282: Chapter 282 Successfully Obtaining Eternal Matter!

As time passed.

The backlash force brought by the eternal matter grew weaker and weaker.

Under the suppression of the Power of Imperial Fortune in Wang Chen's body, that black backlash force retreated steadily like a receding tide.

Golden light.

Bit by bit, it devoured the darkness, pulling Wang Chen's body back from the brink of collapse.

No one knew how much time had passed.

With a loud bang, Wang Chen completely suppressed the eternal matter.

“Boom—!”

That sound.

It was like the creation of heaven and earth, shaking the entire Forbidden Ground until it trembled.

Wang Chen's body.

Also gave a violent jolt.

On his body, the golden light and the black power intertwined, forming an eerie scene.

But in the end.

The golden light gained the upper hand, completely suppressing the black power.

Perhaps sensing Wang Chen's prowess, the moment it was completely suppressed, the piece of eternal matter seemed to come alive, directly transforming into a jet-black stream of light and shooting into Wang Chen's body.

Its speed was ridiculously fast.

So fast that Wang Chen only saw an afterimage!

He only felt a cold sensation in his chest; looking down, there was nothing there.

However, upon inner inspection.

He could clearly see that the piece of eternal matter was floating quietly within his Dantian, still continuously emitting a faint black glow.

Upon seeing this scene.

The five people nearby who only had remnant souls left were all stunned.

“He... he... he succeeded? He actually really succeeded!”

“How is this possible? That is something that allows one to break through to the Eternal Realm. How could he obtain it so easily?”

“There is no doubt! He really succeeded! We have witnessed a miracle...”

“We were all in the Immortal Realm, and he is only at the Immortal Realm Middle Stage. How could he withstand the backlash of eternal matter?”

“It wasn't him who withstood it; the person behind him helped him withstand it.”

...

They had been trapped here for countless years and had seen countless intruders.

But without exception, they had all failed and died.

Only Wang Chen succeeded.

They were envious, they were jealous, but they did not hate.

Because they knew.

Wang Chen's success was no accident.

Behind Wang Chen stood a terrifying existence.

That existence, across endless space-time, sent down the Power of Imperial Fortune to help him resist the backlash of the eternal matter.

Such strength.

It had already exceeded their understanding.

“This kid's luck is just too good.”

“It's not luck, it's fate! Having a powerful backer is his fate.”

“The reason we failed and fell was because we didn't have such a fate.”

“Fate? I didn't believe in it before, thinking strength was everything. As long as my strength was enough, I was destiny!”

“Now I believe. No matter how strong one's strength is, it's not as good as having a good fate...”

Wang Chen paid no attention to their discussion.

After that piece of eternal matter entered his body, he immediately began to sense the changes within himself.

His Divine Thought probed into his Dantian to carefully observe the piece of eternal matter.

It floated there quietly.

Emitting black light, it looked harmless to humans and animals.

Wang Chen tried to mobilize it, wanting to see if he could activate its power.

The result.

Was no reaction at all.

It was like an ordinary stone, lying there silently, not listening to his commands at all.

“What's the situation?”

Wang Chen frowned and tried again, but there was still no response.

Refusing to give up, he continued to try.

But the result was beyond his expectations; that piece of eternal matter seemed as if it were welded shut inside his Dantian, showing no reaction whatsoever.

“Damn it, you think you're the boss? Living in my body and you still dare to ignore my commands? This is too much!”

But.

No matter what Wang Chen did.

Even in the end, when he used his Emperors Dharma Idol, the result was the same; that piece of eternal matter didn't give a damn about him!

Finally, having no other choice.

After Wang Chen sighed, he directly chose to give up.

Perhaps it was because he was only a Clone, or perhaps his strength was too low.

In short.

Right now, he had absolutely no way to deal with the piece of eternal matter in his Dantian.

However, he wasn't worried.

Anyway, this thing was already in his body. Once he returned and underwent Fusion with the original body, things would naturally become clear.

According to his speculation.

The most likely reason was that his current strength was still too weak. Once his strength reached the Immortal Realm Peak, he should be able to mobilize it.

After Wang Chen withdrew his Divine Thought.

He paid no more attention to those five people who only had a sliver of remnant soul left, merely casting a faint glance at them.

Then, he turned around directly.

And strode out toward the exit of the Forbidden Ground...

To him.

Those people were all insignificant; he had no interest in dealing with them.

His current thought was to return to the Xuantian Realm as quickly as possible.

Those remnant souls watched Wang Chen's departing back, remaining silent for a long time.

After a long while.

One of them couldn't help but speak up, breaking the silence.

“He just left like that?”

“What of it? With his strength, does he need to give you a heads-up before leaving?”

“I didn't mean it like that, but we are still remnant souls of the Immortal Realm. We should be of some use, right? Are we just going to be ignored like this?”

“So what if we're ignored? Given his strength and the power behind him, do we have anything that would attract him?”

“Then... then what should we do? After losing the eternal matter, this Forbidden Ground will no longer live up to its name...”

“We...”

No one answered.

They were now merely wisps of remnant souls, with less than one-ten-thousandth of their strength from when they were alive. Even if they walked out of the Forbidden Ground, what could they do?

It was better to stay here honestly; at least it was safe and no one would disturb them!

After Wang Chen walked out of the Forbidden Ground.

Without the slightest hesitation, he willed it, and the power of the space-time treasure mirror instantly enveloped him.

As the master of the space-time treasure mirror, he was not restricted and could choose to leave at any time.

In just an instant.

His figure began to gradually dissipate, finally disappearing completely.

When he reappeared.

He was already standing within the Tianxuan Dynasty, inside the Heavenly Palace where Wang Chen was located.

Wang Chen's original body.

Was currently sitting cross-legged on the Dragon Chair, eyes closed in Cultivation.

Sensing his return, he immediately opened his eyes.

“You're back?”

“I'm back!” The Clone nodded, then transformed into a stream of light and merged into the original body.

The moment the two underwent Fusion.

The piece of eternal matter suddenly jolted.

Immediately following.

A terrifying power began to surge directly within his body.

His cultivation.

Also began to climb at a speed visible to the naked eye; in just a few breaths of time.

Wang Chen's cultivation directly broke through to the Immortal Realm Peak.

When Wang Chen opened his eyes.

A sharp light flashed through them.

“eternal matter... it really is good stuff.”

“Next is to comprehend life and death. As long as I see through life and death, I can step into that legendary Eternal Realm...”
