Surging serpent fire rushed straight at him.
The flames blazed fiercely, evaporating countless sea mists as they soared upward and crashed onto Golden-Eyed Asura's head.
The scorching serpent fire seemed like nothing as it burned beside Golden-Eyed Asura King's head, making his hair even darker and brighter.
Under Brahma's blessing, even Shesha's flames could not harm Golden-Eyed.
For a moment, Golden-Eyed shook his head.
He snorted coldly, blasted away the flames, widened his eyes, and glared furiously at Shesha's snake head.
Shesha: "..."
It didn't work?
The Lord had told him to properly teach these Asuras a lesson!
Shesha's snake head tilted slightly. His round, watery snake eyes blinked innocently, while his dark tongue flicked up and down.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Shesha opened his mouth to one hundred and eighty degrees and exhaled thick black smoke, which shrouded Golden-Eyed from above and below, blocking his vision.
If he could not hurt Golden-Eyed, then he would interfere with him and distract him!
Boom!
"Courting death!" Golden-Eyed's violent temper naturally would not tolerate this. He roared furiously and threw a punch.
Shesha's snake head took the blow and immediately cried out in pain, wildly flicking his tongue as he began fighting Golden-Eyed.
At this point, Shesha stopped pretending.
He had come to cause trouble!
Hisss!!!
Shesha's countless snake heads hissed in unison, opening their great mouths and spewing scorching flames onto the other Asuras. Like flowing fire, they spread and burned across the Ocean of Milk, scorching divine bodies.
Cries of pain rang out from the Asuras.
"So hot!"
"So hot! It's so hot!"
The Asura Holika was in agonizing pain. She immediately released the snake head in her arms and leapt behind Asura Vajra Body.
"This serpent fire is powerful. It can hurt us, so be careful!"
Vajra Body said gravely.
Hearing this, Holika suddenly felt a sharp pain on her right cheek, burning and itching.
She immediately activated her divine power to extinguish the flames around her body. Her divine power manifested as a mirror, and when she looked into it, she saw small burn scars appear on her face. The scars resembled pimples and looked utterly hideous.
"Ah!"
"My face!"
Holika clenched her silver teeth. Panic instantly filled her beautiful face as she hurriedly covered it.
She activated what little divine power she had left and directed it toward the scars, trying to remove them.
Yet the scars remained even after being washed by divine power.
Holika's expression instantly darkened, and rage rose in her heart.
She raised her graceful neck, fury filling her eyes. She looked at the terrifying giant serpent rampaging and spewing fire with both resentment and fear. Fear ultimately prevailed, and she did not dare confront it. Inwardly, she swore that she would restore her beauty someday and obtain another blessing that made her immune to flames.
The Asuras fought fiercely against Shesha's snake heads, while the gods grew increasingly energized.
Shesha's enormously long tail swayed lightly. As the Ocean of Milk churned, it turned into dark clouds and fell as rain, pouring down with a crash.
A fragrant breeze swept over them, and milkwater rained down, invigorating the gods.
Amid this continuous pulling and churning.
The World Turtle moved, and Mandara Mountain shifted toward the gods.
Seeing this, Sukra slammed his staff down and shouted angrily.
"Enough!"
"Pull properly, all of you! If this continues, Mandara Mountain will be dragged entirely to the gods' side, and you will get nothing!"
Sukra's words jolted them awake.
Golden-Eyed's eyes widened as he glared angrily at Shesha. Then, no longer caring about Shesha's harassment, he grabbed the snake's neck and pulled backward.
The other Asuras had no choice but to continue. Activating their divine power to defend against the serpent fire, they painfully dragged the snake heads.
Years passed one after another.
Five hundred years later, a massive vortex formed beneath Mandara Mountain. The Ocean of Milk gradually thickened, becoming crystalline and stringy, as though it had changed from seawater into fat. Churning it became increasingly difficult.
The gods and Asuras all focused intently.
They knew that the Ocean of Milk was about to be successfully churned.
Indra was also fully focused, immersed in churning the Ocean of Milk.
He had already accumulated eight hundred years of Power of Arduous Cultivation. In another two hundred years, he could gather a thousand years' worth and empower the first layer of the Sun God Armor.
Just as Indra concentrated.
