Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1970 - 1959: Drums Like Thunder

There is no doubt, the current Ning Fan is undoubtedly a freak.Although he looks human on the outside, it's just a human skin draped over him, with no flesh or blood essence inside; instead, there is a vast "Milky Way."

The Milky Way is composed of countless light points, and these light points are derived from the decomposition of various organs and tissues.

Thus, he jokingly referred to these light points as "cells."

Although it's a joke, in some ways, it's quite fitting.

From a medical point of view, there are many types of cells, each with different functions.

For example, red blood cells have the function of carrying oxygen; nerve cells have the role of conducting excitement; lymphocytes have immune functions...

The currently fully transformed non-human Ning Fan has only discovered one function of the "cells," which is also the most important one: they can devour foreign energy.

If the light points are compared to white blood cells, then the previously invading Nine Lineage God Power is like bacteria.

Not just eliminating, the "cells" can also absorb Elemental Divine Power to strengthen themselves.

Nowadays, Ning Fan has such a vast river because he absorbed the power of the Forbidden Spell.

And the Forbidden Spell comes from the Ancestral Dragon God of the Nine Lineages, of the same race as the Black Dragon.

This somewhat explains why Ning Fan's power would enter the Black Dragon's body.

"Could it be influenced by the bloodline?"

Even though he didn't know where the bloodline was in the black sludge that the Black Dragon turned into.

But after all, it's a creature from the Divine Realm, so Ning Fan refrained from making hasty conclusions.

Just as Ning Fan was speculating about the effect of the crystal structure, a dazzling light burst out from the mixture's interior.

This glow carried an invisible force, instantly bouncing Ning Fan away.

"What is this..."

Ning Fan looked in front, astonished. The previously hideous and disgusting brown sphere now shone like a small sun.

The light grew brighter and actually made Ning Fan's eyes feel a slight stinging; all he could see in his vision was a blinding white, unable to see inside the sphere at all.

While Ning Fan mused over the reason for the change, he suddenly frowned and quickly used internal vision on his body.

The originally vanished bones, organs, muscles, and other parts all appeared again.

He was no longer just a human skin; he had become a living person with blood and flesh.

But facing this sudden good fortune, Ning Fan wasn't as happy as imagined; instead, he felt a bit depressed.

The flesh and blood had returned, but the light points had disappeared.

Ning Fan wasn't entirely sure about the true relationship between the light points and organs.

However, thinking about the return of flesh and blood following the Black Dragon's devouring of light points made him uncomfortable.

At this moment, in the quiet Ryan Town, a muffled sound suddenly echoed.

A "thud," deep and powerful.

Confused, Ning Fan looked toward the now sun-like sphere, uncertain if the sound had come from there.

Because after that sound, Ryan Town returned to such silence where a pin drop could be heard.

About two minutes later, the muffled drum-like sound reappeared.

This time Ning Fan finally confirmed that the sound was the sphere's doing.

Counting silently for about a minute, the sound reoccurred as expected, and it was even louder than before.

Ning Fan's pupils shrank, and a vague sense of foreboding rose in his heart, but he could only wait with a calm face.

The light emitted by the sphere seemed like a protective barrier. Ning Fan tried to break through it but couldn't.

In just a few seconds, another "thud" sounded.

The frequency kept increasing, the frequently occurring sound had no respite at all.

Thud, thud, thud, nonstop like a dense drumbeat, sounding as if an intense and majestic battle march was being played.

Ning Fan unconsciously clutched his heart, feeling each beat as if it might leap out, then he came to his senses with a jest, "I don't even have a heart, why is it beating."

The drum sound was intense and resounding, its force astounding, rippling into layers of watery waves in the void.

Amidst the rising dust, the earth seemed about to tear apart, chasms appeared amidst the tremors.

Buildings barely spared from disaster began to collapse in droves.

Ning Fan gazed into the distance, seeing calm and unaffected by the drum sound, finally exhaling in relief.

That was where the spectral Mary resided, having painstakingly rescued her from the dragon's mouth, it would be a colossal loss if her soul were shattered by the tremors.

The sound grew ever more frequent, the rippling waves in the void increasingly apparent.

In the continuous tremors, pebbles on the opposite side bizarrely floated and jumped up and down in the air.

The ground was in worse shape, with hideous fissures appearing everywhere.

"At this rate, the entire Ryan Town might just be destroyed."

A hint of concern flashed in Ning Fan's eyes, planning to take Mary and leave Ryan Town first.

In a moment, the urgent drumbeats soared in intensity, like thunder suddenly exploding on flat ground.

Amidst such tremors, Ning Fan's stance began to falter, clearly indicating the time to leave had come.

Just as Ning Fan intended to dash towards Mary's location, the earthquake-like shaking ceased, and the drum sound ceased to play.

Following that explosive sound, Ryan Town reverted from chaos to a deathly stillness,

If not for the pervasive dust and the ground's crisscrossing chasms, no one would believe a strong earthquake had struck here just moments ago.

"Is it over?"

Ning Fan looked forward doubtfully; the sphere representing the Black Dragon's skeleton was still in its brilliant glow.

"The light has expanded!"

Seeing the glowing body as big as a small mountain, Ning Fan's expression darkened sharply, anticipating that the Black Dragon seemed revived.

Despite the reluctance to believe, the earlier drum sounds could very likely have been the Black Dragon's heartbeat or a resonance of its bloodline causing the celestial phenomena.

Beyond that point, Ning Fan could think of no other reason.

Right then, darkness suddenly enveloped Ning Fan's vision.

It wasn't that his eyes were harmed, but the retinal image seemed to meet a pitch-dark night, where one couldn't see fingers stretched before one's face.

The sphere, which had been radiating with brilliant light, suddenly retracted its luminescence and grew dim.

Aside from pure darkness, nothing else was visible, not even a hint of light.

The sphere seemed to have transformed into a black hole, devouring surrounding light at a speed surpassing light speed.

This was precisely why Ning Fan suddenly lost his sight.

Soon, the extreme darkness began to fade gradually, with a layer of hazy white light emerging at its edges.

The hazy white light was like a painting brush, quickly sketching an image.

Watching a pattern of a long tail, wings, and a long neck, Ning Fan tensed, clenching his fists warily.

This pattern was clearly the Black Dragon's outline, the only difference being the form had shrunk a bit.

"It's not a spherical shape. So the Black Dragon truly revived."

At this point, Ning Fan felt the air thickening slightly, with a mild pressure pressing on his shoulder.
