211: Body Tempering Star Abyss

Finally, there was Yuan!

The shock he received was the most intense! Because his hatred for Lin Yuan was the deepest and his obsession was the strongest, the backlash at this moment was also the most terrifying!

“No... impossible!!” Yuan let out a beastly roar, his eyes instantly bloodshot! Lin Yuan's words were like Nine Nether Cold Wind, instantly extinguishing the raging fire of vengeance in his heart, and completely freezing the precarious confidence he had just built up through his Opportunity! The light of the Wings of the Azure Heaven dimmed sharply, looking as if they might dissipate at any moment.

He felt as if his spirit had been cast into the endless Chaos Return to Ruin, crushed into fragments by the eternal, fearless, and supreme Aura emanating from that Luminous Dao Heart! All his schemes, all his trump cards, and all his arrogance seemed so laughable and powerless before this single utterance that was 'Words became Law'!

“Wah—!” Yuan violently spat out a large mouthful of dark golden Vital Essence Blood, his Aura plummeting like an avalanche! He desperately clutched his chest, where a severe pain, like his Dao Heart shattering, originated! The malice in his eyes was replaced by boundless terror and confusion. His body trembled uncontrollably, making it difficult to even maintain flight, and he staggered precariously. The gaze he directed at Lin Yuan was now only deep-seated horror and despair.

He knew he was finished. His mind was clouded, his courage gone, and his Battle Intent vanished! Even if he didn't die today, without a Heaven-Defying Opportunity to change his fate, his Dao path was already severed! Lin Yuan's figure had transformed into a Heart Demon nightmare he could never escape for all eternity!

The three aggressive Peak of the Feather Transformation Realm Prodigies, under Lin Yuan's first use of Words Become Law after condensing his Chaos Fearless Dao Heart, instantly lost all fighting will, their Divine Souls severely wounded, and their Dao Hearts on the verge of collapse, like mangy dogs whose spines had been removed.

Lin Yuan didn't even lift his eyelids, as if he had merely brushed away three annoying specks of dust. He didn't spare a glance for Yuan, who was slumped on the ground and lost his spirit, nor for Yan Huang and Yu Bing Po, who had lost all fighting spirit and looked like they had lost their parents. To him, these three were simply unworthy of being called opponents.

The chaos heavenly extreme sword let out a clear hum and automatically returned to the sheath on his back. Lin Yuan stepped out of the Myriad Battles Pagoda, his figure transforming into a Chaos Streamer. Ignoring the desolation and silence behind him, he headed straight for another coordinate within the Heaven-Grade Secret Realm that radiated immense starlight and destructive Aura—the Quenching Star Abyss, tearing through the Void Realm.

The Quenching Star Abyss was located in the far western region of the Secret Realm. Even before approaching, one could feel a terrifying, heart-stopping pressure!

It was a massive abyss suspended in the endless Void Realm. The abyss was not dark, but filled with the light projected by billions of stars. Nine incomparably vast Chaos Star phantoms, radiating Star Might of different attributes (scorching heat, extreme cold, gravity, sharpness, vitality, deathly stillness...), rotated slowly around the abyss like eternal millstones.

Between the stars, visible Chaos Astral Wind, composed of pure destructive energy, raged! The Astral Wind appeared greenish-black, howling and surging. Wherever it passed, even space was sliced open with fine, black fissures that took a long time to heal! Mixed within the Astral Wind were spatial fragments, twisted and compressed to the extreme by the Star Might, resembling billions of invisible, poisoned blades!

This was the supreme Holy Land for tempering the Physical Body, and also the ultimate graveyard for destroying mortal bodies!

Lin Yuan appeared at the edge of the abyss. The raging stellar gravity and the residual waves of the Chaos Astral Wind instantly tore at him, causing the protective divine light formed by his Eternal Evolution Body to ripple slightly. He took a deep breath, and the fearless Chaos Heart Light in his eyes grew even brighter.

