Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Bone-Shattering Body Refinement

This intense pain was arguably the most excruciating Lin Yun had ever endured. Every inch of his skin felt as if it were being melted by flames, and the bones within his body were shattered into dust.

At this point, besides desperately clinging to his sanity and retaining his consciousness, Lin Yun’s entire physical body had been utterly destroyed by the Energy within the Divine Ape Demon Core.

"Shatter the bones to refine the body. Break and then rebuild. You must guard your mind at all costs, or your body and spirit will be annihilated, and it will be irreversible," the Vajra Divine Ape’s voice rang out once more.

Hearing the Vajra Divine Ape’s words, Lin Yun desperately held onto his consciousness, not daring to relax for even a moment. His physical body had already been reduced to nothing. If his spirit scattered as well, then not even the gods could save him.

From the outside, one could clearly see that Lin Yun’s entire body had dissolved into a cloud of blood mist. His bones and meridians were completely pulverized, and all his Elemental Power was gathered in his Qi Sea, which was now exposed to the open air.

Break and then rebuild. After his entire body had been destroyed by the Divine Ape Demon Core, Lin Yun could clearly feel it slowly regenerating.

The process was slow, but Lin Yun could feel it happening. His flesh and blood began to coalesce anew, and the bones that had been reduced to dust were slowly reforming.

And that wasn’t all. Even in these initial stages, Lin Yun could feel that his new body was countless times stronger than before. It wasn’t just a simple increase in physical toughness, but a comprehensive enhancement in every aspect.

To put it one way, Lin Yun’s body had been completely reforged. It was as pure as a newborn’s, and its affinity for the Heaven and Earth Primordial Power was absurdly high.

In fact, his current physical body was even purer and more suited for Cultivation than the one he’d had in the Divine Realm during his previous life.

At the same time, his foundation had also become far more stable. To say it was as solid as a rock would be an understatement.

’Such a pure body, and such a stable foundation...’ While desperately maintaining his focus, Lin Yun felt the power of his newly forged body and was ecstatic.

’Although these benefits might not be immediately apparent, they are incredibly important for my future Cultivation. With my natural talent, plus a body reforged by the Divine Ape Demon Core, there’s no doubt that my future Combat Power will be even greater.’

Time passed, second by second. First, the bones throughout Lin Yun’s body slowly regenerated. After three days, a complete skeleton had taken shape. The very color of the bones spoke of the body’s incredible resilience.

The milky-white bones faintly emanated a pure, jade-like Energy. The moment the final bone formed, a dense, pure pressure erupted from the skeleton.

Fortunately, the Divine Ape Demon Core was there to contain it. The pressure didn’t leak out in the slightest. Otherwise, never mind the Supreme Elder—everyone in the entire Flawless Palace would have sensed the anomaly occurring in Lin Yun’s location. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

With the skeleton reborn, the flesh and blood came next. The dense mist of blood that was once his body began to envelop the newly formed bones.

The blood mist swirled around the skeleton, regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye. The new flesh was a more vibrant, purer shade of red than before.

It was worth noting that a faint golden light now suffused Lin Yun’s blood. Because the Divine Ape Demon Core had helped reforge his body, his bloodline had taken on some of the Vajra Divine Ape’s traits.

Once his flesh and blood had regenerated, Lin Yun’s physical form was complete. His bronze skin had a faint luster, and his streamlined muscles made his body look brimming with Explosive Power.

Though his muscles weren’t bulky, there was no doubting the Explosive Power they contained.

The reconstruction of his body was halfway complete. Next came the internal organs and meridians. Throughout this, Lin Yun was still in excruciating pain.

Inside his body, Lin Yun’s heart beat fiercely, each pulse powerful and resonant. A layer of golden light enveloped his heart and other organs.

Protected by the golden light, his internal organs grew much more resilient. With every beat of his heart, blood flowed through his body with vigorous, orderly power.

Once the organs were complete, only the meridians remained. The countless meridians of the human body were reborn within him, crisscrossing in an intricate network.

The reborn meridians were completely different from before. The most immediate change was their toughness—each one was now several times more durable.

The tougher the meridians, the faster the Elemental Power one could circulate. This was common knowledge, and the benefits were self-evident.

The speed at which Elemental Power circulated through the meridians determined one’s rate of Cultivation and the speed at which one could absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Power. In other words, tougher meridians could support a faster flow of Elemental Power, which in turn meant a faster Cultivation speed.

Moreover, a rapid circulation of Elemental Power also provided immense advantages in battle.

Take the simplest example: Martial Skills. Everyone knew that they were, to put it plainly, applications of the Elemental Power within a Martial Artist’s body, allowing it to erupt with greater destructive force.

Therefore, the faster one’s Elemental Power circulated, the greater the might of their Martial Skills. It also shortened the time needed to comprehend a Martial Skill’s True Intent.

In short, the meridians now within Lin Yun’s body were top-tier, even by the standards of the Divine Realm.

With his entire body now reforged, the excruciating pain that had wracked Lin Yun slowly subsided. It had taken nearly half a month, but his body had undergone a tremendous transformation, from the inside out.

This was a change far more valuable than simply increasing his Cultivation. Though the effects weren’t immediately obvious, in the long run, such a benefit was irreplaceable.

This bone-shattering, body-refining ordeal was arguably Lin Yun’s greatest fortuitous opportunity, as well as the most precious reward the Vajra Divine Ape could have given him.

And that wasn’t all. After his body was reforged, some Energy remained within the Divine Ape Demon Core. Although it was only a small fraction, this remnant was now frantically increasing Lin Yun’s Cultivation.

His Cultivation at the Ninth Layer of the Qi Sea Realm rose rapidly. In just a single hour, Lin Yun reached the Ninth Layer Limit of the Qi Sea Realm and touched the barrier to the Primordial Ocean Realm.

At the same time, after the reforging of his body, Lin Yun’s two great Cultivation Techniques reached a critical point for a breakthrough. The War God Technique and the Demon Emperor Technique began to operate in unison.

The two Cultivation Techniques worked together to open ten of his meridians. A brilliant golden light and a bloody crimson glow erupted within his body as the War God Technique and the Demon Emperor Technique both broke through to the Third Layer.

Upon reaching the Third Layer, a smile touched the corners of Lin Yun’s lips. He wasn’t sure about the Demon Emperor Technique, but he knew that the War God Technique underwent an earth-shattering transformation upon breaking through to the Third Layer—a quality the first two layers lacked.

In other words, only upon reaching the Third Layer did the War God Technique truly begin to reveal its might.
