Chapter 390 Fifth-Order Golden Crystal, Spatial Divine Power
A massive stream of data swept across his vision. The cultivation method of the fifth-order Vajra Technique, the process of merging and integrating the Golden Crystal Marrow, and the original Dao essence of the fifth-order Vajra Indestructible Divine Power were frantically engraved into Chen Yi's divine soul at this moment. The arrangement of the Golden Crystal Marrow and the original Dao essence within the Vajra Marrow began to undergo earth-shattering changes within his body!
The arrangement of truly high-level Golden Crystal Marrow, the evolution and cultivation direction of the Golden Crystal Origin, including how the true Dao essence of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Power was condensed, were now completely revealed to Chen Yi through his Yin-Yang Divine Sense and Void-Penetrating Spiritual Eye, including during his system's absorption and analysis.
It can be said that in this close battle with Kudu, especially after the victory, Kudu truly revealed everything.
The mystery of the fifth-order golden crystal origin revealed during the process of transforming into the indestructible Vajra relic was the greatest gain Chen Yi had ever made since he began practicing Vajra Kung Fu.
Chen Yi has truly grasped the gateway to cultivating the Vajra Skill to the fifth level of the Divine Transformation realm!
It's a bit of a shame that Chen Yi is now seriously overdrawn.
That final strike almost exhausted the remaining spatial origin power within the Sky-Stabilizing Silver Hammer. Even with his current peak fourth-tier divine soul strength, he was nearly drained completely in an instant.
The divine soul power that was originally as vast as an ocean in the sea of consciousness has now almost reached its bottom, leaving only a shallow depression;
An intense feeling of exhaustion, accompanied by waves of tearing pain in the meridians, spread throughout the body: every inch of flesh and nerves was groaning in despair.
Chen Yi gritted his teeth. At this moment, the only thing he could rely on was his body, which had been tempered and refined through countless trials, to endure the ordeal.
The spatial transformation technique he had just used, especially the moment when he successfully "locked" Kudu, who was also a fourth-level body cultivator, and completed the spatial swap first, almost exhausted all of Chen Yi's divine soul and magic power.
He quickly replayed the entire exchange in his mind:
At the very moment of the Bitter Crossing, that needle-sized spatial node flashed by in the gap where the Vajra Origin was surging.
Chen Yi seized this fleeting opportunity, forcefully slamming the remaining power of the Fixed Void Silver Hammer into the node, forcibly distorting the rules of space, and completing the exchange of positions between the two.
This move requires precise timing of the subtle gap in Kudu's physical exertion; if it is even a fraction earlier, Kudu will be able to detect it and use his Vajra essence to deflect the power of the silver hammer.
If it had been a minute later, Chen Yi would have been instantly killed by that furious Vajra Palm print.
The two sides switched positions in the blink of an eye. The violent distortion of the spatial rules made Chen Yi's body seem to be torn into countless thin threads, and then pieced back together on the other side.
This almost soul-tearing sensation was nearly unbearable even with his current foundation.
Although he succeeded by taking advantage of the fact that Kudu was completely unprepared, it can be considered the highest level of spatial supernatural power application that Chen Yi has ever used so far.
Even with Kudu on high alert, Chen Yi knew it would be nearly impossible to replicate the scene at this moment.
"I must understand the underlying principles of this technique—this is the perfect opportunity for me to greatly improve my spatial abilities!"
Chen Yi endured the excruciating pain in his soul and repeatedly deduced the events within his sea of consciousness.
Every frame of the battle just now replayed in my divine sense: the trajectory of the Bitter Crossing Vajra's origin, the ripples in space, and every fluctuation of the power output of the Fixed Void Silver Hammer —
He clearly remembered the angle at which the spatial rift tilted when the silver hammer struck, and the slight delay—half a beat—when Kudu turned around.
That half-beat is the difference between life and death.
As for these profound supernatural abilities involving spatial penetration and practical application, Chen Yi knew that he still needed to calmly and repeatedly comprehend and refine them until they were transformed into an almost instinctive "innate supernatural ability," rather than relying solely on luck.
For this reason, his soul essence was greatly depleted at the moment, and he also had no time to digest and absorb the fifth-order Void Thunder Soul Talisman that he had forcibly swallowed into his body through the connection of soul thunder essence.
The Void Thunder Soul Talisman was currently thrashing about in his soul, each impact bringing a scorching, numbing sensation of lightning.
Chen Yi barely managed to activate the last wisp of his divine soul power, temporarily suppressing and sealing it in a corner of his divine soul.
If one were to be distracted by the refining process at this point, it would surely lead to certain death.
He slowly withdrew his consciousness into his sea of consciousness, guarding the last bit of clarity, while his gaze penetrated the shallow gaps in the void to observe the outside world.
Kudu was still struggling to shrink the remaining Vajra essence, and rays of golden light rolled back from all directions, condensing into a "Vajra Indestructible Relic" with flowing Sanskrit characters and shimmering golden light, desperately protecting the flickering spiritual light of the soul within it.
