“Chick, you stay inside for a moment. Let me organize my thoughts.” Seeing that Chick was fine, Lin Fan finally relaxed. As for what had occurred inside the Celestial Crucible, Lin Fan felt puzzled. He had no idea what had happened, but he sensed a change within himself, which definitely required a thorough check.
Firstly, his cultivation level had not changed much—it was still at the early stage of Enlightenment. This confused Lin Fan. If his power hadn’t increased, how could a simple gesture cause space to shatter? It was truly inexplicable.
“Huh…” As Lin Fan examined his inner self, he noticed something unusual about his blood, which filled his body. He could clearly sense that his blood was continuously absorbing Celestial Qi. Moreover, within every drop of his blood, it was as if a miniature universe existed—though hazy and indistinct, revealing no obvious anomalies.
At that moment, his pores opened, and a surge of Celestial Qi flowed into him.
“Ding! Congratulations! Experience increased by ten thousand.”
Lin Fan’s expression abruptly changed—he was nearly scared out of his wits. Gaining experience without battling monsters or consuming pills was simply impossible!
Even a Grandmaster of the Heavens needed to consciously absorb energy, yet Lin Fan experienced a constant gain in experience every second, as if he were passively leveling up. It was incredibly powerful.
Lin Fan deeply admired this ability. With such power, his future would surely be filled with success.
Looking at his right hand, Lin Fan found it strange—it had somehow transformed into something resembling a Qilin arm.
Just then, his arm suddenly emitted a red glow.
“Oh no, it’s that thing,” Lin Fan exclaimed in shock. The arm refined by the Celestial Crucible had somehow appeared on his right hand.
Alarmed, Lin Fan hastily opened his interface to inspect it. Eventually, he found the issue.
“Eternal Arm: Origin unknown, invincible, currently in a damaged state.”
“Eternal Arm?” Lin Fan was about to raise his right hand to stroke his chin but quickly stopped himself in alarm. He couldn’t risk another space collapse that might shatter his jaw.
The arm seemed to understand its limits and surrendered to Lin Fan’s control. However, the initial fusion was somewhat uncomfortable. He realized he needed to learn to control its power.
At that moment, Lin Fan noticed another strange sensation—his back felt itchy. He tried scratching it but felt nothing unusual.
But Lin Fan, with his system, could detect any abnormalities. He continued scanning his interface until he soon discovered another anomaly.
“Celestial Scripture: The first word in the universe, containing supreme power, currently in a damaged state.”
…
What did this mean? Why were both items in a damaged state? Although the Celestial Scripture was incomplete, it should at least provide some benefit.
“Chick, stay inside for a while, I need to sort out my thoughts.” Seeing that the chick was unharmed, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. As for what had happened inside the Heavenly Earth Furnace, Lin Fan was puzzled. He had no idea what had transpired, yet he had undergone some changes himself, which warranted a thorough examination.
First, his cultivation level hadn’t changed much; he was still at the initial stage of the Divine Entry realm. This puzzled Lin Fan greatly. How could he cause the void to shatter with a mere gesture if his cultivation hadn’t strengthened? It was quite baffling.
“Hmm…” While Lin Fan was introspecting, he noticed that the blood coursing through his body felt different. He could distinctly feel his blood continuously absorbing the true essence of heaven and earth. Moreover, each drop of blood seemed to contain a miniature world, though it was still shrouded in mist, making it impossible to discern any anomalies.
At that moment, his pores expanded, and a surge of true essence from heaven and earth rushed in.
“Ding, congratulations, experience increased by ten thousand.”
Lin Fan’s expression changed instantly, almost as if he was about to wet himself. Gaining experience without fighting monsters or consuming pills? That was simply impossible.
Even a powerhouse at the Great Heavenly Position level had to consciously absorb true essence, but Lin Fan didn’t need to do that. His experience was increasing every second, as if he was idling, which was quite impressive.
Lin Fan was deeply impressed by this ability. His future days were surely going to be prosperous.
At this moment, Lin Fan glanced at his right hand, which had become quite strange. When had it turned into something resembling a Qilin’s arm?
Just then, a red light flashed from his arm.
“Whoa, it’s that thing!” Lin Fan was startled. The arm that had been refined by the Heavenly Earth Furnace had somehow merged with his right hand.
Feeling nervous, Lin Fan quickly opened his status panel to investigate and finally found the issue.
“Ancient Arm: Origin unknown, eternally invincible, incomplete state.”
