124: Nirvana and rebirth!

At this moment, another figure descended upon the place where Lin Chen was undergoing his tribulation—it was Bai Hong.

He had guessed it might be Lin Chen undergoing tribulation and immediately sensed trouble; such a huge commotion would definitely attract the prying eyes of other races.

When he arrived, he just happened to see Long Yuan and his group of super powerhouses.

“Lin Chen, how are you doing now?”

Bai Hong immediately sent a voice transmission, asking.

Lin Chen’s Mind Body glowed, exuding a powerful aura.

With his mind awakened, Lin Chen could sense everything within the entire Eastern Region with a single thought.

Thus, he had already known about the arrival of Long Yuan and the others.

“Senior Bai, I still have one last tribulation. You don’t need to intervene; just leave it to me.”

Bai Hong’s expression brightened upon hearing this. The last tribulation! This meant that the Human Race was finally about to produce a Transcendent Realm powerhouse!

“Alright, be careful.”

Lin Chen felt the terrifying aura brewing above the void, and at this moment, he was fearless.

He looked at Long Yuan and the other powerhouses, a cold sneer in his heart.

Martial God Realm cultivators posed no threat to him. As for the three Half-Step Transcendence Realm clan leaders of other races, they dared not act, for if they did, they would forcibly trigger their own Transcendence Tribulation!

Now, Lin Chen only needed to guard against the two Transcendent Realm cultivators of the Black Dragon Clan and the eight Mind Will projections.

“Human Race brat, I admit, you are indeed monstrous.”

“But today, it ends here.”

Long Yuan directly transformed into his true form; his dragon body, obscuring the sky and sun, coiled in the void, exuding an incomparably powerful aura.

Lin Chen remained calm at the sight, an invisible Mental Power sweeping across.

Long Yuan sensed something and his expression immediately changed drastically.

It was a mental attack!

Mental attacks ignore all physical defenses and can directly target a person’s soul or Mind Body.

At this moment, a glowing object appeared within Long Yuan’s body, neutralizing a portion of the mental attack.

Lin Chen frowned; that was a spiritual treasure for the mind!

However, it was merely an initial profound heaven spiritual treasure, only capable of neutralizing 70% of the mental attack.

Boom—

The neutralized mental attack struck Long Yuan’s soul.

Owooo—

Long Yuan cried out in pain, his massive dragon body instantly plummeting to the ground, rolling uncontrollably.

All the other races watched in horror!

“Retreat, this child now possesses Source Beginning Realm strength; you cannot contend with him.”

The several Mind Will projections exchanged glances and slowly surrounded Lin Chen.

Lin Chen frowned at the sight; mental attacks were ineffective against these Mind Will projections, whose Mental Power was far stronger than his own.

Now, having lost his physical body, he only had mental attack methods left.

What to do?

Lin Chen’s thoughts raced, and suddenly, he looked up at the void above.

He could only take a gamble!

Immediately, his Mind Body erupted, transforming into a rainbow light and flying towards the eleventh layer of the Transcendence Tribulation brewing above his head.

The eight Mind Will projections also chased after Lin Chen.

“Quick, stop him! He still has one last tribulation—the Mind Tribulation.”

“This tribulation poses no danger to this child!”

Mind Tribulation?

Lin Chen’s heart surged with joy; there was hope!

If he hadn’t developed a Mind Body before, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to pass this tribulation... Suddenly!

Boom—

Wave after wave of extremely powerful mental attacks instantly swept over Lin Chen.

The eleventh tribulation descended!

Lin Chen’s Mind Body also contained powerful Mental Power. While resisting this tribulation, he continued to fly upwards.

This tribulation indeed posed no threat to him.

After all, what he faced now was merely the Transcendence Tribulation.

Thus, Lin Chen continued to fly upwards against the pressure, with the eight figures below chasing after him.

And the mental attacks of this tribulation grew stronger and stronger.

Relying on his powerful willpower, Lin Chen maintained extreme speed, his target being the depths of the void.

In his perception, something there was attracting him!

This was an intuition he had since the birth of his Mind Body, a subtle feeling.

After an unknown period of time.

