Chapter 1182: The Immortal Golden Body
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When the Great Solar Undying Body marched into the golden magma lake, Mu Chen shuddered as he sat on the edge of the lake. Beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
The instant he came into close contact with the Great Solar Undying body, he felt a clear surge of an indescribable terrifying force scouring the enormous body frantically. Then, he could see that the initially gigantic Great Solar Undying body was shrinking visibly, its layers slowly melting away.
This melting not only had an effect on the Great Solar Undying Body, but upon Mu Chen as well. Thus, an unspeakable pain surged through his body.
It was a pain that even Mu Chen could barely withstand. As he clenched his jaw, some blood seeped out of the corner of his lips.
His body wouldn’t stop convulsing and his eyes were bloodshot, but he endured it with all of his might. He knew that the Great Solar Undying Body was using the power from the magma lake to transform itself.
Thus, what he was experiencing was the torment of the transformation. If he failed to endure this, the transformation would be incomplete, so even if he did evolve into the Immortal Golden Body, it would not be complete!
If that were to happen, all these years of hard work would go to waste! Hence, this transformation has to be perfect!
Feeling the pressure, Mu Chen was drenched in sweat. Within the lake, the golden magma was still scouring the Great Solar Undying Body furiously. At this rate, the gigantic body was shrinking even more rapidly!
As the Great Solar Undying Body was decreasing in volume, its surface color was also experiencing changes. The initial dazzling gold color had grown deeper, even revealing a tiny hint of purple.
Behind the Great Solar Undying Body, the great sun melted into a golden liquid, then streamed down and covered the surface of the Great Solar Undying Body. Finally, due to the scouring of the magma lake, it started to melt into the large body.
Initially, when the Great Solar Undying Body had just gotten into the magma lake, it was a few ten thousand feet tall. But, within just ten minutes, it had shrunk to be no more than a thousand feet tall!
Although it was shrinking continuously, if one were observing it closely, they would notice that the power contained within this Sovereign Celestial Body was rising to an astonishing level. At this point, Mu Chen felt it too, which made his tormenting agony slightly easier to bear. At the very least, this reaction comforted him, as his suffering would be purposeful!
As he was dealing with the horrible agony of the transformation process, the concept of time seemed to disappear for Mu Chen. In time, Mu Chen gradually grew numb towards the pain.
However, this numbness wasn’t good! If he fell too deep into it, the intelligence within him would be destroyed. Then, even the smallest accident could activate the Sovereign Body’s self-destruction mechanisms by mistake!
Mu Chen obviously could not hold on forever under such harsh circumstances, so his only hope was that the Great Solar Undying Body would complete its transformation before he lost consciousness.
Otherwise, the consequences could be horrifying! Fortunately, Mu Chen’s wish seemed to have been granted!
Gurgle gurgle.
On the altar, bubbles were rising from under the massive golden magma lake. In the end, it burst open and rays of golden light exploded into utter magnificence!
Mu Chen’s face was pale as death, as he gently opened his eyes. There was no glimmer in them, only signs of absolute exhaustion. The suffering he had just experienced had almost made him collapse.
However, as he gazed at the golden magma lake with his slightly numb eyes, he was able to focus again. All of the seemingly endless pain and suffering that he had just felt then suddenly disappeared.
“Was it a successful transformation?” Mu Chen muttered to himself, as he stared fixedly at the magma lake.
Gurgle gurgle!
As he watched the lake, magma bubbles started to surface on it. In fact, the entire magma lake seemed to be boiling! As each bubble burst, a golden light gushed out of it.
