Chapter 10: Participate in the Transformation and Nurturing of Heaven and Earth, and Praise the Profound Unity of the Universe
Before the Venerable Cauldron's voice faded, the phantom of the spirit tree suddenly shrank. Like time flowing backward, the towering giant tree rolled up its branches and leaves, retracting its roots. That mass of azure spiritual energy was wrapped, entangled, and squeezed by countless branches, finally condensing into a crystal the size of a dove's egg.
The crystal was amber, sealing a flowing azure halo within. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the red light of the Time Candle.
The Spiritual Amber dropped, falling into Lin Suri's open palm.
The moment it touched his skin, a sudden anomaly occurred.
Lin Suri's body shuddered violently.
Chen Lingxi clearly saw an invisible ripple spread from where the Spiritual Amber landed, instantly sweeping across Lin Suri's entire body.
Beneath his brocade robe, his flesh undulated like wind-blown wheat. Dense golden patterns surfaced on his skin, violently assailed by some surging force.
The patterns flickered erratically—sometimes brilliant as melting gold beneath a blazing sun, sometimes dim as a guttering candle in the wind.
Even more terrifying was Lin Suri's face.