The surface of the relic is covered with layers of Sanskrit characters that intertwine like chains, forming a multi-layered defensive array.
However, the illusory creature was already hovering around the golden light, opening its mouth to spew out gray-black mist. The mist made a "sizzling" corrosive sound when it touched the golden light. It suddenly bit into the outer layer of golden light of the relic, forcibly tearing off a piece of golden light and swallowing it into its belly. Its body swelled up, and the scales on its body stood up. Under each scale, hundreds or thousands of dark eyes opened, all staring at the core of the relic.
The light of Kudu's consciousness flickered in the center of the relic. He struggled, but was trapped by the space and could not fight back. He could only rely on his own Vajra relic essence to protect the last glimmer of his consciousness.
Chen Yi stared at the creatures of the void as they greedily tore at each other, and he already had the idea of leaving.
Currently, with his soul exhausted and his physical body nearing its limit, he is in no condition to deal with that creature from the void.
As for completely devouring the fifth-order golden crystal essence of the Bitter Deity, it is necessary to wait until its consciousness and spiritual light are completely worn away. However, it is unknown whether the fifth-order golden crystal relic will still remain at that time.
However, Chen Yi was already satisfied with his current gains, and he could not possibly resolve all the issues with the Void Realm creatures and the Golden Crystal Relics of Bitterness at once.
As for the final consciousness of the suffering being, let the beings of this void decide.
Anyway, since the Nascent Soul cultivators cannot personally visit this ancient battlefield in the short term, he still has time.
Once he's fully recovered, he can return once more, as long as he ensures that the illusory creature truly wears down the consciousness of the Bitter Deity.
Behind him, the fixed-air silver hammer floated silently.
At this moment, most of the spatial origin power in the silver hammer has been consumed. This treasure of the Silver Spirit Clan, which has been worn down over tens of thousands of years and already has little remaining, is even more severely damaged after forcibly activating the spatial transformation attack.
Chen Yi reached out and grasped the hammer handle, and there was no more spatial fluctuation.
To restore its former power, it would likely require hundreds of years of meticulous nurturing.
"Let's return this hammer to the Silver Spirit Clan after we get out of here. Consider it a favor, and it will also fulfill the promise we made to Silver Horn."
Meanwhile, the three outside only saw Kudu and Chen Yi exchange several top-level offensive and defensive maneuvers in a short period of time at a speed faster than lightning.
Each collision between the lightning and golden light tore hundreds of jagged cracks in space; the aftershocks of any dodge or attack by the two were enough to seriously injure a late-stage fourth-order cultivator or even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Silver Horn stood at the edge of the battle circle, glancing down at the aftershock that swept across the deep trench carved in the ground. He felt a chill in his heart—if he had been even half a step closer, his arm would probably be lost.
Before Yin Yan could even marvel at Chen Yi's formidable strength, which allowed him to withstand several blows from Ku Du without dying, he saw Chen Yi forced by Ku Du to tear open a spatial rift and escape into the shallow layer of the void.
Kudu's divine essence erupted, its dazzling golden light completely overpowering the silver light, and it followed closely behind, penetrating the rift—and in one fell swoop, it created several layers of overlapping space!
The two figures flashed briefly in the first level of space before disappearing into the depths of the second level.
Outside, the three of them probed with their divine senses, only to touch a void. The killing power contained within made it impossible for them to perceive the battle situation inside.
From the initial astonishment that Chen Yi could withstand several moves from Ku Du, to Ku Du completely unleashing his Nascent Soul essence and chasing him into the void, to the present moment when Chen Yi's fate is uncertain—everything happened in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the shallow layer of the void has returned to deathly silence, and the silver hammer that had been pinned here for tens of thousands of years has also disappeared without a trace.
Only the terrifying spatial ripples that had just erupted deep within the multi-layered space still caused lingering tremors when they struck the barrier of the secret realm, followed by an endless, chilling silence.
Silver Horn looked at Silver Flame, and seeing that he remained silent for a long time, he finally couldn't help but secretly transmit his voice, saying with a hint of complaint: "Ancestor, you shouldn't have taken that half step back when that monk erupted just now."
Fellow Daoist Chen is facing immense pressure alone and is now in dire straits. What if, after he emerges, he discovers that you have failed to keep your promise to defend against all external enemies and have not returned the Sky-Stabilizing Silver Hammer?
Yin Yan slowly shook his head and replied telepathically, "That Ku Du is a Nascent Soul clone who cannot suppress the fifth-order origin. It would be unwise to fight him head-on at this time. If my clone perishes here, our overall plan, which has been in the works for many years and is using the Black Mountain Secret Realm to travel to the Great Green Realm, will be affected."
You should be aware of how long the Great Qing Realm plan has been in preparation.
To sacrifice a clone in a moment of impulsiveness will hinder subsequent resource competition and the stability of the passage. The Black Mountain Secret Realm is merely a stepping stone; the Great Green Realm is the true target.
If our clones are destroyed, let alone competing for resources, even our own survival will be in question.