“The Chaos Body is still incubating, and the Innate Dao Body Awakened by the Eternal Evolution Body is only at 25% completion. I need the Astral Wind here to temper it and the Star Power to refine it, pushing my Foundation to the extreme!” Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yuan suddenly spread his chaos wings behind him. The divine radiance of the Third Tier Peak erupted, turning him into a world-opening Chaos Streamer that fearlessly charged into the Quenching Star Abyss, where nine stars rotated and the Astral Wind roared!

Boom—!

The moment he entered the range of the abyss, the first trial instantly descended!

The projection of the crimson Chaos Star above his head, radiating endless light and heat, burst forth with brilliant light! Terrifying high temperatures instantly enveloped Lin Yuan! This was not ordinary fire, but the Heaven Burning Flame containing the Star Origin, capable of instantly melting and evaporating Divine Metal! The Chaos Divine Radiance on Lin Yuan’s body flickered violently, making sizzling sounds. His newly formed skin transmitted an intense burning pain, as if it could be scorched and carbonized at any moment!

“Hmph!” Lin Yuan let out a low shout. Instead of dodging, he circulated the Chaos Origin Scripture, actively guiding the Heaven Burning Star Fire into his body! The Eternal Evolution Body groaned under the unbearable load of the Star Fire, yet in the midst of destruction, it frantically absorbed the power of the Star Origin, undergoing the deepest level of Body Tempering! Like Divine Iron thrown into a stellar furnace, he endured extreme pain, using his Dao Heart to stabilize his Divine Soul, guiding the Star Fire to burn away Impurities and temper his sinews, bones, skin, and membrane!

After an unknown period, as his body gradually adapted to and absorbed the power of the Heaven Burning Star Fire, and the light of the first crimson star slightly dimmed, the second trial seamlessly connected!

An ice-blue Chaos Star projection replaced the crimson star! Extreme cold instantly permeated the area, completely freezing the lingering high temperatures! Space seemed solidified, and the flow of time became sluggish! Lin Yuan's body was instantly covered in a thick layer of Profound Ice shimmering with faint blue runes! The cold Qi was pervasive, frantically eroding his bone marrow, Meridians, and even his Divine Soul, aiming to completely freeze his flame of life!

Crack... crackle... The Great Dao Divine Radiance on Lin Yuan's body froze, emitting faint cracking sounds. The bone-deep chill nearly halted his thoughts. He fiercely bit the tip of his tongue. Stimulated by the sharp pain, his Chaos Fearless Dao Heart erupted with brilliant light! "Break!" he roared internally. The Qi and blood inside the Eternal Evolution Body roared into operation like a Chaos Furnace, and the power of the Great Dao of Life and Death, which he had initially comprehended, was driven to the extreme with the augmentation of his Dao Heart!

A majestic vitality erupted from within his body, forcibly expelling, crushing, and absorbing the invading power of the Profound Ice! The Profound Ice on his body shattered inch by inch. His newly formed flesh, tempered by the extreme cold, became denser and tougher, containing the potential to freeze all things.

A brownish-yellow Chaos Star projection descended! The terrifying gravity instantly increased ten millionfold! Lin Yuan felt his body abruptly sink, as if he were shouldering countless Primordial Divine Mountains! His bones emitted a grating groan, his internal organs were squeezed out of place, and his blood nearly burst through his veins! He was pressed tightly by the invisible gravity toward the more violent Astral Wind region deeper within the abyss!

“Get—up!” Lin Yuan’s eyes were crimson gold, and the veins on the surface of his Eternal Evolution Body bulged like Dragons. His chaos wings flapped vigorously, erupting with the power to tear apart stars! He directly withstood the terrifying gravity that was enough to crush the Physical Body of a Hunyuan Realm cultivator. Like a divine fish swimming against the current, he was not crushed; instead, he used this extreme pressure to frantically temper every inch of his bones and every muscle! The density of his bones increased madly under the heavy pressure, faintly revealing the color of Chaos Divine Metal! His muscle fibers were torn and reorganized, becoming even more explosive!