“Ancient Arm?” Lin Fan was about to raise his right hand to touch his chin but quickly lowered it, fearing that another void-shattering event might occur and destroy his jaw.
The arm seemed to know its place, realizing it couldn’t defeat Lin Fan and thus surrendered. However, the initial fusion was a bit uncomfortable, and Lin Fan realized he needed to control its power.
At this point, Lin Fan noticed another issue—his back was itching. He scratched it but didn’t feel anything unusual.
However, with his system, no demon or monster could escape Lin Fan’s detection. He continued searching on his panel and soon found the problem.
“Heavenly Earth Scripture: The first text between heaven and earth, containing supreme power, incomplete state.”
…
What does this mean? Why is everything in an incomplete state? Even if the Heavenly Earth Scripture is incomplete, it should at least have some use.
“Cluck cluck cluck…” At this moment, the chick in the midst of its nirvana cried out again.
It was quite unhappy that Lin Fan had left it aside, ignoring it. After all, it had risked its life to save him, so why wasn’t he helping it out?
“Chick, don’t worry, let me figure this out first.” Lin Fan called out to the eggshell and then fell into deep thought again.
The Heavenly Earth Scripture must be of great use, though Lin Fan hadn’t discovered it yet. But the immediate priority was to control his right hand.
Otherwise, with just a slight lift, the heavens and earth would shatter, and how could he survive like that?
Lin Fan focused his mind, solidified his true essence, and slowly raised his right hand.
“Boom!”
Lin Fan winced, unable to bear the sight. Just as he raised his hand, the void in front of him shattered again. If the void didn’t have the ability to self-heal, the entire sky might have been destroyed by Lin Fan.
Lin Fan continued experimenting, gradually finding a way to control it.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
…
The void seemed fragile, continuously shattering, but Lin Fan gradually gained some insight. The arm was only temporarily unaccustomed to him, and as time passed, it would fully integrate with his body, giving him control.
After realizing this, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. What surprised him even more was that his “Indestructible Demon Body” had advanced to “Eternal Indestructibility.”
In Lin Fan’s mind, the moment he was about to completely collapse, it was the advancement of the “Indestructible Demon Body” that saved his life.
Sometimes, Lin Fan wondered if he was truly the chosen protagonist of this world. Despite all the reckless actions and seemingly hopeless situations, he always managed to turn the tables. It was like a newbie challenging the world’s ultimate boss and, through various bizarre means, defeating it and instantly becoming a god-level expert.
But why didn’t this Ancient Arm destroy him from the start? That was something worth questioning.
At this moment, Lin Fan’s eyes lit up. Could it be that he was carrying some kind of “idiot halo”?
Thinking about it, Lin Fan felt this possibility was growing stronger.
Considering the chick, Lin Fan felt this was highly likely. After all, the chick was a descendant of an ancient beast, but after being taken in by Lin Fan, its intelligence seemed to have diminished, losing all the ferocity of an ancient beast.
“Sigh…”
After figuring this out, Lin Fan didn’t care if it was correct or not; he simply believed his own reasoning.
Lin Fan looked at his right hand and nodded. He was invincible…
His future life could be summed up in eight words:
“Strong opponents? Go wild. Weak ones? Trick them.”
Then, Lin Fan stood up, patted his buttocks with both hands, and prepared to rescue the chick.
“Hey, the right hand is indeed different. Even patting my butt hurts a bit.”
The previously lifeless heart now felt incredibly joyful.
Phoenix nirvana, rebirth from the flames.
Lin Fan knew about this. Thinking about what the chick would look like after its rebirth, Lin Fan felt a surge of excitement.
“Chick, don’t worry, I’m coming to save you now.” Lin Fan took out the Life Seed.
He had studied this seed for a long time but hadn’t figured out much. However, for Lin Fan, it didn’t matter if it would be useful in the future; the priority was to free his chick.
Lin Fan held the Life Seed in his right hand, and the seed seemed to have a life of its own, trembling slightly as if it knew what was about to happen.
“Crack…”
A crisp sound echoed as the hardest Life Seed instantly shattered, transforming into a river of life that dripped onto the eggshell.
“Cluck cluck cluck…” At this moment, the chick inside the eggshell seemed to sense something and cried out joyfully.
“Boom…”
In an instant, towering flames erupted.
“Cluck cluck cluck…” A cry resounded through heaven and earth.
Within the towering flames, a figure radiated a dazzling light, as if everything in heaven and earth paled in comparison.
Lin Fan watched the figure in the flames with great excitement.
A phoenix, a real phoenix.
