then, it naturally would float up.
