208: Chapter 210 Premature Body Forging, Ten Deaths Without Survival

Deep within the Yuanhe Divine Palace.

A black stone hall, sealed for countless years, slowly opened.

Rumble!

The heavy stone doors slid open to both sides, and an ancient, heavy, and blazing aura that was almost oppressive rushed out from inside the hall.

Lin Yi followed behind the Yuan Yi. Just as he stepped into the stone hall, he saw clusters of light floating in the air.

Some looked like a drop of golden divine blood.

Some looked like a piece of green jade bone.

Some looked like a transparent heart submerged in water.

There were also wisps of strange Origin, like mist and fire, slowly circulating in the Void Realm.

Any of these things, if taken to the Nine Provinces, would be enough to drive Martial Saints and Martial Gods crazy.

But here, they were merely body-casting resources prepared by the Yuanhe Divine Palace for Core Disciples.

The Yuan Yi leaped onto a stone platform and swept its tail.

A light screen emerged.

"A Top-grade Divine Body is not an ordinary divine body."

Its voice was cold.

"For a low-grade divine body, as long as there are enough resources and the Foundation is not too poor, it can mostly be achieved."

"A Mid-grade Divine Body requires talent, resources, and cultivation methods all together."

"A high-grade divine body is already the threshold for a true Genius of a Middle Realm."

"As for the Top-grade Divine Body..."

The Yuan Yi looked at Lin Yi.

"That is a Foundation that can charge into the World Realm, and even has hope of reaching the peak of a True God."

"This kind of divine body cannot be cast simply by piling up resources."

Lin Yi nodded.

"I know."

"You know jack shit!"

The Yuan Yi couldn't help but curse again.

Its claws pointed at the treasures floating in the hall.

"These resources were originally meant to be used after everything was fully prepared for you."

"Once your innate chapter of the 'Black Demon War Heaven Body' reaches the third revolution of Perfection, once your Divine Soul reaches the Undying Realm, once your will truly touches the threshold of immortality, and once your Dao of Water deepens by another level."

"At that time, with your talent, the success rate of casting a Top-grade Divine Body would be at least seventy to eighty percent."

"But now?"

It sneered.

"Thirty percent."

"No, maybe not even thirty percent."

Lin Yi's expression did not change.

Seeing him like this, the Yuan Yi gnashed its teeth in anger.

"Lin Yi, I am not trying to scare you."

"The first step of casting a divine body is to shatter the old body."

"The second step is to absorb the divine source."

"The third step is to reshape the Foundation."

"If an ordinary divine body casting fails, at most the Physical Body crumbles and the Divine Soul is damaged, and there is still a chance of recovery."

"But if a Top-grade Divine Body casting fails, the divine body's Origin will directly backlash."

"Your Physical Body, Golden Core, Divine Soul, and will will all be torn to shreds."

"When that happens, you might not even have the chance for Reincarnation."

Lin Yi looked up at the divine lights in the hall.

"Let's begin."

The Yuan Yi stared at him.

Only after a long time did it whisper:

"Madman."

The next moment, it formed hand seals with its paws.

Buzz!

The entire black stone hall shook violently.

Ripples of ancient patterns lit up from the ground, spreading up along the surrounding walls.

A deep crevice split open on the ceiling of the hall, showering down countless starlight-like specks of light.

The body-casting treasures floating in the Void Realm also seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, slowly descending toward the center of the grand Formation.

Lin Yi walked into the heart of the Formation.

He sat down cross-legged.

The pitch-black saber was placed horizontally across his knees.

The Yuan Yi stood outside the Formation, its voice more serious than ever before.

"I will ask you one last time."

"It is still not too late to stop now."

Lin Yi closed his eyes.

"Activate the Formation."

The Yuan Yi was silent for a moment, then pressed its paw down hard.

Boom!

The grand Formation was fully activated.

The first drop of golden divine blood turned into a stream of light and sank into the space between Lin Yi's eyebrows.

Instantly, Lin Yi's body shook violently.

That was no ordinary essence blood.

It was the Blood of Divine Source, used to ignite the Foundation of the Physical Body when condensing a Top-grade Divine Body.

The moment the Blood of Divine Source entered his body, all the blood inside Lin Yi seemed to boil.

His Meridians expanded.

His bones vibrated and hummed.

Fine golden patterns emerged beneath his skin.

If he were an ordinary Genius, this step should be nourishing the Physical Body and activating the Foundation.

But Lin Yi's accumulation was insufficient.

This power was too overbearing.

Crack!

The bones in his right arm cracked first.

Immediately following were his shoulder bones, breastbone, and spine.

A dense series of cracking sounds echoed from within his body.

Lin Yi frowned slightly but did not make a sound.

