465: Battle Body Advancement, Twelve Realms Power

The golden light of the myriad laws stele, like a vast river, swept across the entire sky of the Myriad Laws Realm. The phantoms of the past Guardians, after pouring all their power of belief into the stele, transformed into specks of light dust, integrating into the network of the twelve realms spirit web. Meanwhile, the myriad laws battle body, seated before the stele, had the eternal dao fruit imprint on its glabella resonating with the eight golden characters on the stele, “After ultimate silence, guardianship is reborn.” A majestic and vast energy, like surging tides, continuously poured into the battle body’s limbs and bones.

The golden light around the battle body grew even more intense. The runes originally inscribed on the reincarnation armor were now transforming at a visible rate. Those individual Guardian runes began to intertwine and weave, gradually evolving into the unique Law patterns of the Twelve Realms—the War Soul Totem of the Xuanhuang Realm, the spiritual plant Veins of the Lingxu Realm, the Wangchuan River patterns of the Reincarnation Realm, the Void Imprint of the Kongji Realm... Twelve distinct Dao Rhythms shimmered on the armor, merging without the slightest conflict.

“This is...” Lu Chen’s eyes narrowed. He leaped to the battle body’s side, his fingertips lightly tracing the newly formed patterns on the armor. He felt an extremely pure realm power surge into his body through his fingertips, making his Dao Heart tremble. “The Law power of the Twelve Realms is actively merging with the battle body!”

Yu Lan and the others also hurried forward, their eyes filled with shock as they watched the earth-shattering changes in the battle body. Zhu Rongyan raised her hand, activating the Grandmist Qi, and cautiously touched the battle body. However, as soon as the Hongmeng Purple Qi approached, it was enveloped by the light surrounding the battle body, transforming into a wisp of pure energy and merging into the battle body’s Origin.

“After the myriad laws stele was repaired, it can actually draw upon the full power of the twelve realms spirit web!” Zhu Rongyan exclaimed in surprise. “The battle body’s Origin was originally condensed from the belief of Cultivators from the Twelve Realms. Now, with the blessing of the myriad laws stele, it is truly transforming into the Incarnation of the Twelve Realms!”

Ling Xu’s gaze was fixed on the imprint on the battle body’s glabella. That imprint was originally just a simple golden pattern, but now, nourished by the Laws of the Twelve Realms, it slowly unfurled, transforming into the shape of a twelve-pointed star. Each point corresponded to the Origin Dao Rhythm of a realm, and between the points, the energy Veins of the great dao cycle flowed. From a distance, it looked like a miniature star map of the Twelve Realms.

“Look! The battle body’s guardian sword!” Green Bud suddenly cried out in surprise.

Everyone looked over, only to see the guardian sword in the battle body’s hand, which had once been corroded and chipped by the ultimate silence shadow, now radiating dazzling, brilliant light. Twelve different colored lights burst forth from the sword body: red, as fiery as a Xuanhuang War Soul; green, as vibrant as Ling Xu Vitality; blue, as profound as Reincarnation tides... The twelve-colored light intertwined, actually condensing a small phantom of the spirit web on the sword body. The chip on the blade had long been repaired to its original state, and even sharper than before, nourished by the energy.

“Buzz—”

A heaven-shaking hum erupted from within the battle body.

The myriad laws battle body slowly opened its eyes. Its gaze was no longer a single golden color, but reflected the mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars of the Twelve Realms. It slowly stood up, its tens of thousands of feet tall body reaching the heavens and earth, and the twelve-colored light around it soared into the sky, echoing the golden light of the myriad laws stele, actually condensing a spirit web canopy spanning ten thousand miles above the Myriad Laws Realm.

Beneath the canopy, the Spiritual Qi of the Twelve Realms, as if drawn by an invisible force, transformed into streaks of light and converged towards the battle body. The battle body merely raised its hand, and twelve energy torrents of different colors condensed into a brilliant light sphere in its palm. Within the light sphere, Law runes flowed ceaselessly, containing power capable of shaking heaven and earth.

“I am the twelve realms battle body!”

The battle body’s voice was no longer its usual gentle tone, but carried an authority that transcended the All Heavens and Myriad Realms. This voice, like the sound of the Great Dao, spread along the network of the spirit web, reaching every corner of the Twelve Realms.

In the War Soul Cave of the Xuanhuang Realm, countless Soul Cultivators looked up at the twelve-colored light in the sky, tears of excitement streaming down their faces; in Qinglan Valley of the Lingxu Realm, spiritual plants frantically swayed their branches and leaves, absorbing the pure Spiritual Qi descending from the sky; by the Wangchuan River in the Reincarnation Realm, the Wheel-Turning King gazed at the canopy spanning the heavens, his eyes filled with awe... All living beings in the Twelve Realms felt this power originating from the battle body—it was the power belonging to each and every one of them, the common will of the Twelve Realms.

