Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 634 Guiding Death Energy into the Body, Shattering the Sea of ​​Spirit, and Condensing the Three Cores to Break Through Barriers (Two-in-One)

"ban!"

As the fire spring and ice spring surged, facing the two menacing remnants of the dragon kings, a gray glint flashed in Electrox's eyes, and he uttered words filled with indifference.

The next second, no matter how the spring water churned, the remnant souls of the two dragon kings were frozen in place. Two magic circles appeared out of thin air, passing through the "bodies" of the two remnant souls, transforming into halos of light that encircled their necks, golden patterns spreading across their entire bodies. In a flash, no matter how much they struggled, they could not break free.

Electrolux pointed a finger, and the halo around the two remnant souls of the dragon kings extended into two chains, connecting to Chen Junting's body. No matter how much the two remnant souls roared, it was to no avail.

After doing all this, he looked at Chen Junting and said, "With the help of the remnant souls of these two dragon kings, I have connected the energy of the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to you. As long as you need it, you can draw from it continuously."

"Thank you so much, teacher."

Before Electrolux could respond, Chen Junting, who was already prepared, sat cross-legged, letting his body float in the spring water while his mind sank into his body.

Upon internal observation, Chen Junting first focused on the lower dantian.

A desolate scene, with only the circulating soul power descending from the middle dantian, accumulating within it, and then flowing to the limbs and bones.

His next step is to unlock the secrets of the treasure!

"Necromantic magic, draw upon death energy!"

A sharp shout rang out in his heart, and streams of gray energy carrying death spread throughout Chen Junting's body. However, it did not linger on him for long, and under Electrolux's gaze, it sank into the area three inches below his navel, that is, the lower dantian.

boom--

Chen Junting's abdomen shone brightly, as if it had exploded at that moment. But in reality, it was the death energy that had been drawn and stirred up by necromancy that emerged from his lower dantian, forming billowing smoke that corroded his body and shortened his lifespan.

It forms a dead sea, surging there, completely swallowing up the accumulated and circulating soul power there, and continuously flowing towards the limbs and bones, trying to spread the death energy throughout the whole body through the meridians.

But under Chen Junting's control, how could that body, which had already taken half a step towards godhood, be so easily eroded by death energy?

The deathly aura that had been drawn in had only engulfed a quarter of Chen Junting's body when it triggered an instinctive resistance from his body. His blood and qi erupted like a volcano, and the life energy that his body itself possessed surged forth like a spring, bursting forth with endless vitality. Under the nourishment of life, his flesh and blood, which had been corroded by the deathly aura and become decayed, quickly recovered.

However, that's not enough!

"As expected, the death aura triggered an instinctive backlash from the body."

At this moment, Electrolux, through his connection with Chen Junting, gleaned information about his current progress. This smooth progress, unfolding as expected, brought a sigh of relief to the experienced old man, however slight.

After all, this was only the initial danger.

Fortunately, they got off to a good start.

Now, the deathly energy in the lower dantian, which was constantly surging, has changed once again. The deathly energy that was eroding elsewhere was being pushed back by the life energy contained in the body itself. The blood and qi that flowed like a column of mercury were constantly impacting and eroding the decay.

Even at this moment, life energy and qi relentlessly pursued it, directly "attacking" the lower dantian, which had turned into a dead sea.

Compared to the desolate Dead Sea, the life energy and blood power that just entered here were like a tiny drop of clear water in a vat of ink. They were barely visible as crystal clear and reddish-jade when they first fell in, but they were indeed in opposition to the massive amount of death energy.

Perhaps it was as if he had found the enemy's stronghold. With Chen Junting's help, all the life energy and blood energy that had been "dormant" in Chen Junting's body, except for the life energy and blood energy needed to maintain other parts of his body, completely erupted at this moment. Even though it was aimed at his own body, it still disturbed the peace of the spring outside.

The commotion was so great that even Xue Di and the others could clearly sense it.

As most of the life energy and qi and blood in the body continuously flow into the lower dantian, the dead sea formed by the death energy is repeatedly defeated in the sea of ​​life and the sea of ​​qi and blood. Gradually, it changes from a clear distinction to an inevitable trend, and even completely transforms into the moment when the blood-colored sea and the emerald green sea intertwine in the lower dantian...

