Rolling serpent fire rushed towards him.
The flames burned, scorching and intense, evaporating countless sea mists. They rose up and struck the Golden-Eyed Asura's head.
The fierce serpent fire seemed to pass through him like nothing, burning around the Golden-Eyed Asura King's head, making his hair even darker and more lustrous.
Under Brahma's blessings, even Shesha's flames could not harm the Golden-Eyed one.
For a moment, the Golden-Eyed one shook his head.
He let out a cold snort, shaking off the flames. He widened his eyes and glared furiously at Shesha's snake head.
Shesha: "..."
Was it useless?
The Supreme Lord had said he needed to properly educate these Asuras!
Shesha tilted its snake head slightly. Its round, bulging snake eyes were clear and watery, blinking adorably. Its slightly dark, forked tongue flicked up and down.
Swish!
The next moment, Shesha opened its mouth wide to a hundred and eighty degrees. Dense black smoke billowed from its mouth, enveloping the Golden-Eyed one, spreading above and below, obscuring his vision.
If he couldn't harm the Golden-Eyed one, then he would disrupt him and make him lose focus!
Boom!
"You're asking for death!" The Golden-Eyed one's fiery temper naturally wouldn't tolerate this. He roared and let out a punch.
Shesha's snake head took the blow and immediately felt pain. Its tongue flicked wildly as it began to fight with the Golden-Eyed one.
At this point, Shesha stopped pretending.
He was here to cause trouble!
Hiss!!!
All of Shesha's myriad snake heads hissed in unison. They all opened their massive mouths, and fierce flames erupted, burning the other Asuras. Like flowing fire, they spread and burned across the Ocean of Milk, scorching their divine bodies.
Waves of pained cries erupted from the Asuras.
"So hot!"
"So hot! It's so hot!"
The Asura [Holika] cried out in pain and immediately released the snake head she was holding. She hopped and skipped, dodging behind the Asura [Vajra Body].
"This serpent fire is very powerful and can hurt us. Be careful!"
The Vajra Body said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Holika felt a sharp pain on her right cheek, burning and itching.
She immediately channeled divine power to extinguish the flames on her body. Her divine power manifested as a mirror. When she looked into it, she saw small burn scars appearing on her face. The scars were like pimples, very unsightly.
"Ah!"
"My face!"
Holika gritted her teeth, her beautiful face instantly filled with panic. She quickly covered her face.
She channeled her remaining divine power towards the scars, wanting to remove them.
However, the scars remained even after the divine power had been applied.
Holika's expression instantly darkened, and anger surged within her.
She lifted her swan-like neck, her eyes filled with anger, resentment, and fear as she gazed at the terrifying great serpent spewing fire. Fear dominated her thoughts, and she dared not confront it. She vowed in her heart to restore her beauty later and to obtain another blessing that would make her impervious to fire.
While the Asuras were fiercely battling Shesha's snake heads, the gods on the celestial side were gaining momentum.
Shesha's extremely long and massive tail swayed gently. The churning Ocean of Milk transformed into dark clouds, descending as rain, pouring down with a pitter-patter.
A fragrant breeze wafted over, and the milky water sprinkled down, invigorating all the gods.
Amidst this constant pulling and churning.
The spiritual tortoise moved, and the Mandara Mountain also approached the direction of the gods.
Seeing this, the sage Sukra struck his staff loudly and roared.
"Enough!"
"All of you, keep pulling properly! If this continues, the entire Mandara Mountain will be pulled to the gods' side, and you'll have nothing!"
Sage Sukra's words awakened them from their daze.
The Golden-Eyed one's eyes widened, and he glared at Shesha. Then, ignoring Shesha's entanglement, he grabbed the snake's neck and pulled back.
The numerous Asuras also had no choice but to continue, channeling their divine power to defend against the serpent fire, pulling the snake heads with great suffering.
Years passed.
Five hundred years later, a massive vortex formed beneath the Mandara Mountain. The Ocean of Milk gradually became viscous and stringy, appearing to transform from seawater into oil. The churning became increasingly difficult.
All the gods and Asuras were focused intently.
They knew the Ocean of Milk was about to be successfully churned.
Indra was also focused at this moment, immersed in churning the Ocean of Milk.
His Tapasya had already spanned eight hundred years; in another two hundred, he would be able to gather a millennium of Tapasya power to empower the first layer of the Sun God Armor.
Just as Indra was focused.
Above the vast Ocean of Milk, endless bright light suddenly flashed, and a golden radiance shot out from the Ocean of Milk.
