Chapter 3317 - 1252: Mid-stage Divinity Transformation, Devouring the Vermilion Bird (2)

As a meritorious figure acting on behalf of the heavens, and just at the moment of a successful breakthrough.

This world therefore granted Luo Chen the greatest "reward".

This reward could not be described as lacking, it arrived at just the right time, enough to allow Luo Chen to steady his current realm and even progress further.

Without any hesitation, Luo Chen began to inhale deeply.

Like a storm, the energy conglomerate transformed into a tornado and was absorbed by him, mouthful by mouthful.

For an ordinary Divine Transformation Cultivator, no matter how talented, such reckless absorption would be inadvisable.

But Luo Chen was utterly fearless!

Bearing two formidable physiques, the Chaos Undying Body and the Five Elements Dao Body, he could withstand all the energy coming to him.

Moreover, this was Heaven’s gifts.

As the vast energy entered his body, the began to circulate, quickly refining and absorbing.

Qi power imprinted with Luo Chen’s mark was spontaneously generated, the entire process running smoothly.

Meanwhile, his realm rapidly stabilized during this process and continuously ascended.

Half a year passed.

A silhouette slowly opened its eyes.

The breath upon his body had undergone an earth-shaking transformation.

"Mid-stage of Divinity Transformation!"

"Whew..."

Luo Chen expelled a turbid breath, satisfaction gleaming in his eyes.

After thoroughly absorbing that massive energy conglomerate, his realm skipped the need of stabilizing the early stage of Divinity Transformation, advancing directly to the mid-stage.

This realm is astonishing when considering a mere hundred years of cultivation in the Mystic Realm.

However, with Luo Chen’s current lifespan nearing twelve hundred years, it seemed merely ordinary.

What he truly valued now was not these minor realm advancements.

But the comprehension of various laws and the Great Dao Path.

Upon comprehending the Origin of Wood, the Five Elements Dao Body became even more complete.

This was not an illusion!

During the past half-year of absorbing and refining the storm-like massive energy, the Five Elements Dao Body played a crucial role.

Originally expected to take longer, it ultimately took only half a year.

Thus, the truly complete Five Elements Dao Body demonstrated an unbelievable efficiency in refining various Spirit Qi.

Additionally, the arduously construed Destruction Law.

"No! This is no longer just the Law’s True Intent, it’s become an independent Dao path!"

Luo Chen gazed at the void.

The Attribute Panel had long been unfolded, and under the laws section, clearly stated the words [Destruction Path].

Hence, its uniqueness is obvious.

Unfortunately, now is not the time or place for him to study this Dao path.

Luo Chen frowned as he looked at the sky, golden light remained suffused, illuminating the entire Dark Demon Cave perfectly.

It had been a full six months since the Holy Demon’s Left Hand crossed realms.

Why hasn’t the Tianyuan Daoist Sect taken any action yet?

No one has been sent in, nor has anyone been sent out, as if nothing had happened.

"No matter what, this place isn’t suitable for long stays, it’s been time to leave."

Luo Chen rose tall, ready to depart.

Yet just as he was about to leave, his heart suddenly moved, eyes turning toward a few directions.

"Oh, there’s such a treasure here, I was too focused on cultivation earlier to notice, but you’ve discovered it."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, opened his mouth, and gently exhaled.

Instantly, a patchwork of heterogenous azure light flew out, transforming into a wisp of flames, hesitating conspicuously in front of Luo Chen.

"Go on, don’t waste it!"

As he spoke, the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits Fire eagerly flew forth, seemingly having found some kind of nourishment.

Indeed, it was nourishment!

At this moment, amid the central plains of the transformed Central Demon Abyss, there were seven solitary clusters of crimson flames dispersed across the land.

Each cluster contained extremely powerful forces, even encompassing a fierce consciousness.

Vermilion Bird Divine Fire!

Luo Chen picked one, concentrating his gaze.

This was evidently the Original Divine Fire differentiated by True Monarch Zhu Que, specifically used to incinerate those Refining Void Demon Spirits, preventing their regeneration.

Now it was a boon for Luo Chen.

But inexplicably, upon close examination, Luo Chen felt a sense of familiarity.

Abruptly!

"Land of Fallen Demons, Blazing Refinement Prison, Vermilion Bird Mountain!"

At last, Luo Chen identified the source of familiarity.

In his youth, he once ventured with companions to explore the Land of Fallen Demons, seeking the chance for Nascent Soul Formation.

