Chapter 341 The Unlocked One! It's actually the Unlocked One! Heaven hasn't forsaken me!
Chapter 341 The Unlocked One! It's actually the Unlocked One! Heaven hasn't forsaken me!
The ancient consciousness assumed that Chen Yifan had given up resisting, let out a cold laugh, and held nothing back.
Following that suction force, it transformed into a dazzling stream of light and instantly rushed into the deepest part of Chen Yifan's soul.
boom!
Outside, the attacks from the black worms and the puppet assassins suddenly lost their target.
The terrifying energy fluctuation originating from the "Starry Sky Codex," which nearly burst the entire hall, vanished into thin air in an instant.
All the aura emanating from Chen Yifan himself vanished completely.
He remained standing on the high platform, clutching the ancient book tightly, but his eyes were closed, and he remained motionless, like a lifeless statue.
"What happened?"
All the puppets stopped attacking and stared blankly at the scene.
Only the black worm, after a brief moment of astonishment, began to tremble violently with extreme excitement.
"Success! Hehehe... Success!"
It could sense that an even more ancient and majestic aura was awakening within Chen Yifan's body.
In its view, this was undoubtedly a sign that the remnant soul of the ancient god had successfully possessed the body!
"Excellent! Once the Ancient God has complete control over this perfect 'Unlocked' body, I can then parasitize it... At that time, the entire world will grovel at the feet of the cult!"
The black wriggling emitted waves of ecstatic mental energy, greedily staring at Chen Yifan's body, waiting for the final "fruit" to ripen.
However, it did not know.
In that spiritual world that it cannot fathom, a truly great show has only just begun.
……
The World of the Heart Palace.
There is no noise and chaos from the outside world here, only a deathly silence and nothingness.
A magnificent and solemn white jade palace floated silently in the center of this void.
The main hall was spacious and imposing.
Chen Yifan's spiritual body transformed into his own appearance and stood quietly beneath the throne in the main hall.
Opposite him, the illusory image of an emperor's robe, formed from endless starlight, slowly appeared.
The illusory figure in the imperial robe surveyed the surrounding environment, sensing the pure and unadulterated spiritual energy, and emitted a wave of admiration.
"Excellent, excellent, truly a perfect spiritual world. I never imagined that a mere mortal could construct such a pure palace of the heart."
"However, from now on, everything here belongs to me."
The illusory figure in the imperial robes fixed its gaze on Chen Yifan, as if looking at a collectible that was about to become its own.
Chen Yifan looked at him, his face showing no fear whatsoever, but rather a cold smile.
"Once you're in, you're not leaving."
"Arrogant brat, even on the verge of death, he still dares to be stubborn."
The phantom, which was the remnant soul of Star Soul Venerable, scoffed at Chen Yifan's provocation.
In his view, this was nothing more than the prey's final, impotent rage before being devoured.
He stopped talking nonsense, raised a hand formed from starlight, and gently waved it at Chen Yifan.
"Before me, your will is as fragile as dust."
Whoosh!
A dazzling array of starlight transformed into a rushing Milky Way, sweeping towards Chen Yifan's spiritual body with an overwhelming force capable of crushing everything.
This is a pure attack on the very essence of the soul, containing the suppression of his rank as an ancient deity.
He was confident that with this one blow, the young man's spirit would collapse like a sandcastle, completely losing its ability to resist.
However, Chen Yifan stood still, without moving.
He simply stared coldly at the starlight.
Within his sea of consciousness, the white jade palace suddenly trembled.
A similarly powerful spiritual force surged from Chen Yifan's body, transforming into an indestructible, invisible barrier before him.
boom!
The starlight and galaxy crashed violently against the barrier, unleashing a silent roar.
The entire Heart Palace world trembled violently.
Chen Yifan's spiritual body swayed, but the barrier remained as stable as Mount Tai, showing no signs of breaking.
"Um?"
For the first time, Venerable Star Soul showed a look of surprise.
"It actually... blocked it?"
Although he used less than 10% of his strength in this attack, it was still something a junior could not withstand.
This young man's mental strength was not only extremely pure, but its tenacity far exceeded his expectations.
"Interesting, very interesting."
Star Soul Venerable put aside his contempt and began to truly examine Chen Yifan.
His divine sense, like an invisible net, instantly enveloped Chen Yifan's spiritual body, beginning to probe inch by inch from the inside out.
He wanted to see what secrets this young man held deep within his soul.
However, this investigation led him to discover a truth that drove him mad!
"This...this is impossible!"
For the first time, the Star Soul Venerable's consciousness trembled violently and unbelievably.
His phantom, made of starlight, became unstable due to the intense fluctuations in his emotions.
"No...there isn't one! There's no 'Mental Lock' within your very soul!"
He stared intently at Chen Yifan, as if he were looking at a monster that had violated the basic laws of the universe.
"Hahaha...hahahahahaha!"
After a brief moment of shock, Venerable Star Soul burst into a maniacal laugh that resounded throughout the entire Heart Palace world.
That laughter was filled with ecstasy and greed that had been suppressed for countless millennia, as well as the excitement of something lost and then regained!
"The Unlocked One! It's the Unlocked One! Heaven hasn't forsaken me! Heaven hasn't forsaken me!"
Chen Yifan watched him go crazy quietly, but inwardly he was sneering.
Lock?
He was a time traveler.
The soul does not belong to this world.
but……
He discovered it so easily.
He's definitely not someone to mess with!
"Young man! Do you know how lucky you are?"
