Chapter 654: Reconnecting Severed Limbs, Flesh Regeneration, and Luo Chen's Human-shaped Primordial
Chapter 654: Reconnecting Severed Limbs, Flesh Regeneration, and Luo Chen's Human-shaped Primordial Beast!
In the Dragon Abyss Immortal City, within a cave dwelling where spiritual energy was so dense it almost formed clouds, a remarkably youthful and handsome Dragon Abyss True Man was amiably chatting with three respectful cultivators below him.
"You all come from Zhongzhou, where everything is under the control of the Sky-Origin Sect. All affairs are in perfect order. If you want to break through your cultivation realm, gain more cultivation resources, or reach higher heights, you must compete with others, including those ancient families that have existed for who knows how many tens of thousands of years."
"But the Northern Sea is different. Here, you not only compete with humans but also with demons!"
"High-level demons are mostly spiritual, and their mysterious trump cards can be outstanding, not inferior to our human race. We must not take them lightly. The previous Sea Gold Toad was a small lesson; in the future, we must remember this, remember it well!"
It was rare for a Nascent Soul True Man to be so amiable and patiently instructive towards Golden Core cultivators.
The three, Chang Fengzi, were touched and also felt a bit fearful.
"Second Uncle, you're right. We were indeed careless before."
Guan Xiaoping, who was usually arrogant, became well-behaved at this moment.
"I also saw a real Primordial Beast for the first time. The Sea Gold Toad was so powerful, and a small one could swallow the vast ocean. We three worked together but still struggled to break free from its suppression."
The Dragon Abyss True Man smiled, "It's normal for you not to understand Primordial Beasts. Born and raised in Zhongzhou, the Primordial Beasts were cleared out by the Sky-Origin Sect over three thousand years ago. Not to mention Primordial Beasts, even wild demons are scarce."
Guan Xiaoping showed curiosity, "True Man, why do I feel Primordial Beasts are stronger than demons? Aren't they the same?"
The Dragon Abyss True Man's expression turned serious as he revealed a secret.
"They were the same initially, but their innate choices led them down different paths."
"You should have studied the Sky-Origin Sect's textbooks, right?"
"As it's written, the human race has endured countless battles over the years, and in this vast mountain and sea realm, they have established the Five Continents, laying the foundation for our human race. That period of history is known as the Primordial Human-Demon War. From the signing of the Human-Demon Truce to the return of the ten thousand demons to the wild, more than three thousand years have passed. It can be said that from ancient times to the present, our human race has officially become the favorite of heaven and earth, the true master of this realm."
"But before that, in ancient times, the true masters of this mountain and sea realm were the Primordial Beasts, spanning mountains, rivers, deserts, and oceans. They were the true favorites of heaven and earth, the original masters of this realm!"
"The demons you see now are more appropriately called demon cultivators. They follow the same path as us, cultivating through Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul stages). They have deviated from their original cultivation path."
"The current Primordial Beasts are either ancient survivors or those who adhere to the old ways. Their cultivation may be slow, but at the same level, they are undoubtedly more formidable than the unorthodox demon cultivators."
Comparing this new information with their textbook knowledge, the three, including Guan Xiaoping, were left bewildered.
The Dragon Abyss True Man didn't offer further explanations. After returning, they would naturally understand with more thought.
Instead, he shifted the topic to humans.
"Demon cultivators and Primordial Beasts are indeed formidable, but the Northern Sea's current concern is still humans. With the Demonic Origin Sect's destruction, order is lost, and the already barbaric Northern Sea cultivators act without restraint, leaning towards demonic cultivation. Among them, the powerful ones may lack refined techniques, but their combat experience is rich, rivaling even the Sky-Origin Sect's geniuses."
"Take the Azure Sun Demon Lord, for example. He saved you because of my relationship with him. But if it were someone else with malicious intentions, they might not even spare your lives, let alone help you."
"Think about it. With his methods, if you were trapped by the Sea Gold Toad and he made a sudden move, would you have survived, even with the life-saving means bestowed upon you by your elders?"
The three, including Chang Fengzi, couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Especially since they had already used one of their life-saving methods when facing the Shark Emperor.
