Chapter 1023 - 626: Life-and-Death Crisis, Soul Power Level 5_2
He used every last bit of strength, trying to stir that faint, tiny wisp of Golden Body Sutra energy.
But it was completely useless.
With his Soul Power unable to circulate, his will simply couldn’t command the energy.
He could only let that strand of energy move and repair on instinct.
As if sensing that Lu Lin was facing an unprecedented life-and-death crisis, that trace of Golden Body Sutra energy, after probing Lu Lin’s physical condition, also threw itself into repairing his body at the first time.
Only—
A drop in the bucket.
Like trying to save a raging Forest great fire with a single ladle of water.
It did nothing.
Just as the Golden Body Sutra energy had barely repaired a bit of his body, it was exhausted and vanished.
This time, Lu Lin’s heart sank into silence along with the disappearing energy.
He could only curse himself an idiot in his heart.
Accept fate?
Might as well.
What could refusing to accept it change.
In the end, this whole mess was something Lu Lin had brought on himself; it had nothing to do with the people of Evil Dragon Hall.
At this moment, besides waiting for death, waiting for his consciousness to slowly sink into stillness, he had no other way.
Lu Lin’s consciousness grew more and more blurry.
There was even a moment when he didn’t know what he was doing here.
Why he was suffering such a calamity.
At this critical moment.
At the very center of Lu Lin’s Consciousness Universe, the Eyeball Star Core that had always refused to be mobilized suddenly started spinning round and round.
At first, it only turned slowly, like a snail.
But very soon, its speed grew faster and faster.
In the end, Lu Lin, who noticed the disturbance here, couldn’t even sense the Eyeball Star Core’s rotation anymore.
He could only see a blurred black-and-white shadow.
The Eyeball Star Core spun faster and faster.
A strand of gray mist spread out from the Star Core.
These gray mists, with the Eyeball Star Core as their center, slowly yet resolutely expanded outward.
Nobody knew how long later, Lu Lin’s entire Consciousness Universe changed from its original pitch black to a hazy gray.
Even those master-servant contract marks, Soul Strength Nascent, and Star Power Domain in his Consciousness Universe all turned gray.
Lu Lin didn’t know what had happened.
But at this time his consciousness had already become clear again.
He felt as if he had suddenly entered the Consciousness Universe; right now, aside from watching all this unfold, he could do nothing.
Suddenly.
Lu Lin’s attention fell on the center of his Consciousness Universe.
The Eyeball Star Core’s spinning slowed.
It revealed its original appearance.
Black and white intertwined.
Only, the black part was not purely black, and the white part also had some impurities.
It looked as if a cup of pure water had been mixed with a bit of mud and sand.
From beginning to end, the Eyeball Star Core never transmitted any intent to Lu Lin.
But Lu Lin felt that he had strengthened.
His Soul Power had strengthened.
Could it be... he had stepped into the realm of Five Times Transformation.
Although that was something to rejoice over, Lu Lin didn’t want to wager his life on it.
In Lu Lin’s view, entering the Five Changes level was something that required long accumulation before naturally taking form—yet now it happened when he’d almost died...
Wait.
Died?
Lu Lin suddenly jolted awake.
He didn’t bother to inspect his somewhat illusory Soul Power little figure; his consciousness instantly returned to his body.
At this moment, his body was still in the same tattered state as in his memory.
A strand of Golden Body Sutra energy was stubbornly helping Lu Lin restore his broken body.
But before long, the Golden Body Sutra energy was exhausted and vanished.
However, very soon, a scene that delighted Lu Lin appeared.
The Golden Body Sutra energy actually appeared once more, and it was faintly stronger than just now.
If not for Lu Lin’s sharp eyes, he might not have noticed this slight change and increase.
This was—!
The Golden Body Sutra energy actually had this trait of continually being reborn; after cultivating it for so long, Lu Lin had never discovered it.