He looked toward the shallow layer of the void and continued, "As for Chen Yi, since he has been targeted by Kudu, and now that the two of them are trapped in the shallow layer of the void, the outcome is probably not optimistic."
Your desperate act of shielding him from a blow from behind was unwise; you only suffered serious injury for nothing.
Look at your current condition: you are deficient in qi and blood, your meridians are damaged, and you can't even lift your right arm.
If other dangers arise, how will we withstand them? In this state, we will only become a burden.
Yin Yan withdrew his gaze, looked at Yin Jiao, and said in a deep voice: "Remember, when you are in danger, the first priority is to protect yourself."
Only by staying alive can all plans have meaning.
Silver Horn simply shook his head, but his tone was incredibly confident: "Senior Chen will definitely be able to handle this difficulty properly."
He cast his light into the depths of the void where the lingering echoes of spatial fluctuations still remained, his voice calm yet resolute: "Opportunities often come unexpectedly, and hesitation will cause you to miss them. I have never regretted shielding Senior Chen from that blow, no matter what."
He simply didn't believe Chen Yi would perish inside.
The two held opposing views and found it difficult to persuade each other. At this moment, they could only stand side by side and silently await the final outcome.
Yin Yan stood with his hands behind his back, but he felt a little disappointed in his chosen family heir—he had simply lost his mind.
What level of cultivation does the ascetic monk possess? Even if it's just his clone unleashing his trump card, how could Chen Yi possibly handle it? Moreover, there are also unpredictable and treacherous creatures lurking in the shallow layers of the void.
Who knows, by this time, Chen Yi might already be nothing but bones.
After a long while, the void ahead remained deathly silent.
Just as Yin Yan was about to speak to make Yin Jiao give up completely, a circle of silver spatial ripples suddenly spread out from where the Fixed Void Silver Hammer had been.
The ripples spread out in layers, tearing fine cracks into the surrounding void.
The next moment, a blood-stained foot stepped out from nothingness, and then a figure with tattered robes and covered in blood staggered into existence.
It is Chen Yi.
His shoulder was a bloody mess, and half of his body had its flesh turned outwards, revealing the stark white bones.
His spiritual fluctuations were as weak as a candle flickering in the wind, and his magical power was almost exhausted. Even standing in mid-air, he seemed about to collapse.
It was utterly tragic.
Chen Yi gasped for breath, his body swayed, and he almost fell from mid-air.
"Chen Lang!"
Ning Bu'er's expression changed drastically, and he moved with lightning speed, catching the man's body as he was about to fall.
"How are you? What about Monk Kudu?" Her voice trembled slightly, full of undisguised concern.
Silver Flame, the patriarch of the Silver Spirit Clan, suddenly narrowed his eyes, unable to hide the astonishment on his face.
They actually survived?
He stared intently at Chen Yi, trying to find any flaw in him—this was completely illogical!
Given the power that Monk Kudu unleashed earlier, how could he possibly have let this kid escape? Could it be—some other variable has occurred? Is it that creature from the Void Realm?
When Silver Horn saw Chen Yi appear, the worry on his face immediately disappeared, and a great weight was lifted from his heart.
Sure enough! His desperate attempt to block that attack hadn't been in vain; Chen Yi had indeed returned safely—proving that his judgment had been correct.
"Senior Chen." Silver Horn stepped forward quickly.
Chen Yi leaned against Ning Bu'er, weakly coughing up a few mouthfuls of bloody foam, his voice hoarse and intermittent: "This battle—was too dangerous."
Ning Bu'er unconsciously tightened his fingers, his fingertips turning slightly white.
"I almost—died inside," Chen Yi gasped as he continued to explain.
Yin Yan unconsciously pricked up his ears, afraid of missing even a single word.
"It's all because of that ascetic monk—he was too greedy." Chen Yi took a breath before continuing, "He tried to forcibly seize the Sky-Stabilizing Silver Hammer, but inadvertently triggered the attack of the Void Realm creatures."
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, looking as if he still had lingering fear: "That creature from the void was truly terrifying—Kudu was locked up by it and couldn't escape at all."
"I took advantage of their entanglement and used all my remaining strength to barely escape."
His words implied that he was completely on the defensive and had no chance to fight back. He only managed to survive because the creatures of the Void Realm subdued Kudu.
Let's just gloss over it for now.
This ancient battlefield in the secret realm is full of variables; only by concealing one's strengths can one survive.
He has already obtained the fifth-order Void Thunder Soul Talisman inheritance of the Thunder Soul Sect, and the strongest strike of the Fixed Void Silver Hammer has been imprinted in his soul. He only needs to study it further before he can master it. He has also figured out the cultivation direction of the fifth-order Golden Crystal Origin. The clone of Kudu has also been dealt with. He has already obtained many benefits. The reputation of killing Kudu is no longer important to him. The specific details of the battle must never be revealed to outsiders.
Blaming everything on the creatures of the virtual world is the safest way to cover it up.
After all, if the true form of the Bitter Deity were to investigate the cause and effect of the demise of his clones in the outside world, he would need to take precautions in advance.