Above the vast Ocean of Milk, boundless light suddenly flashed. A golden radiance abruptly shot out from the Ocean of Milk.
Whoosh!
The golden light flew into the sky, gleaming brilliantly as a radiant figure emerged from within.
Goddess Lakshmi!
Vishnu wore a happy smile; Brahma breathed a sigh of relief; Shiva smiled without speaking.
The gods also rejoiced at this moment.
"The Mistress has appeared! Our strength is returning!"
"Wealth has reappeared, and power is about to return!"
"Wonderful!"
The gods were excited, and the Asuras were equally expectant.
Golden-Eyed narrowed his eyes, his expression solemn as he gazed at Goddess Lakshmi from afar, seemingly lost in thought.
Goddess Lakshmi's pink lips curled slightly.
She was breathtakingly beautiful. A crimson gauze robe edged in gold draped around her body, revealing skin as white as the bright moon. Of her four snow-white arms, two held pure lotuses, one held a golden jar, and the last formed a gesture of bestowal.
Crash!
Countless golden rays, like the morning glow, fell from that bestowing hand. They scattered across the world and drifted back into the bodies of the gods and Asuras.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Vast auras began to rise as the gods' power gradually returned.
"Hm?!"
Indra came back to his senses.
Within the golden light scattered by Goddess Lakshmi, he instantly sensed the changes in his body.
Streams of power continuously rose from below his lower abdomen.
The power of all living beings in the world came from the Three Channels and Seven Chakras.
The Three Channels were the Yin Channel, Yang Channel, and Central Channel!
The Seven Chakras, from bottom to top, were 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 was the passage of life, the Yang Channel was the passage of spirit, and the Central Channel was the passage of divine power.
The foundation of a god's strength was the lowest of the Seven Chakras, the Root Chakra.
The Three Channels emerged from the Root Chakra, spiraling upward through all Seven Chakras.
The Root Chakra gathered energy. Whether it was one's own power or the power of heaven and earth, it first passed through here. It was also called Kundalini Fire or Spiritual Energy.
Boom!
At that moment, Indra suddenly felt boundless power erupting three inches below his navel. Not only was his formidable life force coiling there, but countless powers of incense and faith from the Three Realms also gathered from heaven and earth.
These powers surged passionately like dragons and serpents.
They burst straight from the Root Chakra. As the Three Channels intertwined, heat rose and flowed into the higher Sacral Chakra.
The Sacral Chakra governed emotions and was Divine Fire.
The Sacral Chakra was like an endless vortex, drawing in all the personal power and incense offerings gathered by the Root Chakra.
The vortex revolved, like rising flames and like the churning Ocean of Milk. Surging energy sublimated with it, tempered into divine power, and streams of pure divine power continued upward through the vortex.
Indra only felt his lower abdomen swell with heat as his power continuously rose.
Divine power passed through the Three Channels and poured into the Solar Plexus Chakra.
The Solar Plexus Chakra governed will and was divinity!
As divine power suddenly flowed into the Solar Plexus Chakra, it transformed into countless bolts of lightning.
This was the divinity of his God of Thunder and Lightning!
Within Indra's Solar Plexus Chakra, countless bolts of lightning danced wildly, and explosive thunder of the sky roared.
The clouds above the Ocean of Milk responded. Dark clouds rolled, and countless bolts of lightning moved and danced like dragons and serpents. Deafening thunder suddenly resounded above the Ocean of Milk, echoing in every direction.
Rumble!
A bolt of lightning crashed down, striking Indra as blinding electricity flowed across his entire body.
The lightning divine power within him moved at the same time, surging toward the Heart Chakra.
The Heart Chakra signified control and was the divine body.
Beneath the electric light, Indra's entire body shone brilliantly. His divine body was incomparably huge, his skin dazzling and indestructible, radiating incomparable light like divine iron.
Divine power, Divine Fire, divinity, and divine body were complete.
Within the army of gods, one god after another fully recovered!
But Indra had not yet fully recovered. He was the God of Thunder and Lightning, the Lord of the Heavenly Realm, the chief god.
Indra's gaze was like the great sun, emitting brilliant radiance as he raised his head and looked toward the Heavenly Realm.
The lightning divine power within him continued upward through the Three Channels and rushed into the Throat Chakra.
The Throat Chakra represented creation. It was—
Divine Realm!