Now that he suddenly did, Lu Lin’s mind trembled violently.
From that original speck the size of a rice grain to now a strand roughly as thick as a finger, who knew how many times the Golden Body Sutra had gone through the process of being exhausted, disappearing, and then reappearing.
Throughout this entire process, the Golden Body Sutra never gave up.
So should he, Lu Lin, give up.
Absolutely not!
He still wanted to become one of the peerless powerhouses.
He was a Blade Cultivator, had just comprehended the domineering aura within the Saber Method, had just grasped true saber momentum.
Suppression?
Hardship?
Life and death?
So what!
He, Lu Lin, did not fear!
With the conviction of certain victory, Lu Lin used his consciousness to guide that strand of Golden Body Sutra energy, letting it first repair some parts of his body that weren’t too severely damaged.
Like skin, like bones, like muscles.
After thousands of attempts, the Golden Body Sutra energy Lu Lin could control was already as thick as an arm, and he also reached a conclusion: as long as the Golden Body Sutra energy persisted for long enough.
Then even if it ultimately still vanished, the newborn Golden Body Sutra energy would be stronger than before.
The longer it lasted, the more powerful it would be after rebirth.
After understanding this, Lu Lin began by repairing the less damaged areas; although this process didn’t consume much Golden Body Sutra, the terrifying pressure was relentlessly, constantly crushing his body.
Nobody knew how long later, Lu Lin’s skin no longer cracked; its surface was even, smooth like jade.
His skin could already completely adapt to such terrifying gravity.
Next came the muscles.
After the muscles were repaired, it was the bones.
Once he finished repairing his bones, Lu Lin felt, somewhere in the vast starry sky, a special, powerful, nameless energy was pouring into his body out of thin air.
Without any Golden Body Sutra repairs, his damaged internal organs had actually recovered by more than half.
Although the suppression they endured hadn’t lessened, they had become ten thousand times tougher than before; within a short time, his internal organs no longer ran the risk of rupturing.
For Lu Lin right now, this was tremendously good news.
This way, he could slowly, bit by bit, restore his vast and complex blood vessel net.
Finally, when Lu Lin finished fully repairing his body, he opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
Those who hadn’t experienced it could never know how immense the suffering Lu Lin had endured during this period.
And it wasn’t just suffering; while enduring that pain, Lu Lin also had to carefully, cautiously, meticulously repair his body little by little.
After this process, Lu Lin felt that his state of mind had undergone a Metamorphosis.
He felt that, in this moment and in the future, nothing could knock him down.
His Mental side had undergone a perfect journey of sublimation.
Among all this, what he most needed to thank was the Eyeball Star Core, sitting steadily at the center of the Consciousness Universe, now somewhat turbid, laden with many more impurities.
Next was that stubborn, unyielding Golden Body Sutra energy that died again and again and was reborn again and again.
Only then came Lu Lin himself.
Having undergone such hardship, Lu Lin had, of course, also gained tremendously.
His Physical Strength had clearly increased; although in his current state he still couldn’t sense by how much his flesh had strengthened, the result was certain.
Stronger—so much stronger.
And then there was his Soul Power; under the life-and-death crisis and with the help of the Eyeball Star Core, Lu Lin’s Soul Power smoothly achieved Promotion to the Five Changes level, the same Five Times Transformation realm as the Elder with the highest Soul Power Cultivation on General Mountain, Elder Ting Yu.
In addition, his Consciousness Universe had undergone some inexplicable change, though in the short time available Lu Lin couldn’t tell what use this change would bring him.
However, Lu Lin at least knew that he and the Eyeball Star Core were one; the Eyeball Star Core would absolutely not harm him.
In short, all of it, everything, was worth it.
Now, he had already survived under this terrifying suppression; next, Lu Lin had to defeat this terrifying pressure.
At this moment he still didn’t know that, in another room of this Flying Boat, He Ming was doing the exact same thing as he was.
