Chapter 602 Purple Emperor Jade in Stone

It was the first time Ding Hao had seen traces of the couple in the real world after knowing about his real identity. For a moment, he couldn’t control himself; he had an impulse to rush to the bottom of the abyss to find out.

The blood and flesh bond made it difficult for Ding Hao to control himself.

But at this time, the rusted sword had almost consumed all his power. He was exhausted and could not go any further.

Looking at the golden wrist guard, Ding Hao was already in tears without realizing it.

He couldn’t control this emotion, although he knew that he was just a passerby who time-traveled from Earth, not the real Ding Hao.

After a long time, he gradually calmed down.

Carefully putting away the golden wrist guard, Ding Hao took a deep breath while his eyes fell on another purple object that he had just captured.

It was a purple crystal.

It was about the size of a fist and opaque like a soft jade. Exuding vigor as if it were alive, it kept trembling out of fear, trying to escape from Ding Hao’s grasp.

“I didn’t expect for such a treasure to exist in the abyss!”

Ding Hao had already recognized it and couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.

Saber Master and Sword Master were also a little stunned. They didn’t expect Ding Hao to have such an incredible luck.

“Haha, anything special about this Jade in Stone?” Ding Hao asked joyously, “Purple on the outside with Dragon Qi inside. It has a majestic look. Is it the emperor of jades? Compared with the Yin Yang Jade in Stone, which one is better?”

The purple crystal in his hand was a particular kind of Jade in Stone.

During the impasse of the Sage Battlefield, Ding Hao had killed the four ferocious Ominous Beasts and obtained a piece of Yin Yang Jade in Stone with luck. That was the first time he had ever seen a piece of Jade in Stone, and it was also the first time he had learned of the existence of such rare treasures. There were a total of 17 kinds of Jade in Stone, each with its own name, and they were all rare treasures.

“This is the Purple Emperor Jade in Stone. You’re right. It’s indeed the emperor of jades,” the Sword Master sighed and said, “You’re really lucky. It was amazing enough that you were able to obtain the Yin Yang Jade in the Stone. I didn’t expect that another top-grade kind would simply fall on your lap this time!”

Ding Hao laughed and said, “So It belongs to one of the four top-grade types? Haha, not bad. This time, which bone section should I merge it with?”

This was definitely a great opportunity.

Last time he had integrated the Yin-Yang Jade in Stone into the 20 ribs on his chest. The Saber Master and the Sword Master believed that this could maximize the protection of the organs which were the most vulnerable and vital parts of the human body.

The Saber Master immediately suggested, “The Purple Emperor Jade in Stone is the emperor of jades. Like a dragon, it condenses the supreme imperial qi between heaven and earth. Being the source of physical strength, the spine of a human body is what a dragon is to the world. The two are the most compatible!”

Obviously, this was the perfect choice, so the Sword Master, for once, didn’t oppose it.

Ding Hao nodded and accepted his advice.

He sealed the stone with the Eternal Light Seal, and then he slowly floated upward with the spurting power of the purple dragon Qi. He arrived at the massive floating crystal after more than two hours had passed.

Ding Hao chose a flat ground on the hill and erected a few simple defensive formations around the mysterious crystal. Then he sat cross-legged inside, opened his mouth, and swallowed the Purple Emperor Stone in Jade.

It was an extremely precious treasure. If the word got out, it would stir chaos and bloodshed across the entire Northern Region. Therefore, to avoid future conflicts, he had to merge this treasure with his body as soon as possible.

He inhaled this purple crystal into his mouth. At first, he felt extremely comfortable as the texture was smooth and cool.

But in the next moment, it suddenly became scorching hot. An incredible heat burst out of the crystal as if he had swallowed a piece of charcoal.

The burning sensation spread along Ding Hao’s throat to his limbs.

Ding Hao groaned; beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

When Ding Hao merged with the Yin Yang Jade in Stone last time, he had been tortured repeatedly by the Yin and Yang power, as if he had experienced all forms of torments that had ever existed in the world. The excruciating pain was not something that ordinary people could bear. The feeling of his head being about to explode was even worse than the dismemberment by a thousand cuts.

This time, Ding Hao was mentally prepared.

However, the agonizing pain made him contort his face in agony.

