This was no longer a blurry silhouette, but the true form of his Primordial Spirit, growing more condensed and distinct after repeated tempering.
The power of his Primordial Spirit formed an indestructible, glass-like barrier, securely guarding his core consciousness.
Simultaneously, once his Lv. 11 [Absolute Focus] activated, his mind was instantly elevated to an unimaginably pure state.
Countless stray thoughts vanished in an instant, leaving his mind as clear as a bottomless ancient well. The overwhelming, chaotic will of destruction from the outside world surged toward him, but it was like a tidal wave crashing against a majestic, unmoving boulder that had been buried at the bottom of the sea for eons.
The chaotic will and destructive intent carried by the Thunder Fiend smashed against that wall of absolute mental purity, creating a silent yet ferocious impact.
However, no matter how the gray-black wisps of energy roiled, shrieked, and clawed, they couldn’t shake the barrier in the slightest.
Blessed by this twofold power, Li Wen’s consciousness was like the eye of a storm—utterly serene.
He even had the leisure to calmly observe and analyze. ’Potent, as expected. This resentment and destructive emotion... it’s not entirely without its uses for tempering one’s will. Too bad it’s not strong enough.’
His thoughts raced, and the core tenets for breaking through the Cultivation Technique flowed through his mind.
He stopped passively defending. Instead, he began to actively guide the seemingly terrifying torrent of the Thunder Fiend. Using the core Heart Method of the Seventh Layer of the Nine Heavens Divine Body as reins, he began to attempt... to tame it. freewēbnoveℓ.com
RUMBLE—!!
Even more powerful purple-gold lightning, mixed with the struggling, twisting Thunder Fiend, was actively drawn by Li Wen and channeled into his body with a speed and precision far exceeding his limits.
The excruciating pain intensified again. This time, it wasn’t just his physical body; it felt as if his very spirit was about to be torn asunder.
But for Li Wen, long accustomed to being reborn from destruction and finding enlightenment through agony, this was merely another trial for both his will and his flesh.
’Refine!’
He roared in his mind.
With the precise control of [Absolute Focus] and the absolute protection of his second-layer Primordial Spirit, the once-terrifying Thunder Fiend now seemed almost... docile within his body.
He forcibly drew the gray-black wisps of energy into his Cultivation Technique’s circulation path. Scoured by the violent lightning and forged within the furnace of his body, their chaotic will was shattered and ground away, bit by bit.
The remaining pure energy of destruction, in turn, blended perfectly with the lightning’s power. It became a peculiar catalyst, stimulating his body’s potential and forging the foundation of a ’god-fiend body’.
This process allowed for no shortcuts. It required immense control, vast reserves, and a will tempered to be as hard as bedrock.
Li Wen possessed all three!
Gradually, the unsettling gray aura, filled with chaos and destruction, began... to wane.
Inside the private chamber, Li Wen’s already formidable vital energy, under the dual baptism of lightning and destructive power, erupted with an even more brilliant light, like a phoenix undergoing nirvana.
The purple-gold light on his skin gradually faded, replaced by a more restrained and profound pale-gold halo—one that seemed born of chaos, containing a supreme, majestic power.
His sinews and bones hummed in unison, his organs glowed with vitality, and every heartbeat was like the drumming of gods and demons, vibrating the stable walls of space.
A brand-new aura—stronger, more substantial, and closer to the Life Origin than that of a high-level Super Martial Artist—slowly began to emanate from him.
On the Thunder Attraction Platform, the raging lightning and coiling Thunder Fiend seemed to sense the birth of a monarch. They grew docile and tame, finally, slowly, subsiding.
BOOM!
The last wisp of Thunder Fiend was annihilated by the light of his Primordial Spirit, vanishing completely.
The light from the Thunder-Attracting Array faded completely.
Li Wen slowly opened his eyes.
Deep within his pupils, pale-gold lightning seemed to ebb and flow, to live and die. His gaze was placid, yet it held an ineffable authority.
He glanced down at his palm and flexed his fingers slightly. A pale-gold halo flowed between them as a sense of irresistible power flooded his entire being.
Nine Heavens Divine Body: Seventh Layer—Complete!
...
Area A on the second floor of Nine Heavens Peak’s Thunder Attraction Tower was already desolate, as empty and silent as a vacuum.
The commotion from Li Wen’s breakthrough to the Seventh Layer of the Nine Heavens Divine Body was surprisingly subdued this time. There was no violent eruption of lightning, nor were there any strange phenomena from his aura leaking out.
Only a subtle, warm current rose from his Dantian, gentle as a spring, silently washing over his bones and muscles.
A few breaths later, everything returned to tranquility, as if nothing had happened at all.
Li Wen felt the surging power within his body and nodded with satisfaction.
Breaking through to the Seventh Layer in just over half a year was a speed that far surpassed others, but he didn’t think it was anything worth boasting about.
Cultivating the Nine Heavens Divine Body to this level meant every step forward required a massive amount of accumulation and tempering of the will. The recent breakthrough was a natural progression, so there was no need for fanfare.
He gently exhaled a breath of stale air, stood up, brushed the dust from his clothes, and calmly left the private chamber.
Upon returning to Villa One, Li Wen didn’t delay, beginning his daily cultivation as usual.
He drew his saber and began practicing the Dawn Five Forms in the courtyard.
His Blade Intent crackled like lightning, weaving around his body. Each flash of his saber sought the pinnacle of speed and precision, resonating with the physical power of his Nine Heavens Divine Body.
When his training was over, his workout clothes were soaked with sweat, yet he showed no sign of fatigue. On the contrary, he felt more invigorated than ever.
...
Night fell over Torchbearer University.
Festive lights replaced the stars, bathing the Enlightenment Peak plaza in a light as bright as day. freewebnøvel.coɱ
The massive, circular main venue was bustling with people. The aroma of food mingled with lively chatter, filling the air with a festive atmosphere.
