Chapter 931
A Generous Gift
Inside the main hall, the dust had settled.
The last trace of the Devouring Demon Lord's aura was completely swallowed up by the Qiankun Demon Suppression Tower. The nine-story bronze ancient tower trembled slightly and transformed into a stream of light that entered Lin Langtian's brow.
He deliberately suppressed the aura of the eight demonic puppets completing their transformation inside the tower, so that outsiders could not detect it at all.
The surviving strongmen looked at each other, their eyes filled with relief at surviving the disaster and an undisguised awe.
Their gazes toward Lin Langtian were no longer merely that of a prodigy who had defeated Mohehuang, but rather that of someone truly capable of contending with the extraterrestrial demons.
However, just when everyone thought it was all over.
A golden light shone once again from the statue of the Immortal King.
The light was not dazzling, but gentle and warm, like the warm sun in winter.
Within the light, the remnant soul of the Undying King, which had become so faint as to be almost transparent, reformed itself.
He looked at Lin Langtian with admiration and approval in his eyes.
"Your name is Lin Langtian, right? Come here."
Lin Langtian was slightly taken aback, then stepped forward a few steps and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting: "Senior."
The Undying King looked him up and down, his gaze lingering for a moment on the Primordial Demonic Rune between his brows, the Qiankun Demon-Suppressing Tower within his body, and the Undying Heaven-Opening Axe, before suddenly smiling.
"Good, very good. I thought it would be a blessing if someone could take away the Heaven-Opening Axe, but I never expected to encounter a freak like you."
He paused, his gaze becoming profound: "The primordial runes that even I find astonishing, the eight demonic puppets resembling those of that great being from the Ancient Buddha Clan, and the possession of the Dragon-Kun Divine Body... the secrets you hold are far more numerous than I imagined."
However, none of that matters. What matters is that you have courage, decisiveness, and a sense of responsibility, which I greatly admire.
He raised his hand and pointed, and a golden light shot out from his fingertip, condensing into a golden portal in front of Lin Langtian.
Within the portal, a strange space could be faintly seen, where golden light flowed and a scorching aura emanated.
"Come in, I have another opportunity for you."
Upon seeing this, many powerful figures present immediately showed expressions of fervor. It seemed that the Undying King actually intended to pass on his legacy to Lin Langtian.
This is the legacy of a Heavenly Supreme expert!
Although everyone was envious, no one dared to make a move. After all, the destruction of the Devouring Demon Lord was imminent, and who would dare to forcibly seize the inheritance in front of a Heavenly Sovereign?
While many powerful figures were filled with envy, Lin Langtian glanced at the golden gate, and without hesitation, stepped inside.
The Barbarian Emperor tried to follow, but was blocked by an invisible force.
The Undying King said calmly, "This door is only open for him. You may wait outside."
Although the Barbarian Emperor was unwilling, he was helpless and could only watch helplessly as Lin Langtian's figure disappeared into the golden light.
……
Beyond the portal lay a strange space.
The moment Lin Langtian stepped onto it, he felt a scorching heat rush towards him.
He looked up and was slightly taken aback by what he saw.
This is a vast underground space, with a dome thousands of feet high, inlaid with countless golden gems that emit a soft glow. At the very center of this space, a huge lake of golden lava flows silently.
The lake was not ordinary magma, but was formed from a pure golden energy, flowing slowly like liquid gold, radiating a heart-pounding heat.
Golden mist rises from the lake, each wisp containing immense spiritual power; a single breath is enough to refresh the mind and body.
In the deepest part of the lake, nine golden suns can be faintly seen, slowly rotating and exuding an aura of dominance that suppresses everything.
“This is…” Lin Langtian’s pupils contracted slightly.
The figure of the Undying King appeared beside him, standing with his hands behind his back, gazing at the golden lake, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.
"This is the 'Undying Divine Lake,' which I condensed with my life's cultivation. The golden magma in the lake is the purest 'Undying Divine Liquid,' an unparalleled treasure for those who cultivate the Great Sun Undying Body."
