Chapter 1499 - Mastery and Awakening (2/2)

…

Mu Chen sat cross-legged in front of the glass body that was exuding daunting oppression deep in the violet world. He was sweating profusely as if he were drenched from rain. Even though he was only a form of consciousness, that feeling was felt vividly by his actual body.

“How do I wake this Primordial Immortal Body from its sleep?”

While enduring the daunting oppression, Mu Chen had a bitter look as he realized he could not even touch the mysterious and ancient glass body in front of him. Currently, he was about ten feet away from the Primordial Immortal Body. If he inched further, the daunting oppression would crush him into pieces.

Getting close was out of the question, while no yelling or screaming would work. Mu Chen was out of his wits. How could he let this chance before him slip away when he had spent so much effort—including self-detonating his Immortal Golden Body—to get here?

When he thought of this, Mu Chen darkened his expression and shook his head. He would never allow such a thing to happen. He fixed his gaze on the Primordial Immortal Body soaked in the glassy light while he was running through ideas in his brain. Suddenly, an idea came to him.

“According to the Aeon Tower, there must be a strong impact to wake the Primordial Immortal Body up from its sleeping state. The legend has it that the five Primitive Celestial Bodies were formed together along with the world. Hence, they were mysterious and ancient, as they were tasked to safeguard the world. For any strong impact to be felt, it must be when the Great Thousand World was invaded…”

Radiance flickered in Mu Chen’s eyes. After a while, he suddenly took a deep breath and closed his eyes. His consciousness encompassed scenes from his memory and transmitted them to the Primordial Immortal Body that was covered in the glassy light…

Those scenes were of what Sovereign White Dragon had encountered in the Lower Planes. The Fiend Blood Tribe had enslaved millions of people and treated them like animals. Blood was squeezed dry, and people were made to be blood slaves. Killings were everywhere. As Mu Chen recapped the scenes, he constantly felt outraged.

While the scenes were transmitted into the glassy light, Mu Chen stared at the icy cold glass body without batting his eyes. Yet, the eyes of the Primordial Immortal Body remained tightly closed. Air seemed to freeze at this point in time while time slowly passed. As time went on, Mu Chen felt his hope diminishing. Not even this method could wake the Primordial Immortal Body?

“Must I really do it by force?” Disappointment flashed in Mu Chen’s eyes as he gave a bitter laugh. Just when Mu Chen had decided to change to another method, the body that had not moved for the past 1,000 years seemed to jerk slightly. The jerk was very minor, but Mu Chen sensed it as he was staring at it. Immediately, his heart skipped a beat.

Was it useful?

While Mu Chen was watching it with anticipation and delight, the vibration of the Primordial Immortal Body gradually became obvious. The glass body emitted multiple rings of light that were ancient and profound. At this time, a ring of ancient glassy light slowly took its form behind the Primordial Immortal Body’s head.

…

Sst!

As time went by, the dark red runes continued to spread over large areas of the golden figure’s body. Upon seeing this, Maha You could not control the exhilarated expression on his face. Everything was well within his expectation. Even though the golden figure might be domineering, it did not have any spiritual intelligence. Hence, it could do nothing to such corrosion taking over its body.

After more than ten minutes, the dark red runes continued to spread out until they had taken over every corner of the golden figure. At that split second, Maha You could feel the incredible connection between the golden figure and himself.

He reached out his palm, and the golden figure lowered its head. It allowed Maha You’s hand to be placed on its head, as the current obedient golden figure was like a puppet under his control.

“Hahaha!” Maha You could no longer contain himself and let out a burst of loud laughter. The legendary Primordial Immortal Body was finally his! He, Maha You, was the ultimate winner in the Aeon Tower! Mu Chen and Ye Qing would always be stepped on by him.

…

While Maha You was happily laughing at how he had gotten control of the golden figure, Mu Chen was anxiously looking at the mysterious Primordial Immortal Body’s glassy eyes. The pair of eyes that had been tightly shut for thousands of years finally blinked and opened. At that instant, Mu Chen could feel the truly immortal aura. The Primordial Immortal Body was finally awake now.
