170: Chapter 170 The Divine Pill Manifests Its Power: The Evolution of the Seven Apertures!

"Hummm—!"

As the first wisp of gentle medicinal power successfully merged, Jiang Liuli's heart, which had originally been gray and deathly silent, finally lit up with a faint yet tenacious red glow.

But this was merely the beginning.

The Nine Revolutions Replenishing Heaven Pill, known as "seizing the fortune of Heaven and Earth, encroaching upon the mysteries of the sun and moon," had only just begun to awaken its true medicinal power.

"Rumble—!!!"

A wave of life energy, so massive it was suffocating, gathered frantically at Jiang Liuli's heart.

Under the guidance of Xu Chen's Hongmeng Origin, and suppressed by those two immature yet domineering strands of Chaos Qi, this originally violent medicinal power finally became obedient, beginning to traverse the incomplete heart along a mysterious trajectory.

"Crackling..."

A series of crisp sounds, like popping beans, emanated from within Jiang Liuli's body.

That was her broken Meridians knitting back together and her withered bone marrow regenerating.

Xu Chen sat cross-legged behind her, his forehead covered in sweat, but his eyes were brighter than ever before.

"It worked! The most dangerous moment has passed!"

He could clearly "see" that the black cracks originally covering Jiang Liuli's Nine-Orificed Exquisite Heart were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The first orifice, completely lit! Crimson as fire!

Immediately after.

The second orifice... orange!

The third orifice... yellow!

...

As each heart orifice was repaired and lit, the aura on Jiang Liuli's body began to undergo an earth-shattering change.

The sickly Death Qi that had always lingered between her brows was completely dispelled. In its place was a terrifying fluctuation that was sacred, noble, and filled with infinite vitality.

"Huu..."

Jiang Liuli's originally furrowed brows slowly smoothed out, and her breathing became steady and strong. Although she had not yet awakened, her rosy complexion already said everything.

"It's not over yet!"

Xu Chen suddenly sensed that more than half of the Nine Revolutions Replenishing Heaven Pill's medicinal power had yet to be consumed!

The remaining massive medicinal power, catalyzed by Jiang Liuli's tenacious will to survive and the children's Chaos Origin, had actually begun to forcibly open new heart orifices on her heart!

That was a sign of evolution!

"Is this... breaking then establishing?!"

Xu Chen's eyes widened, his face filled with wild joy.

"Boom!"

The eighth orifice, open!

A cyan beam of light shot straight through Jiang Liuli's crown, dyeing the roof of Yangxin Hall cyan.

"Boom!"

The ninth orifice, open!

A blue beam of light followed closely behind.

Nine orifices fully opened! Nine-nine returns to one!

At this moment, Jiang Liuli had not just recovered; her Aptitude had directly leaped to an unattainable height.

But it seemed this was not yet the end.

Just when Xu Chen thought this was the limit.

"Dong—!"

A heartbeat, like a great bell, suddenly emanated from within Jiang Liuli.

This heartbeat was steady and powerful, carrying a rhythm of the "Dao," actually directly causing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to resonate.

Above those nine orifices, faintly, a tenth orifice was slowly taking shape!

The tenth orifice... purple!

Perfection!

In an instant, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple... seven-colored divine light intertwined at Jiang Liuli's heart, forming an incredibly brilliant pattern.

The original "Nine-Orificed Exquisite Heart," at this moment, had completely evolved into that which only existed in ancient myths—the Seven-Colored Chaos Exquisite Heart!

"Rumble—!!!"

Outside Yangxin Hall, the originally clear sky suddenly changed.

Endless seven-colored auspicious clouds gathered from all directions, covering the entire sky above the Imperial Xu Family. Within the clouds, phantoms of the Dragon and Phoenix danced, flowers fell from the sky, and golden lotuses sprang from the ground.

An incredibly dense life-fortune Qi instantly swept across a radius of ten thousand miles.

"This... what is this phenomenon?!"

Xu Changsheng and Ji Wushuang, who had been guarding outside the hall, were stunned by this sudden Heaven and Earth phenomenon.

"Seven-colored auspicious clouds, the Great Dao resonating..."

Ji Wushuang's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief, "Could it be that Liuli, that girl... not only recovered from her illness, but also awakened some incredible Physique?!"

"Hahahaha!"

After a brief shock, Xu Changsheng burst into wild laughter.

"My Xu Family is about to prosper! Every daughter-in-law is more of a Prodigy than the last. It seems not only will our wish to hold a grandson be realized, but this grandson's Aptitude will likely be Heaven-Defying!"

...

Inside the hall.

As the last trace of medicinal power was absorbed, the heaven-covering phenomenon and light finally slowly receded, returning to calm.

Xu Chen let out a long breath of turbid air, his whole body as if he had just been fished out of water, collapsing backward in exhaustion.

Tired.

Too tired.

This was a hundred times more exhausting than when he had torn apart the Saint just moments ago. But the smile on his face was brighter than ever.

Because he could clearly sense that the flame of life of the woman before him was burning more vigorously than ever before.

"Mmm..."

A soft moan sounded.

Jiang Liuli's long eyelashes trembled a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes.

In that instant, Xu Chen felt as if he had seen two brilliant stars.

Deep within her pupils, seven-colored light faintly swirled, mysterious and profound. Her skin, which had been slightly sallow due to long-term illness, was now crystal clear and delicate, as if it could be broken by a touch. Her whole being radiated a peerless elegance after being reborn.

"Husband..."

Jiang Liuli looked at the man before her, covered in sweat, exhausted, yet smiling like a fool, and her eyes instantly turned red.

She could feel the changes in her body.

The feeling of pain with every breath had disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented sense of ease and power.

She had survived.

It was this man before her who had forcibly snatched her back from the hands of king yama.

"Don't cry, don't cry."

Xu Chen hurriedly sat up straight, reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, softly saying:

"Your body has just recovered, what if you cry and make yourself sick again?"

"How do you feel? Is there anywhere that feels uncomfortable?"

Jiang Liuli shook her head, extended her arms, and took the initiative to wrap them around Xu Chen's neck, burying her face in his chest.

"Husband, thank you..."

"I thought... I was really going to die this time..."

"What silly things are you saying."

Xu Chen gently stroked her hair, feeling the real body temperature in his arms, his heart filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.

"I said, as long as I am here, you will not die."

"Not only will you not die, but we will also be together for a long, long time..."

The two embraced tightly, enjoying this hard-won tranquility and tenderness.

Even though the outside world had been turned upside down by the earlier phenomenon, inside this Yangxin Hall, it seemed to have become an independent world wrapped in love.

Xu Chen was even a bit reluctant to let go of this moment of warmth.

However.

Just at this moment.

Jiang Liuli's body suddenly stiffened.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Chen keenly noticed her abnormality.

Jiang Liuli did not speak, but her brows furrowed slightly, and one hand subconsciously covered her protruding lower abdomen.

Her expression suddenly became somewhat strange in that instant.

First confusion, then astonishment, and finally it turned into a... kind of unspeakable panic.

"Hus... Husband..."

Her voice carried a trace of trembling, her fingers clutching Xu Chen's sleeve tightly.

"What is it? Is it a sequela from the evolution just now? Does your heart still hurt?"

Xu Chen asked nervously.

"No... it's not my heart..."

Jiang Liuli gasped, the cold sweat that had just faded from her forehead emerging once again.

"It's... it's my belly..."