He turned to look at Lin Langtian, his gaze intense: "Your Great Sun Undying Body, although it has already activated the tenth Yang, is still shallow in foundation and far from reaching the true 'undying' realm."
Tempering yourself in this lake will completely transform your Great Sun Undying Body into an Immortal Golden Body.
"An immortal golden body?" Lin Langtian's heart stirred.
The Undying King nodded, then his tone became serious: "However, the tempering process is extremely painful."
The Undying Divine Liquid will burn your flesh, bones, meridians, and even your soul, incinerating all impurities and then reshaping it with the power of immortality. If your will is weak, at best all your efforts will be wasted, and at worst, your body and soul will be destroyed.
He looked at Lin Langtian and asked, "Do you dare to give it a try?"
Lin Langtian looked at the golden lava lake, where it churned and seemed to be brewing something.
Until a certain moment, golden flames began to rise from the magma, condensing and transforming into ancient characters that floated before Mu Chen's eyes.
The Dharma body enters the divine pool, transforming into a golden body.
Lin Langtian stared at the ten ancient characters, then looked at the golden lava lake radiating terrifying heat, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Although he had never touched it, he could still sense how terrifying it was.
To put it bluntly, even a high-ranking Earthly Sovereign would probably not dare to easily throw his Supreme Dharma Body into it, because it would likely be reduced to ashes in an instant.
However, Lin Langtian did not hesitate and clasped his hands in a fist and said, "This junior is willing to try."
The Undying King laughed: "Good! I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Go, I will protect you."
Lin Langtian took a deep breath, and with a movement, he landed in the golden lake.
"laugh!"
The moment he fell into the lake, an unimaginable heat completely engulfed him.
The golden magma was not ordinary flame, but a strange energy containing an indestructible power. It penetrated his skin, seeped into his flesh and blood, and surged into his bones, as if it wanted to burn him completely from the inside out!
pain!
The pain was indescribable! Even with Lin Langtian's current physical strength and his unwavering will, he couldn't help but groan, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
The feeling was as if countless red-hot knives were cutting through his flesh inch by inch, completely burning away every inch of his skin and every bone, and then reforming him with a strange power!
"Hold on." The Undying King's voice rang in his ears, calm yet powerful.
"This is just the beginning. If you want to forge an immortal golden body, you must first destroy your original Great Sun Undying Body. Only by breaking it down and then building it up can you truly become immortal."
Lin Langtian gritted his teeth and swallowed all the pain.
He sat cross-legged at the bottom of the lake, letting the golden lava engulf him, his hands forming a mudra, and began to operate according to the incantation that the Undying King had transmitted to his mind.
Within him, the Great Sun Undying Body, which had just displayed its full power in the great battle against Maha Huang, was now being burned away bit by bit by the golden magma.
The nine pitch-black demonic suns emitted an unwilling hum, but they could not resist the erosion of that indestructible power, and crumbled and dissipated one after another.
At the same time, a brand new power is growing within him.
That power was completely different from the previous Great Sun Undying Body; it was purer, more domineering, and more immortal!
Time flowed slowly in this secluded space.
Lin Langtian had no idea how long he had been at the bottom of the lake.
All he knew was that he was burned and rebuilt again and again.
His physical body became increasingly powerful and pure through repeated destruction and rebirth.
His indestructible body of the Great Sun was also gradually transforming into an immortal golden body during this process.
Finally, when the last impurity was burned away, when the last bone was reshaped!
"boom!"
A beam of black and gold light shot up from Lin Langtian's body and pierced the dome!
Within that pillar of light, a brand new Dharma body slowly coalesced.
Its Dharma body was a thousand feet tall, its entire body a mixture of golden and black, as if cast from gold.
Its body was not as robust as the Great Sun Undying Body; instead, it appeared somewhat slender, but every inch of its body contained unimaginable terrifying power.
