Chapter 105: Half a Black Balance
Ye Lin clearly felt a powerful suction force coming from the top of his head. His consciousness began to blur bit by bit, and something in his body seemed to be being frantically sucked away by the Eternal Balance in Student Zhuge Qianxing's hand.
"Ah!!!"
Ye Lin let out a hysterical roar. As someone with an Undying Body, his tolerance for pain had long since reached an outrageous level.
Even if his hands and feet were broken, or even if his heart was dug out and his liver was dissected, it was difficult to make Ye Lin move.
But even so, at this moment, he still felt a huge pain that was difficult to describe in words. This pain was like an invisible pair of big hands tearing his soul into pieces bit by bit. This kind of pain was far from what physical pain could compare to.
A revolving lantern even began to appear before Ye Lin's eyes; he saw one scene after another that he had experienced in the past.
The aura of death became increasingly thick. Ye Lin clearly felt that his ability to be undying was leaving him bit by bit.
Ye Lin wanted to resist, but his body was completely out of control, and he could only watch helplessly as Student Zhuge Qianxing acted recklessly.
Just when that soul-tearing pain reached its peak, a dazzling light shot up into the sky from within Ye Lin's body!
Within that light, one could vaguely see half an exquisitely beautiful black balance, echoing the Eternal Balance in Student Zhuge Qianxing's hand.
This half-balance seemed to have emerged directly from the depths of Ye Lin's soul, carrying an ancient and mysterious power.
It was just that if one looked closely, one could clearly see that this half-balance was covered with dense cracks, as if it would collapse completely if touched even slightly.
Ye Lin's entire body had been soaked in cold sweat, and his muscles couldn't help but start twitching. He clearly felt that his Undying Body... was gone!
The feeling from before where a thought would cause his cells to replicate and multiply rapidly had disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, he was just a Forbidden Spell Master as ordinary as could be.
He endured the intense pain and raised his eyes to look at that half-black balance. Was that the thing that had created his Undying Body?
Why did this thing look a bit like the Eternal Balance? Were there two Eternal Balances? Countless questions filled Ye Lin's mind.
Just at this moment, the Eternal Balance in Student Zhuge Qianxing's hand actually vibrated violently at this moment, as if it wanted to break free from his control and rush toward that half-balance.
And that half-black balance also wanted to rush back into Ye Lin's body at this time.
"Star Eternal Suppression!"
Student Zhuge Qianxing raised his hand unhurriedly, and brilliant star power condensed at his fingertips. He split his attention to two tasks, tapping lightly on the Eternal Balance and that half-black balance.
That black balance was suppressed by the star power and could no longer fly toward Ye Lin.
The restless Eternal Balance also calmed down in an instant. One wisp of black aura after another continuously emerged from the Eternal Balance, only to be shredded by the star power.
When the black aura disappeared completely, that Eternal Balance had turned into a golden fragment. It was no longer restless but floated quietly in the palm of Student Zhuge Qianxing's hand.
The golden fragment echoed the black half-balance, exuding a shocking ancient aura.
This scene made Ye Lin stand dumbfounded on the spot. Why did half a balance appear in his body? Why did that Eternal Balance become a golden fragment?
Could it be... the Origin Ancient Artifact, the Eternal Balance, had always had half of it inside his body?
"The Eternal Balance, one light, one dark. When the Eternal Balance tilts, it will infinitely amplify the ability on one side."
"The person who controls the Eternal Balance will have their strength increase as the sun rises, reaching invincibility at the moment of high noon."
"As the sun sets, the controller's strength will gradually weaken, but their body's recovery ability will increase significantly, until night falls completely. At the moment of midnight, they will possess an Undying Body."
"Possessing the two great abilities of being undying and invincible, the Eternal Balance is also hailed as the strongest Origin Ancient Artifact."
"It's just a pity that in this world, there has long been no Eternal Balance. This thing, ten thousand years ago, had already been beaten into collapse by successive great wars."
Student Zhuge Qianxing was as if talking to himself, and also as if speaking to Ye Lin.
