Chapter 677 - 671: Awakening the Chaos Divine Body

Shen Haoran’s tightly shut eyes slowly opened. He was momentarily stunned when he saw the dense, towering ancient trees all around him, and he couldn’t help but marvel at the Wood Spirit Cyan Profound’s power.

"Brother Haoran, are you all right?!" Ji Lingxuan asked anxiously, rushing forward the moment she saw Shen Haoran open his eyes.

"I’m fine. The Wood Spirit Cyan Profound has been refined!" Shen Haoran chuckled, then focused his consciousness inward. He gazed at the emerald-green Spirit Seed floating quietly within his Primordial Small World. ’The Wood Spirit Cyan Profound is refined. Now for the most important step: awakening the Chaos Divine Body!’

"Ling Xuan, step back. And remember, no matter what happens in a moment, do not be alarmed!" Shen Haoran said in a low, serious voice, his gaze fixed on Ji Lingxuan.

Seeing Shen Haoran’s grave expression, Ji Lingxuan nodded. She knew the next part was crucial for him. In a flash, she instantly retreated over a hundred meters away to watch him in silence.

After Ji Lingxuan left, Shen Haoran beckoned with his hand. The Wood Spirit Pearl, which had been hovering nearby, slowly drifted over and came to a stop, suspended quietly in his palm.

For most people, refining a Heaven and Earth Spirit was an extremely dangerous affair. For Shen Haoran, however, the most dangerous part was awakening the Chaos Divine Body *after* the Refinement. ’If I had a choice,’ he thought, ’I would rather die than go through that feeling again.’

Taking a deep breath, Shen Haoran’s gaze turned resolute. He gritted his teeth, steeled himself, and shoved the Wood Spirit Pearl into his mouth, swallowing it whole.

BOOM...

The moment the Wood Spirit Pearl entered Shen Haoran’s body, the already-refined Wood Spirit Cyan Profound suddenly went berserk. It began to rampage within his Primordial Small World as powerful Energy erupted in all directions, blasting deep craters into the world’s landscape.

Shen Haoran ignored the newly enraged Wood Spirit Cyan Profound, placing his entire focus on the Wood Spirit Pearl and slowly guiding it into the Primordial Small World.

With the arrival of the Wood Spirit Pearl, the Fire Spirit Pearl and Earth Spirit Pearl shot out from the earth and volcanoes of the Primordial Small World. As if answering some summons, the three Spirit Pearls transformed into three streaks of light and rushed toward one another.

Shen Haoran looked up at the tri-colored light floating above the Primordial Small World and took a deep breath. With a mental command, he slammed his palm forward, forcibly crushing the three Spirit Pearls together. Below them, the Spirit Seeds of the three Heaven and Earth Spirits answered the summons of their pearls and merged into them. Then, under Shen Haoran’s grave watch, the three colors—black, yellow, and green—collided with a deafening crash.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A series of terrifying rumbles echoed through the Primordial Small World as violent Energy instantly poured down. A powerful gale ravaged the plane, which in an instant resembled the apocalypse. The very heavens and earth changed color as the gray sky was completely consumed by the tri-colored Energy. Volcanoes erupted, the ground split asunder, and trees grew with frantic speed amidst the crumbling world—a truly spectacular sight.

Shen Haoran’s gaze was fixed on the roiling mass of the Tri-colored Spirit Pearl, its components warring with each other. He sent his vast Spiritual Thought deep inside, searching for the singular point of balance among the three Heaven and Earth Spirits.

But as time went on, Shen Haoran still could not find the point of balance between the three Heaven and Earth Spirits. Even though his Spiritual Thought had already reached the level of a Seventh Grade Alchemist, the task was still immensely difficult. Adding another Heaven and Earth Spirit was not as simple as two plus one equaling three. The terrifying Energy raging between the three entities completely shielded them from his Spiritual Thought, and he could find nothing.

Terrifying Energy continued to erupt from the Tri-colored Spirit Pearl, causing the Primordial Small World itself to tremble on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, at this critical moment, the Power of Chaos hidden within Shen Haoran’s body seeped out. It merged with the tri-colored Spiritual Power, pacifying the violent Energy. Shen Haoran seized the opportunity, finally locating the point of balance between the three Heaven and Earth Spirits. He then forced them to fuse along that fragile point of equilibrium.

After Shen Haoran found that fragile point of balance, the three Heaven and Earth Spirits fused with surprising smoothness. This astonished him. ’To think,’ he mused, ’back when I fused the Earth Spirit Profound Nether and the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian, I nearly passed through the Ghost Gate several times. I never expected fusing three Heaven and Earth Spirits would be this easy.’

But he quickly figured it out. ’The three Heaven and Earth Spirits inside me now have a relationship where they both create and destroy one another. As long as I can find their point of balance, fusing them is simple.’

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. The three once-warring Heaven and Earth Spirits had now completely merged into a single, profound purplish-black color. The terrifying waves of Energy emanating from it made even Shen Haoran’s heart palpitate with dread.

The fusion of the three Heaven and Earth Spirits was now complete. In the next moment, a dense torrent of bizarre Energy erupted from the purplish-black mass and shot abruptly toward Shen Haoran’s left arm.

POP...

The instant that bizarre Energy slammed into his left arm, Shen Haoran’s arm exploded before Ji Lingxuan’s horrified eyes. A spray of crimson blood gushed out, and Ji Lingxuan had to clamp a hand over her mouth to keep from screaming. The scene was simply too gruesome.

"Hiss..." Shen Haoran couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath against the excruciating pain radiating from his left arm. His face instantly turned pale, and veins bulged on his forehead. ’This awakening sure is brutal,’ he thought. ’It destroyed my left arm without a second thought!’

Blood gushed from the stump of Shen Haoran’s arm as if it were a fountain. The purplish-black Energy began to gather there, and soon, the sharp pain gradually faded. It was replaced by an itching, numbing sensation, as if countless ants were crawling all over his skin. The feeling was almost more unbearable than the amputation itself.

Shen Haoran gritted his teeth against the maddening sensation and focused on the transformation of the purplish-black Energy. It was now suffused with a massive amount of life force as it gathered at the stump of his arm. Soon, a new arm began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, to the shock of both Shen Haoran and Ji Lingxuan, the arm that grew back was not human at all. It was covered in purplish-black scales that shimmered with a cold, eerie light.

Seeing this, Shen Haoran was left speechless. ’My right arm is already an unnatural Qilin Arm,’ he thought wryly. ’And now my left arm is changing too. I just wonder what this one will turn into.’

Shen Haoran calmed his mind, carefully sensing the changes in his body. The purplish-black Energy was not just affecting his left arm; it was tempering every inch of his body. When Shen Haoran awoke again, he would have undergone yet another complete transformation...