Its face was exactly the same as Lin Langtian's, but it was a completely unfamiliar giant shadow. However, with the help of a strange link, Lin Langtian knew that the giant shadow in front of him was the Immortal Golden Body!
This supreme avatar no longer had that pitch-black demonic sun behind its head, and its body was no longer pitch-black as before, but had turned into a black-gold color because of the addition of a trace of gold.
Moreover, on its body surface are ancient and sinister black-gold patterns. These patterns seem to be naturally formed, each one mysterious and possessing inexplicable magic.
If you look closely, you can see that the patterns seem to form a series of rising great demonic suns.
Lin Langtian gazed at the Dharma body, as if he had some kind of illusion.
This Dharma body seems to represent immortality; even the passage of time cannot corrode or destroy it.
"Is this the Immortal Golden Body?" Lin Langtian murmured.
The figure of the Immortal King had faded to almost invisible, but his voice remained clear, filled with undisguised satisfaction and pride: "Good, very good. The foundation of your immortal golden body is as solid as mine was back then."
Although the remnant soul of the Undying King had faded like smoke, his gaze remained bright, looking down upon the world as it had ten thousand years ago.
"The immortal golden body is complete, but having only a Dharma body is not enough." The Undying King spoke slowly, his voice weak but still carrying the majesty of a Heavenly Sovereign.
"The Dharma body is the foundation, while unparalleled supernatural powers are the edge. To traverse the vast world, neither can be lacking."
Lin Langtian respectfully clasped his hands in greeting: "Please enlighten me, senior."
The Undying King nodded slightly, raised his hand and pointed, a golden beam of light shot out from his fingertip and went straight into Lin Langtian's brow.
"This is the Indestructible Golden Body. You must already know its fame. It is the peerless divine power that I have condensed with my life's blood. Although it is not as powerful as the thirty-six peerless divine powers of the Great Thousand World, in terms of defensive power, it can be called the top of the Great Thousand World."
The moment the beam of light entered his sea of consciousness, Lin Langtian's body trembled violently.
A deluge of information flooded into his mind like a burst dam.
That was an incomparably profound and unparalleled divine technique, the most mysterious of all that Lin Langtian had ever seen.
Upon reaching the minor completion stage of cultivation, one can condense an indestructible golden armor on their body, increasing their defensive power tenfold, making them virtually unharmed by ordinary attacks.
Upon reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, one can transform their physical body into a truly "indestructible" state for a short period of time. No matter how severe the injury, as long as the origin remains intact, one can recover instantly.
In this state, combat power will also surge, making one virtually invincible among those of the same level.
Upon reaching perfection in cultivation, one attains an indestructible golden body, impervious to all tribulations.
The physical body is a sacred object; every move it makes can shatter the heavens and the earth. Even if the physical body is blasted into dust, it can be reborn from a drop of blood.
"What an unparalleled divine power!" Lin Langtian opened his eyes, golden light swirling within them, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
The Undying King smiled slightly: "I created this divine power with all my might. Unfortunately, I was seriously injured in the battle with the extraterrestrial evil race back then, and I died before I could cultivate it to perfection."
I hope that one day you can fulfill this wish for me.
Lin Langtian nodded emphatically: "This junior will certainly live up to your expectations, senior."
The Undying King looked at him, his eyes filled with even greater satisfaction.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly raised his hand, and a ball of golden light slowly condensed in his palm.
The light was not dazzling, but it exuded an indescribable vastness. It was the purest spiritual power, the essence of the Heavenly Sovereign's lifelong cultivation.
"Senior, this is..." Lin Langtian's pupils contracted slightly.
"The essence of spiritual power I have cultivated throughout my life," the Undying King said calmly.
"To help someone to the very end, to see a Buddha to the end, after ten thousand years of suppression, the power in this remnant soul has been mostly exhausted."
The rest are useless to me; rather than let them dissipate, I'd rather give them to you. Wishing you success in advancing to the highest Earthly Sovereign rank! (End of Chapter)