Whoosh!
This golden light flew into the sky, its radiance flickering, revealing a glorious figure within.
Goddess Lakshmi!
Vishnu wore a blissful smile; Brahma let out a sigh of relief; Shiva smiled without speaking.
The gods also rejoiced at this moment.
"The Mother has appeared, our strength will return!"
"Wealth reappears, power is about to return!"
"Wonderful!"
The gods were excited, and the Asuras were also filled with anticipation.
Golden-Eyed narrowed his eyes, his expression solemn, gazing at Goddess Lakshmi from afar, wondering what he was thinking.
Goddess Lakshmi's delicate lips curved upwards.
Her beauty was extreme, clad in a crimson veil edged with gold, revealing skin as pure as the bright moon. She had four snow-white arms; two held pure lotuses, one held a golden pot, and the last made a gesture of giving.
Splash!
Countless golden rays, like the morning glow, descended from this giving hand, scattering across the world, drifting back into the bodies of the gods and Asuras.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Majestic auras began to rise, and the power of the gods gradually returned.
"Hmm?!"
Indra snapped back to attention.
In the golden light scattered by Goddess Lakshmi, he instantly felt a change within himself.
Waves of power began to surge from below his abdomen.
The power of all living beings in the world originates from the Three Channels and Seven Chakras.
The Three Channels are the Yin Channel, the Yang Channel, and the Central Channel!
The Seven Chakras, from bottom to top, are the Root Chakra, Sacral Chakra, Solar Plexus Chakra, Heart Chakra, Throat Chakra, Third Eye Chakra, and Crown Chakra.
Among the Three Channels, the Yin Channel is the passage of life, the Yang Channel is the passage of spirit, and the Central Channel is the passage of divine power.
The foundation of divine power lies in the lowest of the Seven Chakras, the Root Chakra.
The Three Channels originate from the Root Chakra, spiraling upwards and piercing through the Seven Chakras.
The Root Chakra gathers energy, whether it be one's own power or the power of heaven and earth. It is the first to be accessed, also called Kundalini Fire or Spiritual Energy.
Boom!
At this moment, Indra felt an infinite power erupting three inches below his navel. Not only was his own powerful life force swirling there, but also the power of countless incense and faith from the outside world, converging from the three realms of heaven and earth.
These powers were surging and passionate, like dragons and snakes.
They surged directly from the Root Chakra, entwining within the Three Channels, heat rising, and flowing into the Sacral Chakra above.
The Sacral Chakra governs emotions and is the Divine Fire.
The Sacral Chakra is like an endless vortex, drawing in the power of the self and the incense gathered by the Root Chakra.
The vortex swirled, like flames rising, like churning the Ocean of Milk, with rolling energy sublimating and refining into divine power. Streams of pure Divine Power continued upwards within this vortex.
Indra felt his lower abdomen heat up, and his strength continuously increased.
The Divine Power passed through the Three Channels and flowed into the Solar Plexus Chakra.
The Solar Plexus Chakra governs willpower and is Divinity!
As the Divine Power suddenly flowed into the Solar Plexus Chakra, it transformed into countless bolts of lightning.
This was his Divinity as the God of Thunder!
Within Indra's Solar Plexus Chakra, countless lightning bolts danced wildly, and explosive spatial thunder roared.
The clouds above the Ocean of Milk responded, dark clouds rolling, countless lightning bolts like dragons and snakes, lurking and dancing, and deafening thunder suddenly sounded in the sky above the Ocean of Milk, echoing in all directions.
Rumble!
A bolt of lightning struck down, hitting Indra, and dazzling electric light flowed through his body.
The lightning divine power within him also moved simultaneously, surging towards the Heart Chakra.
The Heart Chakra signifies control and is the Divine Body.
Beneath the lightning, Indra's entire body blazed with brilliance. His divine form was immensely vast, his skin dazzling and indestructible, radiating an unparalleled radiance like divine iron.
Divine Power, Divine Fire, Divinity, and Divine Body were complete.
Within the heavenly army, the gods were fully restored!
But Indra was not yet. He was the God of Thunder and Lightning, the Lord of Heaven, the Sovereign.
Indra's gaze was like the great sun, emitting brilliant light as he looked up towards Heaven.
The divine power of lightning within him followed the Three Channels and Seven Chakras, continuing upward, surging into the Throat Chakra.
The Throat Chakra represented creation, and it was—
The Divine Realm!
