Chapter 1012: Chapter 995: Divine Power Baptism, Endless Agony!

The seed of divine power, this was Xiao Chen’s fate, and could equally be seen as the source of divine power, containing ample divine energy.

"Although your Physique for War is unparalleled among your peers, you are still struggling to adapt to divine power. To gain the favor of divine power, you must undergo its baptism!"

This orb of divine power, hundreds of feet in size, was shining with Divine Radiance, as if forged by all the colors between Heaven and Earth, making Xiao Chen feel an aura that encompassed everything.

"Enter the divine power to be baptized. Whether you can truly grasp divine power will depend on your destiny!"

Suddenly, as Xiao Chen’s mind wavered, the mysterious voice of the heavens rang out again, startling him awake.

"This orb of divine power can help you cleanse your body of inherent impurities and purify your entire being. The longer you endure, the greater the benefits. This divine power contains immense energy; absorbing and refining it can enhance your cultivation. However, once you enter, oppressive force will arise, bringing endless agony. If you cannot endure, you will be repelled!"

At this moment, the voice of the spiritual beings sounded no longer ethereal but as if it were speaking directly into Xiao Chen’s ear.

However, Xiao Chen’s eyes became tranquil as if he was struggling with something. His will was in a state of silence, and his Soul World was struggling, making the final decision!

It seemed as though after a long silence, Xiao Chen abruptly lifted his head, his eyes shooting out two sharp gleams, filled with determination.

Cultivating Divinity!

Even if he doesn’t become a spiritual being in the future, it will vastly enhance his martial strength!

This power was even stronger than that of Monarchs, and on the same level as the prowess of Emperors. If he could cultivate even the most basic divine power, he would have the strength to resist Monarchs!

It would at least allow him to contend with Monarchs, instead of his own attacks melting away like ice and snow before a Monarch’s power!

Even if he could not become a spiritual being, as long as he could reach peak strength, it would not be in vain!

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s insight shone through his Soul World, his thoughts reaching a profound understanding, penetrating to the essence of his being.

Hum!

The very next moment, Xiao Chen’s body turned into a streak of light, violently crashing into the seed of divine power.

An incomparably majestic aura that contained all things suddenly enveloped his entire body. At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to feel as if all of Heaven and Earth, all the auras, were within his grasp!

Hum hum hum!

Xiao Chen felt as if he had merged into a primordial womb. All the pores on his body opened instantaneously, and streams of divine power continuously infiltrated into his body through his pores!

The divine power was initially gentle and soothing. As soon as it entered Xiao Chen’s body, it extended to his limbs and bones, his organs, and even the tiniest part of his body was cared for by the divine power!

At this moment, Xiao Chen even became immersed in this sensation, as if he had returned to his mother’s womb, enveloped in a warm embrace.

Every ailment, fatigue, and deficiency of Blood Qi within his body seemed to be swept away completely and became incredibly replenished. It was a sensation of fundamental integration, and Xiao Chen realized that the rich divine power, once permeating his body, actually began to split into various types of energy.

Inside his body, every Blood Crystal Diamond conveyed a feeling of joy. The vitality of the origin became more vigorous as it crazily drew in the golden divine power!

The originally shriveled Blood Crystal Diamonds gradually became saturated, each one bursting with nine-colored divine brilliance, and this sensation was even more intense than when Xiao Chen first absorbed the Chaotic Airflow!

"Is this divine power? Immense and profound, pure!"

Pure!

This was the realization divine power brought to Xiao Chen, as if it was the ultimate derivation of strength. As this divine power entered Xiao Chen’s body, on the surface, it seemed merely to invigorate him, but at a deeper level, it was improving his physique, allowing him to adapt to the divine power!

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, feeling the changes within himself, and couldn’t help but show a trace of satisfaction. When he first derived the incomplete divine power, he even shattered his palm; firstly because of the domineering nature of divine power, and secondly because his body simply couldn’t cope with such a magnificent force!

The innate spiritual beings born of Heaven and Earth were naturally able to wield this immense power since they were the favored children of Heaven and Earth, but for the human race, born later, the quintessence of the early dawn of Heaven and Earth was completely exhausted, instead an endless murkiness remained on Earth, which naturally tainted humans with impurities from the very beginning!

Now, this source of divine power was cleansing Xiao Chen himself, with streams of divine power continuously entering deep into his body, expelling wisps of gray murkiness.

This was the hidden filth deep within the human race!

Hum!

Divine power, like little dragons, continuously roamed throughout his body, on the surface of his muscles, deep within his organs, even deep within his blood marrow—these were all places cleansed by divine power!

With the cleansing, Xiao Chen could feel that between his War Body and divine power, there was no longer such a barrier; while not supremely compatible, there was no longer any rejection.

This at least meant his War Body could wield divine power!

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, just as Xiao Chen seemed to be immersed in this soothing feeling, an unexpected and intense pain like bone cutting and heart drilling surged within him, a pain that penetrated his spirit!

This agony arose from every bit of flesh in his body, every piece of his battle bones, every drop from deep within his blood marrow. He had no power to resist, and this pain, even for him as a Near Monarch Expert, was too much to bear!

This moment was indeed the most critical one for the fusion of his body with divine power. Should he succeed, he would be able to wield divine power for himself in the future, defying or even striking at Monarchs with a Half-King Body—an aspiration not far-fetched!

Striking at Monarchs!

This was a feat to astonish any Warrior!

Even the direct descendants of the Taihao Clan, with the primordial bloodline of the Taihao Human Emperor, wouldn’t dare assert they could strike at Monarchs while in the Half-King Realm!

The energy of divine power continued to seep into his body, and with each increment, an unending wave of agony emanated. It could be said that the amount of divine energy Xiao Chen absorbed directly equaled the intensity of his pain!

It was as if countless ants were gnawing at his flesh, Xiao Chen’s expression twisted into something fierce and terrifying, the pain had reached deep within his soul.

Wave after wave of torment relentlessly hammered at his Mind, the tyranny of divine powers forcibly changing his physique, with no regard for whether he could endure it!

Crack, crack, crack!

Clenching his teeth tightly, Xiao Chen persevered with all his might. Right now, the more divine energy he could absorb, the deeper his affinity with divine power would become later, and the more profound his control when wielding it.
