Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique

HISS...

Under the heat of the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian, the Spirit Crystal slowly began to melt away until Shen Haoran’s entire Dantian was filled with a gray, hazy mist of Spiritual Power.

After the Spirit Crystal melted, the Fire Spirit Pearl didn’t stop. Pitch-black flames surged, instantly engulfing Shen Haoran’s entire body as a terrifying heat erupted.

BUBBLE... BUBBLE...

Shen Haoran’s skin flushed red as the terrifying heat brought the Spiritual Power within him to a boil! Yet, his face showed no trace of pain. Instead, he looked like he was enjoying it.

WHOOSH...

After a moment, the black flames seeping from the Fire Spirit Pearl suddenly retracted. A storm of Spiritual Power brewed within Shen Haoran’s Dantian, and the misty Spiritual Power gathered toward the Fire Spirit Pearl. Slowly, with the Fire Spirit Pearl as its core, it condensed into a pitch-black Spirit Crystal!

BOOM!

The moment the pitch-black Spirit Crystal finished forming, a terrifying aura erupted from within Shen Haoran. A visible shockwave of Spiritual Power blasted away the surrounding chaotic Energy, creating a vacuum!

The next moment, Shen Haoran’s eyes snapped open. Two streaks of pitch-black flame flared in his pupils, looking exceptionally dazzling in the dark hall.

Haaa...

Shen Haoran stood up and took a deep breath. His billowing robes gradually settled, clinging to his skin. Sensing his new condition, a look of ecstatic joy spread across his face!

Although his realm of power hadn’t broken through, he could now utterly dominate his former self! The Fire Spirit Pearl had refined every last bit of Spiritual Power in his body!

The quality of the Spiritual Power inside him had now completely surpassed Top Grade, reaching the same level as Heaven and Earth Spirits! And what level were Heaven and Earth Spirits? They were the purest form of Energy in the world. It was no exaggeration to say that Shen Haoran was now a Heaven and Earth Spirit made of flesh and blood!

"How does it feel?" Elder Yan asked, looking at the joyous Shen Haoran.

"I’ve never felt so incredible!" Shen Haoran threw a few punches, the force of the blows creating a series of sonic booms in the air.

"Of course. The complete Fire Spirit Black Obsidian remodels the Spiritual Power in your body. Not even Elder Yan has had this kind of treatment!" Hei Yao said, looking at Shen Haoran with a face full of pride.

Hearing this, Elder Yan shot Hei Yao a look but then turned to Shen Haoran with a gratified expression. ’The Fire Spirit Black Obsidian is refining its master’s Spiritual Power of its own accord. For this kid to make it do something like this... he’s really something else!’

"Since you have obtained the complete Fire Spirit Black Obsidian, it’s time to awaken the Chaos Divine Body!" Hei Yao said to Shen Haoran in a solemn voice.

At these words, Shen Haoran’s playful smile vanished, and his expression turned grave. Refining the complete Fire Spirit Black Obsidian was just the beginning. The real main event was awakening the Chaos Divine Body!

At this thought, Shen Haoran’s heart thrilled with excitement. ’The Chaos Divine Body! The legendary, supreme constitution. Even though the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian can only awaken one-fifth of it, I’m so curious to see what level the awakened Chaos Divine Body will reach.’

"Alright, let’s begin!" Shen Haoran took a deep breath, sat cross-legged once more, and emptied his mind, his Heart Spirit entering his Sea of Consciousness.

Reviewing the method for awakening the Chaos Divine Body in the Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique, Shen Haoran’s gaze hardened. He summoned the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian from its place within the Spirit Crystal—which had been formed from the Fire Spirit Pearl—and guided it with his Heart Spirit, beginning to circulate it along a bizarre pathway.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

As the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian circulated, a series of explosions echoed from within Shen Haoran’s body. After one full cycle, the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian suddenly broke free from his control. It transformed into a Flame Dragon and shot toward his right arm!

The sudden turn of events happened too fast for Shen Haoran to react. By the time he came to his senses, the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian had already dissolved into countless fiery particles, fusing into every cell of his right arm.

Mmph...

A tingling numbness spread through his arm, and Shen Haoran felt as if he couldn’t feel its existence at all!

However, the numbness lasted only an instant. The next moment, a piercing pain shot up from his right arm, causing his face to turn deathly pale in an instant. Beads of sweat as large as peas rolled down his cheeks.

’What’s happening?’ Shen Haoran gritted his teeth. He felt as if his entire right arm was about to be torn apart!

"AH!"

Before Shen Haoran could even process it, an even more bone-deep agony assaulted him, forcing an involuntary scream from his lips.

Hearing Shen Haoran’s tortured scream, Elder Yan’s brow furrowed. He knew better than anyone how tenacious Shen Haoran’s willpower was. ’Just what level of pain could force a scream out of him!’

SQUELCH... SQUELCH...

Shen Haoran’s eyes were half-lidded as he clutched his right arm with his left hand. Watching the muscles and veins on his arm writhe ceaselessly, he was horrified. ’What in the world is going on?’

But there was no answer for him. Elder Yan and Hei Yao watched Shen Haoran’s writhing right arm, and their hearts sank. Not even Elder Yan knew what to expect when someone awakened the true Chaos Divine Body.

The intense pain relentlessly assaulted Shen Haoran’s nerves. He knelt on the ground, his lips bitten so hard they bled freely. Several times he was on the verge of fainting, only to be violently jolted back to consciousness by the piercing agony.

THUD... THUD...

Shen Haoran slammed his fist into the ground again and again, trying to distract himself from the pain in his arm. The hard flagstones of the hall cracked and splintered under the blows, but the pain in his arm didn’t lessen. On the contrary, it grew even more vicious!

"Damn it, stop!" Shen Haoran roared, clutching his right arm.

However, it was all in vain. The muscles on his right arm writhed faster and faster. The next moment, with a deafening bang, Shen Haoran’s right arm exploded. Even the bone, which had been transformed from the Soul-devouring Sword, shattered into dust!

"AH!"

Shen Haoran let out a horrific scream. Blood gushed from the stump as if it were free. Propping himself up with his left hand, his face was utterly drained of color as he panted heavily.

The sudden catastrophe left Elder Yan and Hei Yao stunned!

"What happened? Was the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian a fake?" Elder Yan glared at Hei Yao.

"Impossible. The Fire Spirit Black Obsidian is absolutely real, or it wouldn’t have been able to refine Haoran’s Spiritual Power!" Hei Yao retorted, his brow furrowed.

"Then why did this happen?!" Elder Yan demanded.

"I don’t know. The only explanation is that the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian can’t actually awaken the Chaos Divine Body!" Hei Yao said quietly.

"No... The Fire Spirit Black Obsidian... can awaken the Chaos Divine Body!" Just as Hei Yao finished speaking, Shen Haoran’s voice, trembling with pain, cut in.

The look of pain had vanished from Shen Haoran’s face. Although he was still frighteningly pale, he could feel a strange power slowly awakening within him. It was a power that made one tremble, a power from the ancient Primordial Chaos...
