Chapter 453: Chapter 216: Breakthrough to Dharma Aspect! Unlocking a Talent!

But at Level 2, it could already ignore the weather. With a single thought, a Thunder Tribulation would descend!

More importantly, he could master the Five Thunders and carry out punishment on behalf of the heavens.

This ability was simply too powerful.

Previously, although he had achieved Unity of Heaven and Man—where the heavens were him, and he was the heavens—allowing him to borrow the Power of the Heavenly Dao, its scope had been too broad and lacked specificity.

Now, Dharma King of Lightning (Level 2) gave him that specificity.

Control the Five Thunders and carry out punishment on behalf of the heavens!

This was a sign of the Celestial Dao delegating more of its authority.

’Five Thunders...’

Chen Xuan’s eyes glinted. He looked down at his palm, and with a single thought...

CRACKLE!

Arcs of lightning, like slithering snakes, leaped and flickered in his palm.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—five attributes, emanating five different colors.

An indescribably destructive aura radiated from his palm in waves.

Even without unleashing it, a single glance was enough to make his heart pound.

’The power of these Five Thunders is probably on par with my Unwarranted Heart Fire...’

A smile touched Chen Xuan’s lips, but a sudden thought occurred to him.

’Could these Five Thunders also be a divine seed?’

’If so, that would mean I possess two divine seeds.’

’One of fire!’

’And one of lightning!’

’Excellent. With this, my power will undergo another massive change!’

Chen Xuan glanced at the panel again.

Retribution Points: 923,000.

’Not enough left to break through.’

He retracted the Five Thunders and immediately looked toward Fahong Temple. Then, with a flicker of movement, he joined the search.

The Yun family’s old ancestor, his face a mask of shock, finally snapped back to his senses.

’Could it be that he’s already completely refined the Sacred Origin Heaven Repairing Pill?’

’But isn’t that too fast?’

’Is Chen Xuan a Dharma Aspect now?’

’A twenty-year-old Dharma Aspect?’

Endless, monstrous waves of shock crashed through his mind.

Just then, a low rumble suddenly echoed from the distance, shaking the entire temple.

Chen Xuan’s eyes glinted, and he immediately rushed out.

"Young Hero Chen, quickly! We’ve found something!"

Venerable Great Silence’s shocked voice rang out.

In an instant, Chen Xuan followed the voice deep underground.

It was a hidden chamber deep beneath the earth.

Located hundreds of meters below the surface, the chamber was dim and filled with the stench of blood.

Skeletons were strewn all around.

In front of them was a massive pool of blood.

Bubbles gurgled up from the pool of blood...

In the very center of the bubbling pool, a massive stone fetus stood erect.

The stone fetus had nine orifices and eight apertures, appearing no different from a human.

Its surface was stained a bloody red.

It looked as if it had been irrigated with fresh blood for years...

"This is..."

A strange look appeared on Chen Xuan’s face.

"This stone fetus isn’t from the shallows of the dark; it was brought out from the deepest dark... It must be! It contains a divine spirit, a being rarely seen even once in several thousand years. Fahong Temple is actually nurturing a god!"

Venerable Great Silence’s expression flickered as he spoke rapidly.

"Nurturing a god?"

Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed.

"Yes, I’ve read about this in ancient records. For the divine spirit within to be born, it must be constantly irrigated with fresh blood... Over time, the being inside will incubate. Once it hatches, its power will be terrifyingly unpredictable. More importantly, it is exceptionally fierce, cruel, and bloodthirsty. Once born, it is destined to slaughter everything for countless miles, and an untold number of people will die. A faction once secretly nurtured one of these things. In the end, not only were they all slaughtered, but they also brought disaster upon the entire shallow darkness, leading to the brutal deaths of countless people. It was an absolute, terrifying nightmare. And now, someone is nurturing this thing again..."

A look of terror crossed Venerable Great Silence’s face.

"Is that so?"

Chen Xuan’s face darkened as he glanced at the blood pool before him.

"A demonic thing like this is worthy of being born?"

His eyes turned ice-cold as he struck out with his palm.

BOOM!

With a loud bang, the blood pool surged violently as waves of energy rolled out.

But the stone fetus didn’t budge an inch!

"It’s no use! I already tried attacking it. This stone fetus is incredibly bizarre. Even striking it with my Dharma Realm True Essence does absolutely nothing! We can only seal it and hope to delay its birth. That damned Fahong Temple! How dare they cultivate something so dangerous! Aren’t they afraid of the backlash?!"

Venerable Great Silence cursed repeatedly.

"Can’t damage it?"

Chen Xuan’s eyes grew cold. "I don’t think so," he said. "You can’t damage it because you’re not strong enough!"

RUMBLE!

He made a grabbing motion with his hand, unleashing a localized Heaven and Earth technique. His palm swelled to the size of a house and yanked the stone fetus right out of the blood pool.

A wave of concentrated, venomous hatred instantly radiated from within the stone fetus.

The waves of venomous aura caused Chen Xuan’s Indestructible Fist Intent (Level 2) to react instantly, sending countless ripples through his mind.

The ripples were larger than any he had ever felt before.

Even those whose entire families he had slaughtered had not directed such immense malice at him.

It felt as if a Category 9 tsunami was raging through his mind.

"You dare to hate me?"

Chen Xuan’s heart turned to ice as the power of the Five Thunders surged forth.

RUMBLE!

Five bolts of different-colored lightning immediately blasted from his palm, slamming into the stone fetus’s body. A series of deep thuds echoed out, and sharp screams finally erupted from within the stone fetus.

"AAAAH!"

It seemed the creature inside truly felt the pain.

The stone fetus struggled, but its body was not yet fully formed. Gripped tightly by Chen Xuan, it found it incredibly difficult to even move.

The terrifying, pure-yang power of the Five Thunders relentlessly bombarded the inside of the stone fetus.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth exploded in succession.

The waves of indescribable destructive energy made Venerable Great Silence’s expression change once more.

’Yama Chen’s power is terrifying,’ he thought. ’What kind of Secret Technique is this? To wield the power of a heavenly tribulation in his palm... It’s too bizarre!’

His mind was in turmoil.

Facing those brilliant flashes of lightning, even he couldn’t help the hairs on his arms standing on end.

It felt as though he were facing the glorious might of the heavens itself.

CRACK! CRACK!

The once-solid stone fetus was now becoming covered in a web of cracks...

A voice echoed from within, "Human, if you kill me, you will be condemned by the heavens! The powers of the deep dark will not spare you..."

"Condemned by the heavens?"

Chen Xuan sneered. "Rest assured, even if your entire family is condemned by the heavens, I won’t be!"

There was absolutely no reason for something like this to be born!

It would slaughter the world the moment it was born.

It would throw the universe into chaos!

Chen Xuan could find no reason not to kill it.

Especially given the sheer malice radiating from it.

It was as intense as a super-tsunami.

More intense than that of anyone he had ever encountered.

’If I let this thing escape, won’t I face endless trouble in the future?’

Death was its only possible fate.

"Perish!"

Chen Xuan grunted, and the Five Thunders in his palm grew even more terrifying.

At the same time, his other giant palm shot out, suffused with his Unwarranted Heart Fire, and crushed down on the creature’s body.

The two giant palms slammed together with crushing force.

"AAAAH!"

The sharp screams from within the stone fetus grew even more piercing.

A sinister, purplish-red fluid began to ooze from all over the stone fetus.

But the malice radiating from it only grew more terrifying.

It was as if it didn’t even know what fear was.

It was born to destroy, born to slaughter.

Even knowing it would die, its hatred remained boundless.

Hating the heavens, hating the earth, hating every living being in the world...
