Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique

Chapter 245: Qilin Arm, Vermilion Bird Wings!

THUMP...

With a muffled thud, countless black flames erupted from the stump of Shen Haoran’s arm, slowly coalescing into the shape of a new limb. As this fiery arm took shape, Shen Haoran’s brow furrowed tightly once again. The stump felt as if it were being gnawed on by a swarm of ants, an utterly excruciating sensation!

Fortunately, the agonizing sensation did not last long. A moment later, with another muffled sound, the black flames on Shen Haoran’s newly formed arm burst apart, and a jet-black arm reappeared before everyone.

’This...’ Staring at the jet-black arm, Shen Haoran’s face darkened. The color was in stark contrast to his left arm, making it look as if it had been scorched. ’How can I possibly show this to anyone?’

However, just as Shen Haoran was examining his new arm, a strange sensation arose from within his body. The power from the Primordial Chaos he had sensed earlier, as if answering a summons, began to surge frantically into his new, jet-black arm.

CRACK... CRACK...

A series of strange cracking sounds emanated from Shen Haoran’s right arm. The next moment, before his shocked eyes, it began to expand!

HSSSS...

As the right arm expanded, its black surface began to fracture, inch by inch. Cracks spread across it, revealing a crimson, magma-like fluid flowing within! Wisps of scorching heat escaped from the fissures.

WHOOSH...

Black flames also billowed up from the arm, making it resemble a piece of red-hot charcoal. The cracks segmented the flesh into diamond-shaped plates of muscle, with crimson magma flowing continuously between them. The sight was utterly soul-shaking!

’This... What in the world is this thing?’ Shen Haoran stared at the jet-black arm, now several times its original size. A terrifying sense of power emanated from it. He felt that a single punch from this arm could shatter mountains, perhaps even move mountains and fill seas!

"Hah!" Unable to hold back any longer, Shen Haoran threw a punch at the Stone Pillar behind him.

BOOM!

The next moment, the terrifying force of his punch swept past. Before Shen Haoran’s shocked eyes, the Stone Pillar exploded violently. Countless fragments of stone flew everywhere, and the entire hall seemed to begin to shake!

’Such... such terrifying power!’ Shen Haoran swallowed hard. ’If the shockwave alone was that tyrannical, what would happen if it landed squarely on a person?’ At this thought, Shen Haoran’s eyes burned with excitement.

However, while the arm’s power was immense, its Spiritual Power consumption was equally terrifying. That single, casual punch had devoured a quarter of the Spiritual Power in his body!

’Is this the awakened Chaos Divine Body?’ Shen Haoran wondered in his heart, carefully studying the terrifying-looking arm.

"The Qilin Arm! That’s the Qilin Arm!" Hei Yao exclaimed after seeing Shen Haoran’s arm, his face filled with shock!

"The Qilin Arm? What’s that?" Elder Yan asked curiously, staring at Shen Haoran’s massive arm.

"Do you know how the Five Elements Celestial Spirits were born? Long before the Pangu Giant God performed the Creation of Heaven and Earth, a Divine Beast existed in this world, and its name was the Qilin! The Qilin possessed the Five Elements Attribute and reigned over the world of Primordial Chaos. But later, for reasons unknown, the Qilin betrayed its own convictions and aided the Pangu Giant God in the Creation of Heaven and Earth. From then on, heaven and earth were separated, the Chaos vanished, and the Five Elements appeared. The Qilin, having exhausted its power, faded away. Its head and four limbs transformed into the Five Elements Spirits, scattering throughout the world! And I, the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian, was formed from the Qilin’s right arm. I never imagined that upon awakening his Chaos Divine Body, Shen Haoran would actually unlock the Qilin Arm!" Hei Yao explained, his voice trembling with shock.

"Does this mean the first wielder of the Chaos Divine Body was the Divine Beast Qilin, and not the Pangu Giant God?" Elder Yan said, equally shocked. This was news that completely shattered his worldview. ’Why have I never heard Hei Yao mention this before?’

"The Qilin Arm... It hasn’t been seen in millions of years. To think it would be unlocked in this boy!" A world-weary look flashed in Hei Yao’s eyes as he gazed at Shen Haoran’s right arm and murmured.

"So how do I retract this thing? I can’t go out with it looking like this. People will treat me like a lab rat and want to study me!" Shen Haoran said with a wry smile, stroking the arm’s uneven surface.

"The Qilin Arm moves with your will. You can conceal it," Hei Yao stated calmly.

Hearing this, Shen Haoran closed his eyes and focused his mind on the Qilin Arm. With a single thought, the massive arm began to squirm and shift. The next moment, it had returned to its normal size, and its color had become normal as well.

"How amazing!" Shen Haoran exclaimed once more, looking at his restored arm. He hadn’t expected that awakening just one-fifth of the Chaos Divine Body would unlock the Qilin Arm.

"Among the Heaven and Earth Spirits, the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian is the representative of power. That is why the Qilin Arm’s power is so terrifying. When mastered to the stage of Great Success, it can even destroy heaven and earth!" Hei Yao explained.

Hearing this, Shen Haoran glanced again at his own slender arm, as if he could already see heaven and earth shattering to pieces with a swing of his arm!

Watching the excited Shen Haoran, Hei Yao chuckled softly, then his expression grew serious.

"Shen Haoran, you have unlocked the Qilin Arm and in doing so, have awakened the true Chaos Divine Body. I will give you another gift, but I must ask one thing of you in return!"

"Oh? What is it?" Seeing Hei Yao’s solemn expression, Shen Haoran also let his smile fade. He knew that if the Spiritual Wisdom of the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian was asking him for a favor, it certainly wouldn’t be a simple matter.

"I only hope that when a calamity befalls this world, you will fight with all your strength to save it!" Hei Yao said in a somber voice.

"A calamity?" Upon hearing this, Shen Haoran’s brow furrowed tightly.

"I’ll try," Shen Haoran didn’t agree completely. He wasn’t some Saint who was concerned with righteousness for all heaven and earth. But if he could help, he wouldn’t just stand by and watch. He would try with all his might.

"Then I thank you in advance!" Hearing Shen Haoran agree, Hei Yao nodded in satisfaction.

"Then accept my gift!" Hei Yao chuckled. Then, wisps of black flame abruptly appeared on his body!

"Elder Hei, you..." Seeing this, Elder Yan cried out in alarm. Hei Yao was burning his own Spiritual Wisdom!

"Elder Yan, as the Spiritual Wisdom of a Heaven and Earth Spirit, I must naturally take responsibility for this world. In the past century, this world has become increasingly unstable. I’m afraid something major is about to happen. I see hope in Shen Haoran. Perhaps he is the key to this calamity," Hei Yao said softly to Elder Yan.

Then, Hei Yao turned his head and said to Shen Haoran, "This gift I’m giving you is called the Vermilion Bird Wings! I hope you remember your promise from today!"

"Senior!" Shen Haoran’s heart shook as he watched Hei Yao sacrifice himself to fulfill his duty to the world. He bowed and said, "Senior, rest assured. As long as I have a single breath left in me, I will absolutely fulfill my promise to the very end!"

"Haha, your words are enough!" Hei Yao laughed heartily.

WHOOSH...

The black flames on Hei Yao’s body burned more and more fiercely, finally consuming him. Then, he transformed into a streak of light that shot straight into Shen Haoran’s body...