“The battle body has advanced!” Li Dao clenched his fists, his eyes filled with excitement. “From now on, it will be the Guardian God of the Twelve Realms!”

Lu Chen looked at the twelve realms battle body before him, an indescribable excitement welling up in his heart. He could clearly feel that the connection between the battle body and the twelve realms spirit web had become unprecedentedly close. Every breath of the battle body influenced the flow of Spiritual Qi in the Twelve Realms; every swing of the battle body’s sword could draw upon the Law power of the Twelve Realms.

“This is the true myriad laws battle body,” Lu Chen murmured softly, his eyes filled with relief. “It is no longer a simple aggregation of belief, but the Incarnation of the Twelve Realms, the Guardian of the great dao cycle.”

Just then, Ling Xu suddenly spoke, a glint flashing in his eyes: “The twelve-pointed star imprint on the battle body’s glabella is clearly the Origin hub of the Twelve Realms! If we can establish a connection with this star imprint, wouldn’t we be able to remotely control part of the battle body’s power?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s eyes lit up.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded: “This method is feasible. Among the Patrol Envoys, you are proficient in Talisman and Formation, Green Bud excels in the Dao of Vitality, and Li Dao is skilled in Body Refining... The twelve of you correspond perfectly to the Laws of the Twelve Realms. It’s most fitting for you to establish a connection with the battle body.”

Ling Xu and the others all showed joy upon hearing this. They exchanged glances, then soared into the air, each activating their own Origin Power and flying towards the twelve-pointed star imprint on the battle body’s glabella.

Green Bud activated the Vitality power of the Lingxu Realm, transforming into a Emerald green streak of light that merged into one corner of the star imprint; Li Dao activated the War Soul power of the Xuanhuang Realm, transforming into a crimson streak of light that merged into another corner of the star imprint; Ling Xu, in turn, activated his Talisman power, transforming into a pale purple streak of light that flowed into the star imprint... Twelve streaks of light of different colors, like twelve long rainbows, perfectly matched the twelve points of the star imprint.

The moment the last streak of light merged into the star imprint, the battle body’s eyes suddenly lit up, and a vast power surged through the star imprint into Ling Xu and the others’ bodies.

“It’s done!” Ling Xu shouted excitedly. “I can feel the battle body’s power! I can mobilize the energy of the spirit web to set up the Twelve Realms Samsara Formation!”

Green Bud was also overjoyed: “I can use the battle body’s power to cultivate reincarnation silent grass and purify the entire ultimate silence mist!”

Everyone’s faces were filled with excitement. They knew that from now on, they would no longer fight alone, but would stand shoulder to shoulder with the twelve realms battle body, jointly resisting the ultimate silence calamity.

Just as everyone was filled with excitement, a golden light shot out from the battle body’s glabella, transforming into an ancient Jade Slip that slowly landed in Lu Chen’s hand.

Lu Chen took the Jade Slip, and with a sweep of his Divine Sense, a relieved smile appeared on his face. This Jade Slip recorded the “Twelve Realms Battle Body Art,” which detailed the method of the battle body’s advancement, the technique for using its power, and how to establish a connection with the Twelve Realms Patrol Envoys to remotely control the battle body’s power.

“With this art, we can completely control the power of the twelve realms battle body!” Lu Chen clenched the Jade Slip, his voice resonant and powerful, spreading to every corner of the Myriad Laws Realm.

Ling Xu and the others came forward, eagerly studying the contents of the Jade Slip with Lu Chen.

None of them noticed that the ultimate silence shadow, deep within the Myriad Laws Realm, began to violently churn upon sensing the aura of the twelve realms battle body. From within the shadow came a roar filled with resentment and apprehension. In that roar was monstrous rage, yet subtly mixed with a hint of fear.

Evidently, the advancement of the twelve realms battle body had thoroughly enraged the Lord of Ultimate Silence.

The shadow’s churning speed grew faster and faster, and the Ultimate Silence Power around it became denser. An aura even more terrifying than before was slowly brewing within the shadow.

A more tragic decisive battle was quietly approaching.

Lu Chen keenly noticed the change in the shadow. He looked up towards the depths of the Myriad Laws Realm, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes. He knew that the Lord of Ultimate Silence would never give up.

But this time, there was no fear in his heart.

Because behind him were the Cultivators of the Twelve Realms, the spirit web of the Twelve Realms, and that towering twelve realms battle body.

The battle song of guardianship was about to play.

And they were already prepared.