Seeing their reflective expressions, the Dragon Abyss True Man smiled.
"So, whether it's demons or humans, you must not underestimate the Northern Sea's powerful cultivators."
Chang Fengzi bowed, "Thank you, Second Uncle, for your guidance!"
The other two also bowed in gratitude.
After straightening up, Wu Tao eagerly asked, "True Man, aren't we going to the Sinking Sea?"
"The Sinking Sea?"
The Dragon Abyss True Man's lips curved slightly, about to say something, when his ears twitched.
Boom! A thunderous sound echoed from outside.
He frowned, puzzled by the thunder in clear skies.
Even after sweeping out his vast divine consciousness, extending beyond the Dragon Abyss Immortal City and towards the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range, he detected no abnormalities.
Had he sensed something incorrectly?
Shaking his head, the Dragon Abyss True Man withdrew his thoughts.
"As for the Demon Subduing Land, don't even think about it."
Wu Tao was reluctant, but he knew his cultivation was insufficient, and such fantasies were beyond his reach.
Chang Fengzi, however, was perplexed, "Second Uncle, with your strength, why don't you explore the Sinking Sea? I heard it's filled with countless treasures. Isn't it a waste to let others have them?"
"I won't go; I disdain to do so!" The Dragon Abyss True Man said slowly. "As for who it will benefit, hmph, as long as the Sinking Sea remains, no one will profit. When the time comes, our sect will send the most suitable candidate to enter."
The most suitable candidate? The three below exchanged glances, unsure whom he was referring to.
...
In the midst of Penghu, eight hundred miles away.
Han Zhan left the island, hovering in the air.
His divine consciousness reached out, conveying messages to two demons.
"Tianxuan, go to the Lotus Island and ensure the Zhang family cultivators don't leave."
"Black King, patrol outside Penghu Island and guard it for your master."
After giving his instructions, Han Zhan's gaze fixed on Penghu Island, the island covered by a massive amount of spiritual energy, and the grand hall beneath it.
His eyes occasionally glanced upwards, towards the sky blocked by the formation.
Time passed, moment by moment.
Although clouds gathered in the sky, there was no flash of silver light. Instead, the clouds changed colors, turning red, orange, green...
Han Zhan's expression became thoughtful.
"Is this what it means to be the favorite of heaven and earth?"
"It turns out that upon reaching the fourth stage, instead of the Thunder Tribulation, my body is being inundated with spiritual energy, as if blessed by auspicious clouds."
"I never expected that pure Body Tempering could reach this step, Luo Chen..."
As he muttered to himself, Han Zhan's eyes shone brighter, seemingly rejoicing for him.
Inside the spacious Star Hall.
Luo Chen wore his black armor, and a large cauldron hung above his head, with strict vigilance.
However, the anticipated calamity did not appear; instead, an unexpected influx of spiritual energy occurred!
Within the hall, pearls shimmered with brilliance, and flags fluttered in the wind.
Wave after wave of vast spiritual energy from heaven and earth poured into the hall.
Gathering all the spiritual energy from Eight Hundred Mile Penghu, the Star Hall temporarily became an environment comparable to a fourth-stage spirit land in a short time.
Under this dense spiritual energy, Luo Chen's body uncontrollably devoured the incoming energy.
This energy had not yet been refined and absorbed into his body.
Luo Chen dared not incorporate it into his Qi Sea, fearing the consequences of using Golden Core to consume it.
But clearly, the target of this spiritual energy was not the Qi Sea; it was his physical body.
Countless strands of energy penetrated Luo Chen's muscles, bones, meridians, and even merged with his blood.
Gradually, a word emerged in Luo Chen's mind.
"Bone Marrow Cleansing!"
However, unlike Foundation Establishment Cultivators who use refined spiritual energy to cleanse their marrow, this time, heaven and earth were aiding him in this process.
As time went on, Luo Chen struggled to withstand the massive influx of spiritual energy.
He let out a low roar.
His body began to automatically expand.
One zhang, two zhang... until nine zhang! His enormous body sat in the Star Hall, making the spacious hall feel cramped.
As his body expanded, he could withstand more spiritual energy.
Luo Chen gradually regained control over his body.
