Chapter 798 - 240: [3rd Realm Ascending to the Stage] (Part 2)
Then, he cut off a piece of fruit about the size of a fingernail.
Just bringing this tiny piece of fruit close to his lips, Chen Yan instantly felt a tremor coming from the depths of his soul!
It was as if as the fruit drew near, his entire body trembled, with a strong yearning from deep within his soul directed at this piece of fruit, countless voices in his heart were exuberantly joyful!
Eat it! Eat it!
Eat it quickly! Immediately, right away!
He even momentarily lost his sense of self, failed to react in time, and this piece of fruit had already been hazily delivered into his mouth.
Didn’t even have time to savor its taste, the fruit in his mouth seemed to instantly transform into a bright mass, dissolving into invisibility, flowing down his throat...
With a boom, Chen Yan felt as if a sound exploded deep within his mind, then his entire soul vibrated, shivering violently a few times as if having a seizure.
Every pore on his body thoroughly expanded, wildly jubilant...
He felt his consciousness extraordinarily sharp, the auditory hallucination akin to ringing in the ears surprisingly made him hear all the movements around him clearly.
Even the slightest whisper of air couldn’t escape his senses.
But soon, in this state, Chen Yan sensed something amiss with himself, becoming increasingly excited, yet his Sea of Consciousness seemed to be slowly expanding.
This expansion brought a severe stabbing pain—not affecting the physical body, but the soul and consciousness.
The spiritual "pain" was irresistible to Chen Yan—much like the times he "sharpened" his Primordial Spirit, this pain was more intense than the sharpening pain.
With this pain, Chen Yan’s eyes began to darken.
Fortunately, before his last shred of consciousness lost control, Chen Yan gritted his teeth and placed the fruit in his Storage Jade Pendant.
Finally, with a thud, Chen Yan fell backward, eyes going dark, fainting on the bed.
·
The Sea of Consciousness seemed like a balloon constantly inflated, during the expansion, something seemed to tear, then the pure Origin Power rapidly repairing it.
Constant destruction, constant repair.
This cyclical feeling was painful at first, but eventually turned into a strange satisfaction.
The injection of pure Origin Power especially made spiritual power grow violently as if consuming a significant tonic pill.
But soon, the expansion speed of the Sea of Consciousness couldn’t keep up with the expansion of spiritual power.
Like a balloon pumped with too much air, gradually unable to handle it.
This moment was most dangerous, a slight misstep and the Sea of Consciousness risked bursting!
Yet, at this moment, the massive influx of pure Origin Power caused Chen Yan’s Primordial Qi to start flowing...
Finally.
"Eh?"
A voice fell into Chen Yan’s ear.
Suddenly, within the nearly bursting Sea of Consciousness, the pure Origin Power was about to break through... but all at once, this power poured out, yet it cascaded toward some unknown place...
The risk of bursting finally eased!
Chen Yan gritted his teeth, the darkness before his eyes gradually became clearer, but his body still trembled.
The voice in his mind seemed to carry an aged hint.
"What a good taste! Without this supplement, not sure when I could awaken."
Chen Yan’s heart stirred.
He immediately identified the source of this voice.
The Ring!
Artifact Spirit!
·
What surprised Chen Yan was that this aged voice of the ring’s Artifact Spirit sounded distinctly unfamiliar!
It’s clearly not the previous... hmm, no, those two Artifact Spirits of the ring!
Chen Yan’s eyes widened.
Is there a third Artifact Spirit within my ring?!
The first appearing Artifact Spirit seemed to be a male voice. The second appearing seemed to be a charming female voice.
And now, this aged voice, filled with a feeling of the vicissitudes of life, seemed like an old man’s.
However, although Chen Yan’s consciousness recovered a bit, he still couldn’t speak, his body curled up lying down, without a trace of strength.
He couldn’t respond to this aged voice of the Artifact Spirit, could only fiercely grit his teeth, trying to regain more conscious control.
Meanwhile, the aged voice within the ring continued.
"Hm? Why did you end up in the Celestial Demon Yin Yang Joyful Sect, this damned place... I truly detest the Dao Rhyme aura of that guy Shanxiang, such a cowardly flavor!"
"Eh? What is the Celestial Demon Yin Yang Joyful Sect, how do I know this name? And who is Shanxiang? Why can’t I remember..."
"Aha! You’re overfilled with power in your Sea of Consciousness, about to burst you. Child, I’ll do a good deed, help absorb some of it, to keep you from suffering a shattered Sea of Consciousness!"
With the last words spoken, Chen Yan felt the wildly surging Origin Power in the Sea of Consciousness, yet again like trickling water, flowing toward a certain place.
The feeling of imminent bursting greatly lightened.
At this point, the rate of damage started to slow, the repair speed finally surpassed the damage speed.
Origin Power rapidly nourished his Sea of Consciousness, Chen Yan’s awareness began to return, awakening.
Finally, he fiercely bit his lips, uttered the first sentence.
"You... are my ring’s Artifact Spirit too?"
"Ring? Artifact Spirit?" The aged voice seemed somewhat bewildered, then said, "I don’t remember."