Finally, the eleventh tribulation ended, and the mental attacks disappeared.

Lin Chen also reached the deepest part of the void, where there was a dark vortex!

A terrifying suction force suddenly emanated from the vortex, directly pulling Lin Chen’s Mind Body inside.

The people who had arrived behind him stopped in their tracks.

“Still a step too late; he has entered the World Core of this mortal realm.”

“Those who pass more than six layers of the Transcendence Tribulation will be drawn to the origin of the mortal realm to receive the baptism of the heavenly dao will of the mortal realm.”

A Mind Will projection of the Black Dragon Clan said calmly.

“This child is too monstrous; he is already a mortal enemy to our clans. We must resolve him to prevent future troubles.”

“In my opinion, we should just send our true bodies over and guard outside the Azure Cang Realm!”

A Mind Will projection of the Spirit Race said with killing intent.

“Agreed!”

Immediately after, the eight Will projections quickly descended; they needed to prepare!

...At this moment, Lin Chen arrived in an independent space.

This space was immensely vast, with eleven enormous light sources particularly dazzling in the void.

“It’s here, I’ve been here once before!”

“Does this mean I’ve successfully passed the tribulation?”

Lin Chen felt suspicious. Before, he sensed something here that attracted him, which was why he desperately flew upwards.

He didn't expect to enter the World Core of the Azure Cang Realm.

Just as he was pondering.

A wisp of Will Power appeared in this space, slowly condensing into the form of a three-year-old child.

This child, with a few leaps, arrived before Lin Chen.

Lin Chen’s face was filled with horror at the sight; the faint aura emanating from the child made his heart tremble. Before him, he felt as small as an ant!

This couldn’t be the original Will of the Azure Cang Realm, could it?

At this moment, the child spoke, his voice devoid of emotion, very mechanical.

“You have two paths to choose from.”

“The first path: become my messenger, guard this world. I will grant you some authority, and you will be omnipotent in this world, but you can never leave here!”

“The second path: I will help you increase your strength. Within 1,000 years, you must help me collect a complete Mortal Realm Origin Power!”

Lin Chen listened quietly to the child’s words, feeling very surprised at this moment.

heavenly dao will’s messenger?

It sounded good, but he wouldn’t stay in the mortal realm forever.

If this messenger could secure a spot for the Human Race in the future, it would be good, and he would feel much more at ease after leaving.

As for the complete World Origin Power required by the second path?

That was equivalent to destroying a mortal realm. If a mortal realm lost its World Origin, it would experience premature world destruction, and then it would take a long time for the world to be reborn!

Seizing the origin of a mortal realm was absolutely forbidden by Hong Country!

Countless beings lived in the mortal realms; world destruction would implicate countless lives. Mortal realms were the foundation of the Endless Realm and could not be wantonly destroyed.

However, to seize the complete origin power of a mortal realm, one’s strength would need to reach an extremely profound level, capable of contending with the heavenly dao will of the mortal realm!

Lin Chen didn’t want to choose either path... “Um... is there a third path to choose?”

The child spoke indifferently, his tone still devoid of emotion.

“The third path—death!”

After speaking, a world-destroying pressure bore down on Lin Chen.

Lin Chen’s Mind Body instantly dimmed slightly.

Killing intent flared in his heart, but due to the vast disparity in strength, he suppressed it.

“I choose the second path!”

Lin Chen said calmly, but in his heart, he had already sentenced the Will of the Azure Cang Realm to death!

The child revealed a strange smile at the sight.

He raised his hand and waved; a ball of light flew over, instantly merging into Lin Chen’s Mind Body.

Boom—

A terrifying aura of life erupted, and Lin Chen’s physical body began to reassemble. During the reassembly process, streaks of golden light burst forth.

After a long while, Lin Chen’s physical body was completely reassembled.

He eagerly felt the changes in his body.

The next moment, his expression was shocked, his face filled with disbelief.

The system panel showed:

Golden Body: Eighteenth Forging + (Costs 100 trillion energy points to upgrade.) (Note: Physical body is comparable to an initial Chaos Spiritual Treasure; Physical Strength can contend with late-stage Source Beginning Realm.)