The Yuan Yi's face darkened.

"Your bones are already cracking in the very first step..."

"I told you your Foundation wasn't enough!"

But the Formation had already started and could not be stopped.

The second treasure descended.

The piece of green jade bone turned into a clear light and fused into Lin Yi's spine.

Lin Yi's back arched violently.

It was as if an immemorial divine Dragon wanted to break free from his spine.

His entire spine began to be forcibly reshaped.

Old bones shattered continuously.

New bones grew continuously.

The speed of growth could not even keep up with the speed of shattering.

Blood seeped from his pores, but as soon as it appeared, it was evaporated into a bloody mist by the golden divine source.

Lin Yi's entire body was enveloped in a faint bloody mist.

The Yuan Yi clenched its paws tightly as it watched.

This was only the beginning.

The truly dangerous part of the Top-grade Divine Body casting had not yet arrived.

The next moment, the transparent heart descended.

Instead of fusing into Lin Yi's chest, it hovered above his head, draping down wisps of transparent threads.

As soon as the threads touched Lin Yi's body, they pierced directly into his Divine Soul.

Boom!

Lin Yi's Sea of Consciousness shook violently.

A tearing, excruciating pain exploded from the depths of his Divine Soul.

If the bone-shattering and body-tearing just now was only physical pain, then this was like peeling his consciousness apart inch by inch.

A Top-grade Divine Body required not only reshaping the body.

It also required the Divine Soul to be strong enough to bear the divine body.

Otherwise, if the Physical Body were too strong, the Divine Soul would instead be crushed by its own weight.

Within Lin Yi's Sea of Consciousness, the phantom of his Divine Soul shook violently.

Crack after crack emerged.

The Yuan Yi's face changed completely.

"Not good."

"The pressure on the Divine Soul is mounting too quickly."

It immediately manipulated the Formation, wanting to slow down the infusion of the divine source.

But in the next instant, the remaining divine body Origin in the hall seemed to be drawn by the Water Dao Body within Lin Yi, actively surging toward him.

The Yuan Yi's pupils shrank.

"Don't absorb it!"

"You can't suppress it right now!"

But it was already too late.

Boom!

An aqua-blue divine light erupted from Lin Yi's body.

The Water Dao Body instinctively tried to harmonize all the Origins.

But the Origin of the Top-grade Divine Body was too strong and too chaotic.

The Water Dao Body could make them flow, but it could not immediately govern them.

For a moment, it was as if countless raging rivers were colliding simultaneously inside Lin Yi's body.

The golden divine blood wanted to transform his flesh.

The green jade bone wanted to recast his bones and muscles.

The transparent heart source wanted to force its way into his Divine Soul.

The power of the Black Demon War Heaven Body was also forced to circulate, attempting to forcibly integrate all of this into his Physical Body.

But Lin Yi's Innate body, after all, had not yet been truly polished to Perfection.

Bang!

His left arm suddenly exploded.

His flesh disintegrated into a cloud of golden-red mist.

Immediately after, his calves, shoulders, and chest also began to rupture continuously.

Lin Yi finally let out a muffled groan.

The pain was too intense.

So intense that even his will wavered slightly under the impact.

But he did not stop.

Nor did he beg the Yuan Yi to stop it.

He merely circulated the Dao of Water, gathering his shattered flesh back together over and over again.

If it shattered, he would gather it again.

If it shattered again, he would gather it again.

But with each regrouping, the next collapse came even faster.

Outside the Formation, the Yuan Yi stared at him intently, keeping its voice extremely low.

"Hold on."

"Right now is only the shattering of the old body."

"When you truly absorb the divine source, it will be far more painful than this."

Lin Yi did not answer.

He no longer had any spare energy to answer.

His body was like a weapon being repeatedly hammered and smashed to pieces.

Every inch of his flesh was collapsing.

Every single bone was fracturing.

Every wisp of his Divine Soul was being pulled apart.

The grand Formation spun faster and faster.

The lights in the hall grew brighter and brighter.

The Yuan Yi suddenly looked up, staring outside the stone hall.

It sensed that outside the membrane of the Jiuzhou World, a terrifying aura was rapidly approaching.

Sanshan Helong.

It was even faster than it had estimated.

The Yuan Yi's expression turned grim.

"This is trouble..."

Within the heart of the Formation.

Lin Yi also seemed to have sensed that aura.

He slowly opened his eyes.

There was no retreat in his eyes.

Only a profound calmness.

The next moment, all the body-casting Origins surged into his body simultaneously.

Boom!

Lin Yi's entire body shook violently.

The right half of his body disintegrated into a bloody mist on the spot.

The Yuan Yi's face changed drastically.

"Lin Yi!"
