Chapter 1080: 776 Head-body disharmony

An unimaginable war intent erupted, surging toward Jiang Chen, and immediately after, his consciousness blurred as if it were about to leave his body and enter a mysterious spiritual battlefield.

"Break!"

At the critical moment, the Dao Bell in Jiang Chen’s heart resounded loudly, awakening him and stabilizing his faltering will, bringing him back to clarity.

"This..."

Having regained his senses, Jiang Chen sweated coldly.

To evolve a spiritual battlefield with war intent and nearly drag him into it—such ability truly defied imagination. Even among Great Divine Transcendents, only those who were extremely close to the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, almost completely transformed by the Primordial, could achieve this.

"Kill! Kill! Kill..."

The voices filled with murderous intent still echoed in Jiang Chen’s ears, but now, he was prepared, and although the voice was powerful, it could no longer shake his heart and mind.

"Predecessor, what is happening?"

Although he had some guesses in his heart, Jiang Chen still felt uncertain and asked Xing Tian.

"It’s exactly what you see, my body has completely lost control..."

Xing Tian’s voice was filled with helplessness. The reason his perfect plan failed was related to the sudden loss of control of his body, something he had never anticipated.

"How can that be?"

What he saw could prove what Xing Tian had said; the body was indeed Xing Tian’s. But even after hearing this answer, Jiang Chen still felt as if in a dream.

A loss of control over the body—how could that be possible? In the lower realms, it’s understandable if a cultivator takes shortcuts in their practice and loses control of a clone. But for someone at Xing Tian’s level, whose physical body and True Spirit are integrated into one, how could there be loss of control? It would be a ludicrous notion. If this were to spread, it could almost be considered one of the top ten jokes of the Prehistoric World.

"Alas, I didn’t want it to happen, but it did," Xing Tian said, feeling that the situation was somewhat absurd. Had it not happened to himself, he wouldn’t have believed it.

As a transcendental being beyond the River of Time and Space, fused into one with the Primordial, to have his body develop a problem and give birth to another consciousness was indeed a huge joke. If it weren’t for a desperate situation, Xing Tian would not have disclosed this.

"What exactly happened?"

Jiang Chen steadied his spirit and asked again. The circumstances surrounding Xing Tian were exceptional; it was uncertain if others would follow, but certainly, there had been no precedent.

"Alas, it was a hidden danger left behind from my battle with Haotian. That day, when he decapitated me, I was meant to fall, but my undying war intent surged within me, inciting further evolution of my bloodline and initiating the Primordial transformation of my body."

"Affected by this, I was able to break through to the realm of the Great Divine Transcendents and with one axe, I killed that scoundrel Haotian."

"However, although I broke through that day, I also left behind a hidden danger. When I broke through, my head was separated from my body. Thus, during the bloodline transformation within my body, only the body was transformed, and my head was not, resulting in my physical body and head being incompatible and unable to merge into one."

"Later, Mother Earth suppressed me and set up the God-killing Array here, which, while intended to deceive the outside world, in essence used the power of the array to condense Pangu’s power, assisting the Primordial transformation of my head to merge with my body."

"Nevertheless, I ultimately failed Mother Earth’s kind intentions, because I rashly controlled the Sha Qi, causing my body to suffer from its erosion, leading to a mutation, and beginning to transform into an Innate Ferocious Beast."

Xing Tian’s tone was filled with regret. The cause of his body’s mutation was indeed due to the Sha Qi. If he hadn’t been greedy and used the Sha Qi to revive the fallen Ancestral Witches, his body wouldn’t have been corrupted by the Sha Qi.

"Uhm, wait a minute..."

"Predecessor Xing Tian, what did you just say? Your body is transforming into an Innate Ferocious Beast? How is that possible; how could the Witch Clan turn into fierce beasts?"

Hearing Xing Tian say his body was transforming into an Innate Ferocious Beast, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but interrupt, finding this news harder to believe than the issue with Xing Tian’s body.

It is well-known that Fierce Beasts are spawned from the grudges of the Chaos Demigods and are the beasts of world destruction. On the other hand, the Witch Clan are descendants of Pangu Great God’s bloodline. The two are natural-born enemies, so how could the Witch Clan possibly transform into fierce beasts?

This did not align with common sense, nor with logic.

"Alas, as much as I don’t want to admit it, it is indeed true; my body has an abnormality, perhaps a unique case," Xing Tian continued and explained the reason to Jiang Chen, which was still related to his breakthrough and subsequent evolution of his bloodline.

At that time, his bloodline’s evolution was not a normal one, but was instead forced by an external power, leading to an imperfect transformation where the wild side prevailed.

Normally, this wouldn’t be an issue. With proper nurturing and reorganization of the bloodline, the defect could have been remedied. Unfortunately, Xing Tian pressed down the overwhelming Sha Qi with his body without fixing the bloodline defect, aiming to revive the fallen Ancestral Witches.

This caused his bloodline to be influenced by the Sha Qi and undergo another transformation, unlocking the savagery within the bloodline, driving Xing Tian’s body to shift toward becoming a fierce beast.

It should be noted that Pangu Great God was also a Chaos Demigod, and indeed the strongest one. His benevolence was the only reason his descendants did not turn into fierce beasts. But this doesn’t mean his descendants don’t carry that ferocity intrinsic to a Chaos Demigod.
