7: Chapter 7 Seizing the Opportunity, Lightning Punishment Backlash

Feeling the overbearing energy emanating from the Primordial Purple Qi within his body, although Yun Chenfei was prepared, he still felt a bit inadequate when truly facing it.

He took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

"I don't believe I can't refine you..."

Yun Chenfei activated the True Origin power in his body, which had already mutated somewhat because of the seven-colored blood lotus, and quickly surged toward the Primordial Purple Qi.

The two energies engaged in a fierce struggle within his body.

At this time, Yun Chenfei had no Medicinal Pills or Spirit Stones left; the Seven-Leaf Snow Lotus Ginseng left by Ye Qingshan was just right for replenishing the continuously consumed True Origin power.

Although the Primordial Purple Qi was violent and overbearing, it was like duckweed without roots; under Yun Chenfei's continuous activation of True Origin power for refining and absorption, it eventually yielded.

At the current speed, Yun Chenfei originally thought it would take at least a year to fully refine and absorb this wisp of Primordial Purple Qi.

But every time he absorbed a trace, his Physical Body strength, bone strength, blood vitality, and Meridians strength, including his cultivation, all received a massive boost.

Even his Soul strength increased slightly, and the refining speed was faster each time than the last.

Absorbing only a trace each time like this, several months later, Yun Chenfei finally finished absorbing that index-finger-sized wisp of Primordial Purple Qi.

By this time, his whole body was covered in black grime, and the room was filled with a thick, pungent stench.

The blood vitality in his body was abundant, surging incessantly like the waters of the Yangtze River; his Physical Body was crystal clear, emitting a mysterious and ancient, heavy aura.

Yun Chenfei felt that every part of his body had received a qualitative improvement; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he had undergone a complete transformation.

"Ding! Because Ye Qingshan lost the Primordial Purple Qi and missed a Heaven-Defying Opportunity, the plot has undergone a massive change."

"Host has gained +50 plot points."

"Because the protagonist Ye Qingshan lost the Opportunity of the Innate Grandmist Saint Body, his destiny value has decreased by 3000, dropping from purple Luck to blue Luck."

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Primordial Holy Body; destiny value +1000, changing from green Luck to blue Luck."

"The Primordial Holy Body has undergone Fusion with the heart of the blood lotus. Please name the new Physique, Host, or have the System generate one randomly."

A series of synthesized electronic voices rang in Yun Chenfei's ears, making him, who was already in a good mood, even more carried away.

"Have the two Physiques fused together? Then let's call it the Primordial Saint Body!"

"Ding! Congratulations Host, the new Physique has been successfully named the Primordial Saint Body."

Next, he casually opened the System panel.

Host: Yun Chenfei

Identity: Saint Son of the Profound Moon Sect

Physique: Primordial Saint Body (Gold)

Cultivation: Fourth-grade Condensing Origin Realm

Innate Divine Ability: Sword Heart Clarity

Cultivation Technique Overview: Nine Revolutions Profound Moon Art (Earth Rank High Grade), Nine Swords Slaying Heaven (Earth Rank Peak Grade), Eight Steps of the Heavenly Demon (Earth Rank High Grade)...

destiny value: 3000 (Blue)

plot points: 50

Current Status: Notorious, enemies everywhere, abundant blood vitality, Defying Heaven to Change Fate, imminent Lightning Punishment.

Recent Situation: Due to the Host's Rebirth and Defying Heaven to Change Fate, temporarily unable to determine...

Character Bio: Saint Son of the Profound Moon Sect, committed many evils, notorious reputation, a total major villain in the story, a stepping stone for the protagonist, an experience baby, a treasure-offering boy; after being drained of Luck and Opportunities by the destined protagonist, he is cruelly murdered...

Yun Chenfei noticed that "Rising from the Dead" in his current status had changed to "Abundant Blood Vitality."

"Notorious Reputation" had become "Notorious," and "Good Luck Overhead" had become "Lightning Punishment Overhead."

Additionally, his cultivation had increased by three minor levels.

The Primordial Purple Qi is truly Heaven-Defying!

And this was just the Heaven-Defying Opportunity of one destined protagonist.

From this, it could be seen that the Opportunities of other destined protagonists would certainly not be bad, perhaps even stronger.

It seems that the road to counterattacking and becoming a destined protagonist is long and arduous.

Wait, Lightning Punishment overhead? Could it be...

"Ding! Host has successfully seized a Heaven-Defying Opportunity from a destined protagonist. Since the opponent's destiny value is higher than the Host's, the Saint Body Heavenly Tribulation the Host is about to endure will be doubled."

"Ding! Detected that Ye Qingshan's hatred value toward the Host is 100 points, irreconcilable; the power of the Lightning Punishment is doubled x10, increasing the power of the descending Lightning Punishment by 1000%!"

"Warm reminder: The Host can select any one friend and use the favorability between the two to reduce the power of the Lightning Punishment. The effect depends on the level of favorability."

The series of System prompts made Yun Chenfei turn pale with fright.

"System, what's going on? The destined protagonist's destiny value is higher than mine, and I get punished for seizing his Opportunity?"

"Yes. destiny value determines everyone's Opportunity and fate. If you seize the Opportunity of someone whose destiny value is higher than your own, you will suffer backlash."

"Then if I kill him directly, will the backlash be even more severe?"

"Yes. Directly acting to kill someone with a destiny value higher than your own will increase the backlash by dozens of times."

Fortunately, that old dog Zou Su saved Ye Qingshan, otherwise I might have just been resurrected only to...

Putting his thoughts away, Yun Chenfei's gaze lingered on the 50 plot points he had obtained this time. He asked.

"System, what are plot points used for?"

"plot points can currently be used for the lucky draw. Each draw consumes 5 plot points."

"Warm reminder: A ten-draw streak can increase the probability of winning!"

Hearing the System's answer, Yun Chenfei felt that the System was trying to trick him out of his plot points.

But considering that plot points had no other use for now, he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and used all 50 plot points he had just earned for the lucky draw.

"System, let's do a ten-draw streak!"

"Ding! This draw failed to win. Luck value +1, please keep trying!"

"Ding! This draw failed to win. Luck value +1, please keep trying!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining hundred-year nether soul fruit x3."

...

After ten consecutive draws, except for three hundred-year nether soul fruits, all the rest were Luck value +1.

Seizing the Opportunity of a destined protagonist—the backlash really is severe enough.

hundred-year nether soul fruit, a rare fruit of heaven and earth that can be used to increase Soul Power; its pit can be cultivated into a seedling.

This fruit isn't bad; I'll just give one to Senior Sister to make up for the time I messed up her spirit fruit garden.

I might as well check Senior Sister's character bio while I'm at it to see how much favorability she has for me.

Yun Chenfei thought to himself.

No sooner said than done; with Lightning Punishment overhead, who knows when it will strike.

Yun Chenfei put away the hundred-year nether soul fruits and headed straight for Yi Kuhan's Immortal Cave.

Hearing that the little brat was coming to her Immortal Cave again.

Yi Kuhan was terrified he would mess up her spirit fruit garden again; this batch of spirit fruits hadn't even ripened yet. She hurriedly went out to intercept him.

After meeting Yi Kuhan, Yun Chenfei's gaze swept over her chest inconspicuously, and then he quietly activated the System scan.

But the results of this scan were very surprising to him.
