Chapter 86: Robbery (Part 2)

  "Damn ant!" Lie Yunzi finally revealed a flustered expression, "You actually let your own body self-destruct! And also make it impossible for me to succeed in seizing the soul! You ant, are truly damned, damned, damned!"

  He cursed three times in a row, apparently furious to the extreme.

  If I had known this earlier, I should have said nothing from the start and directly taken action. With Xia Chen's insignificant cultivation level, it is impossible for there to be a process of resistance, but now it's too late to say anything.

  In the midst of anger, Lie Yunzi suddenly surged out an infinite sense of horror. He suddenly thought of a very serious problem: if he left Xia Chen's body, where could he go with just a wisp of broken divine consciousness?

  His physical body was sublimated, and his divine thoughts should have dissipated along with it. Although he used a heavenly secret method to preserve them, his divine thoughts were not the same as his original spirit, and the secret method was not omnipotent. His divine thoughts would rapidly dwindle away with the passage of time until they completely disappeared from the world.

  If Xia Chen dies, he won't be able to find a suitable body in a short time and his soul will really scatter. Xia Chen is using the way of mutual destruction to drag him into the abyss of death as well.

  At this thought, Lie Yunzi suddenly felt an extreme sense of fear. The ferocity of this little ant had suddenly made him feel terrified.

  Seeing Xia Chen's physical body damaged and withering away, about to completely lose his life force, Lie Yunzi gritted his teeth and suddenly came up with a crazy idea.

  "You want to destroy your own body, I won't let you! You want to die, I won't let you die!" Lie Yunzi roared with a ferocious expression.

  The red light ball suddenly flashed brightly, and in the blink of an eye, it became radiant. Then, a powerful and extremely pure energy emanated from the divine thought, like a tidal wave, surging into Xia Chen's entire body.

  This is the energy implied by divine thought.

  Just like a refreshing rain falling on the parched earth, or a healing balm applied to a bloody wound, Xia Chen's vitality, which had withered away for more than half his life, suddenly slowed down, then stopped, and then seemed to reverse, beginning to rapidly recover.

  Withered and loose muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and cracks on the bones disappeared at a visible speed, and became tight again, with luster quickly restored.

  The cracks on the surface of the skin also shrank and then gradually disappeared, restoring their original appearance.

  The five internal organs and six entrails are also transformed from decline to prosperity, emitting a more vigorous vitality than before.

  In the blink of an eye, Xia Chen had recovered to his original state, and even all the injuries he had suffered before were completely healed. His skin was like jade, shining with a faint glow, and his condition had surpassed its best state before.

  However, the power of divine thought has not ended yet. As Xia Chen's true energy runs, it continuously enhances the strength of Xia Chen's physical body, then gushes out from the meridians and transfers to the internal organs, starting to refine them.

  Divine Thought Refines the Organs!

  This is an impossible scene, I'm afraid no one could have imagined that a divine cultivator would actually use his divine mind to cleanse the internal organs of a mortal cultivator, this is simply too wasteful.

  Xia Chen's five internal organs had already recovered their vigorous vitality, and with the power of his divine thoughts tempering them, they quickly became strong and full of life.

  Knock knock! Knock knock!

  Especially the heart, it is beating with unparalleled strength, and the huge sound can even be heard throughout the entire forest.

  And with each heartbeat, a vigorous and powerful force is born from the heart, combining with Xia Chen's physical strength to become incredibly powerful.

  The day after tomorrow, the sevenfold refinement of the viscera realm, internally generated power, far exceeds the sixfold refinement of the postnatal period. Moreover, Lie Yunzi uses his divine thought to cleanse Xia Chen's internal organs with his inner energy, which is far beyond the true Qi's washing and refining degree.

  Such a post-heavenly sevenfold is no longer on the same level as the ordinary post-heavenly sevenfold.

  Xia Chenxiu was making rapid progress, he was originally a post-heavenly sixth-order peak, and with the completion of his divine thought refining his organs, he almost instantly reached the post-heavenly seventh-order peak.

  Suddenly, Xia Chen's blood surged uncontrollably throughout his body, as if drawn by the power of divine intent. It churned and foamed, bursting forth from every pore with a bloody glow, as if eager to devour this energy.

  This is going to break through the Postnatal Sevenfold Refining of the Spleen Realm and start entering the Postnatal Eightfold Refining of the Blood Realm!

  The essence of the Blood Refining Realm is that the entire body's blood becomes true energy, with the blood surging like waves and the true energy raging, leaving almost no weaknesses.

  When all the blood turns into true energy, it's imaginable how powerful the strength is!

  But just at this moment, a red light flashed and suddenly withdrew all the divine thought forces. Then, Lie Yunzi released the seal.

  Xia Chen suddenly moved, his eyebrows furrowed, and he suddenly opened his eyes, exclaiming in shock: "I... what's going on?"

  Self-destruction of the flesh is an unconscious behavior, and Xia Chen was also unclear about what had just happened.

  He suddenly felt invigorated, sensing his own vitality surging to a state of unprecedented vigor, with his internal strength far surpassing what it was before. His internal organs felt as if they were forged from iron, indestructible and unshakeable, and a powerful force began to emanate from within them.

  This is clearly the peak state of the Seventh Refining Marrow Realm!

  At this moment, Xia Chen suddenly broke through another boundary and was stunned.

  "What's going on? I spent my spiritual energy to help you break through the seven layers of acquired heaven, and saved you from your self-destructive physical state. You should be feeling great now!" Leng Yunzi said coldly.

