At the moment of collision, w.a.n.g Chong felt an intense resistance, but the piercing attribute of Psychic Energy allowed the Psychic Thorn to squeeze its way in.

But a moment later, w.a.n.g Chong felt something strange…

Bang!

As if he had prodded a beehive or triggered a volcano, a destructive wave of energy exploded outward, traveling along the trail of w.a.n.g Chong’s Psychic Energy.

Not only that, the calm multicolored barrier around the divine embryo suddenly flashed with mysterious symbols. These symbols revolved around the divine embryo, forming a golden sealing formation that covered the divine embryo.

The energy wave hurtling toward w.a.n.g Chong had been triggered by disturbing this formation.

As this terrifying energy swept toward w.a.n.g Chong, he felt the sense of danger multiply by one hundred times.

No!

It was no longer simply danger, but the stench of death!

w.a.n.g Chong had no doubt that if he were struck by the divine embryo’s protective seal, his Origin Spirit would be destroyed on the spot with no chance of returning to his physical body.

Bang!

w.a.n.g Chong reacted with incredible speed. The moment the seal’s power erupted, his Origin Spirit shot toward the surface.

Fierce explosions came from behind him, the destructive energy almost brus.h.i.+ng against w.a.n.g Chong’s Origin Spirit as it blasted the area it had been occupying a brief moment ago.

The area affected was truly shocking.

That was risky!

One hundred feet away, w.a.n.g Chong was alarmed by what he sensed. If he had not sensed the danger beforehand and stopped, his Origin Spirit would have already been annihilated.

This is going to be difficult!

w.a.n.g Chong slightly frowned as he looked at the divine embryo.

The divine embryo was right in front of him, but obtaining it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. The power displayed by the divine embryo’s seal was incredibly difficult to overcome, and this depth was far too great for w.a.n.g Chong’s physical body to come down, leaving his options limited.

The seconds continued to drip by as w.a.n.g Chong pondered over what he should do.

Meanwhile, the explosions created by the divine embryo gradually began to settle down.

He was so far from the surface that w.a.n.g Chong was not at all worried that the explosion would draw anyone’s attention.

After some time…

It seems that I’ll have to try this!

w.a.n.g Chong muttered to himself as he swiftly sent his Origin Spirit back to the surface. At the same time, w.a.n.g Chong used his connection between the Origin Spirit and the physical body to speak to the Nightmare Beast.

“Nightmare Beast! I have a plan that requires your help. I will send you the Origin Spirit Art. In a little while, lend me a hand!”

After making these arrangements and resting his Origin Spirit for a while, w.a.n.g Chong went back.

But this time, w.a.n.g Chong’s Origin Spirit did not come empty-handed. In this area more than six hundred thousand feet beneath the surface, he had brought the Origin Immortal Sword and another nearly tangible body of energy. This was the Nightmare Beast’s ‘Origin Spirit’.

The Nightmare Beast had much stronger Psychic Energy than w.a.n.g Chong, but perhaps because it was of a different species, the Origin Spirit it had created was not stable, and it could not sustain it for as long as w.a.n.g Chong.

“Do you remember what I told you?”

w.a.n.g Chong looked down at the divine embryo as he spoke.

“Mm, Master, be at ease. I will do everything in my power to a.s.sist you,” the Nightmare Beast’s mental ripple responded.

Although it had had its physical body destroyed by w.a.n.g Chong, ever since it learned that w.a.n.g Chong was the inheritor of the Origin Immortal Sword—or the Xuanyuan Sword, to be more precise—it had become utterly devoted to him, even willing to give up its life.

A few moments later, w.a.n.g Chong started his plan.

Creee!

On w.a.n.g Chong’s order, the Nightmare Beast shrieked and then shot toward the divine embryo. A few moments later, the seal around the divine embryo exploded.

In order to draw away the seal’s power and create an opportunity for w.a.n.g Chong, the Nightmare Beast needed to attack even more fiercely. The explosion triggered would be commensurate with the a.s.sault.

Terrifying energy surged out in waves, battering the underground world and making it shudder.