In just 15 minutes, Ding Hao’s body was completely soaked; his sweat gushed out like water.

He ran the Mind Essential, trying to remain conscious using his powerful divine senses. Instead of fainting, he gritted his teeth and ran his Qi, driving the hot magma-like power to his back.

Looking inside with his Divine Senses, Ding Hao could see a purple flame spreading from the tailbone and merging with the spine little by little.

The process became more and more painful.

Ding Hao felt like a small boat in the roaring sea under the thunderstorm, which could be overturned at any time. The indescribable pain continued to prick him like a blunt knife cutting the flesh. He felt his soul was being torn and fried.

He could no longer see anything; he fell into a semi-comatose state due to the severe pain. He was in complete darkness and could only drive the energy of the Purple Emperor Stone to merge with his spine with the last bit of consciousness.

Time passed slowly, as if it had stagnated.

Ding Hao activated his Qi little by little to stimulate the purple stream of light.

Jade in Stone, also known as the Son of Fate, was a supreme treasure that combined the beauty and spirits of heaven and earth. It was the embodiment of the power of the law and contained infinite wisdom. When it was integrated into the bones and marrow, its power would be unimaginable. Moreover, it could engrave the inscription of the law on the bone.

At this time, purple lines were slowly being formed on Ding Hao’s spine, as if an invisible knife were carving through the flesh and blood on his spine.

People marveled at Ding Hao’s unparalleled strength, but they didn’t know the price and hard work he had paid for it.

Time ticked by.

The pain started to subside after an indeterminate amount of time.

When the last purple pattern grew from Ding Hao’s spine to the cervical vertebrae, the purple beam finally disappearing into Ding Hao’s back. A total of 20 ancient purple inscriptions were branded on each section, giving off a faint light. With the mysterious power, the whole back was turned into a purple color, and even his bone marrow was like a purple crystal.

Ding Hao slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were red as if they were pools of blood.

The ground around him had formed small puddles because of the sweat. The clothes on his body were drenched as if they had just been washed.

Ding Hao slowly stood up; there were crisp sounds like beans popping were coming out of his body. He felt as if his joints were like rusty machines. He felt lightheaded, needing a lot of strength to complete a single movement.

He stretched.

“Roar!”

Waves of dragon roars emerged from his body without warning.

A warm current surged in his spine. As if his whole spine had turned into a giant purple dragon, an extremely powerful force was suddenly gushed out.

Ding Hao looked inside and saw that his whole spine had turned into a purple dragon. It went through his body and produced a devastating force. As he stretched his waist, a stream of Qi rose with a bang, as if the air had exploded.

Ding Hao felt that his body had been filled with inexhaustible power in an instant.

Every step he took was accompanied by the roar of a dragon.

Every action of his body would produce an explosive power.

Any movement of his body could make the air around him explode.

When he exerted his strength, a shadow in the form of a purple dragon would loom behind him, as if the dragon god had reincarnated through him.

Just like the last time, after the integration of the Yin Yang Jade in Stone, due to the sudden increase in physical strength, Ding Hao had some difficulties as he adapted himself to this new power. This time, the integration of the Purple Emperor Jade in Stone was the same, as if a toddler were controlling an adult’s body.

It took 15 minutes for him to adapt to the sudden increase in strength.

Saber Master and Sword Master were right: Purple Emperor Jade in Stone was the perfect match for the human spine. It turned into a giant dragon entrenched in Ding Hao’s body. If he could lift five hundred thousand kilograms in the past, he could lift eight hundred thousand at the moment.

On top of his spine, the faintly discernable purple natural patterns with a mysterious power were reforging his body.

Transforming into a dragon!

Turning his spine into a dragon!

The source of human strength had undergone a perfect evolution.

Ding Hao stood in the same place quietly, embracing the new and intense energy. His spine was slightly bent as it trembled.

“Now my physical strength is comparable to the fighting power of a Martial Emperor at the peak of the five-apertures. My ribs and spine bones won’t be broken even if I face a full blow from a Martial Emperor under the four-apertured realm. These two areas are the most important parts of the human body. Their evolution means that my defense has been greatly increased. Even in the face of a stronger warrior, I would still have a great chance to escape!”