"point!"

Within his own body, Chen Junting's consciousness was the master of everything! With just a thought, the life force and blood energy that had been intertwined due to the repulsion of the death energy in his lower dantian began to slowly separate, as if yin and yang were filling the space between them.

"Gather!"

The lower dantian, which had calmed down, suddenly shone brightly, bursting out with a sound like a tsunami. The power of qi and blood and the power of life surged, and a crimson and an emerald green burst out with a powerful radiance.

Under the constant impact, it was as if two completely different towering tsunamis had intertwined, making the scene, which was almost filled with the two forces, extremely intense and dazzling.

Yet, amidst this violent commotion, a gathering vortex appeared above the vast ocean of qi and blood and the vast ocean of life, causing the power of life and the power of qi and blood to converge towards it respectively.

I don’t know how long it took,
Suddenly, the two whirlpools collided violently! The two vast oceans surged towards the center, creating a massive tsunami, and a crystal resembling a soul core appeared at the center of this tsunami!

The emerald green and crimson red colors appear distinct on this crystal, yet for some reason, they also give the impression of being a unified whole.

The next second, the crystal plummeted straight down into the vast ocean below.

Then… “Boom—”

The crystal suddenly exploded, but this time, it resulted in the two vast oceans intertwining once more. However, this intertwining was not a matter of one being emerald green and the other crimson red, but a complete fusion, transforming into gold. Like divine light radiating from ten thousand rays, dazzling as a rainbow, golden waves surged, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and at this moment, a brand new crystal emerged from within, also golden.

Chen Junting stared intently and uttered a single sentence.

"This is the essence!"

The moment the essence core appeared, it was as if the lower dantian trembled, followed by a resonance in the middle dantian. In the middle dantian, which had already transformed into a sea of ​​qi, the soul power unique to Chen Junting was already full. The single soul core, formed by the fusion of the two soul cores, was rotating in the sea of ​​qi, actively drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the outside world and pouring it into his body, liquefying the entire middle dantian into a sea. There were even icebergs, which were actually solidified soul power floating on them.

At this moment, the soul core in the middle dantian can be described as a soul core, but it can also be called a "qi core".

When essence and energy are both complete, spirit should also be born. And this is the next step Chen Junting needs to take. But what he needs to do is extremely dangerous. Even the hurdle of death energy entering the body has only a fraction of the risk.

Because the upper dantian is the root of one's nature and the place where the spirit resides, the soul and spirit should naturally return to their rightful place and the true spirit should reside there. However, the sea of ​​spirit is the place where the true spirit is nurtured, where the soul and spirit are hidden, and it should be the most crucial place.

Although they appear similar, they are not actually one.

What he has to do is to make the two into one!

It was precisely this seemingly absurd idea that shocked the four soul spirits and Elder Yi. It was also for this reason that he had the four soul spirits bound to him leave his Sea of ​​Spirit before entering the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. This way, even if something unexpected happened to him, the souls of the four soul spirits would not be annihilated, and they would still have a chance to survive.

"Guide the soul into the body!"

With a thought, Chen Junting caused the halo and chains connecting the remnant souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings to blaze with golden light. Under the watchful gaze of Electrox, the divine soul power of the two Dragon King remnant souls was directly drawn in and absorbed into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Because it is almost impossible for him to merge his complete spiritual sea with his upper dantian at this stage, he must take other measures to make his spiritual sea merge with his upper dantian even when it is damaged.

To this end, he drew upon the power of the remnants of the two Dragon Kings' souls.

Almost the instant the remnants of the two Dragon Kings' souls entered his spiritual sea, Chen Junting used his Heavenly Eye to stabilize his soul and protect his true spirit. With the interference and protection of the power of destiny, no matter what these two soul forces did, they could not possibly harm Chen Junting's core.

In addition, the Heavenly Eye also encompasses the Sea of ​​Spirit, and the power of time and space freezes everything outside the Sea of ​​Spirit.

In this way, even if Chen Junting suffers severe damage due to the shattering of his spiritual sea, as long as all the fragments of his spiritual sea merge with his upper dantian, Chen Junting's spiritual realm will not decline and his strength will not be damaged.

