Chapter 349: Chapter 239: Dual Godhead

Zhou Yuan stepped forward, approaching the coffin.

Inside the coffin, three items lay quietly.

A dark, icy feather, emitting wisps of Taiyin Qi, radiated a bone-chilling coldness.

A bright, burning horn, translucent as jade, with specks of divine radiance escaping like sparks.

The last item was a human phalanx, surrounded by immortal aura, exuding a natural, peaceful, and mystical essence.

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, extended his left hand, and a divine mark appeared on his hand spontaneously, flickering like ancient runes, attracting the dark feather to float gently and land in his palm.

As soon as the feather touched his skin, it dissolved into a piercing black cold stream which instantly dispersed and merged into the mark.

Boom!

At that moment, Zhou Yuan felt the unclear emotions left within the divinity, like chaotic currents rushing in, mixed with numerous fragments of memories from the Nine Nether Heavenly Phoenix.

He constructed layers of Mental Barriers, stopping avalanches and tsunamis from breaking through, and began to focus intently on absorbing the divinity.

The fusion process was incredibly smooth. The traces of the Tao Law left by the Nine Nether Heavenly Phoenix were quite compatible with the attributes of the Night Divine Power, and there was no repulsion.

[Night Divine Power: 105/354]

[Night Divine Power: 594/1066]

[Night Divine Power: 1750/2994]

...

Zhou Yuan could clearly feel his body undergoing a series of changes, transforming towards a higher, stronger, and more perfect state. In the system panel, the limit of Night Divine Power was also rapidly increasing.

Suddenly, many noisy and chaotic voices resounded by his ear—worship from countless Dark Creatures, prayers from believers beyond the stars. The once vague voices of prayer were now exceptionally clear, with the connection of faith being stronger than ever before.

With a thought, Zhou Yuan activated the Primordial Yin-Yang Body, summoned his Dharma Body, and pulled in the traces of the Tao Law left by Fire Ancestor Qilin into his palm.

A fiery sensation instantly spread from his palm through his entire body as if scorching hot blood was flowing into him, penetrating every limb.

Unlike the easily merged fragments of the Nine Nether Heavenly Phoenix, the remnants of Fire Ancestor Qilin’s divinity were extremely tyrannical, like a high and solemn sun, cruel and ruthless yet filled with domineering brutality, burning everything to ashes.

The Dharma Body burst into fierce flames, turning blackened in an instant. The Supreme Yang True Fire ignited within, burning intensely—if it were an ordinary person, they would likely have been reduced to ash immediately.

Bright red flames pierced through the flesh, bursting forth, as if a scorching sun hung within, illuminating the bones, blood vessels, meridians, and internal organs. The radiance grew more intense, as if it could explode at any moment.

The Dharma Body, lacking divine power, struggled significantly with accommodating the divine fragment for the first time. However, fortunately, as Zhou Yuan’s life level continually transformed under the divine power, the stronger the original body, the stronger the Dharma Body, and the lower the difficulty in accommodating divine fragments as the original approached a divine entity.

Time passed slowly.

As Zhou Yuan’s original body neared the end of merging with the divinity of the Nine Nether Heavenly Phoenix, the repulsion from Fire Ancestor Qilin’s divine fragments weakened and eventually was completely subdued and integrated into the Dharma Body and into Zhou Yuan’s soul.

When Yin met Yang, there should have been thunderous explosions, especially with the meeting of the extreme Taiyin and Taiyang energies, which would have unleashed destructive power. However, under the operation of the Primordial Yin-Yang Body, the two forces achieved perfect balance.

The refinement concluded, with immediate effect.

The outer layer of charred skin on the Dharma Body flaked off, revealing a powerful divine body, like a sculpture shrouded in Holy Light, emitting dazzling brilliance, noble and inviolable, possessing an indestructible essence only achieved through countless refinements!

Thump... Thump... Thump!

The sound of the heartbeat, like drums, reverberated, and the life essence surged like oceans and tides, like a blazing divine furnace burning, releasing endless Supreme Yang Power.

A brilliant light shone, and fiery energy flowed, transforming into a robe of pure white over the perfect body.

He was like the Taiyang Saint Son descending to the mortal realm.

Zhou Yuan clenched his fists, with Yin Yang Qi emanating from both his original body and his Dharma Body. At that moment, the Immortal Palace shook, the Dao resonated, and he ascended to a wondrous realm, experiencing an unparalleled natural strength and power.

"By leveraging the divine fragments, the Primordial Yin-Yang Body has advanced to the Great Achievement Realm; the next step is evolving into the Chaos Body..."

Zhou Yuan silently sensed the broken Chaos Dao at this place.

Years ago, Chen Heng sought to transform himself into a Chaos Body to live anew. Although he ultimately failed, the traces of the Dao he left could still serve as a reference, containing supreme mysteries and infinite enlightenment.

Zhou Yuan operated the Primordial Yin-Yang Body, continuously evolving, immersed within.

His mind became serene, recalling the many true meanings of the Primordial Yin-Yang Body, pondering them carefully, and gaining many insights.

The Yin Yang Qi naturally intertwined, transforming into wisps of Chaos Mist. In a short time, it completely engulfed him, slightly blurring and almost seemingly merging into the broken Chaos Dao of this place.

"That’s not right." Zhou Yuan suddenly shivered, sharply regaining consciousness. He was to become a Chaos Body, not to be assimilated by the chaos!

