Being able to swallow the power of the Lord was undoubtedly a great joy for Lin Chen, but some unexpected troubles also appeared.
Rumble--As the sound of rushing rivers continued to come out of his body, and the sound became more and more terrifying, Lin Chen's body gradually inflated like a balloon that had been filled with too much air.
His face turned red. As time went by, the bulging state of his body not only did not disappear, but became more and more exaggerated. His body almost turned into a round ball.
Gradually, blood gushed out from his seven orifices.
As time continued to pass, blood poured out of his pores, and he became a completely bloody man.
"I didn't expect that although the Venerable's power could be absorbed, because it was too huge, before it could be transformed and absorbed, it would put tremendous pressure on my inner world, and even my physical body would be affected.
If this continues, my body won't explode, right?"
Lin Chen's mood changed from joy and expectation at the beginning to worry and helplessness later on.
He had felt a little pity before and thought it would be great if he could directly devour people with a higher level than himself.
Now it seems that the inability to devour monks whose realm is higher than one's own may be the mechanism of the "Star Eater" ability to protect the host of the Chaos Alien Fire.
For example, even if he can swallow the power of the master, I am afraid that the inner world and physical body will collapse in an instant before it can be transformed and absorbed! Fortunately, after an unknown period of time, Lin Chen's body finally gradually "diminished the swelling"
”.
He discovered another problem. Although the Venerable and the Ordinary Supreme Realm, Dzogchen, were still in the same realm, the power of the world they possessed seemed to be fundamentally different. This caused Lin Chen to transform and absorb the power from Li He.
time, the efficiency will be greatly reduced.
“It now appears that this retreat will take much longer than previously expected.
But at least for now, there won’t be any danger.”
Realizing that his body was gradually returning to normal, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and continued to maintain the operation of the "Holy Demon Devouring Heaven Creation Technique" to absorb the huge power in his body.
Lin Chen could notice that his realm was slowly improving. The further he got to the back, the slower the improvement. This did not mean that the efficiency of transformation and absorption was slowing down, but it meant that he was getting closer and closer to the one in front of the Venerable.
bottleneck.
On the fourth floor of the Divine Prison Tower, more than two thousand years have passed, and the power from Li He was finally completely transformed and absorbed by Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's realm encountered a bottleneck more than two hundred years ago.
It was as if there was a huge mountain in front of him that he could not push away no matter how hard he pushed. Afterwards, Lin Chen transformed and absorbed all the remaining power, unable to shake the mountain at all, and his realm did not improve at all.
He guessed that he had most likely encountered the bottleneck that Shang Yan once told him.
Lin Chen never thought that by transforming and absorbing Li He's power, he would be able to directly break through to the Venerable. He was already satisfied to have reached this point.
Normally, he would stand up now and probably laugh.
But he couldn't laugh at all right now, because he found that his inner world was about to collapse! "Damn it! How could this happen?"
Lin Chen was shocked and angry. He thought carefully about what the problem was. It didn't take long before he guessed the approximate answer.
He guessed that it was caused by his own realm improving too fast! In the past two thousand years, the realm has improved so much that it far exceeds the ordinary supreme realm of perfection in millions of years. If the realm improves too fast, there will naturally be
corresponding side effects.
Let’s use an analogy.
Originally, Lin Chen's realm was like a fifty-story high-rise building. Under normal circumstances, cultivation was to build the building higher while constantly strengthening the foundation.
Lin Chen's current task is to build a 50-story building into a 100-story building in a short period of time. If this happens, the foundation will not be able to withstand it and there is a risk that the entire building will collapse.
The special ability of Tianyan Longyan's "Eternal Fire" is actually equivalent to constantly reinforcing his foundation. The problem is that now he is building buildings far faster than the "Eternal Fire" can strengthen the foundation, so trouble arises.
.
Fortunately, everything was just a near miss and there was a tendency of collapse. It was not that the inner world had actually begun to collapse. The final result was that Lin Chen spent nearly a thousand years to stabilize his realm.
When he stood up, more than three thousand years had passed on the fourth floor of the Divine Prison Tower.
"This retreat has been really full of twists and turns.
Fortunately, the fourth floor of the Divine Prison Tower lasted more than three thousand years, while the outside world only lasted more than thirty years.
Over the past thirty years, my level has reached the bottleneck before His Holiness.
If you say it at this speed, even someone like Wuyou City Lord will be shocked?"
Lin Chen smiled. Overall, he was very satisfied with the results of this retreat.
But soon, he thought of something and his expression became ugly.
"The specific time I spent in seclusion is a little over 33 years, so the time until the 'Ranking Battle' is held..." Lin Chen calculated carefully and found that this time seems to be the year when the "Ranking Battle" was held.
, it is even possible that the "ranking battle" is over! This time, it shocked him.
I was busy returning to the original continent with the help of the "Yu" formula. I thought in my mind, the "ranking battle" must not be over yet. I also wanted to get the first place, so as to surprise both the master and Lord Mengyue, which can be regarded as
When Senior Shang wakes up, give him a surprise.
Returning to the original continent, Lin Chen headed to Earth City without stopping.
When the people in the City Lord's Mansion learned that Lin Chen was back, they all rushed over. The girls had been brought back by Leng Dongliu many years ago. Although Lin Chen had been gone for decades, they would not think that something had happened to Lin Chen.
But I also miss it very much.
After seeing each other for a long time, it was naturally a lively scene.
Lin Chen saw Murong Xuan, but did not see Leng Dongliu, and said: "Master, where is my master? Why didn't you see him?"
Murong Xuan was very happy when she saw Lin Chen. She forgot what Leng Dongliu had told her for a while, but when Lin Chen reminded her, she uttered an ouch and said hurriedly: "Your master said you were going to participate in the 'ranking battle' in Xuanhuang Palace.
This month is the day when the ranking battle will be held at Xuanhuang Palace, and he also told me that if you come back, he should rush over there quickly!"
Lin Chen was surprised, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, at least he didn't come back too late.
After chatting with everyone for a few more words, he used the teleportation array to go to the "Xuanhuang Palace" branch hall.
Looking at Lin Chen disappearing into the teleportation array, Lin Tian glanced at his sister beside him: "Sister, do you think Dad can enter the top ten?"
Lin Panpan shook her fist and was about to say something when she thought of her master's description of those who participated in the "ranking battle". She hesitated and said, "Should... it should be okay?"
