Chapter 266 - 265: What a Pity There’s So Little Power of Supreme Divinity
"Will Lihui really wake up this time?"
Nalan Fengshan seemed to be asking Chu He, but also himself.
The medical room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, yet Nalan Fengshan’s ragged breathing cut through the silence.
It was because Nalan Fengshan was incredibly tense.
Supreme Divinity—such a miraculous, otherworldly power.
If even it couldn’t awaken Shan Lihui from this mysterious slumber,
then there might truly be no hope left.
"Patience."
Chu He’s reply was faint, offering little in the way of comfort.
Even Chu He couldn’t say for sure whether Shan Lihui would be able to recover from her bizarre condition.
The power of Supreme Divinity was extremely domineering.
Upon entering Shan Lihui’s body,
wisps of black and gray energy began to be forcefully squeezed out of her pores.
This black and gray energy...
came partly from the original culprit that had plunged Shan Lihui into her strange, near-death state.
The rest was a result of Nalan Fengshan’s efforts to preserve her life by using the strange Evil Spirit from the Cyan Mountain Cemetery—one that was notoriously difficult to kill and could continuously generate a potent, mysterious vitality—to sustain her.
Now, as the Supreme Divine Power entered Shan Lihui’s body,
its very nature began to expel the other Mysterious Powers within her.
If the Mysterious Powers were villains running amok,
then the Supreme Divine Power was a sovereign king. It would never tolerate such forces in its domain.
"It’s... It seems to be working."
Nalan Fengshan’s eyes reddened.
He was both thrilled and terrified, afraid this was merely a temporary resurgence—a fleeting moment of hope before he was plunged back into despair.
Nalan Fengshan held his breath and looked at Chu He with anticipation, hoping he would give it his all.
He knew full well that this young man’s power had reached an unbelievable level,
and his knowledge was so vast that Nalan Fengshan couldn’t even begin to compare.
At this point, it was less about pinning all hope on the Supreme Divine Power,
and more about entrusting it to the young man named Chu He.
Chu He raised his hand, a milky-white light pulsing from his palm.
This milky-white light was Yang Qi, separated from his Yin Yang Power. It could also be called the Qi of Life.
Like gentle rain on parched earth, this Yang Qi slowly seeped into Shan Lihui’s body,
causing the black and gray energy to be expelled at an ever-increasing rate.
After about half an hour, the last wisp of mysterious energy was expelled from Shan Lihui’s body.
Then, a milky-white light began to seep from her pores instead.
This light grew in volume, resembling a thick, viscous fluid that slowly coated Shan Lihui’s body, eventually forming a milky-white cocoon.
It enveloped her completely, and the Qi of Life pulsed within.
"Barring any complications, it should be a success."
Chu He lowered his hand and extended his Spiritual Power into the cocoon.
He found that her body was no longer lifeless. Instead, a nascent vitality was slowly reawakening within her.
It was like the end of a harsh winter, when a tender green sprout pushes its first hint of color through the soil.
It wasn’t much, but it was a sign of life, the promise of spring.
"What do we do now? Do we just wait?" Nalan Fengshan asked nervously, his gaze fixed on the milky-white cocoon on the bed.
"We can only wait. At the very least, Shan Lihui is showing signs of life now."
Chu He patted Nalan Fengshan on the shoulder. "This is a necessary part of the process. No one can rush it. Acting rashly could cause more problems. You’ve already witnessed how unique Supreme Divinity is."
Nalan Fengshan knew this was true.
He pulled a chair over, sat down, and watched the milky-white cocoon in silence.
Chu He walked out of the medical room. Gao Liceng had gone to the training grounds.
The training grounds were where the members of the Defense Team conducted their daily training.
Gao Liceng was there, training hard to adapt to the Supreme Divine Power within her as quickly as possible.
Yumizakura followed at Chu He’s side.
She watched the members of the Defense Team sitting on the field, absorbing and expelling the Supreme Divine Power with each breath.
Even Yumizakura was stunned by the sight.
’That’s Supreme Divine Power,’
’Even Evil Spirits would scramble to seize it.’
’And now Chu He was just giving it away to these ordinary human Martial Artists.’
’This went far beyond a simple grand gesture.’
’If word of this got out, it would cause an uproar.’
Seeing this, Yumizakura felt a secret sense of relief.
’Thank goodness that back when Chu He descended upon the White-Red Empire...’
’...and fell into that trap set by the Lighthouse, White Elephant, and White-Red Empires...’
’...I didn’t rashly join them in their attack.’
’Instead, I made the right decision and chose to submit to him.’
’Otherwise, given Chu He’s temperament back then,’
’he would have never allowed a Deity to continue existing in the White-Red Empire.’
’He would have torn the earth apart to find and kill me.’
’Once this group of Defense Team members finishes absorbing the Supreme Divine Power,’
’Chu He will have created an unbelievably terrifying fighting force.’
’That’s equivalent to a group of warriors at the Quasi-Emperor Realm, at the very least!’
「Another two weeks passed in the blink of an eye.」
One by one, the members of the Defense Team finished absorbing the Supreme Divine Power, reaching a state of Perfection.
No matter how hard they tried, they could absorb no more.
And so, one after another, they left the training field.
Empowered by the Supreme Divine Power,
even the weakest of the Defense Team members who had finished the process reached the King’s Realm.
The more talented among them ascended in a single leap, breaking straight into the Emperor Realm!
"It’s a shame there’s so little of this Supreme Divine Power."
Chu He shook his head wistfully. "Even the White Elephant Empire, the most populous of them all, only had three Supreme Gods."
Yumizakura, sitting nearby and hugging her knees, was at a loss for words.
’This was already an incredible feat, yet Chu He still wasn’t satisfied.’
’If I weren’t so committed to my own path, I probably would have been unable to resist absorbing that Supreme Divine Power myself.’
’Supreme Divine Power is only perfect when you cultivate it yourself through evolution.’
’If you just absorb it from an external source, you’ll hit your limit for this lifetime.’
’A method like that is a shortcut that ultimately stunts your growth.’
"Mr. Chu, a call from the Royal City."
Liu Qiang walked over with a phone and placed it on the table in front of Chu He.
Chu He picked up the phone. Liu Yuzhu’s voice came from the other end. "Mr. Chu, we’ve received an invitation from the Lighthouse Empire for the Martial Arts Academy’s ranking competition."
