757: Chapter 758 Wang Zhan Awakens

Dong Li subconsciously leaned forward half an inch. After seeing clearly that body which had been almost charred to coal by the Lightning Tribulation, he immediately pulled back in fright, his face full of disbelief:

"No way, how did such a fierce person on the rankings end up in this state?"

The scene fell into a dead silence, with only the faint echoes of thunder from deep within the Thunder Marsh remaining. Everyone looked at that charred and broken body, their expressions somewhat heavy.

"He's still alive, but in extremely poor condition."

Xiao Ruobai's voice was low and raspy, carrying an irrepressible tremor. He could clearly feel that Wang Zhan's Physical Body had long been eroded by the Silent Extinction Thunder Marsh to the point of imminent collapse.

Only a faint wisp of vitality remained unextinguished, relying on the Heavenly Azure Dao Body Origin to forcibly endure until now.

Wang Xiaopang was the first to react: "Shouldn't that guy Wang Zhan be fighting bloody battles to seize treasures in the Secret Realm? Why would he appear here, in the Thunder Eye at the very core of the Silent Extinction Thunder Marsh?"

Xiao Ruobai didn't speak. He injected his War God Blood-Qi into the charred body once more. After a moment, he spoke slowly, his tone grave:

"It's him, no mistake. His blood-qi Origin is very special; I would never misidentify it.

It's just that he seems to have forcibly withstood an extreme Lightning Tribulation here. His Physical Body is nearly shattered, and his Divine Soul has fallen into a deep slumber, which is why he's turned into this state."

Xiao Ruobai condensed a wisp of gentle War God Blood-Qi at his fingertips and slowly funneled it into the charred body.

The next moment, that charred shell covered in cracks suddenly jolted, and the chest rose and fell very weakly.

"Cough... cough cough..."

A few broken gasps were squeezed out of a throat so parched it was nearly shattered.

The body, which had been as silent as charcoal, actually began to seep a faint but incredibly resilient spark of vitality under the nourishment of Xiao Ruobai's blood-qi.

The charred outer shell began to flake off inch by inch, revealing new skin underneath that shimmered with cyan and black light.

Everyone instantly held their breath.

It really was Wang Zhan.

"Did he... did he break in by himself?" Wang Xiaopang blurted out. "He's only in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, yet he dared to run in here..."

Ling Xi frowned slightly. With a gentle swirl of her devouring power, she pushed aside the remaining Silent Extinction thunder power in the vicinity:

"His vitality is almost severed. No matter how strong the Heavenly Azure Dao Body is, it cannot withstand the continuous burning of a great dao Lightning Tribulation."

"Master, can he be saved?" Mo Yu asked in a heavy voice, his eyes full of anxiety.

Wang Zhan was the most valiant Martial Artist of their generation and a companion who had traveled with them; no one wanted to see him fall here.

Xiao Ruobai looked up at the great dao source trace floating in the center, a flash of determination in his eyes:

"This is the core of the dao source, containing the most primitive rules of life and destruction. It is the only place that can save him."

As his voice fell, he raised his hand and guided Wang Zhan's body to rise slowly, suspending it directly beneath the great dao source trace.

"Hanyu, use Chaos Sword Qi to protect his Divine Soul Foundation; there must be no damage whatsoever."

"Ling Xi, use your devouring power to strip the remaining Silent Extinction thunder power from his body without harming his Origin."

"Mo Yu, funnel Qilin essence blood into his body to ignite his vitality."

"Wang Xiaopang, set up the Nine-Turn Soul-Sustaining Talisman Array to stabilize his dao foundation."

"Dong Li, use the power of the Path of Illusions to construct a Divine Soul nourishing illusion to protect his consciousness from being erased."

A series of commands fell steadily, without the slightest hesitation.

Everyone responded in unison: "Yes!"

Fang Hanyu took a step forward. His Chaos Sword Qi transformed into a greyish light shield as delicate as water, enveloping Wang Zhan entirely and isolating all destructive forces.

Ling Xi formed seals with her hands. A black devouring vortex rotated slowly, and wisps of pitch-black thunder power were forcibly extracted from the charred body, dissipating into ash.

Mo Yu bit his fingertip, and a drop of golden Qilin essence blood carrying a primordial aura flicked out, landing precisely on Wang Zhan's forehead.

Wang Xiaopang's talisman brush danced wildly. Golden talismans condensed in the air, and a profound and complex talisman array instantly took shape, enveloping Wang Zhan within.

Illusionary light flickered at Dong Li's brow as a gentle illusionary power softly shrouded Wang Zhan's Divine Soul, preventing him from collapsing under the intense pain.

