Chapter 556 - 237: Chaos War Body, Splitting the Earth and Opening the Heavens
Chapter 556: Chapter 237: Chaos War Body, Splitting the Earth and Opening the Heavens
A frenzied torrent of energy poured back into his body. Lin Ye’s entire frame trembled, unable to withstand the force.
But his mind was clearer than ever before.
Fast!
Too fast!
The Chaos Qi Formulas’ efficiency at guiding Source Energy was more than five times stronger than the Tai Xu Two Principles True Understanding he had previously cultivated!
The Source Energy Particles that were once untouchable and unabsorbable were now as docile as lambs, surging into his body.
However, despite such a massive influx of Source Energy, the progress bar representing experience points on his system panel didn’t budge an inch.
Lin Ye wasn’t surprised.
He knew very well that the first, and most perilous, step of mastering this Cultivation Technique was not yet complete.
Reconstructing his foundation!
He took a deep breath, cast aside all distracting thoughts, and endured the agony of his meridians being stretched to their breaking point by the frenzied energy. Following the guidance of the Cultivation Technique’s main principles, he began to manipulate this nascent Qi of Chaos.
Target: The Dantian Qi Sea!
BOOM!
The Qi of Chaos, forcibly forged from countless Source Energy Particles of different attributes, was like an ancient beast that had broken its chains. It roared as it slammed headfirst into his once-tranquil Dantian Qi Sea!
Lin Ye’s body shuddered violently, and the veins on his temples bulged!
He felt as if his Dantian had been injected with molten lava; his entire lower abdomen became scorching hot.
The originally brilliant, golden Gang Sha was instantly washed away by this surge of the Qi of Chaos.
But this was only the beginning.
Lin Ye gritted his teeth, his mind completely focused. He forcefully guided the Qi of Chaos—not to pacify it, but to expand it!
Under the dual influence of his will and the Cultivation Technique, his Dantian Qi Sea began to expand outward in a frenzied, physics-defying manner!
A tearing sensation arose from the most minute level, like countless needles piercing him simultaneously.
Even with his willpower, Lin Ye couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.
He glanced at his system panel out of the corner of his eye.
In just those few seconds of expansion, his Life Value had plummeted at an alarming rate, evaporating by over a hundred thousand points in the blink of an eye!
Lin Ye finally understood why the entry requirement for this Cultivation Technique was a Life Value as high as two hundred thousand.
Any other normal prodigy would have likely collapsed at this step.
The expansion of his Dantian had reached its limit.
It was like a balloon inflated to its absolute limit, its surface covered in countless fine cracks.
Lin Ye steeled himself.
Instead of backing down, he funneled all the Qi of Chaos surging into his body directly into his Dantian, which was already on the verge of shattering!
A soft sound, as if from the depths of his soul, echoed.
The excruciating pain he’d expected from his Dantian shattering—agony that would make any Martial Artist wish for death—never came.
Instead, a peculiar feeling of emptiness took its place.
Lin Ye clearly felt his Dantian Qi Sea, the foundation that held all his cultivation, completely rupture at that moment!
It didn’t explode into a violent burst of energy. Instead, enveloped by the Qi of Chaos, it was silently annihilated.
It was as if it had never existed.
The spot where his Dantian used to be had become a profound void.
Nothing existed there, and yet, it was as if everything existed there!
As for the golden Gang Sha originally stored in his Qi Sea, it didn’t dissipate after losing its "nest." Instead, under the constant washing and assimilation of the Qi of Chaos, it gradually shed its original gold and was dyed a deep, ink-black.
By this point in the process, the pain had actually subsided.
A tidal wave of shock crashed through Lin Ye’s mind.
’These Chaos Qi Formulas... they’re truly this domineering!’
In the path of martial cultivation, the Dantian is the root and the meridians are the paths. This was an immutable, ironclad law.
Yet this Cultivation Technique did the exact opposite—its very first step was to destroy one’s own foundation!
According to the subsequent descriptions in the technique, upon reaching the minor completion stage, the Cultivator would no longer have a Dantian, no meridians, and even the so-called vital acupoints of the body would cease to exist.
At that point, the Martial Artist’s own body would become a primordial, unformed chaos!
’No wonder this Cultivation Technique was considered a top-tier evil technique, a surefire path to suicide, for so long!’
’If not for the precedent of someone successfully cultivating it before, Zhu Mingyi probably would never have given it to me to practice.’
Lin Ye tried to circulate the now ink-black Gang Sha within his body.
He felt a distinct sense of sluggishness, but he didn’t panic.
He could sense that this sluggishness was only because his body had yet to adapt to this new way of circulating power.
As he tried again and again, the feeling of stagnation quickly vanished.
In its place was an unprecedented smoothness and speed!
Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes.
Only then did he realize that, at some unknown point, he was the only one left in the cultivation room. Mr. Su was long gone.
He walked out of the cultivation room. The corridor outside was empty. Even the top-tier cultivation rooms next to his, which had been packed with people, now all had "Under Maintenance" signs hanging on them.
Through the window at the end of the corridor, Lin Ye saw that the sky outside was already a deep night, dotted with stars.
He froze for a moment.
’I clearly remember it was eight in the morning when I entered the cultivation room.’
’It felt like only an hour or so had passed.’
’I can’t believe it’s already night!’
Lin Ye assessed the state of his body. Aside from the peculiar sense of emptiness from his vanished Dantian, there was nothing wrong.