The mysterious symbols linked and intersected, instantly recreating that sealing domain.

“Now is the moment!”

In a flash of light, w.a.n.g Chong sent his Origin Spirit into the Origin Immortal Sword. At the moment the energy exploded, the sword flew in a large arc through the underground world to come around to the other side.

Bang!

In normal circ.u.mstances, the sword would have instantly been flung back, but with the Nightmare Beast drawing away the barrier’s power, the rest of the barrier was weak enough for the Origin Immortal Sword to penetrate it.

Success!

w.a.n.g Chong was ecstatic. As the Origin Immortal Sword penetrated through, w.a.n.g Chong’s Origin Spirit flew out through the tip to infiltrate the multicolored barrier.

Boom!

After a tenth of a second, the seal erupted with power and blasted away the Origin Immortal Sword, but this had no effect on w.a.n.g Chong.

w.a.n.g Chong’s Origin Spirit had already attached itself to the divine embryo!

Like a fish in water!

The door was wide open!

This was the sensation w.a.n.g Chong felt upon touching the divine embryo.

Unlike the frightening seal around it, w.a.n.g Chong found the divine embryo to be like a completely unguarded house.

There were no obstructions within the divine embryo. All of the meridians, acupuncture points, and nerves were wide open. As long as one managed to get in, anyone could easily possess this precious divine embryo.

This was a true blank piece of paper!

What immense strength!

w.a.n.g Chong soon sensed that seemingly boundless sea of energy within the divine embryo. This was a primordial treasury, one that no one had ever visited or even known about.

w.a.n.g Chong felt unprecedented excitement.

This divine embryo was even more powerful than he had imagined. It was definitely enough for him to reach the goal he desired.

Buzz!

w.a.n.g Chong divided his Origin Spirit into numerous strands that seeped into all parts of the divine embryo, upon which he began to refine it.

In a flash of light, the surging Pure Gold Magma instantly calmed, and even that dangerous sealing domain made of mysterious characters withdrew.

All fell silent.

The Nightmare Beast’s Origin Spirit stopped moving, sighing in relief as it looked at the divine embryo.

After some time, energy rippled out from the divine embryo.

At the same time, the multicolored barrier around the divine embryo began to retract, its surging energy returning to the divine embryo.

Buzz!

As the last of the barrier entered the divine embryo’s body, the blank face of the divine embryo suddenly changed, forming eyebrows, eyes, a nose, and a mouth.

If one looked closely, one would realize that this face was extremely young and was identical to w.a.n.g Chong’s.

Success!

Amidst the Pure Gold Magma, w.a.n.g Chong, now fused with the divine embryo, opened his eyes.

Excitement! Joy!

These emotions welled up in his heart at unprecedented levels!

This was the first time w.a.n.g Chong had ever wielded such vast and terrifying primordial energy.

Buzz!

w.a.n.g Chong had taken control of the divine embryo, and as he flexed its fingers, powerful waves of energy threw the sea of Pure Gold Magma into turmoil.

Bang!

w.a.n.g Chong shook his arm, upon which a path extending tens of thousands of feet appeared in the magma in front of the divine embryo.

So powerful! This punch is just as good as the King Ape’s!

w.a.n.g Chong looked at his fist in glee.

The divine embryo not only possessed extraordinary talent. Its strength had also reached an unimaginable level. Just moments after refining it, not converting its primal energy into any sort of martial art, it could already display the strength of a basic level Subtle realm expert.

If all of the energy in the divine embryo’s body were converted, it would certainly produce even more astonis.h.i.+ng results.

Let’s try out more of its abilities! w.a.n.g Chong said to himself.

Buzz!

With a thought from w.a.n.g Chong, the divine embryo’s body, thirty-some feet tall, rapidly shrank to twenty feet, ten feet, and then to the size of a regular adult.

The ability to change size!

This was a natural ability of the divine embryo. Its body could instantly grow to thirty feet tall, or even larger, but it could also shrink to the size of a regular human. This ability was something that very few martial artists could replicate.

w.a.n.g Chong continued to experiment with the divine embryo’s abilities.
