Chapter 211, The Truth of Eternity

Translator: Silavin

The ancient and unremarkable Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl, made of unknown material, appeared ordinary in every way, with nothing eye-catching about it. The only thing that attracted attention was probably the pattern carved on the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl.

Although the pattern was not specially coloured, it still appeared vivid and lifelike.

Snake body, crocodile head, lizard legs, eagle claws, antlers of a deer, covered in orderly scales – at first glance it seemed unremarkable, but looking carefully, it exuded an inexplicable majesty that made one’s Soul tremble.

Dragon. It was the supreme existence in this world. The continent had many races, but only Humans could use the Dragon as their Totems.

Although it was inside his Dantian, Qin Yichen could still feel its majesty. Even he felt his blood churning after examining it for a while.

“Dragon…” Qin Yichen’s expression became extremely solemn.

This was Humanity’s Totem!

He knew many legends about Dragons.

They were the supreme existence in this world, representing boundless power, representing omnipotence, representing… eternity!

Eternity was the common goal pursued by all living beings. Qin Yichen was the same.

Even transcending to a Saint, life was ultimately limited, and one would eventually perish and turn to dust.

In his previous life, Qin Yichen had touched the edge of eternity, but regrettably stopped short due to his own deficiencies.

After seeing the Dragon pattern on the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl, Qin Yichen seemed to understand something.

“Could the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl represent the truth of eternity?” Qin Yichen’s eyes grew brighter, and at the same time, he felt that his awakened Martial Soul seemed to have an inseparable connection with the pattern on the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl.

“Let’s try it.” He began trying to rediscover that feeling from before.

The Spirit God Technique and Spirit Body Technique began operating simultaneously…

He tried again and again.

He did not give up.

Just when his Spiritual Energy was exhausted and he was about to rest, surprisingly, the frequency of the Divine Soul Bead and Martial Body Bead once again achieved consistency.

*Hum…* A mysterious essence rippled out from within his body, and under this essence, the seemingly eternally unchanging Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl changed once again. Qin Yichen’s pupils once again turned black and white.

*Roar…* A Dragon Roar sounded out, and at this moment, the Dragon pattern on the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl seemed to truly come alive, brandishing its claws as it soared into the air.

If Qin Yichen had focused his attention on the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl at this moment, he would have discovered that the pattern on the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl… had vanished!

Soon, an immense aura descended upon Qin Yichen, and he felt as if his body no longer belonged to him. As power, endless power, spread out from within him.

He felt like his single punch could definitely kill a Spirit Realm expert!

His senses also became more acute – he could even clearly hear the earthworms moving underground outside the courtyard.

Just as Qin Yichen wanted to test this power, an extreme sense of weakness came from both his Knowledge Sea and Dantian, and he soon retreated from this invincible state.

*Huff… huff…* Qin Yichen fell onto the bed, breathing heavily, covered in sweat, his face somewhat pale.

“What happened?” He thought something had gone wrong, but after checking, he found that both his Spiritual Energy and Yuan Energy were in a state of exhaustion.

The Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl seemed to have dimmed even further from this attempt. The glow on it was now barely visible.

“So this is what it means to be a Heavenly Martial Artist?” Qin Yichen’s eyes were filled with intense joy, “No wonder Heavenly Martial Artists are so powerful.”

Now, he finally understood why Heavenly Martial Artists were so powerful, why they were called the people closest to the Dragons!

He never expected that the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl would give him such an enormous surprise. He had actually become a Heavenly Martial Artist!

“As long as the BiAn Family delivers the Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones, the An Family won’t be scary anymore!” Qin Yichen made the calm judgement.

With this trump card, he would not have to worry about the An Family’s assassinations anymore. However, the dimming of the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl became his biggest concern.

He did not know how long the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl could sustain in its current condition, or if there could even be a next time.

“If the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl is my Martial Soul, I wonder if Beast Souls can nourish it…” Thinking this, Qin Yichen took out the Beast Soul he had gotten from Little Xuan, muttering, “Whether it works or not depends on you.”

Different Martial Souls needed different Beast Souls for nourishment.

However, the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl had a Dragon carved on it…

Dragons had long become ethereal legends – where could he possibly find a Dragon Soul to nourish it!?

Moreover, Dragons were supreme beings – even if he encountered one, could he actually slay it?

Actually, Qin Yichen had noticed that when he transformed into a Heavenly Martial Artist, he did not have that world-destroying might. Instead, he showed weakness and inadequacy everywhere.

This might be because of the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl not having enough energy.

After barely one and a half transformations, the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl had already become almost completely dim. Naturally, it could not display a Dragon’s true might.

With an experimental attitude, Qin Yichen began refining the Beast Soul of a Demonic Beast, whose type he did not even know.

*Roar!…* As soon as he began refining it, a low roar came from within the Beast Soul, then a visible lion phantom manifestation was extracted.

Only now did Qin Yichen clearly see this Beast Soul’s appearance.

This lion phantom manifestation was majestic, its body was crackling with what seemed to be electric light. What caught Qin Yichen’s attention most was the single horn on its forehead.

“It’s actually a Lightning Lion?!” Qin Yichen was completely shocked.

This Lightning Lion was a Ferocious Beast – even ten Human experts of the same level might not be able to take down.

The reason was naturally because of its Lightning Attribute!

That was an extremely rare and powerful Attribute.

Qin Yichen had not expected his luck to be so good that he would obtain a Lightning Lion Beast Soul in a place like the Northern Region. His luck was simply Heaven-defying.

Without hesitation, he directly swallowed the Lightning Lion’s Soul.

This was like swallowing a bomb – his Dantian immediately erupted into chaos…

The tiny Lightning Lion rampaged through his Dantian, charging wildly about, throwing everything into disorder.

“This is bad…” Qin Yichen had almost forgotten that he currently had no ability to control the Lightning Lion. He was already in a weakened state, and now he did not even have any power to resist.