  The red light ball suddenly dimmed a lot, as if it had consumed a great deal.

  "Don't you want me to die?" Upon hearing Lie Yunzi's voice, Xia Chen's heart sank, and even self-destruction was blocked by Lie Yunzi. What other options were there?

  "Not bad, the person I want to capture cannot escape my control! So, you can't even die!" Lie Yunzi said calmly, his divine sense stirring as he sealed Xia Chen once again.

  "You old thief, you want to take my life away and not let me die? Do you think I won't destroy my own body again?! Let's see how much divine power you have to pull me back! If I die, you won't live either!" Xia Chen said sternly.

  His body was unable to move, but his cultivation had reached the seventh level of the Later Heaven, and his internal organs were able to exert force. Suddenly, a fierce light flashed on his heart, and a Heaven-Cleaving Blade Edge was born, while other organs also flickered with sharp edges, ready to slash each other fiercely.

  With the power of internal organs, a knife edge is emitted to kill each other, which is more thorough than self-destruction.

  "Ant, did you think I didn't calculate this?" Lie Yunzi said calmly, his divine thought sweeping across a wave of fluctuation, instantly dispersing all the Heaven Splitting Finesse, and then again sealing Xia Chen's internal organs.

  Xia Chen's face changed, this time he was unable to move, gritting his teeth, his will suddenly surged up, and he was about to destroy his body once again.

  Lie Yunzi's disdainful smile, just now Xia Chen destroyed his physical body, it was because he underestimated the enemy and didn't guard against it. With his cultivation level, how could he make the same mistake twice?

  A divine thought stirred, and a powerful force instantly arrived, driving away the will and emotions that Xia Chen had just condensed, and then locking his mind again.

  This time, he added the sealing power to its maximum, so sealed that Xia Chen couldn't even produce a thought wave, and there was no chance of playing tricks again, only waiting for death.

  However, Lie Yunzi did not notice that before he increased the seal's power, Xia Chen's eyes suddenly blinked.

  "Die!" Lie Yunzi said calmly, his divine sense once again heavily suppressing Xia Chen.

  This time he learned his lesson and no longer deliberately tormented Xia Chen, planning to instantly crush Xia Chen's consciousness into powder and quickly end the possession process.

  Concentrate your mind and guard it inwardly, sink down to the elixir field!

  Suddenly, in Xia Chen's mind which had gone blank, these eight words suddenly appeared!

  As these eight words appeared, Xia Chen's entire spirit suddenly contracted, transforming into a fist-sized sphere. Under the pressure of Lie Yunzi's divine sense, it sank abruptly into his dantian and then plunged headfirst into the Cauldron of Gathering Treasures.

  Xīn shén bào shǒu is a high-level qí shù in Tiān Shū Qí Shù, which can gather and condense one's mind and spirit into a ball, mainly used to evade the enemy's spiritual attacks.

  However, the Heart-Guarding Technique is a mysterious art used by Innate Cultivators. As for Postnatal Cultivators, their hearts and spirits are scattered and not integrated, making it extremely difficult to cultivate. Even if they can concentrate their hearts and spirits, they will still be unable to recover and become vegetables.

  However, at this time, even self-destruction of his physical body was impossible, Xia Chen had no other choice, and under a desperate attempt, he surprisingly succeeded.

  "Impossible!" Lie Yunzi almost roared, he had never seen a postnatal cultivator who could merge his heart and spirit into one, was this still a mortal?

  He was furious to the extreme, with his power, when did it become so difficult to seize a mortal's physical body?

  "I'll see where you can escape to! Can you still slip away?" Lie Yunzi said sternly, his divine sense rapidly charging downwards, and in the blink of an eye, he entered Xia Chen's dantian.

  Suddenly, Lie Yunzi froze, looking at the聚宝盆 emitting a faint blue light with an incredulous expression.

  What... what is this? The treasure of the Benming School? Lieyunzi suddenly felt extremely disheveled, if he still had a physical body, he would definitely be spitting out bitter words, his eyes bulging out.

  What kind of postnatal cultivator can refine and transform their innate treasure?

  He had always thought that Xiachen was just an ordinary postnatal cultivator, but until now, Lieyunzi discovered that the things happening to Xiachen had far exceeded his imagination. This tiny ant hid extremely deep secrets that no one knew about.

  Looking at the聚宝盆, Lie Yunzi suddenly felt an extreme sense of terror, and without thinking, he turned around and ran, as if disappearing outside was better than staying here.

  Suddenly, the聚宝盆 emitted a burst of light and released a powerful suction force. No matter how hard 烈云子 struggled, he was unable to escape and was sucked into the聚宝盆 in an instant.

  "Ah! Help!" Lie Yunzi felt as if he had fallen into an abyss, unable to see anything around him, only endless black space. No matter how far his divine sense stretched, it couldn't reach the end of this space.

  What's even more terrifying is that a thin mist suddenly came slowly, falling on his body. As the mist dispersed, Lie Yunzi suddenly discovered in horror that his divine thought form was rapidly disintegrating!

  "No! Don't kill me, save me! Just get me out of here and I'll be your slave, do anything for you, even hand over my divine thoughts to you, be your servant forever!" Lian Yunzi bellowed with all his might.

  "Lie Yunzi, don't worry, I'll slowly watch your divine consciousness disintegrate bit by bit. You being tortured to death is the most delightful thing for me!" Suddenly, Xia Chen's cold and ruthless voice came from the聚宝盆 (treasure basin).
