Chapter 144 - Defeating Death! (2/2)

DEATH!

The sky-blue orb took the place of Yan Zaizen's heart, slowly radiating fluctuations of pure soulforce, and morphings its orb-like form into the shape of a heart. Slowly, it connected to Yan Zaizen's arteries and veins, and the unyielding white flame entered into this newly constructed heart to claim the space as its own. If the sky-blue regalia becomes a part of Yan Zaizen, the white flame could use its energy!

The refinement process took as long as before, but surprisingly, the shadow of death which was greedily siphoning off the white altar's essence didn't notice! The sky-blue orb had some way to avoid its senses.

Slowly, sky-blue light permeated throughout Yan Zaizen's body, his bones, his blood, his cells, and suffused into his eyes. Those eyes had no focus, as if they belonged to a dead man. With his soul tied up by the hell strings, his lifeforce being all but destroyed, he lost his connection to both soul and body. Without his soul, his mind could only process what it could perceive through its five senses, even then, the amount was very little that he couldn't even realize what was happening.

He wasn't truly dead, simply had zero control over his body and his soul form was restricted. If anything, it was quite similar to when one's soul flame was extinguished - a comatose state.

THUMP!

THUMP!!

THUMP!!!

Several hours later, Yan Zaizen felt his newly constructed heartbeat for the first time. With each beat, it resonated an aura of pure soulforce and lifeforce fluctuations.

”What?!” The shadow felt an oddity for the first time, looking back at Yan Zaizen's body. Earlier, it had moved Yan Zaizen's body to the edge after learning that someone wished to penetrate into the shroud of death. Unfortunately, the sky-blue orb had already entered Yan Zaizen's body before then. The disappearance of it didn't concern him, sooner or later, it'll siphon all its essence as well!

Now, however, it felt threatened.

ROAR!!

It thunderously roared. Using the energy it siphoned from the hell altar, it made a mad dash towards Yan Zaizen's body. It had a feeling that if he didn't ensure the white flame couldn't take any action, it'll never again have this chance.

Unfortunately.

A white flame violently erupted from Yan Zaizen's body! This white flame was slightly different as it contained a faint glow of sky-blue.

”NO!!!” The deathly shadow felt enraged, questioning how this was possible. However, when it saw the faint traces of sky-blue, it had some ideas, and was furious! It knew what the white flame did, but how could the white flame accept this?! Doing this meant the heaven they would have would no longer be their own?! How could the sky-blue orb accept this?

It was going to violently extinguish the sky-blue glow, but it lurched to a stop as a wisp of white surged into the deathly aura.

An odd silence permeated the air.

If the shadow had an expression, it would be incredibly ugly to behold.

With the infusion, destroying the sky-blue orb was the same as killing the white flame.

It had a choice.

One: Allow the white flame to continue growing in strength through the infusion of the sky-blue orb. If he did, sooner or later it'll be strong enough to suppress it once more, but with the help of the sky-blue orb, it'll have enough strength to suppress it permanently and likely even exterminate it!

After all, the white flame was the only thing that could absorb its energy so thoroughly.

Two: Destroy the white flame, dying with it after Yan Zaizen's death. This was a suicidal choice.

Three: Accept the situation, assimilate itself back willingly, and reinstate the balance once more. In that way, the white flame would segregate from the sky-blue orb, and they'll keep an intricate balance of the three. The sky-blue orb had already refined itself into Yan Zaizen's physique, if they don't fight it, it can exist there.

Anyone with these three choices would have an ugly expression. Possible Death, certain death, or returning back to normal with another person ruling your kingdom! It felt stifling beyond belief!

However...what could it do?

It admitted defeat.

Several hours later, Yan Zaizen's soul restraint was removed by a soft sky-blue light. A surging trace of consciousness emerged in his mind, freeing his laws, and Pinaka from their confinement. To them, they had no idea what had just happened, and how it changed the very fundamentals of the laws! If Yan Zaizen were to examine his body, his heart would seem as if it never changed, but with a faint trace of sky-blue, his lungs were still inky, black in color, but his brain was sky-blue in color!

The sky-blue orb morphed into a new heart but after the white flame took control, it merged itself into Yan Zaizen's brain! After all, the heart was the white flame's domain, not his. To co-exist, it needed its own. The brain was interconnected with the soul, so it was the most suitable.

This was an unprecedented event which has never occurred since the dawn of the 33 heavens! The merging of three conceptual laws into a single physique via regalia refinement! If the circumstances were slightly different, with different regalia, this would be utterly impossible.

Once more, they went silent as they awaited the growth of their own heaven.