The chick had finally transformed from an ugly duckling into a swan. Its majestic wings, slender body, and flaming tail were so domineering, as if all things in heaven and earth bowed before it.
Though the true form was still obscured by the flames, Lin Fan was certain—the chick had evolved.
Beneath the phoenix’s claws, an ancient tree that seemed connected to heaven and earth soared into the sky, like the king of trees, exuding an air of majesty.
“Chick, I knew you wouldn’t let me down.” Lin Fan clenched his fists in excitement, his joy beyond words.
“Cluck cluck cluck…” The chick cried out happily.
Lin Fan waited with bated breath, but as the flames dissipated, his excited expression instantly changed.
“This… this…” Lin Fan was utterly dumbfounded, feeling an urge to die.
The chick was still the same chick, but now it had its first tail, though it was almost negligible.
The chick leaped into the air, as if it had been asleep for a long time, stretching its body freely. Its unremarkable claws extended in the air before landing on Lin Fan’s shoulder, its head nuzzling against Lin Fan’s cheek.
“Cluck cluck cluck…”
Lin Fan’s high hopes were instantly shattered by the chick’s current appearance.
A tailless, featherless chicken with an extra tail.
Chick was clearly upset about being ignored after having nearly sacrificed its life to save Lin Fan. How could Lin Fan not help it escape?
“Chick, don’t rush. Let me figure this out first.” Lin Fan shouted toward the eggshell before falling into deep thought once more.
The Celestial Scripture must have immense power, but Lin Fan had yet to discover its use. Right now, his priority was to control his right hand.
Otherwise, with just a slight movement, the sky would shatter—how could he survive like this?
Lin Fan focused his mind, stabilized his energy, and slowly raised his right hand.
“Boom!”
Lin Fan winced in discomfort. As soon as he lifted his hand, space shattered again. If not for space’s natural healing ability, the entire sky might have been destroyed by Lin Fan.
He continued experimenting, gradually searching for a way to control the power.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
…
Space seemed fragile, continuously shattering. Yet Lin Fan slowly began to understand—his arm was only temporarily unaccustomed to his body. As time passed and the arm fully fused with him, he would gain control over its power.
Knowing this, Lin Fan finally relaxed. But what surprised him even more was that the “Indestructible Demon Body” had evolved into “Eternal Indestructibility.”
In Lin Fan’s memory, during his final moment of total collapse, it was the evolution of the “Indestructible Demon Body” that had saved his life.
Sometimes Lin Fan wondered if he really was the destined protagonist of this world. No matter how reckless he was, or how life-threatening the situations, he always managed to turn the tide. It was like a novice challenger suddenly facing the ultimate boss at the peak of the world, only for the boss to die in bizarre ways, instantly transforming the novice into a godlike expert.
How could the Eternal Arm be so powerful? Why hadn’t it destroyed him from the start? This was something that couldn’t help but raise suspicions.
Suddenly, Lin Fan’s eyes lit up. Could it be that he carried a “Stupidity Aura”?
The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
Thinking about Chick, Lin Fan felt even more convinced. After all, Chick was a descendant of an ancient ferocious beast, yet after being taken in by Lin Fan, it had become as clueless as an idiot, completely lacking the fierce aura of an ancient beast.
“Sigh…”
After reaching this conclusion, Lin Fan didn’t care whether it was correct or not—he simply believed in his own reasoning.
Looking at his right hand, Lin Fan couldn’t help but nod approvingly. It was invincible…
His future life could only be described in eight words:
“Defiant against the strong, cunning against the weak.”
Lin Fan stood up, dusted off his pants, and prepared to rescue Chick.
“Heh, the right hand really is different now—even patting my butt hurts a little.”
His previously gloomy mood was now filled with joy.
“Little Chick, stay inside for a while, I need to sort out my thoughts.” Seeing that the chick was unharmed, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. As for what happened inside the Heavenly Earth Furnace, Lin Fan was puzzled. He had no idea what had occurred, yet he felt a change within himself, which he needed to examine carefully.
First, his cultivation level hadn’t changed much; he was still at the initial stage of entering the divine realm. This puzzled Lin Fan greatly. If his cultivation hadn’t strengthened, how could he cause the void to shatter with just a lift of his hand? It was quite baffling.
“Hmm…” While Lin Fan was introspecting, he noticed that the blood coursing through his body felt different. He could clearly sense that his blood was continuously absorbing the true essence of heaven and earth. Moreover, each drop of blood seemed to contain a world within it, though this world was still shrouded in mist, showing no obvious anomalies.
