Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1522 Just One Point Away

As Lu Chen circulated the Chaos Body Refining Technique, he endured the excruciating pain of being shattered to pieces and forcefully guided the violent power surging into his body.

As time went on, Lu Chen clearly felt that his meridians, acupoints, and even every drop of blood and every inch of bone had become a battlefield and furnace where energy intertwined.

The law of fire surged forth, extremely yang and intense, capable of burning everything. Wherever it passed, Lu Chen's meridians seemed to be branded with a hot iron, and his muscle fibers instantly carbonized.

However, the Chaos Body Refining Technique forcibly transforms this destructive power into the purest "Crimson Sun Essence," which seeps deep into the bones, burning away the impurities and giving the bones a faint golden luster, like refined gold tempered by divine fire.

The torrent of Yin laws is extremely cold and can not only freeze life force, but also erode the soul of cultivators.

It caused Lu Chen's blood to freeze almost instantly, his internal organs to be covered with a layer of frost, and his soul to be accompanied by waves of stinging pain and mental confusion.

Fortunately, the Chaos Body Refining Technique perfectly transformed it into "Mysterious Yin Essence," nourishing the nearly dried-up meridian walls and tempering the internal organs, allowing them to radiate even stronger vitality and resilience in the extreme cold, with subtle, ice-crystal-like mysterious runes appearing on their surfaces.

The laws of thunder are a torrent, extremely powerful and fierce, violent and unpredictable, governing destruction and rebirth.

It rampaged through Lu Chen's body, cracking the bones that had just been strengthened by the Crimson Yang Essence and tearing apart the meridians nourished by the Profound Yin Essence.

However, after each destruction, the Chaos Body Refining Technique can guide the faint "life-creating" power contained in the lightning, and in combination with the first two kinds of essence, carry out a more thorough reorganization and repair.

Destruction, repair, destruction again, repair again... Like being forged through countless trials, Lu Chen's physical body was also struggling repeatedly on the verge of collapse.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen began to form hand seals and chant obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations.

In an instant, a powerful aura emanated from his body, forming a huge protective shield that enveloped him.

At the same time, Lu Chen's body began to undergo visible changes. His muscles became firmer, and his skin glowed with a faint golden light, making him look like an ancient bronze statue, sacred and inviolable.

Time ticked by, and Lu Chen felt as if he were in hell. Every breath was accompanied by excruciating pain, and every drop of sweat contained endless effort. However, it was precisely under this extreme pressure that his body gradually approached the Chaotic Body Realm.

Finally, after a violent outburst, Lu Chen felt a strange change occurring within his body. The previously chaotic torrent of laws began to become orderly, as if guided by some invisible force.

His body was no longer just a physical form, but had merged with the purest power in the world, forming a new state.

Although he didn't achieve the Chaotic Body Realm in one fell swoop, Lu Chen's Dao Body Realm had reached its peak. His physical strength had reached an unprecedented level, not only able to withstand external attacks but also able to actively absorb and transform various kinds of power.

At this moment, he was like an unyielding mountain peak, remaining as steadfast as a rock no matter how fierce the wind and rain.

"He actually succeeded!"

Fang Xinyi and Nezha were overjoyed to see this. They had witnessed Lu Chen's heroic act and were filled with admiration.

Then, Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes, a tired but satisfied smile on his face.

At the same time, the torrent of laws slowly dissipated like the receding tide, leaving only the crisscrossing gullies on the Gobi Desert and the still-unsettled energy ripples in the air.

"Cough cough..." Lu Chen exhaled a breath of turbid air that sparked with electricity, and then slowly straightened up.

At this moment, one can clearly hear the bones making a crisp ringing sound, like refined steel being rearranged after being forged a thousand times.

His already tall figure seemed to have grown even taller, his muscle lines became smoother and more restrained, and a faint golden glow flowed beneath his skin.

"Not bad, my strength has improved a lot again, it's just a pity that I still haven't been able to break through to the Chaos Body Realm." Lu Chen muttered to himself, feeling the surging power within his body.

This was not merely a strengthening of the physical body. He could clearly sense that every inch of his skin and every bone bore the imprint of those three torrents of laws—the explosion of flames, the erosion of icy cold, and the destruction of lightning—which now coexisted harmoniously within his body, flowing slowly with his breath.

"Lu Chen! Are you alright?" Nezha flew over to Lu Chen's side and asked with concern, "That commotion just now, I thought you were going to explode!"

Fang Xinyi followed closely behind, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes: "Your physical body... has already surpassed the strength of an ordinary Saint-grade magic weapon?"

"I broke through by sheer luck." Lu Chen stretched his wrists and revealed a tired but cheerful smile. "If the law storm on the outer edge of this forbidden area hadn't been so violent, I wouldn't have had the chance to refine the three laws into my body at the same time."

Lu Chen looked around. The level-five Saint-grade array he had set up was now in disarray, with most of the array flags broken and only the core array eye still barely functioning. The Gobi Desert's landscape had been completely altered; the area within a radius of several kilometers centered on him looked as if it had been plowed over by a giant plow.

"Lu Chen, the noise you make while cultivating is truly frightening. When those three torrents of laws converged just now, I almost thought we were going to perish together. Luckily, you had a way." Nezha smiled in an attempt to get closer to him.

Lu Chen gave Nezha an annoyed look. "This isn't like you. Are you up to something again?"

"How could that be? I was just praising you. Of course, if you're willing, you can also pass on your body-refining technique to me, how about that?" Nezha rubbed his palms together, showing an embarrassed expression.

Lu Chen hadn't expected Nezha to have designs on his body-refining technique. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Giving it to you isn't out of the question, but this technique is far too important. What are you going to offer in exchange? You can't expect to get it for free again, can you?"

Nezha immediately became anxious upon hearing this: "I'm penniless, what do I have to give you in exchange? How about I stay with you for another ten years?"

"We'll talk about it later. It depends on your performance. If you do well, I might just give it to you in a good mood." After saying that, Lu Chen ignored Nezha and took the lead in rising into the air.

Upon seeing this, Fang Xinyi and Nezha quickly followed.

Half an hour later, Lu Chen suddenly stopped, standing in mid-air, looking down with a solemn expression.

There, the once seamless space was suddenly torn open by a long, narrow rift.

A hazy halo flowed around the edge of the rift, its interior unfathomable, from which the faint sound of wind could be heard—not the sound of ordinary wind, but more like the echo of Daoist principles generated by the friction and collision of countless fragments of laws.

“That is…” Fang Xinyi said solemnly…