"Moreover, the complete Eternal Balance also possesses an extremely heaven-defying equivalent exchange ability. As long as both parties are willing, anything—be it level, profession, lifespan, or even gender—can undergo equivalent exchange."
"When the Eternal Balance still existed, the Forbidden Spell Master was the strongest SSS-grade profession, bar none, because as long as one let a level 90 job-changer undergo equivalent exchange with a Forbidden Spell Master, swapping their level over, one could instantly create a level 90 Forbidden Spell Master."
Ye Lin looked at Student Zhuge Qianxing with suspicion and asked.
"What do you mean by telling me these things?"
A smile suddenly appeared on Student Zhuge Qianxing's pale face. He didn't answer Ye Lin, but raised his hand and pushed his glasses.
Half a black balance and that golden fragment floated before Student Zhuge Qianxing.
A sense of indescribable focus was revealed in Student Zhuge Qianxing's eyes, as if he had completely sunk into another world.
Star power danced continuously between Student Zhuge Qianxing's ten slender fingers like lively elves, as if an artist were playing a high-difficulty musical movement.
The golden fragment trembled slightly under the wrapping of the star power, seemingly responding to his summons. Afterward, this golden fragment was actually refined by the brilliant star power, forming a mass of golden liquid.
"Cough! Cough, cough, cough!"
Student Zhuge Qianxing coughed violently again. His complexion became even paler, but the movements of his hands didn't pause in the slightest.
Following the guidance of Student Zhuge Qianxing's fingers, that mass of golden liquid flowed slowly toward that half-black balance like a nimble stream.
Under the urging of the star power, that half-black balance began to emit a faint light. That light was warm and mysterious, as if it contained a vigorous life force.
The golden liquid began to seep in along the dense cracks on the half-balance.
Ye Lin was shocked and couldn't believe his eyes. If he wasn't mistaken, Student Zhuge Qianxing seemed to be repairing that half-black balance?
This was a legendary Origin Ancient Artifact!
In Ye Lin's shocked gaze, the dense cracks on that half-black balance were actually being repaired bit by bit.
Student Zhuge Qianxing was like the world's most exquisite top-tier craftsman, his ten fingers flying as he precisely repaired every crack and every crevice on the balance.
With the passage of time, the half-black balance, which had originally looked very awkward, actually radiated a dazzling brilliance.
A complete, undamaged balance appeared before Ye Lin's eyes. It looked exactly the same as the Eternal Balance, only it no longer had two kinds of light—gold and black—but flowed with a deep black luster throughout. The balance tilted to one side, as if it could swallow everything in time.
Student Zhuge Qianxing was currently so weak he could barely stand. His face was so pale that even a thousand-year-old zombie would have its yang energy sucked away by Student Zhuge Qianxing.
But the moment Student Zhuge Qianxing reached out and gripped that black balance, his pale complexion instantly became rosy, and his entire person seemed to have regained vitality.
Ye Lin's heart skipped a beat. He was all too familiar with this state; when he used his Undying Body ability in the past, he was in this state.
"It seems I succeeded."
Student Zhuge Qianxing's eyes were filled with surprise. When he raised his eyes to look at Ye Lin again, a cold killing intent flashed in Student Zhuge Qianxing's eyes.
"Then you are useless."
He raised his hand, and brilliant star power brewed in his palm. That terrifying power was sufficient to wipe out Ye Lin, who had lost his Undying Body, hundreds of times over.
Watching Student Zhuge Qianxing raise his hand to press toward him, a strong sense of horror rose in Ye Lin's heart, and his pupils shrank sharply. Possessing an Undying Body, he had never considered the question of his own death.
When death truly descended before him, Ye Lin finally understood how terrifying death was!
He closed his eyes in despair, but the intense pain he imagined didn't come. On the contrary, he only felt a warm, big hand rubbing his head.
"I was scaring you, silly boy."
With a thud, Student Zhuge Qianxing's body collapsed to the ground like a golden mountain falling and a jade pillar crumbling. ===== CHAPTER 106 =====
