Chen Lin floated in the void, his eyes closed, his consciousness fully immersed in the service-stopping origin essence.
Following the records of the Stele Legacy, he began cultivating to improve himself.
The living beings of seven realms numbered well over ten billion, and the destiny force extracted from them was immense. Tracking down the Feng Family Ancestor had consumed very little of it, and now all of it surged into his body.
Time flew by.
Chen Lin felt his talent origin swell rapidly. Before long, he could barely withstand it. His refinement speed fell far behind the influx, and he feared that if this continued, the destiny force would backlash against him.
He immediately activated his red heart orifice.
The intertwined destinies of ten billion living beings all rested upon him alone. Even though these realms had no high-level practitioners, the burden was still far from easy to bear.
He could only divert some of it through his destiny heart aperture.
This might cause his red heart orifice to evolve again, or even attract a Dao tribulation, but he had no choice. He had to put out the fire burning his eyebrows first.
Even so.
The enormous destiny force still left Chen Lin teetering on the brink of collapse.
However, he had come prepared.
When he felt he could hold out no longer, he took out the Purple Light Cauldron and began using his talent ability to refine false pills, thereby draining away some of the destiny force.
When that proved insufficient, he refined several kinds of treasures simultaneously, finally maintaining a balance.
Gradually.
The intertwined destiny force began to weaken, while Chen Lin's talent origin reached its peak. His red heart orifice had even reached the threshold of evolution, and sealing symbols appeared upon it.
