"What exactly was going on? Wasn't I awakening my Martial Soul? Why was I seeing this?" Lu Chen was baffled.
Just now, when each of them awakened their Martial Souls, everything had gone smoothly. They only needed to accept the guidance, hold out their right hands, and wait for their Martial Souls to emerge. The process had been extremely fast.
So why had he somehow entered his own spiritual world? And why was there a sphere of light containing unbelievably terrifying energy in his spiritual world?
Time quietly passed. Nearly ten minutes had gone by outside, yet Lu Chen, wrapped in golden light, still floated in the air with his eyes closed, looking peaceful and serene. There was no sign of his Martial Soul awakening at all.
"What...? Sir Deacon, what is going on? Why hasn't Little Chen awakened his Martial Soul yet?" Old Jack's face was filled with worry. Seeing that Lu Chen showed no abnormalities, he barely managed to relax, but he could not help asking Su Yuntao.
Su Yuntao, on the other hand, was already drenched in sweat, his teeth clenched tight. The previous Martial Soul awakenings had consumed over half of his Soul Power, and he had never expected the final child to encounter an accident.
"I... I... don't know either. I have never... seen... such a situation."
Su Yuntao spoke with difficulty. At this point, the Martial Soul awakening was no longer something he could stop whenever he wished. Lu Chen was no longer being guided by him; instead, Lu Chen was continuously drawing upon his Soul Power.
The Soul Power he had left could last at most a few more minutes. Any longer, and there would be nothing left—not a single drop.
Inside Lu Chen's spiritual world.
The sphere of light was still brewing terrifying energy. During this time, Lu Chen discovered that as the energy within it grew more violent, the sphere had become twice as large as before.
He could even clearly see the cracks across its surface.
"This mysterious sphere of light looks like it's about to explode... ⊙﹏⊙ This is my spiritual world! If it really blows up and turns me into an idiot, what then? Am I going to be going 'aba aba aba aba' for the rest of my life?"
Lu Chen was a little frightened. Why had a perfectly normal Martial Soul awakening turned into this? Shouldn't it have been Lu Chen's Martial Soul awakening evolution—Lu Aotian?
But now, it looked more like Lu Chen's Martial Soul awakening evolution—Lu Aba?
"This is a disaster! I'd rather never have transmigrated and stayed a useless shut-in than become an idiot! Heavens, are you messing with me?"
Just as Lu Chen had thought, as the sphere expanded, the cracks on it became exceedingly obvious. Multicolored light shot out from those cracks, forming beams of light.
The sphere of light was about to explode.
"Your mom's exploding!!!" Lu Chen screamed in terror before being swallowed by the intense light.
Outside.
Su Yuntao's face was already deathly pale, as if his body had been completely hollowed out.
"This... my Soul Power has been... drained dry. Not a drop is left."
Seeing this, everyone else could do nothing but worry helplessly.
Old Jack, the village chief, was even waving his Carrot Martial Soul around as he paced back and forth inside Spirit Hall.
Tang San, beside him, also frowned tightly. This was completely different from their Martial Soul awakenings. "Lu Chen, I figured out long ago that you weren't an ordinary person. Although you're usually a little arrogant and your mouth is a little sharp, I still hope you'll be safe."
At that instant, the moment Su Yuntao's body was completely drained, powerful energy erupted from Lu Chen's body, centered on him.
Everyone within Spirit Hall was knocked to the ground by that energy.
In the spiritual world, after everything returned to calm, Lu Chen opened his eyes.
At the center of the chaos, six gems of different colors quietly floated in the void.
"What... are those?" Lu Chen was confused and controlled his body to move closer.
Once he drew near, Lu Chen finally saw clearly what was floating at the center of the chaos.
They were six magnificent gems. Looking at them, Lu Chen felt as though he had glimpsed the supreme power of this world.
From every one of those six gems, Lu Chen could feel incomparably powerful strength.
As if responding to him, the six Infinite Gems suddenly shot toward Lu Chen. One after another, they entered his body in an instant.
Boom...
Lu Chen's consciousness thundered without end. His six senses were directly sealed, and his mind churned so violently that he nearly fainted.
No one knew how much time had passed. Perhaps it was an instant, or perhaps it was eternity.
When Lu Chen opened his eyes again, he had already left the spiritual space and returned to reality.
"Huh? Why are you all lying on the ground?" The moment Lu Chen opened his eyes, he saw the absurd scene before him.
"Lu Chen, you just exploded." Tang San climbed up from the floor and rubbed his chest.
"Little San, what nonsense are you talking about? Getting cocky, are you? Or do you think your Brother Lu can't lift a blade anymore?" Lu Chen rolled his eyes at Tang San.
"Ow, these old bones of mine." Old Jack also climbed up from the ground, but his gaze quickly fell upon Lu Chen's right hand. "Little Chen! Your Martial Soul is?"
Hearing Old Jack say this, Lu Chen finally looked at his right hand. Everyone else focused their gazes there as well.
Six magnificent gems were slowly revolving around Lu Chen's wrist like a beautiful gemstone bracelet.
"This... this is! Infinite... Infinite Gems!!"
Lu Chen's eyes widened, and he even began to stammer. He only felt as though blood were rushing to his brain; his breathing turned rapid, yet he still felt starved of oxygen.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! What kind of treasures are the Infinite Gems? A single one is at least a Single Universe-level supreme treasure. How could they manifest as a Martial Soul? This is absurd. It has to be fake, right?"
But if these six Infinite Gems were fake, the information they gave Lu Chen was identical to the six gems on Thanos's gauntlet in his memories.
Not only that, as the master of the Infinite Gems, Lu Chen could truly feel just how vast and terrifying the energy contained within these six Infinite Gems was.
Everything seemed to be telling him that this was not fake.
"Little San~" Lu Chen spoke weakly.
"What is it, Lu Chen?" Tang San stepped forward.
"Hold me up~"
"What's wrong, Lu Chen? You drained Grandmaster Su dry, so why are you still so weak?" Though he said that, his body honestly supported Lu Chen.
"Weak?" Lu Chen's eyes widened as he looked at Tang San again. "Your Brother Lu is invincible now!"
"Lu Chen, have you gone crazy? There are countless powerful people in this world. Who would dare claim to be invincible?"
"What do you know? Times have changed. Even if I held Tang San in one hand, (on a dog leash) and bore the Heavenly Abyss on my back, I, Lu Chen, would still be invincible in this world."
"Lu Chen, I think we should keep our distance." As he spoke, Tang San took several steps back.
P.S. I once had a wish: if everyone were willing to tip me one yuan, wouldn't that be great? Believe me, I'd soon become a billionaire... ( ̄ε(# ̄)~