"Rumble--"

Less than a breath after entering, the divine powers of ice and fire erupted completely within Chen Junting's sea of ​​consciousness. With Chen Junting adopting a strategy of non-resistance, his face turned deathly pale in an instant!

Even so, Chenjun Pavilion remained motionless.

The two divine powers continued to wreak havoc until they reached a critical point, at which point ice and fire erupted completely!
At the same time, "click—"

A sound signifying rupture rang out!

The sea of ​​the spirit has shattered!
The seawater representing Chen Junting's spiritual power instantly reversed course, surging towards the shattered area as if it were about to flow out of his body. However, just as it flowed out of the crack, it was completely enveloped by the power of destiny from the Heavenly Eye and the spacetime power he had comprehended, causing it to pause.

However, the shattering of the Sea of ​​Spirit is a certain death for any powerful Soul Master. His previously stable middle and lower dantian are further weakened by the influence of the Sea of ​​Spirit, causing his essence and energy to continuously dissipate. Therefore, even though Chen Junting's soul and true spirit were already protected by the power of destiny, he is now like a candle in the wind, which may be extinguished at any moment.

This scene made Electrolux ready to act at any moment.

In contrast, even though the shattering of his spiritual sea was an unprecedented pain, Chen Junting's consciousness remained as rational as ever. He used the Gold of Life to maintain his vitality, but did not try to repair the shattered spiritual sea, letting it break into pieces.

This is like water flowing continuously from a large hole, but only water is poured into a small hole, without ever filling the large hole.

Until a certain time, Chen Junting's spirit arrived.

He knew it was time!

Along with his consciousness, the divine soul power of the two remnant souls of the two dragon kings was directly expelled from Chen Junting's already dilapidated and fragmented spiritual sea by Electrolux's methods.

Next comes the most crucial step!
"fall!"

A furious shout, a return to emotion, echoed in my heart!
The fragments of the spiritual sea and spiritual power, which were originally shrouded by the power of fate and frozen by the power of time and space, seemed to be drawn down towards the location of the upper dantian!

Under the immense spiritual power, the remaining soul power in the upper dantian was as if it were under pressure, and it returned to the middle dantian, leaving the "spacious" space entirely for the sea of ​​spirit. However, it was clear that the upper dantian was not large enough to begin with.

However, as the shattered sea of ​​spirit forcibly entered it, the upper dantian began to expand continuously. But this simple overlap was not what Chen Junting wanted.

So, "Let's agree!"

The artificial three-eyed golden lion skull shone with dazzling brilliance, and the invisible power of destiny seemed to be ignited at this moment, turning into rose-gold flames that spread continuously from the sparks in the upper dantian. While burning this area, it also scorched and refined the fragments of the spiritual sea and the massive amount of spiritual seawater.

However, the pain caused by this burning power of destiny was no less than that of the previous shattering of the spiritual sea, and even surpassed it! This time, the soul and true spirit residing in the power of destiny and the Heavenly Eye of Chen Junting all joined in.

As time passed, the two completely merged into one. At the same time, a crystal identical to the essence core, which could also be called the "divine core," slowly rose up.

Nowadays, the upper dantian is the sea of ​​spirit, and the sea of ​​spirit is also the upper dantian. It is the place where the spirit resides, and also the place where the root of one's nature lies.

As the three crystal cores were completely finished, the upper, middle and lower dantian almost immediately began to operate on their own. At this moment, Chen Junting's essence, energy and spirit were perfectly connected, his aura rapidly increased, and his cultivation directly broke through the last barrier between level 98 and level 99!
In an instant, "buzz—"

The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is about to be overthrown!

An aura of unparalleled arrogance soared straight into the sky!

The Snow Emperor and the others, who could clearly sense this, instantly lost all their worry, replaced by intense joy! This breakthrough in cultivation meant that Chen Junting had successfully achieved his goal!
"Great!"

"Boss is mighty!!!"

"..."

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring, Electrox, who had resealed the remnant souls of the two dragon kings, looked at Chen Junting, who was still in seclusion, and felt happy for him.

"You have already forged your own path..."