Star Soul Venerable finally stopped laughing wildly. The way he looked at Chen Yifan was no longer that of an ordinary container, but that of a rare treasure.
"The so-called 'lock' is the fundamental law set up by the world engine of this world to limit the growth potential of all living beings! It's like a cork, firmly blocking your path to higher dimensions!"
"Throughout countless millennia, countless brilliant talents have ultimately fallen before this shackle, unable to break free for their entire lives."
"And you, a born 'Unlocked One,' your soul has no bottleneck! Your growth has no limit! You are the only one capable of perfectly bearing all of my power and helping me break free from this cage... the most perfect vessel!"
He was no longer in a hurry to erase Chen Yifan's consciousness.
That would be such a waste.
What he needed to do was to achieve the deepest level of fusion with this perfect soul.
He wanted to "bestow" all his inheritance and memories upon this young man, and then, naturally, claim this body with unlimited potential as his own!
"Youngster, submit to me!"
The Star Soul Venerable's voice was full of allure.
"By accepting the legacy of this master, you will ascend to heaven in one leap, gaining unimaginable power and knowledge! You will become the new god of this world!"
Faced with the "blessing" offered by Venerable Star Soul, a gift that would drive any professional mad, Chen Yifan showed no fear or excitement whatsoever.
Instead, he slowly raised his head, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turning up in a mocking smile.
"The perfect container?"
He looked at the smug, remnant soul of the ancient god before him as if he were watching a clown jumping around.
"Have you ever considered that a cage that perfectly confines you might also be perfect for you?"
The smug look on Venerable Star Soul's face suddenly froze.
Chen Yifan's laughter, however, grew even more unrestrained at this moment, echoing throughout the entire white jade hall.
He took a sudden step forward, and the entire Heart Palace world trembled violently in accordance with his will.
He pointed at Venerable Star Soul, his eyes brimming with madness and confidence.
"What you are stepping into will be your own grave!"
"court death!"
Venerable Star Soul was furious; his authority was not to be challenged!
He waved his hand again, and this time, a torrent of starlight ten times larger than before transformed into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky and slammed down on Chen Yifan!
However, this time, Chen Yifan did not dodge or avoid, but instead took the initiative to meet him!
He feigned a full-scale resistance, using the barrier of his heart palace to withstand the attack.
"boom!"
The barrier trembled violently, and countless cracks appeared on it. Chen Yifan's spiritual body also dimmed slightly, as if it had suffered a severe injury.
"Hmph, overestimating yourself." Venerable Star Soul snorted coldly, continuing to urge his power, preparing to crush him in one fell swoop.
But at that moment, deep within Chen Yifan's heart, there was a cold clarity.
Become!
During that collision just now, he keenly noticed a detail.
After launching this large-scale attack, the seemingly vast and boundless starlight energy of the Star Soul Venerable showed a slight, almost imperceptible, decrease in brilliance!
Although extremely subtle, it could not escape Chen Yifan's perception, which was comparable to the most sophisticated instruments.
This guy... is consuming his own life force!
He's like a power bank; once the power is used up, it's gone, and there's nowhere to replenish it!
Having figured this out, Chen Yifan immediately changed his strategy.
A head-on confrontation? Only a fool would do that.
He grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
"Old man, I'll play with you!"
The next second, his spiritual body suddenly became illusory, and just before the giant starlight hand fell, it instantly disappeared from its original spot and appeared at the other end of the hall.
Within the Heart Palace, he is the absolute ruler!
Star Soul Venerable was slightly taken aback when his attack missed.
Before he could react, an extremely cunning and condensed mental thorn pierced his weak point in his energy body.
"Buzz!"
Although the damage was not significant, it was extremely insulting.
"Damn ants! How dare you toy with me!"
Star Soul Venerable was completely enraged. He roared and mobilized more starlight, which transformed into countless stars that rained down on Chen Yifan.
However, Chen Yifan was like a slippery eel, taking advantage of his home field, he moved and dodged wildly in the white jade hall, narrowly avoiding fatal attacks every time.
Not only that, he also continuously condensed small-scale spiritual spikes to harass Star Soul Venerable from various unexpected angles.
"Over here!"
"Hey, I'm here again!"
"Old man, haven't you eaten? You're so weak!"
Chen Yifan's voice echoed throughout the Heart Palace, filled with mockery and provocation.
He intended to use this "fly-like" tactic to constantly provoke his opponent, forcing him to expend his precious source power in order to maintain the suppression and attack on the entire Heart Palace world.
After a few minutes, Venerable Xinghun was so angry that he was practically fuming, and his very soul was roaring.
He finally realized that his scheme had been completely seen through by this cunning ant!
"Aaaaaah! How could I possibly endure such humiliation!"
He no longer held back or pretended; he completely erupted!
"Soul Storm!"
A terrifying storm capable of destroying the heavens and the earth suddenly spread out from him, sweeping across the entire Heart Palace world!
Countless stars exploded in the storm, turning into the purest destructive energy, threatening to crush Chen Yifan and the white jade palace together!
He would rather suffer a significant loss of resources than fail to completely eliminate this junior who dared to mock him!
However, faced with this devastating attack, Chen Yifan did not retreat but advanced instead.
He stopped dodging and stood in the center of the hall, looking up at the sweeping storm of divine souls, and let out a hearty laugh.
"Well done!"
He concentrated all the defensive power of the Heretical Heart Palace into one point, but instead of strengthening the defense, he opened his arms and laughed wildly at the center of the storm.
"Old man, thanks for the energy boost!"
"It's time to upgrade my inner palace!"
