Chapter 1068: Divine Body

Han Wuxian hums in annoyance, a strand of blood with golden glint drips from his mouth corner, but his gaze is rock‑steady and the power at his fingertips does not waver! He forcibly guides the fiercely struggling silver‑white Spiritual Fire, as if steering a runaway star, slowly moving it toward the brow center of that dark‑gold crimson body!

"Go in! Xiao Ran! This is your home!" Han Wuxian's thought, bearing an irresistible torrent of will, crashes into that chaotic Spiritual Fire core!

In the Spiritual Fire, the will core belonging to "Xiao Ran", under Han Wuxian's near‑soul‑burning summons and support, erupts with unprecedented cohesion! It clutches tightly the will "rope" transmitted by Han Wuxian, like grasping the only driftwood in a destructive storm, bearing resolve and an Infinity yearning for life, and bursts through its own chaos and cold poison's final barrier, smashing hard into the body's brow center!

Buzz!!!

Just as the Spiritual Fire touches the brow skin, the instant when Earth primal essence and source fire are forged!

A mutation erupts!

That body, which had only passively received the forging, seemed instantly infused with a soul's fuse! At the brow, a speck of silver‑white light flares up like the first ray of star that split heaven and earth! Immediately

Boom!!!

A ferocious, unmatched torrent of terrifying energy, mingling stellar destruction aura, mysterious yin cold‑poison force, and newly‑born Earth source power, erupts violently from within the body!

On the dark‑gold crimson torso, silver‑white and deep‑blue interwoven fissures instantly spread! Horrific cold frost and scorching Earth fire clash and annihilate on the surface! The silver‑white Spiritual Fire that had just merged into the brow surges wildly, seeming to emit a silent, painful shriek!

This initially fused body cannot possibly bear the three fundamentally different and mutually conflicting primordial forces within Xiao Ran's true spirit! It is on the verge of total collapse as the energy runs amok, and Xiao Ran's freshly gathered will is about to be extinguished again!

"Hold… steady!" Han Wuxian's eyes bulge, he roars a shout that shakes the entire Earth Vein Core Space! He can no longer mind his own consumption, pouring the entirety of the power that fuses Earth Vein Heart Will and Stellar Vein, without reservation, into that body on the brink of collapse!

"Earth Remains!" He slams his left hand onto the hilt of the massive earth‑embedded sword beside him!

Buzz!

"Earth Remains" sword erupts unprecedented light! The Dao patterns flowing along the blade seem to come alive, turning into countless dark‑gold crimson chain phantoms that instantly coil around the energy‑rampaging body! These chains are not shackles but conduits! They forcibly channel the three raging internal forces into the pool below built by Earth primal essence, and even guide them toward the distant surging Earth Vein source flow!

Simultaneously, Han Wuxian spreads his right hand's five fingers, palm down, and slams it hard onto the body's chest! The vast, pure Earth Vein source power mingles with his own divine‑golden bone‑blood force, like a spring of life, surging wildly, repairing fissures, stabilizing the structure, and forcibly suppressing the impending destructive energy!

This is a silent yet extremely perilous grapple! Han Wuxian uses himself as a bridge, "Earth Remains" as the hub, and the power of the entire Earth Vein Core Space as backing, forcibly harmonizing the terrifying clash of ice and fire, stars and Earth, destruction and rebirth within Xiao Ran!

His surface, dark‑gold crimson Dao patterns flicker unpredictably, his aura withers at a visible speed, even fine cracks begin to appear, as if he himself were being torn by the retaliating clash! Yet his crimson‑gold eyes blaze with unyielding fire, fixed on the stubbornly flashing silver‑white light at the body's brow that represents Xiao Ran's will!

"Hold… Xiao Ran… hold! A thousand hammers and countless refinements… forge true gold!" Han Wuxian's voice rasps amid the energy storm, yet carries a will that shakes heaven and earth!

That body, entwined by countless energy chains and tightly suppressed by Han Wuxian's palm, quakes violently; the silver‑white light at its brow, amid chaos and pain, struggles yet steadfastly… stabilizes!

A faint yet clear newborn thought, like a sprout breaking through soil, begins to stubbornly sprout deep within that shell on the brink of shattering!