"No wonder Chen Heng ultimately failed; he couldn’t detach himself from the chaos..." Zhou Yuan realized.

He restrained himself and continued contemplating, making considerable gains.

Coming back to his senses, Zhou Yuan retracted his Dharma Body. At this moment, the attributes in the system panel had changed; the Night Divine Power had transformed into Taiyin Divine Power, and below it, Taiyang Divine Power was added.

[Taiyin Divine Power: 2446/4000]

[Taiyang Divine Power: 2187/4000]

He carefully felt it; the many dominions involved in the former Night Divine Power were retained, and a plethora of new authorities in the Yin domain had been added.

The conversion efficiency of the Power of Faith had greatly improved, and the recovery speed of Divine Power had become faster than before, at least four times quicker, presumably due to the effects of holding dual godheads.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan heard the system notification.

[Mission "Light and Darkness" completed]

[Mission rating: A (Experience and Star Coins rewards increased to 130%)]

[Commentary: Who dares to say that all members of the Holy Crow Church are just unlucky? Here’s a lucky fellow who just caught a big break!]

[Mission Reward 1: Experience Points*10400]

[Mission Reward 2: Star Coins*260000]

[Mission Reward 3: Epic Quality Skill Scroll*1]

[LV61→LV64!]

[Experience Points: 1100/3200]

To be frank, Zhou Yuan had been quite surprised to receive an A rating on this mission, as though he had done quite a bit along the way, the final wave all hinged on luck, otherwise he wouldn’t have even seen the gates of the Immortal Palace.

He guessed the A rating was likely given due to the mission’s high difficulty, involving numerous Tier 9 challenges.

This time the mission had rewarded an Epic Quality Skill Scroll, along with a previous mission that had yielded an Epic Quality Item Pack – essentially two epic-level chests.

However, before Zhou Yuan had a chance to open the chests, a deafening roar sounded, and the Immortal Palace trembled violently.

[Tier 9s have come knocking.]

The Chaos Wave was still gushing continuously, but clearly, it had been breached by Tier 9 experts.

Zhou Yuan quickly stored the last Divine Fragment in his backpack, knowing that if it was seen, a battle with the Tier 9s would be inevitable.

"Big shots are here?"

Jiang Wuming’s face changed slightly, "We’re in trouble."

The Tier 9s would definitely interrogate them about the whereabouts of the Divine Fragment, and if they encountered someone with aggressive methods, they might even perform a Soul Search.

"No worries, let’s just leave."

Ye Wushuang raised the Yin Yang Pisces Jade Pendant, commanding the entire Immortal Palace to levitate and whoosh away as a streak of light.

Leaving behind a group of dumbfounded Tier 9s, who quickly gave chase.

"How come you can use Spiritual Power?" Zhou Yuan exclaimed.

"The palace has a Spiritual Power supply formation. Operating it does not require extra Spiritual Power, only the proper authorization," Ye Wushuang explained.

"I’ve ridden in planes, helicopters, rockets, but this is my first time in a palace," Jiang Wuming remarked with a tsk tsk of amazement, even though there were no windows to look outside.

After a long time, the Immortal Palace landed.

"We’ve left the Chaotic Domain," Ye Wushuang said.

Stepping out of the Immortal Palace, Zhou Yuan discovered they were in an endlessly deep pit, clearly a location Ye Wushuang had chosen to avoid pursuit.

"Shrink." At Ye Wushuang’s command, the Immortal Palace swiftly shrank to the size of a palm, resembling an exquisite model.

"Keep this safe for me." She looked at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan nodded, storing the palace in his backpack, then initiated the Teleportation to leave the deep pit with the two others.

However, they hadn’t gone far when a chilling sensation rose in Zhou Yuan’s heart, and he immediately teleported a thousand meters away.

Swoosh!

A bright slash of knife light swept across like a sea wave, turning everything on the earth into dust in an instant.

Zhou Yuan focused his gaze and saw several powerful figures appearing in the distance.

[According to the Law of Conservation of Luck, after good fortune comes misfortune; now misfortune has arrived. These people are members of the Evil Alliance, most of them from the Corpse Immortal Association. The event of reviving Blood Corpses in the secret realm was their doing.

The Corpse Immortal Association’s goal is to find an item that can release the Corpse Immortal, and they have already found it, but the people holding the item were not part of this group.]

Lackeys of the Corpse Immortal?

Zhou Yuan’s mind raced, and he immediately used Mental Psychokinesis to inform Jiang Wuming, instructing him to report to the Control Bureau.

Simultaneously, the attack from the extraordinary members of the Evil Alliance struck, causing an explosion that cracked mountains and ripped the ground asunder, with rocks flying through the air—this was the work of a Tier 7!

"Three Tier 7s, five Tier 6s, that’s quite a lavish lineup, just right for me to stretch a little."

Zhou Yuan ensured Jiang Wuming and Ye Wushuang were safe, then stepped forward silently and faced one of the astonished figures, cracking a smile.

Bang!

Blood exploded like rain, and the Tier 6 extraordinary person was instantly pulverized by Zhou Yuan’s punch!

The next second, a steel cannon, exaggeratedly large, targeted Zhou Yuan’s head. Its engine revved to the extreme, emitting a thunderous roar as it unleashed terrifying energy.

Blazingly, it fired!