At that moment, his pores expanded, and a surge of heavenly and earthly true essence flowed into him.
“Ding, congratulations, experience increased by ten thousand.”
Lin Fan’s expression changed dramatically, almost to the point of being scared out of his wits. Gaining experience without fighting monsters or consuming elixirs was simply impossible.
Even a supreme powerhouse would need to consciously absorb true essence, but for him, there was no such requirement. Every second, his experience was increasing, as if he were idling in a game, which was quite impressive.
Lin Fan was deeply impressed by this ability. From now on, his life would truly soar to new heights.
At this moment, Lin Fan looked at his right hand, which had become quite strange. When had it turned into something resembling a Qilin’s arm?
Just then, a red light flashed from his arm.
“Damn, it’s that thing,” Lin Fan exclaimed in shock. The arm that had been refined by the Heavenly Earth Furnace had somehow ended up on his right hand.
Feeling nervous, Lin Fan quickly pulled up his status panel to investigate and finally found the issue.
“Ancient Arm: Origin unknown, eternally invincible, incomplete state.”
“Ancient Arm?” Lin Fan was about to raise his right hand to touch his chin but quickly lowered it, fearing that he might shatter his own chin with another void-shattering move.
The arm seemed to know its place, realizing it couldn’t defeat him and thus surrendered. However, the initial fusion was a bit uncomfortable, indicating that he needed to control its power.
At this point, Lin Fan noticed another issue: his back was itching. He scratched it but felt nothing unusual.
But with his system, no demon or monster could escape his notice. He continued searching on the panel and soon found the problem.
“Heavenly Earth Scripture: The first text between heaven and earth, containing supreme power, incomplete state.”
…
What does this mean? Why is everything in an incomplete state? Even if the Heavenly Earth Scripture is incomplete, it should at least have some use.
“Cluck cluck cluck…” At this moment, the chick in the midst of its rebirth called out again.
It was quite unhappy that Lin Fan had left it aside, ignoring it. After all, it had risked its life to save him, so how could he not help it out?
“Little Chick, don’t worry, let me figure this out first,” Lin Fan called out to the eggshell, then fell into deep thought again.
This Heavenly Earth Scripture must be of great use, though he hadn’t discovered it yet. But the immediate priority was to control this right hand.
Otherwise, with just a slight lift, the heavens and earth would shatter, making it impossible to function.
At this moment, Lin Fan focused his mind, solidified his true essence, and slowly raised his right hand.
“Bang!”
Lin Fan winced, unable to bear the sight. Just as he raised his hand, the void in front of him shattered again. If the void didn’t have the ability to self-heal, the entire sky might have been destroyed by Lin Fan.
Lin Fan continued experimenting, gradually finding a way to control it.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
…
The void seemed fragile, constantly shattering, but Lin Fan gradually gained some insight. The arm was only temporarily unaccustomed to him, and as time passed, it began to fuse with his body, giving him control.
Realizing this, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. What surprised him even more was that “Indestructible Demon Body” had advanced to “Eternal Indestructibility.”
In Lin Fan’s mind, the moment he was about to collapse completely, it was the advancement of “Indestructible Demon Body” that saved his life.
Sometimes, Lin Fan wondered if he was truly the chosen protagonist of this world. Despite all the reckless actions and seemingly hopeless situations, he always managed to turn the tables, like a newbie challenging the world’s ultimate boss and winning in bizarre ways, instantly becoming a god-tier expert.
This Ancient Arm was so powerful, so why didn’t it kill him at the start? This was quite suspicious.
At this moment, Lin Fan’s eyes lit up. Could it be that he possessed some kind of “idiot halo”?
Thinking about it, Lin Fan felt more and more that this might be the case.
Considering the chick, Lin Fan felt this possibility was quite high. After all, the chick was a descendant of an ancient ferocious beast, but after he took it in, its intelligence seemed to have diminished, lacking the dominance of an ancient beast.
“Sigh…”
After figuring this out, Lin Fan didn’t care if it was correct or not; he believed in his own reasoning.
Lin Fan looked at his right hand and nodded. Invincible…
His future life could only be described in eight words:
“Stronger opponents, more recklessness; weaker opponents, more trickery.”
Then, Lin Fan stood up, patted his buttocks with both hands, and prepared to rescue the chick.
“Hey, the right hand really is different; even patting my butt hurts a bit.”
The previously lifeless heart now felt incredibly joyful.
Phoenix rebirth, rising from the ashes.