Xiao Ruobai stood at the very front, his War God Blood-Qi soaring into the sky and creating a strong resonance with the great dao source trace.

"With my War God Dao Body as the guide and the great dao source trace as the Foundation, let life and death reverse, and the flesh be reshaped!"

With a low shout, Xiao Ruobai directly channeled the great dao source trace to drop a wisp of Origin light. Like golden nectar, it slowly sprinkled onto Wang Zhan's charred body.

The pale golden life force, like a blazing furnace, instantly ignited Wang Zhan's nearly extinguished vitality.

Under the nourishment of the great dao source trace, the nearly shattered Heavenly Azure Dao Body within Wang Zhan began to slowly reassemble at a strange and tenacious speed.

Cyan and black light flowed slowly beneath his skin.

The inclusiveness of the Sacred Body and the ferocity of the Tyrant Body, under the imprint of the Silent Extinction thunder traces, began to quietly evolve in an even more terrifying direction.

Within the Thunder Eye, time passed slowly.

Under the combined treatment of the great dao source trace and the five people, Wang Zhan's charred skin completely fell away, and his new body was as translucent as jade.

Suddenly, a wisp of faint light lit up from Wang Zhan's body.

It did not come from external nourishment, but from deep within his palm—from between his tightly clenched fingers, a faint purple ghostly light seeped out.

The faint light spread along his arm, passed through his ruptured Meridians, and flowed all the way into his heart.

It was a great dao origin crystal that he had gripped so tightly at the brink of death that it had embedded into his flesh.

At this moment, under the guidance of Xiao Ruobai's War God Blood-Qi and the source trace, this crystal core—which contained the secrets of the world's beginning and the silent extinction of all things—finally dissolved completely.

Silent extinction is death; thunderous brilliance is life.

One death and one life, two extreme dao principles exploded within his broken body.

Beneath the charred shell, cyan light embraced all paths, black light tore through delusions, and purple lightning tempered his bone marrow. Every inch of broken bone was reforged by the thunder crystal into dark purple War-bones.

Every inch of damaged Meridians was widened by the dao principles into a vessel capable of carrying the Great Dao.

Immediately after, an extremely faint but exceptionally clear beat came from deep within his chest.

Thump.

Like a giant drum that had been silent for eons, striking its first beat.

Dong Li's eyes widened instantly: "His heart really moved!"

Thump—

The second beat was heavier, steadier, and more powerful than the last. New flesh and blood were growing frantically.

Thump—!!

The third beat shook the Thunder Eye! The entire Silent Extinction Thunder Marsh trembled slightly along with it, as if awakened by this single heartbeat.

Thump—!!!

The fourth beat was like a clap of heavenly thunder! Wang Zhan's chest heaved violently. His originally nearly shattered heart, under the drenching of vitality, restarted with a roar!

Thump—!!!!

The sound of the heartbeat grew wilder, more intense, and more magnificent.

Wang Zhan's body trembled violently amidst the heartbeats. The charred shell exploded inch by inch, completely revealing a new Physical Body interwoven with cyan and black colors.

The cyan was the Heavenly Azure Sacred Body, embracing all paths, carrying heaven and earth, as vast as the sea. The black was the Primordial Tyrant Body, tearing through delusions, suppressing an era, as overbearing as a prison.

The two great blood-qis surged and resonated frantically within his body!

One cyan and one black pillar of light soared from his body, piercing through the silent extinction thunder sea and reaching straight for the clouds of Chaos!

The Thunder Marsh boiled! Billions of silent extinction divine thunders were drawn by this aura. No longer striking to kill, they actively entwined, tempered, and merged!

Thunder power was the fuel, blood-qi was the fire, and the dao foundation was the cauldron!

Boom—!!!

The barriers of his Realm collapsed layer by layer under this world-destroying power!

Middle Stage Heavenly Immortal, Late Stage Heavenly Immortal... Peak Immortal Lord! He broke through multiple Realms in a row, only half a step away from being an Immortal King!

Although he hadn't caught up to the top tier of people in the Immortal Domain yet, after this Nirvana, he was only one step away.

Wang Zhan slowly opened his eyes. Within his pupils, one cyan and one black divine flame burned, like the heavens opening their eyes, like a god or demon awakening.

"I... didn't die?"

He looked down at his reborn hands, feeling the power within him that could suppress the heavens. Then he slowly raised his head, looked at Xiao Ruobai and the other five, and his expression suddenly froze.

"Battle Asura, Sword White Robe...?"