Following the circulation route of Ten Thousand Paths Converge, he attempted to manipulate the spiritual energy, actively refining his physical body.
Not only that, but his previous Fire Peng form also began to change.
Eventually, it vaguely resembled an enlarged human form.
If Wang Yuan were here, he would find it incredibly familiar; this was clearly the path he had taken with Giant Spirit Transformation.
Luo Chen had realized this when studying body techniques and killing moves; the Heavenly Peng True Body was too straightforward and lacked the flexibility required for those moves.
Therefore, he adjusted his transformation, gradually making it more human-like.
This somewhat validated Wang Yuan's initial statement that class-changing transformations were not suitable for humans.
During this process, Luo Chen gradually sensed a strange power spreading throughout his body.
This power was not cultivation energy, nor was it demonic energy.
It was somewhat similar to the Dan Jin that Wang Yuan cultivated after comprehending the Blood Transformation, but it was not as pure, appearing slightly more chaotic. Despite its chaotic nature, it seemed even more substantial and easier to control.
To describe it, it was as if his blood, marrow, and the external spiritual energy had merged to form this power.
This power permeated his entire body, omnipresent and all-encompassing.
It even formed a thin, blood-red membrane outside his body.
After about an incense stick's worth of time.
Luo Chen grunted, finally regaining complete control over his body.
Simultaneously, he also sensed a feeling of fullness in his body.
"Is my cultivation complete?"
Luo Chen muttered and began to slowly shrink his body, allowing the blood-red membrane to seep into his flesh.
The surrounding spiritual energy gradually dissipated, returning to Eight Hundred Mile Penghu.
When everything came to a halt.
Luo Chen sat in the hall, feeling refreshed and clear-headed.
Suddenly.
He opened his black armor and used his right hand like a blade, swiftly striking his left wrist.
Such a self-mutilating action would surely shock others.
However, Luo Chen's expression was resolute, as if testing something.
Without any protection, he forcefully struck his left wrist with his palm, and it broke with a loud snap.
Luo Chen grunted, staring intently at the severed wrist.
There, the blood was crystal clear, the bones were like jade, and the muscles were thick.
After staring for a while, Luo Chen's mind moved, and the strange power that permeated his body gathered at his left wrist.
A tingling sensation of numbness and itching arose, making it unbearable.
As he watched, flesh buds blossomed on his left wrist, regenerating along the original shape.
Luo Chen's eyes widened in shock!
"Flesh Regeneration!"
After verifying his guess, Luo Chen withdrew the power, then retrieved his left hand, which was floating in the air.
The newly regenerated flesh was not as tough as flesh tempered by a thousand hammers and a hundred forges.
He did not use any healing techniques, and after a layer of blood-red membrane passed over it, his left hand was restored to its original state, not even leaving a scar.
Luo Chen swallowed hard.
"Reattaching severed limbs!"
After witnessing these two scenes, Luo Chen fell silent.
Apparently, his body had undergone a fundamental change.
It was as if the essence of life had transformed at its source.
This power, distinct from demonic energy, cultivation energy, and even the power of Qi, was small in quantity but had an extraordinary effect.
At this moment, he was less like a human and more like a Primordial Beast with a human-like form!
A fourth-stage Primordial Beast!
And the power he grasped, let's call it "Source Power" for now!
This power granted Luo Chen absolute control over his physical body. Even if it didn't reach the rumored level of blood regeneration, it was sufficient for reattaching severed limbs and regenerating flesh while the main body remained.
Moreover, he felt that even if his body parts were severed and separated, he could still move them freely.
In this situation, if someone wanted to kill him, they would have to sever his limbs, remove his head, and completely destroy his body's main trunk.
Luo Chen didn't know if other Primordial Beasts could do this, but at least he could.
Furthermore, unlike ordinary Primordial Beasts, he had also cultivated the path of refining Qi.
Even if his body was destroyed, as long as his Golden Core remained, his soul would still have a temporary abode.
After comprehending all this, Luo Chen raised his right hand and slowly clenched his fist.
A powerful feeling surged within him.
It was as if this single hand could crush mountains, divide rivers, and battle the vast ocean.
"Power!"
