Chapter 103: Divine Crystal

  "Welcome to my domain, my companion." A very faint voice came over, with no fluctuation in the tone at all, it was almost not a human's voice.

  Space began to change, producing countless cracks. With a faint sound, the entire space collapsed and a universe appeared! A universe modeled after the Milky Way! Gallo even saw the shadow of the blue planet, Earth!

  But at this moment, nothing can surprise her anymore. Her heart is like a pool of stagnant water, devoid of emotions. The fake ice and snow have had an enormous impact on her mind, and in this moment, her thoughts are completely empty.

  The shattered white light slowly condensed into a human figure, just the shape of a person, with no visible body and unclear features. Only the faint outline of the human form and several blurry facial expressions could be seen.

  "Can't you accept what just happened?" The figure spoke up, and Gallo heard it. The reason why the figure's voice gave off that special feeling was not because of any special reason, but because this person's voice was already filled with boundless sorrow and pain.

  Taking a deep breath, Jia Luo forced himself to calm down "If it were you, could you, Jiang Wenyuan?"

  "You're right, I couldn't accept it either. From this perspective, you are much stronger than me." The figure slowly approached Galo's front "Just absorbed your spiritual power, sorry, Galo? You should have understood by now, that I and you, as well as Mongde, are all sacrifices under the Soul Refining Cauldron, right?"

  "Yes, but it seems that initially, you were better off than me." Gallo looked at him "After Mong came to this world, he had already lost his physical body and the only thread of soul was preserved by the living gold. And I also lost my physical body, on the contrary, turned into what I am now. As far as I know, the only one who can keep everything intact in this world is you."

  "Yes, I didn't suffer any damage when I came to this world, which makes me very fortunate. But do you know? It wasn't until after a while that I realized, maybe I'm even worse off than you." Jiang Wenyuan said with a bitter smile "My body wasn't injured, but what was hurt is my soul. During the space traversal, it was completely destroyed. I lost some human emotions and became extremely cold-blooded. So even if I'm forbidden from using flesh alchemy, I can still use it without hesitation. What's left is only a hint of attachment to the people I've lost."

  "Let's get back on track, there's no need for me to ask you, about that big gas thing."

  A figure sighed and said, "To be honest, the people I owe the most are those from Armenia. Thanks to their sacrifice, I didn't become a sinner. Did you guess the true situation of that gas?"

  "... Is this your second failed attempt at soul transmutation?" Garo spoke up. "With our alchemy skills, ordinary poisonous gases and harmful gases shouldn't be able to get out of control. The only possibility is that we can't grasp the power of soul transmutation."

  "Admirable, truly admirable, it's astonishing." Jiang Wenyuan sighed "No mistake, I've offended the realm of God for the second time, and brought about a second failure."

  "But don't worry, I've already completed my research on the gas. This is the solution." Jiang Wenyuan stretched out his hand, and a flash of light passed by, immediately transmitting the analysis of the gas into Gallo's mind.

  Ka Luo closed his eyes and accepted it. "Alright, I understand. So next is my question. What happened to the soul alchemy back then?"

  "Actually, I'm almost unable to wait any longer. The several hundred years have been enough to wear down the remaining soul of mine. In these hundreds of years, my already damaged soul has become thinner and thinner, and it's estimated that there are less than ten years left. However, relatively speaking, I haven't gained nothing. At least, I've come to understand some inside information about the refinement of souls."

  "What did you say!" There was no sentence that could shock Gallo more than this one. "What happened to you back then?"

  "Failed, failed for the second time." Jiang Wenyuan's tone was filled with despair. "This failure has made me lose my chance forever, so remember, soul refining can only be done twice, if you fail again, I don't know what will happen, but you definitely won't have another chance."

  "I have only one last chance..." Gallo had already guessed some of the outcome, but this answer still shocked her too much.

  "Don't worry, although it's the last chance, it doesn't mean there's no hope. The main method of soul alchemy should be roughly the same for everyone, using a large amount of high-grade materials to represent the quality of the human body, and then using something important that may be attached to the soul before death to transfer the soul, right?"

  Garo nodded silently "That's right."

  "But what's important is what comes next. Our ideas weren't wrong and were correct, but I later found out that the reason we failed was because we lacked one thing."

  "What a thing!"

