"Lord Chiyou, your body has not yet recovered. Could it be that the power accumulated by the Wanling Blood Array is insufficient?" Nine Netherworlds raised his head and asked. "Far from enough! Deploy the Wanling Blood Array across various places in the Northern Ju Lu Continent to collect blood and vitality for my restoration!" Chiyou commanded. "Deploy outside? Then, Lord Chiyou, the news of your resurrection might be leaked. If it attracts the great armies of the Human and Immortal Clans, then..." Nine Netherworlds expressed some concern. "Since I have been reborn, there’s no need to hide anymore. Follow my instructions; it’s time to meet the Human Race and the Immortal Clan." Chiyou looked up at the sky with a slight cold smile. "Yes!" Nine Netherworlds replied excitedly. Cultivating in the Well, unaware of cold or heat, nearly a year passed in the blink of an eye. In the Divine Demon Well, Shen Luo’s figure could no longer be seen. Only a black-and-white vortex surrounded him, like a large cocoon of black and white, enveloping him. At this moment, within the large cocoon, Shen Luo sat cross-legged, floating in the air. Half of his body was exposed, one side covered with golden dragon scales, the other with black demon armor, and two sharp horns on his head, looking extremely ferocious. He had turned into the Xuan Yang Demon Transformation. His eyes remained closed, but the single eye at his brow was open, rolling around wildly, emitting a powerful and majestic breath that had greatly improved. Suddenly, Shen Luo opened his eyes. One eye was dark as ink, while the other shone like stars, looking very eerie. Through a year’s hard cultivation, he had begun to grasp a glimpse of the Pangu True Technique, now just one step away from mastering it. He calmed his breath, flipped his hand, and a flash of blood light appeared in his palm, revealing a Gu insect shaped like a wasp with colorful wings, precisely the Fusion Gu. Compared to when it was first implanted into his body, the Gu insect had grown a whole circle bigger and its breath had completely merged with Shen Luo, now clearly fully tamed. "Success or failure depends on this." Shen Luo murmured to himself. With that, he raised his hand, bringing the Fusion Gu before him. The vertical eye at his brow suddenly spun, then flipped upward, revealing a blood-red sclera. A blood-colored crystal thread shot out from it, winding around the Fusion Gu, lifting it up to the vertical eye. The eyelid of the vertical eye expanded, like a mouth, swallowing the entire Fusion Gu. The Fusion Gu, one of the secret Gu insects of the Medicine Immortal Sect, has various uses. It can lodge in the spine or be placed elsewhere. By placing it into the brow’s main point , its power can be maximized. Then, the vertical eye closed, and within the swollen eyelid, it was unclear whether it was the eyeball moving or the Fusion Gu crawling inside, a large bump could be seen moving around. But this scene only lasted for a dozen breaths before the wriggling eyelid stopped moving. At this moment, Shen Luo’s eyebrows trembled, revealing a hint of pain. However, his body also began to change. The black demon armor on the left side of his body started to expand, encroaching on the right side, while the dragon scales on the right side spread toward the left. The two forces clashed like soldiers crossing the Chu River and Han boundary, charging against each other with relentless determination, and the battlefield was none other than Shen Luo’s body. The balance of forces broke, and Shen Luo’s whole being seemed to split in two, enduring unspeakable pain, while skin beneath the dragon scales and demon armor cracked inch by inch, leaking a great deal of blood. Soon, he was covered with blood, looking like a dumpling wrapped in sweet bean paste. At this moment, the vertical eye at his brow slowly opened again, and the eyeball inside had disappeared, replaced by a multicolored Fusion Gu. Shen Luo controlled the Fusion Gu, rapidly forming seals with his hands. With a burst of multicolored light shining from Shen Luo’s brow, the swirling demon armor and dragon scales around him came to a halt. But in just an instant, the Devil Armor and dragon scales, as if stimulated by something, charged toward each other even more madly, launching an all-out attack. This time, however, the situation changed. During the clashes, the demon armor and dragon scales began to dissolve to different extents, unexpectedly merging with each other. The pain in Shen Luo’s body intensified, and he could clearly sense the changes occurring within him, not only at the surface level but also at a deeper level within his body where some shackles were being broken. The sound of breaking spread around Shen Luo, and it seemed as if all the bones in his body were being crushed by this merging force, causing his body to involuntarily contract until he was curled up into a ball. The surrounding black-and-white vortex also contracted accordingly, enveloping him in the center. A shattering sound came from within the Divine Demon Well, and the black-and-white vortex was torn open by a force from inside. Shen Luo’s figure appeared, stark naked. At this moment, he was devoid of demon armor or dragon scales, showing no trace of the Xuan Yang Demon Transformation. His entire skin was snow-white and translucent, covered with fine cicada wing-like patterns upon closer inspection, faintly emitting a multicolored glow, and exuding steam-like white mist, presenting the phenomenon of Cloud Vapor and Mist of an Immortal. Shen Luo’s appearance had not changed, but the lines of his features were more harmonious, appearing somewhat blurred. If an ordinary person or one with low cultivation saw him, they would initially think he looked very ordinary, but upon a second look, they would feel he was somewhat different, and upon a third glance, they would perceive yet another change. This was because this improvement had allowed him to be reborn, reaching a state of returning to the original purity from the physical level.