There, he had occasionally discovered within a Fire Attribute Spiritual Land, a potent Sourceless Fire, already possessing weak Spirit Intelligence.

At that time, Tai Sui called it Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire, yet now comparing with the Vermilion Bird True Monarch’s Original Divine Fire, the two seemed to be of the same origin?

Luo Chen’s thoughts wandered, memories surged forth.

According to Tai Sui, in the initial setup of Five Elements Heaven by Refining Heaven Demon Monarch, the Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire was absent.

That Fire Spirit instead appeared after the fall of Refining Heaven Demon Monarch.

In other words, that Fire Spirit was likely obtained by Refining Heaven Demon Monarch before his fall, sealed within the Blazing Refinement Prison. A thousand years after his demise, Luo Chen and others entered, only to witness the Fire Spirit’s birth.

Then, was that Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire precisely the cluster of Original Divine Fire differentiated by True Monarch Zhu Que like at present?

Luo Chen harbored some conjectures, yet his expression remained unchanged.

"Quickly consume, then return to the Purple Mansion, without leaking the slightest breath!"

Luo Chen instructed the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits Fire, then he dispersed his divine perception, Qi power transformed into large hands, reaching out to various locations.

This Demon Abyss had long been existent, the essence of the Dark Demon Cave.

Valuable things here were not solely the leftovers of True Monarch Zhu Que.

Soon, specks of Liuguang returned with the large hands of Qi power, floating before Luo Chen.

Countless Demon Marrow Drill!

Containing pure and vast demonic qi, top grade Demon Crystals!

And various unidentified ores, along with some demonic realm herbs Luo Chen could barely name.

These were remnants surviving from past battles.

For the current Luo Chen, they counted as additional gains.

Their specific uses weren’t a priority now, plans could be made later.

Once the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits Fire returned fully satiated, Luo Chen no longer hesitated, immediately altered his appearance.

His face became younger, resembling a youth.

His figure also heightened several inches.

Even his temperament and poise became more spirited.

Just as the previous visage of Xuan Luo!

Having completed all these, Luo Chen unveiled the mana fluctuation of a Middle Stage Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, briskly departing the battlefield.

...

A silhouette flew neither fast nor slow across the sky of the Dark Demon Cave.

It was Luo Chen.

As he flew, his eyes intermittently glanced below.

Unlike the prior dark and greenish expanse, though battle traces remained, the ground had begun to sprout various commonplace Mystic Realm flora.

Flowers bloomed beautifully, trees stood tall.

Clear springs flowed, Spirit Qi was abundant.

A captivating scene of life thriving everywhere.

Through the remaining traces of battle, Luo Chen could broadly deduce the occurrences in these places.

Likely the handiwork of True Monarch Zhu Que.

Before entering the Central Demon Abyss, she had swept across the entire Dark Demon Cave single-handedly, not only slaying numerous Demon Spirits but dispersing various Demon Caves.

Then new Spirit Caves formed, thus leading to the current transformed landscapes.

"It’s quite a boon for those Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators participating in the Demon Suppression Trial."

Luo Chen understood well the advantage of such an environment for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, especially for those naturally gifted, and cultivated to Late Stage Nascent Soul.

Unless they’re entirely inept, finding a new Spirit Cave to cultivate earnestly would easily lead to a Sudden Enlightenment state of heavenly interaction.

Through this, comprehending the Law’s True Intent, and naturally so.

Even attempting a breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation Realm was feasible.

Thinking this way, his risky venture into the Central Demon Abyss for breakthroughs seemed somewhat excessive.

Remaining outside was not impossible for breakthroughs.

Of course, without that venture and the assistance of vast Spirit Mechanisms within the Central Demon Abyss, he couldn’t have grasped the Destruction Path.

"Better to reunite with fellow disciples and depart the Dark Demon Cave quietly as a Su Ling Sect disciple!"

This was Luo Chen’s current intent.

Finding them wasn’t difficult.

Luo Chen not only knew where they were cultivating in seclusion, but the unrestrained Lotus Brand could already indicate direction.

Just as Luo Chen drew near the vast lake where Su Ling Sect cultivators were cultivating in seclusion, he suddenly paused, and his gaze fell not far below.

The corners of his mouth inadvertently lifted.

"Indeed, when bad luck strikes, it arrives in succession. Likewise for good fortune, now it’s truly a windfall!"