  Jiang Wenyuan smiled and said, "You should also be able to guess that the soul-refining alchemy is a power against the gods, also known as the domain of the gods. Could it be that this name is just for calling? No, we were all wrong. Since the second failure, I have understood that we lacked the most important material."

  "Crystal of God."

  "It is only by relying on the so-called divine power that we can merge the soul and body, which is what is truly needed, and it is only he who can make alchemy of the soul truly be grasped by us."

  "I guess I'm just lucky to be able to tell you this, since few people get a second chance at soul alchemy after failing the first time. Anyway, that's how it is. You should already know what I mean by now. Oh right, before I give you the method for creating the Divine Crystal, there's one more thing I need to tell you."

  Jia Luo nodded "Go on."

  "What I'm about to tell you, you absolutely cannot tell anyone else, not even if they're also alchemists. You should have already realized that this world is the shadow of our Earth, also known as a dual entity. And soul alchemy is the key to unlocking this world. If you use soul alchemy for the second time and still manage to survive safely, then you might be able to return to Earth. So, for the sake of Earth, for the sake of this world, you absolutely cannot reveal this secret. Do you understand?"

  Jia Luo's eyes widened in shock and it took him a long time to calm down. "Alright, I understand. Don't worry, I won't say anything."

  "Hmm, so finally, I'll tell you the way to make the Crystal of God." Jiang Wenyuan's body disappeared and turned into a beam of light that slowly entered Galo's forehead. After a while, Galo suddenly opened his eyes wide, with an expression full of incredulity "How is this possible! This is the way to make the Crystal of God!"

  At this moment, the battle outside was also in full swing. Shana and Kelnas encountered another attack by the Crimson Denizens, and this time, there were three Grade Seven Denizens. There was no way to escape anymore; they could only rely on their own strength to fight.

  Donning the Lightning Saint Armor, Kernas single-handedly countered two demons. The armor greatly increased her speed and attack power, and its defensive capabilities allowed her to withstand the attacks of the two demons.

  On the other hand, Shana's battle is much more dangerous. The demon she is fighting is the strongest of the three and she doesn't have the divine armor, so it's absolutely impossible for her to withstand him head-on.

  Seizing the opportunity of the demon's attack, Shana unleashed her Heaven and Earth Wanderer technique to its limits. Her hands danced with unparalleled flexibility, using softness to counter her opponent's powerful strength.

  "Xiao Na can't hold on for that long, I must end the fight quickly to go support her." Shana's right hand rotated, deflecting the opponent's punch, while her left hand struck with a Buddha's Radiant Palm, heavily hitting the opponent's chest. However, this demon's demonic energy was extremely dense, and this palm strike could only slightly repel him a few steps back.

  The demon raised his hands high and the demonic energy transformed into two giant knives that slashed down! Just this one move alone was enough to show that his opponent's strength wasn't much different from Gorthok's.

  Shana couldn't dodge anymore and could only take it head-on. Gritting her teeth, Shana raised both palms, Heavenly Buddha Palm, Buddha moves the mountains and rivers!

  Four hands collided, and a loud explosion sounded! Shana was knocked back several steps, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. The demon wasn't doing well either. This move, the Heavenly Buddha Palm, had a special power that generated a massive shockwave when the two palms met, shattering the demon's magic knife on the spot. Shana swallowed a mouthful of blood and flashed forward, his palm creating countless points of light. Heavenly Buddha Palm, Buddha's Light Thousand Points!

  The palm was too dense, and the demon couldn't distinguish it for a moment. He could only raise his hands to protect his head, strengthen his body with magic, and harden himself to take this palm.

  But Shana's attack suddenly disappeared, her left hand rose, and pressed heavily on the opponent's crossed wrists, a huge force burst out, forcibly pressing down the demon's hands.

  The demon was shocked to see Sha Na, who smiled slightly and raised his right hand to strike out! The speed of the slant increased, and seven consecutive palms instantly hit the demon's face!

  Tian Fo Zhang, Ying Fo Xi Tian!

  Translation:

  Heavenly Buddha Palm, Welcome Buddha from Western Heaven!

  Seven consecutive heavy blows, this demon's body was strong but couldn't hold on any longer, spitting blood from his mouth and nose as he was sent flying far away. Shana was also floating virtually on her feet, almost unable to stand, the power consumption was too great, already making her feel a bit tired.

  Turning around, Shana's face showed a terrified expression "Xiao Na!"