Time, within this ancient Earth Vein Core Space, seems to have lost meaning. Only the body hovering above the dark‑gold primal essence pool, suppressed by the raging energy storm and Han Wuxian's full force, and that stubbornly flashing silver‑white will light at the storm's core, are the sole variations in this eternal Silence!

Han Wuxian's crimson‑gold body spreads cracks. The dark‑gold and crimson Dao patterns resemble an over‑loaded furnace wall, flickering unpredictably; each violent energy recoil deepens the surface fissures, the gold‑tinged blood that oozes instantly vaporizes under his own scorching aura. His aura is like a dying candle in wind, fluctuating violently, each breath a heavy burden. Yet his palm pressed on Xiao Ran's chest is as steadfast as a welded mountain root, unmoving! The vast Earth Vein source power flows through his body as a bridge, pouring into that shell on the verge of disintegration without regard for cost.

"Earth Remains" sword hums and trembles, its blade's Dao‑pattern chain light dimmed considerably, yet still tightly coils around Xiao Ran's body, forcibly diverting the internal raging conflict's energy into the Earth primal essence pool below and the distant surging Earth Vein source flow. The essence in the pool churns violently under the storm of energy, like boiling golden broth; the source flow's surface erupts dark‑red waves several meters high.

At the storm's core, Xiao Ran's body resembles a glass vessel about to shatter yet forcibly glued together. On its dark‑gold crimson base, silver‑white stellar fissures and deep‑blue cold‑poison veins flash, clash, and attempt to annihilate each other. Each outbreak makes the body quake violently, deepening cracks, yet under Han Wuxian's reckless infusion and the "Earth Remains" chains' forced suppression, the surging dark‑gold crimson energy painstakingly mends and reinforces them.

This is a tug‑of‑war between destruction and rebirth, a battle between will and Chaos!

Xiao Ran's will core condensed at the brow, amid Infinity's endless tearing pain and ice‑fire torment, is like a lone boat in a raging sea.

"Calamity… rebirth…" Within the Chaos shards of consciousness, this thought is like a divine anchor. Shattered memories, a yearning for life, the perception of Han Wuxian's all‑out protection, and the deep‑seated hatred toward those cold plunderers (Star Axis Guard), all of Xiao Ran's emotions and will, at this moment, are refined and purified by extreme pain! No longer passively endured, but actively, madly embracing this destructive forging!

"Ahhh!! Give me… melt!!!"

A silent soul roar detonates deep within the body!

In that instant, the three primordial forces that had been wildly clashing, trying to tear everything apart— the heavy, raging Earth Vein source power, the scorching destructive stellar ash, and the chilling, bone‑eroding mutated cold‑poison— seemed forcibly paused by this resolute will!

No, not a pause! It is... a deeper, pain‑and‑will‑forced metamorphosis!

Buzz!!!

Xiao Ran's silver‑white light at the brow suddenly contracts inward, no longer a burst of brilliance but a deep vortex! A strange, domineering suction erupts violently from the vortex's core!

An unbelievable scene unfolds!

The silver‑white stellar fissures, deep‑blue cold‑poison veins, and the dark‑gold crimson energy composing the body, as if summoned by a supreme will, no longer clash but, like countless rivers returning to the sea, surge madly toward the brow vortex!

Heh heh heh!

Energy is forcibly devoured, compressed, fused! On Xiao Ran's surface, those snarling fissures mend and vanish at a visible speed! In their place emerges an entirely new, indescribable texture!

Dark‑gold, crimson, silver‑white, deep‑blue… the four hues are not sharply separated, but under the brow vortex's frantic devouring and fusion, form a flowing, nebula‑like profound coloration!

This coloration streams and settles over the torso, eventually becoming a strange flesh seemingly forged from the oldest stellar dust and Earth core divine gold!

The flesh's surface is no longer smooth but naturally bears extremely fine, mysterious dark patterns, sometimes like mountain veins, sometimes like stellar orbits, sometimes exuding faint icy threads, perfectly melding the four forces' traits into a seamless Dao rhythm!

The raging energy storm, as if devoured by an invisible maw, instantly subsides!