Lin Fan knew about this situation. Imagining what the chick would look like after its rebirth, he felt a bit excited.
“Little Chick, don’t worry, I’m coming to save you now.” Lin Fan took out the Life Seed.
He had studied this seed for a long time but found no clues. However, for Lin Fan, it didn’t matter if it would be useful in the future; the priority was to free his chick.
At this moment, Lin Fan held the Life Seed in his right hand, and the seed seemed to have a life of its own, trembling slightly as if it knew what was about to happen.
“Crack…”
A crisp sound echoed as the hardest Life Seed instantly shattered, transforming into a river of life that dripped onto the eggshell.
“Cluck cluck cluck…” At this moment, the chick inside the eggshell seemed to sense something and called out joyfully.
“Boom…”
In an instant, towering flames erupted.
“Cluck cluck cluck…” A loud call echoed through heaven and earth.
Within the towering flames, a figure radiated a dazzling light, as if everything in heaven and earth paled in comparison.
Lin Fan watched the figure in the flames with great excitement.
A phoenix, a real phoenix.
The chick had finally transformed from an ugly duckling into a swan. Its majestic wings, slender body, and flaming tail were so domineering, as if all things in heaven and earth bowed beneath it.
Though the true situation within the flames was still unclear, Lin Fan believed it couldn’t be wrong; the chick had evolved.
Beneath the phoenix’s claws, an ancient tree that seemed connected to heaven and earth soared into the sky, like the king of trees, exuding majesty.
“Little Chick, I knew you wouldn’t let me down.” Lin Fan clenched his fists in excitement, his joy beyond words.
“Cluck cluck cluck…” The chick called out happily.
Lin Fan waited with bated breath, but as the flames disappeared, his excited expression changed instantly.
“This… this…” Lin Fan was utterly dumbfounded, feeling an urge to die.
The chick was still the same chick, but now it had its first tail, though it was almost negligible.
The chick leaped into the air, as if it had been asleep for a long time, stretching its body freely. Its unremarkable claws stretched out in the air, then landed on Lin Fan’s shoulder, rubbing its head against Lin Fan’s cheek.
“Cluck cluck cluck…”
Lin Fan’s high hopes were instantly shattered by the chick’s current appearance.
A tailless, featherless chicken with an extra tail.
Lin Fan was well aware of this process. Thinking about how Chick would look after rebirth, Lin Fan felt a little excited.
“Chick, don’t panic. I’m coming to save you now.” Lin Fan took out the Life Seed.
He had studied this seed for a long time without discovering its secrets. But for Lin Fan, it didn’t matter whether it would be useful in the future—he needed to use it to free Chick first.
Lin Fan held the Life Seed in his right hand. Strangely, the seed, seemingly alive, trembled slightly, as if aware of what was about to happen.
“Crack!”
With a crisp sound, the incredibly hard Life Seed shattered instantly, transforming into a stream of Life River, dripping onto the eggshell.
“Oooooo…” At that moment, Chick inside the eggshell seemed to sense something and joyfully crowed.
“Boom!”
In an instant, raging flames erupted.
“Oooooo…” A crow echoed through the heavens.
Within the raging flames, a radiant figure emerged, glowing brilliantly, as if everything else in the universe paled in comparison.
Lin Fan watched the figure in the flames with immense excitement.
A phoenix—a true phoenix.
Chick had finally transformed from an ugly duckling into a swan. Its majestic wings, slender body, and fiery tail exuded an overwhelming dominance, as if all beings in the universe bowed beneath it.
Although the true form had yet to be revealed through the flames, Lin Fan was certain—Chick had evolved.
And beneath the phoenix’s claws, an ancient tree, seemingly connected to the heavens and earth, soared skyward like the king of all trees, exuding immense majesty.
“Chick, I knew you wouldn’t disappoint me.” Lin Fan clenched his fists in excitement, his exhilaration indescribable.
“Oooooo…” Chick joyfully crowed.
Lin Fan eagerly waited, but the moment the flames vanished, his excited expression instantly froze.
“This… this…” Lin Fan was stunned, feeling like dying on the spot.
Chick was still the same Chick. The only difference was that it now had its very first tail—though barely noticeable.
Chick leaped into the air, as if awakening from a long sleep, joyfully stretching its body. Its uniquely stylish claws stretched out mid-air before landing on Lin Fan’s shoulder, rubbing its head against Lin Fan’s cheek affectionately.
“Oooooo…”
Lin Fan’s high expectations were instantly shattered by Chick’s current appearance.
A featherless chicken with an additional tail.
